Yay! New fanfic! Anyway, after this one shot, I will be working on a couple of multi-chapters... (I hope I can) before school starts. There's like 5 weeks more before school starts again, and I don't want letting some of you wait an entire year for another update. Gaah, Idk. Anyway,Here it is. Enjoy :)
Natsu's POV:
I don't even know what to do anymore. Mira told me to build up some courage and just tell her. But, come on, telling someone that you like them, isn't as easy as beating Hades. (Maybe, I can die, in that sort of way though,) but I might as well die if I just get broken in the end... Oh what the heck, I know you're thinking about me being a very very dense person, that if you tell me you like me, I would just say, "I like you back, we're nakama right?" In that sort of way, but come on, after 7 years of sleeping I could say, I'm not that dense person everyone thought I was back then.
Oh, sorry, slipped my mind, Who am I going to confess to? Didn't you already know that though? No? Seriously? Okay, maybe I'm just talking to myself, I'll just say it, straight forward.
My one and only partner and bestfriend (Besides Happy), Lucy Heartfilia. Yes, I did fall for that blonde almost everyone was after from the start, (Even that ice bastard, Gray was) I just realized, some nin nin ninjas went bouncing inside my stomach, and I don't know what to do. So I did what any dense person would do... Ask Mirajane.
Gaah, I'm talking too much, aren't I? Maybe, I'll tell her...next month? Or on her birthday? Maybe Christmas? Valentines' day? St. Patrick's day? How about Halloween? I don't even know. I am hopeless. Very hopeless. But I really don't want ruining our friendship or partnership because of these feelings. I don't, honestly. I heard about that feeling when you tell someone or a close friend of yours, you like them, then they don't feel the same, both of you really feel awkward and just regret confessing. Believe me, that's true. Mira told me it was.
"Baka, baka, baka!" I punched myself on the head, fire within my fists.
"Ne, squinty eyes." Obviously, ice pee called out. "What do you want, droopy eyes?"
"What's wrong with you?" Oh yeah, no one knows besides Mira, Erza (she forced me tell her), and Levy.
"That's none of your business, stripper."
"You know, I'm your friend too. Come on, Natsu." Ugh fine.
"Erm, promise you won't tell Lucy?"
"You didn't burn her house down, did you?" With that, I smacked him on his head. "Of course not, idiot!"
"Hey! I'm sorry okay. Don't tell me you burned the book she's working on?" Another smack on the head.
"Oi! Would you stop that? I'll stop guessing, now what?"
"I, uh, kinda, sorta, maybe, um..." "Just get on with it!" "I like Lucy." I whispered, and the stripper didn't really seemed surprised. "Well?" I asked him, waiting for any reaction.
"Oh sorry. 'Oh that's quite a shock, what are you going to do now?'" Gray said in an annoying voice and a bored look.
"You aren't surprised at all?"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Almost all of the guild knows that. Congrats, dumbass."
"For what?"
"For finally realizing it." I sighed.
"You all think, I'm THAT dense, aren't you?" He nodded.
"So what are you going to do now?"
"I don't really know. Maybe soon, I'll confess."
"Soon? Don't you want to do it now?"
"Of course I do, but I just think the timing's not right..." I stole a glance at the girl that caught my eye the first time we met at Hargeon. She was chatting with Mira, Levy and the other girls.
"OI NATSU!" Gray shouted right at my ear. "Gaaah. What?!"
"Did you hear what I just said?" I shook my head.
"Ugh, I said, tell her now."
"Can I just tell her next week?"
"Next Monday? No way, Tomorrow."
"Thursday."
"Wednesday!"
"Saturday!"
"Friday!"
"Sunday."
"Fine, Saturday. but be true to your word. Make her yours now, before someone else takes her."
"And who might that be?"
"Hm...Me?" We stared at each other's eyes, then we bursted in laughter. "Yeah like you would do that. You like Juvia right?" I asked simply teasing him, silencing ice pee, blood rushing up to his face. Ha, gotcha, stripper.
"Y-yeah, just tell her, a-alright?" He said, then standing up, who knows where he's going?

It was getting late, so I decided to go home, of course, I won't do that before stopping by Lucy's apartment, am I right?
"Yo Luce!" I saw her bolted upright her seat, somehow, turning pink. Hm, wonder what's wrong?
"E-Eh? Natsu? Why?"
"It's getting late, we should probably go home!"
"WE?~" The girls teased, aye, these girls are just. I caught Lucy blushing a bit. Hm.
"I'm going home! C-come on Natsu!" She hurriedly ran towards me, I replied her with a grin. I slung my arm around her shoulders, seeing as it's shivering outside.
"Thanks Natsu."
"No problem. Now come on, we better head home."
"Yeah, alright."
Yup, Finally here.
"Okay, Natsu, I'm going to take a shower. Don't come in alright?"
"Yeah yeah." I replied, pretending to be bored. But I'm not...of course.
To be honest, I was always comfortable of me and Lucy just being like this; Best friends. Partners. Me always barging in her house using the window, not minding the door, Her 'Lucy Kicking' me out the window. Me always arriving unannounced, as if every time I visit, she's just coming out from her bathroom.
If I ever try and confess to her, and ruin all of this, then I would really be all a waste of time and power. I don't want to switch to an awkward state, almost forgetting the times we shared because of that. Because I know that bringing back all those things would really be harder than beating Master Makarov.
"Ah~ That feels better~" Lucy said, getting out of the bathroom, all fresh. Dressed up in pink pajamas, teeth freshly brushed, hair neatly combed, all ready for bed. That was fast.
"Ne, Lusheee!"
"What is it Natsu?" She yawned.
"Can I sleep with you? Pweasee?" I pouted hoping to get the celestial mage's 'yes'. I grinned at her.
"Eh, Fine, Whatever." She yawned more, pulling the covers on her, I guess she's really tired. I snuggled beside her, her back facing against me, placing my arm around her waist. I felt her tense up a bit, then she quickly relaxed. She was shivering a bit, so I pulled her close, I want to at least help her sleep comfortable.
Looking at her like this, her this vulnerable, I just want me and only me, to see her like this. Nobody else. I can be selfish okay.
Seeing as it is now, because of me realizing my uh feelings towards her made my thoughts change a bit. Not thinking about food or fights or anything. Just Lucy filling my mind. (not dirty thoughts! filthy minded you lot!)
Thinking about anything and everything. As cliche as it sounds, If you gave me 10 jewels for every time I think about her, I'll have 10 jewels. You already know why, of course. Because she never left my mind.
Thinking was never me. OBVIOUSLY. But come on, if you would like someone, you can barely focus. That is what I'm feeling now. Before realizing this sort of stuff, I'm not the one to focus either. I can focus when it's really a serious matter, but other than that, it was all FOOD, FOOD, OI ICE PEE, AND FOOD.
Sleeping almost every night like this, right next to the girl I love, with her not knowing isn't really a bad thing. I don't want anything change, 'cause with her in my arms right here is pretty alright.
And, before I do that long awaiting day, which is this Saturday, with 5 days left. Before anything of that, these remaining days left..well, I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it.
Still hoping for the best, but I'm kinda expecting the worst. She's all or nothing.
"I really do hope you're gonna accept Luce, confessing to you would be like throwing my life on the line," I chuckled softly to myself, whispering every word. "As cliche as it sounds, it might be true." Some of you might gag at that, but someone telling you that he or she loves you back is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to you. I feel really cheesy right now.
Lucy's sleeping figure turned around and right now we're face to face. I felt those ninjas again.
"Oh, and I hope you'll stop putting all those make up on, 'cause you're already beautiful, alright?" I touched her cheek with my thumb, smiling. I leaned forward, kissing her on the forehead.
"I wouldn't change a thing."
Yeah! Finally done. Anyway, I don't know if this will really be a one-shot or a two-shot. Maybe I'll post how he'll confess. I don't know. Oh um, sorry If I made Natsu THAT cheesy and cliche, but believe me there are so much more fanfictions that are cheesier than that, I swear. So um yeah, tell me what you think!
