Hey guys! Ahhhh! It's the final chapter! So sad! I loved working on this story! I hope you guys enjoy though!

Shielding themselves from the snow, Natsu and Lucy sat huddled beneath the sheltered roof the gazebo at his hideout. She clutched onto his arm tightly taking in his natural warmth. If anything, Natsu was always her personal heater! What a catch!

They made light conversation for a while but finally they settled on sitting in silence. Lucy closed her eyes and enjoyed the peace. She heard Natsu's breath and could just sense the steam of it in the air. It was strangely comforting.

"Hey, you know I love you right?" Natsu asked.

Lucy opened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief. "Of course I know that you idiot!"

He chuckled lightly at her response. "Good because I wanted to give you something."

From out of his coat pocket, he pulled out a small silver chain with a handful of little charms attached to it. Lucy's hands flew over her mouth at the sight of it.

"It's so beautiful!" She gasped.

His grin grew even wider. "That's not all. Take a look at the charms. Each one tells a different part of our story."

Her eyes were first drawn to the charm in the shape of a car key. Obviously for their first-or rather second- meeting where she accidentally tried to break into his car! She smiled at the memory. If she hadn't made that mistake, she never would have met Natsu again. Next was a charm in the shape of Fairy Tail's emblem. It was colored a light pink, just like Natsu's hair. This was their first date. Or, not date? It was never clear!

Next was Phantom's emblem from when Natsu rescued her. Two more charms depicted their baking fiasco. A game controller, and a cup of instant ramen. She giggled at the second. How did he even manage to find one like that?

Another showed their real first date. The Disney G and a pair of lips. For their first- er second kiss. Next was a book. Their book. A flower beside it for the garden of their childhood.

And Finally was a small silver hoop. Wait, at a closer look it was… a ring?

"Natsu what's this last one for?" She asked.

He took a deep breath and looked her dead in the eye.

"Luce," He began. "I wasn't going to buy this charm bracelet today. But when you said you had to be late, I was walking around for a while and saw a shop that sold it with separate charms. It was fate finding that shop. Just like it was fate finding you… again." He added getting a big smile from her.

Finally he slipped off the his seat and down on one knee in front of her. Tears of happiness swelled in her eyes as she realized what was going on. He pulled out the small black velvet box he had been fingering for the last few days. Popping it open, inside there was a silver ring with a larger diamond center and two small diamonds on either side.

"Natsu…" She whispered.

But he continued on. "Lucy, I love you. Really I do. From the moment I met you all those years ago in the garden up until now. I want to be the dragon that guards you. I don't want any cheeky princes taking you from me. I just can't imagine it. I can't imagine my life without you in it anymore. And so… Lucy Heartfillia, will you please marry me?"

Tears streaming down her face she pounced on him covering him in kisses.
"Of course!" She manged to squeak out.

Laughing with nothing but utter joy, Natsu embraced his fiancée.

"Oh yeah! The ring!" He finally said.

Reaching inside the box, he pulled it out of it's perfect little cushion. That's when Lucy noticed the engraving on the inside of it.

My Princess – Your Dragon

"Natsu! I love it!... I love you!" She cried.

His grin only got wider as he slipped it upon her finger. She studied it in admiration and gave him another quick kiss.

"Lucy Dragneel… I like that name!" She giggled.
