When everything was empty she appeared. She filled my mind with her eyes, her thoughts, and her heart. At first, I thought I hated her, but I didn't.
"Do you care to tell me why you were following me yesterday?"
Instead, I found myself falling for...
To think that she wanted to have dinner with not only me but my friends as well had been strange but somehow comforting. Even if we had to take the train and walk here. "So Lucy invited us to come to dinner because why?" Yuma asked as he carried the turkey.
"She wanted to get used to the family."
"So this is how she did it?" Kou asked with nervousness.
"She said she had other members of her family coming as well."
"So you are dating Lucy now?" I nodded to Azusa's question.
"Yeah" We stopped in front of the giant Christmas tree down the street from her apartment. As I looked around I didn't see her which confused me.
"Where is she?" I took a second look around only to see Lucy on her phone. She had a bell in her hair that made me smile at her Christmas spirit.

"Oi Christmas tree" She looked at me with a glare.
"Oi stalker"
"Lucy seems feisty," Kou said with a chuckle.
"Ready to go?" She said with a smile. We nodded before we followed her. As soon as we arrived at her apartment it sounded like a brothel. "I made sure they didn't use their magic today." My friends' eyes widened.
"Magic?" They questioned causing me to chuckle.
"Lucy is a celestial mage." She opened the door only to duck as a glass ran through the door.
"Bring more booze!" Lucy giggled at the drunken redheaded woman.
"Excuse me" She walked inside. Suddenly the sound of yelling and Lucy's voice had been audible.
What happened to this place? I said not to drink until later! Natsu and Gray, where the hell is the rest of the cake!?!"
"Good thing we brought a cake," Azusa said in shock. Lucy soon opened the door in her Capricorn form.
"Oh so I understand why you like her so much, she is a masochist." She sweatdropped at Yuma's words. She moved to the side.
"Come in"We walked in and to our surprise, the apartment looked normal. Lucy directed us to the large table full of many people who looked way different than I expected.
"Oh, so which one is Ruki?" The old and short man in the wheelchair asked.
"Me sir," I said causing the group to smile.
"Called it" The short bluenette woman handed the drunken brunette woman two thousand yen (about twenty USD)
"Welcome to the family Ruki, also your friends are welcome as well." I couldn't help but smile. I understood why Lucy had been sad to be without them, it was lonely.
"Let's part for Lucy finally getting a good boyfriend!" The old man yelled causing our eyes to widen. The crowd cheered before they began to socialize.
Thirty Minutes Later
I had been talking to the salmon haired man named Natsu when the sight of blonde hair caught my eyes but it had been short. The person appeared to be Yui but I couldn't understand it, why was she here. She went on the balcony and stood next to Lucy causing my eyes to widen. She was actually an inch taller than Lucy. I excused myself before walking onto the balcony. "I am pretty sure he would be happy to see you, Yui." My eyes widened.
"Yui" The two turned around and smiled.
"Yui Lucy, how did you two meet?" The two giggled.
"We met yesterday when I was picking up supplies. I saw her dress and loved it and wanted to compliment her. Before we knew it we were in a full conversation about life."
"Soon after Lucy invited me." I chuckled. I guess those two were somehow similar in their own ways.
"It's nice to see you Yui."
"It's nice to see you too Ruki-kun, also, I hope that you and Lucy have a happy life."
"M Neko-chan!" Kou yelled from inside causing her to giggle.
"I guess Kou wants to talk to you." She nodded.
"Excuse me" She went into the party. I stood next to Lucy and stared at the stars.
"Happy holidays Ruki-" I pulled her close to me.
"I am in love with you." She giggled.
"So am I."
"Hey, what do you say after the party I stay the night." She giggled and nodded.
"Fine, only so I could keep you warm Ruki." I chuckled.
"Okay" I pressed My lips against hers.
~~~~~~~~~
And so the two lived happily, graduating high school, and going to college, marrying, soon to have two sons. The Mukami's joined the Fairy Tail family and the two remembered to live each day to the fullest and Rin...well....let's say that after college, Ruki showed him where he stood in Lucy's heart.
