I’m nervous. Really really nervous till I’m about to pee in my pants. Even though, I will never do that. As I stood outside of Lucy’s apartment, waiting for her, I recalled the happenings of the day. Today is Lucy’s birthday. When I woke up, I immediately wash up, as quietly as possible to not wake the slumbering beauty kwa my side, and went out of the house to plan my surprise for Lucy. As I walked along the road, I wondered what I should do for Lucy’s birthday today. After thinking for a long time, I decided that my brain had enough thinking for one day. It was then that I realized that I had reached the guild. I pushed open the doors in my usual way and shouted,
"Good Morning!"
Shouts were ringing throughout the guild and the guild members returned my greeting as I walked past them. I walked towards the bar with a growling and empty stomach. I am starving. I was about to sit when all of a sudden, a ball of blue came flying into me causing me to stumble a little.
"Natsu!! You’re here! Where’s Lucy?"Happy, my blue furry partner questioned as he blinked up at me with his innocent looking eyes.
"Hey Happy, welcome back from your job. Lucy’s still in bed." I ruffled the little guy’s head and grinned at him.
"Natsu, today’s-"
Just as he started to speak, my tummy let out a loud growl, reminding me that it needs to be fed.
"Mira! Some moto pasta, tambi please!" I shouted my order to Mira over the din of the guild.
"Wait a minute!" Was what I heard back as a reply. Turning back to Happy, I said,
"Sorry buddy, I skipped Lucy’s breakfast and came here. What were wewe going to say just now?"
"It’s okay. As I was saying, today’s Lucy’s birthday, what are wewe going to surprise her with today?"
As soon as the words left Happy’s mouth, I frowned.
"I’m not sure. I’ve been thinking but I couldn’t come up with something good. I’m stuck." I sighed as I looked at Happy.
"Well, this really is a huge problem Natsu. wewe always surprised Lucy on her birthday and made her all happy so that she could forget about her sad birthdays."
"I know! That’s why I’m so frustrated now! I’ve run out of ideas to surprise Luce for her birthday! What am I going to do Happy?" “Why don’t wewe propose to her then?"With a start, I looked up at the person who suggested that and found myself face to face with a smiling barmaid. “P-propose? B-but isn’t it too early for that?" I questioned looking puzzled and apprehensively at Mira. According to my observation, Mira has been trying to get me and Lucy married for some unknown reason even though I’ve already explained to her that we’re already married since we’re mates. But she wouldn’t listen and even alisema that other guys will snatch Lucy away if there was no ring on her finger. After I heard that, I decided to get married to Lucy. Because, as if I’ll let some other bila mpangilio and weak guy take MY Lucy away from me. That will never ever happen. I wanted to get married immediately so that I can put the ring on Lucy’s finger and everyone will know that she’s mine but Lucy wanted to wait. I can’t disrespect my mate’s wishes can I? So I waited. Thus, this subject has never been brought up again. Until now that is. “It’s not too early Natsu. I mean wewe guys have been dating for two years. It’s about time for wewe to get married."Mira smiled again and handed me my plate of food. Distracted kwa the chakula and my growling stomach, I swiped up the plate and gobbled down the chakula in one go, ignoring Mira’s suggestion. “Ah! That hit the spot. That was delicious. Thanks Mira." “You’re welcome Natsu. So how about it? Don’t wewe think that proposing to her is a good surprise for her?"Mira pressed on as she looked at me with an excited expression. “Aye! Natsu, I think that Mira’s idea is a good one. Lucy will not be expecting wewe to propose to her so she’ll be surprised. Besides, if wewe proposed to her, then from today on, the memorises of her sad birthday’s will be replaced kwa your proposal. This way, Lucy won’t be sad on her birthdays anymore." “But," I started, “I’m still not sure. What if it’s too soon and Lucy freaks out and then rejects me? I won’t be able to handle that. I don’t want Lucy to reject me." I retorted beginning to become depressed at the idea of Lucy rejecting me. A shiver ran through my body as I thought of never being able to be with Lucy anymore. “Lu-chan will never do that Natsu. I overheard your conversation and couldn’t help joining. Lu-chan loves wewe as much as wewe upendo her. wewe should know that better than anyone Natsu! I think Mira’s idea is a good idea too. I’m sure Lu-chan will accept too. She’ll never ever reject wewe Natsu, she loves wewe too much. Anyway, like Mira has said, it’s been quite a long time since wewe guys have been dating so it’s about time for the both of wewe to get married." I opened my mouth to answer when the killer line appeared,"you wouldn’t want Lucy to get snatched away from wewe kwa some bila mpangilio and weak guy would you?" Growling out a “No", I thought about what Levy said. While I was so busy thinking about going with Mira’s suggestion so that Lucy will not be taken away from me, I failed to notice two mages and a blue cat giving each other knowing looks. Eventhough the killer line has been mentioned, I was still a little doubtful. I really don’t want Lucy to be snatched away but I can’t help but think of the possibility of Lucy rejecting me. That would be equally as bad as letting her be snatched away. I upendo Lucy so much that I think I won’t be able to live without her. Hell, even now as I sit here in the guild, I have the urge to run nyumbani and pull Lucy into my arms. I just can’t kubeba to be too far away from her for a long time. As I was still busy thinking, I didn’t notice a bunch of guild members coming towards me. So, when Erza landed her hand on my shoulder, I jumped and looked up. “Natsu, I too agree that it’s time for wewe and Lucy to get married,"my eyes widened as I realised what she was talking about,"however, if wewe ever hurt Lucy in any way, you’ll be receiving an instant ticket to hell. Understand?" The Titania warned. Cowering under her mighty glare, I replied" A-aye! Anyway, I’ll never hurt Lucy."and I whispered to myself,"she’s too precious to me." “Good. I’ll hold wewe to that."With a nod, Erza sat down on the inayofuata kinyesi beside me with a satisfied look on her face. After Erza’s warning, many of the other members that had crowded around me shouted out their agreement of me proposing to Lucy. Among those agreements, the ice bastard was one of them. “Ashbrain, Lucy has really good looks that makes guys drool whenever they see her. If wewe don’t make a songesha now she’ll really be taken away from you." Again, the killer line made it’s appearance. Hearing it from ice princess made the line sound even zaidi deadly. I really don’t want to let someone take Lucy away from me zaidi so than Lucy rejecting me. At least that’s what I thought after the iceprick spoke. Standing up, I exclaimed “I won’t let Lucy be taken away from me! I’ll propose to Lucy so that she’ll never be taken away from me!" With that declaration, I pumped my fist in the air looking determined. If proposing to Lucy will allow guys to know that she’s mine, I’ll do it. Except…I don’t know how to propose. As this thought occurred to me, I sat down again depressed and upset. I don’t know how to propose to Lucy. As if kusoma my thoughts, Mira spoke,"Natsu, wewe can bring her to the guild to propose to her if wewe want. Since everyone will be here to help you. wewe can even use the stage if wewe like." As soon as Mira alisema this, many other suggestions on how I should propose to Lucy came from all directions of the guild. Everyone was suggesting something. After a long while of thinking and discussing, the latter which was mainly done kwa me and Happy, I decided that Mira’s idea is the best. Saying goodbye to my guildmates, I ran to town to buy a ring for Lucy. “Mister, how about this one?" The store owner of the jewelry duka that I have entered showed me another ring that was just as beautiful as the others but does not suit Lucy. I shook my head when I found none that suited Lucy. Sighing, I was about to give up and go to another store when my eyes caught a gleam of white gold. I turned my gaze towards the direction of the white dhahabu ring, that had caught my gaze, and gasped. I found it. I have found the perfect ring for both of us. The ring was perfect. It was a simple white dhahabu ring with tiny jewels of different colors encrusted into it. There was also two jewels in the colors of moto and stars respectively. moto and stars! This ring seem to be made just for me and Lucy! I immediately pointed to the ring and told the owner, “That ring. I want to buy that ring." The owner took the ring out of the glass case and showed it to me. “Here, this is the one that wewe wanted." Marveling at it’s beauty, I picked it up and said, “how much is it?" “It’s 6500 jewels sir. wewe have a very good eye. This ring is specially made kwa magic and represents two nyota crossed lovers. Would wewe like to buy it?" “Yes." I breathed out ignoring the owner’s speech as I kept on marveling the ring’s beauty. The jewel that was in the color of moto seemed to actually contain moto in it and the stone that had the color of stars seem to have some form of nyota in it. I can’t wait to let Lucy see this. She’ll be overjoyed. I quickly paid for the ring and pocketed it and hurried to Lucy’s apartment. It was getting late. That is why, now, I’m nervous. Because I’m waiting for Lucy to come back from wherever she went to. The nervousness in me is killing me as sekunde ticked by. Lucy, where are you? Hurry up and come back. I was shifting from foot to foot looking around to see if I can catch a glimpse of Lucy’s figure au blond head. Halfway, Happy came and see what they delay was and I told him about Lucy’s absence. He decided to wait with me seeing that I am so nervous that I may just forgo the plan. Finally, I spotted the familiar blond head of my mate. As Lucy approached, I could see that she wanted to ask me something. However, I didn’t give her a chance to and grasped her hand instead. “Lucy, come with me. There’s something I want to tell you." With that, I dragged Lucy back to the guild. The guild was still sort of crowded when we arrived. I pulled Lucy to the stage of the guild like Mira suggested. This attracted the attention of everyone in the guild. “Natsu, what are you-" She opened her mouth to swali me when I knelt in front of her. I could sense that Lucy wanted to get off the stage because of the attention we are receiving. I decided to speak then. “Lucy Heartfilia, in my eyes, wewe are the most beautiful, kind and strong person I’ve ever met. I was really happy that wewe felt the same way about me. I want to thank your parents for bringing wewe to this world so that I can meet you. Your birthday is a siku that I’m thankful for because it’s the siku where wewe were born. I may not be strong enough to protect wewe from all evil in the world but I promise wewe that I will always be there for wewe and protect wewe whenever wewe need it. I will always be there for wewe when you’re sad, depressed au angry. I will always be your support and make wewe happy. I want to be the one to make wewe smile because I fell in upendo with your smile too. I will ngumi, punch anyone who makes wewe cry au hurt you. I have never loved anyone zaidi than you. That’s why, w-will wewe m-marry me?" I produced the simple white dhahabu ring with tiny jewels encrusted in it as I proposed. I waited for Lucy’s answer with hopefully eyes. Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes, She then accepted the ring and jumped onto me to give me a hug and to bury her face into my chest. Laughing, I caught her easily and hugged her to me tight. There was no need for her to answer. Her actions spoke louder. “Thank you." I whispered into my mate’s ear. “No Natsu, thank wewe for giving me the best birthday ever." She replied with her dazzling smile. The guild that had gone strangely silent during the whole incident erupted into cheers and cries of happiness. Congratulations meant for the both of us echoed throughout the guild. Finally, Lucy’s mine and she’ll never be sad on her Birthday.
