A collection of 5 sentence drabbles for the May event @fortheloveofnaluevents
Natsu slowly nodded and said, “Sounds fake, but okay.” He grabbed Lucy around the waist and dipped her backward, giving her a deep, scorching kiss.
Lucy’s hands flailed and then sank into his wild pink hair as she moaned wantonly with enjoyment.
Natsu broke the kiss and stared stupefied at Lucy’s dreamy expression. “Wait, did you say ‘go ahead and kiss me’ or ‘go ahead, you’ll miss me’?!”
I need this in my life!

Beautifully Deadly (NaLu) #6
Chapter 6
Vampire/Supernatural AU
Rating: M
Summary: “Supposedly an entire kingdom disappeared when their queen went beyond the borders, remember?” When Natsu Dragneel leaves the kingdom to investigate mysterious disappearances, he finds a much bigger adventure than he was bargaining for, including a beautiful vampire hidden away in an ancient castle. She has little to say about her past, or why she’s locked away. Who did this to her? What has she been feeding on? One thing Natsu knows for sure that she is dangerous… Could she have something to do with the disappearances? “I’m sorry, Natsu, but I’m just so thirsty.”
Chapters: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6

AN: Hello! so this chapter ended up being cut a bit short- just because there was too much I wanted to cram in and ended up deciding (to avoid waffling in this chapter!) that all the other things can wait until later. Thanks to that, this chapter is a little bit shorter than the last one! I hope you all still enjoy, and let me know what you think!
As always, shout out to my Betas @mannyegb and @bmarvels !

Thank you!!
There are certain beings within this universe that choose to remain anonymous. Some have existed as long as time and fallen to obscurity.
One individual prefers to be this way, it makes his work much easier. It helps him avoid awkward situations. Before, when his existence had been caught wind of, he found himself approached with requests about fate. Some asked when their time would be, others asked what the cost would be to avoid ever meeting him again.
They called him Death. He was the very first Reaper. He had a name, reserved only for the few that truly piqued his interest. One such in particular was a blonde woman, tainted by a cursed existence which should not have been hers to bear. She had not sensed what he was, or maybe she just did not care.
He had been perplexed by her. His dark onyx eyes had observed her with curiosity. She had been in a rush, he had dryly joked ‘in a rush to meet your death’. The woman had held his gaze with honey gold eyes, and for an instant, he felt that desire in her. That desire to escape.
So, he gave her aid. He pointed her in the direction of shelter. Offered her… provisions of a certain kind. She reluctantly accepted, though never asked where he had gotten them.
Now, he wondered how she was, his mind absently wandering. He had not felt the tug of her soul, beckoning him to take her to the other side. Perhaps she would still be in her shelter.
How long would she survive without feeding, he wondered. Would she ever truly understand what this fate was that had fallen upon her?
He recalled their last meeting, unbidden. She had stood before him, her fists trembling at her sides. Her eyes bleeding crimson, drowning in darkened shadows. She was desperate.
‘Please.’
He understood what she was asking. He reached into his dark robes, presenting a pail to her. She took it with greedy hands.
'You should follow your heart’ his advice slipped out. She reminded him of another blonde he had known, so very long ago. The deep recesses of his heart ached at the sorrow and pain on her features. He could at least offer her some salvation. He decided then, as she met his gaze unafraid, to gift her his name.
'You can call me Zeref.’
.
Lucy began to descend the stairwell, intending to get a basin of clean water for the blue feline. The cat himself purred happily in her arms and rubbing his wet fur against her. She wrinkled her nose.
‘Just what kind of trouble did you get yourself into before finding me?’ She asked. He meowed at her again and raised his paw to lick it clean. He smelled bad. The odour from his cerulean fur was like putrid fish and pond-weed.
Lucy hoped that she still had some of her good soap leaves left over to cleanse his stench. She really did have to ponder what he had done to find himself so damp and smelly.
The small blue cat, however, was already plotting his next escapade with the strange fish lady.
.
Juvia, meanwhile, was not having such a good evening.
She had only returned to her waters the day prior, and the weather had been most unpleasant, though for once that was not by her doing. The dusklight earlier had been irresistible as it shone on the lake’s surface. She had indulged herself, lazily paddling and creating ripples across the surface, flicking her tail languidly to create waves. She had sighed, closing her eyes and floating through the water.
What she had not expected, however, was the almighty chomp of teeth on her teal-scaled tail. She had squawked her displeasure, her leisurely swim disrupted. Her eyes snapped open as her torso dropped below the surface, her perfect balance ruined. Her tail flailed ungracefully above water, the biter temporarily dislodged. She glared, bursting above the surface once more to give the cretin a piece of her mind!
She whipped her head around, azure locks flicking over her shoulder. She had heard what she swore was giggling above her. Her head snapped up. A blue-furred cat floated on fluffy white wings, he held paws over his mouth, his eyes were wide and watching her like she was his next meal.
‘I am not dinner!’ She exclaimed, her face burning red with anger. She yelped when the cat flew at her again with his mouth wide. The mermaid had ducked, and eyes flashing blue, heaved her tail, and hurled an enormous portion of water towards the cat instead.
That had been that. Her assailant had yowled his displeasure and shook out his wings before hissing and fleeing.
Now, Juvia remained sour-faced, floating on her back. There was a large crescent shape left behind on her otherwise pristine scales.
She sighed, still frustrated about having her pleasant night disrupted. Gazing at the darkening sky, she could see the waning crescent moon. Although not a full moon, it still entranced her. She felt eased into calmness and opened her mouth to sing.
Singing was always her solace when she felt upset. Tonight was no different.
Further away, unbeknown to Juvia, a man had caught a glimpse of blue descending the sky and grinned to himself. He had to be on the right track. He continued his course in the direction of the lake, frost crackling underfoot.
.
The Fire Dragon King was observing the Titania at work. He couldn’t decide if he was watching meticulous planning or organised chaos unfold before him. But the distress on the Valkyries’ face was clear.
Gray had flown the coop. A day or two ago in fact. All of her plans had been thrown into disarray and she needed to reconvene. As such, her troops were stuck in limbo.
Erza had needed him here. Sure, part of it was to stop his magic destabilising further. But his command over ice would have been essential to protect the kingdom. She had to change her plans.
As such, before her stood Lyon Vastia and Ultear Milkovich. They were both close with Gray; Lyon had been apprenticed to Ur alongside him and Ultear was Ur’s daughter. As such, the 3 of them were like family. They had certainly mourned for Ur together.
Erza studied the two of them carefully. Like Gray, they were gifted with the Ice Element. Lyon was a Yeti, his mop of snowy white hair and piercing eyes giving him away, despite using his magic to appear human-shaped. His ice magic worked with nature itself, allowing him to form ice that looked like other creatures and behaved as though alive. He had sought Ur out to train him to be stronger when he was just a small boy.
Her violet orbs drifted over to Ultear, who stood with a shoulder towards the Red-head. Her skin was pale, white enough to camouflage her with snow, if not for her ebony dark hair.
She was a rare creature known as a Yuki-Onna, a Snow Girl. She was usually a recluse, often omitting her presence at the castle in favour of the written word. She had always had a strong affinity with the Ice Element, her mother had been a Khione, daughter to the North Wind, and Deity of Snow.
Ultear’s state of being was partially her inheritance of the ice element but she ultimately had her awakening as a Yuki-Onna after almost losing her life to the cold. As a young child, she had been foolish, venturing out into a snowstorm and had fallen dreadfully ill. Ur had used her powers, smiling as she accepted this fate, and taken the cold threatening her daughters’ life into her own body.
Ultear would always remember the dark-haired man, how he smiled gently at her, his presence ethereal, time stopping all around them both. The way his onyx eyes met her sadly, she was so young.
Then suddenly he was fading from view, time sluggishly restarting around her. He smiled at her again, this time with warmth. He turned away from her, leaving her arc of time as a parting gift.
She regained consciousness soon after to Ur’s loving smile, brushing the hair from her face. She understood years later her mother’s sacrifice. By taking that cold into her body, it had slowly begun to freeze her from the inside. It seemed ironic, Ultear thought, that her mother was killed by the same element that she had mastered.
Her piercing crimson eyes opened, and she turned to face the armour-clad Valkyrie regarding her. She held the woman in high mutual respect and currently shared her irritation with a certain ice demon.
Ultear, temporarily foregoing her irritation, decided to get to the point, ‘What do you need me to do, Titania?’
Erza nodded, silently agreeing they could get mad at Gray later. ‘I normally wouldn’t ask this of you, Ultear. I know how you prefer your solitude, and your charms have always proved invaluable. But right now, I need you as close to the perimeter as possible. You have mastery over ice that we have not known since Ur was still with us. I need you to build ice walls if you see any hostiles approaching, and if you have to, freeze them with your ice, or Arc of Time. Just keep them out.’ Erza instructed and Ultear thought for a moment, before nodding once.
Erza turned to the sullen Yeti beside the Yuki-Onna. ‘Lyon.’ He made a noise, signalling she had his attention.
‘Your frozen beasts are perfect for patrolling. Keep them divided if you can manage, but position some at the weak points of the border, and reserve some for the palace.’
‘Yes, Captain.’ He said in a low voice and she dismissed them both with a smile of thanks.
Igneel still remained atop the stairs overlooking the exchange, his hands clasped behind his back. Deep lines of worry were drawn across his face. His ears twitched when he heard heavy footfalls approaching.
His features relaxed into a smirk, ‘Metallicana, It’s not very often you join me up here.’ He turned towards his companion, holding out a hand in greeting.
Metallicana boomed a short laugh, clasping his hand warmly and slapping his shoulder. The man was decked out in studded leather, with several piercings adoring his features. He had salt-and-pepper coloured hair, which pointed wildly in several directions. He was a Dragon, similar to Igneel, but unlike him, Metallicana was not a pureblood nor a Drake.
‘Igneel! I wanted to make sure you were keeping busy!’ His voice was gravelly as he spoke, ‘I did wonder if you had any updates about my Son.’ he finished in a quieter voice.
Gajeel was still considered part of the nest, even though he had taken his Mother’s wolf heritage. The draconic blood in him was still prevalent in his unusual diet of raw iron.
Metallicana missed him dreadfully. He had also come to speak to Igneel to offer words of empathy. After all, Natsu had gone now too.
The Fire Dragon King sighed heavily. ‘I’m afraid not, old friend. I suppose Natsu wanted to go after him.’
The iron-studded man closed his eyes and sighed softly, musing. He squeezed Igneel’s shoulder in his hand and opened his eyes again to meet his gaze.
‘I am sure they’ll return when they’re ready. Though, that may take longer than either of us hope.’
Igneel nodded. They had to believe that.
His attention was stolen by insistent, frustrated mewling. He titled his head, searching for the cause of the noise. Metallicana raised a studded eyebrow, his features perplexed and leaned sideways to peer around the King.
A small white cat was hissing furiously, spitting and screeching as she leapt around one of the wagons. She batted and slashed her claws on the tarpaulin covering the cart.
Igneel watched the cat with knowing eyes, a feeling of conflict bubbling in his chest. He didn’t have long to ponder though, as Metallicana asked ‘Isn’t that Carla?’ rubbing his chin, ‘She’s always with Grandeeny’s daughter, Wendy, right?’
Igneel rumbled a ‘Yes’, under his breath, already moving to step towards the irritated cat. Carla was still hissing vehemently when Igneel reached her. The snowy cat startled, fluffy wings bursting from her back and she leapt upwards, turning to face him as she did.
Carla meowed loudly in his face and fluttered down, rubbing herself along his leg. He crouched to scratch her gently behind her ear, he flicked his gaze upwards to the cart.
‘You can come out now, Wendy.’
A small whine came from the back of the wagon and the tarpaulin shifted slightly. Shocking blue hair framed her face, large chocolate coloured eyes looking owlishly out at him. Carla yowled indignantly, Wendy raising a hand apologetically, silently begging her to be quiet.
Igneel kept his voice low, hoping to soothe the girl, ‘Your mother would be worried if she knew you were out here. She’s making medical drafts with your Aunt Porlyusica. Why don’t you go find her? I’m sure they could use your help.’
She gnawed on her lower lip, briefly averting her gaze and glancing back at him, nodding shyly. He offered her his hand, helping her out the wagon.
The iron dragon watched with bemusement, catching the young girl’s eye when she was back on solid ground, chuckling as she flushed with embarrassment and jogged towards the castle, Carla hot on her heels.
‘She’s certainly free-spirited.’ Metallicana chuckled, his eyes following her retreating form. 'But then, Wyverns always are.’
Igneel cocked his head at the other man, and with a half-shrug responded with
‘They’re both still Draconic, and as such valuable to the nest’ he smiled and gestured towards Erza. 'I need to speak with her, but I shall meet you in the study after.’
Metallicana returned his smile, and with a nod and wave, he returned to the castle.
Igneel breathed deep, his attention turning towards the Valkyrie. He wanted to know her plan of action, and gift to her the lacrima he’d been holding onto.
It was a simplified communication lacrima, part of a pair, and could not be detected by other lacrimas of the same variety. The pair specialised in exchanging data on the others’ environments and the respective holder’s thoughts and feelings, including magic energy transfers. Essentially, Igneel could scout and aid them from the castle.
He approached her and cleared his throat.
.
Elsewhere, Jellal was becoming anxious. He was sealed in a guest room at Avatar, and whilst he’d been told he could move freely, he knew that wasn’t the case. His magic was pulsating within him, fluctuating with his temperament, and purposefully reminding those nearby of his power.
It was also acting as a sonar, alerting him who was in close proximity. He needed to concentrate. Jellal Perched himself on the bed, elbows on his knees, resting his chin behind interlaced fingers. He sought out the bond between him and Erza, the one created when he first began to watch over her as a guide; the same magical bond that altered dramatically when the two of them became lovers. It was like feeling along an invisible thread, and gazing through a keyhole at the other side. He could sense her alertness. Igneel had gifted her something, he noted, feeling the orb shape in her hands. She was tilting her head now, feeling him tugging on that thread. He could see her in his mind’s eye, fuzzy, but becoming clearer the more he focused on her.
Her beautiful scarlet hair whipped around her face, her sharp eyes scanning her immediate vicinity. He could have gazed into those pools of violet until the end of his days if she’d have only let him. Those eyes settled, seemingly meeting his own.
The Angel smiled softly at her, his fingers unconsciously moved to stroke her cheek, as if he were truly with her. Her own usually stern expression softened, his name falling from her lips.
‘I don’t have much time. You can find our location here.’
He had always found this method of communication unusual. It wasn’t quite telepathy. It was something akin to a data transfer, he supposed. He made sure she knew his location, how he’d found it and even the coordinates he’d memorised earlier.
Suddenly, his magic spiked violently. His image of her face rippled. She nodded in understanding. He wanted to reach for her. She knew. Instead, he simply whispered ‘I love you’ and abruptly severed their connection.
Mentally realigning himself always felt like awakening from a dream. It was disorienting to say the least. But Jellal was used to the strange sensation. His magic demanded attention for more urgent matters.
His cyan coloured eyes snapped open and swept to the door. His magic was reacting furiously. Someone was approaching. He tilted his head back, sitting up and straightening his shoulders. His eyes narrowed. He urged his magic into a calmer state. He allowed it to still spill from his person, as though it was lurking just beneath the surface.
Jellal could sense the approaching hostility. It seemed he’d failed to avoid raising suspicion. There was a knock on the door.
Do this all the time!
Yes I do!

My Treasure
Day 4- Treasure @fortheloveofnaluevents
With a shaky breath, Natsu tentatively presses his lips against the side of her neck, her fingers curling around his arms that hold her as she exposes more of her neck to him with a soft hum, “Natsu..”
Hearing his name like that on her lips encourages him to tighten his hold around her waist and deepen his kiss along her neck, leaving a trail of sparks in his wake that lights a fire deep within her.
Her breathing picks up at his touch as she turns around to capture his lips with hers, invading his mouth with her tongue as she starts taking control; her hands gripping his spiked locks bringing him in as his hands squeeze her hips tightly keeping her close.
She pulls back briefly for them to catch their breath, leaning their heads against each other, “You got quite a deal with the prize you won,” Lucy says between breaths trying to get her pounding heart back under control.
Natsu blushes as his hand cups her chin, making her look at him, his gaze intense as he fights off his natural reluctance to be bold and brazen when he’s not behind the wheel, “You are my true prize, my treasure, Lucy.”

Dear friends of Tumblr,
Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.
Lucky in Love

“But why do you care so much about what me an’ Lucy are gonna do tomorrow?” Natsu took another long slurp of his beer as Mirajane polished the bar. “It’s just another day.”
“Just another day?” Mira tilted her head and looked owlishly at the dragon slayer. “How can you say that? It’s Valentine’s Day!”
“Yeah?”
Happy dropped beside Natsu and sighed. “Ne, Natsu! It’s a super important day for couples!”
“Couple of what?” Natsu blinked at his exceed and then Mira. “Why would it matter to Lucy what happens tomorrow? And why do you guys care so much? What are you gonna do tomorrow, Mira?”
“We’re not discussing me and Laxus. I’m trying to help you, Natsu.”
Happy looked around the guild hall. “I’m going to get Charle a fish and serenade her.”
“So I was right.” Natsu laughed, slapping his knees. “It is another regular day. Happy, you try to give Charle fish every day.”
Looking affronted, Happy pouted. “But it’ll be wrapped in red ribbon and imma give her a card!”
“What’s she gonna do with a business card?” Natsu drained his beer and scratched his head. “Since when do you have business cards?”
“A Valentine’s card!” Happy shouted.
Mira closed her eyes and shook her head. “It’s all about the romance.”
“Romance?” Natsu furrowed his brows and slipped off his bar stool. “You guys are talking crazy. Lucy doesn’t care about romance - she’s one of the toughest wizards in our guild.”
“A-ha!” Mira pounded her fist on the counter. “You totally thought about Lucy after I said ‘romance.’ It’s proof!”
“But you asked me what me and Lucy were planning to do tomorrow?” Natsu did his best to smile at Mira (who was acting even more weird than usual) when all he wanted to do was escape. “I guess we’ll hang-out or find a job. I don’t think we’d do anything out of the ordinary.”
Happy rubbed his forehead and sighed, addressing Mira. “Forget trying to help Natsu. He’s hopeless. Instead, why don’t you be my wingman and tell Charle all about my good points?”
Torn between pumping Natsu for more information and assisting a legitimate love-lorn friend, Mira decided to cut her losses. “Okay Happy, what are your good points?”

An exchange of goods.
Okay so a friend of mine agreed to let me post this. We made a deal that I write something for her and she draws something for me so I’m posting it here to Tumblr so everyone can see her amazing work.
This is the short I write for her. I hope you all like it as much as she did.
START
This was supposed to be a date and she can’t stop the butterflies that are going rampant in her stomach. She’s spent the last hour making sure her hair is perfect, that she has every single strand right where it should be. Normally, hair her shade of blue made her feel special, unique even, but Laro, with hair a darker cerulean than her own, seemed to have been born to wear it. He was perfect in every way and the thought that she was going to spend the entire evening with him had her heart racing.
Her body was clad in tight fitting pants that clung to her like a second skin; topped with knee high boots, she had to admit that she looked amazing in them. She wore a thicker sweater because of the cold and with Christmas just a day away, the recent snow flurries had the temperature dropping to new lows. Silver seemed to go well with her hair and fair skin so her coat, with the silver lining, went well with the deep maroon of her sweater.
Sparing one last glance in the mirror, Marina decided to skip the scarf and opt for a hat instead, knowing her ears would get very cold, very fast. She used to hide from her unusually elven-like ears but after she met Laro, who had the same ears, she has become rather fond of them. She always joked that they were made for each other.
“Okay, I’m ready!” She winks at her reflection to psych herself up and she’s put the door a moment later, shivering slightly when the wind whips around her.
-
-
-
Marina doesn’t know how long she’s been waiting at the café, but when it’s clear that her date isn’t coming she feels her heart jump into her throat. Did she do something wrong? Did he change his mind? She doesn’t know the answer and the more the wracks her brain, the more the overthinks and it’s only a few minutes later that she’s on the verge of panic.
Around her she can hear the hustle and bustle of the passers by going about their lives and she wishes she could be like them. She wishes everything worked out for her. She wishes that she wasn’t on the verge of tears.
“Laro, where are you?” Her question hangs in the air, directed at no one in particular but she wants desperately for someone, anyone to give her the answer she needs. She’s off and running before her mind has time to process, checking the nearby shops just in case. Why was she so adamant to find him? Why did she have this ache in her stomach at his absence? Did he really grow to mean so much to her?
“I’ll find you, I swear it.” Her golden eyes are staring straight ahead and she knows what she needs to do. She reaches down into the very core of her being, drawing on any magic that is residing in her, reaching for it with every ounce of willpower she has, but when nothing happens she feels tears well. How does Laro make it look so easy?
She searches for him, anywhere and everywhere she can think of before coming to a stop just outside the nearby park. Laughter drifts to her ears and she turns to see a family playing in the snow. The children look so happy and she smiles briefly before setting her eyes on the center of the park. Maybe, just maybe he’s there. He has to be, right? She doesn’t know why, but she’s drawn to the large tree in the center, it’s lights seeming to illuminate her way. Her feet move on their own, her body simply along for the ride and in her chest she can feel a heat she recognizes. She feels his magic, his very essence, all the way to her soul.
The closer she gets, she hears music; it’s tune bringing a smile to her face before she even realizes it. There, leaning against the large tree, is Laro, and she can see the smile growing on his face. His form is standing tall and proud if she had to put a word to it, his hands stuffed into his pockets. His toothy grin reaches his deep brown eyes and she finds her cheeks wet from the tears that spilled over. Her worry vanishes in a gasp and she’s running to close the distance, her arms wrapping around him as if her life depends on it.
She’s enveloped in his warmth and the sigh that escapes is one of relief. He’s sturdy against her, his body warming the chill from her bones in an instant.
“I’m glad you found me, I’m sorry I didn’t make our meeting Marina,” he rests a hand on her head and she looks up and hazel meets gold in a torrent of unsaid emotions before he continues, “but I wanted to make sure this was perfect for you. Looks like you got here before I could get to you though.” He chuckles and it vibrates through her body.
“I got worried something happened to you…” she can’t hide the shaking in her tone and he holds her tighter.
“I know, I’m sorry for worrying you.” He turns them both around so she can see what has taken him so long and her eyes widen in shock. The tree is lit top to bottom in blue and silver lights and at the base is a picnic waiting for her of all her favorites and the squeak that leaves her lips is one of both surprise and happiness.
“You did all this…for me?” She looks to him, looking for any waver of his emotions, but finds none and her heart clenches.
“I sure did,” he smiled down at her,” I wanted you to have everything you’ve ever wanted this year.” She watches him pull out a small box and her body goes stiff, her mind racing in about a million different directions but she remains quiet.
“It’s not much but I’ve been saving up from my jobs to get this for you because I know you’ve been eyeing it,” he pauses to open it for her and she is met with glistening metal, “I figured you could practice magic with this knife. I hope you like it.”
She can see the words inscribed on the blade, As you grow stronger, so do my feelings for you. She can’t help the tears that overwhelm her.
“Merry Christmas Marina.”

She used to hide from her unusually elven-like ears but after she met Laro, who had the same ears, she has become rather fond of them. She always joked that they were made for each other.
“Okay, I’m ready!” She winks at her reflection to psych herself up and she’s put the door a moment later, shivering slightly when the wind whips around her.

Marina doesn’t know how long she’s been waiting at the café, but when it’s clear that her date isn’t coming she feels her heart jump into her throat. Did she do something wrong? Did he change his mind? She doesn’t know the answer and the more the wracks her brain, the more the overthinks and it’s only a few minutes later that she’s on the verge of panic.
Around her she can hear the hustle and bustle of the passers by going about their lives and she wishes she could be like them. She wishes everything worked out for her. She wishes that she wasn’t on the verge of tears.
“Laro, where are you?” Her question hangs in the air, directed at no one in particular but she wants desperately for someone, anyone to give her the answer she needs. She’s off and running before her mind has time to process, checking the nearby shops just in case. Why was she so adamant to find him? Why did she have this ache in her stomach at his absence? Did he really grow to mean so much to her?
“I’ll find you, I swear it.” Her golden eyes are staring straight ahead and she knows what she needs to do. She reaches down into the very core of her being, drawing on any magic that is residing in her, reaching for it with every ounce of willpower she has, but when nothing happens she feels tears well. How does Laro make it look so easy?
She searches for him, anywhere and everywhere she can think of before coming to a stop just outside the nearby park. Laughter drifts to her ears and she turns to see a family playing in the snow. The children look so happy and she smiles briefly before setting her eyes on the center of the park. Maybe, just maybe he’s there. He has to be, right? She doesn’t know why, but she’s drawn to the large tree in the center, it’s lights seeming to illuminate her way. Her feet move on their own, her body simply along for the ride and in her chest she can feel a heat she recognizes. She feels his magic, his very essence, all the way to her soul.
The closer she gets, she hears music; it’s tune bringing a smile to her face before she even realizes it. There, leaning against the large tree, is Laro, and she can see the smile growing on his face. His form is standing tall and proud if she had to put a word to it, his hands stuffed into his pockets. His toothy grin reaches his deep brown eyes and she finds her cheeks wet from the tears that spilled over. Her worry vanishes in a gasp and she’s running to close the distance, her arms wrapping around him as if her life depends on it.
She’s enveloped in his warmth and the sigh that escapes is one of relief. He’s sturdy against her, his body warming the chill from her bones in an instant.
“I’m glad you found me, I’m sorry I didn’t make our meeting Marina,” he rests a hand on her head and she looks up and hazel meets gold in a torrent of unsaid emotions before he continues, “but I wanted to make sure this was perfect for you. Looks like you got here before I could get to you though.” He chuckles and it vibrates through her body.
“I got worried something happened to you…” she can’t hide the shaking in her tone and he holds her tighter.
“I know, I’m sorry for worrying you.” He turns them both around so she can see what has taken him so long and her eyes widen in shock. The tree is lit top to bottom in blue and silver lights and at the base is a picnic waiting for her of all her favorites and the squeak that leaves her lips is one of both surprise and happiness.
“You did all this…for me?” She looks to him, looking for any waver of his emotions, but finds none and her heart clenches.
“I sure did,” he smiled down at her,” I wanted you to have everything you’ve ever wanted this year.” She watches him pull out a small box and her body goes stiff, her mind racing in about a million different directions but she remains quiet.
“It’s not much but I’ve been saving up from my jobs to get this for you because I know you’ve been eyeing it,” he pauses to open it for her and she is met with glistening metal, “I figured you could practice magic with this knife. I hope you like it.”
She can see the words inscribed on the blade, As you grow stronger, so do my feelings for you. She can’t help the tears that overwhelm her.
“Merry Christmas Marina.”
