little Nalu soulmate blurb I wrote and didn’t bother to check over
———
Lucy is ten when the mark appears, years after her mother’s passing.
It’s a small pink flame, surrounded by stars, resting just above where she thinks her heart is.
Lucy’s father is disappointed at the sight, and immediately ushers her out to report to his business partners that she does not share any of their children’s soul marks.
He may be disappointed, but it’s the first sign she’s ever gotten that there’s someone out there for her, after years of rotting away behind the locked doors of her mansion.
Lucy dives into every book in her family’s library on soulmates, from educational non-fiction to fantasy romances.
Soulmates, Lucy decides, are the greatest thing this world has to offer.
From then on, Lucy spends most of her time daydreaming about who her soulmate could be.
A brave knight, who comes to sweep her off her feet to steal her away from her father? Or a stunning princess, who grabs her hand and pulls Lucy into a beautiful fantasy land?
Whoever they are, Lucy knows they will save her. They have to.
For the rest of her childhood—and far into her teenage years—Lucy daydreams about her mysterious soulmate.
During fancy parties where Lucy is forced to stand at her father’s side while he talks nonsense to other powerful men, she dreams of her Knight breaking through the doors and pulling her away. She dreams of her Princess grabbing her hand and pulling Lucy into a dance that makes her forget all her worries.
But no knight or princess ever comes, and suddenly it’s too late.
Lucy is seventeen with her mother’s keys and dreams of being a wizard, when she overhears her father arranging her marriage to a man she’s never even met.
Lucy can’t wait any longer, she has to get out now.
So she leaves, running away into the night with nothing but a handful of cash and a few pairs of clothes—and her mother’s keys, of course.
Then, Lucy meets him.
A pink-haired weirdo, who drains half her savings and is apparently looking for a dragon with his talking cat.
Lucy doesn’t know exactly what to make of such a man, so she brushes the meeting off and follows the wizard Salamander onto his boat, hoping to leech off of him long enough to join Fairy Tail.
And then the man—Natsu—from earlier is falling onto the boat, with his cat who can apparently talk and fly.
Lucy is less than impressed when he immediately eats wood, and she has to pull out Aquarius to save both of their butts, wrecking half of Hargeon’s port in the process.
By the end of it, Lucy is tired, wet, and broke. Not only that, but Salamander is still, somehow, fighting.
Lucy is ready to scream, but Natsu is tearing his coat off, revealing his arms.
More importantly, revealing what is on his arms.
On one shoulder, the mark of Fairy Tail is proudly displayed, a blazing red color.
On the other, sits her soulmark. A pink flame surrounded by shining stars.
Natsu Dragneel is Salamander, a wizard of Fairy Tail, and her one and only soulmate.
She nearly passes out at the revelation, and then nearly passes out again when Natsu, somehow, eats fire.
His weird cat kindly informs her he’s the son of a dragon, like he wasn’t already impossible enough.
Then, the fake Salamander is out cold on the ground, and the royal military is chasing after them for drowning the port—hey, it’s a port, what did they expect—Natsu is grabbing her hand.
Her soulmate is grabbing her hand, dragging her back to his guild.
Natsu is far from what she expected, but, she thinks with a smile on her face, he might not be so bad.

Zoro in episode 3:
Zoro in episode 5:
Zoro doesn’t dispute being Luffy’s first mate — because of course, he doesn’t; at this point in the story he is already devoted to following Luffy even if he hasn’t declared it yet — but when it comes to actually acting as the first mate, he needs to be told what to do. So he asks Luffy if he is okay and doesn’t actually ask about Garp and that’s it. To put it differently, he is the first mate but only in name.
Zoro in episode 7:
The possibly most integral part about Zoro’s character is that he is a man of honor and a man of his word. So after declaring his undying loyalty to Luffy, he is no longer just the first mate in name but also in his actions. This time, he doesn’t need to be told to follow Luffy, he does it on his own and without hesitation. He doesn’t ask Luffy any empty questions either but simply stands by his side. He gets ready to leave again at one point but that’s the exact moment Luffy takes to open up — because he does need Zoro there with him and of course, Zoro stays. As far as the actual conversation goes, Zoro gently questions if Luffy is doing the reasonable thing but Luffy trusts his own intuition and knowing how well that served him before, the matter ends here for Zoro. He trusts Luffy and his course of action.
Luffy really said “I need you, Zoro” and Zoro in turn vowed to stand by his side forever. And he does; he honors his word.

It's actually depressing to do things in your own time, way and opinion. Mostly because people often disagrees with you and they prefer to do what's more popular now, and if you don't follow the trend, you're just a weirdo trying to fit in. A block in a jigsaw puzzle. But don't let it bring you down. There are still people who will accept you for who you are.
