She was lying on their couch, a peaceful expression on her face. He brushed her blonde locks behind her ear and covered her in a blanket.
"I love you, Luce"
She wakes up an hour later. She gets up with some effort and forces herself into the bathroom. She splashes some water on her face and brushes out her hair. She changes into a white tank top and pale blue shorts.
She walks into the kitchen where a certain dragon slayer was waiting eagerly.
"What's for breakfast?"
She can't help but smile.
"Geez Natsu, do you always think about food?"
He goes quiet. The velvet box in his back pocket feels heavier. It's not all I think about a voic einside him says.
"Natsu...?"
"Y'know, I'm in the mood for pizza."
"For breakfast?!"
"Yeah! Let's go!"
He proceeds to drag the annoyed blonde out the door.
She stares at her boyfriend in awe.
"How do you eat so much in ten minutes?"
"What are you talking about, Luce? I only ate a pizza and a half."
Lucy facepalms.
"Are you full yet?"
"Yeah"
Lucy pays for their meal and the couple walks out the door.
They walk to their guild, hand in hand, laughing.
Lucy sits down next to Levy, while Natsu heads over to where Gray is sitting.
Another day flies by at the guild, and before long it's sunset.
Natsu taps her on the shoulder.
"C'mon, let's go, Luce"
"Ok, bye Levy!"
"Bye, Lu~Chan!"
"Natsu, this is the wrong way"
Natsu remains silent. Well, with so mqny thoughts flying through his mind, it's understandable. After all, he doesn't have much experience with thinking.
Lucy feels Natsu grab her hand suddenly.
"Look, up there"
She does as he says.
"Woah, they're beautiful!" she says, also admiring the stars.
He looks at her.
"Luce, I'm not a romantic person. I don't do things other boyfriends would. I'm not good with romantic gestures" He pauses.
By now, he has caught her attention.
"So I'm not gonna get down on one knee, and I'm not gonna give you a speech on how much I love you—I hope you already know that—I'm just gonna ask."
He pulls out the box and opens it to reveal the gem inside.
"Will you marry me?"
Tears are already pouring down her cheeks, but fresh ones form in her eyes.
Did I do something wrong? He thinks.
"Yes, I love you so much, Natsu."
