"Lucy" Natsu whispered as he entered Lucy's apartment.

"Lucy, wake up" he said once again when he received no response from the blonde.

"Hmm, what is it Natsu?" she said sheepishly as she got up rubbed her eyes. What is it now that this man have to wake her up from her sleep? He knew that he shouldn't disturb her especially when she's tired.

"Get up and come with me, I have something to show you."

"Natsu it's late and we have to be early tomorrow. Erza's gonna kill us if we're going to be late for our mission."

"I know, but this is more important." He said with serious eyes as he came closer to Lucy. He looked at those deep brown eyes with such passion.

"Please? I promise you won't regret it." He insisted as he held her hands. He flashed her his grin and Lucy knew to herself she could never say no to that smile of his. A smile soon formed from her lips and her expression softened.

"Are you sure this couldn't wait for tomorrow?" she asked.

"There would never be a perfect moment for it again."

Lucy was surprised to see how Natsu was acting. He was so out of his character when she sees this serious man standing in front of her and the words he uttersed were such full of love and passion.

"Fine. This better be worth you waking me up." She smiled as she surrendered to the pink haired man.

"Great!" he said cheerfully and plastered his grin once again.

"Hold still Lucy"

"W-wait, what are you doi-" Lucy was interrupted as Natsu placed his finger on her soft lips.

"Shh. Relax, it's just a blindfold. Trust me on this." he said as he wrapped the blindfold on her.

"I trust you" she said.

Natsu kissed her on the cheek and her face flushed. He then carried her bridal style.

"Hold on tight, Luce."Lucy squeaked as Natsu jumped out from her window. She was a tad bit nervous for she has no clue where he's taking her, however, the warmth radiating from him made her feel secure.

Natsu stopped as they arrived their destination. He carefully let Lucy down and said to her "We're here."

"Can you take the blindfold off now?" she asked

He carefully removed the the knot and allowed her to adjust her eyesight. Lucy noticed they were surrounded with trees, but somehow it looked familiar to her. Above them were countless stars and the moon was shining brightly. Now with Natsu with her, it all felt romantic. Simple but romantic.

"Luce, look at me" he whispered to get her attention.

"These are the rainbow sakura trees, but they're not in bloom yet. Remember the time I dug one for you?" he asked

"How could I ever forget" she smiled as she reminisced that moment he had done for her.

He grinned with pride. "I was supposed to wait for this year's festival but I just couldn't anymore. Lucy Heartfilia, I have something to ask you."

"What is it Natsu?"

When the words left her mouth, he took this as a signal and with one blow, he spitfired three fireballs in the nightsky.

Lucy's eyes looked up and was amazed at the fireworks Natsu created. As the sparks from the fireworks came down, Lucy's eyes widen as tears were threatening to fall. Never in her life was she in awe and she felt her heart swelling.

The sparks that came from the fireworks slowly formed the words

LUCY, BE MINE

When Lucy looked back at Natsu, he was on his knee and held out a ring in front of her.

"It took me weeks to make this, but it was all worth it" he said shyly.

"Lucy, from the day you said yes to me to be my mate uhm well, I need your sweet YES again this time to marry me "

Lucy's heart fluttered as she stared at the man he only loved, loves. Her tears were falling now.

"Luce! Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" Natsu asked as he stood up and wiped her tears.

"Idiot." She giggled

"Who knew you knew things like this" she said softly

"Eh? What do you mean? Of course I do! I maybe dense but I'm not that stupid" he pouted.

Lucy cupped Natsu's face and gave a peck on his lips.

"Yes" she whispered on his ears

"It would be a privilege to be your wife"

Soon a smile formed on his face. Probably the biggest one he ever had and ever will have in his life. Lucy held out her hand as Natsu inserted the ring.

It was like a dragon encircling her finger and a pearl as the main piece.

"Natsu, it's beautiful" she said with awe

"Not as beautiful as you. I love you Luce"

"I love you more" she answered back and gave him a passionate kiss.

"I don't think that's possible" he grinned.

Under the moonlight their lips tangled as a new beginning was on their way. But no one would have ever known tomorrow's events would change their lives forever.
