Prologue
"You have a choice." The woman said, clearly growing impatient. "It would be wise to make a decision soon, girl. I don't make these kind of deals often, and I advise you to not take this offer lightly."
"To see my mother again..." Lucy murmured, tears forming on the corners of her eyes. "Mama..."
Natsu looked at the blonde, smiling sadly. So this was it...
Lucy wiped away her tears, smiling brightly. "I'll do it!"
"Beware , Lucy Heartfilia. This decision could change your current position in the present, along with everyone else's. Are you sure?" The woman's tone was indifferent, but she spoke words of concern.
Lucy quickly glanced at Natsu, before throwing herself at him, tackling him. Natsu didn't even hesitate before wrapping his arms around her.
"I'll find you, wherever I'm going." Lucy promised. "I have to do this."
"I know," The dragon-slayer said, his eyes pricking painfully as he tried not to cry. "I'd do the same for Igneel."
Lucy smiled as tears threatened to fall again. "Don't stop looking for him, Natsu. Never stop searching for the one you love."
Natsu felt the tears stream down his face, the ache of openly letting Lucy go. "Here," He quickly wrapped his own white scarf around her. "Give it back to me wherever you're going."
The blonde's eyes widened at the gesture. She knew the scarf meant everything to the fire mage. "Natsu..."
Lucy couldn't stop herself as her head leaned closer to him, and his head tilted in, their lips meeting for the first time- their lips meeting anyone's for the first time. But the kiss was perfect bliss.
And when they closely broke apart, Lucy cupped his face, mumbled, "I'm sure,", before kissing Natsu again, a single teardrop trickling down her cheek, as her whole body shone with a brilliant light, before she was gone completely. Natsu openly sobbed, and the woman gave the dragon-slayer a pitying glance. And then the whole world was bathed in a luminous glow, before all was still.
A/N: Hi everyone! This is my second fanfiction, and I hope you like it! I currently have another Nalu fanfiction, called "Beneath the Lies" in an A/U, but I got this idea, and even though I have homework and another story I'm writing, I decided to put this idea into words. It's confusing now, but you'll soon figure out the story behind it. Hope you liked it and please review!
