Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail!

Hey people! I decided to do a story full of nalu one shots. If anyone has any idea please review or pm me about them. That would be very helpful. No worries, I finish Let Her Go first before I really get into this. This will just be a side project.

Please review! Tell me how I did!

Enjoy!


Lucy was so close. She knows she can finish today! It's not like she had to be anywhere. All she had planned was to go to the guild, but it was ok if she was late or didn't go at all. She just needed to do this last thing.

Lucy was finishing her book. She had one last juicy chapter to write. Her eyes gleamed as she thought about what to write. Her book was about her own adventures. She was going to break them into at least three different books. There were too many to cram into one or two. Now that she thinks about it, she only got past the Galuna Island job, which was her second. Maybe she should add the Phantom Lord adventure to the collection in the book.

She went to place her elbow on her desk rather heavily, making her call out in surprise at the pain. She pretty much missed the desk, having hit her funny bone on the edge. She giggled at herself, finding it slightly amusing.

Then she gently placed her elbow on her desk, making sure she did not miss it. She did not want to hurt herself again. With her elbow finally settled, she placed her cheek in the palm of that hand and sighed. She had been so excited. She had thought she would finish. "You may have to wait a bit to read my book, Levy-chan." Lucy said to herself, as if the short, blue-haired script mage was in the room with her.

"Why are you talking to yourself, weirdo?" A male voice asked behind her. Lucy jumped and squealed in surprise, not having expected the bright pink haired fire mage to appear in her bedroom right them. She once again hit her elbow on the edge of the desk. It hurt more this time, though. She cried out in pain as she spun in her chair with a surprised look. To make matters worse, her chair tipped over on her.

Lucy would have face palmed about how stupid and clumsy she was being if she wasn't hurting herself so much. "Lucy!" Natsu called out in surprise. He rushed forward to catch her before she tipped over all the way.

Natsu grabbed her chair and steadied it while she was still in shock from her clumsiness. "Be more careful!" Natsu said in relief that she hadn't fallen and hurt herself more. Lucy grabbed her elbow and hissed in pain, not believing how much it stung right then. "It's your fault for surprising me like that!" Lucy retorted angrily. Natsu raised an eyebrow. "But I called your name three times before you started to talk to yourself." He explained, looking at Lucy in confusion. Lucy sighed and hunched over, laying her arms on the desk. Her head was next to go down, as she put her head in her arms and sighed.

"Sorry, Natsu. I was just thinking about my book." Lucy told him. Her grinned childishly and jumped onto her bed, making the pillows jump slightly into the air and land in a different spot then they were. "It's fine. So, how's the book going? Almost done?" He asked her. They had been putting off doing a job for the past week so she could finish it.

"Well, I thought I had one more chapter to write today." Lucy started, glancing over at him. He had already made himself at home, fluffing the pillows and moving her blanket aside, deeming it too hot to lay under at the moment. "Then what's the problem?" He asked. He had seen how she was thinking about the book in a thoughtful way. "I'm thinking I want to add more to it." Lucy explained simply, so he would understand easily.

Natsu put on a thoughtful face. "Well, why don't you leave the book alone for today and take a break? We can do anything you want." He proposed, knowing fully that he would probably regret saying that in the end. Lucy's eyes lit up as she snapped her head toward him to look at him. "Anything?" She asked, to make sure she heard him right. Natsu hesitated a bit before nodding his head in agreement. "Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Lucy shouted, getting up and running toward him. She jumped onto him and hugged him tightly in happiness. "So, I'm guessing that's a yes?" Natsu asked, his head slightly turned to hide a blush that Lucy did not see.

Lucy nodded, wondering why Natsu was turning his head. "So, what do you wanna do?" Natsu asked Lucy. Lucy fidgeted a little. "Uhh.. I know this may seem a bit childish, but...ummm.." Lucy was stuttering. She was a bit embarrassed. "Just spit it out, Lucy." Natsu said, rolling his eyes. Like he could judge what was childish. "Ok, you know that new arcade that just opened? I wanna go there and play the games." Lucy said, mailing with excitement.

Natsu's eyes lit up in excitement, too. "How is that childish?" He asked. That sounds fun!" Natsu continued, not letting her answer. Lucy giggled as she smiled happily. "Thanks Natsu" She said as she started to get ready. She was grabbing money from her draw when Natsu stopped her. "I'll pay for anything today." Natsu said with a soft smile. Lucy smiled and thanked him, not going to let the opportunity get past her.

"Hey, where's Happy?" Lucy asked, finally noticing the annoying, blue-furred exceed was not anywhere in the room with them. "He went to the guild to see if Charla was there and to get fish." Natsu told her as he watched her get what she needed. She was just putting up her bangs in a side pony-tail with a blue ribbon. She was wearing a white blouse with blue linings and a blue matching skirt. "Ready!" Lucy called as she finished putting her hair up.

"Great! Lets hurry up and go!" Natsu said, jumping up and down as he waited impatiently for her. Lucy giggled at him and said "You look like a child waiting to go on a trip." She said. Natsu grinned sheepishly. "I wanna go already!" He whined. Lucy giggled once more, seeing how he was just going along with what she said. "Ok, lets go." She told him as she stepped out of her house. Natsu, of course, went out the window. He appeared next to her as she stepped out of the apartment building she lived on.

"So, Lucy. Where's this arcade?" he asked. Lucy looked at him in surprise. "You don't know?" She asked, faking as if it was disappointing that he didn't know. "No, I don't" Natsu frowned, not catching her in the act. "Now, that just won't do, will it? It's a couple blocks from the guild, in the other direction from my house." She said. It dawned on Natsu that she was just kidding about how it was disappointing that he didn't know.

"Lucy! You had me going there for a second!" He pouted. Lucy laughed at him. She always found him to be funny, whether he was trying to be or not. He always cheered her up with the fiery personality he had. "Sorry, Natsu. Next time you should catch me in the act if you don't want to be laughed at." Lucy said happily. She jumped onto the ledge that she always walks on along the river. "Be careful, Lucy." Natsu warned, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes. She had been clumsy today, after all.

Lucy nodded as she started humming a tune. They continued to walk in a comfortable silence. Lucy was in her thoughts, thinking about her book. "Oh!" She shouted, slapping her forehead since she just had remembered something. Natsu glanced at her. She looked at Natsu with an apologetic glance, which gained a confused glance from Natsu. "What?" He asked in concern. "I forgot I had promised I would do something with Levy today, would you mind if I take a rain check?" Lucy asked hopefully.

Natsu thought about this. A rain check means she would do this another time, right? Then she has a nothing to apologize for. "It's fine Lucy. We can do it another time. What do you have planned?" Natsu asked. He was a little disappointed that they wouldn't be able to go out today, but at least he would be able to another day. "We planned a girls day out. You know, like going to the spa or the market to look for jewelry or clothes." Lucy explained, feeling a bit bad for blowing Natsu off. "You sure you're ok with this?" She asked, just to be sure. She didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Natsu nodded. "It's completely, absolutely, positively fine." Natsu said, grinning at her with his fangs. That smile always means nothing is wrong. Lucy sighed under her breath in relief, happy to find Natsu wasn't mad at her for that. "I'm meeting Levy at the guild. Wanna walk there with me?" Lucy invited him. She didn't mind going alone, but would prefer to go with him. "Sure." Natsu said. He swung an arm around her shoulder causally. Lucy didn't mind since he is always invading everyone's personal space.

Lucy stopped walking right before the reached the guild. Natsu sensed that she stopped and glanced at her. "Is everything ok, Luce?" Natsu asked in a caring tone. Lucy shook her head. Her hair covered her eyes as she looked at the ground. "I feel bad for ditching you. You're always to caring and helpful and happy and cheer me up and I'm just sad and not thoughtful and..." Lucy trailed off.

Natsu stared at her with shocked eyes. How could she say something like that? It angered him and concerned him at the same time. Natsu closed his eyes as he calmed down enough to think of what to say and do. "Lucy.." He sighed. Her walked toward her and took her into his arms. He held her tight against his muscular chest. "DOn't ever say anything like that about yourself again!" Natsu commanded, still closing his eyes. He could feel his shirt getting wet from a few tears that she could not hold back. "B-but..." Lucy stuttered. "Ever!" Natsu said loudly, over her stammering. Lucy sighed, seeing this was something he was going to be stubborn about.

"Ok." Lucy breathed out. She tried to pull away but Natsu held her against him longer. "Promise me." He said lowly, just above a whisper. Lucy nodded. "I promise." Lucy whispered. He squeezed her once more before finally letting go. Natsu pushed her in the direction of the guild. "Now, go have fun with Levy! I'll be waiting for you when you get back!" He said, smiling once again. He can never stay sad or down for too long.

It just wasn't Natsu. Natsu smiled, seeing her walk into the guild and then back out with Levy.

"I always wait for you!" Natsu whispered. Lucy turned around and stared at him. She gave him a wide smile and waved at him. He grinned back, finding her smile contagious. "I'll be waiting!" He reminded her, once again. She fully turned and yelled "I know!" back never once breaking her smile.

Natsu couldn't wait for that rain check.
