**When Natsu and Lucy were 7 years old**


Lucy:"Natsu do you love me?"


Natsu:"Of course I do Lucy you are my best friend aren't you. You too love me don'tcha?"


Lucy:"Yeah I do!"*blushing *


//Present time//**10 years later**


Hey!!! I am Lucy Heartfilia, I just turned 17 last month and today my mom surprised me by saying that we were going back to Magnolia, It was the place I was born . We had to move because of my dad's transfer. And I was really sad to leave my friends. I am so happy that I can meet them again. I am gonna surprise them.

My dad bought a huge penthouse for us to stay in Magnolia. We quickly unpacked all of our stuff and withina few hours of hardwork it felt like home.

I was super excited to go to school the next day and surprise all of my childhood friends. That nightI slept so good it really felt like my childhood days. I felt so nostalgic, memories of my childhood flashed in my mind . Those memories comforted me and before I even realised I was asleep.


**The next day at school**


Teacher:"Good morning class! Today we have a new student entering our school."


The teacher gestured me to come in . I went in at looked at eveyone. Everyone was so changed . I could not even recognize my friends. 


Teacher:"This is Lucy Heartfilia. She will be joining our class fro-"


Suddenly a pink haired boy interupted the teacher and shouted"Hey! Are you the Lucy I used to know?"

The boy kinda resembled Natsu ....so I asked him"Are you Natsu ??"

He replied"Yeahhh!!! So I see you've come back huh luce?"

"Yea-" I was interupted by someone else. It was a blue haired girl with an orange ribbon on her hair.

"Are you really Lu-chan??"she said

Wait 'Lu-chan'? There's only one person whk calls me that 

"Are you Levy?"

She was about to reply when the teacher interupted us and told us to catch up suring the lunch break. I went up to the seat beside Natsu ,sat down and gave him a big smile 

And at that time my inner voice said"I really am back home!!!"


**At lunch **


During the lunch break Natsu and I caught up with each other . Levy,Erza ,Wendy,Gray,Juvia and Lisanna were also there. We were meeting after such a long time....Everybody was so happy to see me. 


After school was over Natsu said that Magnolia had changed a lot since I moved out so he would show me around, I asked all our friends to tag along with us. We went to various places. Magnolia sure had changed a lot,I even found it hard to recognize places that I knew. Then we all went to Natsu's house. We chatted for a long time , we also played some interesting games. They were interested in listening to what happenedto me when I moved to Clover, so I said them that I was pretty lonely and tgat I was soo happy to finally be back to Magnolia. They all reminded me that the next day was the local festival.They insisted me on going with them. I agreed because I loved hanging around with them.


//At the festival // 

I was waiting for a long time at the entrance of the festival fair. Suddenly Natsu appeared and said "Hey Luce! You ready to go to the fair" 

I said him we should wait for the others but....of coursehe did not listen to me. He grabbed by hand and pulled me in with him. I felt so happy when he was holding my hand, I didn't know why.....I really missed Natsu. 

After pulling me around for a few minutes , we stopped at a cafe and as usual he was chowing down on food... that I had to pay for. But this time even paying made me happy cuz it was just like the old times. 

We then went to see the fireworks. It was beautiful. I felt so cheerful. I suddenly hugged Natsu and started crying. These were tears if happiness. Natsu got startled and started consoling me 

"I missed you guys!"- I said

"We missed you too Luce" he replied. On hearing that I started crying even more louder. Natsu finally hugged me and said that everything'll be alright. Natsu's hug made me feel so safe and comforted that I finally stopped crying. After the fireworks were over, we decided to leave . The entrance and the exit were the same. As we were leaving we found all our friends waiting for us at the entrance. On hearing what we did Erza's eyes fired up

"NATSUUUUUUU!!!!!!"-Erza shouted. The only thing that scares Natsu was...Erza. After getting a beating from Erza ,Natsu finally said sorry. I told them that we had already visited the fair so they ahould too before its too late. They all went in and I helped Natsu up cuz he was on the ground after Erza's beating. I pulled him up and on the spur of the moment there waa a beautiful breeze . My hair got untied at it was flowing , the breeze was so cool and comforting . I didn't know why....but I was more happy to see Natsu than the others.  

But anyway now I was finally back and we could spend all of our time together now.


///Natsu's POV///

When Lucy pulled me up. There was.a suddenly breeze. The breeze untied her hair and it was flowing . Her hair had grown and I could smell it now. She smelled so sweet. The smell eased me. I was so glad to have Lucy back . I really missed her a lot. All I thought about during the days when Lucy moves out was her. I just kept wondering when she was gonna be back. Now she is finally back!!!

**The next day**


Lucy's POV


Shit!!! I woke up soo late. I qiuckly took a shower , gobbled down some pancakes my mom made and rushed outside. I was running quite fast . I did not wanna be late at my second day of school. 

**CRASHHHH**

I bumped into someone and fell down. 

"I am really sorry. I was late and was trying to run fast. "- I said.

The person was wearing our school uniform so I figuredhe was one of my classmates.

"It's ok . Its kunda my first day and I didn't wanna be late." -he said. I helped hum up amd got to know that he was a transfer student and will join our classes from today. I introduced myself and he did too!.

His name was Eric. We rushed to school but found that we were late. Luckily the teacher had not yet arrived at the class so we sneaked in. 

"Oi Luce! Who's that??"-Natsu asked

"Hey Natsu! This is Eric. I bumped into him on my way. He's a transfer student and thus us his first day!"

Before he could reply the class teacher came in and told us to sit down and introduced Eric to the class.

During the class I got a chit from Eric. It read:-

Hey!

If you are interested will you go to the town library with me today after school is over?:: I really want help with a book I wanna find.

Eric:)


I wrote "Yes!!! I'd love to" and send it back to him. He smiled in return and we then concentrated on the class.


**At lunch break**

Natsu's POV


I was quite bored so I went up to Lucy to see what she was doing. I saw that she was talking with that Eric guy. I felt offended somehow. I asked her if she could hangout with me after school 

"Oh! Sorry Natsu I am going to the town library with Eric today . Let's do it tomorrow " . I felt more sad. It fekt like that guy was taking Luce away from me


Eh! Its just one day . Luce will hangout with me tomorrow!Right?

I said to myself

Lucy's POV


That day I had a lot of fun at the library with Eric. It lookes like we had a lot of things in common! He asked me to go to his house the next day cuz he had a huge library in his house too. I agreed and then we went to each others home.


**The next day**


It was a rainy morning and I was feeling soooo lazy. I woke up and found Natsu in my living room.

"Huh? What are you doing here Natsu??"- I asked.

"Did you forget?? Today we have a holiday"- he said with an expression like-_-.

I still did not understand what a holiday had to do with him coming to my house...but.....oh well! I was bored anyway...so I was glad to find my best friend. I asked him if he had breakfast he said yes but I offered him some honey pancakes cuz as usual he loves my mom's pancakes. 

Then we went to my room and started chatting. I was kinda sad cuz today i had plans with Eric too! 

We played a few bored games but we too soon got bored. I then called up Eric and told him that I will not be able to hang out with him. Surprisingly Natsu looked happy when he heard I cancelled my plans with Eric...weird..right?...

After a long 3 to 4 hours we were completely bored and clueless about what we should do. Then suddenly the door bell rang . I went to open the door and saw Eric standing out half-soaked. I was surprised to see him. I invited him in and told him to go to my room where Natsu was also there. 

When I entered my room I saw that Natsu wasa little sad....wonder why?.....

Then we all started chatting. Eric was a lot fun to hangout with. He made us laugh so hard that I almost got a stomach ache.


Natsu's POV 


Ok....I don't know why but I hated the fact that Lucy became so cheerful when she was with that guy. It felt like she got bored of me and liked him more.... well I dont cate if she likes him ....it's not like I like Lucy but I don't want her to spendmore time witg someone else...wait...did that make sense.....?......do i .....like Lu-.....pft no!!! Not at all...what the hell am I thinking....she's my best friend and I do not wanna spoil our friendship over someweird thought cuz of some weird guys. But I am gonna make sure that I get to spend a lot of time with Lucy. That's right tomorrow I am gonna ask her to hangout with me. I'll take her to the new amusement park tomorrow so she won't even get bored around me.

Lucy's POV 


We were just talking about our school when Eric got a call from his dad. His dad told him to come home. He went home after that. Then it was just me and Natsu in the room. It got kinda boring . Then Natsu said that he would take my to a new Amusement park the next day. That made me excitef. I started asking him more about that place when my mom entered with two cups of coffee. 

"Thanks"-Natsu said to mom

I was like- Wait did Natsu just say thanks? Wow maybe he has changed.....

I was looking at him in a suspicious way when mom said "Lucy you should try and learn a thing or two from Natsu. He is so mannered . You never say thanks even to me" she made a humph sound and left my room. I looked at Natsu and said"What the hell was that right now???"

He gave a smirk and said "Well gotta look good in front of your mom don't I ? "

"Now if you don't drink your coffee in 3 seconds I am gonna have it"- he said" 1..2..3...it's mine now" - he took my cup and was gonna drink it but I caught his hand and was preventing him from drinking it"it's mine ...you just had yours right now!!" I said

He started pulling too hard and then *CRASHHHH*

I opened my eyes and saw the coffee spill on the floor and then I realised that I was actually above Natsu . We looked into each others eyes for a minute then he broke our eye contact. He tried to act normal and started saying me to shift as I was heavy....(well he was saying it i am not heavy......) but I could see that he was blushing as hard as me. Then suddey my mom came in saying-"What was that loud noi-" then she stopped and looked at us. "Ãŕâ Ãŕâ you should have said me before. I would not have interfered ....continue.". First I did not understand what she was saying and then it hit me what sge was talking about. I blushed more and more. My body became hot and I started sweating and then my vision became blurry and I passed out.


Natsu's POV 


I saw that Luce was blushing too hard . Maybe I was too. I was just thinking about her when she suddenly passed out . She rested her hair on ny chest . I blushed. The golden locks of her hair were near my nosrils and as a took a whif I coyld smell Luce. She smelled so ....good.... it felt like I and Lu were the only ones in the whole world and her smell made me feel so comfortable . Finally i snapped out of these....weird...thoughts and helped Lucy up. I put her on the bed and tgen I started to out to her. No response. I then sprinkled some water on her face (well maybe not sprinkle....I used up a whole bottle of water on her). Then she started opening her eyes.

"Luce? Are you alright?"-I asked .

"Yeah. I am alright Natsu "- she said and smiled

Lucy's POV 


I woke up and saw a bright sunshine through the small crack from the window that was beside my bed. When I came to my senses, I remembered everything tgat happened yesterday. I blushed some more and then gave out a sigh. I reached out my hand and found my phone beside the pillow. I took it and looked at yhe dozens and dozens missed calls and texts from Natsu. As soon as I was about to get up, I felt dizzy, my body felt hot and my limbs ached. Then finally mom came in with a small tub of water with a washcloth drenched in it. She told me that I had a high fever and should rest. I did as she said. I was finally feeling better in the afternoon, I thought Natsu was back from school and decided to give him a call. After ringing three times he picked up.

"Um...hey Luce!!! How you doing?"- he asked

"Hi Natsu....well I am a bit better now...hopefully I'll be able to go to school from tomorrow "-I replied

"Yayyy....then we can go to that amusement park this week right?!"

"Yah sure...I'll be looking forward to it."- i said. Then we talked some more. Natsu did not mention anything about yesterday so I thought of not bringing it up.


Natsu's POV 

Fianlly it was the day I and Lucy went to the amusement park. I was really excited to get some alone time with Luce ....since she was so busy discussing about books with taht Eric guy....not that I am jealous or anything. We decided to meet at the entrance. I came 5 minutes earlier. I kept waiting and then I saw Luce.... with that same guy!!! She waved at him and he did the same and then he was gone. Was Lucy with him all this time??? I hated seeing her with him...... She started walking towards me and I tried ti act like everything was normal . "Heyy Natsu....Lets go in "- she said with a wide smile plastered on her face. 

Lucy's POV 

The Amusement Park was amazing. Natsu and I had so much fun in all those rides, well actually he just rode them cuz of me .....he has motion sickness and is now sulking over in that corner with his hands on his face somehow stopping him from puking. I suggested him to stop by the washroom and then grab something to eat.


Natsu's POV 

I came out of the washroom and found Lucy waiting for me. We then went to have something to eat. Lucy had a veggie burger. I had well....uh.....maybe half the menu....Anyway then we went for ice-cream. I asked Lucy to wait till I bring them. I knew cookies n' cream was Lucy's favourite flavour so i grabbed two cups of those and turned back to see no sign of Lucy. I asked the person who worked at the shop that I would be back for the ice-creams in a minute. I searched a few places but there was no sign of her. The only place left was the photobooths. I quickly went there and started checking all of the booths. I heard a few humming sounds from one of the booths and rushed in . I found Lucy tied up . Her hands were stightly bound by the ropes . I saw scratches on her legs. I froze up. What just.....happened. I was just busy for a minute or so and something like this happened to Lucy. There was no one other than her. She could not scream. She had a black cloth blocking her mouth. I finally snaped out of it and rapidly rushed to her and untied her hands and legs . I removed the cloth covering her mouth. Her shoes were not there and her clothes were tattered. She looked so different. The glow that was present in her eyes wasn't there anymore. This was supposed to be a fun day and it turned into a disaster. Then Lucy started crying .


Lucy's POV 

I couldn't process what just happened. I was just.....kidnapped....but why? Natsu saved me! I am so happy to get him as a best friend. Suddenly after thinking that it made me sad.....calling Natsu my best friend made me sad......but whyyy? Finally I started crying. My face burried deep under Natsu's broad chest. His shirt got soaked up with my tears in no time. After I calmed down, Natsu gave me a piggyback ride home. He made me feel so safe and secure ,even though something like that just happened, I felt happy now. Natsu's back was warm. The warmth made it to irresistible to not to fall asleep. I was tired and eventually I fell asleep on Natsu,my best friend??????

Natsu's POV 

Lucy was fast asleep on my back. Well that was expected. She always fell asleep after crying. When I reached her home, aunt Layla asked me to take her to her room . I did what I was told and placed her on the bed. As I turned to leave Lucy caught my hand from behind. She was still asleep. She started murmuring something in her sleep. After a few minutes she finally left my hand and then I went out. I told aunt Layla about the incident at the park. She grew worried but I assured her that there was nothing to be worried about now!


The next day

Lucy's POV 

I woke up on by bed....was it all a dream? I looked at the tattered clothes on the bed ......and it wasn't a dream. I gave out a sigh as I tried to forget the whole thing. I took a shower , got dressed for school and had a bowl of oatmeal. 


At School

I was really distracted in my classes. I jyst couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I felt so uncomfortable. Finally it was lunch time. Erza , Wendy,Juvia and I sat down to have our lunch. I did not tell them about yesterday.....I knew they'd get worried unnecessarily. After school was over. I was trying to find Natsu so that we could go home. I couldn't find him anywhere. And then I searched the school's garden. I found Natsu...talking to anothet girl. I didn't know her...I probably never talked to her. I didn't want to eavesdrop on them but I was just at a hearing distance from them.  

"So....um....will you...um....go out with me?"- asked the girl. 

What the hell?? Did Natsu just get confessed to. I didn't know if it was anger or not but I was inclined to barge in between them and ask Natsu to say "NO"!!!

Before I could get there Natsu had already turned her down. She hung her head down and walked away. The Natsu suddenly said

"From when were you here" He turned around and looked towards the pillar I was hiding behind. "Aw c'mon Luce...I know you are there!!" I peeked from behind the pillar and then saw that Natsu had really found me out. "What the hell were you doing here?!"- he asked 

"Well you weren't gonna come so I had to go look for you everywhere and then I gind you out here."-I said.

"Oh!"-he said"Let's go then ". He got his bag and then we both walked home together. After I reached home, I freshened up and sat down to do my homeworks when my mom came knocking at the door. I let her in and then she said that she and dad were going on a three day business trip with Natsu's parents. 

"That's so not fair mom....I wanna go too!!"- I said .

However she said that it was mainly a business trip so if I and Natsu went with them , It would cause them problems. I pouted and gave out the best puppy dog eyes I could but even those did not work. She said me that Natsu would be staying here those three days and asked us not to mess up the whole place. 

I giggled "Who do you think messes up a place more...me or Natsu!!"

"Whoever it is....just don't do it this time"-She said . 

As soon as she left my room I gof a call from Natsu....We started talking about the next day and were really excited because we did not have a sleepover after I came back.

Lucy's POV 

"Bye hun, see you in three days."- My mom said as she got out of the house. I nodded and waved at her. 

I let out a sigh . As usual Natsu was late!!

My hand on my chin and my leg tapping frequently ,I sat there on a chair waiting for him.

And then he burst in through the door. I put my hands on my hips and gave him a 'why are you late' looks.

He simply grinned at me and said-"Hehe Sorry Luce!"- To be honest I loved the way Natsu called me Luce. Everytime he called me that I felt my chest tightened and a flip in my stomach. 

I shook of the weird thoughts and then we went up to my room . 


Natsu's POV 

We had probably watched over six movies and now we were super bored. Even the buttery goodness called popcorn tasted stale now.

It was 3:00pm now and we were totally not sure what to do. 

"We should've planned this thing out from before"- Luce said with a sigh. I simply nodded , I thought I could finally have a fun weekend with her but it just wont happen!!!!!

She stood up and then we decided to bake some cookies . Luce did most of the work and specially asked me to stay away as I would spoil it or something.....

Okay so now things were really boring!!!

 We went up to her room and started chatting. About stuff....when she wasn't here.....About school....about our friends and about .....us.

We kept talking on how we used to play when we were little....I then remebered when Luce once said she loved me when we were about seven.

"Luce do you love me?"- I blurted out.

As soon as I said that I regretted it. I felt a lot like .....like.....like....i dont know but I tried not to make things weird between us....but I just did it.

Luce looked a bit uncomfortable. I could see her blushing...


Lucy's POV 

Suddenly Natsu asked me if I loved him. I blushed so hard, I could feel the heat running up to my cheeks. I mean yeah I loved him as my best friend...but lately ...its like ....i dont want him to be my best friend ....I want more....I want....MORE!!

"Um....uh....umm......m....yeah I do , I mean we are best friends....Why did ask that so suddenl-"- I couldn't finish what I was saying. I felt his lips on me. They were soft and I felt like kissing them more. I wanted to move away but I-I-I just couldn't. 

And in that moment I understood why I did not want him to be more than my best friend ....I loved him...not just as a friend ....but as ...something more.

He finally pulled awa||y and asked-"Do you love me only as a best friend"- he looked hurt-"Or as something-"I did not let him finish....I pulled him in for another kiss.....a long one this time.


Lucy's POV 

"Mom, I am going out"-I said as I turned the doorknob.

"OK hun just make sure to be back before 10p.m."-she said with a huge smile on her face.

I went out and saw Natsu standing. It was really cold. I went upto him and then we started walking. Our fingers intertwined and huge smiles on our faces. I never thought this day would come. I am happy that ,Natsu asked me if I loves him that day , because I have always LOVED HIM MORE THAN A BEST FRIEND I was just dumb so i couldn't understand it.


Yesss!!!! We are going out now .....although it took him a while to ask:-

Flashback:-

"Hey Luce?"-Natsu said...blushing?

"Uh huh?"

"Would you like to...you know...um hangout with me?"- he asked

"Natsu!!! I AM HANGING OUT WITH YOU NOW!!!"-I said and giggled.

"Well..um...I know but...like....would like to um....um....you know....um...go..um"-he said and kept stuttering.

"Spit it out Natsu!"

"Okay..um..will you go out with me?"-he said ...i was kinda shocked...I never thoughthe would ever have the courage to ask me out. I even thought I'd ask him out if he didn't. 

But I was happy that he did!

He looked puzzled as I took too much time to respond.

"I mean you don't have to if yo-"- I kissed him. Of course I'd go out with him....I was just embarrassed to say so!

"I thought you'd never ask"- I responded as I saw a look of satisfaction on his face.


How could our relationship change so fast?

You know what I think Our 'relationship' was always the SAME just it's LABEL has changed......we were best friends ...now we are um...boyfriend and girlfriend....

We used to hangout..now we'll go out on dates. 

So I think we are just the same as we were and ....I love Natsu.

"I LOVE YOU"- I said as I tried hard to hide my blushing face.

"Hehe~ YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU RIGHT"-Natsu said with his signature smirks.

"NO YOU DON'T I LOVE YOU MORE"-I said.

"Thanx Luce I wanted to hear that from you"-he said still wearing his 'cute' smirk.

"Ahh!!YOU TRICKED ME! Well I'd say it anyway!"-I said.

"I know you would"-Natsu said as he closed the distance between us.
