Hey, guys! This is my first fanfic. I'm a huge Fairy Tail fan and I just love NaLu! I hope you all like it!
I am publishing this on my birthday, hehe. I hope it works out.
"The One Magic is the origin, the source of all magic," she said with a beautiful but knowing smile, her words holding a deep meaning.
A blonde haired girl with chocolate brown eyes was walking back home with a cheerful smile on her face. Lucy was very happy today. After all, she had managed to buy the latest bestselling book written by her favourite author. It was almost time for lunch, and she made up her mind to at least read the first chapter before she ate.
She reached home, and opened her door, only to find two creatures lying on the couch.
Lucy controlled her anger at the sight of Natsu and Happy. It wasn't the first time they broke into her house. Her anger quickly dissipated when she noticed how glum their faces were.
"Natsu, Happy, is something wrong?" she asked worriedly.
Happy rose from the couch and flew to her. "It's horrible, Lucy," he cried. "There's no hope!"
"What do you mean? What happened?"
This time Natsu spoke. "You have to help us, Lucy!"
Happy hugged her. "We have no money, and we haven't eaten since morning!"
"Give us food!" Natsu pleaded.
"This is not a restaurant, you morons!" Lucy yelled as she kicked them both on the face.
After she calmed down, she said, "If you want food, I'm sure Mirajane would give you some. Just go to the guildhouse."
Rubbing his face, Natsu broke into a grin which always reminded her of sunshine. "But we wanted to eat with you."
"Aye!" Happy agreed.
She placed her hands on her hips as she stared at their smiling faces, and sighed in defeat. "Fine. I'm starving as well. Let's go!"
As they went out, Lucy placed the newly bought book on her bed. Friends are more important, she told herself with a fond smile. I can read it any other time. And they headed to a nearby restaurant.
Lucy narrowed her eyes as she watched Natsu and Happy eat all the food they had ordered. The amount of food the two were eating could have fed at least fifteen normal people. Or maybe more.
It reminded her of the first day they had met, and she had taken them to a restaurant just like today. She smiled to herself.
"Why are you smiling like that Lucy?" Happy asked in the middle of the eating. "It's creepy."
Lucy grinned darkly. "I'll show you creepy. Watch your back, cat."
After they were done eating, Happy dozed off in Lucy's lap. She patted him softly on the head.
"Thanks a lot, Lucy," Natsu said, grinning brightly with one hand on his bloated stomach.
"You don't have to thank me," she told him.
"You are right. I can pay you back by protecting you forever!"
She couldn't help but smile at that. "Idiot. You have always protected me. I believe in you. I have believed in you ever since I joined the guild. You're my special friend, Natsu."
He leaned towards her and raised his hand to pat her. He didn't say a thing. But that small gesture was enough for Lucy.
Someone watched the blonde and the pink haired boy from the shadows.
"Target spotted," a voice murmured quietly.
