The first time Natsu went on a long mission without her by his side, Lucy woke up with a vanilla ice cream inside her fridge. She thought it was from Gray (who knew her love for ice creams), so she was so shocked to see a letter on top of the ice cream's cover with Natsu's messy handwriting.
She hastily opened the envelope (which was partly covered with ice) and a smile slowly crept up her face.
Dear Lucy,
I would be gone for quite some time and I thought you might miss me. So here's a treat for you (as per Gray's suggestion). He said it was your favourite so I sneaked it inside your fridge while you were asleep. You look so peaceful and slept like a baby. I wouldn't mind waking up each morning seeing your beautiful face.
I know it's cheesy but Mira told me that I have to be one because she said: "There's a lion, a snowman, a thunder-eating monster, and some twin dragons out to get your princess." Though I don't understand what she means, I told her no man could ever surpass my undying devotion and love towards you. So here's a Vanilla Ice Cream to start our budding relationship.
Sweet, Simple, yet full of flavours.
Yours Truly,
Natsu
(in cooperation with Erza, Mira, and Levy)
The second time Natsu left (six months after they officially became a couple), Lucy went home to find a box of Egg tart sitting on her table.
She immediately eyed the blue-haired mage – her partner with the said mission; as if silently asking her if she had anything to do with this. Lucy still couldn't get over the Ice Cream incident. What she thought was sweet was nothing but lies. All Natsu wanted to say was 'Don't get too fat while I'm gone', but the girls found out about it and decided to intervene with Natsu's plan. Of course, who would want to disobey a demon Mira and a scary Erza?
When Lucy saw a letter on top of the box, she asked Levy if she's sure she was innocent. Said Mage merely smiled and urged her to open the letter. She sighed in defeat; she couldn't get angry with Natsu even if she wanted to. Plus, even though Natsu wasn't the one who wrote the first letter, her heart skipped a beat when he kissed her on the lips and said 'those things are 100 percent true'.
And so she opened and read it together with Levy.
Dear Lucy,
I know you still remember vividly the events of the first letter. Rest assured that I, Natsu Dragneel, is personally writing this one with my own two hands.
As usual, I will be gone for a long time so here's an egg tart for you. It's sweet and tasty, and I believe your love is like an egg, hard on the outside, soft on the inside. You know what I mean?
Love,
Natsu.
(with the special participation of Erza, Mira, and Lissana –Levy's substitute)
P.S. This letter would have been longer but my hand couldn't keep up with the dictations of these three gorgeous ladies.
The third time Natsu left, Lucy felt excitement bubbling inside her chest. She happily skipped towards home to see what Natsu had left her with.
When Natsu came back from his last mission, he wanted to burn down the last two letters. He said that those papers will be nothing compared to the one he's going to give her soon. Of course, being the lovesick girl that she was, Lucy kissed Natsu for his sweetness and rewarded him with a massage and so much more.
And so, as soon as Lucy turned the door knob, she was met with the most luscious Strawberry Cake in town and a letter on the table.
Lucy,
I Love you.
The ring is on top of the cake.
Natsu.
Lucy gave out a small chuckle as happiness filled her heart.
She can't wait to see him home and give him her 'yes'.
