Lucy's P.O.V.

"Hhhhhhmmm haaaaa. What a lovely morning!" I say, waking up to a beautiful sight of the blue sky from my window.

A lot happened yesterday, I wonder if Natsu's okay.

Yesterday

Natsu walked into the guild hall, all fired up as usual. Except he was picking fights more than usual.

"Hey you damn ice-perv! Come on and fight me!" he yelled while jumping up to land a punch on Gray.

Gray narrowlly avoids it.

"I'm not in the mood Natsu, I just came from a tough job." Gray said.

"Oh? So you had trouble on a job? It seems like your slipping on your own ice, you frozen streaker!"

"What d'you say you fireball?!"

"You heard me you penguin!"

"You flaming punk!"

"You're a cold wimp!"

"We'll see about that! Ice Make, Lance!"

Spikes of ice shoot themselves towards Natsu.

"Fire Dragon, Wing Attack!"

Natsu melted them with his fire.

A huge battle started between the two of them. They were breaking tables and chairs all over.

All of a sudden, a pair of swords slashed between both of them, stopping them mid-fight.

"Would you scoundrels knock it off!" Erza interupted.

"Erza! When d'you get here?" Gray asked nervously.

"Why d'you have to stop the fight Erza?! I was about to beat him!" Natsu screeched.

"Yeah right you Pyro! I was obviously the one who was going to win!" Gray yelled.

"Both of you! Shut up!" Erza yelled while sending the both of them crashing against the wall.

"You want some too Erza?!" Natsu shouted as he landed on the ground.

I was shocked that he was actually going to fight Erza after she slammed him against the wall like that. He was acting way to aggressively. At the time I was just thinking, That's Natsu for ya.

"I'm trying to keep you from destroying the guild hall." she said annoyed now.

"Find then! Why don't we take this outside you red-headed freak!" Natsu shouted, aiming a flaming fist for Erza.

"All right then," she said while shooting Natsu outside, "If you insist."

Erza walked outside to start her fight with Natsu. I ran outside to see whether or not he was okay. He was really going overboard with the fighting, and that was nowhere near over. Natsu got back up and shot a fireball at Erza right away. She requipped into her Flame Empress Armor, blocking his attack with no problem. This time, it was Erza's turn to attack, swinging her sword at Natsu. He barely avoids it by ducking and trying to trip her. She just jumps over him, and with a single kick, she ends the brawl striking him down to the earth. He was K.O.ed.

"Are you satisfied Natsu?" Erza asked.

"Ugh,uuhh. kugh kugh!" is all he managed to muster.

I went up to Natsu to make sure he was alright. I shook him a bit from his shoulder.

"Natsu? Hey Natsu, you okay? Wake up." I said.

He opened his eyes and looked at me.

"You're awake!" I said in joy, "You all right?"

"I'll survive," he muttered while sitting up and holding his head, "That hurt. Erza really is one scary lady."

"Well, it was pretty stupid of you to challenge her in the first place."

"I was sure I would beat her this time!"

"If you didn't beat her last week, what makes you say you could this week?"

"Oh whatever! I'll win next time!"

Natsu was determined as always. He never gives up. He's so strong, and his friends around him make him stronger. He never gives up, even when Igneel left him so long ago.

We go back into the guild and get some water from the bar. Then I heard some chewing coming from behind the counter. It sounded kind of like metal on metal clanging against each other.

"Gajeel! What are you doing eating the dishes, huh?!" Natsu freaks when he sees that Gajeel was making the sound.

"I can do whatever the hell I want Salamander!"

"You wanna fight?!" Natsu yelled.

"Let's go, you fire freak!" and another battle started in the guild, breaking more tables than before.

"Geez, is he ever going to stop?" I mumbled.

All I saw were fists, flames and iron bars flying everywhere they were fighting. Was there no end? Three fights in one day! He got beat up by Erza and he still wanted to fight.

The battle went on for another ten minutes, I guessed Erza gave up on him. They finally finished when they punched each other in the face and knocked each other out for a few minutes. At that point, I had given up too. There's no reason to check whether or not Natsu's hurt if he keeps fighting over and over again.

When he does wake up, he drags himself back to where he was sitting next to me.

"So, how are you?" I asked playfully.

"Hm." he grunted.

He was not having a good day at all. And it still was not over.

"Hey, Natsu? You wanna go for a walk to calm down a bit?" I asked.

"Fine, why not." he said.

We went out for a walk with Happy flying right beside Natsu. It was a peaceful little walk, Natsu seemed to feel better while walking.

When we walked back into the guild, we found Gildarts at the bar, drinking with Cana. Cana kept trying to run away from Gildarts, but to no avail. Not until we came in anyways.

"Come and fight me Gildarts!" he jumped for Gildarts.

"You're going to fight again?!" I yelled in shock.

Gildarts also seemed pretty fired up. He hit Natsu real hard and sent him crashing out the guild roof into the backyard.

"All right Natsu, let's take this outside!" Gildarts said, apperently completely oblivious that he shot him out of the park.

"That's simple since he's already outside." Happy added.

We go outside to see the fight between Gildarts and Natsu. It was pretty pathetic though. Natsu was already beat up from the other fights he was in. Natsu kept trying to hit Gildarts, but he just kept punching him down like a bug before he could. Finally Natsu couldn't take anymore and he was knocked out for the third time.

√ ∂ ∆ *_..._* ∆ ß √

Later on in the day, Happy decided to bring Natsu fishing to clear his mind and I came along. It was pretty boring though. For half an hour, there was nothing exciting that happened. They just waited there until they finally got a bite. It was Natsu's line. He caught one of those huge purple fish. They both looked so hungry, so they went into the forest to find a place to eat it right away.

"Natsu! How could you?!" Happy screamed when he saw that Natsu grilled the fish, "I like my fish better raw!"

"What's the point of doing that if it takes me two seconds to to grill it up." Natsu answers.

"Natsu... you.. idiot!"

"If you don't want it, I'll eat it." and he ate the whole thing bones and all.

"No Natsu... Fine! Our friendship is over!" Happy yelled as he ran away.

Natsu just looked away in annoyance.

"Natsu, you don't want to go after him?" I mumbled.

I was being careful since the last time they had this argument, I said something to Natsu that ticked him off for no reason. It was actually really scary.

He just grunted and I decided to leave him alone. I wanted to go back home anyway since it was late.

Present

Now I don't know whether they forgave each other or not since I fell asleep. I don't know if Natsu's sore from the fights or whether he got over the results at all. I wonder why he was like that in general.

I look at the calender, just to see what date it is since I kind of lost track this week. It's July 8th today. That means yesterday was the 7th.

Hold on! July 7th? Wasn't that the day Igneel left him? Is that why he was so aggressive yesterday? He must've been pretty upset since it was the day his father left him alone.

I sit up and stretch a bit. What's this? I'm feeling something strange in my bed. Then I look on my pillow.

"I reckognize that scaly scarf." I grunt.

I grab the scarf and pull on it until it's out of bed and drags someone along with it.

"Good morning." he yawns.

"What are you doing here Natsu?!" I freak.

"I was tired so I fell asleep." he answers.

"Don't you have your own home, with your own bed and your own pillow?!"

"Aw, but your bed is way more comfy."

"Then get a comfier one for yourself!" I scream.

"What's the point if you already have one here?" he asks.

"I don't really enjoy sharing my bed with a spiky haired guy like you."

"But... it's not the same when I'm not with you." he says with a smile.

I stare at him. I feel my cheeks heating up.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

He comes closer to me as I release his scarf. He puts his arms around me and brings me close. My face heats up even more as I gasp from shock.

"Please don't leave me. Never leave me alone in this world. I need you here with me."

"Na... tsu." I choke.

A tear runs down my face. I move my arms from his chest and wrap them around his neck and back.

"I promise I won't. I'll always be there with you, through everything. I promise. But you have to tell me you won't leave me alone either."

"There's no way I'm ever leaving you alone. I'll be by your side. I'll protect you. I won't let you get hurt." he says softly.

We hold each other tighter. He's so warm. I know he's a Fire Dragon Slayer, but it's not that type of warmth. I want him to be with me. To be by my side, forever.

I dig my face into his neck a bit.

"Where's the ring Lucy?"

Natsu and I loosen our grips right away to look where the high pitched voice was coming from.

"Happy?" I say.

"You're in loooove! Come on Natsu, give her the ring already." Happy says playfully while wiggling his little finger.

"Hey there little buddy," Natsu says calmly, "Does this mean you forgive me?"

"Of course! There's no way I'm losing my best friend over a fish!" he grins.

Natsu smiles back. It's good to see they've made up. I'm really happy.

"You know, there's someting I forgot at home," Natsu says, "I should really go get that. Hey Lucy."

He looks at me with a cheerful smile.

"What's up?" I ask, also with a smile.

"Meet me at the cherry blossom tree, okay?"

"For what?" I ask.

He lets me go and opens the window.

"Just meet me there, 'kay?"

"You know, you can use the door." it was no use saying that because he just jumps out anyway.

I wonder what he wants. Anyway, I get dressed in a real nice dress that I just bought. It's light pink and has a magenta skirt. it has barely any sleeves, but it has those long handless gloves that go just above the elbows. There's also a coral leather flower on the right shoulder. I left my hair down, but I tied up a small side ponytail with a pink bow. It looks kind of childish, in a way, but I want to match the scenery since I'm going to a cherry blossom tree.

Then I go my way to the tree.

√ ∂ ∆ *_..._* ∆ ß √

Natsu's finally here! He's walking through all the flower petals that fell from the tree. It's a beautiful scene. The flowers are blooming so nicely for July. Natsu comes up to me and covers my eyes with his hand.

"Keep them closed." he whispers.

I close my eyes, brushing my lashes against the palm of his hand. I feel something cold on my chest, climbing up to my neck. I feel Natsu's hands fixing something at the back of my neck. When he takes his hands away, I feel the back of my neck cold too.

"You can open them now." he says.

I open my eyes and look down at my chest.

"Oh wow!" I say in astonishment.

It's a beautiful silver necklace with Fairy Tail's mark at the end of it.

"It's beautiful! Thank you so much Natsu!"

"It's a reminder." he says, "That wherever you are, Fairy Tail will be there with you."

I look up at him. A few tears run down my eyes.

"Thank you so much. I love you so much!" I cheer.

Although there's the cold of the metal against my chest, I still feel so warm.

"I love you too Lucy." he says, wiping the tears from my face.

I grin at him. I'm so happy I met Natsu! I don't know what my life would be without him.

Natsu lowers his head while I raise mine. Our lips slowly coming closer and closer together until they touch. The wonderful sensation of my lips against his warms my heart. It would be great if we could stay like this forever. I'm so happy. I love Natsu so much. I really don't know what my life would be without him.

They stayed together after that, happy as can be. They continue living they're lives in love with each other. And so ends the story of Natsu and Lucy's first kiss.
