Disclaimer : My most favorite Fairy Tail belongs to the great Hiro Mashima.

*although this imagination is mine ;)*


- this story happened before Tartarus Arc, few weeks after Fairy Tail returned to Magnolia -


Chirp chirp.

The birds were twittering happily as the new day began. The sun was shining bright and white puffy clouds were floating in sky. It was certainly a good day. Deep down in the forest, a small house was spotted, hidden in tress. A teen boy lived there, along with his blue exceed partner. He was sleeping peacefully, until suddenly he snapped his eyes wide open, sat up and gasping for air. Sweat dribbled down from his head, and suddenly he felt so hot, he couldn't breathe. That nightmare haunted him again. For Igneel's sake, why did that nightmare always haunting him? He was gasping for air, but slowly he steadily breathed. Gosh, he hated that dream. He felt his heart was crushed. As he slowly closing his eyes, the image also slowly came back.

He found himself in a middle of a destroyed building, his body was stiffen, his red haired friend was crying and his exceed partner fainted. His dark haired rival was down to his knees, unable to move a single muscle. He himself was looking at something which took his breath away. He widened his eyes, as tears slowly dripping down from his onyx eyes, watching with horror as his most important person and precious person got beaten up. He screamed and ask the opponent to stop, but he got evil laugh as the reply. His beloved person wasn't moving either. Then, she was thrown by her opponent, slammed down hard onto the ground, completely not moving at all. He screamed in agony as her blood's scent roamed in the air.

The boy let out a sigh.

"Natsu? What's up?"

The boy - Natsu Dragneel - turned his head and looked at his exceed partner, Happy. The cute little cat was rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Sorry, Happy. Did I wake you up?"

Happy nodded weakly. "I was laying down on your arm and dreaming about fish when suddenly my pillow - your arm - gone."

Natsu smiled. "Sorry."

"Why did you suddenly woke up? Something's bothered you?"

Natsu smiled and rubbed Happy's head. "Nah, don't worry. It's just a dream."


Natsu was sitting at the furthest corner of his guild. He placed his elbows on his knees, hid little bit of his face behind his hands and stared at a certain person who's laughing at the guild's bar. Natsu suddenly smiled when beautiful memories of them came back to his mind. Even though the one that he's been watching was about ten meters away from him, he could still see her perfectly.

He remembered how he first met her. He asked her to come with him, resulting her joining the guild. Since then, they have traveled a lot, doing missions together as a team, shared grieve and happiness together, to the point Natsu felt different towards her. Towards his beloved. Towards Lucy Heartfilia.

He could feel his heart beat faster whenever he was around her. His grin would just slip away stupidly. At some point, he would blush madly and hid his face. He felt extremely happy when he was around her.

He remembered when he saved her from Phantom Lord. Back then, to him, she was just his best friend. And as his motto always said, he cared deeply about his own nakama. But he could not forget when he caught her falling from the tall tower, and how he piggyback her to take her back to the guild.

He remembered when he first realized that his best friend was someone strong. He recalled when she summoned up her entire celestial spirits, desperately tried to save Loke. He smiled.

His memories of the time they both spent together came back to him one by one. And, somewhere along those past times, he found himself unable to move his gaze away from her. He became so protective of her, and always looking for her. His heart started to pound heart, whenever he saw her came to the guild. And even though she didn't wear any provocative clothes - except her skirts - anymore, he found her more gorgeous than ever.

He gradually became scared to lose her, unable to see her or hear her. All he ever wanted was for her to be by his side, completely became his. His heart felt like it was crushed whenever he saw her injured. That's why, when he saw her brutally tormented by that insane old lady from Sabertooth, he felt anger boiling up inside of him. He couldn't think straight, all he knew he just wanted the old ugly lady to stop. Stop tormenting his other half. He was really pissed off when he saw her badly injured.

But, the top of all was when the Eclipse Project thing. When he saw the Future Lucy was killed by Future Rogue. His heart was crushed to pulp when it happened. And he felt really bitter when he realized if it weren't because of Future Lucy's shield, the Present Lucy will be dead. And he won't be able to see her anymore, not in present, not in future. And that thought crushed his heart. That's when he knew and admitted.

He fell in love with Lucy.

And he knew it wasn't a simple crush. He has fallen hard for her, and he wouldn't dare to think what kind of days he would face when Lucy wasn't around him.

His gaze became softer as he saw her laughing. She's truly beautiful, brave and strong. She's kinda weird but to him that's super cute.

He didn't know when exactly he fell for her. All he knew now was he wanted her to be his. For good.

"What the heck are you doing here alone, flame moron?"

Natsu hissed. He was snapped back from his daydreaming. "Get away, stripper."

Gray Fullbuster laughed and sat beside Natsu. "So, you're watching her. When will you confess?"

Natsu turned his head quickly, as soon as Gray asked. "Wha - what? How.."

"Oh come on, dense flame eater," Gray said. "I'm not blind. I knew exactly that you fell hard for her."

Natsu blushed a little bit. "Said the guy who always denies his feelings." he grumbled.

Gray smacked the pink haired dragon slayer's head. "At least now me and Juvia are officially dating!"

Natsu snarled. "Whatever, pervert boxer."

Gray sighed. "You better confess to her already." Natsu stayed silent. "Or she will be taken by someone else." Gray continued.

"Hell no," Natsu gritted his teeth. "she's mine."

"Then prove it. Make her yours, block head." Gray said.

"Why should I listen to your advice?" Natsu asked sarcastically.

Gray shrugged. "Because you knew I'm telling the truth."

Natsu hissed. Then, he saw Erza was approaching Lucy. They talked about something, and he saw Erza waved her hand at them. He and Gray walked closer.

"Let's go. We had a mission to do." The red haired mage said.
