DISCLAIMER - I do not own Fairy Tail!

"Guess you won," Natsu whispers softly into her ears as he gives her a £20 pound note and chuckles, then tears started running down Lucy's face.

"For once," Lucy says to Natsu as she smiles and looks down at her feet. She looked like a mess.

Natsu's grip tightens around Lucy's waist. He puts his index finger under Lucy's chine and have the thumb on the chin as he tilts her head up. Natsu gives Lucy his signature smile. He starts to kiss her forehead, then moves softly onto her lips.

Past - Half Way Through Year 7 (Highschool)

A piece of paper lands on Lucy's desk as she stares at it. Turns her head to look at Natsu, then looks back to the paper as she picks it up and begins to read it.

'Have you ever thought about the future?'

Lucy rolls her eyes and begins to write on the back of the piece of paper, 'Too many times... What about you?'

She tosses it to Nastu's desk as he open and reads it.

Lucy felt anxious as she waits patiently for Natsu's reply as she watches him write something on the piece of paper.

Natsu flings it back to Lucy as she begins to read it.

'Naw, what's the point? I'd rather go with the flow and whatever happens in the future was fated for me'.

Suddenly an idea popped into Lucy's head as she begins to smile and writes, 'guess what?' And throws it back to Natsu again.

Natsu reads the piece of paper, he turns to look at Lucy and gives her the 'really?' look and begins to write on it, then quickly tosses it back to Lucy as she begins to read it:

'What? This better be good Luce.'

Making Lucy chuckle at Natsu's response. She writes back, 'I can see through the future and that will be we getting married someday'.

Lucy was holding in her laughter, making Natsu question at what she was doing as she passes the paper to him.

Natsu gives her the 'you-gone-crazy-girl' look and mouthes 'liar', but Lucy couldn't quite catch what Natsu was saying, as she give him 'what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about?' look.

Natsu roll his eyes and write on the paper and throw it back to Lucy and reads.

'You girl are a liar and are you sure wanna make a bet on it? Knowing I probably win this as usual!'

Making Lucy remember all the bets they made as Natsu endless winning them all. Then puts a determind face on and writes, 'why not? I see no harm in this bet'. Then flings the piece of paper back.

Natsu smirks at the paper begins to write and in no time, he passes the paper to Lucy as she quickly reads it.

'Alright, I bet it on for £20 pounds, that we won't get married to each other before we are in our 30s'.

Making Lucy smile and turns round to look at him to find the school bell ringing while everyone packs up their stuff.

"Deal?" Natsu says as he holds out his hand.

"Deal!" Lucy says as she shakes his hand while Natsu does his signature smile making Lucy's cheeks go a rosey colour and looks away.

"Lucy and Natsu!" the teacher shouts at them.

"Yes miss?" Lucy says nervously as she looks at the teacher stood in front of her.

"You have a 10 minute detention along with you Mr Dragoneel for exchanging notes and not paying attention in class" the teacher says.

Making Natsu groan and sits back in his seat and Lucy sigh. When they turned to look at each other, they began to giggle.

Past - Last year of Highschool (Year 11) - Night Time

"Hey Luce?" Natsu says, as he walks with Lucy to her house from the karaoke party.

"Yeah Natsu?" Lucy says, as she felt the summer breeze crossing her face, while Natsu stayed behind her.

"I'll be leaving soon..." Natsu says quietly as he gazes up to the sky, making Lucy stop in her tracks. Her eyes widen as she felt her heart stop. All they could her in the silence was cicada's sound in the distance. She turns around to look at him.

"What?" Lucy says looking confused, as Natsu looks back down and stares into her eyes.

"You heard me Luce, I'm moving to New York with my dad due to business reasons and this will be the final time we see each other and say goodbye for real," Natsu says louder as he clenches his fist.

"But, you can always come and stay with me and see if your dad agrees or you could..." Lucy says she felt her eyes become moist and clasps her hands.

"I already did that what you said," Natsu says tranquillity as Lucy continues to say something to make Natsu stay, but she didn't hear him.

"Lucy! I already told you I did what you said, but nothing stopped my dad from changing his mind!" Natsu says out loudly as he grabs hold of Lucy's shoulder and stares at her eyes.

"But, but..." Lucy says as she felt her tears nearly breaking through but still held them back, while she struggles her way out of Natsu's grip.

"JUST STOP IT LUCY! NO MORE BUTS! THERE'S NOTHING YOU COULD DO NOW!" Natsu shouts at Lucy as he shakes her.

Lucy felt her world has shattered into a million of pieces. She felt lost and lonely.

She just stood still, clenching her hands and shaking. Then stops clamping her fists as Natsu gently let's go of her shoulder.

Then Natsu's eyes widen as he feels something burning against on his cheek and finds himself looking to his side. He touches his cheek and turns to look at Lucy with her hand over her chest in the air and her head down.

Lucy begins to lift up her head with tears running down her face, making Natsu notice what he has done and stood still as Lucy runs off in the distance.

Natsu felt something deep inside his chest had broken somethinag that can't be replace, fixed or undo.

"Luce?..." Natsu says as he continues to stare at her figure. His arm reaches out for the figure and tries to grab it but her figure disappears into darkness.

He clasps onto his shirt. Something had stabbed him a numerous of times as each stab grew deeper into his chest. No his heart.

"SHIT!" Natsu shouts out loud as he punches the lamp post. Suddenly he felt something wet running down his face, he goes and touches it to find himself crying...

Lucy enters the house quietly as she takes her shoes off in the dark. Then someone turns on the light making Lucy hiss.

"Lucy, darling?" Layla says in a worried tone as she leans against the door frame in her PJs.

"Hello Mama, sorry I came back late tonight," Lucy says as she force herself to put on a smile hoping Layla wouldn't have notice her red eyes.

"Darling, you shouldn't have made me worry so much," Layla say in relief as she pulls Lucy into a hug.

"You worry too much Mama or you get wrinkles faster," Lucy says as she hugs back and begins to laugh.

"Haha very funny Lucy," Layla says as she continues to hug, as things go silent and awkward.

"Mama have you heard about Natsu moving to New York?" Lucy asks knowing how close her mum and Natsu's dad is and her feelings for him.

Layla pulls a concerned look as she hugs Lucy. "Yeah, sorry I couldn't tell you earlier could have gotten Natsu a present to remember us," Layla says sadly as she feels Lucy girp tighten.

"It's alright..." Lucy slightly wimpers as she tries to hold back her tears.

"It's all gonna be okay Lucy you can let it out," Layla says as Lucy begins to sobs letting her emotions out, while Layla pats her head.

Couple minutes later Lucy calms down and stops hugging Layla.

"Darling you go clean yourself up and I make some tea for us", Layla says as she pats Lucy on the head and smiles.

"Okay mama," Lucy says while she nods. Then goes upstairs and enters to her bedroom.

As she closes the door she leans against the door, slides down to the floor, brings her knees up to her chest. Grabs her phone out of her pocket to see 17 calls missed and 20 text messages received all from Natsu.

She looks up at her ceiling and says, "that idiot..."
