A/N: Hey guys! Just to let you know, I'm fixing to finish this. I do love you guys and I'm going to let this story disappear. I know that this is on a weird time line. But its got one last punch. Thank you for reading and let me know what you think. Also, if you want another Nalu story, Check out my Fic in Wattpad. My username is AmyNunez2.
Three months had passed. Lucy protested the idea of me missing try outs. It quickly settled into a routine. I'd get dressed grab my pink tie. Take the toast off Lucy's plate. She would weakly protest. I'd take the car to work Monday through Thursday during the day and Lucy would take the car at night.
It was a Thursday afternoon. Lucy and I were watching a show that shows funny clips. Her legs were hung over my lap and we were giggling. When a knock at the door happened. Lucy jumped up and opened it. "Jason!" She said. I tuned it out. Going back into the show. I heard the door close. "I have a date tomorrow" Lucy said smiling. "That's good" I grunted. "You gonna be okay without me?" She asked. I ignored it. "Whatever" she mumbled.
I spent the rest of the day ignoring her and most of the next. I even took the train to work on a Friday. I buried myself in paperwork. Dad had stopped by but I didn't noticed. I didn't even take lunch. But after work I did stop by the cafe for dinner. Everyone was talking around me. They mainly talked about soccer and the club. "Natsu" called a voice. A pair of milky white fingers snapped in front of me calling my attention back to earth. "What's up?" Juvia asked. "Bull shit," she swore "it's Lucy isn't it?" I rolled my eyes and drank my beer keeping quiet. "You are a love struck moron" she said calling my bluff. Juvia wasn't one to take anyone's shit. "My husband, I'm taking Natsu to the club for a heart to heart" she said. Gray nodded.
The club was empty. The chairs were still on the tables and the glasses sat unused. Gray's booth sat a silent sentinel. A shot glass of fireball appeared in front of me. "You really are an idiot" she chuckled. I downed it. "No idea what you mean" I hissed. "Love doesn't just happen. Soul mates exist, yes. But we still have to fight for them" she said. I knew she spoke from the heart. She spent all of freshman year and sophomore year chasing after Gray. "I'm scared. If it was true, I don't want to lose her line Lisanna" I confessed. She chuckled again. "Who says you will? That girl is crazy for you. I know what the signature of both Lucy Heartfilia and Natsu Dragneel looks like. Don't be an idiot. You two are meant for each other and it doesn't take Mira to see it" Juvia told me. I swirled the bit of the fireball in my shot glass around and put it down. "Thanks for the shots" I said to her. She smiled half heartedly "anytime Natsu."
Only lacking my jacket, I stood with a glass of scotch. I stared at the pool that I had thrown Lucy in. I took a sip of my drink and set it down. Suddenly I felt a push and I went in the water. After surfacing, I saw Lucy. "I win!" She yelled. "This was my favorite tie!" I protested. She laughed like a maniac. "What about your date?" I asked her. A laugh echoed and she swam up to me. "He was boring. Only thing he wanted to talk about was his ego and the fact he was watching me for three months" she said. A rumble came from the night sky.
We both looked up while the thunderstorm let loose. "Natsu, I-" she started. "Lucy, the past three months have been the best of my life. I care for you more than my own family" I interrupted with Juvia's words echoing in my head "I'd give my own life to save you Lucy Heartfilia. It's taken me three months of watching you and listening to the prodding by the gang. I can't wait any longer to tell you. Even if it will hurt. I am completely and utterly in love with you." For a few minutes it was quiet enough to hear the raindrops hitting the water.
"Natsu" she whispered. "I love you. I would give up everything for a smile Luce" I told her. She was close enough to touch me. "Natsu, I left my date because he wasn't you. You make me smile when I want to cry. You make me laugh. Every time your arms are around me I feel safe. It took me just as long. But I love you too" she told me. I took her face in my hand and kissed her. My lips planted on her soft and warm strawberry tasting lips. Time slowed down as we prodded at each other's mouths.
We went through the house taking our soaking wet clothes off. I pushed her against the wall while kissing her neck. She moaned as I ran my hands down her body and wrapped her legs around me. "Natsu" she groaned with pleasure. I pushed off the wall and walked her into my room. We fell in the bed and I slid down kissing her body. I pulled off her soaked nude satin panties. I began licking and kissing her beautiful blonde mound. Within minutes, she screamed my name. She pulled me up and kissed me as she pulled my shorts off. "You sure?" I asked her. "Shut up. I'm enjoying it" she giggled. I slipped inside while kissing her neck. I worked as gently as I could. She moaned and dug into my back. "Lucy" I hissed as she climaxed. I flipped her over and let her ride me. Lucy threw her head back and let herself go. She dug her nails into my chest causing me to lose my concentration and letting myself go.
She slid off of me. I curled up against her and kissed her cheek. She let a giggle escape. "Natsu, look" She whispered holding my left arm with her right. On the two arms were our names. I smiled and squeezed her. "Mine" I growled. Lucy rolled her eyes at me. She rolled over to face me and planted a soft kiss on me. "Love you my idiot" she whispered. "Love you too my Polaris" I whispered back.
I woke up first. Lucy was lightly snoring. I smiled knowing that she was my redemption. I played with her hair as she slept. After about 15 minutes, she sat up. "Morning handsome" she greeted. I kissed her "Morning beautiful." We got ready for the day. "Wanna head to the cafe?" I asked her. "Sure. I have to talk with levy. I'm doing a piece on their business" she said with a smile.
We had arrived at the cafe. Everyone was sitting at the usual tables. Mira brought Lucy and I the usual coffee. "Anything to eat?" She asked. "Two turkey clubs. Hot sauce on Natsu's" Lucy ordered. Mira took her tray and our menus. She dropped her them in middle of the room. She walked back to us as the group went silent. "Arms! Now!" She ordered. "Do I have to?" I whined. "Natsu Dragneel, I will beat you within an inch of your life if you do not show me your arm now" she ordered. I gave her my left arm while Lucy extended her right. Mira's eyes went wide.
"What's wrong?" Gray asked Mira. He got up to look at our arms. Gray was in shock too. Eventually the whole gang went quiet. Eventually everyone exploded. The whole cafe joined in the celebration. "Natsu, you have to tell your mom and dad. This is good news!" Mira told me. "You're not mad?" I asked her. "Mad? I'm happy for you. Everyone thinks you two are the best for each other. I'm glad you found her" Mira gushed. "Now make sure you tell your parents" she reminded.
We pulled up by my parents house. Dad's Jag and Mom's Tahoe were in the drive. Lucy insisted we dressed nice for a Sunday dinner. "You ready?" She asked. "Fuck no. Something tells me hearing 'I told you so' from mom is going to be in order" I confessed. I started rolling my sleeve down when Lucy grabbed my hand with hers. "Stop, you will be fine" she reassured me.
I took a deep breath and open the door. "Mom, we are here" I called out weakly. "Hi baby" she said. Dad was sitting at the bar stool trying to dip his finger in the lasagna. Mom popped his hand with a spatula. "Ow! Dang it woman" he howled. Wendy and Romeo were watching tv. Wendy jumped up and ran around knocking me over with a hug. Lucy laughed "Lucy!" She said hugging Lucy. Romeo picked me up. "Thanks bro" I told him. He glanced at my arm. I smiled nervously in response.
Forks clattered on plates. "That was good lasagna Mrs. Dragneel" Lucy said to my mom. "I'm glad you liked it" Mom returned. Lucy kicked me in the shin and nodded. I sighed "Really?" I asked. "Really what son?" He asked. "M-m-Mom, Dad. I have to t-t-tell you something" I stuttered. "We have something to tell" Lucy corrected. "Natsu didn't get you pregnant did he?" My dad asked. The big guy with red hair and a white goatee laughed as Lucy and I turned red. "I was kidding" he said. "Lucy and I are each other's soul mates" I blurted out. Dad smiled big and mom clapped. Wendy hugged the both of us. "Both of my children are happy" Mom cried.
After the three billionth time of showing our arms, we finally left. Lucy yawned as she sat in the middle of the bench seat. "That went better than expected" she said. I smiled in agreement. She had passed out in my lap. I smiled wider as she lightly snored and I caught a glimpse of her name on my forearm. She really was the one.
We got home and I unlocked the door then got Lucy. I carried her in bridal style making sure I didn't wake her. As soon as I closed the door, I felt a pain in the back of my head. Everything went black. i Lucy ./i
