Chapter 25: Coming Home (Natsu's POV)

The hotel has been reorganised for the wedding as Mira handles preparation. Lucy has been pacing back and forth in our hotel room as more and more people are sailing onto the island. Though the hotel is huge, rooms were quickly booked and tent reservations have started to rise up.

"Ugh, I hate Mira right now!" Lucy groans, flopping onto the bed, making me lift off ever so slightly. "I don't think I can get married in front of all of Fiore." Lucy mumbles into a pillow.

I have just been listening to Lucy rant this entire time and I honestly am speechless. I mean how can we do this after only knowing about it for one day? The wedding is tomorrow and there is no way we can avoid this. I sigh deeply and put my face in a pillow. "Are ya love birds ready for the big da- oh, what's wrong." I hear Happy's voice come flying through the window.

"Ve cafnt dof tfis vebding." I say into the pillow. Happy lands next to me. "Even I couldn't understand that, and I'm your friend!" Happy yells. "We can't do this wedding." I sigh after turning my head from the pillow. "Well, Mira wanted me to get Lucy to her in order for some quick dress preparations." Happy says and flies Lucy down to Mira.

I am left alone in the hotel room when Grey, Gajeel, Jellal, and Laxus storm in, cheering like a GMG crowd. "He's finally gonna get married!" Gajeel shouts. "Way to go Flame-Brain!" Comments fly everywhere and all I can do is just lie on the bed. "Hey, Natsu, you're not looking so good." Laxus comments tilting his head to the side. "I've only known about the wedding for one day! How am I supposed to do this?" I exclaim. I sit up on the bed and bury my face in my hands.

"Hey, chill Natsu. Mira is doing everything to make it like the last one-" Jellal looks down at the red and gold venue. "You'll do fine." Jellal laughs nervously. "Anyway, we came to tell you that Lucy will be staying with Mira for a bit and so we decided to stay with you." Grey says, gesturing to their bags. I huff and close the door behind them.

"Wow! I didn't even know you guys were married!" I exclaim after hours of talking. "Seriously, Natsu. You're in the same guild as us. Plus I was having a double wedding with you!" Grey says. "Well, I don't pay attention to the small details." I mumble. "I don't even remember half the things that happen to me!" The guys stifle a laugh before shouting out the window toward Mira and Lucy.

"Oi, Lucy! You're in for a rough ride!" Gajeel laughs. Lucy looks our way. "You don't think I know that?" She responds. I kick Gajeel out the window. "Oh, I'm sorry Gajeel! I didn't see you there!" I say in fake astonishment. I am hit in the face with a giant star. "Didn't see you there, Natsu!" Lucy growls. "Now stop distracting us." I hear a chorus of 'Aye's ring out from the Fairy Tail members.

Everyone is already fast asleep, but I still lie awake. I sit there for just a few more minutes before getting up and walking out onto the beach where decorations wave softly in the summer breeze. The sand is cool, but I lay in it anyway. "Hey, Natsu." I hear Lucy's voice ring out. I turn around and sure enough, she's standing there, not like the many days during my time alone where it was only in my head.

She sits next to me and we gaze at the stars together. Her eyes widen and she points upward at the many stars. "Look it's Leo!" she exclaims and holds her celestial key up to the stars. I match the symbol in the stars and nod proudly. "Yeah, I see it!" Lucy's hand flies in all directions, pointing out every constellation she sees.
