Christmas NaLu fluffiness and happiness! ʕ༼◕ ౪ ◕✿༽ʔ Title typo was definitely intentional.
Have a Marry, Merry Christmas
Growling in frustration, Natsu tugged on the sticky tape stuck to his fingers, trying to get rid of it all but with no success.
He was surrounded by ripped pieces of wrapping paper of all shapes and sizes, a broken pair of scissors, and at least 5 rolls of tape almost completely empty.
And an unwrapped gift in his lap.
This was bad.
His girlfriend was on her way over right at that moment for their special little Christmas Eve date. She had been dropping hints for the past two weeks about her gift to him, and yet here he was struggling to wrap what he had gotten for her.
He had no time for this.
But nonetheless, he gave up, throwing the gift into the corner with a huff.
If only getting gifts for the girlfriend he loved so dearly was a much easier task. He didn't want to find tape in his hair or paper cuts between his fingers. He didn't want to find crumpled wrapping paper in every crook of his house.
he just wanted to see her happy and smiling, was that too much to ask? Wasn't having him as a boyfriend enough for her?
And then, a brilliant idea came to him.
"Natsu!" Lucy called from the door as she stepped into the threshold of his apartment. She kicked off her snowy, wet boots, a perfectly wrapped present under her arm. "I"m here!"
When there was no answer, she was immediately concerned. He always came rushing to greet her, with a hug and a gentle kiss.
The blonde didn't even bother to remove her fluffy coat as she wandered inside, calling his name repeatedly. She became even more frantic when there was still no reply.
Maybe he was hurt? Maybe he, for some reason, couldn't hear her even with his strong ears? Maybe he decided to just up an leave? Maybe he was just in a deep, deep sleep?
She was praying to herself over and over that it was the last option, until she came face to face with him sitting on his living room floor smiling like an idiot.
Her face flamed.
He was sitting there half naked, a giant red ribbon wrapped messily around his toned body, a big bow on the top of his spiky head. There was a gift tag with messy writing hanging from the ribbon on his chest.
She burst out laughing, as he continued to smile brightly.
She was dating the weirdest man out there.
"Natsu!" She giggled, wandering over to him and plopping down in front of him. "What the hell have you got going on here?"
"Your Christmas present!" Natsu beamed, taking her hands in his and giving them a hearty squeeze. "Merry Christmas!"
Lucy tilted her head, slightly confused at his words and the sight in front of her. Nonetheless, she wrapped her fingers with his, forgetting his gift on the floor near her knee. "My Christmas gift?"
"Yep." He nodded happily. "I couldn't wrap what I originally bought you, so… I wrapped myself. I'm your Christmas present this year, Lucy."
The woman was astonished, eyes wide and sparkling.
Soon, her lips were pressed to his in a kiss as sweet as sugar and as warm as a fireplace. Her hands cupped his face, thumbs brushing his cheekbones as he happily returned her kiss. Their hearts warmed and thrummed at each other's touch.
"Do you like it?" he whispered softly.
"Mhhmmm." She replied, removing the bow from his head. "Best Christmas gift I have ever received."
"Even though I'm yours all day, every day?"
"Thats what makes it better. Its Christmas every day when I'm with you."
This made him smile, as he reached underneath his thigh.
"I love you so much, Luce." He gushed, suddenly a little shy as she leaned back. He cheeks were stained pink.
"I love you too." She replied with a twinkle in her eye. "Now… what was my original gift anyway? Bet you it wasn't nearly as good as you."
With a nervous chuckle, his heart pounding, Natsu removed the original and un wrapped gift from under his leg.
Lucy was wrong.
The original is just as amazing, she thought to herself, as he flicked open the little velvet box to reveal a shimmering diamond ring.
"Merry Christmas, Lucy. Marry me?"
