Day 2: Starry Date
Lucy sulked in her hotel room, waiting for Natsu to come back. He was getting them food, hoping to salvage the date they'd had planned.
Tonight was the night the twelve constellations of the zodiac would be at their brightest. They would all be visible, but only at a certain mountain peak. Lucy had really wanted to show Natsu. It only happened once every ten years, and who knew where they would be in another ten years.
They'd been on a job, a simple one according to the flyer. Lucy had figured they'd do it, and then head to the mountain peak from there.
That had been the plan.
It turned out the problem was bigger than that. They would need to start in the morning, and as much as Lucy wanted to have that special date with Natsu, they couldn't abandon the job and come back later. When they'd accepted the job, they'd promised to put the client first.
Lucy never broke her promises.
Natsu hadn't been overly saddened by the missed date, but he'd known how much this meant to her, so had offered to go get food and they'd have a private picnic in their room. Lucy had agreed, even if she was still said, because in the end spending time with him was always the end game. They were always together, but alone time was hard to come by. Taking missions like this, without their team, was their alone time.
There was a knock on the door, and Lucy really hoped the innkeepers weren't having a problem. Thoughts of Natsu getting into a fight came to mind, but she rejected the thought right away. He was actually tamer when it came to their solo couple missions. He was always eager to spend time with her, just the two of them, so he'd been working on using his brain instead of just acting on instinct.
She opened the door, and was surprised to find Natsu standing there. There was no food with him, but he was still grinning at her. She said, "Why'd you knock? I thought you went out to get food."
"I did," He grabbed her hand. "Come with me."
Pulling her down the hallway, Natsu came to a stop at the door at the end of the hall. She frowned, "What are we doing here? Our room is that way."
He was still grinning. "I checked us out of that one, and got us this one instead."
Was there something wrong with the previous room? She opened her mouth, but Natsu shushed her and covered her eyes with his hand. "Don't ask, just trust me."
Letting Natsu lead her into the room, Lucy could faintly smell fire. She started to imagine candles, or a fireplace. She smiled, knowing he was feeling romantic tonight if he went to all this trouble.
When he lifted his hand, and she opened her eyes, Lucy was speechless. There were no candles. There was no fireplace. On the ceiling, were tiny balls of fire, shining brightly. They were everywhere, all coming together to form different shapes.
The Zodiac Constellations.
Tears filled her eyes, her smile growing. Natsu had created the stars using his fire, and they were all in the correct order they would have been in tonight on that mountain peak. She didn't think he ever listened to her when he talked about the stars, because he was always quiet, but obviously she'd been wrong. He did listen, and he'd used what she'd told him to create this intimate setting.
It was perfect.
AN: So I got my wisdom teeth taken out, and didn't touch my computer for a good week. Plus, I'm also visiting family, and everyone was demanding my time. So sorry these are late.
Tomorrow: Cuddling
