Lucy sighed nervously as she walked along side her long time partner on the way to their next mission. You might be asking: Why is she nervous? Well, the mission seemed more difficult than she was used to
"Luce you'll be alright." stated the salmon-haired dragon slayer. "You worry to much."
Lucy stated silent as her heels clicked against the pathway. How could she not worry? She could possibly DIE on this mission. Or WORSE. She could lose HIM.
Natsu sighed and stopped walking. "Luce..."
Lucy stopped walking and looked up at her favorite dragon slayer. Her brown eyes filled with confusion. "Why'd you stop?"
Natsu grabbed both of the blondes hands and held them tightly in his. His sharp onyx eyes met hers and took a deep breath.
"Don't be worried alright. I'll be there to protect you. We're both strong and I'm sure we can take this think down!" The dragon slayer said with confidence in his voice.
"Thanks Natsu." The celestial mage replied with a soft smile.
"No problem." Natsu said grinning. He started walking again.
But there was one thing Lucy noticed:
He didn't let go of her hand.
