Lucy's POV

The war was over... It was finally over, and we won. We defeated all of the spriggan 12 and we defended Alkitasia from taking Fairy Heart from us. Zeref went missing and Natsu hasn't seen him since they fought before. I'm a little worried about us not finding him, but when Natsu was unconscious and not doing too well I asked happy what was wrong.

He dragged natsu into the guild in tears. We patched him up and Porlyusica said he would be ok, but happy still was down. Once I asked him, He told me that we couldn't defeat zeref. I was shocked and a little confused at his words but i kept listening. Happy said that once zeref dies, all of his creations would die too. I told him that was good but before I continued he screamed at me in tears.

"You don't understand!" He cried

"What is it happy?" I asked a little bit frightened.

"Natsu...he...he," Happy sobbed between words, "zeref told us he was...END"

My eyes widened. My mouth hung open and tears started falling down my face. This can't be. Zeref created END so if he dies...So will Natsu. I cried and hugged happy as he dug his face into my chest. We both didn't want anything to happen to our best friend.

We thought it would be best if we kept everything a secret. Gray wants to destroy that book and if he does that Natsu will...I didn't want to think of it much longer. I just hope Zeref stays away from us and never returns. I haven't seen Natsu in a while. He doesn't know I know He's END. I wanted to talk to him after everything was over but I couldn't find him. I really hope he's ok.

A week has passed since the war ended and we have almost finished putting the town back together. Erza has been fired up about fixing everything and has been ordering us around as she sits and eats her 50 celebratory cakes that were made for winning the war. After a long day of hard work fixing up buildings, I headed home. Natsu has been missing this past week and I was really worried. Happy must have gone with him too because I haven't seen him around either. I walked slowly to my apartment and opened the door. I didn't want to cry in public so once I went inside I started to break down.

"Yo." A familiar voice said. It was Natsu...eating my food. I wasn't expecting him so the tears were already trickling down my face and he saw this.

"I thought you left me again…" I said in between sobs. He stood up and walked towards me, worry in his eyes. I guess he didn't expect me to cry as soon as I saw him. He inched closer and hugged me tightly. Happy soon followed and hugged my head.

"No" Natsu said in a soft and sweet voice. "I'm not leaving without you Luce." He held me tighter and I just sobbed in his arms. He was warm, and I always felt safe in his arms. Natsu was always there for me and I didn't want him to leave me again. He loosened his grip and put his hands on my shoulders "Lucy, I have something to tell you."

I guess Happy didn't say anything about telling me he was END, because that was what the night consisted of. We talked for hours and I acted like I didn't know anything of it. He told me everything that was bothering him and said he didn't know if he wanted to tell anyone else yet. I could tell he was scared. Natsu talked about his fight with Zeref and how he was gonna kill him despite what would happen but Happy pulled him away. I was shocked to hear that but at the same time I knew Natsu would be reckless enough to go for it. We were both sitting on my couch and I sat closer and rested my head on his shoulder. He tensed up at first but shortly after he relaxed and rested his head on mine. We sat there in silence, but it was peaceful and comfortable.

I started to doze off and Natsu noticed. He got up, picked me up, and took me to my bed. He then set me down and was heading back to the couch. I watched him in my covers as we moved happy to the side and laid down himself. My eyes started to get heavy and before I fell asleep, we made eye contact and he smiled a little.

"Don't worry Luce, I'm not going anywhere."
