Moshi-moshi fellow FT fans! I'm a HUGE fan of NaLu and I have read hundreds of fanfics- so much so that I got inspired to write my own fanfic. Sorry if there isn't much of the others. I wanted it to be just Natsu and Lucy(my Romeo and Juliet). I enjoyed portraying Natsu as a romantic hero..he is so adorable! Sorry for the extremely short chapter. My first fanfic guys, so please be kind. Enjoy and review!
CHAPTER 1: Flame of my love
Natsu's P.O.V.
"Hey Luce,
I hope you don't mind me calling you that. I remember how it all started as 'Luigi'. The day we met at Hargeon- It was one of the most fun times of my life! We immediately hit off as such good friends and members of the same team, huh? It was fun, saving your ass all the time and catching you after jumping off that tower. I know you'll whack me for this, but you ain't a princess! You're our Lucy, and you proved it from the way you fought by our side every time. I always regarded you as a comrade and a part of our family at Fairy Tail, but ever since that day….
Remember Lucy? The day we fell off the waterfall on the raft? I was terribly sick but you held on to me-and the touch of your hand said it all-that you would never leave me. I know it's a funny thing to say, for me, but I got this tingling feeling within me. No,not my motion sickness, but a certain warm tingling feeling in my heart. It was that day I fell in love…with you. In my stupid, immature and oblivious way- I love you, Luce. Your smile, your laugh, your chiding, and your love for Fairy Tail…I could never come up to you and say this, so I wrote it instead. I dream of you in my arms every day- cheesy thing to say, I know, but this is your kind of thing, isn't it? But I do love you truly and want you to be by my side forever. I can't show it, I just feel it. I don't think you love me but I wish you did. No one could extinguish this burning flame of my love.
I love you, Lucy."
I wrote, and scrawled my name at the end. I read and re-read my letter, feeling more stupid by the second. Why would Lucy like me? She's like a sweet and delicate flower…I'm just-yeah Gray you dumb ass, you're right-I'm just a flame brain. I could never understand the feelings of a woman. Even of the woman I love. I don't deserve Lucy. She's better off with Gray or Loke-
I clenched my teeth at the thought. But I had no right over her. She could do anything she wanted. She could love anyone. While I remained this way, keeping my feelings to myself. I crumpled the paper as I balled up my fists, ready to burn it to cinders like I did to all the 44 letters I wrote to her before. Walking out of my home, I went to the banks of the glittering river of Magnolia- at whose bottom the ashes of all my love confessions were laid.
Another long letter, painstakingly written, was held in my hand as I set a small flame to the edge. And as the sun set, I watched the paper burn till only "Lucy" could be seen. I really wish you knew how much I love you Lucy.
Letting the ashes flow into the river, I walked away brushing a tear from my cheek.
