Natsu and Lucy stared blankly at the pair, as they walked off, Gray laughing lightly as he slung his arm around Juvia.
Gray had been teasing Natsu for some time because Natsu rarely bought gifts for Lucy, or took her out to special fancy places, and neither Natsu, nor Lucy, quite understood it. Lucy didn't see a need for flowers that would wilt, cards she would throw away, or chocolates that would make her gain weight, and Natsu didn't care much to buy them, because he found them as pointless as Lucy.
They explained this to them, but Gray only laughed more, and asked what they DID do together.
Well that was easy, they did everything together. But even they had their special things they did together.
Lucy sighed as she sat down on their apartment's sofa, while Natsu raided the fridge for food.
"Are we SUPPOSED to do those things..?" Lucy asked, absentmindedly
Natsu stood up straight, looking towards the back of her head, which crept over the couch "Do we even have money to, is the question" he added, starting to pulling varies foods from the fridge, as he started preparing to make something to eat.
Lucy nodded "true... but... what super special romantic things do WE do?" She questioned, turning to see Natsu.
Light laughter filled the kitchen "Today is Friday you know" Natsu spoke, as if hinting to her.
Lucy blinked curiously "Yeah, and..?"
Natsu hummed lightly, as he finished what he was making, which was just stove top macaroni, and handed a bowl to Lucy, before pecking her forehead and seating himself by her "well, I don't know about you, but spending every Friday night, staying up late, eating junk food, watching horrible romance movies, and playing video games with my awesome best friend and girlfriend is pretty damn romantic to me~"
Lucy blinked, before blushing, realizing that, even though it's not what most people call "romantic", it had always fit for her and Natsu, and this night, they never knew HOW it would end. One night it ended with Natsu pulling her in bed, another they accidentally got into sake that Erza left there, and passed out in the bathtub, and another they played board games all night. But no matter what way it ended, she always had butterflies in her stomach the whole time.
That's right... It didn't need to be a fancy dinner, a fireworks show, or a bouquet of roses... As long as they both felt that warmth in their chests, that was all Lucy needed to classify it as "romantic"
The blonde, smiled before tossing the remote to Natsu "Yeah, and it's your turn to pick the movie~"
Her boyfriend smirked "and you pick the game~" he said, as he turned the TV on, and scrolled through the worst movies ever on Netflix.
Lucy smiled, snuggling into Natsu's side. Cuz screw Gray. This was damned romantic, and nothing would ever change that! Because they were different from normal couple, but that was okay too.
