Chapter 2 is up! Enjoy. This'll hopefully be a quickfire posting. The story won't be anymore than I think 6 or 7 chapters. Unless it gets enough requests for me to go past what I have currently done. But anyways, I hope you enjoy. This is my first fluff so please don't hate me if it sucks.
Lucy's POV
I look in the mirror as my mother ties a bow into my hair. I smile at her and grab my doll. "I can't wait to meet her" I say happily.
"Be warned, she's really shy." My mother sinks down to my level, she fixes the hem of my dress.
"Okay…"I look at her. "So her name is Erza?"
"Yes."
"What a weird name" I giggle.
"Don't say that when you meet her, it's rude."
"Okay, mommy."
"Good girl." She kisses my forehead. "Now your father and Mr. Flora should be talking. Mrs. Flora and Erza should be waiting for us in the garden."
She takes my hand and we walk through the manor and to the garden. I love the garden, all the pretty flowers, my mommy usually lets me pick them and we make bouquets.
I see a woman with brunette hair standing near the spider lilies. My mother walks over to her and hugs her. I look around to see someone moving around the edge of the garden. I walk over to see a little girl with scarlet red hair. She doesn't look at the flowers but is making a little circle of dandelions, the weeds of the garden. I walk over to her. "Hi, I'm Lucy" I say to her.
She looks up at me and holds up the little thing of dandelions. She stands so the way she holds it is over my head. I look up at her. Her eyes are a dark brown and her face has no emotion. She just is blank and places the dandelions on my head. "It's a crown" she says softly. Her voice is girly like every girl her age but it sounds stern, like she's ordering someone.
"Thanks…"I adjust it.
"My dad said that a man usually would bring a woman a gift when he wants to talk of betrothal. I thought…that would do" she murmured, her cheeks turning a shade of red to match her hair.
"It's pretty." I smile at her.
She softly smiles. I hold my doll closer to my chest. "Your doll is cute." She leans in closer to look closely at Michelle.
"It was a present from my parents."
"Ah." She looks off at our moms.
"Do you know how my parents know yours?" I ask her.
"My dad helped yours out when they were younger. Helped start all this." She looks around the estate.
I take her hand. "Let me show you around." I blush and pull her off. She doesn't say a word and follows.
"Your mother was a celestial mage."
"Yeah." I look back at her. "I want to be like her. I want to join a guild."
She looks off. "I don't have magic. I'm supposed to by what my dad says."
I look down at the fresh cut green grass. "A lady shouldn't have to be a knight."
"One should know how to protect their love." She stops in front of the tiger lilies, they're my favorite flowers. She kneels and picks one. "Your eyes went to these." She holds it out to me. "You like them?"
"Yeah..." I take it from her and look it over. "What's your favorite flower?"
"Roses." I pull her to the roses. I go to pick one but get pricked by a thorn.
"Owie…." I pull my hand away and hold it to my chest. I see the drop of crimson come from the wound and I tear up.
"Lucy." Erza takes my hand and looks it over. "It's just a little prick." She puts my finger in her mouth. I blush madly. She lets me go after a bit. "See? It's already stopped bleeding."
"Thanks!" I look at my finger to see the little red dot.
She puts her hand to my forehead. "Are you sick? You're really red."
"I'm fine." I look back at the manor. "Want to go to my room and play with my dolls?"
"Sure!"
We run into the manor, racing up to my room and to my dollhouse. I tell her the name of all my dolls and we start to play, setting up the home. There was the mommies and the kids. I like that I get to play with her. The boys that my daddy makes me play with never want to play. I'm glad Erza is here to play with me.
I saw that Erza took a liking to my doll Josie. "You want her?" I ask.
"No...she's yours."
"I have lots of dolls. And she makes you happy. I want you to be happy. Keep her. I'll see her anyway, when you bring her over when we play. I'll have her then." I smile at her.
She smiles back and we go back to playing. We end up playing until tea time.
Erza's POV
I really like this Lucy girl. She's really cute. I just want to keep her safe, like a knight would for a princess.
"So did you two have fun?" my mom asks me and Lucy. She puts her teacup down on the table.
"Yeah, I had fun," I say.
"Me too," Lucy says.
I roll the strawberry on the top of my cake around. "Erza, don't play with your food" my dad says sternly.
"Sorry," I mumble. I've never had strawberry cake, I don't even know if I like it.
"You know Lucy helped the cook make the cake," Mrs. Heartfilia says.
Does a man try his wife's cooking and baking even if it might stink? Most likely, so I guess I should try it then. "Hm…"I take a bite. It's the sweetest thing I've ever had. It's amazing. "It's really good!"
Lucy smiles at me and giggles. "You have frosting on your cheek, Zaza." Zaza? A nickname?
"Oh…"I wipe it away. "Thanks, Lulu." I guess I should give her one too.
I really enjoy being around this girl. It's been one day but I already feel all fuzzy around her. She's really pretty and cute. She's smart also. I already can't wait to marry her.
God I hope I don't sound bad or make their thoughts and vocabulary too vast for their age. I hope you enjoyed the 2nd part. Reviews, favs and follows are loved. Critiques are appreciated. Until next time my friends.
