It was another regular morning in Magnolia for a short blue-haired girl who sat in her room at the Fairy hills in the middle of the day, she was in trouble and she knew very well why. It wasn't something serious like a mission or battle, no... it was worse for her.
"Mmm... what do I do?" She asked herself out loud while she leaned back on the chair where she sat, in front of her was her notebook which had been empty and her pen next to it.
She leaned back and closed her eyes tightly as she clenched her hands.
'It was another normal day for Misa. Another day without anything special...' She thought to herself as she tried to find a way to start her new story.
It was the fifth time or so she thought about the beginning of her story, but without any success. Usually it wasn't a problem for her to think about her stories or characters, but this time it was different. The main reason that she can't concentrate was because the offer that she had received a few days ago.
X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X
A few days before...
"W-what?! Are you serious Mira?" Levy asked with excitement when she heard the news.
Mira smiled and showed her the letter that was intended for her "yes, it just arrived today with an answer".
"I hope it's something good! Please let it be something good!". Lucy said aloud praying for good news for her friend.
The blue-haired Mage opened the letter with trembling hands and began to read its contents. After a few seconds she jumped into the air with a smile and hugged Lucy. "they said they wanted to turn me into one of their writers!. I did it Lu-chan!" she was happy and you could see it on her face.
"That's great Levy! I am so glad for you!" replied the staler Mage as the two begun to jump into the air with joy.
What she got was a response from the sorceress newspaper to publish one of her stories. And the only condition is she needed to write a new one and send it at the end of the month so they can publish it.
X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X
"Ooh..." Levy sat on her chair and played with her pen in boredom and silence. She tried to think of the idea again and again but nothing came to mind as a new or interesting enough to put on paper.
"Maybe that's what you call a writer's block, Lucy said it was something that happened to her in the past while she was writing on her own when she was in her old house or she was nervous because..." She wondered before she jumped away in panic. "Why am I focusing on it instead of thinking about the idea!".
She had already tried to ask the opinion of Lucy or Mira but unfortunately for her the two of her friends were busy with a mission in the case of Lucy and photoshoot for a magazine for Mira.
'Maybe I will try to check the library...' She said to herself and made her way to the library that luckily wasn't too far away from her room and looked pretty identical in terms of the amount of books in both places, the only difference was the bed in her room.
The place was desolate and filled with books everywhere and anywhere possible, she began to read their titles but it didn't offer anything for her to read or look interesting enough to read a second time and give her the inspiration she needed. "Maybe it's hopeless?..." She asked out loud.
"What's hopeless?" asked someone who was standing behind her.
Levy who was too tired and wasn't expecting any company turned in surprise just to see her friend Natsu who was standing at the entrance to the library.
"N-Natsu you scared me! Didn't nobody teach you to knock?!" she said in a voice more embarrassed than angry.
"Not really. I lived in the forest before I joined Fairy Tail" he replied with a big smile.
"Ha ha, very funny" She said although a small smile came to her face. "What are you doing here? aren't you supposed to be on a mission with your team?".
The dragon slayer entered and set in one of the chairs that were around "Mmm..." He seemed to think of an answer to the question and folded his hands "I was supposed to be. But someone made me come and learn...". He said the last part himself.
"Learn? To learn what Natsu?" Levy was curious from the expression she saw on his face and got closer.
"Learn... Read..." He said still too weak for her to hear.
"Sorry what?".
"To read ok!" he replied in embarrassment.
"Y-You're serious? but I thought Erza already taught you when we were kids". She remembered the 'way' Erza taught the dragon slayer in the past.
"I-I forgot ok! It's not a big deal...".
...
It was quiet for a few seconds before Levy's laugh filled the library as she held her stomach trying to stop herself from falling on the floor.
"W-what's so funny?!" Natsu moved forward to her face just for her to laugh even more and more until she fell backward to the floor when she lost control.
"A-aren't you overreacting? It's not that funny!" Natsu who had enough laughter of the little blue-haired lifted her into the air.
"I'll show you!" he said with a smile full of teeth and began to tickle Levy who began to laugh harder than before and tried to stop him but to no avail.
"N-N-Natsu! Ahahaa! I-I'm sorry-Ahahaha!" she tried to say but her laugh was stronger than her and didn't let the words out of her mouth.
"What happened Levy? I thought you liked to laugh!" he began to enjoy playing with the blue-haired that started crying from laughter.
After Natsu finished with his revenge he put Levy on the floor with tears in her eyes as she let the air return to her lungs and got up slowly.
"How cruel of you Natsu... To do this to an innocent girl like me. You're just terrible". She said dramatically and turned her back to him with tears in her eyes, she had tried to make him feel bad.
"You asked for it when you dressed like that, I did what any man would do!" Natsu said with a big and shameless smile.
"Ooh... not bad Natsu, and here I thought you would you start to panic or something". Levy said in surprise as she realized that she couldn't get back at him like that.
"Of course! Who do you think I am, after all Lucy tried to do this many times and I never fall for the same thing twice!" he said proudly.
"Wow! as expected of Natsu. you're so smart!" she saw him scratch his head in confusion,'it always works...' she thought with a smile.
"So are you feeling better now?" he asked her with a serious gaze.
"Ah, I..." She finally realized her bad feeling from this morning was gone almost as soon as she saw him. "Yes, much better Natsu!".
"That's good to know. So maybe you can help me find something to help me?". He finally asked and pointed to one of the shelves that was close to him.
She went to the counter and began to go through some of the books that were there before she tried to move to the higher ones.
'Mmm!' she sent one of her hands as high as she could, but her height was an issue when it comes to things like that.
'I'm almost there! Eh?' she suddenly was at the same height of the shelf.
"What is it Natsu?" she asked just to see him smile back for an answer.
"You are going to help me right? So it's only fair that I give you a hand... or a lift".
...
"You know Natsu... I was asked to write a story for the sorcerers magazine. But I can't write anything..." She said in a voice that was a little disappointed in herself.
Without answering she simply scanned the shelves the highest one after another "it's supposed to be... Here!" she finally found the book she sought and marked to the fire Mage to put her down.
After her feet touched the ground, she gave him the book with a smile "here you go Natsu, just please try not to burn it...okay?".
"Yes leave it to me!" he said without noticing what she ment.
"Ahh... It's useless. I can't be like Mira or Erza". She murmured to herself before she felt Natsu who touched her shoulder.
"You want me to help you out?".
"You'll help me Natsu?" she looked confused.
"Yes! I may not look it, but I have a lot of ideas you can use!".
"No, it's okay Natsu... I'm sure I'll be able to handle it with a little time" she returned a smile and turned her back to him. "But... If you want I can help you with what you need to do".
"Sure! It sounds like a great idea! Thank you Levy!" the dragon slayer seemed pleased with the idea.
"Okay then, let's move this class to my room!" she said and pulled the fire Mage from the library and the books he might barn.
X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X
"Ohh... Your room looks. Kinda boring..." Natsu sighed as he walked into the room of the blue-haired and looked around.
"What did you expect to find?".
"I don't know... Something more interesting like a mountain of books or a laboratory of a mad scientist!" he replied as he continued to look around.
"Anyway, let's get to work" she said but smiled to herself. 'I know how you normally act in other people's houses, I heard about the things you were doing at Lucy's place. But I was smart enough to hide what I don't want anyone to see before I left' she thought to herself with a smile.
She suddenly heard Natsu who started to laugh out loud and turned to him only to see the pink-haired dragon slayer that sat on the floor and was leaning on her bed while he's holding to one of her notebooks with one of her old stories that she wouldn't let anyone see ever.
Her face became red and she ran towards him "W-what do you think you're doing?!" she asked with more confusion than anger and grabbed the notebook, she now understood very well what Lucy meant when she was complaining about the pink-haired all those times.
"What's the big deal? It's not like its your diary or something".
"I don't have a diary and that's even more embarrassing!" she answered and hugged the notebook close to her chest.
"Your strange Levy!" he replied with a smile and started laughing.
'Your the weird one!' she thought but calmed down after she saw his innocent smile. "Anyway its not interesting. So there's nothing to see...".
"Really? I think it could be quite interesting! No, I bet it is!".
"Where does that confidence come from?" she asked.
"I just know it's going to be interesting! So can you read it for me?".
"Eh? Why do I need to read for you?".
"Cause I'm curious after I saw your reaction... Please" his voice changed and caught her unprepared.
"F-fine, I guess if it's just for a little while". Levy finally decided to go with Natsu's request as he looked kind of cute, not that she'd ever admit it.
She sat down beside him but kept a distance from him and opened the book.
"Levy I can't see anything" He said he tried to see the contents of the book.
"So come a little closer..." She said simply. 'You don't have to complain about any-' was the thought in her head before she felt Natsu's hand on her stomach.
He immediately lifted her into the air and put her between his legs, her back facing his chest.
"W-w-what are you doing Natsu?" she stuttered in embarrassment when she landed on her new position between his legs.
"That way I can see and you don't have to move" he replied with a big smile.
'He's mocking me! But I can't show him that he can make me blush. I have to show him!' the little blue-haired settled in without moving too much and began to read from the book while she was trying to keep a straight face.

'How did I came into this situation?' Albel asked herself while she continued to run around the city with her pursuers who were hot on her trail. She moved between buildings and prevented them from following her, but not for long and she knew it.
"You seen where she went?!".
"She just disappeared between the buildings before I could catch her!".
"The hell! Find her! there is no way she could get away without us noticing her!".
Albel could see from her spot between two buildings and behind some trash cans her pursuers. These were the same people she saw that day, but this time they rode on two enormous lizards that didn't looked particularly friendly. 'I can't keep running and let them get me. And to wait for them to call for reinforcements and find me doesn't fit my style...' a smile came onto Albel's face as she lifted one of the covers of the trash canes that were on her side taking a second to prepare herself and threw it to the opposite direction.
'Kreng!'
"She's there!" one of her pursuers called while he and his partner began to advance to the source of the noise and missed something quick and blurry that came out of the alley that was behind them.
'Heaven and hell to me!' she thought and cross her arms for a few seconds before her hands started to glow with white light on the right side and black light that looked like a shadow on the left side.
In the second she finished she dashed to the rider that had his back to her.
'Terakshh!'
She hit her target and dropped him to the floor.
"W-what?!" his partner turned around when he heard something fell to the ground only to see the one they were looking for where his partner was and going to hit him with her fist with a smile that was visible on her face.
'Toshshh!'.
She hit him directly and let his body fly into some trash cans and crashing to them while she took his place on the lizard he rode.
"What a pity..." She murmured before she arranged her long blue hair.
...
A few minutes passed before Natsu spoke "say Levy why don't you describe the main character to be more like you?".
"Why would I do that? I made her better, cooler and stronger".
"I just think you could make her closer to you than completely different" He tried to point out before she stopped him.
"I know what you mean Natsu, but I preferred someone that people will like and be able to look at her like she's special".
The dragon slayer looked confused "really? I'd prefer if you were the main character, your much more cool and cute after all!".
Levy didn't responded and just hid her red face with the notebook she kept. Her heart was pounding loudly and she was afraid he would hear it. "N-Natsu you can't say stuff like t-that!".
"Why not? you really are cute Levy" he could not see the problem.
The blue-haired got up from her place between his legs and walked to her desk.
'Did I said something wrong?' the dragon slayer thought as he saw his friend come back with another notebook and back in her place between his legs. 'I guess not...'.
"What is it Levy? Another one of your stories?" he open the first page only to see that everything was empty.
"You said you would help me write no? So I will take your word Natsu... I hope you don't bother me" she said in a condescending tone.
"Where did this personality came from? This Levy is not cute at all!".
"I'm just trying to think of a new character. That way I can try to be a part of them before I start to build their personality".
"Really? You sound more like Lucy when she doesn't get what she wants" Natsu noted as he recalls the many times that the blond girl acted like when they were on a mission or when he decides to sleep with her as a surprise just for her to yell at him as the first thing in the morning, how selfish is she?.
Levy began to laugh out loud as she heard his answer "really? is that how Lu-chan sounds to you?" she took a breath of air "If that's the case then I love this character already!" Levy said and began writing with a smile on her face.
"Your weird L-" the dragon slayer began to say but the concentration of blue-haired's face stopped him as he looked at her.
...
It's been a few hours since Levy started to write and she did not stopped for a second until finally she came to an end of the notebook.
"I need another notebook..." She said before she noticed the time and felt the warmth of Natsu who was still behind her and she clung to his back, she noted that his heat was so delicate that made her forget everything and focus on the task at hand.
She turned her head to see Natsu's handsome face, he was still laying on her bed and now sleeping peacefully in the same position where they stayed.
His hot breath washed on her face when she turned to him and caused her to tremble slightly. 'How can you sleep in someone else's room so easily? You really are something you know... Natsu' The look on the face of the dragon slayer was gentle while his chest rose and fell with each breath.
She turned back and lay down on his back 'this is the only time I will let you be my pillow Natsu... I hope you appreciate it' She thought with a playful grin before she let his warmth spread in her body and let her relax and forgot she needed a new notebook.
...
The morning finally arrived as the Sun peeped from the window of the blue haired's room, Levy woke up as light hit her and caused her to turn her back to the Sun and to cover herself with a blanket.
After a few minutes of talking gibberish into the pillow she finally lifted her head and set on the bed, her eyes were still closed and opened again and again slowly with fatigue. Her hair was messy and all over the place.
After a few more minutes the blue-haired girl looked around. It was like every normal day in her room in the Fairy hills dorm, she felt that something was missing or just escaped from her thoughts.
"Mmm... What time it is?..." She began to mumble to herself before she felt something was wrapped around her body.
She's grabbed the hot thing she felt was around her neck and belly and looked at it in confusion.
"A scarf? Why would there-" she asked aloud tired then recalled the day before while her eyes opened in horror.
'Why is N-Natsu's scarf h-here? wait a minute where even is Natsu?' she began to look around trying to find the dragon slayer who fell asleep before her yesterday when they were on the floor at the foot of her bed.
"Wait a minute... We slept together on the floor... I woke up on the bed... Natsu's scarf is on me..." Levy began to try and calculate all of the things she knew and tried to figure out what happened yesterday, while her head started spinning about all the details.
"The most logical explanation is that... Natsu pulled us to bed and... removed his scarf and put it on me..." The little Mage's face became totally red, as she began to imagine her and Natsu.
She shook her head from side to side and push the thoughts out of her head. 'How can you think about stuff like that Levy! I have to stop borrowing the books Erza is reading...'.
She finally took off the white scarf and placed it on her bed and went to get dressed and to wipe the sleep from her face and try to reassure herself from the strange thoughts.
x-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-x
Levy was on her way to the Guild but it was her second stop. Her first stop was Natsu and Happy's House to give him the scarf back and ask him about yesterday despite the thoughts that ran in her head still without a solution. But for her bad luck he wasn't home and chances are he was at the Guild, and that means she would have to give him his scarf in front of everyone. She was also surprised to discover what she was able to write before she went to sleep. She couldn't figure out what caused the change and inspiration in the beginning but realized instantly the moment she looked back at the scarf of the pink-haired dragon slayer that was in a small purple bag that she took with her and smiled to herself.
'I guess he really did helped me without even knowing it' She smiled to herself as she remembered the feeling of heat that made her heart beat faster 'what do I think of Natsu?' she thought on her way while her hand was inside the bag as she touched in his scarf that was still warm. 'Well... I don't hate him, but maybe I...' the thoughts came and go until she reached her destination.
"Good morning Levy!" Lucy approached to her friend with a smile.
"Good morning Lu-chan!" she said back to the blonde as she scanned the Guild for a certain pink-haired dragon slayer but didn't see anyone who fit the description.
"I am sorry for yesterday Levy" Lucy began to say to her little friend. "Mira told me you've searched for me yesterday when I was on a mission with Gray".
"That's fine Lu-chan, I just needed some help with my story. But I'm alredy done with it" she returned with a smile to her blonde friend who told her about the job with the ice Mage.
The day went on as usual with Natsu who walked into the Guild and immediately began to fight with Gray after a short conversation of a few seconds.
'I can't give him the scarf if this continues'. Levy was sitting at the table with her teammates Droy and Jet who like always were arguing with each other about something she didn't listen to.
"What did you call me you icy ballerina!".
"You heard me you piece of coal!".
The two started to fight with each other until Gray threw his fist at Natsu who did the same as the fight between the two attracted the other participants from the Guild while enjoying one of the known fights of Fairy Tail. Levy pulled back so not to get pulled into the fight and moved to a position in a faraway place from the action as always, but nowhere was completely safe while the members of the Guild and various objects flew around in the air.
'Uhsshh'
The blue-haired could see something that came flying to her quickly, she saw a broken chair that was about to hit her before she had enough time to respond.
Something quick came behind her and pulled her out of the way of the object before she again felt the familiar warmth she felt yesterday and missed it.
The Mage's eyes focused on Natsu's eyes that hugged her gently "are you okay Levy?".
Levy's heart began to jump in happiness as she closed her eyes for a second 'so it really is like that?' she thought with a smile while she felt secure and safe in the hands of the pink-haired dragon slayer just like yesterday and knew exactly why. "Thanks to you, you saved me Natsu!" she smiled at him and a few seconds afterwards she handed him his scarf from her bag.
"Ah! My scarf!" he immediately took it from the blue-haired and looked at it for a few seconds before he wore it as always on his neck with a big and happy smile. "I thought you will forget it!".
"Well I know how much it means to you Natsu, I will never forget something like that".
"I had to remember how smart you are Levy! if I forget him with Lucy she would throw it away!" he wore a horror expression for a few seconds before he began to laugh.
"Natsu you can't talk about Lu-chan like that! She is your teammate and she won't do that" the blue-haired tried to justify her best friend and looked at the fire Mage who began to laugh.
"Levy are you okay?" Lucy approached the smell girl with a worried face and the other members of Shadow Gear that looked worried for their teammate.
A few minutes later Levy calmed down her teammates and turned to Lucy and Natsu and was going to ask him something. "Hey N-Natsu... I wanted to ask you something..." she started to play with her fingers out of embarrassment of what she was going to ask.
The fire Mage turned his head innocently to the blue-haired girl "what's up Levy?".
'This is your chance Levy!' she thought for a moment before she began to speak "well I-I just wanted to-".
The blue-haired couldn't finish her sentence before Mira entered the conversation.
"Natsu, can you help me?" the bartender asked after she stood next to him.
"What is it Mira? Something happened?" Natsu turn to her.
"Juvia got hurt from something and I need someone to help me get her to the clinic, can you help me?".
The dragon slayer nodded and began to follow Mira without waiting for what Levy was trying to say.
'It's soo frustrating!' thought blue-haired with red face and promised herself that she would try again when she get another chance.
"You sure you're okay Levy?" asked the staler Mage.
The little Mage finally managed to locate Natsu who left the clinic and the Guild, 'it's my chance!' she thought in her head while she began to follow the pink-haired boy who simply walked around town until she stopped at the Hill when she noticed she had lost the boy.
'Where did he disappeared to? he has pink hair so how could I lose him!?'.
"Looking for somebody?".
"Eeek!" the little Mage jumped with fright and turned fast only to fall to the floor.
"You alright down there?" Natsu pulled her off the ground and helped her back on her feet.
"I-I'm okay Natsu" She was embarrassed and tried to hide her face from him but to no avail.
"Great! So can you tell me why you're following me so far? did I do something?".
She began to laugh with a big smile "not at all Natsu, I just wanted to say thank you for today".
"That's all? It wasn't anything that serious. I'm always worring about my friends!".
'Friends?' his smile made her heart beat faster, but his words brought her back to reality. "And what if we weren't friends?...".
"What are you talking about Levy, we will always be friends no matter what!".
"I'm not talking about that" she started to say and felt her body trembling. 'This is my chance' the blue-haired took a small breath and looked directly into his eyes, "what if w-we were m-more than f-friends?".
...
No one said a word between the two for a couple of seconds as Natsu just looked at Levy without saying a word.
"N-Natsu?".
He turned his back to her "I've already told you. I will always be there for my friends and that will not change...".
"I-I was just thinking that-".
"It's not going to change..." he just said.
The blue-haired began to panic as she saw him walking away from her 'why is he going? I wasn't clear enough?' the thought crossed in her head and she began to run to the pink-haired and hugged him. "I w-wanted to go out with you!" she said out loud and stopped him from going.
...
"I-I l-like-" she started to say before she felt his hands holding her little hands and caused her to let him go.
"I already told you... It will not change. I'm sorry Levy...".
The dragon slayer began to move and left Levy alone with tears in her eyes 'why?'.
