Chapter 5: My Princess

*REALLY LONG A/N AT THE END*

Enjoy!

"Fairy?" was all that could come out of Natsu's mouth, "fairy.. Princess?" Smooth, that was almost a sentence. The princess nodded slowly, sitting upright and looking herself over.

"You didn't hit your head, did you?" She questioned, turning her head towards him, she raked her eyes over him.

She's talking to you, idiot!

"I-uh.. Yeah! No! I didn't hit my head, Princess,"

"Alright, if you'll excuse me," she stood up and proceeded to go up the stairs to the Council building, "I have matters to attend to," she muttered.

"Wait! So do I, I have to go back in there," he all but growled at the thought of going back, but if he had to marry her, well, it wouldn't be so bad.

Lucy rolled her eyes, "I am sure you Dragons have many things to do, but there is a Council meeting going on at the moment, and only the Council can be in this, so that means no…" She trailed off looking at him, "reporters?" She questioned.

Oh, she doesn't even know who I am. Okay.

Natsu's eyebrows raised, "Uhm, I'm not exactly a reporter your Highness, I'd like to say we're equals," he chuckled, "I'm Natsu Dragneel," he followed up with an extended hand.

Lucy looked at it before looking in his eyes suspiciously, before they blew into large orbs, "Oh Mavis, I am so sorry Prince Natsu I had no idea, I'd been in such a rush and-" she rambled as she turned an interesting shade of red. Natsu was all-out laughing by now, blinking away tears.

"Luce, Luce, it's okay- oh you should see your face," he settled into a small chuckle, "Shall we go then?" he questioned, looking up at her brown eyes.

"Yes, we might as well then," she paused, as they both continued up the stairs, "did your father try to ditch you too and not let you come to the meeting, or was it just mine?" she asked sarcastically.

"Actually Jude has told us that you, my dear, were taking forever to get ready, which doesn't seem completely untrue, you are fashionably late," Natsu grinned at her, "but you say he tried to keep you from here? From your 'other half'?" He joked, earning another eyeroll.

"He shouldn't keep me from understanding what is happening in my soon-to-be kingdom," she huffed, "and who's my other half?" she said, oblivious.

Jude didn't tell her?

"Um, haha, well I mean- you can never actually know where your soulmate is, like if you believe in that stuff," he laughed awkwardly and rubbed his neck.

Once they got into the building, Natsu led the way into the lobby, where they would wait until the 'grown ups' finish their strategy talk. They were too late to get in, the doors were locked and they didn't want to make a scene. Well, more like Lucy didn't want to make a scene, she had to drag Natsu away from the door before he began banging on it.

"Shut up!" she half-whispered, "we don't want to get in trouble, let's just wait out here where all the food is," she chuckled as Natsu's face lit up.

"Oh, yes, good idea," his eyes glazed over while he walked over to the food table on autopilot, filling his plate with literally anything and everything. Once happy with their full plate, they chose a table to sit at and talked about nothingness.

"So you're tellin' me," Natsu said, "that you don't believe in Bigfoot?" his tone held nothign but astonishment and disbelief.

"That's what I'm telling you!" she said through her laughs, "I believe in the Yeti, which is-"

"Basically just a snow-y Bigfoot!" Natsu interjected.

"No, it's very different actually because-" she was cut off again by the swarm of old men walking out of the council room and towards the food tables and exits. Lucy looked at Natsu, "Should we maybe go get our parents?"

Natsu huffed and crossed his arms, annoyed that their time had been cut short, "Yeah, I guess, but next time I will totally decimate your argument," he said, grinning.

Lucy smiled at him, "Yes, maybe next time."

As they were about to get up, a shadow stood over their plates, "Hello, son, I see you've met your fiancee!"

Alright, so I'm trying this whole fanfiction thing again, I think I can definitely keep pumping out, like, a chapter a week, but I've been procrastinating this chapter by making, not only a flashback last week, but also TWO oneshots (which both came out horribly), and I'm sorry! I also took down one of my old stories becaaaause I have no idea what's happening in it :D I'm going to try to fix that up as well as keep at this story, hopefully I can put an ending to Sharing the Skies by the end of April, maybe May, but yeahh so wish me luck! (future chapters SHOULD be longer, and will take more than just an hour on Saturday to write, sorry about the horrible quality, and if you've kept reading through this A/N, I applaud you.

TL/DR: Hope you enjoyed! There will be one chapter a week, and I have two crappy oneshots.
