Uncharted Territory (Nalu)

It was weird.

Super weird.

It wasn't supposed to be like this—what is this?

It was just August yesterday and now, it's almost June. She just started junior year and yet she's almost a senior!? Worst of all, Natsu's Graduating in a week! What was this? Where did all the time go? How was it almost June, already?

Lying in bed, Lucy stared up at the ceiling as the hot humid air sneaked in through her open window. The birds chirped like the whimsical beings they were and the occasional cars made their ways through the neighborhood. How was it almost June? Lucy couldn't put her finger on it but boy, did the time fly. She swore she was just with Lyon last week but now, looking at her calendar, it was almost June.

Two weeks to be exact.

Her Natsu would be graduating next week, Erza's wedding will be in July, and then she'll be a senior and before she knows it, she'll be Mrs. Natsu Dragneel with a swollen belly.

Shooting up on her bed, she heard the doorbell ring as she waited for nothing. She looked right next to her to see it unoccupied, her head snapping from right to left to realized that her soon-to-be graduate wasn't present in their room.

Hearing the door opening and closing, she knew he was already up at nine in the morning! It was a new record!

Throwing her covers off, she put her pink fluffy slippers on and practically ran down the stairs, slowing down to peek down to see the pink-haired male grinning while looking at something in a box.

She assumed it just came.

"What's in the box?"

"Oh, g'morning Luce! Look what came!" He said excitedly as he picked his navy blue graduation suit and cap, showing the blonde who just stared. "Pretty neat, huh?"

"Yeah... Looks cool." Lucy smiled as she watched him put it on himself, flattening the front and adjusting the straps here and there. Once done, he posed to his fiancé to get her thoughts. "How do I look?"

"Amazing," Lucy cooed as she walked towards him and tugged on the strings slightly. "You look great in it."

"Can you believe I'm graduating next week?"

"I can hardly believe it's almost June..." Lucy muttered as Natsu laughed and leaned down to plant a kiss on her forehead. "Just one more year... One more year and you'll be Mrs. Natsu Dragneel!" He said happily as Lucy cocked her brow at him. "Is that what you're most excited for?"

"Yep. Nothing else but your pretty smile and our wedding date—that's what's been getting me through."

Lucy couldn't help but smile as she grabbed him from his scarf and pull him down to plant a soft kiss on his lips. "You're an idiot."

"Well, I'm your idiot so..." He said as he wrapped his arms around her waists and pulled her close, looking at her with hooded eyes as her cheeks flushed pink. They shared yet another passionate kiss as the humid air licked their skins wet.

"Is there something you want?"

"What do you mean?" The pink-haired College student asked as he pulled his graduation suit off and placed his cap on top, looking at his lover who shrugged. "Y'know, as a graduation present... you don't graduate all the time." She said, giving him a look making him smirk and shrug, ruffling his odd colored hair. "I dunno. Whatever floats your boat, babe. I don't mind," He said making Lucy roll her eyes and walk away. "You're boring."

"I'm funner than you, weirdo."

"Funner isn't a word, idiot," Lucy sighed making him stick his tongue out. "And you're graduating College?"
