Summary
When Natsu and Lucy's relationship finally takes the leap to more than friends, Levy and Freed pull her aside and gently warn her about the... intensity... of dragon courtship, and give her an old textbook they’d used in their own relationships to help with some of it, but while the general instincts are real the researcher had an... interesting case study which may have led to some wildly inaccurate (and often alarming) conclusions. They have each made their own notes in the margins which sometimes only leave her *more* worried about what's about to happen.
What she hadn't expected, but probably should have, was for Natsu to put his own spin on every ‘stage’ in a way that was so perfectly on his own terms.Each stage doesn't feel like some abstract rule they have to follow, something that changes who they are or what they do for each other. They're Natsu and Lucy. Exactly the way they always have been, and always will be. Just more.
Written for all of Nalu week: Day 1(new beginnings),2(both),3(both),4(teeth), 5(both), 6(adventure), 7(fireworks) - but primarily teeth/new beginnings/paranoia/red string of fate/adventure!
