Uncharted Territory (Nalu)

🇯🇵14

Natsu stared at the blonde that sat across from him in the train, his motion sickness long forgotten as he stared at his sleeping fiancée.After he asked her to marry him the pair quickly disappeared before Jude or anyone else saw them, the college students going to the train station once again. Now, they were seated in the train, on their way back to Magnolia—Natsu fully awake and Lucy completely knocked out. He didn't know what had happened moments ago when he just blurted out marry me to the blonde in front of him but he knew he was screwed. He loves Lucy but he wasn't sure if he wanted to marry the woman so soon.

They've known each other for almost four months now, dating for two days but was he really prepared to become a husband and maybe future father? In the outside he was calm but in the inside he was freaking out.

The old playboy flirt never thought he'll see the day where he'll be chasing after some girl for a long period of time neither the less proposing to somebody. Was he really ready for this? One part of his body was screaming at him to run for the hills—to forget everything and live his old playboy life again but the other part was screaming at him to marry her and start his life with her. He loved Lucy, he was certain he did, but he wasn't certain if this was the right choice he was making.

He was still debating on if he should marry her or not. He certainly didn't want that Dan bastard being with her again and he certainly didn't want Lucy shedding anymore tears again but he was just so confused and nervous.

He knew once they made it back to Magnolia he'll have to talk to some girl that knew him and Lucy well. And his options were Levy and or Lisanna.

He decided he'll call both of them later.

"He asked you what?" Erza Scarlet asked from the other phone line, her voice filled with shocked and worry.

Erza had picked up right away when Lucy had called after a long time of no chatting and the first thing that she hears is that pink-haired imbecile asked her precious Lucy to marry him.

"He asked me to marry him!" Lucy shouted into the line again, her voice full of nervousness. She, herself, was also nervous and debating if this was a good idea. She's only known him for four months and he asks her to marry him and she didn't know if she should trust him or not. Sure, she loved him and somewhat trusts him but what if he hurts her after a day of marriage? A week? A month later? She didn't want any more heartaches and she sure didn't want to be hurt by Natsu. Now, she was freaking out and is talking to her oldest and most trusted friend Erza Scarlet that says she'll be back in a couple days for Christmas.

"M—Marry?" Lucy could hear the embarrassment in her voice and a small smile spread on her lips.

"Yes, Erza, he asked me to marry him."

"When? How? Why? Are you sure you're ready for this? What was your answer? You understand this is a big part in your life, right?"

"I know, I know, I just needed some girl talk, not some lecture." Lucy sighed, Erza being silent from the other line.

"Once I get there I swear I'm going to pummel that idiot to the ground!"

"Erza, please, don't hurt him too much. I love him, remember?"

"I know you do Lucy but I'm afraid he might break your heart again. I'm just trying to protect you and—"

"I know." Lucy said while pursing her lips. She knew talking to Erza about this was a bad idea but at the same time it was good. The bad side on talking with Erza was that she just asked too many questions and goes protective so quickly. Sometimes she felt as if the scarlet-haired woman was like a mother to her. "I mean—he's not that bad, right?"
