Day 8: Aurora

Lucy shivered, wondering why her boyfriend was dragging her out in the cold in the middle of the night on their mission in the mountains. She was freezing, had no idea where he was, and was currently freezing her tits off. She scowled, glad she had dressed warmly but unfortunately, it wasn't helping.

There was a sudden huff behind her, and she was engulfed in an embrace that was several times larger than she was used too. She snorted. "Hey snake breath, why did you call me out here?"

Cobra snorted, "Hang on Bright Eyes, follow me."

Lucy rolled her eyes blowing on her gloved hands, wishing that her warm breath would help her out. The effort was futile.

Cobra snorted, "I'll let you in my coat after we get there. You'll like this."

They got further from the town and the stars became brighter. Lucy smiled as she viewed the night sky, reveling in the light from the stars.

Cobra stopped her, opening a few of his coats and pulling her in. He bent his knees, pulling her down onto a blanket he had put down for them. Or rather what looked to be a couple of blankets.

"Plastic underneath to keep them from getting wet. It's starting."

Lucy looked up, snuggling up against her boyfriend. He pointed up, and she looked up to gasp. The aurora shone brightly, filling her with awe, the cold forgotten.

"It's beautiful."

"Can't see it in the big cities," Cobra said, holding her tight to his body. She smiled, snuggling in. She hoped that Loke wouldn't ruin the moment.

Of course it was if the thought had summoned him.

She could feel Cobra's growl as the lion constellation approached.

Loke gave her a hurt look, "If you wanted to see this princess, why didn't you call us?"

Lucy rolled her eyes, "Because I wanted to see it with Erik. What's the problem pussy cat?"

Loke snorted at the nickname. She only used it when she was annoyed with him, but it also caused Cobra to ease up on the growling as he listened to her soul humming. Loke felt the green monster rise within, wishing he could hear his mistress's soul like the poison dragon slayer. He bet it was a beautiful thing.

"It is," Cobra snarked, single eye glinting amusedly.

Loke made a face at him as Lucy tried to give Cobra a questioning glance over her shoulder. He directed her gaze upward where the aurora was beginning to change colors slightly.

Loke sighed and made a motion with his hand, and suddenly Aries was there, giggling, and they were surrounded by soft, warm, pink wool.

"Have fun!" she giggled disappearing again, taking Loke with her.

Lucy snuggled in, feeling a warmth growing in her chest as she continued to watch nature's show.

"Thank you," she whispered, and he knew she was fingering her keys.

He nuzzled the back of her neck again, grinning when she shivered, and it wasn't from the cold.

She sighed, leaning back against his chest further so he couldn't do that again. He huffed, looking back up at the night sky, appreciating the beauty. He nodded, pulling something out of his pocket. He put it in front of her face, waiting for her to focus on it.

"Erik?"

He grinned, opening the box to reveal a ring, and she gasped.

"Lucy," he rumbled. He knew what he wanted, knew what he wanted to ask, but he was having trouble getting it out.

Her soul went quiet as she lifted her arms out of his jacket and through the wool to grasp it.

"Oh, Erik."

"W-would-"

"Yes," she whispered, "Oh, Erik, yes!"

He grinned, maneuvering so that he could take the glove off her left hand, and place the ring on the appropriate finger. She giggled as she studied the ring for a moment. Then she shivered, pulling the glove back on and pulling their hands below the wool. She turned, somehow, to give Cobra a passion filled kiss, which he returned whole heartedly.

Erza scowled as she banged on Lucy's door, "Lucy we have to go. The mission won't wait."

She heard a groan and frowned, but patiently waited until Lucy answered her door. Her eyes widened in shock when Lucy finally answered, nose runny and red, obviously sick with a fever. "Sorry, Erza," the blonde croaked, "I'll get ready right now."

Erza didn't even notice the ring, "I'll get Wendy, you get to bed."

Lucy coughed, nodding, and shuffling back to the room. Erza was quick to bring Wendy, ignoring Gray and Natsu when they asked where Lucy was.

Erza shoved Wendy into the room, following close behind. Wendy was quick to use her healing magic on Lucy, listening closely as Lucy whispered something to her. Wendy's eyes widened before nodding, "After you. Don't talk. You'll be better by tomorrow."

Lucy gave her a weak thumbs up, and Wendy pushed Erza out of the room with a giggle. Erza frowned when the little girl knocked on Cobra's door, calling out softly, "Cobra, it's Wendy."

There was a grunt from the other side of the door, and Wendy walked in. She walked out a few moments later, cheery. "Come on, Erza. We have a mission."

Erza frowned, "But what about-?"

"Lucy will be fine. She and Cobra just went out to see the aurora last night and caught a cold."

"I didn't know dragon slayer's could catch colds," Gray muttered, coming up behind Erza.

"Apparently, they can," Jellal murmured, having exited his own room to hear the news. Erza looked at her not so secret boyfriend and scowled, still confused.

Wendy giggled, "They'll be fine with each other. Let's go finish the mission."

Lucy mumbled something incoherent as Cobra crawled into bed with her, not disturbing her sleep. He nuzzled the back of her neck, breathing deep. He fell asleep next to his fiancée, glad that she was in his life.

Ok last prompt. Hope you enjoyed.
