Laxus POV
I was walking along the river that led to my girlfriends house. We had a big date today, but to her it was just the usual Wednesday afternoon lunch. Today was the day. I had the date all planned out. We'd go to a simple cafe, have lunch and talk about our daily lives like we always did, and then I'd take her to the park, underneath the big Sakura tree that she adored so much. Then, finally, I would pop the question. "Will you marry me Lucy Heartfilia?"
I was so damn nervous. And on a normal day, absolutely nothing could ruffle my feathers, not even Natsu being a complete moron, or his constant need to challenge me to a fight. But when it came to Lucy.. well all the levelheadedness left me. My heart would insist on doing the jitterbug and I'd swear it would try to puncture my lung.
I finally reached Lucy's apartment, and I could see the light on inside her bedroom, "Loke! Would you get out?! I'm waiting on Laxus to come pick me up and you know it!" I hear Lucy scream at her brother, Loke.
"I'm sorry, Lucy, I just can't help it! You never visit me anymore!" I heard Loke say a little bit deflatedly.
I heard Lucy sigh real big, "Loke, I promise I'll come spend the day with you tomorrow but there is no way I will ever blow Laxus off just so you can try to use me as a shield from all your exes. Sheesh, I'd thought you may have learned better by now..."
Knock knock knock. I banged on the door, letting Lucy know I was here. I heard quick footsteps and suddenly the door was opened to her bright smile and gentle eyes. We may have been dating for three years, to this day, now that I think about it, but just the sight of her was still enough to make me blush. Of course, I had seen all of her, but that didn't necessarily mean that her beauty didn't still strike me as hard as the first day I had seen her.
"Hey Blondie, you ready for lunch?" I managed to choke out somehow. She just rolled her eyes and held the door a little further open, silently inviting me in.Lucy POV
After my small argument with my annoying older brother, I heard a resounding knock on my front door. That must be Laxus! I'm so excited! Levy has been dropping hints that a certain question might be coming soon and I already know my answer!! I quickly rust to the door, a big grin on my face at the thought of no longer holding the "girlfriend" title.
"Hey Blondie, you ready for lunch?" I hear him ask. I roll my eyes at his continuous ironic use of the nickname "Blondie" he has for me and leave the door ajar a little as an invite. He takes it without hesitation and makes his way into the small apartment, "Ya know, babe... I was thinking that maybe you could... I dunno... come live with me? My place is already paid off so it'd be cheaper, and we already stay at each other's place plenty anyways..." I looked behind me to see Laxus scratching the back of his head, eyes down, trying to not get embarrassed.
"Laxus!" I yell, and he jumps back, looking at me with wide eyes, "I would love to live with you!!" I run up and jump up so I can hug him. He just grins and kisses me tenderly on the forehead.
"Good, I'll be glad to be able to see all your girly shit all over my house. At least then I'll know your not going anywhere."
Finally Loke comes in and gives us both quick farewells, as well as telling Laxus to keep me safe.Time skip, they're at the park underneath the Sakura tree now
Laxus POV
We're sitting underneath the Sakura tree. Well... Lucy is laying down on a blanket I brought with and staring up at the clouds, giggling to herself and telling me all about the different shapes. Jeez, I must really look like a pansy. Ah well, if it's for her... I'd do anything.
"Laxus! Look at that one there! It looks like a dragon! Isn't that so cool?" She looks at me, cheesing like there's no tomorrow. I feel the little box in my pocket with the most important piece of jewelry I've ever possessed in my life and as I see her, happy as can be, I finally sum up the courage to ask.
"Hey, Lucy, would you mind sitting up for a little bit? There's something serious I need to talk to you about."Lucy POV
As I'm pointing out a dragon shaped cloud, I hear Laxus say something that kinda sets my nerves on edge, "Hey, Lucy, would you mind sitting up for a little bit? There's something serious I need to talk to you about."
I glance up at the face of the love of my life, and my boyfriend of three years, "Sure, babe. What is it you need to talk about?" I say, as he looks pretty serious about it. He's using that stoic face of his, the one he uses when he's trying to hide his fear or nervousness.
"Well, today is our three year anniversary of when we started dating. But, I find that there's something more I want this date to represent. I've loved you for so long, and these three years have been the best of my life. So... so, I was hoping..." and I looked down as I saw him pull out a small white velvet box and place it in between us as he opened it up to reveal a small gold band, with two gemstones inlaid, and I recognized one stone as my birthstone and the other as his. Mine was in the shape of a moon and his was in the shape of a star. I could feel myself tearing up the longer I stared at the ring. It was just so perfect. Just so... us, "Lucy Heartfil-"
"YES!!" I squealed and jumped up on him, knocking us both to the ground with my excitement. He laughed and held me by my waist, looking down into my eyes, and I saw all the love and kindness there that no one else ever got to see, "Yes, of course I will marry you! God, I don't even have to think about it! Just... Just yes!"
And so, we held each other, and laughed under the Sakura tree that day, I was so happy, I couldn't believe myself. I couldn't stop admiring my ring, as well as the amazing man who had given it to me. My fiancé. God, how I loved saying that. And I'm sure I'll love calling him my husband even more...
Soon enough, we had told all of our friends and soon moved in together. About a year from that was our wedding and about four months after that I had been puking my guts up, so, we had taken the test and I was pregnant! We ended up having a baby boy and naming him Erin Macarov Dreyer, after Laxus's grandfather, who had almost had a heart attack, finally having great grandchildren to call his own, much less have one named after him. We led a happy life. Full of love, trials and tribulations, but most importantly, full of each other. Thanks to Laxus, my only wish in life came true. All because of a rainy day, at a library.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alrighty then Ladies and Gents! I decided to go ahead and give them a proper happy ending! I don't know exactly when my next update will be since my computer is out of commission and I'm doing this from my cellular device. But if you have any prompts you want specifically or any pairings you want go ahead and drop a comment! I'm totally open to all suggestions, and if you have any input on writing style or how I could improve, feel free to toss that in too! I'm really excited that people are liking this, and I love writing! And please remember, I do not own Fairy Tail, or any of the characters written by Mr. Hiro Mashima. Until next time!!
