Question of the Day: What movie would you recreate for the NaWen pairing? Personally, I would do Passengers. It's a really good movie and I recommend it! Titanic is more for a pairing like GruVia or GaLe...
~No One's POV~*
"Natsu-san, where are you taking me?" Wendy asked, unable to see since Natsu had wrapped a blindfold around her eyes. He couldn't trust that she wouldn't peek, her being a nosy person at times.
"You'll see." Natsu had given her the same answer for the past few minutes they had been walking. Wendy was starting to get annoyed with his answers.
Natsu had asked Wendy to dress fancy for a special occasion. She agreed, wanting to spend more time with him. She wore a simple white knee-length dress with white two-inch heels and let her hair down, curling the ends.
Finally, they stopped and the buzzing of city noise rang through Wendy's ears. Natsu unwrapped the blindfold and Wendy eyes widened as her jaw dropped.
"Natsu-san, is this really..?" Wendy stared at the sign of the restaurant she had been dreaming to go to for months. The only problem was the fee to even reserve a table! With her bills from Fairy Hills due every month, Wendy didn't have the money to spend on a nice night out.
"Yep. I know how much you wanted to go here." Fancy restaurants weren't exactly Natsu's scene, but for what he planned to ask, it would be worth it. He even rented a tux!
"You really didn't have to do this. We could just go to a movie theater or maybe a walk. This place is really expensive." Wendy continued to rant as she turned the opposite way of the restaurant. Natsu grabbed her arm to stop her.
"You can't leave. I've already made reservations for us. Now come on." Natsu linked his arm with Wendy's and walked inside.
"Reservations for two, I presume?" A man with black hair and a mustache asked in an emotionless tone. After dealing with so many customers, it's only natural.
"Yup! Dragneel." Natsu replied in his normal cheerful, loud tone and Wendy smiled. He was always so joyful; it's one of the reasons she loved him.
"Hm..ah, yes. You shall be seated shortly." They both nodded at the man's words and stood around, talking and laughing. In a few minutes, a woman with blonde hair and in a uniform came to the two.
"Hey there! I'm Marybell and I'll be your waitress on this fine evenin'. Would you like a table outside or inside?" She had a country accent and Wendy enjoyed her presence. Wendy and Natsu both looked at each other with a face that said, 'I don't know. What do you want to do?'
"W-We would like a table outside, please." Wendy spoke and tried to cover up her stuttering with a smile.
"Well aren't you just the cutest! You got a nice girlfriend here, don't ya?" Marybell asked Natsu. Wendy blushed and waved her hands around frantically.
"N-No, i-it's not like that! Natsu-san and I are just friends and.." Wendy trailed off blushing and Marybell frowned.
"Aw. Oh well." She started guiding the two outside. "Y'know we don't get too many guild wizards 'round here. It sure is a nice a change."
"How did you know we were in a guild?" Natsu asked her with an eyebrow raised.
"I can see your guild marks." Marybell snickers, upsetting Natsu a bit. They reached the outside patio that was on the highest floor of the restaurant.
"Wow. Natsu-san look at the view!" Wendy squealed and looked at the now lit up Magnolia from the balcony.
"It's beautiful." Natsu replied, but didn't take a glance at the city. Marybell watched the two and immediately knew what was going on between them.
'The girl likes that guy and tries to keep it a secret. the man likes her and makes it obvious, but she's oblivious.' Marybell guessed in her mind.
"Sir, what kind of drinks would you two like?" Marybell whispered so only he heard. Wendy was too entranced by the lights of the city to notice them talking.
"I just want Coke. She wants grapefruit juice with a twist of lime and light ice." Natsu answered, still staring at Wendy. Marybell wrote it down, smiling a small grin.
'Oddly specific, but alright lover boy.'
"I'll be back shortly with those." She told him and walked into the kitchen. Wendy's attention was finally off of the city and when she turned around, Marybell was gone.
"Where did Marybell go?" She asked, sitting in a chair.
"Just to get our drinks." Natsu replied also sitting in a chair that was across from Wendy. Wendy wanted to question how he knew what she would want, but shrugged it off. They had a lively conversation about the separate missions they went on, which were quite a few since Wendy wasn't a technical member of Team Natsu. Their drinks had came by then and they were waiting for their food.
"We should go on a mission together. Just the two of us without Carla or Happy." Natsu suddenly spoke.
"R-Really? I would like that…" Wendy trailed off and Natsu grinned wildly.
"Fettuccine Alfredo for the woman. And steak with potatoes and rice." The blonde woman put the meals down. "Would that be all or would you two like dessert?"
Wendy looked at her entré and knew she wouldn't be able to even finish that, let alone be able to eat dessert. Natsu caught her looks and mouthed 'nope'. Marybell nodded and walked inside, taking her very sweet time getting the bill.
In the middle of eating, Natsu put his fork down and caught Wendy's attention. He stood up as did she, wondering what was going on.
"Wendy, for a long time now I've liked you. More than a friend and definitely more than a sister. And, I.." Natsu's laugh interrupted his speech when he looked at Wendy's face.
"W-What? What's wrong?" Wendy asked, silently praying it wasn't just all a prank.
"Wendy, you have sauce on your nose." Wendy blushed in embarrassment and Natsu chuckled. He grabbed a napkin and wiped the sauce off her small nose. Wendy's blush only got darker at how close they were. She could hear his heartbeat!
'We're so close! I wonder if I could...No! Get your head out of the clouds, Marvell!'
"S-so what were you-" Wendy was cut off by Natsu placing one hand on the back of her head and one under her chin. He lifted up her chin and connected their lips.
'Sweet Mavis, Natsu-san is kissing me! What do I do? Should I kiss back? How do I kiss back? What is happening?!'
Seeing how she was having a mental breakdown, Natsu tried pulling away.
Keyword: Tried.
Wendy put her hands on his cheeks softly and pulled him back to her face where, this time, she kissed back. They stayed like that for a bit, just kissing each other gently and taking short breaks every once in awhile to breathe. Wendy had removed her hands from his face and wrapped her arms around his neck. It was just a simple, long, closed mouth kiss that they both enjoyed.
When Marybell came outside with the bill after maybe 30 minutes, she went right back inside when she saw the scene. After so long, the two broke apart from the sound of the clock chiming eleven times, signaling a new hour. Wendy was breathing heavily from the lack of oxygen while Natsu seemed to be ok, as he had started breathing through his nose.
"W-Was that what you wanted to tell me?" Wendy asked him, her face flushed red.
Natsu chuckled, "Kind of." Wendy smiled as Natsu held her hand and walked out of the restaurant, paying the bill and tipping Marybell a good 50,000 jewel. They had a silent, but peaceful walk back to Wendy's dorm at Fairy Hills.
"I-I had a nice time." She quickly stood on her tiptoes and kissed Natsu's cheek. "Thank you."
Before Natsu caught on to her action, she tried to quickly unlock the door and get inside.
There's that word again, tried.
She fumbled with the keys and eventually dropped them. Pouting, Wendy felt arms wrap around her that could only belong to Natsu.
"You're so cute~!" Natsu cooed in her ear and kissed the top of her head making blood rush to her cheeks.
"Th-Thank you." He unwrapped his arms and she picked up her keys.
"Goodnight, Natsu-san. I'll see you in the morning." Wendy smiled one last time before closing the door and slumping against it. She sat on the ground, leaning against the door, just thinking about dinner.
She got up and spun to her room, making sure she took light spins as to not wake up anyone. Wendy hummed a little tune to herself and opened the door only to be greeted by Carla.
"Where have you been child? I was worried sick all night. It's past eleven at night for goodness sakes! You need to be more responsible and-" Carla stopped her own yammering when she realized Wendy wasn't even listening. Her cheeks were red, her eyes sparkling, and her lips were split into a smile.
'The look of love..' Carla sighed, catching Wendy's attention.
"Let's talk about this in the morning. For now, let's get some sleep." Wendy nodded and got ready for bed, still humming her tune and making a small spin every once in awhile.
On the other side, Natsu had started his walk home while daydreaming about their date. It went better than he thought it would!
'Who would've thought that we would have ended up kissing for that long?' He chuckled to himself and unlocked the door. Surprisingly, Happy was awake and watching something on the television lakrima.
"Hey Natsu. How'd the date with Wendy go?" He asked casually, knowing of his best friends affection for the small bluenette.
"Great. Did you just sit here all day?"
"Basically." Happy shrugged and walked into their room. Natsu rolled his eyes, carefully took off the tux, and slipped into bed.
The next morning, Natsu kicked the guild doors open like usual and yelled, "Wendy!" Not only did he get Wendy to look at him, but also the rest of the guild. He didn't notice and hugged Wendy tightly, but she was in a comfortable position.
"Let's go to the movies!" Natsu suddenly said with enthusiasm in his voice.
"Uhm. Okay, Natsu-san." She replied, her voice muffled by his shirt. He grinned even though she didn't see it and kissed the top of her head. Wendy had no idea what just touched her head and shrugged it off, hugging Natsu back. They hugged each other, forgetting that they were still in the guild and everyone was watching them.
'I will never let go of her.' was Natsu's thoughts. As Lucy was walking towards them to break the two apart, Gajeel blocked her with his arm that had turned into iron. She raised an eyebrow at him and he shook his head no. The blonde shrugged and let the dragon slayer couple be. From his spot on the balcony, Laxus watched them with an expression no man could understand. He grinned such a small smile that no one seemed to notice it.
'Flamebrain found his mate. But I think he knows it yet.'
Later that night~!
Wendy waited for Natsu outside of the guild hall, like they agreed. This time she wore a pastel purple dress that reached her knees and lilac flats. Her hair was in a ponytail with her normal bangs that formed her face.
"Wendy!" A male voice called out to her as its owner approached. "Ready to go?"
Wendy nodded at Natsu's question and took the arm he held out for her. The walk was filled with their laughter and conversation until they made it to the ticket booth.
"What movie will you two be watchin' tonight?" A familiar country accent asked them.
"Marybell?" The two asked at the same time.
"Well, howdy there! I saw you two makin' out on the balcony. I didn't think that you'd get that far so fast!" Wendy blushed heavily and looked down. Despite the light blush on his cheeks, Natsu rolled his eyes.
"It's not like that Marybell. Two for The Mummy." Natsu took out his money and Wendy froze.
'Isn't that a horror movie?'
"No need for that. It's on the house for you love birds." She handed them their tickets. "Theater 13 on the right. Enjoy!"
Once they walked inside, Wendy spoke up.
"Natsu-san.." Natsu looked down at Wendy who met his gaze with hers. "I'm a weak person! I can't do scary movies. They will absolutely break me!"
"You'll be fine, Wendy."
"I scared myself the other day by turning on the bathroom fan instead of the light." She replied in a flat tone.
"I'll be right there with you, okay? Please don't worry, Wendy." She decided to be strong and do it for Natsu. Wendy nodded and Natsu smiled at her. They found Theater 13 and entered, one excited and the other horrified.
Towards the end of the movie, Wendy was about to burst out into tears and cry. What kind of movie was this?! Natsu heard her whimpering and looked at Wendy, the sight almost breaking him.
She had tears in her eyes, her bottom lip quivered, and she was slowly curling herself into a ball. Her eyes were wide open with fear and she stared at the screen. Natsu knew for a fact that the next scene might just be the end of her if he didn't do something.
He grabbed her chin and turned her head to face him.
"Look at me, Wendy and nothing else. Just me." Wendy started crying silently at Natsu's whispered words, but still looked into his eyes. Her eyes glossy with fresh tears and his with a look of determination and a bit of sadness. She heard someone from the movie scream and hugged Natsu.
"I can do it, I can do it, I can do it." She continued chanting those four words, though she had no faith in them. She continued to cry into Natsu's shirt for the rest of the movie, him comforting her and smoothing her hair down. The movie had long ended and everyone had left, except the two dragon slayers. Wendy sat in her chair, hugging Natsu and getting the last of her tears out.
"That.. was really scary.." With every pause she took, Wendy would sniffle just a bit.
"I know, but you got through it and I'm so proud of you." Wendy let go to look at Natsu's soft smile. He kissed her forehead gently making Wendy tear up again.
"What's wrong?" Natsu asked softly and moved a strand of hair that fell out of its place on her head.
"I love you Natsu-san." She said those words so clearly, Natsu believed in them instantly as did she.
"I love you too, Wendy." He kissed her forehead once more. "And don't ever forget that."
The walk to Fairy Hills wasn't too exciting as they just talked about themselves mostly.
"Thank you again, Natsu-san for helping me." Wendy blushed in embarrassment, remembering herself in the movie theater.
"It's fine, really." Natsu replied. Neither remember how, but somehow their lips ended up on each others. Just like the first time, it was a closed mouth kiss, but Natsu wanted just a little bit more. He restrained himself by picking up Wendy by the waist. To keep herself from falling she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She pulled away and smiled at him as did he.
Natsu placed her on the ground, standing of course. Before she knew it, her back was to the wall and her lips on Natsu's. Compared to their other sweet kisses, this one was rather intense and heated. Natsu was exploring her mouth with his tongue and Wendy was accepting to it all. Of course, she had no idea what to do back, but she decided to let him have his way. It came to the point where she had to pull away for air. Her lips were damp and her face was red, but Natsu could only grin. He had gotten his way and that was just what he wanted.
"I-It's getting late, so I sh-should get going, Natsu-san." She got out of Natsu's trap and sneaked her way inside of Fairy Hills. Natsu laughed and made his way home.
One Week Later~!
Wendy and Natsu had decided to take a job by themselves. Though, Carla was absolutely against it, Happy somehow convinced her that nothing would happen. The train ride was painful for Natsu, but he pushed through it anyways. The job was to find and capture bandits that had been kidnapping children in Hargeon. Simple.
Night time approached and the dragon slayer couple awaited for the bandits near their supposed next target. Natsu suddenly heard a scream and ran towards the sound. By the time he got there, no one was to be seen, including Wendy. He growled and followed her lingering scent to an abandoned warehouse. Instead of thinking, Natsu busted down the doors and continued following Wendy's scent. There surprisingly weren't too many people guarding the entrance way.
Natsu opened another pair of doors and saw Wendy being dragged away into a dark set of stairs.
"Wendy!" He called out and she looked up. She had scars on her face and her eyes had tears that were ready to flow down her cheeks. Wendy wasn't there for more than an hour; they must've hit her. Just the thought made Natsu's blood boil to the point where steam practically was coming from his ears.
"Natsu-san." Her voice had become hoarse from screaming seconds before as her words only came out in a whisper.
Hands grabbed Natsu's arms in a tight grip and dragged him down the stairs as well. He fought, screamed, but to no avail, he wasn't getting any closer to freedom. His fire magic bounced off of them, and Natsu started questioning if they were human or not. At some point, the men holding Natsu punched him in the face, just to keep him quiet. They soon locked him in a cell with magic proof chains. The cell they confined Natsu in was right across from Wendy's.You could see how hard she was trying to keep back her tears.
"Wendy." Natsu said softly and she looked up.
"Natsu-san." Her smile didn't last long as her tears quickly overflowed and streamed down her cheeks. Some were tears of joy while the rest were ones of sadness. They dropped to the cold floor and the only sound you could hear were her cries.
'How dare they make her cry! my mate, my Wendy is upset because of those bastards! I'll kill 'em! No one hurts what's mine!'Unconsciously, Natsu's body was engulfed by flames, melting the chains that held him. He stood and easily melted the pathetic bars of metal, the exposed parts of his body sticky with the substance. Wendy could only stare at Natsu in happiness.
'He never ceases to amaze me.'
"Oi! What's with the-" The guard didn't finish as he was quickly knocked unconscious from Natsu's fist. He melted the bars and chains inside of Wendy's cell.
"Thank you, Natsu-san." She spoke quietly.
"Wendy, free all the children that are here." He stood up to his full height. "I'm going to kill the guy who runs this whole thing." With that, he ran off, knocking every guard he saw unconscious. Some were armed while others weren't. Either way, none were awake if they were seen by Natsu.
'There he goes again.. being a hero..' Wendy thought to herself and freed all the smaller kids there. One even kissed her cheek and thanked her too many times to count. They all ran off to their homes and Wendy waited for Natsu to come back. After an hour or so, she was about to go see if she could find him when Natsu himself came out.
"Did you get him?"
"No. Apparently, the guy took a plane out of Fiore a few days ago. Can you believe that coward?!" Natsu was obviously upset he didn't get to fight anyone and Wendy just laughed. Natsu noticed and laughed along with her before making their way to the clients house.
'I won't ever let her go. She's too fragile. Too precious. Anyone could try to harm her, but not while I'm around.' Natsu grabbed Wendy's hand and she rested her head on his arm. 'She's the only one for me.'
