Hey Guys! New story YAY! I'm sorry I haven't written anything in a while. also if you review that would be great i need advice on how Lucy should help Natsu become Natsu again and get rid of E.N.D, This story is a bit more mature than what i usually write but i'm giving it a go! This story is based on artworks #fairytailsanddragonscales on Tumblr. They were really amazing artworks and the story really inspired me.

Disclaimer: I give credit to #fairytailsanddragonscales for the first two chapters because they're basically the plot of her artworks and i do NOT own fairy tail...Wish i did but hey what can you do?

Lucy walked into the lobby of the hotel that she and Natsu were staying at. It hadn't even been a day since he returned to her after that long, painful year of loneliness. She was so happy he was back, and they were going to find everyone again and rebuild Fairy Tail! She walked around the lobby until she finally caught a glimpse of salmon hair at one of the tables. She began walking towards him when she noticed that he was itching at the bandages on his right arm. She was beginning to get a little bit suspicious about those bandages, he hadn't taken them off since he and Happy got back, and she had come to the conclusion that he was hiding something from her.

"Hey Natsu!" she called over to him as she came to a halt beside him, his fingers immediately retracted from the white bandages.

"Yo Luce!" he called by way of greeting,

Her eyes lingered over his arm and before she lost her nerve she spoke, "say, Natsu, you've had that bandage on for ages. Do you think your arm has healed? Or, do you want me to change them for you?" she asked as she reached for his arm.

He was all too quick to react, he slammed his fist down on the wooden table, slightly cracking it as he stood up and shouted "NO!"

He gritted his teeth before standing up and walking towards their room, it was late, she presumed he was headed to bed but his reaction shocked her out of speech. She was so surprised that she didn't even try to stop him from leaving. She stared after him but what she saw made her blink in disbelief, it only lasted a second and then it was gone but she was shocked. NO! I'm hallucinating! I did NOT just see that! She reasoned with herself, I'm probably just hallucinating but I swear I just saw wings!

It had been an hour since Natsu stormed out on her and she decided it was time to go to bed. She opened the door to their room and tip toed across to Natsu's bed. She would normally have gone straight to her own but curiosity was overwhelming her. Maybe I'll just creep over and take a quick peek underneath the bandage, he'd never even know, she thought to herself. He was lying on his side, his scarf under his head like a pillow and his expression peaceful. She got closer and closer to the bed and it was becoming harder to keep quiet as her breathing became more rapid. She began to sweat and she took a nervous gulp when she came up beside his bed. She slowly inched her hand towards his arm, she was only a few centimetres away when something grabbed her wrist. She turned her head to see Natsu's left hand wrapped securely around her own. Chocolate orbs met intense onyx ones, neither wavering for even a second until Lucy spoke up.

"Natsu, about those bandages…" she began but was cut off as his lips collided with her own.

Her eyes widened in shock, Natsu was kissing her, Natsu was actually kissing her. They broke apart for a minute, her face flushed and tinted a pretty hue of pink.

"Wait…Natsu, this isn't, we shouldn't…" she began stammering

He placed his palm on her cheek and his lips came crashing down on hers again, this time with more fervor and intensity. Only this time, instead of breaking away she kissed back. It was intense and needy, it was urgent and long overdue. Soft pink lips crashed against rough ones, the kiss deepened and he pulled her onto his lap. He was clad in only his boxers and she became very aware of the small distance between herself and his toned chest. She also became very aware of her own attire and realised that there was only her thin black singlet, pair of grey shorts and his boxers between the two of them. Her heart felt like it was going to leap out of her chest at any moment, she could hear it humming in her ears. She trailed her hands over his abs, melting under the intensity of it all. She was becoming lost in the kiss, drowning in the moment that she had waited so long for. Then she remembered why she was there. She suddenly remembered the bandages and realised this was her only chance to find out what he was hiding. She grabbed the broken key of Aquarius from her belt loop and trailed her hands up along his arms, not breaking the kiss for even a second. When her left hand reached the top of his bandages she sliced down along them with the broken key. His eyes widened in shock as the white cloth that had been covering his arm fell in pieces to the floor.

Lucy looked at his arm and leapt away from him. She stared in shock, the hurt and pain written all over her face.

"N-natsu? That's…that's a-a Tartarus….. a Tartarus guildmark…"

He was clearly caught off guard and his confusion soon turned to agitation, this was not in his plans but he'd make it work anyway.

Lucy's hurt and pain was soon replaced with anger. She tried to think, what could this mean? She couldn't understand why this had to happen, she felt so betrayed but then understanding dawned on her. She knew what she had to say but couldn't find the words and then as if out of nowhere she found exactly what she wanted to say.

Hope you enjoyed chapter one! Again if you could PM or review with ideas on how Natsu can become normal again that would be great!
