Chapter 6
Lucy's POV
I knew what happened between Lisanna and Natsu yesterday even without seeing it. But that's ok, because I know that Natsu and Lisanna are very good friends and have always been. So I'm not worried about anything between them. Besides, if anything was going on, Natsu would tell me. I know he would.
3 years later
Natsu and I have been dating for a while now, but nothing special has happened. Oh, wait, at least not between us. Alzack and Bisca got married and had a child together. Plus, Gray and Juvia got married and Juvia is pregnant with a baby going in 7 months. With all this marrying crap happening, I wish I was married to Natsu. I mean, we have known each other for a long time. I don't even know if Natsu wants to marry me. He keeps talking to Lisanna and hasn't been talking to me for the last few days.
This morning I just got up out of bed, took a shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, and headed towards the guild. I didn't even once look at Natsu. My perverted boyfriend who had his butt up in the air while sleeping. As I walked inside the guild and said hi to Mira. The next thing I know, I had a strong arm around me. I looked to the side and it was Natsu. I looked at Mira and pouted.
"What's wrong Lucy? You look sad and angry at the same time," Mira asked me. Natsu then kissed my cheek and went over to talk to Lisanna, "oh. That!"
I nodded.
Mira's POV
It's so silly to see Lucy like this! Pouting because Natsu keeps talking to Lisanna. She doesn't even know the reason! Natsu keeps talking to Lisanna to get advice on how to propose to Lucy!
I walked over to Lisanna and Natsu and said "You know Natsu, it doesn't help that you're over here talking to Lisanna all the time. Sure it's to prepare to propose to Lucy, but she's pouting because she thinks you've drifted away from her. So, number one rule when proposing to Lucy. Spend time with her. Now, keep talking to Lisanna for a few minutes and then walk back over to Lucy and spend time with her!"
I smiled and Natsu looked over at Lucy. He looked back up at me and smiled, "Ok!"
As I walked back over to the bar and thought 'Oh, I can't wait for tomorrow! When it Valentine's Day things always happen and tomorrows the day when Natsu proposes to Lucy! I'm so excited!'
Lucy's POV
Valentine's Day
I walk into the guild with my eyes sparkling looking around the entire guild. The whole entire place was decorated. Pink, red, and white streamers. Balloons saying 'Happy Valentine's Day' on them, tables with white cloth on them, and the best part about it. I spotted Mirajane's delicious plate of dark, white, milk, and caramel chocolate on the bar counter. I lit up as I took a bit out of one of the pieces, "Mirajane, this is so good!"
"Thanks!" A white haired girl with a sweet smile on her face said as she came out of nowhere.
"And this place too! It's ama-" I got cut off by the guild door opening slowly, revealing someone know one knew.
Everyone in the guild eyed him down until Mirajane broke the silence, "Are you here to join the guild?"
The man replied in a low, but clear voice, "Yes."
"Alright, where would you like the stamp and which color?" Mirajane asked getting the stamp ready.
"It'll be red and I'll have it on my hand." The man said pointing to his right hand.
I looked down at my guild mark, noticing that he's getting his mark in the same spot mine is in. 'It isn't anything special though' I thought to myself.
I looked at the man's facial features, the clothes he was wearing, and his hair. He was very muscular like Natsu but was as tall as Laxus. He was wearing a shirt that was unbuttoned like what Gray wears and had black jeans on. He carried two swords on his back and his eyes were light blue. As my eyes were trailing along his body, I looked at his hair. It was blond like mine, but it had rosy pink streaks in it. It reminded me of the color of Natsu's hair. As I thought about this, my mind snapped out of his gaze and wondered where my childish boyfriend was.
I forgot about him for a few minutes and just ordered a drink from Mira. As I had my back up against the bar counter, I kept staring at the guild door wondering when Natsu was going to get here. I looked over to my side and looked back over to door. 'Wait a second' my head jerked back over to my side 'is the new guild member staring at me?'
As soon as he realized that I was staring back at him, he slightly blushed and looked away.
"Umm, hi?" I finally said after a long silence between us.
I learned that the new guild members name was Ryuu, meaning dragon. Again it reminded me of Natsu but he still wasn't at the guild, so I kept talking to Ryuu. He learned that I was a celestial spirit mage, but he didn't tell me his magic. I was about to ask him when the guild door slammed open gently.
Natsu was standing right in the middle of the doorway with flowers in his hand and the same goofy grin he had on during our first 'date'.
I noticed Mirajane had snapped to attention when she saw the pink-haired dragon slayer in the doorway and squealed. I gave her a confused look and she just smiled brightly at me.
I looked back over at Natsu and he was now walking towards me. As the dragon slayer reached me, he handed me the flowers. I said thank you with a slight blush and hugged my sweet boyfriend.
Ryuu's POV
I saw the hugging scene with Lucy and some other dude. I looked back over at the barmaid staring at the scene. I then heard the guy's voice again, "And Lucy," I looked back over to the two people, "Lucy Heartfilia. I-I, umm. Ok. Lucy Heartfilia, when I first laid my eyes on you, I loved you, but I didn't know it. Now, I do know that I love you and I couldn't imagine not being by your side for the rest of my life. So, Lucy Heartfilia," I saw the pink haired guy bend down on one knee and grab out a little velvet box. My heart was pounding for some reason. I never had this feeling before and I don't know what it is.
I then heard the question, "Will you marry me?" That's when my stomach dropped and I didn't know why. I looked over at Lucy again and I saw her hands over her mouth. She was in a state of shock. Even though we were only talking for a few minutes, my mind was happy for her, but my heart wasn't.
I heard the blond mage squeal and say 'yes' in excitement. She seemed so happy as the ring was being put on her hand and as she kissed him. 'I only knew this girl for a few minutes and I'm already in love with her?' This couldn't be.
Only a few minutes passed and I sat glum looking at the bar counter. The day seemed like it was going by so slow!
I heard a sweet voice say, "Why are lookin so down Ryuu? It's Valentine's Day! Don't you have a special someone?"
I looked up at the white haired barmaid and then looked at Lucy. My eyes looked down and I rested my chin back onto my arms again. Mirajane noticed this and said, "Oh, Ryuu. You fell for the wrong girl. From the time Natsu brought Lucy to the guild to now, everyone knew they would end up together. No one doubted it." So the guys name is Natsu.
"Thanks so much Mirajane. That makes me feel so much better!" I said in a very sarcastic way.
"Oh, come on Ryuu. Forget about that. You're a new member of Fairy Tail now. Go and introduce yourself to everyone," And before I knew it Mirajane was dragging me across the guild over to Lucy's table, "Everyone meet Ryuu. New member of the Fairy Tail guild. Ryuu, this is Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Gajeel, Levy, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Pantherlily. You'll meet the rest of the guild members as you go along."
"Hi!" Everyone said back in a cheerful way with a smile on their faces.
I gave a slight, you could say worried, smile to everyone, and sat down in the only empty seat which was next to Lucy.
