Chapter 1
Lucy sat at the bar enjoying her meal when all the sudden…
"We're back!" Natsu yelled kicking the guide door open.
Lucy jumped a little at the sudden yelling that filled the strange silent guild hall. 'I wonder if it's always like this when we leave on a mission.' Lucy thought to herself, turning around to see Erza, Gray and Wendy walking into the guild behind Natsu. Happy and Carla flying above them.
"Lucy did you miss me?" Happy asked flying toward her with everyone following behind.
"Sure Happy." She said smiling at him. She turned towards everyone else.
"How was the mission?" She asked.
"A success." Erza stated, she then turned and smacked Natsu in the back of his head.
"Ouch what was that for?" He asked rubbing his sore head.
"For kicking the guild door open! Honestly, Natsu how many other things do you have to break?" Erza said smacking him again.
Instead of arguing, Natsu turned to the side and continued to rub his head. Lucy smiled. His pouting face was honestly the cutest thing ever. Wait what was she saying?
"Lucy you should have seen us take down that monster. When didn't know what was coming when Natsu punched him out cold." Happy said jumping up and down at Natsu
success in the mission. Natsu stopped rubbing his head and was smiling again.
"Yeah you should have came with us." He said excitedly.
"And whose fault was that?" She asked sarcastically moving her cast leg back and forth. Again, Natsu pouted and turned to the side.
"It was an accident and I said I was sorry! How long are you going to hold it against me?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Until my right leg is healed." Lucy responded laughing at his pouting.
On our last mission it was just her Natsu and Happy. The mission was easy enough; stop a dark wizard from destroying a village. And to be honest he wasn't at all the powerful so Natsu wasn't that excited about it. But that was the only high paying job on the request board. And Natsu only agreed to it because Lucy needed rent money. The village in need of help wasn't that far away so Natsu talked Lucy into walking there. It didn't take that long for them to get there defeat the wizard, get their reward and leave. Natsu got one of the dark wizard's bombs as a souvenir.
But Natsu got careless with it and accidently sent it off (he wanted to see what would happen if he set it on fire) it exploded causing Natsu flying right towards a cliff. Lucy ran to save him. She manage to grab hold of his hand before he fell of the cliff. They were smiling at each other when they heard a cracking sound. And like that, the tip of the cliff broke off and they both fell off. Natsu ended up on top of Lucy causing her right leg to break. It hurt horribly and she hissed in pain when she tried to put weight on it. Natsu kept saying sorry and asking her if she was alright. But she wasn't. Happy joined them asking if they were okay. But Natsu didn't respond to Happy, Lucy was more important right now.
Natsu just told Happy that they needed to get back to the guild. Lucy hissed in pain when Natsu slid his arms under her knees and put his arm around her shoulders and picked her up and started to run. He kept saying sorry the entire time. When they reached the guild everyone gathered around them asking what had happened. Wendy healed it but said that it would take four days till her could walk on it. Erza put a cast on Lucy's leg and Gray proved Lucy with ice to lower the swelling. Natsu just sat next to her. His eyes never leaving her. Three days after that the Master sent Erza, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Happy and Carla on a mission. Natsu protested saying that Lucy can't stay at her house alone. Then Levy volunteered to spend the night with Lucy to ease Natsu's worry for her. Pouting Natsu left with them.
Lucy was fine with Levy spending the night at her house. Natsu stayed with her the other two nights refusing to leave. What if she fell or was attacked and no one was there to help her? Was his reason for spending the night. But Lucy kept asking about the reason for all the other nights he snuck into her house and slept in her bed. The night with Levy wasn't so bad, she help with new ideas for her novel. But Lucy secretly did miss Natsu there. But she would deny that she ever thought that.
The next morning her and Levy made their way to the guild and that brought them up to now.
"That reminds me." Wendy said, snapping Lucy out of her flashback. "It's been four days. Lucy your leg should be fully healed now."
"Has it been four days already?" Gray asked shirtless. Lucy doesn't remember him shirtless when he walked in. Was he?
"Yes it has." Erza said. She summoned a sword and lashed Lucy's cast off.
Lucy looked down to make sure that Erza didn't cut off her leg. Seeing that she didn't Lucy gripped the edge of the table and stood up, testing her leg out. After stomping with it a few times and felt no pain she looked up to Natsu.
"I am no longer holding it against you." Lucy stated laughing a little at the end.
Natsu flashed her his one of a kind toothy smile. Which caused her to blush and look away.
"Natsu isn't there something you would like to ask Lucy?" Ezra said elbowing him.
Now it was Natsu's turn to look away. And was he blushing? Couldn't be.
"Asked me what?" I asked looking at Erza.
"The client was so grateful for us for defeating the monster that he gave us his reservation for two for Embers!" Happy said flying next to Natsu who was now definitely blushing.
