The warm summer breeze gushed lightly through the city as people walked through the busy streets of magnolia
Both Lucy and Yukino decided to hangout at a nearby cafe after shopping, roaming the city to get familiar with it again.
They were free, for a while and it like a long vacation for to relax doing nothing but enjoy the life before they tire themselves working
"here we are" Yukino said, looking up the from her phone "This is the cafe from the pictures i saved" she shows them to the exhausted blonde who just gave a light glance
"Lets go and sit, my legs hurt from all the walking" Lucy dragged her inside, sitting on a nearby empty table
"Welcome!" a raven haired male staff greeted with a beaming smile unlike the one nights before
The two smiled back and lightly bowed their heads then took the menu from him, Lucy went to a pouting thought over all the names that sound way too delicious
"we'll have this coffee pack 7" Yukino pointed at the name on the card and lucy nodded
"And two slices of chocolate mousse, please" she added handing back the menu to the staff, who bowed and went away
"when does that chocolate obsession stop?"
"It's on the system, babe" Lucy answered and yukino could only nod her head
After several minutes a light tap on her shoulder made her turn back, cooed at the sight of a little girl standing on the chain behind her.
It was tall enough for her to hold on, so with a beaming smile, Lucy brightly greeted while waving her hand"hello baby"
"umm i-i..sn-snowball?"
"yeah?" Luce leaned closer as she doesn't hear her properly, and the little girl instead of repeating pointed her fingers to Lucy's handbag that has a keychain.
Lucy's eyes trailed on where she was pointing and chuckled when she knew what the girl ment
"snowball? you like dragons?"
the kid nodded shyly and Lucy would just bust uwus at how adorable she was, Yukino on the other hand just stared happily on the interaction and controlled herself for not pinching the kid's cheek
The cousins are really fond of babies and since then, they are personally volunteering on charity events and spend time with orphanages back in Edolas
"here, how about i give you this?" Lucy wilingly unhooked the chain from the zipper and handed it to her but the kid pouted
"da-dada scold" she spoke in her broken words, but it was understandable for the blonde
"daddy will scold you? you can tell him that a girl named Lucy gave you this?"
"Lu...c?"
now this is beyond adorable
Lucy nodded happily and put the keychain on the small open palms, "you keep it and play with snowball okay?"
"thank--"
"Sol! Sol, where are youㅡoh no"
"Dada!" the kid screamed and waddled to the guy who's wearing the cafe uniform "dada wook! sowbaaal"
Lucy's smile faded at the sight of the guy; he has a pretty pink hair, eyes which would disappear when he smiled, the honey tan skin and a charming toothy smile with breathtaking visuals.
He was tall, well-built and the way he crouched down to match the baby's height is such a sight to see
She lightly flinched when those black eyes met her, there she realized how long she's staring and it's making her cheeks heat up
"Natsu?"
Yukino's voice made her snap to the younger's direction "you know him?" she asked almost whispering and the said girl just nodded
"Natsu!" she called once again with hands waving up high
the guy who seesm to be natsu according to Yukino effortlessly carried the baby up and walked to their direction with a smile
"Yukino! wow it's been years"
"i should say that...whoa...look at you just the same, except maybe those wrinkles"
Natsu chuckled at the younger's comment and nodded "yeah im getting older and this star is adding up...Sol you know her right?"
"Aunt Yuki"
"that's right and.." his eyes trailed to Lucy and she was about to speak when the baby got ahead of her
"Pretty Lu"
both lucy and yukino chuckled "I'm Lucy Heartfilia, hello Natsu? Sol?"
Sol just giggled and waved the snowball keychain "thanks pretty lu"
"oh no sol, give it back" Natsu internally panicked
"no no please, let her have it...i insist"
"really? but-"
"Natsu it's fine...looks like your daughter deserves it. She's a good girl, right Sol?"
"yes!"
"Foods coming!" Gray's voiced out, holding trays of their orders to place them on their table "Enjoy your stay ladies"
"thankyou!" Lucy and Yukino chorused
"we'll leave you two to eat...nice seeing you again Yuki and...thank you Lucy" Natsu politely said
"not at all...bye bye Sol" Lucy said
"I'm gonna be a regular here, natsu...wait for it" Yukino said making the older laugh
"you should be"
and with one last wave of goodbyes, Lucy and Yukino were left to enjoy delicious food
okay, they met...
