I do not own Fairy Tail.

~X~

It was only a few months ago when we met. Thought to me it feels like forever. All of my best memories involve him. He doesn't know it, but he made my life better than anyone else could.

When I first met him it was the opposite of love at first sight. He was loud, messy, and ate everything in view. Plus the talk of a dragon for a father and a speaking cat caught me off guard.

I first knew I was falling for him on our first mission together. Maybe it was how strong he was or how reckless he is when he fights.

After every mission he gets hurt in I go home and cry. I keep trying to get stronger so he doesn't risk his life for me anymore. He's like my knight in shining armor rescuing me every chance he can.

The Phantom Lord attack was possibly the scariest time in my life. I took a chance and feel off that tower. I heard his voice and he caught me. He carried me back to the Guild and beat up Gajeel after the iron man abused me.

A trip to see my father made everyone jump to the conclusion that I was leaving the Guild. I could never do that. He cried when they came to get me. I don't think he realized the affect it had on me.

I thought I would never have a chance with him once Lisanna was back. He spent most of his free time with her. It freaked me out thinking that he wanted to be with her forever. The thought of them together disgusted me.

It takes all I have not to run up to him and express every pent up emotion I have. But I can't.

Natsu I've loved you longer than I've loved myself.
