Hey, everyone! Welcome to Fairy Tales

Alright! Wait, wait, wait! Before anyone says anything about how I spelled the title, I did it on purpose! xD "Tales" as in like a story. Ya' know?

Anyway, this is going to be a one-shot book (unless you guys like a certain story a lot and you think it should be continued, then I might possibly continue it!) It is also mostly going to be centered around Nalu! (Natsu x Lucy) Though, I may throw in a few other pairings here and there too! ;)

Without any further ado…

*I DO NOT own Fairy Tail or any of its characters! They strictly belong to Hiro Mashima!

*NOTE: Words in Italics are the letters (ect.)

Enjoy! ^-^

Much Love

Natsu's POV:

My back was killing me and motion sickness patches were just about wearing off. I quickly decided that I would never take any form of transportation again.

I laugh to myself while looking out the small window to sky blooming into beautiful yellows and oranges. I can almost hear what Lucy would say if she heard me say that.

"You always say that!"

I smile to myself when the blonde comes to my mind. I've been away for way too long and my patience is wearing thin. Ever since I left home, which happened to be two years ago, I've been missing my girl like crazy. My girl, I like the way that sounds.

I miss her silky blonde hair that she'd only let me touch. Yeah, as if I'd let anyone else touch her. I miss her brown eyes that seem to make my favorite chocolate cake look dull. Sometimes, I think if I stared long enough, I might just get sucked into them.

I miss you a lot, Lucy.

I laugh to myself again. I must look like an idiot. Laughing to myself like a creepy old man. See what you've done to me, Luce?

Her little soft hands come to my mind. The ones only I and our future children could hold. I mean, I like to hope we have children. After all, I was planning on proposing as soon as I got home. My mind wanders to the pink stain on your hand that matches mine, the one on my shoulder.

Do you remember when we got those tattoos, Luce? I sure as hell do! You were squeezing my hand the whole time. It hurt like hell, but I didn't care. Plus, if I ever forgot you'd come to haunt me. Not like you'd ever let me forgot anyway. You always reminded me of our memories in all the letters you wrote.

Snapping myself out of my thoughts, I reached under my seat and grabbed my bag. After, opening the brown bag, I pulled out all the letters you wrote to me these last two years.

Did you keep mine too, Luce? I kept every one of yours.

I popped out the table that was secured to the seat in front of me and placed all the letters on top. I decided I might as well start with the first one because one, I loved to read her letters and two, there was still a hell of a lot of time left until I got home.

I carefully opened the white envelope and pulled out her first letter. I smiled. I remember when I first saw this letter. It was, and still is, decorated with hearts all up the sides with her perfect handwriting dancing across the page. That's so you, Lucy.

I let my eyes scan the pretty page and began to read:

Dear Natsu,
I can't believe it has already been a full month since you have been gone. I miss you like crazy. Miss me yet?

Of course I did, Luce. I really miss you now though. Even more than I did way back then.

Happy and Plue seem to miss you a lot too. I can tell. Whenever I get home from work, they always wait by the door like they did when you were back at home. Sometimes I'll wait at the door with them, but I always remember you wouldn't be coming home tonight.

Is it bad that I actually want to come home to you in my bed like old times? Do you remember that, Natsu? You would sneak into my room just to sleep in my bed. Back then, I wouldn't waste anytime kicking you out, giving into your puppy eyes, and in the end, you'd just sleep with me in my bed. Now, I miss you in my bed more than ever. Don't you dare think of anything perverted, mister!

I felt a smile curve the corners of my lips. I remembered those days like the back of my hand. You'd yell at me until my ears hurt. My ears are sensitive ya' know, Luce?

I miss that I'd wake up to you in the morning. Now, I wake up to either Happy or Plue's ass I my face. So, you need to come home soon. I'll be waiting! Love you so much!

Much love,
Lucy xox

Now, I felt a full smile come to my face. Lucy, you never fail to make me smile.

I moved the crinkled piece of paper aside and flipped through the rest of the precious letters. As I skimmed through them, a certain date caught my attention.

May 26, X791

Then, it clicked. I remembered this letter like it was only yesterday that I read it. The day I got this letter was one of the hardest days of my time away from Her. I shook my head to clear my thoughts, then flicked my eyes down to the white paper and started to read:

My Dearest Natsu,
I miss you. I miss you so much, more than ever. Are you doing well? Maybe you can substitute your wellness for mine…

After just reading the first sentence I felt a sharp pain in my chest. An "ache" I would call it. An ache to see her, hold her, kiss her. I missed my Lucy. It was as easy as that.

My father died two days ago and his funeral was the day after. It is currently day three without my father in this world, and if it isn' t too selfish to say, I need you more than ever. I need you to hug me and tell me it's alright, but for now all I can do is hope and pray that you'll will come home to me soon. Though, I know you always will. Happy, Plue , and I will be waiting. We love you. I love you so much, Natsu. Come home soon!

Much love,
Lucy xox

I took my eyes off Lucy's neat handwriting and absently looked out the window.

Being so far away from her killed me. Especially, when I couldn't be there to help her, protect her. She was dealing with her father's death all alone and I couldn't do a damn thing about it. It absolutely killed me.

I stared at the crumpled sheet again as if trying to burn a hole through it. I remember the day I read this too. I wasn't able to sleep at all that night. I had called her so many fucking times I pretty much had the cursed voice etched into my brain.

"I'm sorry the call you are trying to make is not within reach—" It would say before I would slam the phone shut and call again. It was a cycle. That is, until I had to force myself to get off my phone and go to work.

I quickly shook my head to rid myself of the monotone voice that caused me so much misery. I don't think I ever felt so useless.

The loud voice over the loud speaker snapped me out of my thoughts. After tying to make out what the person had said, I realized that I only had about thirty minutes left until I the damn metal tank landed. I decided I'd just read one more letter.

Putting the previous letter back into the stack of papers, I flicked through the rest of the memory filled sheets and pulled out the last one I got from her before I packed my bags and got on the plane.

Natsu,
How long has it been since I saw you last? Like a year and a couple months maybe, so I guess it fair to say I missing you like crazy at the moment. I mean, I'm doing okay, but I still want to come home you know?

Of course, I know that, Luce! I'm coming! Give me just another hour, then I'll be home.

How's work been? Anything getting hard yet? Hopefully you are doing it all. After all, I can't be doing all your work like I did in high school now, can I? Just thinking back to high school makes me cringe, yet smile at the same time. Remember when you confessed to me under the cherry bloom tree out in the school yard.

I laugh to myself. Oh hell yeah! I remembered that day like it was yesterday. I almost shit my pants the whole school day trying to figure out what to say Who knew you liked me back, Luce?

Remember, you weren't the only one who confessed that day. I did too, you know! I was so happy after you said you liked me. I had been waiting for you to say those words since middle school, but you didn't hear that from me though! *wink*

I smiled at the words that decorated the page and imagined her actually winking at me. God, Luce, you are so pretty.

Anyway, I should probably stop here before I start rambling on forever. Seriously, I miss you a lot, so come home or else I am going to have to drag you home. Hurry home!

P.S. I love you so so much! Kisses from Happy, Plue, and I!

Much love,
Lucy xox

Kisses from me too, Luce.

The strong turbulent abruptly brought me back into reality. We were landing soon. Thank Mavis for that or else the man next to me would not be having a fun time at all. Seriously, I really don't know how that girl put up with my motion sickness. Well, Lucy is Lucy after all and she just weird.

I closed my eyes and waited for the metal torture machine to land. I felt the damn thing landed on the runway and I waited until it slowed down, until I opened my eyes again. Once it came to a complete stop, I opened my eyes and the looked out the little conveniently placed window. The sky had washed away into a dark blue spotted with stars that rivaled her golden hair.

Damn, all this time away has gotten me to turn softer or something. I laughed to myself. What the hell?

After hearing the okay to go over the speaker, I unbuckled my seat belt, grabbed my bag from under my seat, and placed the stack of letters back inside. Then, managed to sprint to the exit without getting yelled at for once in my life.

Luce, I know you'd be really proud of me!

Once, I stepped off the god forsaken plane, I practically ran to the luggage pick up. Let me tell you something, who knew waiting for a single damn suitcase was the hardest thing in the world. This damn thing is keeping me away from seeing my Lucy and you know what? I was not having it.

Once I saw the conveyor belt moving, I quickly made my way to opening where the luggage came out. Thankfully, it was my lucky day because my single suitcase had come out second. Thank Mavis!

I didn't waste anytime to grab it and make my way to a cab outside. After realizing I was going to be getting in a moving vehicle, I shoved my hand in my bag only to realize I had no damn patches left.

I looked up at the cab driver and gave him a fifty and mumbling, "You'll wanna keep the change…"

I stood in front of her apartment door, scared for some weird reason. What if she had changed and I am still stuck in the past? I shook my head to rid myself of such silly thoughts, put my hand on the silver door knob, and turned.

I stepped through the door, trying to keep my heavy feet from making much noise. What good is a surprise if you are figured out, right?

I carefully made my way through the living room to the bedroom, the place I knew she'd be.

I stealthily peeked through the door way to see the blue cat and white dog perked up on her bed, now aware that I was in the room. I put my finger to my lips in effort to keep the two quiet, but it did not do me justice. Plus just had to bark. So much for a surprise, huh?

I watched her blonde head of hair whipped around and saw those pretty brown eyes widen.

"Natsu…" she breathily spoke.

I laughed more to myself than anyone else. "It was supposed to be a surprise," I said, "Hey, Luce."

Before I knew it, I was watching Lucy fling herself into my arms. I caught her without a second thought, but I backed myself to the wall, sliding down it to sit on the floor.

I sat with her in my lap as I let the silence take over as I sat and let her drench my shirt with her tears. I looked down at her and smiled. My smile faltered as soon as I realized I was crying too.

Once she finally looked up at me, she brought her small soft hands to wipe the hot tears running down my face. Almost instinctively, I closed my eyes and leaned into the warm touch that I had missed so much.

I opened my eyes again, to see her beautiful smiling face smiling back at me. I was home.

"I'm home, Lucy," I said sending her the biggest smile I had ever smiled in two whole years.

"Welcome home, Natsu." I heard her say before smashing the lips I missed so much onto mine.

The end…

Yay! Finished! :)
