Kanji's POV

Lucy dragged us off to a fort in the middle of nowhere to take down some bandits. These guys were mostly chumps that could barely fight. They probable scared off the town by just having such large numbers. Once we got there Erza and I cleared out the upstairs and left the lower level to the others.

"Arcing Bolt!" the energy bounced around the room and finished off those who were still standing. "That's the last of them."

We headed back down stairs to meet up with the others and Erza took care of a straggler with the heel of her boot.

"Please don't touch him like that." I told her "I think he likes it."

We headed out to go and tell the people that the bandits were taken care of. On our way back Erza suggested we stay in town tonight since it was getting late and we had already paid for the hotel. When we were in town we ran across Loke but he was quick to cut and run saying he had work to do.

We got back to the hotel and Erza and Lucy went to the hot spring for ladies while I got stuck with Gray and Natsu in the men's bath.

"Natsu will you sit still and stop splashing!" I yelled trying not to lose my patience.

If you've ever tried to sit in the same pool as Natsu and Gray you may as well just accept the fact you won't be relaxing. Gray always wants it colder and Natsu always tries to heat it up so you end up with a bath the changes temperature every five seconds.

"Screw this." I mumbled getting out of the water.

"What gonna go see if your girlfriend is out of the water?" Gray teased.

"Better than sitting in here with you two morons."

"Why do you always spend time with Erza she's so mean." Natsu told me.

"When you find that special someone, you'll understand Natsu."

We finished up in the bath and headed back to our room. Gray was quick to pack it in and try and get to sleep. Natsu wanted to have a pillow fight.

"Pillow fights are a mandatory if you're staying at a hotel."

"Who told you that?" I asked.

The door opened and Erza and Lucy walked in.

"I have equipped myself with only superior pillows." Erza told them

Superior pillows?

Natsu then proceeded to start a pillow fight. Gray got hit in the Face and I'm pretty sure Lucy got sent flying through a wall.

After a while the fighting stopped. Erza and I decided to go out for a walk and see if we could find Lucy and happy around town since they weren't in the room anymore.

"It's nice out tonight." Erza said.

"Yeah it's beautiful…just like you." I said with a smile.

"How long have you been planning on using that one?"

"Just thought of it now why? Did it feel that tacky?"

"No it was sweet." She said leaning on my arm.

"I like you're outfit you should wear things like that more often."

"I prefer my armor but thank you."

"What's with you always wanting to wear that armor?" I asked her.

"I like it, it makes me feel safe."

"I'll be there to protect you, you don't need any armor."

She blushed and turned away "I can protect myself, but thank you."

We wandered round town for a little more passing by some shops but nothing caught Erza's eye. Something caught mine but I wasn't going in there with Erza in tow, so we headed back to the hotel. When we got there Lucy and Happy had returned from their little excursion and we all went to bed.

LATER

I woke up early the next morning and headed out to the shop I saw the night before. I needed to get there and back before the other realized I was gone. I made my way through town to the Jewelry store we had passed the night before. We we're going to head back to town as soon as everyone woke up so I was going to have to be quick with my purchase.

Not that buying an engagement ring is an impulse buy.

I walked around the store and peered into the display cases. An attendant came over to help me and pointed at a few rings that I might like.

"Is this for someone special?" she asked,

"Yeah it's for my girlfriend." I told her.

"Ahh. I see. If you don't mind me asking is this and engagement ring?"

"Yeah but I'm not sure when I'm gonna ask her. I might buy it now but wait a few weeks."

One ring caught my eye. It was simple, gold with a few diamonds on it.

"How much for that one?" I asked.

"45,000"

DAMN! Well it's for Erza and I know she'd love it regardless of how much I spent on it. I've been saving up for a while so I can afford it.

"I'll take it." I told the woman.

The woman but the ring into a box and I paid for it. I thanked her and headed back to the hotel hoping no one else was awake.

Now for the hard part, I have to ask her.

I crept back into the room and no one seemed to be awake.

"Where were you?" I heard Erza ask.

CRAP!

"Uhh…out for a morning jog."

Please believe me.

"Oh, okay you should have just told me you were going out."

Bullet dodged. Phew.

"Hey when we get back to Magnolia let's go out for dinner." I told her

"Sounds great."

The others woke not too long after that and we packed our things and headed back to town.

LATER

I spent most of the next day trying to psych myself up to propose to Erza. I was going to take her out for dinner, then to a bakery and the ask her. Unfortunately, before we could begin our date Gray came and told us Loke had quit Fairy Tail.

That's not like him at all. Actually he's been acting weird for a while now.

So as a result of Loke disappearing Erza and I were forced to cancel our date and the most important question of my life, to help look for the jerk. We ran around town looking for the guy most of the night before Lucy finally found him. She told us that the Loke we knew was really a celestial spirit 'Leo the Lion'. The ass wanted to kill himself but Lucy managed to convince him and the Spirit King to forgive Loke's mistake and let him live. So now he works under Lucy.

Able to call the Spirit King. There's something special about you Lucy.

As thanks for our years of friendship and acceptance Loke gave us tickets to a sea resort.

A resort this is the perfect place to ask Erza to marry me, she loves the beach.

We packed our things and headed to a beach resort, a place that I knew would change our lives forever.
