Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail
Laxus was fuming now… but Lucy gently put her hand on Laxus' arms… reminding him that she needed him…
Asher bowed… "Please!"
Laxus and Lucy stared wide-eyed at the pink haired boy…. Max shocked the most… his mouth agape…. "WHAT!? NO! NEVER!"
"Max…" Lucy said once.. with a glare… Max remained silent…. He didn't want to be in trouble next…
"So…. Asher… Why do you want Lily as your mate?" Lucy asked..
"Wait wait wait.. no… hold on.. we are not having this conversation.. I"
"Laxus…" Lucy said with an irritated voice…
"No.. I will not negotiate on this one Lucy… this is Lily we are talking about! Not some curtains or bed sheets!" his precious daughter… his one and only princess…
Asher smiled… as he continued to bow…
"I love her." he said softly.. Lucy and Laxus' eyes widened… Asher stood up straight…
"I love the way she smiles.. the way she laughs… the way she always cares for everyone… how enthusiastic she gets about our guild… how loyal she is… how warm she is to everyone… the way she eats.. the way she bobs her head when she's sleepy… I think she's beautiful… even when she cries…" Asher said boldly…
Lucy's eyes teared….. so did Lisanna's…. everyone shocked.. Asher was so bold… and.. not… dense like Natsu at all!
"I've loved her for a while.. I've always loved her.. and I realized on this past mission.. I cannot fathom any other man holding her… and I don't want to live without her… I'll protect her… with all my strength… I'll be her pillar… and her fire… to keep her warm.. throughout all our future trials…."
Asher looked up at Laxus… both men staring each other down… "I am my own…. Master Laxus….. I will make mistakes.. but I will learn from them…. But one mistake I won't make…. Is to let her go….I won't let her fall"
Laxus, Lucy, Natsu froze…. And the rest of the guild as they made the connection…
How did he know… they all thought…
"So please…. May I have Lily as my mate?" Asher said politely.
"Yes!" Lucy said warmly.
"NO!" Laxus said quick and coldly.
Lucy and Laxus glared at each other…. Both not budging on their decisions..
"Go…"
Asher looked towards Max…. "Max?"
"Go get her….." Max said softly… as he exhaled a deep breath of irritation..
"You're…" Asher said with wide-eyes…
"MAX!" Laxus yelled…
"I'll deal with my father… so go… but let me warn you…. If you ever make Lily cry… I swear… both my father and I.. WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!"
Asher nodded.. and he ran out the guild doors…
"ASSHHERR!" Laxus roared…
"OH calm down Dad… you knew they were mates from the beginning…" Max said rubbing his temples with his fingers…
"WHAT?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!?" Lucy looked in shock at Laxus….
Laxus cringed.. and grumbled loudly… as he glared at his son.. who betrayed him….
Max smiled warmly and walked towards the Natsu…
"Well.. Uncle Natsu…. I guess… We'll be becoming family" Max said with an outstretched hand.. for a handshake..
"I NEVER GAVE THEM MY APPROVAL!" Laxus roared… as everyone burst into laughter…
Natsu took Max' hand… and they shook warmly… both smiling… Lisanna crying with joy…
Mira keeling over with happiness as one of her matchmaking couples for their children had finally come to fruition…
"It's time to PARTTYYY!" Master Makarov yelled! "TO ASHER AND LILY!"
"ASHER AND LILY!" everyone yelled..
"NO!" Laxus yelled…Lucy just giggled and shook her head... one day... he'll let her go...
Gajeel sighed with relief… "At least Amelie won't ever end up with Flame Brain's kid…"
"Gajeel!" Levy yelled at him.. she punched his arm…
"Gihi!"
"Oh well… we can always set Amelie up with Max…and then I'll be in-laws with LU-CHAN!" Levy had hearts in her eyes…
Amelie blushed….
"OH NO!... NO!" Gajeel yelled.. as he wrapped his arms around Amelie.. protectively… "SHE'S NEVER GETTING MARRIED.. SHE'S GOING TO BE WITH ME FOREVER!
"DAD!" Amelie struggled in his grasps… she prayed that a blue haired mage wasn't watching the embarrassing scene…
Levy sweat dropped…. Dragon slayers… and their over protectiveness….even her son was cringing…
All the while.. a dark haired boy watched with love struck eyes…. towards the blue haired girl…. Juvia having noticed her son's lovesickness… began to have hearts in her eyes.. when she found out who the lucky girl was that stole her son's heart… beautiful.. Amelie…. Gajeel's daughter… future in-laws!? She thought..
"so.. I guess.. we are going to be related…" Isabella said as she walked up to Max… she blushed a tinge…
"Uhm.. yea.. I guess.." Max said.. nervously.. a pink hue on his face as well….
Lisanna and Mira watched the two with a smirk… oh… young love…. matchmaker mode... ON!
The two were lying on a blanket.. sprawled on top of a grassy hill…
"Laxus….."
"Hm….."
"When you marked me… did you know it would save me?"
"No…"
"Then you marked me not knowing that it would.. I could've died and left you all alone… without a mate…."
"Yea…."
"wha…wh…."
"Shh…. Mrs. Dreyar… I marked you… because I did not want to live with the guilt… that I never took the chance to mark you as mine… to not have you.."
He looked at her.. Lucy was lying next to him.. she was using his arm as a pillow.. his arms wrapped around her…
" I would rather risk my life to be your mate for a second… than not have been at all…" he smiled warmly.. and he kissed her forhead…
Lucy smiled… "I'm glad… you did…Thank you.."
"Mm..." Laxus smiled..
Natsu was sitting on the bench with Lisanna… Lucy and Laxus on the bench in the opposite row… they watched their children…. Walk down the isle… everyone cheering… and filing out after them…
Natsu stayed behind…
"Natsu?" Lisanna said with a confused face..
"I just need a moment.. go on ahead" Natsu said smiling…
"Okay.. but hurry on out okay?" she said as she walked down the isle.. after the new wedded couple… she smiled thinking that Natsu probably needed some time.. to let it sink... their son was all grown up.. tears of joy... were threatening to come out of her eyes...
He watched a beautifully white wedding dressed Lily.. holding tightly to black suited Asher arm.. both smiling widely at each other in pure bliss.. a smile crept on his face… Asher looked just like himself… and Lily looked just like Lucy… it was just like how he imagined it would be… how he and she would look like... at their own...
"At least our children… got to live the dream we wanted… Maybe… in another world… in a different life… you and I…. would have had our happy ending…. Just like you wanted it…. Princess… and the fire breathing dragon… with shiny armor..." Natsu chuckled to himself...

"Luce…."
.
.
"Hey… Luce…"
"What…."
"I love you…. You know that right?"
"yea yea…. I know…"
"That's all you have to say?!"
"tch…. What a needy boyfriend…"
"you… sniffle sniffle… don't love me?"
"agh you big crybaby!"
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…"
"UGH!... Iloveyoutoo…" she muttered softly..
"What did you say? I couldn't hear you…"
"I SAID I LOVE YOU TOO YOU BIG CRYING BABY!"
The man quickly grabbed her face and kissed her confidently.. quite different from his normal persona… she sank into bliss from the kiss… turns out… Lucy Ashley could be tamed with a kiss.. quite a trick he had learned… he gently parted his lips from hers… and smiled.. she smiled back… he put his arms around her… and she hugged him tightly….
"CAUGHT YA!" Wendy appeared from behind them… "HAHA I KNEW IT YOU BOTH LLLLLIKKEEE EACH OTHER!"
"WENDY!" Lucy Ashley cracked her knuckles.. before.. Nastu grabbed onto Lucy's hand.. and pulled her into a run… he dragged Lucy along.. running and laughing… away from the rest of the guild who were gathering to see what seemed the impossible… Lucy Ashley.. and Natsu Dragion… on a date...
The couple ran off.. hand in hand… laughing and smiling… towards a bright future… even if magic had disappeared.. even though their whole world had changed… all they needed was each other.. that's all they ever wanted…
