Guys! I hope you like this! Let me know what you think!


It's been 10 days since he last saw his wife. Every day, he's not sure how he's able to survive his endless meetings and paper works but he always looks forward at the end of the day and that's because of 2 things. One, he'll be sending his wife a voicemail though sometimes he's just saying what's in his mind out loud without any filters. Second, is the daily report that he's been getting about his wife.

During her stay in Ultears inn, he was constantly on edge because he's been receiving pictures of his wife giving out her innocent smile and laugh to another man and how he was always so close to her. He planned to go back without letting anyone know because he knew that all of them will protest but unfortunately Mira bombarded him with paper works while Grey and Erza are not taking their eyes off him. Grey doesn't even sleep in his own room rather he sleeps on the sofa outside Natsu's room! They knew him too well. He's not sure if he's happy to have friends like them or if it's a pain.

When Lucy went back to the city, he calmed down. At least she's no longer with that blonde guy but it pained him when he was told that she moved back to her parents' house. He was expecting it but he was also hoping that the damage won't go that far… During the day, he's been acting as Natsu Dragneel the CEO of Nazer Corp but when behind the door of his hotel room, he's Natsu who's been a jerk to his wife and who can't even admit that he's way beyond just "liking" her.

Most nights, he only uses the moon as his light and he will just sit in the middle of his bed, leaning on the big headboard with his right knee bent. His right hand is resting on his knee while holding a picture of his wife. He'll stay like that for hours.

Today, his tiredness is doubled because aside from the meetings and paper works, he had to attend a press conference, and of course, they didn't fail to ask about his marriage. The only response that he was able to give about his marriage is… "You'll be meeting her soon…"

Hopefully, when I get back, I still have a wife… he thought.

When he was about to sit in the bed, he noticed the black paper bag. It's shining because of the moonlight and it's like it is calling him. "Maybe it's time to open it…" he said to himself.

He picked up the bag and walked to the huge window that is partly open beside his bedside table. He leaned on the window and looked at what's inside the bag. There was a box and a folded paper. He reached for the folded paper then placed the bag on the bedside table.

He's not sure why but as he unfolds the paper, his heart can't stop beating fast.

The paper used was not fancy at all but the handwriting is perfect. It was a letter from his wife.


To my dearest husband,

I'm not so sure what to give you on your birthday and also for the first month of our marriage. I'm not good with words, gifts, surprises, and most especially with a relationship like ours. You also have everything, including me by the way (LOL), so it's really hard to find something precious to give you... The only thing I can think of that you still don't have is a vow/confession/letter from your wife and a wedding ring. So... I got you both!

Husband,

You may not remember but today is our first month of being married. I did not expect that I'll be writing a letter like this to my husband who didn't even bother to know my name before agreeing to our marriage! But here I am... loving every day that I'm with you... Again, I am not good with words husband but I mean every single word that I am writing now.

I can still remember how hard I cried when I learned that I'm married. I was scared but I still went to your place hoping that everything will be okay... Then I met you... you're.. you're jaw-dropping... You deserve the title "best bachelor". I thought living with you would be hard but it's not. It's not hell, like what I used to imagine. It just gets too hot whenever you're around...

But kidding aside, because of you, slowly I am learning to forgive myself, slowly I am "wanting" something again for myself... and slowly you're changing my life... You've done so much for me in just a month and I can't thank you enough...

You've become someone I want to be with for the rest of my life... A mere glimpse of your smile makes my heart flutter. Your touch melts me away... I won't get tired hearing you call me wife, it's a sweet melody to my ears... Cooking for you... waiting every night for you to come home... sharing the same bed with you... I am starting to love it.. all of it... I am starting to love you husband... No, that's wrong. I'm in love with you, Natsu.

I'm not asking you now to feel the same... just let me take care of you... I promise to be the best companion, be your go-to person when you need someone to talk to, and a wife you can be proud of.

I'd like you to wear "our" ring so you'll always be reminded that I am always here for you... it might not be now but I hope someday, I'd be able to complete you.

I may not be able to make a vow now to love you until the end of time but I will take care of you until your pretty pink hair turns white. We may not be lovers at this moment, but I promise to do my best, so we'll be one...

But if fate will not allow us to be lovers in this lifetime then I'll find you in our next one.. and make you fall in love with me. :)

Hugs and kisses.

Your wife,

Lucy

PS: I'll be the one to put the ring on your finger and can you do the same for me?


The tears that he's been holding back for this past week finally fell. The guilt that he's been feeling was doubled and he's totally speechless. For the nth time, Lucy never fails to amaze him. He folded the letter neatly then placed it on the bedside table then reached for the box inside the bag.

When he opened the box, there were 2 simple wedding rings. He got the bigger one and he immediately noticed that his wife's name was engraved in his ring. He checked his wife's ring and there, his name is clearly written. He was happy but at the same time, he felt like the world came crashing down on him. He realized how much effort she's been putting in for their marriage and how he stubbornly ignored that.

He placed both the ring back in their box and he continued leaning on the window for a few minutes before he reached for his phone.

He wanted to ask her for another chance… His feeling of wanting to be the best husband for her grew stronger… He wanted to know if she still feels the same…

He breathes heavily before dialing her number. When he heard the beep, he started to speak, he sounded calm and composed but tears are falling from his face.

"Luce, I'm tired.. I wanna hear your voice wife. I want to see you. It's been 10 days now but I know that those 10 days are still not enough to heal the pain that I've caused you… Because I am missing you so much, I've decided to open your gift for my birthday.. I've been so scared to open it because I knew already that it's gonna be precious and I don't deserve it… Wife, thank you but when I saw it, it hit me hard that I don't really deserve it. I'm reminded of how foolish my actions were and how much you mean to me… Luce, in your letter… I just wanna ask… Do you still feel the same... do you still want to take care of my wife until my pretty pink hair turns white?"

There's still so much he wanted to say but he didn't want to give his wife even a small hint that he's crying so he hung up before he can even finish everything that he wanted to say.

He did not bother changing his clothes, he just lay down on his bed. He placed his left arm on his eyes and he silently cried himself to sleep.
