"Lucy!" The pinkette yelled at his blonde best friend, before she could get in her apartment
"Ara? What is it..?" Lucy asked, as Natsu quickly met her at the door
"W-Will you go out with me?!" He asked quickly, stuttering over the sentence a bit, cheeks tinted a bright red
Lucy stared unblinking at the male, silently, before swiftly pulling a piece of paper out of her pocket, and placing it in his hands, ultimately confusing Natsu.
"Uhm, what is this?" He asked after awhile
"50 reasons" Lucy stated "Why we probably wouldn't work out"
"so you thought about going out with me?~" He asked slyly, a smirk working it's way his face, making Lucy hit him upside the head
"B-Briefly! Because... I knew you would fall for me eventually!"
"Riiiiight"
With that, he opened it "Lets see here~"
And silence followed, as his eyes scanned the list, looking amused as he read, until he finally spoke;
"Odd hair color...
Too aggressive, and hot-headed
Always picking fights
What about my safety?-" He said that part with disbelief
"Lisanna..?
Too young for marriage
Too young for children- Ok, this is just ridiculous." He finally stopped, tearing the list to 100 different pieces, causing Lucy's eyes to go wide, gaping as the pieces flew into the breeze
"for starters, the hell does my hair have to do with this?! And secondly, you're thinking WAY farther ahead than I am, I just wanna go on a date with you! Third, we've been practically living with each other for YEARS, and have been best friends the entire time! And you always put up with me! What makes dating you any different?!"
Silence.
How long ago did Lucy write this? And what the hell was she thinking? She already knew she loved him... Maybe she was just scared of getting hurt...
"Lucy..." Natsu finally said softly, grabbing her hands "I would never hurt you... And I'd do anything for you... All I'm asking for is one date, and if you hate it that much, then we'll never speak of it again, kay?"
After some time, Lucy gripped his hands tightly, with a smile "H-Hai... Arigatou, Natsu..."
Yeah, and wait until she told THIS embarrassing story to their kids. Smooth move, Heartfilia.
