AN:
Hello once again! Hope you like this chapter.
It had passed almost a week since Mira proposed the secret fairy game and Natsu was at his home, sitting with Happy, without a present yet. But he had a quite good reason for that: He had no idea what girls liked to receive and the person in his card was a very feminine one: Evergreen.
His first idea was to give her lots of food, but soon he figured that perhaps Evergreen would not appreciate it. Desperate for some ideas, Natsu even asked Happy what he would give to his secret friend, but the blue exceed answer was as useful as his previous idea. He really needed some help, so, he decided to do something that in other circunstances would never cross his mind. He decided to ask Lucy for help.
"You know, you shouldn't go out and tell people whose name you got" - The blue cat warned him when Natsu was ready to leave home.
"I'm not gonna tell her! I'm just going to ask for some advice. Like what stuff do girls like to receive" – He explained, trying to convince Happy that that was the best plan.
"Ok. But I'm not going with you. I heard Charle and Wendy are going to the market today, so maybe this time Charle will accept my fish!" - Happy exclaimed in a super excited tone. With that, the pink-haired man closed the door behind him and started to walk through Magnolia, towards Lucy's home. When he arrived at the building, as usual, the window was open, so he saved himself a lot of work on the stairs and entered through it.
"Hi, Lucy!" - He greeted the blonde woman that almost fell from the chair with the scare.
"Natsu! What I said about using the door?" - She asked trying to sound mad at him. - "Now I forgot what I was going to write next!" - She continued to complain.
"Sorry, but I have to ask you something really important!"
"Ok. What is it? You already interrupted me."
"I'm having some problems with that Christmas game and I don't know what girls like, so.. what would you like to receive?" – He asked casually.
"Me?!" - The celestial mage asked shocked
"You're a girl, right? Please, I really need your help!" - The dragon slayer begged his friend.
"I...I really don't know. It depends on the girl!" - Lucy stuttered. Well... Evergreen was really girly, and so was Lucy, so, Natsu thought they would like the same kind of things.
"This is too much complicated! What would you like?"
"If you insist, I would like to receive something symbolic... Like a kiss under the mistletoe!" – Lucy answered a little embarrassed and her cheeks a light tone of pink. Natsu wasn't really thinking about kissing Evergreen, so he asked for another idea. Why had she suggested that? And why was she blushing?
"Uh.. yeah... I'm not going to do that. Anything else?" - When Natsu asked that, Lucy looked at him, clearly disappointed.
"Ok... Then... I don't really know! Besides, It's supposed to be a secret! You should pick a present by yourself, and not ask for help!" – Lucy was starting to act strange.
" But I wanted to give a good present, you're the best person to ask!"
"Why?" - Lucy asked in a more serious tone
"I already said it! You're a girl" - He asked oblivious of the reason behind his friend reaction.
"There are lots of other girls. What I wanted to know is why me?" – Lucy asked, getting shy once again.
"I can't tell you, Lucy. It's supposed to be a secret. If I tell you, the secret would be ruined."
"Ohhh" - Was the only sound the blond girl made. And why was she blushing again?! What had Natsu done?!
"I that case, I would like some accessory, like a bracelet, or earrings!" She said finally, with a smile on her face.
"Arigatou Lucy!" - Natsu thanked and left through the window again
"What a strange conversation. Lucy was really acting strange!" He thought for himself. But thanks to that, he now knew what girls liked to receive, the only thing left was buying the present.
