Requested by someone on here!
"Natsu, I'm still cold!" Lucy whined as they walked through the snow, already wrapped in the blanket he'd brought along and wearing his scarf around her neck.
They hadn't known they'd be traveling through snow, but upon speaking to their employer and learning more about the job, it became apparent they'd need to travel through here, and the flurry was unavoidable.
He'd had half a mind to make Lucy go home when they found out they'd be going through snow. A little more than a week ago, they'd discovered she was pregnant, and his hyper-protective side wanted her away from any and all potential danger, even more so than usual now that her body was taking care of their new baby.
"I dunno what else I can do right now, Luce!" He replied. "You already have all the extra layers!" Natsu looked to his wife and watched her shiver furiously. He groaned, frustrated that he couldn't think of anything else to do to help her. She'd already used Horologium's time up, too.
Lucy sneezed next to him.
"Crap, Luce, you really are getting too cold, aren't you?" He paused and wrapped Lucy in his arms, trying to let his unnaturally high body heat warm her up.
"Oh, that feels nice…" she mumbled.
"We can't stop here, though, Luce. We've gotta keep moving." Lucy whined again, and Natsu sighed. "Here." He took his jacket off and wrapped it around her, and then kneeled down in front of her, showing his now-bare back. "Climb on."
"Natsu, I can't make you do that!"
He shot a smile back to her. "And I can't let you get sick." She still hesitated, and Natsu sighed again. "Come on, Luce. I'm protecting both you and the baby by doing this. Let me."
Lucy nodded and smiled a bit at his mention of their baby. "Okay. Yeah," she replied simply before climbing on his back and letting him carry her. She nuzzled against his warm skin, letting the heat wash over her. "You're so warm, Natsu… An amazing husband…"
"Yeah, yeah," he smiled, wobbling for a second and then starting to walk again.
"You're a great father, too," she told him.
Natsu grinned at the compliment. "Really, you think so?"
She nodded. "The very best. Our baby is lucky to have you."
