Hey guys it took 25 chapters but we're finally at the point where everything now happens after the fight with Zeref and Acnologia. This chapter takes place about a year after everything.
"Lucy wake up babe." Natsu says as Lucy slowly wakes up with a pink plush in her face.
"Natsu What's in front of my face?" She asks slowly adjusting herself to the light.
"It's your Valentines day present babe." He smiles handing her a pink dragon plush which she happily takes hugging it.
"Thanks what's with the pancakes?" She asks noticing that her boyfriend had made her breakfast in bed.
"What do you think weirdo?" He asks smiling.
"Well sorry I just woke up idiot." She smiles as she turns to start eating.
"Hey Luce I have more things to give you but I need to pick one of them up so do you mind if I leave you alone at the guild for a while?" He asks as she give him a curious look.
"Umm sure but where do you need to go?" She asks in between mouthfuls of food.
"Alcalypha. I got to pick up something there. Happy's going to fly me there considering that you won't be near me if I take a train." Natsu states before Lucy remembers something.
"Hey Natsu have you found Aquarius' broken key yet?" She asks still worried that she couldn't find it.
"No not yet. I still have no Idea how we could've miss placed it." He sighs grabbing her dirty plate and leaving the room.
"Hey Luce get ready so we can get you to the guild." Natsu yells from the kitchen waking up happy who had somehow fallen asleep on the table.
"OK I guess I'll take a shower tonight." She sighs putting on a pink dress with a dragon symbol on the back with black knee high boots and her long hair in a pony tail on the right side of her head with a ribbon.
"Ready?" He asks looking at the dress she was wearing with the boots. "You look absolutely beautiful." He states as the two walk out the house with happy sitting on Lucy's shoulder.
…...
"Hey guys we're here!" Natsu exclaims walking with Lucy to the bar before kissing her cheek and leaving.
"Lucy why are you wearing a dress?" Mira asks raising an eyebrow.
"I'm wearing it because it's Valentines day." she says holding a pink plush dragon to her chest.
"I'm guessing that the plush was from him too?" Mira asks as the newest members of the guild Jellal, Meredy and cobra walk in behind Erza.
"Yup but he said he had to pick up something for me in Alcalypha so I have to stay here." She sighs as Erza and the trio sit down at the bar with Erza sitting next to Lucy. "Oh hey Erza how's your day going?" She asks as her friend had a smile on her face.
"Good. I see Natsu got you something." She smiles noticing the plush as Jellal starts chocking on his food before running out of the guild most likely because he forgot to get his girlfriend, Erza a present.
"What's with him?" The pink haired mage asks watching the blue haired man run out the guild with blinding speed.
"I have no idea. Hey Mira where's Kinnana?" Cobra asks holding a box of chocolates and roses in his hands.
"I think she's going to be back later I think she's getting you something." She explains to the poison dragon slayer.
"I hope Natsu gets here soon. I got him something." Lucy sighs taking out a rectangular box.
…...
"Whew we made it!" Natsu exclaims as him and Happy walk into a small magic shop. "Hey old man I'm here to pick up the key." Natsu states walking to the back to see an old man finishing the key.
"Here you go sir. I hope everything goes well." The old man smiles giving him the key. As Natsu gets the key he runs out of the building and puts the key in a pink bag with a red heart on it.
"I've got everything now Happy let's go to the house and get her ring!" Natsu exclaims as they head to the house at max speed..
…...
"Hey what the hell did you do to my key!" a very angry spirit asks appearing in front of the pink haired man in his house.
"I fixed it for Luce. I would think that you would be happy knowing that you can see Luce again." Natsu states as the spirit notices a small pink box in the mans hand.
"I am thank you Natsu do you have a plan for it?" The spirit asks knowing what the man was planing to do.
"Yeah when I get to the guild can you walk in from the back after I talk to Mira?" He asks as he walks out.
"No problem I'm only doing this because I know she loves you." She states as she disappears.
…...
"Hey guys I'm back." Natsu states walking into the guild with Happy flying over to Charle and Lily. "Hey Mira can I talk to you in the back about something?" Natsu shakily asks as the guild notices a pink bag with a heart in his right hand with his left holding onto something in his pocket.
"Uh sure." Mira says walking to the back with Natsu walking behind her with Natsu avoiding eye contact with Lucy causing her to be extremely worried. "So what do you want to talk about?" Mira asks as Natsu pulls out a small pink box from his pocket and a golden key out of the bag.
"Because I got Aquarius' key fixed and because I want to do this." He states showing Mira the ring causing her to squeal as Aquarius appears.
"So is everything ready?" The spirit asks slightly annoyed by the squealing woman.
"Yeah Hey Mira can you have Lucy sit at the the table we usually sit at and face the doors?" Natsu asks causing Mira to run up the stairs with the two walking up the stairs behind her waiting for the right time.
"Hey Mira why do I have to do this?" Lucy whines as the two hide behind a pillar.
"It's Natsu's surprise for you." Mira smiles motioning for Natsu and Aquarius to come over with the guild in silent shock at the fact that Aquarius was in the human world.
As Aquarius gets closer to Lucy tears start forming in her eyes. "Lucy!" The familiar voice yells hugging the girl as Lucy is in shock as she turns her head to see Aquarius' face and Natsu smiling behind her.
"What the? Aquarius how did you? Your key is missing." Lucy says tears starting to form as the spirit lets go of the blonde.
"Luce the key isn't missing anymore." Natsu smiles as he pulls out Aquarius' key giving it to her causing Lucy to pull him into a hug and kissing him passionately on the lips for a good minute before letting go.
"Lucy I'll be waiting for you to call me again. Natsu treat her right." The spirit says as she dissipates into thin air leaving Natsu holding onto the teary eyed blonde.
"Thank you Natsu. Wait did you get me something else?" She asks noticing that he was holding onto a bag.
"Yeah two things actually." Natsu says as he pulls out a small rectangular box as the entire guild looks over at the couple.
"Natsu let me give you your gift first." She says running over to the bar grabbing a small box and running back and handing him the box. "I got you something else but I'm going to give you that tonight." She explains as Natsu looks at the box curiously. "Open it I think you'll like it." She smiles holing onto his arm.
As he opens the box he notices it was a necklace with a dragon on it. "Luce I love it." He smiles hugging her as she takes it from him.
"Hey do you mind if I put it on you?" She asks standing on her toes to put the necklace on him.
"Thanks Luce. Why don't you open mine before I give you the biggest gift." He smiles handing her the box.
"Natsu what is this?" She asks taking out a bracelet that had charms on it a key, a fish, a dragon, a sword,a snowflake and the fairy tail symbol.
"It's a bracelet that represents our team." he smiles putting the bracelet on her.
"I love it Natsu. Wait if this isn't the best gift what is?" She asks very curious as he rummages through his pocket before walking closer to her. "Natsu?" she asks as he sets her on the table as he smirks. "Natsu you didn't have to do this for me. I didn't get you anything big like you have for me already." she hugs him as she finishes.
"Hey It's fine Luce. Just let me say something OK?" He asks nervousness in his voice as the guild continues staring at the couple. "Luce after everything that has happened I know that I couldn't see me with anyone else." He says as he kneels down in front of her pulling a small pink box out of his pocket. "So Luce will you marry me?" He asks opening the box and showing her a pink diamond ring in the shape of a dragon causing her to jump into his arms crying. "Luce?" He asks confused at her reaction as the rest of the guild smile at the two.
"Here's your answer." She says happily before grabbing the side of his neck and the back of his head pulling him into a passionate kiss that lasted for 5 minutes.
"So is that a yes?" he asks smiling at the girl in his arms.
"Of course it is Idiot." She says smiling with a huge smile on her face.
"Took you long enough Flame Brain." Grey says smiling at the two as Natsu puts the ring on Lucy's left hand.
As the two stand up congratulations were said to the couple as a party was thrown as was customary for the guild when something big happens. "Hey brats calm down for a second I have an announcement to make." Makarov says as him and Guildarts along with Laxus appear from the upstairs balcony as the guild stops and looks at the three. "I have given it much thought with Guildarts and once I am ready to retire Laxus will become the next Guild master." Makarov states smiling as Laxus looks down at everyone smiling. "By the way what is the commotion about?" he asks looking at everyone. As the master asks the question everyone looks at Natsu and Lucy who turns her left hand around showing the master her engagement ring. "Well if that's the case then party on!" The old master yells as the three walk down the stairs.
"Hey Natsu how long have you been planning this?" Guildarts asks sitting down at the table where the couple was along with Erza, Jellal, Grey and Juvia.
"Since we got back from Tenrou Island actually." Natsu says smiling as his fiance was resting her head into his shoulder feeling like nothing could make her happier.
"Wow that's what almost three years?" Erza asks shocked at how long Natsu was planning this
"Yeah but I knew that I wanted to be with her the first time I saw her though." Natsu states as Lisanna runs out the guild. "What's with her?" Natsu asks before noticing that Mira was walking out the door most likely to find her.
"I don't know. Hey Kinanna do you mind getting us a round of drinks?" Guildarts says as people start fights as the seven continue their conversations.
…...
"Ah finally home." Lucy sighs falling into her pillows after taking a shower. "Ugh why did we get so many damn questions?" she groans into her pillows as Natsu just looks at her happily.
"What you sound like you're not happy." He says running a finger in circles on her back.
"No I am. I'm extremely happy. I just didn't like getting bombarded by questions." She sighs before turning to face him.
"Well it is the guild." he says grabbing her left hand and kissing her ring.
"Hey Natsu we should probably set a date for our wedding huh?" she asks as he continues to hold her hand.
"Yeah we should. Hmm how about we set the date for the first day we met?" He asks as he grabs her other hand and kisses her neck.
"Yeah that sounds nice but we should make sure we can that's only three months from now." Lucy says with happiness in her voice.
"Sounds like a plan." He says kissing her cheek as he pulls her into an embrace. "Hey you said you had another gift for me, what is it?" He asks as she wraps her arms around his neck.
"Oh you'll find out tomorrow babe." She winks as she looks up at him smiling.
"OK fine." He says yawning as he places a hand on her hip.
"Hey Natsu? I really do love you." She says lovingly as she nuzzles her face into his chest.
"I know Luce. I love you too." He says covering them in a blanket as they drift to sleep
Yay the start of after everything is said and done is well done. I hope this chapter was good.
