H~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~

"Nah, you looove me." Natsu smirked earning a smack once more.

"Can't you take a joke?"

"Go to hell!"

Lucy gasped for air as her mother made her wear one of the wedding dresses they have picked out last week.

Layla quickly unzipped the dress and frowned as Lucy's face became the pale completion she once had.

"Honey, this dress is too tight on you."

"Y – You don't say?"

"Your chest. . ." Layla bit her lip trying to see what she can do. "Let's . . . just go on the next dress." Lucy pled as she striped the dress off her.

Layla handed her the next dress while she gladly got into. It fit her perfectly, not too big or not too small.

It was a long Cinderella looking dress and her hair into a bun with her bangs falling at the side of her head in small curls.

"Oh my, so perfect!" Layla gasped. Lucy nodded agree with her. "I like it."

"Let's go then!" Layla shoved Lucy out the room handing her the pink and yellow roses. "Natsu would be so surprised!" Lucy blushed a bit as she held her dress up and walked down the hallways with her.

What would Natsu say or think of her? She shook her head and quickly went to the room where they were supposed to be at for the photo shoot.

After her face has gone back to normal, Grandine quickly made new arrangements.

Never again would she play ping pong with that idiot again.

"We're here!" Layla shouted as she entered first. Natsu's head perked up as his mother smiled, walking over to the blonde. "Where's the bride?"

"She's right here." Layla grabbed Lucy's arm, pulling her inside. "M – Mama!" Lucy squeaked as she stepped inside, blushing hard.

Grandine ran over to her, squealing while Layla smiled proudly. Natsu's eyes widen as he sat on the chair, staring at his beautiful fiancé.

Her golden locks, her perfect figure, those kissable lips, everything about her made his heart beat fast.

"Natsu! Come look at your beautiful fiancé!" Natsu didn't realize his mother was talking to him until she snapped, causing him to bolt right up and walk over to Lucy.

Lucy looked up at his face, a small blush on her cheeks. "Hey . . . beautiful."

"Since when do you call me beautiful?" Lucy murmured. "Since I've seen you in your wedding dress."

"Is it that good?"

"Breathtaking." Lucy looked away, blushing. "T – Thanks."

"Welcome."

"Now, lovebirds, you two go over there!" Layla said happily shoving them to the center of the room. Lucy rolled her eyes as Natsu stumbled towards the front.

He tugged on his collar as it suffocated him, feeling to rip it into pieces.

"Natsu! What did I say about the scarf?" Grandine shrieked as she tried reaching for his scale white scarf but Natsu yanked it away from her. "Don't touch."

"Natsu,"

"You can take everything away but not this."

"Why is that so important to him?" Layla politely asked Grandine. Grandine sighed putting her hands on her temples.

"Igneel gave it to him when he was only 5, says it's been passed on for generation but I don't think that scale white scarf is really appropriate. He doesn't even let me wash it," Lucy looked up at Natsu who dabbled the scarf over his neck gently, keeping it protected from his mother.

'That's why he never takes it off or anything. . .' Thought Lucy staring at him. Natsu noticed Lucy's stare and smirked. "Like what you see?"

"W – What? No!" Lucy quickly looked away, blushing. Natsu wrapped his arms around her and grinned childishly at her.

"You better not mess this photo shoot up; I don't want to get in this monkey suit again."

"You have to wear one a lot now since of our engagement."

"At least I'll be able to see you in a dress, make the dress short!"

"Hell no, pervert!" Lucy snapped. "Lucy!" Layla snapped back at her daughter causing her to cringe. "S – Sorry Mama. . ."

"Yeah, you should be sorry!"

"Natsu, shush!"

"Make me,"

"Don't make me tape your mouth." Lucy glared causing Natsu to smirk and look back at her glaring eyes. "Try me," Lucy growled at him as she pulled away from him and stomped away.

"Lucy, where are you going?" Grandine asked watching her walk towards the door.

"Getting some tape,"

"Tape?" And with that she slammed the door shut. Layla and Grandine immediately looked at Natsu, a questioning look on their faces.

"What did you do?" Grandine asked. "Me? Nothing, I just told her that I'll be able to see her in her other pretty dresses." Natsu said innocently.

"Then why is Lucy acting that way?" Natsu gave a shrug and smirked, waiting for Lucy to come back.

It's just so fun teasing the blonde; she always falls for his tricks.

~X~

A man opened the door, grinning widely. "Hello! Let's get the happy couple together for the Pic –"His grin dropped as he saw what was going on in the room. "-ture?"

He stood there in shock, watching the one in the wedding dress taping the one in the suit, while he kissed Lucy with his tape up mouth and Lucy slapping him as he gave her looks.

The ladies in the room sat in the chairs, chatting along while ignoring the couple, dodging various objects that were thrown everywhere.

"Oh, um, I must have gotten the wrong room." He said turning around to leave but he heard Grandine shout.

"Mr. L!"

"Mrs. Dragneel?" Grandine smiled a nodded. "Yes, yes! You're in the right room." She laughed nervously.

He glanced by the fighting couple back at Grandine. "Um, are you sure? Cause, those two don't look like a couple,"

"They're still getting used to it. . ."

"Well, okay." He laughed nervously hearing the couples scream. "Then, shall we get some pictures?"

"Please, and make it quick before one of them ends up dead. . ."

"Alright, can the lovely couple stop screaming and look at me, please?" He said trying to calm them down. Lucy and Natsu stopped moving and screaming, frozen on their spot.

Lucy pinched Natsu's cheeks as he did the same to her. They both turned their heads to look at the man.

'Oh, they actually look like a cute couple.' He thought smiling. "Okay! Ready to take some pictures?"

"Y – Yes sir." Lucy said letting go of Natsu's cheeks. Natsu also let her cheeks go, flattening the front of his suit. Grandine and Layla quickly went behind Mr. L as they sat down to watch the photo shoot.

"Alright then, lets a get a picture of you two holding each other." Natsu and Lucy exchanged looks as Mr. L went looking through his little box of different styles of picture taking.

"You touch me somewhere unwanted I'll kill you,"

"I'll be looking forward to it, Miss." Natsu smirked wrapping his arms around her waists. Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck, glaring. "I'm serious,"

"I'm serious too."

"Shut up. . ."

"Only if you make me."

"Where's the tape?"

"In a different way," Lucy stared at him while he stared back smiling. "Want me to punch you in your face?" Lucy asked and Natsu rolled his eyes, looking at her with a more serious expression. "I want you to kiss me, idiot!"

"And why the hell would I?"

"Because you're my fiancé!"

"I don't give a crap if you are, or aren't!"

"Don't use that tone with me!"

"You're not my mother!" Grandine and Layla both sweat dropped as Natsu and Lucy started bickering again.

Mr. L sighed as he clicked on the right one, looking at them. He then smiled as he saw the position.

They were in perfect position and they were leaning in close, but their expression was just angry and a bit playful making it perfect.

He took a picture of Lucy and Natsu and they both stopped, blinking, and then looking at Mr. L.

They saw him grinning while looking at the camera. "Perfect,"

"Perfect?"

"That was fantastic. Do more." Natsu and Lucy both blinked, confused. "Hey, kiss me now?"

"No."

"Why?"

"No."

"That wasn't an answer."

"Will you shut up if I do?" Natsu smirked. "Maaaybe~" He sang giving Lucy's shivers.

She blushed as she leaned forward to give him as kiss. Natsu closed his eyes ready to kiss those pretty pink lips of hers when he sudden saw a flash and opened his eyes.

They saw Mr. L looking at the camera, grinning.

"Damn that guy ruined our kiss. . ." He muttered.

Suddenly he felt a warm source on his cheek. Another flash and it was gone.

He turned to look at Lucy who has a small pout on her face while blushing. "There,"

"That was your kiss?"

"Yes,"

"You suck." Lucy blushed harder as she glared. "I gave you one! Be happy!"

"I'll show you, how a real kiss is like," Natsu grabbed her head as he leaned down and locked lips with her. Lucy's eyes widen as another flash appeared.

She closed her eyes and kissed him back, as multiple flashes were shown.

Natsu pulled away and looked at her with half-lidded eyes. "Now . . . that's a kiss."

"I love you,"

"What?"

"N – Nothing!" Lucy quickly dismissed it as she looked away from him.

Natsu stared at her for a moment before hugging her tightly.

"I love you too."
