Yours Forevermore
Lucy sighed as she pulled her tank top over her head, dropping it onto the cold bathroom tiles. She, Gray, and Erza had just gotten back from a rather vigorous mission, and she as more than ready for a nice hot shower. She flicked her hair over her left shoulder, and something caught her eye when she glanced into the mirror. She moved closer and angled her head to get a better look at the dark red mark on the junction of her neck and shoulder. A wistful smile stretched onto her lips as she stared at it, and she went over it with her fingertips, a gentle pink hue dusting across her cheeks.
It was Natsu's mark.
He'd given it to her when they made love on their wedding night. He bit down hard on her as he climaxed, his fangs sinking into her flesh and creating a distinctive scar consisting of two red spots. It hurt like hell, and it bled profusely, but she didn't care. It was a loving gesture, claiming her as his mate for eternity. She would forever belong to him, and he would always belong to her. They would continue to be together until the end of time, as cheesy as it may sound.
Lucy felt a pang of affection in her chest as she remembered that night, her hand tenderly caressing the scar. It was definitely the greatest night of her life, for two reasons. One, she got married to the man she loved with all her heart. And two, the man she loved with all her heart officially claimed her as his own. And her love for him grew more and more every day, even more so when she came out of the bathroom after her shower, greeted by the sight of Natsu himself with their daughter. He was sitting on their bed with his back against the headboard, and Nashi was sitting in his lap. The Dragon Slayer was holding onto her tiny hands as he made ridiculous faces back to back, the girl's giggles rising an octave every time he pulled a new one.
The celestial wizard smiled and leaned against the doorframe, watching the two most important people in her life interact, laughing with each other. Her heart melted as Natsu leaned down and kissed both of Nashi's hands. The blonde giggled lightly, finally catching his attention. He grinned and straightened his back. "Lucy, c'mere, you have to see this," he said excitedly, waving her over. "This is just plain awesome." Lucy sat down on the bed beside him as he puckered his lips and lowered his head down closer to Nashi. The small child splayed her delicate hands on his cheeks and pulled him into the cutest little kiss Lucy had ever seen. He grinned when he pulled away, and the girl clapped her hands, looking up at her mother for approval.
"Oh, my goodness," she laughed, running a hand over her daughter's silky hair. "That was the most adorable thing I've ever seen."
Natsu's chest puffed out with pride. "I taught her that while you were gone," he boasted, showing off his fangs in an arrogant grin. She rolled her eyes and smacked him lightly against his arm, smiling all the while.
Author's Note: Ne, mina! I know, extremely short. But I've been working on another oneshot lately, and it's been taking up most of my time.
