Fixed version! Sorry about the code crap! x.x

Natsu

Climbing into Lucy's window into her house was part of my routine by this point. As I climbed in one night, I was surprised to see she wasn't in her bed, like she usually was, waiting for me. Instead, she was at her desk, her head resting on some papers, and I could tell she'd just fallen asleep.

I couldn't help but smile at her sleeping form. It was just like her to fall asleep while she was writing. I gently picked her up, sliding an arm behind her shoulders, and an arm behind her knees. She automatically leaned into me, snuggling her head into the crook of my neck.

"Aw, Luce." I chuckled softly at her unconscious actions.

Before I turned, something on her desk caught my eye. It was a piece of paper, folded in half, with only the very top showing, where the words "Dear Natsu" were written.

"Did she write something for me?" I thought to myself as I debated whether to pick it up or leave it be. After a minute, I decided on the latter. If she had written for me to see, she'll show me someday. Besides, Lucy would probably knock my teeth in if I read it without her permission.

I walked over to Lucy's bed, and put her down on it. As I removed my arms from under her, trying to be careful and not wake her, she suddenly made a grab for my arm, her fingers locking around my wrist.

"Nat...su..." She breathed out softly, pulling my arm closer to her again. She was practically using my arm as a pillow at this point. I sighed lightly, deciding to go along with her.

I lowered the rest of my body down beside her, and she immediately snuggled closer to me.

If I was being honest with myself, which didn't happen a whole lot, Lucy and I have been teetering on the line between best friends and wanting to be something more.

I'll admit, she has a good amount of vanity, but she more than makes up for it in the other aspects her her personality. She has a kind heart, and never hesitates to help someone in need. She's unflinchingly loyal, especially to her nakama. I had always thought she was pretty, but as I laid beside her that night, I realized she was far from just "pretty."

Her face was lit by the moonlight streaming in from the window, her messy hair everywhere, and her lips in an adorable pout.

To me, she looked otherworldly.

I brought the hand that wasn't underneath her head to her face, my fingertips lightly brushing her hair back.

She sighed softly in her sleep, looking very content. "Natsu..." She whispered my name softly again.

Lucy would sometimes talk in her sleep, but I never heard much outside of sighs and grunts, and occasionally my name. So I sure was surprised when I heard Lucy mumble 3 words I thought I'd never thought I'd hear her say to me.

"I love...you...Natsu..." Her face scrunched up slightly, her eyebrows creasing. "No...come...back..."

"It seems whatever dream she's having took a bad turn..." I thought to myself. Instinctively, I hugged her closer, whispering as well, "I'm not going anywhere."

She relaxed a little more, her breathing slowing down to show she'd fallen into a deeper sleep.

"No more talking tonight, I guess." The thought had a slightly disappointed edge to it. "Guess I should sleep too..." I thought before falling asleep rather quickly myself.

Lucy

Warm...It's so warm... My thoughts were hazy as I slowly awoke. Huh? Why...

There was a light weight on my hip, and when I opened my eyes, I saw what it was. Natsu's left arm was under my head, while his right laid lazily around my waist.

"I don't remember seeing him last night..." I thought before I remembered that I feel asleep at my desk last night. "Natsu must have moved me to the bed..."

He was still asleep, with a peaceful and serene look on his face, one that I couldn't help but stare at.

He twitched in his sleep, moving his arm under my head slightly, and also moving his head closer to me. Our faces were inches apart, and the closeness made my cheeks go scarlet red.

After a few seconds however, Natsu's relaxed expression tightened for a split second before his vibrant, green eyes opened.

His sleepy expression stayed the same for a few seconds while he looked at me, but as soon as he realized how we were positioned, he jumped away from me, pulling his arm from under my head and his other arm from it's spot lying against my waist.

"Uh...good morning?" He said sheepishly, his cheeks turning a light pink.

"Morning." I said after a moment, giving him a smile.

When he saw me smile, he grinned his signature toothy grin, and sat up to try and avoid an awkward silence, throwing his legs over the side of the bed. He started stretching while I sat up as well.

"So, what do you want for breakfast?" I asked casually, sliding off the bed and standing up.

Natsu had a spaced-out look on his face, so I shook his shoulder gently to snap him out of it. "Natsu!"

His eyes focused on me before he let out a "Sorry" and blushed again.

My eyebrows creased at his suddenly strange behavior. "Natsu, is something the matter?" I asked slowly, giving him a no-nonsense look.

His blush deepened at my words, and he looked away bashfully. He didn't answer for a few seconds, but instead, after those few heartbeats of silence, before I could even see the action coming, his hands grabbed my wrists, pulling me close enough to him so that he could press his lip to mine.

I was frozen in surprise for a second, but almost immediately, I relaxed and kissed him back, my eyes fluttering shut.

He released my wrists as soon as he felt me respond, pulling my down to sit in his lap. My arms unthinkingly moved to wrap around he neck, and I deepened the kiss ever so slightly, running my tongue along Natsu's lower lip.

He hesitated in surprise for a moment, but then kissed me back just as feverishly.

His arms encircled me, holding me close against him. After a second or two more, he pulled back, and grinned that stupid, toothy grin at me.

"Where did that come from?" I asked breathlessly, trying to calm my erratic heartbeat.

"I...I've wanted to do that for a while now..." He admitted sheepishly, but still grinning nonetheless.

"Well, I don't see why you waited so long..." I said coyly, smirking at the shocked face he made.

"So you..." He trailed off, an uncertain look on his face.

And that's not an emotion you ever see on Natsu Dragneel.

"Love you? I do, even though I wonder why sometimes." I teased him, but my smile was genuinely happy.

He returned the smile, his arms tightening around me for a moment. When his hold on me loosened, he asked me lightly, "So you're my girlfriend now, right, Lucy?"

My cheeks were pink, but I still nodded at his words. "If that's what you want me to be." I said softly.

"Always." He murmured, kissing my knuckles lightly.

"You know, you never answered my question." I said, and he gave me a confused look.

"You're so forgetful." I said, unable to stop the giggle that escaped me. "What do you want to do for breakfast?" I asked him again.

"Can't we just go to the guild and let them feed us?" He asked, a whining edge to his voice.

I sighed to cover up another giggle, and slid off his lap. "If you really want to. Just let me go change." I said before grabbing some clothes and going into the bathroom.

Natsu

Lucy went into the bathroom after grabbing some clothes, leaving me to my thoughts. "Lucy...is my girlfriend now!" I couldn't help but say gleefully, smiling widely.

After a minute or two, Lucy came out of the bathroom. "Ready?" She asked me, her voice light.

"Yeah!" I responded with a grin. She smiled back before a giggle escaped her.

"Your hair's all messed up." She told me, he voice sounding amused as she ran her fingers through my probably unruly hair, fixing it to her liking.

"There. Now, let's go." She said, grabbing her belt with her keys and whip, fastening it around her, then grabbing my hand, and we walked all the way to the guild hall without letting go.

When we entered, our hands still twisted together, to say a few people were staring was an understatement.

The whole guild was staring, I think!

Lucy pulled me over to the bar, and a huge smile broke out on the white-haired barmaid's face.

"What can I get for you two?" She asked, emphasizing the words "you two."

"The regular, please." Lucy told her.

"Same here." I said when Mira looked my way.

"Coming right up!" She said cheerfully, practically skipping to the back to make our food.

Lucy

"Luuusshieeee!" I heard a familiar, blue cat's voice call my name, and when I turned, happy flew over, landing on top of my head.

"Oh, that reminds me! Where were you last night, Happy?" I asked the blue exceed curiously.

"I stayed with Wendy and Carla last night, because Natsu said he wanted to talk to you alone. Because he liiiikes you!" He told me, drawing out the word "like."

I pulled him from the top of my head, smiling happily as I petted him behind the ears. "Yeah, I know."

He purred in appreciation, but still asked Natsu, "You're dating Lushie now, right?"

Natsu blushed, but still mumbled out a "Yeah," trying to hide his smile.

"Natsu and Lucy, sitting in a tree, K - I - S - S - I - N - G!" Happy started to sing, Natsu groaning at his partner's antics, while a giggle escaped me.

"It's about time, Pyro. Was wondering if you were ever going to man up and ask her."

Both Natsu and I turned at Gray's voice, and he sat on my other side, away from Natsu, who he was smirking at.

Natsu glared at him as he responded. "You're one to talk, Ice Boy. you haven't had a girlfriend for very long either!"

Gray shrugged, still smirking. "Still, I got mine before you." He practically bragged.

(I have a Gruvia one shot where they become a couple ^^)

My hand suddenly smacked the back of his head, and he yelped in surprise. "What the heck was that for, Lucy?!" He exclaimed, rubbing his head where I popped him.

"Don't talk about Juvia like she's some sort of inanimate object." I said testily, a warning clear in my voice.

Gray shrunk back, nodding quickly. "Okay! I won't, I'm sorry!" He said, raising his hands in surrender.

Just then, I noticed Juvia, who had hung back to listen to our conversation. When she saw me notice her, she came over, giving me a smile.

"Oh, did you hear that, Juvia?" I asked casually as she neared, alerting the boys to her presence.

"Yes, Juvia heard the conversation." She said softly as she sat on Gray's other side. "And Juvia appreciates what you said, Lucy-sama." She said to me, her voice more timid than usual.

I gave her a smile, and then Gray spoke up. "Juvia, I didn't-" He started to speak, but Juvia put a finger to his lips to silence him.

"Juvia knows Gray-sama didn't say what he did to offend Juvia." She assured him. She lowered her hand, and intertwined her fingers with his.

Mira came back with our food then, her expression suggesting that she might start jumping up and down in joy any second.

"What's with that expression, Mira?" I asked with a laugh as she put the food in front of us.

"It's just...all my ships are coming true!" She practically squealed in delight.

"Ships...?" I asked, an eyebrow raised.

"Oh, I'm talking about couple pairings!" She explained gleefully.

When the four of us gave her strange looks, she elaborated further.

"Gray and Juvia, Natsu and Lucy, Jallal and Erza, Romeo and Wendy, Happy and Carla..." She said, counting off with each couple she named.

When the last one came out, the blue Exceed that had been sitting in my lap quietly this whole time, suddenly exclaimed, "Me and Carla?!"

"Well, yes, of course." Mira said, her voice taking on a slight "duh" tone. "I have a lot more, those are just a few." She said, waving off our surprised looks. "I do pride myself in being Fairy Tail's matchmaker." She said proudly.

"That's Mira for you!" Natsu said, giving her a grin, which she returned before Natsu started scarfing down his food.

I started eating as well, enjoying the company of my friends.

The guild was it's usual rowdy self, and I thought to myself, content, "This is right where I belong."

Fin~!

I hoped you liked the Nalu fluffiness ^^

And I couldn't help but throw a little Gruvia in there as well hehe...

Sorry not sorry xP

Anyways, Arigato!
