Summary: A Hoarding Lucy version of episode 201. Natsu is unhappy that Lucy is wearing a wedding dress for someone else.

Pairings: Natsu/Lucy, one-sided Mole/Lucy, and lots of friendship feels.

Author's Note: For Dark Shining Light who wanted a Hoarding Lucy scene of episode 201.

Natsu was rather pissed off.

And that was putting it mildly. He was really, really, pissed off to the point his hands were lit up with flames, his skin burned furiously, and he could feel smoke streaming out of his ears. There before him stood Lucy in a wedding dress.

Any other time he would be thrilled to see her in a wedding dress. Ever since she agreed to renew their vows he had been dying to see her in a proper white dress with a veil, as they stood in a church in front of everyone they love, and promise once again to be each other's forever…

The first time he sees her in a wedding dress should not be when he was about to sacrifice her to a fucking giant mole!

(Not that he wanted to but Erza was too manly and Wendy was still a child, and also Erza said if he didn't then she would give him the worst beating ever. Meep!)

Lucy had disappeared for a shower so she could primp herself up for the Mole (Natsu scowled wondering why she would even bother doing such a thing since she was so going to get muddy again) and within an hour she came out, dressed in a pretty white ball gown, her shoulders for the world to see, and a light, airy, veil that made her look even more like a princess than normal.

Natsu is not ashamed to admit that his mouth dropped open at the sight of her.

But that doesn't stop him from punching Gray's big fat gob when he tells everyone else later.

And then Lucy was suddenly put on a rowing boat to be given to a fucking Mole of all things! Natsu's bride, his wife, to some giant creepy monster guy!

He didn't know what pissed him off more, the fact that his wife was being sacrificed, or the fact the first time he sees her in a wedding dress it was for someone else.

(When they got married she wore her nice red dress that really showed off her legs but she's worn prettier dresses since then and call him a girl (like Gray, Gajeel, and Laxus will) but he wanted a proper wedding where everyone stood up as he entered the room and walked down the aisle….oh wait, that was the bride, wasn't it? Damn!)

So anyway, point is…..it surprised absolutely no one when he lost it.

"THAT'S IT!" he roared furiously. "I'M NOT LETTING THAT FREAK HAVE MY WIFE!" He then punched the Mole really, really, really, hard which almost sent the thing flying….only it just landed like a foot away from them. The thing glowered menacingly at Natsu. Natsu glared back. "Hands off," he spat out.

"I'm really sorry Mr Mole," Lucy said sweetly, far too sweetly, oh God! She wasn't having feelings for this weirdo thing, was she? ("…You need therapy," Happy said finally when Natsu voiced these concerns to him later). She wasn't going to leave Natsu to live in the mud with a Mole of all things?! "But I cannot marry you," Natsu sighed in relief when he heard that. "For starters I'm not even the right species for you. As a human and you a mole, it simply cannot be. Surely you know that," Lucy implored the creature gently. Natsu could see the Mole looking down sadly at that and almost felt sorry for it. Almost. "But more importantly, and I cannot stress this enough on how important it is," this was when, much to Natsu's smugness, she wrapped an arm round him and rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm already married." She then held up her hand to show his wedding ring on her finger.

"Yeah!" Natsu barked excitedly. "You hear that you Mole-y bastard, she's mine!"

Whatever gentleness Lucy had brought out in the monster disappeared instantaneously as the Mole scowled and began to attempt to eat Natsu and the others.

"You just had to open your big fat gob!" Gray screamed. "Way to go Natsu!"

"Oh shut up, you snow fairy!"

Fortunately Virgo appeared in time with a new girlfriend for the giant mole before it destroyed the entire village and they were able to claim the full reward money.

(And Lucy was firmly told that she can no longer wear wedding dresses for anyone else but him. She had blinked stupidly at him before she then smiled and agreed with him, thank God!)
