I'm back!
I hope everyone had a nice ending of the year and that this year started well!
CHAPTER FOURTEEN'
When Lucy woke up she was really happy. Because she was cuddling with Natsu.
She looked at him, he looked so peaceful. She was truly the luckiest person ever!
Her happy place is here with him, but she needs to leave that place…
Because she needs to pee…
When she was on her way to the bathroom she saw her phone in the living room. It was blinking. She took it with her and entered the bathroom. She had three unread messages.
Two of them were from Mira and one was from Levy where she sent her a happy birthday.
Mira's messages, however, was different. In the first, she wondered how Natsu felt now. In the second, she wrote and asked if Lucy could take Natsu to Fairy Tail during the day. Everyone was worried about him after what happened the day before.
She sent a fast response to Levy where she thanked her.
She also sent a response to Mira, where she promised her that she is going to bring Natsu there as soon as he wakes up, because he is still sleeping.
She then left the bathroom and threw her phone on the sofa in the living room and then tipped on her toes back to the bedroom, where Natsu was still sleeping. She smiled and snuggled under the covers again where she began to cuddle with Natsu again.

An hour later Natsu finally decided to wake up.
He woke up with a smile on his face because the most beautiful woman was lying next to him with her own smile.
"Morning." She murmured.
"Morning." He answered her and smiled bigger at her. Damn he is the luckiest man on earth.
She giggled at him and smiled bright at him.
"Does this mean that you are my girlfriend now?" he asked her with a smile that was even bigger than before.
"What made you think that?" she answered with a smirk.
"But we had sex yesterday!" he shouted out embarrassed.
"Oh, Natsu. People have sex all the time, it doesn't mean they are together. It's something you have to ask." Lucy said and tried to hide her blush.
Natsu tore off the covers and sat down on his knees before her. Lucy really tried to keep her eyes on his face but it was difficult given that he sat in front of her…
Completely
Naked
It looked like he was going to propose to her.
"Lucy Heartfilia. You are the only woman I ever loved and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"Natsu!" she said and threw herself at him. "I will love to be your girlfriend!" she added and kissed him sweetly.
"Really?" he asked and lit up like the sun.
She nodded at him.
"Just so you know, I started counting yesterday." he said, wiping hair from her face.
She smiled big at him. "Me too."
"We should go up." whispered Lucy when Natsu kissed her neck.
He hummed in reply, but continued to kiss her.
"Natsu!" she laughed. "It tickles."
"Really, then I'll continue." He said with a smirk.
"Natsu! We really need to go up now." She said and pushed him away lightly.
"Why? It's your birthday – happy birthday by the way - and you wanted to spend it here with me. So why can't we spend it here?" he said and kissed her neck again.
"Thank you." she said and blushed. "I would love to do what you are saying but I promised Mira to take you over to Fairy Tail, everyone is worried about you."
He sighed. "You are kidding..."
"No, I'm not. So go and take a shower mister. I will make breakfast."
"Why can't you join me?" he said and sat up.
"Because we will never leave if I do that."
He smirked at her. "Well that's the point."
She pointed at the door. "I don't want to get killed by Mira."
He jumped down from the bed and smiled one last time at her before he started go toward the door.
It was then she noticed something she hadn't noticed before on Natsu.
Natsu has a large tattoo on his right shoulder blade. A big red dragon.
"Nice tattoo." said Lucy, surprised. "I didn't know you had one."
He turned around and looked at her than he scratched the back of his head. "I did that after my parents died. Me and Igneel loved dragons so it felt right to do it."
She smiled at him.
"Is it okay?" he asked her uncertain.
"What do you mean?" she answered confused.
"I mean, is it okay that I have a tattoo?" he asked her again.
She looked shocked at him. "Of course Natsu! That is nothing I decide. If you like your tattoo, then there is nothing more to talk about. Especially since it's a memory of your father." She answered and smiled at him. "Now, hurry up in the shower so we can eat."
He smiled big at her and left the room.
She also smiled and dressed in her old clothes from the day before. Yuk, she can't wait until she can put on new, fresh clothes.
When Natsu was out of the shower, they ate their breakfast pretty fast. Then they drove to Levy's apartment.
Once they were inside they noticed that Levy was not home. Lucy didn't give herself time to wonder where she could be, she took new, fresh clothes and hurried herself in her shower. Never will she set her foot in Fairy Tail without showered.
They had just entered the car again and was just going to drive to Fairy Tail when Natsu froze.
"Natsu? Are you okay?"
He looked panicked at her. "Lucy, yesterday we didn't use protection."
She giggled at him.
"Lucy, I'm serious! It's not that I don't want to have children with you, but we are young and we have just started with all… this. I don't want to tell our children that they came just because I forgot the condom!"
"Calm down Natsu." Lucy said between her giggle. "I'm on the pill so we are safe, for now at least. But in the future perhaps we should use it."
"Oh." Was his response, and he calmed down pretty fast after that.
She smiled at him. "Shall we drive? Mira will not be happy if we are later than we already are."
"One more thing." Natsu said and smiled back at her.
"What is it now?" she asked.
He took out her birthday present. "Happy birthday Lucy."
"Natsu?" she asked confused. "I told you not to buy me anything." She added and blushed.
"Yeah, you did and I didn't listen. Open it."
She opened the package and saw the necklace. She almost started crying.
"Natsu. I don't know what to say. It is so beautiful! It must have cost a fortune!"
"Not really. But the price is not the most important thing right?" he said and smiled at her.
She turned around and pulled her hair out from the way. "Help me put it on."
"Do you like it?" he asked when it was on her.
"No, I love it." She answered and kissed him lightly. "Let's go. I want to show everyone this." She added and smiled big at him.
"Yes sir." said Natsu and began to drove.
When they arrived at Fairy Tail were a few of their closest friends outside waiting for them.
Lisanna was the first to run towards them and threw herself in Natsu's arms.
"I was so worried!" she whispered in his ear.
Natsu himself stood as frozen. He didn't know what he should do. He didn't want to be rude and push her away, but having her in his arms didn't make him feel comfortable.
"Give the guy some breathing room." said Gray, patting her lightly on the back.
It was as Lisanna then realized what she was doing. She let go of him and blushed. Natsu himself took Lucy's hand in his and smiled. Lisanna saw this and quickly looked down at the ground.
Then the door opened and to Lucy's surprise, it was Levy who came out.
"I just wondered when you'd show up." she said, and smiled at them.
"Well, we're here now." responded Natsu and grinned at them all. "And now that Levy is also here, I have something I want to tell you all. Lucy and I are dating now." he added, and turned to Lucy and smiled. Lucy smiled back and then kissed him lightly.
Levy began to jump and bounce with joy.
Gray muttered that it was about time.
Erza shook her head but with a smile on her face.
Lisanna smiled a sad smile, but she is happy for them.
Cana began to ask about their sex life directly, which led to a blushing Lucy.
Natsu stood and laughed and smiled like a happy fool.
Lucy managed to persuade Cana that she will tell her more later. "Are we going to stand here all day, or can we go inside?"
They all went inside and were met by people screaming: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!"
Lucy and Natsu stood both as two question marks.
Lucy wondered how they could know that it's her birthday and Natsu wondered about the same thing, until it occurred to him that he told Mira of all people...
"Mira!" he shouted out angry.
Lucy herself was in such shock that her life instinct broke out and she ran away from there.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!?" he shouted again at her.
"It is her birthday! I wanted to do something for her." said Mira and pouted.
"Shit! I forgot Lucy hate this kind of stuff! I am the worst best friend ever!" exclaimed Levy and ran after Lucy.
"I'm sorry Natsu. I didn't know that Lucy doesn't like this kind of stuff. Me and Levy talked about it and decided that she deserved a nice birthday with people that love her." said Mira and looked guilty.
Natsu just sighed. He hopes Levy can calm her down, and manages to convince her that this is a good thing. Not that he believes she will succeed. Lucy made it very clear what she thinks about this kind of stuff...
.
"Lucy!" Levy shouted. "Were are you!? Please tell me where you are!"
She checked everywhere in Fairy Tail. And that way Lucy ran, there's no doors leading out so she must be in here somewhere.
She walked past the toilets and saw that one was occupied so she assumed that Lucy was in there. But when she knocked on the door, it turned out that there was another woman in there so her hunt to find Lucy continued
After she looked for her for five minutes, she found her at last. She was sitting in a storage room and she was shaking.
It pained Levy to see her like that and know that she is guilty to it.
"Lucy." she said as she approached.
Lucy looked up at her with tears in her eyes.
She quickly wiped away the tears and cleared her throat. "I'm sorry Levy that I reacted like this."
"You have nothing to be sorry for! This is my fault! I know that you don't like this kind of stuff and I still did it! I know! I know and I failed you." she said painfully.
"You haven't done anything wrong! Anyone else wouldn't have reacted like I did. I'm just destroyed because of everything that happened. I hate surprises, and I hate my birthday even more…"
"But that's the thing Lucy! I know that, but when Mira asked me if I wanted to help her make a surprise party for you I said yes! I didn't even think…" said Levy, and sat down next to her.
Lucy smiled sadly at her. "You just wanted to make me happy. I'm not angry at you."
"You are too nice Lucy. You should be angry at me."
"Should we go back? You and Mira has after all made a birthday party for me. I don't want to be more rude than I already been to you today." said Lucy, and stood up.
Levy looked shocked at her but stood up as well.
.
"Lucy!" Natsu shouted out happily when he saw them coming.
"Sorry if I made you worried."
"It's okay. I was worried about you. I wanted to give Levy time to talk to you, but I was just going to go look for you two." He said and hugged her.
"Well, since they put so much time on this let's stay and celebrate with them." Said Lucy and smiled at him. "I promise; I will not run away again."
Natsu laughed lightly. "Sure, it's your day after all."
"Lucy!" Mira shouted out sadly. "I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay Mira. I'm sorry that I reacted the way I did. Just… don't do it again, please…"
"I promise!"
Lucy smiled at her. "Well, have you heard the good news Mira?"
"Good news? What have I missed!?"
Lucy smiled bigger at her and turned to look at Natsu. "Natsu and I are dating." She said and turned to face her again.
"Oh! Finally! I have been waiting for this moment since Natsu told me about you! I'm so happy for you two! Congratulations!" answered Mira and grabbed both of them and hugged them.
"Mira you need to see my birthday gift from Natsu! It's sooooo beautiful!"
"Oh, let me see!"
She pulled up the necklace so that Mira could look at it.
"Natsu, it really is beautiful like that. Perfect!"
"Thank you Mira. I had good help." he replied, and winked at her.
"Oh, I know! She said and smiled big.
"Wait... rewind the tape. You knew about this?" Lucy asked confused.
Mira looked at Natsu.
"Yes, she knew because she was the one that helped me. I didn't know what to give you... I wanted to give you something that showed you how much you mean to me, but I didn't know what to give you, so Mira took me to a place she went to often when we were younger and the old lady in the store helped me, pretty much." Natsu answered.
"Your idiot!" Lucy laughed out and hugged him. "You could have given me anything, I would have loved it anyway - because I love you!"
Natsu smiled at her. "I love you too!"
.
Maybe it's not so bad to spend your birthday with your friends after all.
She has after all Natsu by her side, and is there something she wants more than that?
No.
