Natsu Dragneel and the Five Smiles of Lucy Heartfilia

It may come as a shock to most of the people that knew him but-
Natsu knew things...
And then he didn't.
Like, Natsu knew that fire was destructive, he just didn't know how destructive until his house burned down due to a training exercise.
And Natsu knew that Ezra was scary, but he didn't know that she was like that because she thought of him as a younger brother.
He also knew that Gray was incredibly irritating, and he did know that Gray was like that because Gray knew that Natsu knew that Gray knew that it really pissed Natsu off when-
When Gray was around, really.
But the other mages in the guild also knew things. They knew almost everything that Natsu knew and lots more that he didn't.
They knew that Natsu would never be able to control his temper.
They knew that Natsu would protect his nakama even if it killed him.
They also knew, partially due to Mira's troublesome meddling, that there was no spell nor charm nor potion that would enable Natsu not to fall for his curvaceous partner.
And she for him.
But they didn't know that Natsu knew something that they didn't.
Natsu knew that his pre-mentioned partner had smiles.
Five smiles, to be exact.
And one rainy day when he was stuck in the guild hall with nothing to do and Lucy shot him another one of those infuriatingly confusing quirks of the lips, he decided that he was going to do something that had never been accomplished, or even tried, before.
Natsu Dragneel was going to find out what each and every one of Lucy Heartfilia's smiles meant.
And he'd do it. All. By. Himself.

AN/ So even though I hate putting these things on the page I believe that I owe some people a few apologies.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to make it look like I died, but I do have a good reason!
As soon as I finish it (which may be a while) I'll be posting a legacy of a story!
It's HUGE- like 20k and I'm only a quarter of the way through it (okay, it's not that big)!
But until that is finished you will all have to settle with this rather awesome (if I do say so myself) 6 chapter story. I do hope you all enjoy it!
