The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 34

•Lucy's POV•

I am finally out of Natsu's arms and am on my own two feet, which took a whole hour of whining at Natsu for me to walk on my own. It's not like I didn't like being held by Natsu, I just like walking. Natsu huffed and puffed but he soon got over it. Anyways walking is good for me!

I smiled slyly, because I knew I had won. Natsu bumped hips with me here and there- I couldn't tell if he was doing it on purpose though. Natsu would always shy away from me when I looked at him. What was he planning?

   "So did you kiss your girl like a man yet?" Elfman asked in a deep and energetic voice. Natsu jumped at the sound of his deep voice.

   "S-So what if I did?" Natsu questioned with a very red face. How adorable. I just love when Natsu blushes, because it doesn't happen too often. I looked over to Elfman to see him grinning. What was that knuckle head thinking?

   "What are you stuttering for," Elfman asked. "This is a manly question." I think Elfman can't go a day without saying man! Just like me, I always question myself every day.

Elfman was now another person added to the group, not that it's a bad thing or anything like that. He's actually quite funny, but he gets on Natsu's nerves a lot. I think that Natsu gets annoyed easily because of how much Elfman tells him to be a man.

   "You need to be more of a man!" Elfman exclaimed. Natsu tightened his grip on my hand. Example A, Natsu seems a bit pissed. I could see Natsu trying not to hit him. It was actually quite cute to see him like this.

   "I am more of a man than you are!" Natsu hissed. I put a hand on Natsu's shoulder, which caught his attention. I really don't like seeing Natsu fight, it makes me extremely worried. Natsu turned to me and smiled. I let Elfman pass us, as well as everyone else.

   "We're in the back now." Natsu grumbled. I nodded my head and smiled. I kind of wanted some alone time with Natsu. Levy turned around and smirked, she even winked at me. I stuck my tongue out, which Natsu grabbed.

   "Wha arh yu doin'?!" I tried to say, but it came out a bit jumbled. Natsu snickered and began to walk with me at a slow pace, I guess so we wouldn't get left behind. Natsu let go of my tongue and smirked at me.

   "Just messing with my Luce." Natsu smiled as he poked my nose lightly. I had the urge to stick my tongue out again, but I've learned my lesson.

   "So Natsu, have you been to Fairy Tail?" I asked with a bright smile. Natsu's eyes glittered when I asked him. Well I guess that's a yes!

   "I've been there a few times," Natsu grinned. "Just not in human form." I think everyone there will certainly be surprised to see Natsu as a human, also with a girl. While I'm not just any girl, I'm his fiancé! Just that word makes me happy! What even makes me more happy is being Natsu's fiancé.

   "What's it like there?" I asked in amazement. I really wanted to know. For some reason I felt total excitement when I thought about Fairy Tail. Even the name seems fun! I wonder who named it.

   "There's lots of fun people there," Natsu paused. "And fighting." I face palmed. Of course there's fighting. I'm one of those people who like to talk things out, not using my fists. But I guess I wouldn't be using my fist, I've got a sword. But I left that at home!

I think I should ask Erza later if I could borrow one. I'm kind of scared to ask her though. Erza treats those swords like her children. If I got one scratch on her precious baby, I'd be a goner. I could just imagine her face. She'd be in total monster mode. I shivered at just that one thought.
