Chapter 1: Beginning of the end
"No! Please leave him alone! NO!"
I suddenly woke up in a cold sweat, panting. Feels something warm beside me, I pull the covers off my bed and of course Natsu and Happy! "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" They both jump off my bed immediately, Natsu hit his head. I giggle a bit but recompose myself. "Sorry we wanted to tell you something when you woke up, but then we got bored and I guess we just fell asleep" I swear they're gonna lead me to an early grave! sigh "What did you want to tell me?" He grinned his big goofy grin "We found a job! And it pays enough for your rent this month" I smiled too but then he stopped to look at me "hey are you okay?" I wiped the sweat from my forehead, "Yeah I guess before I yelled at you guys I had a nightmare" Natsu looked concerned and then he grinned again "Well everything's fine now me and happy are with you" he pulled me into a hug and I can feel my face burning up, I hate when this dense fire idiot does this! I don't know what to do. I pushed him back a bit "So what's the job about?" "OH YEAH! We have to kill some monsters and defeat some dark mages that are terrorizing the townspeople" I blush from how close Natsu's face was to mine and happy butted in "You liiiiike each other!" I blush furiously and chase happy "Come back here you little brat!"
~TIME SKIP (1 hour at the guild)~
Natsu burped after finishing a buffet of food "That was delicious Mira thanks!" The white haired Mage looked back and smiled. Natsu turned back around to fight with Gray and I see Mira from the corner of my eye smirking evilly, she knew I liked Natsu and is always trying to set us up but I don't want Natsu to get suspicious. Curse her and her matchmaking! I look back to the rest of the guild and their rowdiness. I smile, it's been almost a year since I joined fairy tail and I have been on the biggest adventures including my most recent one in edolas. I'm glad that's over now we're all back together again and this time for good! Speaking of friends, "Hey Natsu! Did you tell Erza and Gray about the mission you and I are taking together?" Natsu and Gray stop fight "What mission?" Erza walks over "Yes, what mission?" I clear my throat "Oh me and Natsu are going on a mission together on the outskirts of Hargeon to kill some monsters and defeat some dark guild members" this seemed to peak Erza's interest "It'll probably take us a week, I'll write letters to you everyday since this is mine and Natsu's first mission we're doing alone together without happy" Erza nodded her head "Oh and they're paying 3 million jewel" Both Erza and Gray spit at the same time "3-3 m-million you say?" Erza said trying to keep herself up "Me and Gray shall acquaint you then!" I sweat dropped from my forehead "Ehh! Gomen Erza! Me and Natsu already accepted the request and talked it over with Mira" Erza went on all fours like she had been defeated "Ah I see then" "I'll buy you 3 strawberry cakes when I get back! Will that make you feel better?" Erza stood back and acted like her normal self "See you when you get back then" and walked off, well more like skipping. Gray came up to me with a smile "Good luck and don't let flamebrain over there cause too much damage" I smile back "Mm!"
Natsu was on the doorway of the guild "Come on Luce the train leaves in 30 minutes!" I grab my bag (already packed up within the time skip :3) and head out, I wave "Bye everyone see you soon!" They all stop fighting "BYE LUCY! BYE NATSU!" they all said in unison and go back to fighting. We headed out the door and started to walk towards the train station.
OH MY GOSH THIS MEANS ME AND NATSU WILL BE ALONE TOGETHER COMPLETELY AND I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN BEFORE BUT NOT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME!(I scream internally while remains calm on the outside with a hint of blush)
