~I'm a huge fan of Natsu and Lucy! But I don't know very well how to put them out into a story, so I dare say this story may or may not be good.~

~I do hope though that you will enjoy it.~

Natsu x Lucy

`Set after episode 50`

Chapter 1

Mirajane had started up another conversation mentioning Gray.

Mira: "Hey Lucy."

Lucy: "what's up?"

Mira: "Nothing really, just a passing thought."

Mira: "Do you think Gray might have a thing for you, you'd be so cute together."

Mira had both hands cupping her face, you could just see all the heart floating around her. Lucy panics.

Lucy: "OH! Don't you even go there. I can't go through that again!"

Mirajane ends up confused.

The next day.

Mira: "Lucy?"

Lucy was pouting, her head was buried into her folded arms at the bar. She wasn't in any mood for talking with either Natsu or Gray, she had to start thinking about paying rent.

Lucy: "ARRRRH! If I don't get another job soon, I'll have to move out!"

Lucys hands violently went through her well done hair, clearly screaming out her frustration. Mira giggled as she watched her friend on the other side of the bar scream about rent money.

Mira: "Remember before I mentioned about Natsu having an interest in you?"

The question was out of the blue and Lucy freaked out.

Lucy: "Oh, No! It wasn't like that at all! He just wanted to show me something! It was stupid any ways! That damn idiot!"

Lucy practically jumped off her stool, at her last words she banged her fist on the counter. Mira stood shocked to see her guild mate react to her mentioning Natsu. She was use to her calling him and idiot, but this reaction seem different to her usual insults.

Mira: "Could it be the blooming of romance?"

Mira began to fan girl, you could just hear the "Kaay's" coming from her.

Lucy: "What romance!? Natsu wouldn't have a clue about stuff like that!"

This time it wasn't her fists that hit the counter it was Lucys head. Her hair fell to cover her face, but steam came out of her ears and neck. Mira laughed.

Mira: "I think, because of what I said before you realize you actually like Natsu."

Lucy: "Like in a million years!"

Lucy screams within her arms. She paused for a moment to think what else to say to convince Mira that she wasn't beginning to grow some sort of romantic interest in Natsu. But she came up to a dead end, was it because that she did like Natsu that she couldn't come up with a desent excuse? what could she say to get out of this conversation?

Lucy: "It's not like that, I don't like him."

Is all Lucy could say, she didn't like the taste the words left behind or even the sound of it. But what else was she going to say it? None that she could come up with, A small familiar, annoying voice came from behind Lucy. She turned around violently to stare straight at the two guild mates before her.

Happy: "Lucy doesn't like Natsu!?"

A flying blue cat with a green back pack and pure white wings, started to cry. Happy floated there with Natsu standing behind him.

Natsu: "I see, I guess happy and me are just a bother to ya."

Natsu had a sad face on, he looked really hurt. Happy was the first to head out, crying while he was at it. Natsu changed his expression from hur to emtionless, a poker face. They were friends for so long, he was the reason she was even able to join Fairy Tail in the first place and she hurt him. With only for 4 words she pushed him away.

Happy: "I guess this is good bye Lucy!"

Lucy: "Wait! That's not what I meant!"

Lucy reached out to stop the two Fairy Tail friends that were walking out on her. Before Lucy knew it the guild hall doors slammed behind them. Mira looked worried. Lucy could only stand there with her still stretched out hand, frozen with guilty shock.

Gray: "Way to put it smoothly, Lucy."

Gray laughed a bit, then turned serious.

Gray: "But that was a bit harsh don't you think?"

The other guild members all nodded their heads in approval. All the current guild memebers were watching the commotion between Natsu and Lucy before she even noticed. Lucy was frantically waving her hands about.

Lucy: "That's not What I meannnnnnt!"

Lucys began to tear up, to the guil they were just tears but to Lucy it was a "Way to go Stupid! Way to go!"

LATER THAT DAY.

Lucy: "Great now I got to go look for Natsu and Happy. I hope that he isn't that upset, he should know me better that I didn't really mean what I said."

She was on her what home, walking on the edge of the water bank like usual. A boat slowly move in the opposite direction of Lucy.

Boat man: "Blondy, better watch where you walkin', don't want yourself to fall in do ya?"

He yelled across to her like every day she walked home. Always looking after her, she wave back at him. She usually just ignored his calls but today...well today she felt like writing to her mother. Every time she did she was always nicer to people around her.

Lucy arrived home, looking around jumping between places looking for Natsu. She was sure he would be there again, barging into her home with out notice. She just automatically thought she would see him sitting on her chair eating all her food with Happy. Then she could yell at him like usually and tell him to get out. Sadly, he wasn't there.

Lucy: "I thought he would be here. I guess I really did hurt his feelings."

Afterwards she sat down at her desk preparing to write to her mother.

Dear, mom

Today was any other day, but like usual it took a turn for the worst. My landlord came to me this morning complaining about how late I always pay my rent. I ran away mid-sentence, retreating to the Fairy Tail guild.

But even there I still couldn't have peace, Mira keep to about my romantic life. I usually don't mind about her ranting on about that kind of stuff but sometimes it's frustrating how right she can get. Out of my own embarrassment I said a mean thing in the subject. Basically I said I don't like him.

With everything he does, like barging into my home with out permission. Eating all my food and making a huge mess in my room. He reads my book with out asking and always messes up our jobs. Everything about him lead me to suppose to dislike him, but I like all that. It makes us a pair, and awesome team! It's kinda hard to explain to you mom, but I hope you get the picture.

Sadly he was there just in time to hear me say my god forsaken comment about not liking him. I hurt his feelings, just thinking about it now make me feel terrible.

Well, I think I'll go find him now. I know what I said was not nice nor was is right, I'll be going to apologies.

Love you lots, mom.
xoxoxo

Lucy put down her pen, and folded the letter up. Lucy stayed sitting down for awhile think about how she just confessed part of her feeling about Natsu to her mother. After thinking a bit, she dicided to go about how to find Natsu, she quickly jumped in to the bath and got dressed.

Today she went with the same dress she had when Natsu had asked her to meet under the Sola Tree, after the whole 'Natsu may like her' fiasco. Just thinking about it made her heart beat, she couldn't tell the difference between an actual like or just because someone pointed it out, like. Though she thought it would be nice to 'dress to impress.'

Lucy: "Oh come on! Natsu is a really close friend, It's impossible not to like him!"

She told herself. With out realizing it, once she left the house her feet brought her straight to the tree. She looked up from staring at her feet to see Natsu napping under the shade. Not much of it was left with the setting sun. She smiled to her self. Upon walking up to them she noticed Natsu was sleeping, to her surprise he wasn't snoring like he always did. Happy on the other hand was fast asleep, talking to himself too.

Happy: " Natsu, where's my fish!?"

Lucy: "Oh Happy, always thinking about fish food."

She giggled. She did like being around the two of them, and she most certainly had way more trust in Natsu than a normal friend did. There was no doubt now that Lucy did indeed like Natsu. Lucy looked up into the sky.

Lucy: "Sorry Natsu, I still like you. I didn't mean what I said before."

Without Lucy noticing Natsus mouth curved to a smile.
