Reedus needed some inspiration. He just couldn't figure out what to paint. That never happened, yet here he was, sitting in the guild hall with absolutely no idea what to paint. He looked at all his usual subjects. He already had a ton of paintings of Mirajane and Cana. He was also tired of doing single portraits. He wanted to paint people together. He wanted to paint couples. No one really knew this, but Reedus shipped things almost as much as Mira. With his shipper's heart activated, Reedus scanned the hall for potential ships. Reedus then focused in on the perfect target. NaLu. Nastu and Lucy were bickering again. Or rather, Lucy was yelling at Natsu and Natsu wasn't paying attention. Instead, he just slung his arm over her shoulder and pulled her towards him before resting his head against hers. They were perfect.

Reedus quickly got out his paper and paints and began to paint the couple. They were cute enough to begin with, but Reedus took some artistic licensing. In the end, he looked down at his painting. Lucy had become a princess and Natsu was her knight in shining armor. The armor looked scaly like his scarf. He also had Natsu holding Lucy bridal style, but Reedus had no regrets. He smiled as he put the paints away and left his painting on the bar for Mira to find later. He knew she'd love it.


Mira wasn't prepared for what she found waiting for her at work. Her shipper heart couldn't handle it.

"OH. MY. GOD. Where is Reedus?" She asked no one in particular.

"He's out, why?" Macao asked.

"Look at this!" She said as she slid the painting over to him.

"Aww, look at the two of them being all cute. Maybe you should show them?" Wakaba asked as he looked at the picture from over his friend's shoulder.

"I don't know, I'd rather not think about how Lucy would react to something like that," Macao joked.

"Well, I want to frame it and put it up somewhere. It's definitely one of Reedus' finest works," Mira said appreciatively.

"Hey, Laki, do you think you could make a frame for this?" Macao asked the purple haired girl. She nodded, creating the perfect, slightly ornate frame for the picture.

"Where are you going to hang it, Mira?" Cana asked as she slung an arm over Mira's shoulder.

"I was thinking right over the bar, that way everyone can see it."

"Lucy's gonna love that," Cana snorted. Mira, however, didn't listen to her and placed the picture in its new place of prominence. It looked good, and she knew the guild would come to love it too, including the two lovebirds.
