Future

"Hey Lucy! Want to go on a job with me and Happy?"

"I don't know Natsu. Maybe."

Natsu sat down by Lucy and grinned. "Are you worrying about Erza?"

"I'm not worried! I just wish she would come back already." Lucy said with a huff. Natsu laughed and rose to his feet.

"Well I'm heading out. I'm sure your knight will come back soon princess Lucy." Natsu ducked when Lucy threw a chair at him. He ran out of the guild laughing.

"Idiot." Lucy sighed and leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. She started thinking about what she had been through in her life. She had lost her mother at a young age, her father barely talked to her until she left for Fairy Tail, and she had gone on countless missions. The missions were dangerous whenever she went with Natsu, Gray, and Erza, but they always somehow managed to win. Sometimes Lucy thought she would die and never see how her future would be. She wanted to fall in love and be like everyone else. Lucy wanted a normal life, but that was not how Fairy Tail was. They were rowdy and made a mess of everything they did. Secretly though, Lucy loved it. She did fall in love and she would hate to go back to a life with no Fairy Tail. It was part of who she was.

"Lucy."

"..."

"Luce."

"..."

"You just had to go falling asleep now didn't you?"

"..."

"Wake up princess."

Lucy woke up when she felt something touch her lips. She opened her eyes and realized that a person was kissing her. She smiled when she saw who the person was.

"My beautiful knight, Erza."

"Lucy." Erza said smiling. She loved waking up Lucy like that.

"How was your job?"

"Good." Erza said as she sat down on Lucy's lap. She wrapped her arms around Lucy and kissed her neck. "I have something I want to do." Erza got up and walked over to the bar where Mira was and whispered in her ear. Lucy sat there staring at Erza with a curious expression. She wanted to know what was going on. Erza finished talking to Mira and headed back to Lucy. Mira smiled and ran around the guild whispering something to them. Now Lucy felt nervous because everyone in the guild was turning their attention to her and Erza who was now directly in front of Lucy. Erza stared into Lucy's eyes with a smile on her face. She then knelt down on one knee. Lucy gasped. She knew where this was going now. Erza pulled out a small box.

"Lucy, we have known each other for two years now and have been through hell together. I can't live without you. I want a future with you and only you. Lucy Heartfilia will you marry me?"

Lucy was stunned. Sure she and Erza had been dating for over a year now, but she did not see this coming. She smiled as all of Erza's words sunk in. She started crying and threw herself into Erza's arms. "Yes!" Erza smiled and put the ring on Lucy's finger. She then gave Lucy a passionate kiss. The guild members started clapping and cheering for the two girls.

"You know people won't accept this."

"Since when did we care? All we need are our friends and right now they're all supporting us."

"You're right. I love you Erza."

"I love you too Lucy. That's why I'm going to marry you."

Lucy grinned and kissed Erza again.

'I really do have a future.'
