Intro: Every day people are chosen to get a mark on their skin. One with the same mark are soulmates. What will happen if 2 of Fairy Tail's mages get their marks, and they're identical?
(A/N: This story was requested by…Lucy H Lover! Thanks for requesting this!)
Natsu's POV:
I stood in the guild with a smirk on my face as I continued to fight Gray. So far I was winning, and I was not planning on backing down any time soon! Me, Luce, and Happy had just come back from a mission. Lucy was chilling at the bar talking to Levy about her book and I think Happy was trying to get Charle to accept his fish. I was heading towards the bar to get some food when I ran into Gray and we started our all too familiar fighting.
I landed another hit on Gray before Juvia came over and took him away to ice his head. I grinned as I walked away from the couple and started to head towards the bar. A few months ago, the couple had a mark on them appear that was identical, meaning they are soulmates. Ever since then, it's hard to find one without the other there. And Juvia always takes Gray away before he can get too hurt, and Gray always takes Juvia away before she can talk too much about what goes on during their dates. Something about him being too shy, and he doesn't want others to know he's romantic?
I got to the bar and Mira came over to me asking what I wanted to eat. "Gim'me everything!" I said with a wide grin. Mira nodded and walked away. Lucy was still talking to Levy so I just went and sat at a table by myself, knowing she would come over when she was done. I started to feel a small sting on my left wrist, and I looked down but saw nothing. Must have been my imagination. I heard Lucy let out a yelp and looked up to see what was wrong. She was holding her wrist in her hand. I could hear Levy telling her something about possibly getting her mark, but I just ignored it since Mira placed my food in front of me by then.
As I dug in I kept feeling the pain in my wrist, but I ignored it. I've felt worse, so it doesn't matter. After I finished eating I stood up to find another fight. Noticing Elfman in the middle of the guild I started to head over to him. About 5 minutes into the fight, some others had joined us. Gray wound up getting a hold of my arms and was ready to land a hit on me before he stopped, looking at my wrist. "What, too scared to hit me?" I challenged him. Gray smirked and held my arm higher. "Flame brain got himself his soulmate mark!" he yelled. The fighting was so loud, no one heard but the few who were fighting. I looked at Gray in shock. I pulled my wrist away and looked at it. Yep, there was a mark alright. A key in the color red, with a black heart outline around it.
Staring at it, I walked away back towards the table that I was sitting at earlier. The boys of course following me and taunting me the entire time. "Flame brain finally decided to open his heart, huh?" Gray asked as he sat beside me smirking. "Now you have'to go find your soulmate, pyro." Gajeel said snacking on some iron. As they continued to joke around I stared at my wrist in disbelief. For 21 years I've known about the "soulmate mark" but I never thought I would get one. I'm not one to care about love or romance. I want to be able to choose my own love.
As they continued to taunt me, I heard many girls at the bar squeal as they stood around Lucy. All the boys quieted down after hearing the loud shrieks of excitement from the female guild members. Listening closely, I could hear them talking loudly about Lucy and her wrist. Confused, I stood up and started to walk over to them, the guys behind me as we headed over there. "Hey, what's all the commotion?" I asked as I stood behind Cana. She turned around and smiled up to me, "Lucy here, just received her soulmate mark." she said as she turned back around to face Lucy. I could hear the girls joking with Lucy, similar to what the guys did. "Now she has to find her man and bring him here!" "Lucy finally can go get her man!" "Lu, now we can go on double dates while you show off your soulmate!"
Hearing the comments got me sort of upset, which surprised me. Suddenly Elfman spoke up, "Wait, when did she get her mark?" he asked. Mira was the one to respond, "A few minutes ago I believe." All the guys smirked from behind me. "Oh, really? That's funny." Gray said looking at me. Juvia gave him a curious look. "How so Gray~sama?" Gajeel was the one to respond this time, "Becuz' flame brain here just received his mark as well." All the girls gasped loudly and started to question what it was. Before I had a chance to respond, Erza pulled me over towards Lucy and flipped my wrist over. Looking down, I stared in shock at seeing an identical mark on Lucy's right wrist.
Lucy looked up at me and we both stared at each other, mouths wide open in shock. The rest of the day the entire guild teased them. "Y'all should go on a date now!" "Nalu was always canon, this just proves it!" "Blondie and pyro always were close, makes me wonder if they were in love before this." Among many other comments, sweet and innocent and then devil type comments that is.
As soon as they got a break, Natsu dragged Lucy out of the guild. He had things to talk to her about, and the guild was breaking his mind apart. He can only handle so much information at once, he needs process time. Getting far away from the guild, he stopped and looked at Lucy. Before he could even open his mouth, Lucy spoke. "We need to talk." All he could do was nod. There was a huge lump in his throat. He knew what he wanted to say, but would she be okay with it?
Noticing he took them to a park in Magnolia, they sat down on a bench to talk. Noticing they should get down to it since they both seem tense, Natsu spoke first. "Luce, I have to be honest with you. I like you. I didn't really realize it until a little while ago, but I do. Now knowing we are soulmates, helps me talk to you about this. I've liked you for a long time, and I know we'll be together forever, but will you please be my girlfriend?" Lucy looked up at him in shock, not expecting this. Instead of giving a short answer, Lucy made her own comment about it. "Natu, I like you too. I always was afraid to admit it, since I had no clue if we were soulmates or not. Now I know I can tell you it without being afraid, seeing as we will have each other for our entire lives. So yes, I will be your girlfriend." At the end she gave off a very bright smile.
After a short kiss, they stood up to head back to the guild. Hand in hand, they walked back smiling and leaning against each other. If you look close enough, you will see the soulmate marks glowing.
(A/N: Not too sure if I'm proud of this project. I like where it was going at first, but I think I lost the touch near the end. But that's for y'all to decide! Anyways, make sure to send more requests in the reviews! I'll be writing some of my own, but requests always help!)
