Unicorns of all sizes and ages witness the amazing work of LaynaPanda

The first hardest part was done. Now it was time for the second hardest part-introduce his 'wife' to his father. Of course his father would enjoy and take in anyone-except prostitutes but he was sure she wasn't one-so he had nothing to worry about. But introducing a girl to your father for the first time made his heart jump around, she wasn't even his real girlfriend or anything but why was his heart acting up anyways?!

"Natsu... Uh, you okay there?"

"Yeah! Of course, Psh, why wouldn't I be?!"

"Well because you're kind of sort of killing my hand."

Natsu looked down to see his hand squeezing her hand so tightly that her hand became white. He quickly pulled back and blushed a bit, coughing awkwardly. "O-oops, sorry about that."

"Are you nervous?"

"No way! Heheh... Why would I be nervous?! Don't be stupid, Lucy."

"I mean, it's pretty normal. I'm sort of nervous to meet your father too..."

"I'm sure he'll like you. After all, you're very nice." He grinned at her making her face flush. She looked away bash fully and ignored the chuckle that came from the male. "W-well... So, what's the plan? Just go and introduce myself then we leave?"

"Pretty much. After that, we can do whatever we want."

"Easy enough." Lucy shrugged earning a nod from the male. "Leave all the talking to me, alright? Don't say something stupid and end up inviting him over or something cause, uh, my house is actually a mess right now."

"Then we can bring him to my house." Lucy froze as the words came out of her mouth as if it was something normal to say.

How could she invite two strangers to her house?! Even though they were pretending to be newlyweds... how can that just come out of her lips as if it was an everyday thing?!

Natsu also seemed a bit shocked over what she said. "R-really?"

"I-I mean... he's not even going to agree so..." Lucy coughed awkwardly, blushing a shade of pink. Natsu smiled widely and swung his arm around her shoulders, bringing her close while walking down the streets of his old neighborhood. "Wow, you're the best! Do you normally bring guys home?"

"W-what is that supposed to mean?!"

"You're carelessly bringing me over! For all you know," Natsu murmured, leaning close to her ear to whisper. "I could rape you in your house."

Lucy felt a shiver run up her spine as goose bumps broke out on her skin. She immediately shoved him away and flushed red, turning around to speed-walk away.

He was right! He barely knew him-he could do something really bad to her and wouldn't know about it till he actually does it.

"Wait-Lucy, I was just joking!" Natsu cried out in agony as he grabbed her arm, spinning her around to look at her bashful expression. "Lucy, it a joke. I would never do that to you without your consult." He said, his facial expression softening at her worried one. He pulled her into a hug and nuzzled himself into the crook of her neck, making Lucy's eyes widen in surprise. "I need you on this... please? I promise, I wouldn't do anything bad to you, I swear."

"N-Natsu, people are staring..."

"So what? We're married, remember?" A smirk crawled up his lips making Lucy gasp and push him away again. "Do not speak of our marriage like that!"

"Awe, c'mon, we also bought these fake rings to prove it." Natsu replied as he held his left hand up to show the silver band around his ring finger. Lucy looked down at her hand and saw the fake silver ring around hers, quickly hiding it behind her back before she got anymore thoughts about it. "Alright, alright! I... trust you, okay?"

"I trust you too. Now come on, we're already running late."

Natsu grabbed her hand and pulled her along the sidewalk, walking up the street to stop at a house that wasn't that big or not that small, just normal sized. It seemed very homey and lovely in Lucy's eyes, a place where it was suitable to raise kids.

Natsu tugged on Lucy's arm as he pulled her up the stairs before knocking on the door, waiting for his lousy father to come open it for them.

"So, you don't really have to do anything but speak with him. Just make up something if he asks a question about us, and don't make it seem too force."

"Hey-for your information, during my high school years, I was the lead actor in the plays!"

"Good for you, babe." He replied before the door opened and out came his red-haired father. Natsu grinned and waved at the male who curiously looked at them two, wondering who the person was who was next to his son. Natsu cleared his throat and smiled widely. "Hi dad!"

"Hi Natsu... erm, what brings you here?"

"I wanted to introduce my wife to you."

Igneel seemed a bit taken back as he looked at the blonde who blushed and waved at him, looking a bit bashful. "H-hello father..."

Igneel blinked once, twice, maybe even three times till he decided he was going crazy and slammed the door on their faces. Lucy looked completely latent as he just did that to them. Was he that surprised his one and only son was married? Did he actually think he was going to end up all alone? Lucy never felt so rejected in her life.

Lucy frowned and looked up at Natsu who also seemed a bit taken back, reaching over to grab his shoulder. "Hey Natsu? I don't think he likes us."

"Err, uh, no. I think he's just a bit surprised, let's try once more." He replied, ringing the doorbell again to have it open. "What do you want?!"

"Dad, you can't just slam the door on our faces and ignore us."

"Natsu Dragneel, if this is one of your stupid schemes again then I don't want to be part of it. How can you get this poor innocent woman as to play the role of your wife?! How can you be so brazen?!" Natsu's jaw dropped in amazement as he dropped Lucy's hand, raising his hands in anger. "How can you believe I am that shallow?!"

You are that shallow.

"Father, I am truly hurt. This is actually my real wife. Her name is Lucy."

Igneel looked at Lucy who seems to be motionless, trying her best to get herself out of the conversation. She smiled innocently at Igneel who only squinted to take a better look at her, noticing she was also too beautiful to be with someone like his son.

He turned back to Natsu and huffed in irritation. "I don't believe it-I won't believe it till I see proof. Knowing you, you probably forced her into getting married with you for some opaque reason."

Natsu scoffed and crossed his arms, looking away in disapproval. "Fine, you don't need to believe it but Lucy and I are in love!"

Lucy flushed as she felt embarrassed having him shout that out in public and in front of his father. Wasn't he embarrassed to declare his undying love for his fake wife in front of his father? And how come this guy was such a great liar?

Lucy turned her head and looked to see Igneel raise a brow at him before looking right at her. "Miss, sorry about him, but is he telling the truth?" She turned to her head and glanced at Natsu who urged her to agree with him with his facial expression, looking back to look at Igneel who waited for her answer. She nodded her head and smiled widely, grabbing Natsu's hand. "Yes, we are married, father. I'm sorry we have told you in such a short notice but Natsu wanted to get married immediately. I hope you're not angry with us,"

Natsu silently cheered to himself as Igneel believed her, looking as if he was so shocked on whatever had just happened. He smiled at her warmly before opening the door to his home, inviting the two inside for a cup of tea.

The two accepted as they entered the home of the Dragneel.

"So Lucy, where have you been and how come I've never seen you before?" Igneel questioned as he handed his son and his new daughter-in-law a cup of tea. Lucy laughed nervously as she sipped on her drink, setting the cup down. "I was recently on a business trip in America. My boss tends to give me short notices on these things... I was really heartbroken when I had to be separated from Natsu right after we gotten married!" Lucy continued as she whipped a fake-tear away.

Natsu watched in amazement on how cool and great an actor Lucy was, turning to look at his father who was also warped into Lucy's acting.

"Oh, that's so sad to hear. I hope you two spend a lot of time together now that you're back."

"Why of course. Natsu has already bought me lunch and he planned on taking me out to dinner, isn't that right, honey?" Lucy asked, smiling at her husband who jumped when he heard his name. He grinned at her and nodded in response, noticing his father was actually being fooled about this. "Why, that's lovely. I hope you two have an amazing time."

"And if you're not too busy, please feel free to stop by. I'll cook something delicious for you, father." Natsu watched as he almost choked on his own tea, noticing the sparkling look that was on his father's face. He looked so happy that it made him want to burst out laughing.

"Lucy, you are just so perfect! How come you chosen my son as your husband?"

"Hey-!"

"Well, it wasn't an easy choice." Lucy laughed as she placed a palm by her cheek. "He wasn't very convincing but he is a sweet man. I fell in love with him after he sweet-talked me and took me on many adventures. I always admired guys who liked taking risks. Natsu here had changed my life." Lucy smiled as she turned and winked at Natsu who blushed uncharacteristically. He looked away and cleared his throat, silently sipping on the tea his father prepared.

"So Lucy, are you planning on having any kids?"

Natsu immediately choked and spit his drink out after hearing his father speak, Lucy also feeling a huge blush creep up her neck as if he said something naughty. The couple both blushed and stared at Igneel who only raised a brow at them.

"D-dad! I think we should go! Lucy is tired, very tired! She came back from her business trip not too long ago! She needs sleep!"

"O-oh, I see. How selfish of me, sorry, I didn't realize you were feeling tired."

"I-it's fine!" Lucy laughed nervously, setting her cup down on his coffee table. Natsu quickly stood up and grabbed her hand, bowing at his father. "Thanks for the invite, we'll be leaving now!"

"T-Thank you for the tea!" Lucy shouted before Natsu dragged her out and slammed the door along the way. Igneel stood there in compete silence, trying to get what had just happened through his head.

"Ow, Natsu, let go! What's wrong with you, why are you so jumpy?!"

"No reason!" He shouted nervously, letting her arm go. He left out sigh and stood there, rubbing the sweat off his forehead. "Where'd you learn to act like that?"

"I told you I got lead roles in my high school plays!"

"I wasn't really paying attention but, they were worth it. Good job, Luce! You passed!" Natsu shouted in excitement, giving her two thumbs up. Lucy scoffed and crossed her arms, having a smug look on her face. "It's my charisma, without it, you would have been fucked."

"I'm glad I picked you, you're amazing. Why didn't I know you earlier?"

"I don't know. How long you lived here?"

"Forever! I went to pre-school in Fiore care!" Lucy gasped as she looked at Natsu in disbelief. "What?! Are you serious, me too! What class?"

"I was with Makarov! He was the best!"

"No way! We were in the same class!"

The couple laughed as they started to talk about their childhood years, wondering why and how they didn't meet any sooner than before.

-X-

Lucy unlocked her apartment door as she allowed Natsu to enter her place, the male entering without a second thought. He was amazed on how cozy it felt, laughing at all her pink belongings. "They all look like my hair!"

"I like the color pink."

"Even before you knew me?" Natsu smirked, trying to trick her onto saying she's been liking pink ever since they've known each other since pre-school. But since it was a long time ago, they wouldn't have remembered unless something very memorable happened. They only happened to forget each other since Lucy went to private school instead of public just like him and the others. And all Natsu remembered from pre-school was getting paint all over this blonde girl's hair which maybe was Lucy.

"Make yourself comfortable but not too comfortable. Do you want something to eat or drink?" Lucy asked as she took her shoes off, placing her purse on the sofa. Natsu went to her couch and lied down on it, staring up at her ceiling. "Whatever you have is fine, I'll eat anything."

"If you say so." Lucy said before disappearing into the kitchen. She left Natsu alone who lied there, watching the ceiling as if he's never seen one before.

After a while, he got up and looked around for something interesting, walking towards her chimney to see she had pictures of herself along with friends and family. The first picture was a picture of her in her school uniform. She looked very young and guessing from the picture, she looked as if she was just starting middle school. The picture next to it was in a golden frame, the picture inside the frame consisting a little young Lucy, a woman who looked like Lucy, and a male whom he assumed was her father. The last picture was a picture of her and her friends, some of them which he already knew.

Natsu went on over to Lucy's bookshelf to see she collected and owned a whole bunch of books, looking to the last row on the shelf to see she also collected movies. He skimmed through them all till finally; he realized she had the same movie taste as he did. Most of them were romances and he didn't really like those chick flicks but a lot of them were also animated. He loved animated movies!

And car movies. And dragon movies. And everything else but those lovey dovey ones.

The rosy-haired male grabbed the ultimate favorite movie of his-How to Train your Dragon-of course, and popped open the DVD case. He took the CD and turned her TV on, excited to watch the movie for the billionth time in his life. He was super excited for the sequel to come out and maybe when it does; he'll ask Lucy to go with her.

"What are you doing touching my TV? You're going to annihilate my whole electronic devise if you touch it!"

"Oh please. I'm just trying to play How to Train your Dragon," Natsu scoffed as he placed the CD inside before standing up. He turned around to see Lucy changed into something more comfortable and something that shows a bit more skin. He smirked as he pointed at her short shorts and t-shirt look. "You sure you should be showing that much skin around me?"

"Oh whatever, go fuck yourself. It's my house-if you don't like it, you can leave."

"Hey, I never said I didn't like it." Natsu said before grabbing the Ritz crackers and settling down on the couch. He opened the box to start munching on the salty snack, looking to see Lucy scowling at him. "Can you please scoot over cause I want to sit too?"

"The floors open."

Lucy growled and glared making Natsu quickly pull his feet out the way. "On second thought, I think we have enough space for the both of us."

"Thought so," Lucy said before sitting herself down. She sat down next to Natsu and grabbed the pink fluffy pillow, hugging it against her chest. "Hey! Don't eat all the food-it's for the movie!"

"Go make some more! This is mine!"

"You greedy pig! This is what I get for allowing you to come over?!"

Natsu stuck his tongue out at the blonde who only gawked, smacking the face of the male with the pillow in her arms. "You're very rude!"

"Whatever, weirdo."

Lucy huffed in irritation before getting up to go getsomething from her kitchen. Natsu hoped it wasn't some kind of knife to kill him with since he was acting like such a butthole to him but when she returned with some more junk foods, he only just smiled and scooted closer to her. And to think they were strangers just a couple hours ago but she already met his father and they were already coming over to each other houses hanging out.

It felt as if they've been friends since the beginning. After all, they are married now.

-X-

Natsu watched in purse amusement as Lucy started to cry softly right beside him, the two now so close that their skins were touching and his arm was around her shoulders. He watched this movie too many times to get upset about main character but just watching Lucy cry about it almost made him laugh.

"Hey Lucy, you know it's not that sad."

"I-it is! I mean... he's so cute and he lost his leg and-oh my gosh." Lucy sobbed as she whipped the tears away. Natsu chuckled as he pulled her closer, grinning from ear to ear. "Luce, you weirdo."

"Shut up and pass me the tissue box." Lucy whimpered pointing at the object that was on the table. Natsu grabbed it and handed it to her, blanching as she blew his nose right next to him. "Natsu, when are you leaving?"

"Ouch, that's the first thing that comes out of your mouth as soon as this movie ends? Harsh, Lucy, harsh."

"I was just wondering! It's already seven..." Lucy mumbled as she noticed the time on her wall. Natsu stood as he stretched, making a sound of pleasure as the muscles and bones cracked. "Mmngh, I'll leave if you want me to."

"W-well... it's not like I'm forcing you to... I'm just worried about your well-being," Lucy flushed, trying to make it sound cool and collected. Natsu laughed as he shook his head, looking at the blushing girl in amusement. "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm just going to go home now. Thanks for having me over and helping me out today, see you whenever." Natsu announced before walking on over to her door to go put his shoes back on.

Lucy started to argue with herself in her mind to keep him for a little longer since he was good company and she was kind of lonely at her house. But then again, this was just some random stranger, what if something bad happened?

"Goodnight Luce," He said, opening her door to step out. Lucy quickly jumped up and screamed, "Wait!" before running on over to the door to slam it back closed. Natsu jumped in his spot over the sudden event, looking at the blonde who looked up at him in embarrassment. "Y-you want to stay for dinner?"

"Dinner?"

"Uh, yeah, because, uh, I ordered pizza! And... I don't want to have leftovers and I can't eat a whole two boxes of pizza by myself and... Please?" Lucy asked, struggling to find the right words to say. Natsu stared at the girl he found too cute to reject, a smile coming up to his handsome face. "Sure! Why not!"

"Great! Now, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Uh, can you order some pizza?"

I cri because this book is sooooooo good .... Anyway.......

MAY UNICORNS AND JOY BE WITH YOU !!!
