NaLu one shots

New Years - Sophie

Authors Note:
Even though it's like... Past New Years, many people requested it haha.
Now I know a lot of people wrote New Years one shots and it's usually the same thing over and over at times. So I decided to add in Natsu's flustered/paranoid side, and Lucy's innocence for humor purposes. Enjoy!

Lucy smirked as she looked at herself in the mirror, admiring her outfit. It wasn't all that different from her usual style. It was simply a grey mini skirt with a long sleeved, plain black top. But she wore a special necklace around her neck that made the whole thing special.

"That necklace is quite beautiful, Lucy. Where did you get it?" Erza asked from her spot on the blonde's bed, smiling happily as Juvia sat behind her, brushing her scarlet hair. "Did someone special give it to you?"

"Ooo Lucy's got a boyfriend~" Cana cooed as she clasped a bottle of wine in her right hand.

"Not a boyfriend... But yes, someone special to me." Lucy corrected sharply. "Although I doubt he even noticed how much this piece of jewelry means to a girl. Natsu doesn't really pay attention to these kinds of things and their significance anyway."

"Juvia saw Natsu-San struggling at the jewelry though. He must have really been thinking hard about what you would like." Juvia chimed in as she began to French braid Erza's hair.

"Yeah well...." Lucy sighed and took one more glance at herself before looking back at the girls. "That doesn't matter right now. I mean it's Natsu... It's not like he really puts much effort into girls anyway."

Erza opened her eyes and gave an amused smile, though she said nothing else.

"Let's get going soon." Levy spoke up as she stood up from Lucy's desk. "I don't want to miss the New Years party at the guild. And I want to get there before Gajeel eats all the noise makers."

Lucy grinned and quickly grabbed a paper hidden in one of the drawers in her desk. "Right! Let's go!"

Natsu pulled his scarf up as he sat down on top of a table, watching as guild members started flooding in to start the New Years party. The first people to arrive were Bisca, Alzack, and their daughter, whom was swinging happily back and forth as she held onto her parents' hands.

"You're here early." Someone said as they made themselves comfortable next to Natsu. It was Mira. "I'm surprised you didn't make a loud entrance."

Natsu shrugged and hid most of his face in his scarf. "I have my reasons."

Mira smiled and looked forward at the main doors. "New Years is one of my favorite holidays... Want to know why?"

"Because you love seeing people kiss?" He guessed in a dull tone.

Mira fanned her face and gave him a look.

"I'm right, aren't I?" He smiled and looked over at her humorously.

"Maybe yes..." She pouted, though it quickly turned into a smile. "But I mainly like it because it's a time of new beginnings, new dreams. And it's a time to complete your old dreams, to accomplish the things you wanted to do the whole year but never got the nerves to do so."
