"Lucy! Come here for a minute?"

"What is it Natsu?"

"Can you help me with my tie?" The rosy-haired college male asked, grinning sheepishly as he held out a red tie out towards the blonde. Lucy only sighed and smiled at the male who was graduating today, wearing a fancy dress shirt with pants as he had his cap and gown right on their bed. "I tried but I keep messing up."

"What would you do without me?" She teased as she went over to him to wrap the tie around his neck. She started to work on it as he looked down at her. "Well, a lot of things actually. I would have probably had some kind of sexual disease, would have failed my sophomore year of college, gotten somebody pregnant, and so on."

"I didn't ask... but I'm glad you know what would have happened to you." Lucy smiled, finishing tying his tie as she flattened it against his chest. Natsu shot his fiancé a grin as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her square on the mouth. "Aren't you excited? I'm graduating today!"

"Yes, I'm so proud of you, Natsu."

"Is this worthy enough for, uh, I don't know... sex?"

"Shut up, you pervert," The blonde laughed, playfully pushing him away as he snickered. "We're busy today, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know." He sighed as he grabbed his gown and pulled it on, looking at himself in the mirror as Lucy went back to getting ready. She put the finishing amount of hair-spray in her air to keep her hair lasting till tonight and turned her curling iron off, applying some chap-stick to come out of the bathroom again and look in her closet. "Hey Natsu, want to help me pick out my dress?"

"No 'cause even if I say something looks good, you're going to take it off and say you look bad then after you try on ten more other dresses, you're going to put the first one on again and drive me crazy."

"No, I promise I won't! Please? It's your graduation, I want to look good!" She whined as Natsu frowned and looked over at his fiancé. "I don't know... I mean, we only have an hour left till it starts and you usually take a while—"

"Please, Natsu? I promise I'll go with the one you like the most!"

Sighing, the male put his cap back down and went to go sit on the edge of their bed as he looked at her. "Fine, fine. Go grab your dresses."

"Okay!"

—X—

"Goddamn it, Luce. Now 'cause of you, we're late." The male cursed as they ran across campus, hat and gown in his hands as Lucy ran behind him with her heels in hers. They huffed and dodged things as they tried making it to the auditorium by the time they close the doors and start the ceremony. Igneel and everyone else must be there and the male who was graduating wasn't!

Seeing the auditorium close by, Natsu slowed down to allow his precious girl catch up, turning around to see her right behind him.

"You good, babe?"

"Y—yeah..." She gasped out as he grabbed her hand and pulled her along. "Next time, we're going with the first dress."

Rolling her eyes at him, the couple entered the auditorium right before it started, leaving Natsu to fumble with his cap and gown as Lucy helped. While she went to her seat right next to Igneel and her friends, Natsu quickly was ushered to his assigned seat right by the D's while he also got scolded.

Sitting down right next to two other D last name students, he flashed a grin and looked up to see Gray giving him a 'what the fuck' look.

He only mouthed Lucy and he looked like he already knew what happened.
