Title: Valentines Day Date
Summary: It was Natsu's turn to plan out her and her girlfriend's annual valentines day date and plans it around special points in their relationship.
Lucy smiled back at her reflection in her mirror as she finished getting dressed for her day ahead. Since it was valentines day, she was able to get off from her job at Sorcerers weekly magazine. It made her extremely happy her boss was willing to let her off work, though she guessed having some of the most popular articles in the magazine did help with that.
Walking out of the bathroom, Lucy quickly grabbed her blue ribbon and tied her hair into a ponytail. Since today was special, the 23 year old decided to wear her hair differently in hopes of seeing her girlfriend's reaction since she didn't normally wear her hair like that or wear what she was now.
Looking at the time and noticing that it was getting close to meeting her girlfriend at her apartment, Lucy grabbed her keys as she headed for the door and grabbed her Jacket she got from her girlfriend for her last birthday.
Once she locked her door, she zipped up her jacket and headed down the stairs towards the first floor. As she walked through the stairwell from her apartment on the third floor, she stopped when she heard a voice call out her name. "Hey, Lucy. Going on a date today?" One of her neighbors asked.
Turning around, she smiled as she saw Mattan walking towards the stairwell. "Yeah. Don't know exactly much of what we're doing though." Lucy spoke towards the hyper woman. Lucy didn't talk with the pink haired woman much, though she did know the woman was reliable with making sure no one broke into her apartment.
"Have fun. I still have to work all day. You're lucky your boss is so willing to give you the day off." Mattan sighed as they got to the first floor and headed outside to their respective cars. Lucy waved to the pinkette as she started her car to leave.
Once it had warmed up, Lucy started driving towards her girlfriend's apartment. Lucy hoped that since it was valentines day, the traffic wouldn't be so bad at 8 in the morning. Sadly the blonde wasn't so lucky.
As she was stuck in traffic not even halfway to her girlfriend's house, she sighed as she checked her phone to see that she had gotten a message from her girlfriend, earning her to have a light smile on her face as she read it.
Natsu: Hey beautiful, I'm getting ready to take a shower. When ya get here just unlock the door and come in.
"Well, at least with how traffic is, I'll get there once she's out of the shower." Lucy mumbled to herself as she rolled her eyes. Even though Magnolia didn't have as bad of traffic as Crocus, it still could be quite bad. "Remember Lucy, this is going to be a good day." Lucy reminded herself as she got ready for the long drive.
Natsu groaned as she felt something wet and rough against her cheek. The feeling caused the girl to roll over and cover her head with her blanket. She definitely didn't want to get up yet, especially since her alarm clock didn't go off.
After a few seconds, she felt happy kneed her back through her blanket, earning an annoyed growl from the girl. "Fine, I'll get up." Natsu groaned a second before her phone went off. Sighing, Natsu moved her cat off her back before sitting up in bed and grabbing her phone.
As she lit up her phone she smiled at the picture on her phone. It was a picture that was taken a few weeks ago when Lucy spent the night at Natsu's apartment. When the two had woken up, Lucy had decided to take a selfie. Lucy was behind Natsu, who was resting her head on the blonde's shoulder. The two had messy hair since they had just woken up and in front of Natsu's chest, their hands intertwined.
Unlocking her phone, Natsu got out of bed and turned off her alarm as she went to her dresser to pick out some clothes for her to wear for the day. Once she found what she was going to wear, she immediately sent her girlfriend a text to let her know what she was doing and to just come in when she got there. She didn't give Lucy her apartment key for no reason after all.
Setting her phone back on her nightstand, Natsu smiled as she walked to her bathroom, stripping down as she walked before turning her shower to the right temperature before hopping under the water, sighing as she felt the water travel down her body.
As she started washing her body, she let her mind wander to her relationship with Lucy. The two had met when Natsu and her family had moved to Magnolia the summer before kindergarten. The two girls had met once her family had finished packing since Natsu's parents and Lucy's mother were friends in high school.
The two had instantly hit it off and their friendship grew as they got older. Their friend ship slowly changed from best friends to having feelings for each other and then deciding to Date. The two had never dated before and since they were both girls, they decided to date in secret since they knew their friends would want to know to much about their relationship and decided that once they were able to go on a date, then they'd tell their friends. That first date was six years ago.
Natsu smiled at the thoughts as she finished washing her hair before walking out of the shower and turned the water off before wrapping a towel around her slender frame and took a second towel to dry her hair.
Once she deemed her hair dry enough, Natsu tossed the towel into the bathroom from her bed before grabbing her hairbrush and started brushing the long locks of pink hair. Because her hair was so long, it took nearly fifteen minutes to brush it and take all the knots out of it.
Once she got done with her hair, she put her brush back down before walking over to her dresser and dropping her towel. As the towel fell to her feet, Natsu smirked at her reflection before getting dressed.
Since it was Valentines day, Natsu decided to wear clothes that weren't overly nice but weren't something she would spend the day home in. She had also decided to wear clothes that she thought Lucy would like.
Knowing that Lucy was bound to be at her apartment anytime now, she quickly put on her clothes before looking herself over in her mirror. She was wearing a red, low-cut tank top that showed off a good amount of the top of her breasts and some of her cleavage along with a small amount of her bra. She also wore black, form fitting jeans that hugged her lower half perfectly.
Once she was done admiring her body, she walked over to her nightstand and started searching the small mess in search of her hair ribbon that had a flame pin with it. She stopped searching when she heard the door open and Lucy talking to her cat.
Natsu held a light smile as she searched for the ribbon as she heard Lucy walking closer to the bedroom. Once Lucy's footsteps reached the doorway, they stopped for a good few minutes, allowing Natsu to find her ribbon and tie her hair with before putting her flame pin in her hair.
Once Natsu was done tying her hair, she headed towards her desk where her jewelry box was but stopped when she felt two arms wrap around her middle as she felt a chin rest on the top of her head. Even if Natsu hadn't heard Lucy talking, she would've known it was Lucy.
There was something about being in an embrace with her girlfriend that made her feel happy. There was always something about the blonde that always seemed to keep the pinkette in a good mood just with her being there. She was one of the few people who were willing to deal with her fiery attitude on a near daily basis.
Even though Lucy would get annoyed by her, the blonde would never stay mad at her. Sure, they had their fights, but they couldn't stay mad at each other for very long. It was like they always were being pulled back to the other.
Natsu let a happy sigh escape her lips. Her plans for the day didn't start for a little bit and she couldn't complain if they stayed like this for a while, especially when Lucy turned her around and pulled her into a a hug.
It took nearly an hour of Lucy stuck in traffic for the blonde to reach her girlfriend's apartment building and find a parking spot. Lucy let out an annoyed huff as she stepped out of her car and locked it. She could've been to Natsu's apartment in fifteen minutes, twenty at most if the traffic wasn't so bad.
Shaking her head and sighing, Lucy took a deep breath before heading into the apartment complex and up to the fourth floor to where Natsu's apartment was. Natsu had gotten the apartment a few weeks after she turned twenty.
Natsu had told the blonde that she wanted to wait to move out of her parent's place until the two of them decided to get a place together, though that changed when Natsu and Lucy were interrupted when they were fooling around in her bedroom.
It instantly killed the mood and Natsu had then decided she was going to find a place that she could afford. The two didn't want to get a place together just yet, especially when Lucy had just moved into her own apartment and she couldn't move out for a few years or she would have to pay a portion of the rest of the time she would've been there for.
Lucy shook her head of those thoughts as she reached her girlfriend's apartment. As she tried opening it, she realized it was locked. Rolling her eyes, she took out the spare key from her pocket and unlocked it before walking in and picking up Happy as he ran up to the blonde.
"Hey, Happy. Is Natsu still in the bedroom?" Lucy questioned as the door closed behind the blonde. When Happy meowed at the blonde, she giggled as she headed towards the bedroom. "We'll probably need to feed you too." Lucy mused with a smile on her face as she walked down the hall to the bedroom.
Once she got to the doorway, she stopped to take in what her girlfriend was wearing. She was wearing a pair of jeans that hugged her lower half perfectly, especially her butt. Lucy also noticed that she was wearing one of her low cut tank tops. Lucy had a feeling that Natsu was wearing what she was because she knew Lucy would like them.
Once Lucy saw Natsu head for her desk, Lucy quickly walked over to her and wrapped her arms around Natsu's stomach and rested her chin on her head. They stayed like that for a good few minutes before Lucy spun her girlfriend around to give her a normal hug.
AS she hugged her girlfriend, she was able to see a small amount of pink lace peaking out of her tank top, which she knew was part of her bra as she could look down and see more of her bra. After a few minutes, Lucy smirked as her hands slowly moved from her lower back to her butt before squeezing it, earning a cute squeak from the girl as she tried to move from the blonde.
Once Natsu moved from Lucy's embrace, the pinkette rolled her eyes at her girlfriend. "Way to ruin the moment." Natsu remarked as she took two of her earrings out of her jewelry box and put them in her ears. Lucy smiled as the pinkette turned to her, causing her dangly flame earrings to sway with the movements.
"You know you like when I do that." Lucy smirked as she leaned in to place a kiss to her girlfriend's lips. "Happy valentines day." Lucy smiled as she placed her hands on her girlfriend's full hips. Lucy was extremely glad she wasn't judged by her father for her decision anymore. Being with Natsu made her happier than anything else.
"Happy valentines day. I got ya a gift, but it won't be until dinner." Natsu spoke up as she walked out of the bedroom with Lucy following behind. After walking out of the hallway, Lucy walked over to the couch to sit down while the pinkette walked over to the pantry to pull out Happy's food.
"So, are there any plans for breakfast?" Lucy asked as the pinkette filled the cat's food dish. Once she finished filling the dish, the cat immediately went over and ate his food.
Instead of answering her girlfriend's question, Natsu put Happy's food back before walking over to her girlfriend and sat on the blonde's lap, allowing her to actually get a good look at what she was wearing. Other than her unzipped jacket, the blonde was wearing a pair of jeans and a low cut blue t-shirt.
"You look nice." Natsu spoke with a smile on her face as Lucy wrapped her arms around the pinkette. "But, yes, I was planning on going to 8 Island for breakfast to start our day. I hope you don't mind walking around today?"
"Not at all. It's your plans today." Lucy smiled at her girlfriend as the couple stayed in comfortable silence, simply enjoying each others company for the next few minutes. "Think we should head out now?" Lucy questioned as Happy hopped up onto the back of the couch and decided to take a nap.
"Yeah. I just need to put my stuff on." Natsu smiled as she walked over to the door and slid on her knee high black boots and put on her black jacket that had flames down the sleeves with a picture of a red dragon on the back. Once she zipped up her jacket, she wrapped her white scarf around her neck and picked up her black and red purse and putting over her shoulder.
Lucy smiled as she got up and walked over to her girlfriend and quickly looked her over. The scarf she was wearing was one Igneel had given the girl on her sixth birthday and had an almost scaly texture to it. It was rare that Natsu didn't wear the scarf when she headed out unless it was too warm to wear it.
The jacket hugged Natsu's torso perfectly and was made out of leather. It was a birthday gift Lucy had gotten her when Lucy had visited her parents in crocus a few years back and had gone to a Heart Kreuz with her mother. "You look really nice wearing your jacket." Lucy smiled, watching as Natsu was making sure that her jeans were inside her boots correctly.
"Thanks. Shall we get going?" Natsu smiled as Lucy took Natsu's hand in her own as the two made their way out of the apartment and Natsu locking it behind her before putting her keys back in her purse.
"I'm guessing you're paying for everything today?" Lucy suggested as they headed down the stairs of Natsu's apartment complex. Natsu nodded as she rolled her eyes at the blonde. Lucy knew that she didn't need to ask. Ever since they started dating, the two would alternate who would make the plans for the day. It made it easier since otherwise they knew that they both would want to make the plans. That also included paying for everything.
"Duh." Natsu remarked as they got outside just in time for a slightly chilly breeze to blow by them. "The only thing that I didn't plan was dinner. We're going to my parents for that." Natsu smiled, amusement in her face as they walked by a cafe and noticed a few old couples whisper about them as they walked by.
At first it was hard to ignore that whispers and looks they got as they walked through town, but overtime it became easy to ignore and at times, amusing to see people's reactions, especially when it was people who thought that two girls shouldn't date.
"Are Wendy and Romeo going to be there? I saw Mavis the other day and she said something about them not being able to make it." Lucy explained with a curious look crossing her features. On valentines day, the Dragneels had always made a tradition of the family gathering and bringing their boyfriend or girlfriend if they weren't married to them yet.
"Yeah. Romeo's car broke down while they were in crocus for the weekend there. Macao said he was going to try and go get them, but he wasn't sure if he could." Natsu explained as they got to 8 Island. As they walked in, Lucy stood in awe at the place. She was at the place just yesterday for lunch with levy and it was completely different.
The place was normally an admittedly plain looking restaurant, but was now decked out for the holiday. Before Lucy could really look at the place, a waitress came over to the couple. Instead of wearing the standard uniform, which was normally orange and white, the one they were wearing was instead pink and white with deep red stockings and a matching bow in their hair.
"I'm assuming you're Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia?" The waitress asked with a smile. When Natsu told the woman that it was correct, the woman walked them to their table, allowing Lucy to get a look at the place.
The tables had white and pink tablecloths with the chairs being pink and red with white legs on them. The booths fabric was also changed to being white and pink with the tables having red and white tablecloths on them. The lights above the booths were changed so that the light bulbs in the chandeliers were hearts, and hanging from the ceiling was pink string which was running through pink, red and white colors hearts.
The place was definitely changed for the holiday.
Once they were seated, the woman smiled as they were handed valentines day specific menus and walked off to wait on another table. "How did you know about them doing this?" Lucy questioned as they looked over the breakfast menu.
"Gramps told me when he heard Mira and me talking about today cuz I was having trouble figuring out what to do." Natsu smiled at her girlfriend before turning to the menu. "They also decided to make today reservations only." Lucy nodded, quickly finding what she wanted to eat.
It was a few minutes before the waitress returned and asked what they wanted to eat. Once they ordered, the woman smiled before turning and leaving, letting the two know that she would return with their meal soon.
"So, what are our plans after this?" Lucy questioned her girlfriend with a light smile on her face. She knew that Natsu would probably choose to do something that they would both enjoy.
"Well, I thought we could go see a movie. They're actually showing the same movie we watched on our first date today." Natsu explained, smiling as her blonde's eyes lit up. Natsu knew that Lucy loved that movie, plus it was good for her plans.
"Now that you mention it, our first date was on valentines day our senior year, wasn't it?" Lucy mused. Natsu nodded putting one of her hands in her pocket. She had something planned that she hopped Lucy would be happy with. It would just take some time.
The couple continued to talk about their relationship for the next few minutes until Natsu saw the waitress heading towards them with their food. Once she set down their food, the waitress smiled. "Let me know if you need anything else." She smiled as she left the two to their meal.
"Wow, it really smells good, even if it's just pancakes." Lucy remarked while Natsu looked over their meal. They had both ordered Strawberry pancakes, which since it was valentines day, was in the shape of a heart. It also had whipped cream on the top with another strawberry. For their drinks, they had both ordered hot chocolate with whipped cream.
Once they both put syrup on their pancakes, they sighed in delight as they both took a bite of their food. "They did a really good job." Natsu spoke after swallowing the big bite she took. "I can see why Erza like their strawberry pancakes."
"Definitely." Lucy smiled before looking at her watch. "Once we get out of watching the movie, we need to stop at a store so I can grab your gift." Lucy spoke, causing Natsu to raise a brink brow curiously. "What I got wasn't at the store last time I went there, but they said it would be there today."
"Okay." Natsu rose a curious brow, unsure why Lucy was keeping it vague about the reasoning. She sounded like she didn't want to tell her what store they were going to after watching the movie. "We should finish up soon then. I want to get good seats." Natsu explained as the two continued to eat and making small conversations.
"I keep on forgetting to pick up that movie." Lucy sighed as her and Natsu walked out of Magnolia's movie theater near 12pm. They had finished eating their breakfast and once Natsu paid, they had headed to the theater.
Nearly two hours later, the two walked out with everyone else who went to watch the movie. "Yeah. But now we have have to go to a store, right?" Natsu asked, Lucy placing a hand on her girlfriend's lower back as they started walking.
"Yup. What are we doing for lunch?" Lucy asked while they walked through the city towards the small store that Natsu's gift was waiting at.
"I was thinking of going to Fairy Tail. Mira promised that if we stopped by, we'd eat free." Natsu explained, hoping that Lucy would be fine with eating at the same place that Natsu worked at part time.
"Sure." Lucy nodded as she moved her arm to wrap around Natsu to pull her close to the blonde. Natsu sighed happily as they walked, not caring about the people giving them strange looks. So far everything was perfect, she just hoped it would stay that way through the rest of the day.
After walking about a half mile, Lucy suddenly stopped in front of a jewelry store, causing Natsu to realize that Lucy had bought her some sort of jewelry item. She just hoped it wasn't what she had gotten Lucy. "Luce, you know I'm not one for jewelry." Natsu remarked as the two walked into the fancy place.
"I know. But I think you'll really like what I got you." Lucy smiled as they intertwined their hands again. Natsu sighed, knowing that she would at least wear whatever it was every now and then. As they walked up to the back where the cash register was, Lucy smiled at the woman. "I'm Lucy Heartfilia. I'm supposed to be picking up something today."
The woman nodded before typing something into her computer before looking at the blonde. "Can I see your receipt for the item?" The woman questioned before Lucy put her free hand in her pocket and pulled out the receipt to give to her. "Okay, I'll be right back." The worker explained before heading to the back room to grab whatever it was Lucy had gotten her.
The two stayed quiet as they waited for the woman to come back for almost five minutes until she came back with a small bag in her hand. "Thank you." Lucy smiled as she took the bag from the woman before they headed out.
"So, when can I have my gift?" Natsu asked, eying the bag curiously. When Lucy smirked, Natsu looked at her before realization hit her. "You're going to make me wait until we get to Fairy Tail, aren't you?" When Lucy giggled, Natsu sighed, knowing she wanted to wait until they were eating for some reason.
"And this is why I call ya a weirdo." Natsu smirked as the two headed through the city towards where Fairy Tail was located. As they walked, the two talked about different things that had been happening at their work places to pass the time and before they knew it, they were outside of the restaurant Fairy tail.
Walking inside, the two smiled as they walked over to a table and waited a few minutes before Mira walked over with a smile on her face. "Hey Guys. Are you guys going to order your usual? Or should I grab menus?" Mira asked curiously, her normal happy personality present like always.
"I think the usual will be fine." Natsu nodded when Lucy spoke. "I'm surprised you're working today. Thought you and Freed would be spending the day together." Lucy mused before Mira was able to walk away.
"Freed wasn't able to get off work today so we'll be doing something once he's done for the day. I'll get right on your food." Mira smiled as she walked off to the kitchen to place their order.
"Here, you can have your gift now." Lucy smiled as she handed Natsu the bag she had been carrying. Natsu nodded as she took the bag and opened it. Looking inside, Natsu rose a curious brow as she took out a small square box and a rectangular box. The boxes were both black and had a smooth surface on them.
Opening the square box, Natsu's eyes widened at what she saw. They were two earrings in a style that Natsu had liked and told Lucy about them a few months back. These ones were definitely different from what she had seen. They were both golden dragons with a small red ruby in the eyes and was wrapped around and holding onto a ruby that was in the shape of a flame.
Natsu took out the two dangly earrings that was half of Lucy's gift to her and replaced the ones she was wearing and set her old ones in the earring box. Lucy smiled as Natsu put the earrings that she put on that morning in the box before putting the box in her purse. "If you like those, I feel like you'll really like the other thing." Lucy spoke as she noticed Mira watching them curiously.
Natsu nodded as she opened up the rectangular box and gaped at what she saw. Lucy smirked at her girlfriend's shocked expression. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was hanging open as she stared inside the box.
Natsu had to take a second to compose herself at what she was looking at. Inside the box was a golden chain necklace with a gold dragon pendant. It had it's moth opened and looked to have a flame coming out of it's mouth, which looked to be made out of ruby along with it's red eyes.
When Natsu took it out of it's box, Lucy stood up and helped Natsu put it on. Once it was securely around her neck, Lucy smiled as she leaned down and kissed her cheek before speaking. "I had them custom made. Do you like them?" Lucy asked, hopeful glint in her eyes as she stood up.
As Lucy took her seat, Natsu nodded as she walked over to her girlfriend and leaned down. "Of course I do. But that's because it came from you." Natsu spoke before capturing her lips in a loving kiss for a few seconds before releasing the kiss and walking back to her seat.
"So you wouldn't like them if someone else got them for you?" Lucy asked as Natsu put the necklace under her shirt. Natsu rolled her eyes at the blonde's question. The two always asked the other that question if they said they liked something because the other bought it for them.
"I still would, but not as much if it wasn't you." Natsu smiled as Mira walked over to place their food in front of them before winking at them and walking off. "I hope you don't mind going on a little hike after this." Natsu smirked as the two started eating while noticing Mira was watching the two curiously. Mira had noticed that the pinkette was fiddling with something in her pocket.
After the couple finished eating their lunch, they headed out with Natsu leading the way to an area both of them knew pretty well. Once Lucy realized where they were going, she had a light smile on her face. They were going into the forest near where them and most of their friends lived during their school days.
Their group of friends would play there for hours on end until one of their parents, usually Igneel or Silver, would come and get them when it was time to head home and eat dinner. It was days where she didn't have to go home until dinner that she truly enjoyed.
"Reminiscing?" Natsu asked, walking with her hands behind her head as they walked a familiar trail they both knew well. Lucy nodded as the two went off the trail between two trees that had the initials of all their friends on them. The girl's initials on one and the guys on the other.
"Possibly." Lucy remarked in a tone that let Natsu know she was. "I'm starting to notice a pattern though." Lucy spoke, causing the pink haired girl to stiffen as she stopped walking. "We've been going to places that we both have history with. Our first date was at 8 Island, we both worked at Fairy Tail during high school and you still do part time, we're walking through the woods we'd play in when we were younger, I have a sneaking suspicion you're planning something."
At Lucy's woods, Natsu smirked as she started walking again. "Maybe. You'll just have to continue walking to find out." Natsu remarked as she looked behind her to Lucy rolling her eyes at her. "You'll understand why I'm doing all this soon."
As they continued walking an in invisible path through the woods that they only knew from all the times they'd been in the woods, they both smiled as they remembered different different memories they had in the forest.
As they passed by a couple trees that were broken and laying on the ground between two other trees, Lucy spoke up. "Hey, Natsu, do you remember this spot?" Lucy asked, pointing to the trees she saw. Natsu smirked as they walked over to them before sitting down on them to take a break from walking for so long.
"Yeah. It was before we told anyone about us dating. It was November our senior year." Natsu spoke, bright smile on her face as she spoke about their past. "Dad was bringing your mom through the forest to find us and found us making out." Natsu giggled as she thought of the specific memory.
"Yeah. We wanted to wait until we had our first date to tell everyone about us dating. And then we had to wait until February for my father to allow me to go on a date with you." Lucy sighed at how her father was when they had first started dating. "He realized that even though he wasn't allowing me to go on a date with you, we were still dating."
"You're just as hard headed as me." Natsu remarked before Lucy leaned in and placed a kiss to her lips. "Though, I guess your mom is the same way as you." Natsu replied as she stood up so they could continue on their way. Lucy nodded as she followed her girlfriend through the forest.
Nearly two hours of walking through the forest and up the small mountain behind the forest later, found Natsu and Lucy walking up to an area that was overlooking the entire city of magnolia. Walking over to where two trees were located, Natsu smiled at the look of awe on her girlfriend's face.
It was a place Natsu had found the previous summer and realized that it would be the perfect place for what she was planning. "Wait until the sun sets. It's even better then." Natsu smirked as Natsu moved the edge of the cliff they were on and sat down.
"I guess this is the perfect place to end our day before going to your parents." Lucy replied as she sat next to her girlfriend, deciding it would be nice to relax after all the walking they had done to get to where they were.
It was closing onto 5pm as Natsu opened her eyes. Sometime during the time her and Lucy were relaxing she had fallen asleep. Turning to look at Lucy, Natsu noticed that Lucy had too. Poking the blonde's cheek, Natsu giggled at the sound she made at getting woken up.
"Luce, get up. We fell asleep. Good thing we moved back before we fell asleep." Natsu remarked as they stood up to see the beautiful sunset as they looked out over the city.
"It's so pretty." Lucy spoke awestruck of the orange sky over the city they lived in. "How'd you learn about this?" Lucy asked looking over to where Natsu was standing with her hands in her pockets and toothy grin on her face.
"Zeref told me about it. Him and Mavis were driving around and found this place. It's actually near a dead end road that apparently not many know about." Natsu explained with a smile on her face. Lucy hummed as she watched the sun go lower under the horizon.
Natsu smiled, knowing that her girlfriend was currently occupied with watching the sun that she could calm herself with what she was going to do. Feeling the fabric that was in her pocket, the smaller girl took a deep breath as she held the object in her right hand in her pocket and walked forward.
She knew there was no better time to do this. It was the six year anniversary of their first date back in their senior year of high school. They had a lot of ups and downs, most of the downs caused by Lucy's father not approving of them dating and trying to get Lucy to date some rich guy.
Shaking her head of those thoughts, Natsu took a deep breath as she walked up to the blonde and grabbed her hand, taking her out of her daze. When Lucy looked at her curiously, Natsu released a breath and spoke. "I don't know about you, but today was near perfect." Natsu smiled, feeling her hand that was in her pocket tremble.
"Yes it was. You've been acting sort of weird since we woke up after accidentally falling asleep." Lucy remarked, raising a curious brow at the smaller woman. She knew Natsu had to of had a reason for everything she had planned for the day.
"I've been nervous all day, but that's because of the reason I planned all today like I did." Natsu smiled as she took a deep breath. She honestly couldn't believe she was going through with this. She knew it was something she wanted, but going through with it was something entirely else.
"Natsu? What are you talking about?" Lucy questioned, unsure what Natsu was talking about. Sure each place they went to had significance to their relationship, but she had no idea what Natsu was talking about. Instead of thinking about it Lucy just sighed, letting Natsu talk.
"Luce, you're my best friend. You have been since we met. It's because of you being with me that I was able to work hard and become Guildarts' co-teacher at his dojo. You make me want to push myself, just like I know you've pushed yourself for the same reason." Natsu smiled, releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding. "There are so many other reasons why you make me happy, but I know that I wouldn't be happy without you by my side." Natsu smiled as she released Lucy's hand and got down on one knee and pulled out a small square box from her pocket. "I love you Lucy and nothing would make me happier, so would you marry me?"
At her words and Natsu opening up the small box showing two identical rings, Lucy felt like the world stopped as she took in what was happening. Her girlfriend was proposing to her after a day of going to different places that were important to both of them.
As the wind blew by the two of them, Natsu's face change from hopeful to fear when Lucy didn't speak a word in nearly five minutes. "L-Luce?" Natsu asked worriedly looking at her girlfriend's face. Her voice bringing the blonde back to reality, Lucy suddenly crashed her lips into Natsu's own.
Natsu gasped at the sudden action but melded against the kiss while staying in the position she had been in before hand. Once out of breath from the passionate kiss, the duo parted and Lucy smiled down at her girlfriend. "Of course I will." Lucy smiled at the pinkette as the smaller girl stood up.
"You scared me. You were silent for like five minutes." Lucy giggled nervously at her girlfriend's words as she took one of the two rings and put it on Lucy's ring finger.
"Sorry. I was just shocked. I was planning on asking you once I could save up enough money to buy two rings." Lucy spoke as she took the smaller ring and placed it on Natsu's finger. "I love you Natsu. Even though I'm a writer, I can't come up the right words to express it."
Natsu giggled as she placed the box in her purse. "Saying I do when we get married will suffice." Natsu smiled happily at her now fiancee. "But let's get to where the road is. Zeref said he'd take us to my parent's place. Though you should make sure they can't see the ring. I want to let all of them know once we get there."
"Of course." Lucy smiled, sliding her hands into her pockets and walking with Natsu to where the pinkette knew her brother and sister in law were going to wait for the couple. All the way there, the two had bright smiles on their faces.
"Natsu! Lucy!" The two snapped their heads when they heard their names to see Wendy running at them and stop right in front of them. "Macao was able to get us back home, though we have to go back to Crocus to get Romeo's car." Wendy sighed as she looked down.
"My parents are going to be coming to Magnolia in a few weeks. I can see if they can bring it down?" Lucy suggested as Igneel and Grandeena walked into the living room, both smiling now that Natsu and Lucy had made it.
"So it looks like everyone had a good day then?" Igneel suggested towards his family with a toothy grin on his face. From the first time Lucy saw that grin, she knew that Natsu got the same grin as him.
"Yup, though me and Luce have a surprise." Natsu remarked, gaining everyone's attention. After a second, the two girls took their ringed hands out and everyone's eyes went wide. "We're engaged!" Natsu spoke happily before getting crushed in a hug by her mother, sister and sister in law while her father, brother and Romeo stood their slack jawed.
Lucy giggled before she got pulled into the hug by her soon to be mother in law. "Can't breathe." Lucy gasped before being allowed to breathe a minute later. "I'm not sure who hugs tighter, you or Erza." Lucy spoke as she regained her breath.
Igneel chuckled as he and everyone else congratulated the couple with smiles. "So, who proposed?" Zeref asked, amused at how similar it was to when him and Mavis announced they were engaged.
"Natsu did, though I was planning on proposing soon." Lucy explained with a smile on her face as she kissed her girlfriend's cheek.
"Well, why don't we talk more around dinner, it is ready after all?" Grandeena suggested as everyone headed into the dining room to eat. As Natsu and Lucy walked in, the couple smiled as they took their seats, noticing that the food was already on their plates along with drinks next to their plates.
As everyone started eating, Igneel was the first to speak up. "I won;t question you two about the proposal until after dinner, but I heard from Guildarts that you've been doing good work teaching the students." Igneel remarked as he looked at his eldest daughter.
"Yeah. There's a couple kids there that reminds me of me and Gray back when we were starting out with martial arts. Guildarts was saying something about me trying to get into MMA, but I'm not sure about that." Natsu spoke, earning curious looks from her family.
"Why not? I'd think you'd be good at that." Zeref remarked, knowing that whenever him and his sister had fought for fun, he'd always lost. "If Guildarts thinks you should try it, I think you should." Zeref gave his sister his opinion on the matter.
"I know, it's just I would hate traveling so much. But I'd still have to wait until august, so I have till then to think about it." Natsu explained, earning a nod from her family in understanding. "Anyway, it sounds like Erza and Jellal's daughter might be doing martial arts. I was looking over some of the new applications we got and Violet's name was on one." Natsu smirked, glad that the attention was off her and onto one of her's friend's kids.
She knew that the attention would be back on her and Lucy once dinner finished they would be questioned about everything that happened that day. She knew it was just how her family was, though it get annoying at times.
Lucy sighed as she laid on Natsu's bed and turned on Natsu's T.V and went onto VRV to try and find something for them to watch. As she was looking through the watch list her and Natsu had created, she looked over to see Natsu putting on her pajamas.
As she watched her girlfriend put on a loose tank top and sleep shorts, the blonde spoke up. "IS there anything you wanna watch?" Natsu seemed to think for a few minutes before looking at her fiancee.
"Just pick anything we haven't seen yet." Natsu spoke as she walked over to the bed and grabbed her brush. Lucy nodded, choosing something that they hadn't seen before before pressing play. As the show started, Natsu sat between Lucy's legs as the blonde wrapped her arms around her middle.
"Want me to brush your hair?" Lucy questioned as she buried her face in the smaller girl's neck. Natsu sighed in content as she handed her fiancee the hairbrush she had. As Lucy started working on her girlfriend's hair, Lucy decided to ask her about something that had been on her mind for a while. "So, how would you feel about me moving in here with you?" At her question, Natsu looked behind her should to look at her fiancee curiously.
"Don't ya have like another year or so before your contract is up?" Natsu asked, curious on why Lucy was asking her about it when she couldn't move out for such a long period of time.
"Yeah, but Cana is willing to take over for me and then she'll have a full contract over that. I just need to bring her to meet the landlady by the end of the month. So, would you be willing to have me live with you?" Lucy asked she worked on the pinkette's hair.
"Of course not. I guess it was good for me to propose, huh." Natsu giggled as she felt Lucy continue to work on her long hair. After a few more minutes, Lucy got done with brushing the pinkette's hair and set the brush down on the bedside table.
The two stayed in silence for a few more minutes until both girls let out a yawn. Knowing that not only her but also Natsu was tired, Lucy pulled the blanket out from under them both and covered them both in the red and black comforter as they finished watching the episode of the show they were watching.
Once the episode was over, Lucy turned off the TV as she slid lower so that her head was laying on the pillows. Once Lucy stopped moving, Natsu turned over before moving so that she could look at the blonde while the blanket was pulled over her shoulders.
Natsu smiled at the blonde she ran a hand over her cheek. It made everything they had done worthwhile, just staying in bed and looking into each others eyes. It was things like these that made Natsu not to pursue Guildarts Idea.
As if reading her thoughts, Lucy spoke up. "You don't have to do MMA if you don't want to. I'll stay by your side no matter what you choose. Just like I know you will." Lucy smiled before pulling her fiancee into a quick kiss.
Once parting from the kiss, the couple shared a look, knowing full well that tomorrow would start a new chapter of their lives. The two smiled at each other before the two snuggled closer together and slowly closed their eyes and slowly fell asleep with happy smiled on their faces as both had thoughts of their relationship.
Once they started dating, it took a while to get used to the whispers and condescending remarks from strangers. It wasn't that they cared about the remarks, it was more of they didn't feel like people should've said that in front of them. Even still, they were able to get through the remarks because of their family and friends supported their decision and they knew that would never change. They all just wanted them happy after all.
I hope you all liked this chapter for Valentines day. I thought it was a good idea to do a chapter for this day. Until next chapter. See ya.
