Nothing Accidental About Love (NALU)

Chapter 3 Part 2

Natsu's POV
Oh my Mavis, what has Lucy done to me? I am King but her words still affect me so.  All the sweet love we made only intensified with every kiss, with every breath.

In the shower this morning I seriously wondered if there was anyway I could possibly love her more. I just stood there holding her in my arms as the water continued to fall in us.  Several minutes had passed by before I noticed that she had begun rubbing the back of my neck.

I let her down so that we could clean up again and get ready to go. Lucy is almost glowing as we lock up and leave for the guild. We plan to leave from there for whatever mission we pick. I watch as a light flurry of snow drifts down and lands in her hair with the sun shining bright making her look like she was wearing a halo. I smile at the thought and nip at her ear before she turns and I kiss her sweetly.

I hear all the attention we are getting from those around us, the quick intakes of breath, the awes and a few grumbles but I didn't care. I open my eyes to see Lucy smiling as we continue to walk to the guild. 

I gently open the door for her and we walk inside. I'm 100% sure I look like a puppy in love following her to the S class mission board upstairs. She points at a few different ones and looks at me a questioning look in her eyes. I look carefully at the ones she pointed at and saw that two of them had gate keys as part of the rewards. I smile and point at the two of them.

They were in the same direction and relatively close to each other and the reward money from one alone would have been enough to set us up for a while. I think I know why she wants them and I don't really think the keys had to much of a say in it. She wants me, hot and heavy, all to herself.

She does not like the idea of sharing me and we only had a little bit of time before she would hibernate. Right before she laid our child. Four months is all she will physically carry our baby but the magic will still connect her to our egg until it hatches. When that time comes she will not want anyone around, not even me as she prepares. I will most likely use that time to build a new home for us. Maybe even tear down my old house to make sure there is enough room, start from scratch.

We take the flyers to Mira and I wave Happy over as Lucy talked to Mira about the jobs.

"Happy, I need you to be strong," immediately making Happy put on his tough face. I smile, "Do you want to go with me on a S class mission? Think hard about it first, I don't want you to get hurt and if that means you staying behind then so be it." I had stopped Happy from agreeing to quickly and now he seemed to give it some serious thought.

"You don't have to, in fact I would be just as happy if you helped hold the fort down here," I say trying to ease his conscience. "Or maybe go with and protect Wendy and Carla the choice is yours."

At the mention of protecting Carla, Happy puffed out his chest and I smile. "Stay safe, I mean it. Lucy and I will be gone for a little while, we will even be splitting up from each other for a while. To work separate missions."

Happy nodded and hugged me. Sometimes I forget just how much of a hugger he really is since Lucy came into our lives. "I love you buddy," I sigh. " See you later.

"Aye Sir!" With that Happy leaves turning back to Wendy and Carla.

I turn back to Lucy and Mira who at some point stopped talking and watched with awed expressions. Lucy leaned over and kissed me on the lips and whispered low enough that I could barely hear her with my Dragon Slayer hearing. "You will be a wonderful father," She said into the kiss.

Mira not having heard anything just awed at how lovey dovey we were being. Smiling she stamps both mission request before handing them back to us. We walked out hand in hand.
