NaLu One-Shots

Marriage

A/N: this is just a prompt

A soft noise came from the bar-maid, supposedly from her placing the beer that he'd just ordered in front of him. Now, Natsu has been in some sort of a slump recently. Lucy and he seemed to be on opposite pages, and he didn't know why.

"Natsu? Are you okay? You never order beer 'less something bad's happened," Mirajane stated.

"Yeah...I'm fine. I just don't know why Lucy's so mad at me; I did nothing wrong." He placed his head in his hands. "She told me that I don't get her feelings. But all I do is listen to her talk about her feelings. And all I did was hug her in her sleep, but I don't know why she's mad. She always lets me sleep next to her."

Mira sighed. "Well, it seems to me that you're messing with her feelings. I mean, she likes you. So you should probably stop doing that stuff before she says that she wants you to do that stuff."

"What do you mean that I'm messing with her feelings. I thought she liked hugging me." He looked down. "Wait, does she not want to be friends anymore?" he questioned.

"No, Natsu. You don't even realize how much she cares about you."

"I care about her too, but I don't want her to feel like I'm actually trying to hurt her feelings." He trailed off. "I love her, and I really don't want to lose her."

That's when Mira suddenly got an idea. "Well, if you don't want to lose her, and you want to have her by your side forever, then why don't you just marry her." 

"What do you even do when you're married to someone?" he asked with a gleaming tone to his words.

"Well, you can do many things with the person you marry. For instance: many married couples have children together!" Mira placed her hands on her hips, delightedly pleased with herself. "Or you can cuddle."

"But Lucy and I already cuddle every night. Also, since I'll probably never get the chance to ask this again: how're babies born. No one will tell me." He seemed desperate.

This brought her mood up rather quickly. "You see, there are many ways to have can have a child, but if you and Lucy had one, I think it would be one of the more common ways. When you two are alone — at least I hope you'll be alone..." she trailed off. "Wait! Do you even know what a vagina looks like?"

"Uh, yeah," he said rather proudly. "I've seen Lucy's a few times during our weekly bath. She always tells me how bad I smell, so she forces me to take a bath with her."

Mira's eyes widened; she knew they were close, but not that close. "Hey, Natsu? Do you want to marry her."

"Of course I do. I would love to be with her forever and have a kid with her." 

"Hey, Mira! Can I get a soda?" a familiar voice sounded.

"Oh yeah. Sure, Lucy." The bar-maid went back to work.

"Hi, Luce." He a newfound confidence in his voice, making her heart melt.

She sat down next to the man. "Hey, Natsu. I'm sorry for lashing out on you earlier, I just didn't really want to cuddle all that much." She looked down, almost as if she was lying.

"Nevermind that. I have a question: what do you think about getting married?" he asked her.

She looked up at him. A soft smile played on her lips. "Honestly?" He nodded. "I would love to get married, have a kid or two, and just love the person that chose to spend their time with me." It sounded rather simple, but it wasn't. She looked everywhere for someone, and it seemed impossible to get someone to feel the same way she does. 

"That's neat. Well...would you...umm."

"What he's trying to ask is if you'd marry him." Gray came out of nowhere.

Before a fight could break out, she kissed him. "Do you want to marry me, Natsu."

"Umm...yes."
