Lucy felt the air in her lungs disappear as she took in the news. Her father had bumped up the wedding to tomorrow. Lucy clenched her fists and ran out of her room. The maid was startled as Erza ran past her and tackled Lucy to the ground. Lucy fought to escape, but Erza was clearly too strong for her. After a few deep breaths, Lucy stopped her fighting and Erza pulled her back up to her feet.
"Damn him..." Lucy cursed. Erza had a look of hatred in her eyes, but she somehow kept herself from running off and killing anyone. It could have been her tight grip on Lucy keeping them both in check.
"We need to keep calm and think..."
"Easy for you to say."
"Oh no it's not..." Erza was frowning and trying to think, but nothing was coming to her mind. Lucy sighed and dragged Erza with her outside. The knight was confused and wondered where they were going. Surely Lucy wasn't going to run. They stopped at a big garden, and Erza was amazed by its beauty.
"This was my mothers garden. She would always be out here." Lucy smiled in reminiscence. Erza smiled softly and held Lucy's hand. "Now I come out here to think or remember her..."
"I'm sorry."
"No it's okay. She helped me with so much. She taught me magic. She knew I would grow up and want a different life. I wasn't supposed to have an arranged marriage, but when she died, something changed in my father. He turned into a cold hearted man." Lucy bent down and touched one of the roses. "I changed too. I wanted to learn more about the world, see new things, and make real friends my age. Something my father refused to give me. Now that I have had a taste of the world out there, I plan on going back out there."
"Lucy I will make sure that happens. No matter what." Erza said as she took a seat beside Lucy. The smaller girl smiled and leaned into Erza.
"Thank you."
"We need a plan..." Erza sighed and tried to think. Suddenly something hit her. "Hey Lucy..."
"Yes?"
"I have a plan, but I can't tell you right now."
"Huh?" Lucy was extremely confused.
"You'll find out tomorrow, but for today, can we spend it alone?"
"Sure...but the wedding is tomorrow...why can't I know?"
"You'll see."
"I'm so going to freak out tomorrow..." Lucy groaned.
…...
Natsu tapped his foot impatiently. He had been mad that Erza sent them home last night. Gray stared at the doors with a bored expression.
"Where is she!?" Natsu roared.
"I'm guessing she stayed with Lucy last night..."
"Well I want to hit someone!" Natsu threw his fist to the side and knocked Gray over.
"What was that for flame for brains!?"
"Shut up ice queen!" Natsu and Gray started another fist fight and everyone just sighed. Mira laughed and wiped the counter as she watched. Cana yawned.
"You think Erza will come back today?" Mira asked quietly.
"Maybe." Cana replied.
"I hope Lucy is okay."
"I'm sure she is fine." Cana laid her head on the counter and watched the fight between the boys. "Erza is most likely with her seeing as something happened."
"I wonder what happened."
"Erza will let you know when she returns. Just wait."
"I hope they get married." Cana gaped at her friend.
"You sure are a dreamer..."
…...
Lucy sighed as she looked for Erza. They were in the middle of a game of hide and seek and Lucy was doing horrible at finding the knight and she was the one that lived here. Lucy walked over to the pond and sat down. Erza could wait a little longer. The blonde yawned and stretched her arms above her head. It was a perfect day. The sun was shining down and bringing warmth with it. Lucy looked at the water and noticed Erza trying to creep up on her, Lucy pretended not to notice her. Erza stood behind Lucy with a big grin on her face. Erza started to sit down and Lucy swiftly moved her arms to grab Erza and bring her in for a kiss. Erza was stunned and Lucy giggled.
"Found you."
"And here I thought I was the sneaky one..." Erza laughed. Lucy leaned into Erza and closed her eyes. Erza smiled and wrapped her arms around Lucy. They had been spending their day together roaming around the property. Lucy didn't even think of all the chaos in her life. All she focused on was the warm feeling in her chest whenever Erza kissed her and pulled her close. Lucy got up and held her hand out for Erza to take. The knight grabbed it and stood up. Lucy smiled.
"Care to dance?"
"No music?"
Lucy grinned and pulled out a key. Erza watched closely as Lucy summoned one of her spirits. A girl with a harp appeared and smiled at them.
"What can I do for you today?"
"Could you play some music for us to dance to?"
"Of course! I'm guessing you want something romantic." Lyra giggled as Lucy blushed. Erza chuckled and started their dance when the music started. Lucy followed Erza's moves perfectly and they both had bright smiles on their faces. Erza made Lucy do a little twirl and then pulled her in for a sweet kiss. Lucy leaned her head on Erza's shoulder when Lyra started playing a slower song. They moved slowly around the small pond and held each other tightly. Lyra winked at them and Erza blushed before losing her footing and causing them to both fall into the pond. Lucy burst out laughing and Erza soon followed suit. Lyra was dismissed as Lucy tried to stop her laughing. Erza splashed Lucy and started a water fight. Lucy moved away from Erza and splashed her back. Both girls were soaked, but neither cared. Erza lunged at the smaller girl and leaned in for a passionate kiss. Lucy wrapped her arms around Erza's neck and the knight walked them both out of the pond and into a small clearing. She set Lucy down and they finally broke for air. Lucy was smiling and hugged Erza. The sun was starting to set and they decided to watch the sunset. Erza thought the entire scene was beautiful and perfect. She had Lucy in her arms and though they were soaking wet, it was warm. Erza grabbed one of Lucy's hands and brought it up to her lips. She kissed it and then held it to her heart. Lucy blushed and stared at the hand.
"Erza?"
"I need to tell you something Lucy. I wanted to tell you before you left Fairy Tail, but I didn't get the chance." Erza paused a moment to gather the right words. Lucy waited patiently for the girl to continue. "I know we haven't known each other that long and we just started dating a few days ago, but I think...no...I know that I've fallen for you. Your smile is the most beautiful thing I have seen and I want to continue seeing it. You are making me feel something that I never thought I would feel."
Lucy held her free hand to her mouth and felt tears threatening to fall. She smiled and put her hand on Erza's cheek. "Erza..."
"I love you Lucy. I don't ever want to lose you." Erza stared into Lucy's eyes and then lifted a hand to wipe some tears away with a smile. Lucy leaned into the touch.
"I love you too Erza and I won't leave you. Ever. I want to hear you laugh and see a big grin on your face. Just like today. Nothing my father says or does will ever change how I feel. He says this is some childish crush, but I know it's more. The way you fight to be with me...no one has ever done that. You've made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter Erza." Lucy leaned in and pressed her lips to Erza's. The kiss was full of emotion and when they pulled apart, they leaned their foreheads together. Erza chuckled softly.
"Careful daughter huh? I thought of something similar to what you just said before."
"Figured you did." Lucy laughed. She lifted her head to look at Erza. "You're going home tonight aren't you?"
"Yeah. I need to speak with the master."
"Something to do with your plan?"
"Yeah. Trust me Lucy, I'm going to crash your wedding. Sorry." Erza smirked and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Okay...but I don't mind because if it's not you I'm marrying, then I don't want it." Lucy blushed and Erza kissed her quickly before speaking.
"Maybe someday princess." Erza smiled a genuine smile and stood up with Lucy. "I should get you home."
"All right." Lucy held Erza's hand as they made their way back. Lucy opened the doors and they continued their walk back to Lucy's room in silence. The staff smiled and left them alone. As long as Lucy was happy, they didn't care who she was with. Erza opened Lucy's door and allowed Lucy to walk in before closing it quietly. Lucy stripped out of her wet clothes while Erza just re-quipped into another outfit. Lucy put on a pair of pajamas and sat down on the bed with Erza.
"Lay down. I'll stay till you fall asleep." Erza said as she tucked Lucy in. The blonde giggled at Erza's actions, but listened to her. Lucy turned on her side and closed her eyes. She could feel Erza stroking her hair and smiled. It didn't take long for her to drift off, but before she completely fell asleep, she heard Erza whisper into her ear. "Sleep well Lucy and I'll see you tomorrow. I love you."
…...
Erza walked into the guild and everyone turned their attention to her. Natsu and Gray shot up out of their seats and ran to her.
"How is Lucy!?" Natsu yelled.
"Where have you been!?" Gray shouted. Erza sighed and walked past them. She approached the bar and sat down. Mira handed her a drink which she drank quietly. Mira leaned close.
"So? What happened?"
"She met the man she was supposed to marry and he...hurt her. Her father is an idiot and decided to move the wedding to tomorrow. He threatened to destroy Fairy Tail if he ever saw me again."
"Are you serious!?" Mira yelled. She squeezed the glass in her hand too hard and it shattered. "We can't let that happen! You and Lucy love each other and everyone in this guild will fight for you guys!"
"Yeah. I'm not going to let that happen."
"What are you going to do?"
"Crash the wedding. Fairy Tail style." Erza smirked and her friends grew big grins on their faces as they caught on.
