Finally With You Again (Nalu)

Chapter thirty one- A Christmas to remember

Lucy's pov

   "Ucy! Lucyy! Get up, get up, get up!"

My eyes fluttered open, and Natsu was hovering over me. 

   "I don't wanna."

I shut my eyes again, when I felt his body shift on the bed. 

   "But today is a big day!"

   "I don't care."

   "Luce...its my birthday."

With my mind still foggy due to drowsiness, I shot up and looked at him. 

   "Natsu, I'm sorry! Of course I care about your birthday!"

His frown turned into a smile. 

   "Just kidding. Its Christmas!"

I shot daggers at him, and I think I even heard him wince. 

   "You lied to me?"

   "Hey, Luce...calm down now."

He rubbed the back of his head, while I slowly moved towards him. Natsu jumped off the bed and ran, but I chased after him. 

   "Get back here!"

   "Never!"

We continued to run until I finally tackled him to the ground. 

   "Not funny!"

   "I'm sorry Luce."

   "Mhmm."

I continued pinning his arms down when someone opened the door. Natsu and I both looked to see who it was, and Gray, Juvia, Erza, Jellal, and Gajeel walked in. 

   "Starting holiday festivities already I see?"

Gray smirked at his own comment while sitting down. My face turned a slight pink, and I got off of him. 

   "Anyways, everyone else will be here soon. We brought all of our gifts for everyone. Mira and the others will probably bring theirs too."

   "Who said we were spending Christmas here!?"

   "Erza."

Gray casually pointed his thumb at her.

   "Yep. Mira is even bringing everyone dinner."

   "Well I guess I better go get my gifts. Be right back."

I left everyone in the living room, grabbed them from my closet, and walked back out. Setting them all in the corner, everyone did the same. By the time we were done, gifts were almost touching the roof, and we didn't even have them all here yet.

   "Merry Christmas!"

Mira walked over as everyone followed her inside. 

  "Well, I guess we're all here."

   "Lets start opening gifts already!"

Natsu reached his hand out to grab one, but I slapped it and he pulled back. 

   "Who wants to pass out gifts?"

   "You should Lucy!"

   "Why me?"

   "Because this is our first Christmas together!"

   "Yea Lucy, you should do it."

   "Okay then. First one is...Wendy."
