Lucy loves music, I shouldn't be surprised that she's already got a playlist made for the reception, as small as it is, a little cramped in my grandma's house but it's cozy and we're surrounded by family.
"It took you long enough." Grandma smacks my shoulder as we dance. Grey dances with Lucy and Juvia dances with my cousin, I think he's found another girl to love.
"Sorry, grandma." I kiss the top of her head "better late than never, right?" I chuckle. She smiles
"That's right." She dances us toward Lucy and Grey. Grey takes the hint and swaps dance partners with me.
"Hello Mr. Dragneel." Lucy giggles.
"Good evening Mrs. Dragneel." God I love that She is Mrs. Dragneel. My name is now a part of her name. Lucy Mae Dragneel.
"Lucy Mae Dragneel." Lucy smiles.
"It's got a nice ring to it." I snort a laugh and she bites her lip.
"Yeah, it does." She lets me lead her through what little dancing I know. After everything, after every single little thing that's happened and made me doubt Lucy's love for me... feels so meaningless now.
"No more secrets." I tell her. her hands tighten on my shoulders.
"Natsu I—"
"Hey." Lisana stands there in a black cocktail dress, she fiddles with her bag while shifting her eyes to Lucy's.
"Lucy..." Lisana starts, "I imagine Natsu told you about the uh... the other night." Lisana twists her purse strap around her finger.
"The kiss?" Lucy asks.
"Yeah..." Lisana is struggling and maybe I should save her the stress of a confession and a tacked on apology, but Lucy stands there, a soft smile on her lips, her eyes wide open and looks at Lisana with kindness.
"I'm really sorry, I was so messed up that night and... well... I've always kind of had a crush on Natsu but I never did anything because he's always been so madly in love with you and well..." Lisana took a breath "Lucy, I am so sorry for what I did and if I caused any strain, not that I could, you guys are perfect together, but still." Lisana finally meets Lucy's eyes. "I am truly and whole heartedly sorry."
Lucy steps away from me and pulls Lisana into a hug "thank you for the apology." Lucy steps back and takes Lisana 's hand.
"everything is fine, he explained and I understand." Lucy looks to me "it'd be hard to for me to keep my hands off him if he were yours instead of mine." She turns back to Lisana . "Please, enjoy the cake and the snacks. Natsu's Grandma really knows how to throw together a fast party."
"Thank you, Lucy." Lisana bobs her head toward me but her eyes are firmly on Lucy. "and congratulations." Lisana dips out to a less awkward part of the room and I pull Lucy back into my arms.
"Most people would have decked her." I tell her resting my chin on her head.
"It wouldn't have changed or fixed anything." Lucy says simply "it would have been wasted energy and ruined this." She raises her hands up, gesturing to the party.
"and I don't want this to be ruined, I just want to enjoy it." Lucy sighs contentedly and starts to hum along with the song.
"What song is this?" I ask her.
"I was made for loving you by Tori Kelly and Ed Sheeran." She rests her head on my shoulder and continues humming the songs until she's singing it softly into my ear.
"What about this one?" I ask a minute or so into the next song.
"Seeing Blind, by Niall Horan." She sings, but she's not just singing it to sing. She's singing it to me.
