Authors Note: This is a story that I am on this fence on writing. I am debating whether or not I should make this story long or if I should just make the prologue and the first chapter, If I see a decent amount of people reading, following and such, then I definitely keep going. That or I just keep getting bored that I just want to write.

The first chapter is probably a K or a K+, but it's going to be rated T for some suggestive themes in the next chapter.

Prologue

Lucy had been dreading this day for a while. She wanted to confess to Natsu and had been wimping out for the past month. She had so many perfect opportunities. She could have told him when she and him were on a job just the two of them and Happy. She had told herself that she couldn't do it with the chance of Happy over hearing and then she is rejected. That stupid cat would never let her live that down. She had another chance when Happy was sick so it was just the two of them. She told herself that she couldn't risk jeopardizing the mission by causing any awkwardness.

Today was the day the though. She was at Natsu's house outside his door trying to gain the courage to knock on the door for Natsu. She knew that Happy was at the guild hall trying to make progress with Carla, so she knew that it would just be the two of them. They weren't on a mission so she couldn't cause him to lose focus on something that would cause her to lose out on her rent money for next month. She couldn't think of anything to stop herself, causing her to be a little depressed.

She mustered up enough courage and knocked on the door. She heard some rustling coming from the inside of the house and the house and watched as the door opened revealing the rose haired dragon slayer. He was wearing his normal outfit but didn't have his shoes on yet.

He looked at Lucy and said, "Oh hey Lucy, you caught me just in time. I was about to go get my shoes on and go on to the guild. What are you doing out here in the woods?"

"I was wandering if I could come in side," she asked.

The salamander stepped out of the way and ushered her into his little house. "So what are you doing out here," he asked for the second time as he closed the door behind his teammate.

She nervously stood in front of the salamander in the living room of his house thinking, The faster you get this over with, the faster you can finally get this weight off your shoulders. "I wanted to tell you something in private."

"Okay, what is it? You can trust me."

She looked at the ground took about five seconds to gain enough courage and quietly said, "I... like... you."

She quickly looked up and to see his face. She saw him smile and say, "Well I don't know why that is such a secret. I like you too, we are best friends."

She became furious at how the fire mage could be so dense that he couldn't understand this. She started to feel tears accumulate in the corner of her eyes and she yelled, "That's not what I meant you idiot! I mean that I like you in the way that boyfriends and girlfriends do! I want to date you, I want to kiss you, I want to hold hands with you, I love you Natsu!" The tears began to flow from her eyes. She knew that this was getting out of hand so she headed for the door and said, "I should just leave."

Natsu had never thought of her in that way before. So he began to day dream of him and her holding hands, going on dates and kissing. He began to kinda like those ideas. Before she could reach the door he grabbed her wrist and said, "I had never thought of you as more than just my best friend. But after you said you want to kiss me and hold hands I began to think of kissing you and holding your hand, and I really liked the idea of doing that with you. I love you too, but I'm going to have to take this slowly to acclimate to this... whole thing."

Before she could say anything, he closed the distance between than and kissed for what would be the first time with many more to come. This will also be the first step into unfamiliar territory for the two of them.
