A/N: HEY GUYS! Here's my old story back and revised... This is only the first chapter, but it's revised and better, plus it will help to refresh your memory...
Lucy's P.O.V.
"Hey! Stop destroying everything! I actually need this money so I can pay my rent!" I yelled at a pink haired boy, as he sent another one of the men we had been chasing right through a building.
"Calm down, Lucy. I just have to catch this last guy." He smiled at me as Happy flew him towards the last target; he made quick work on the man with a swift Fire Dragon Roar. "There, I got him." He yelled down at me, his chest swelling with pride.
I took a moment to look around myself, and sighed. The damage was extensive as always.
"Now look what you've done! Half the town is destroyed, Natsu, and we'll have to pay for the damage with our reward..." I was annoyed beyond belief at how destructive my partner could be. "I'll never be able to pay for my rent at this rate." I laid a hand across my face, holding back the need to cry.
"Don't worry; we'll just take another job!" He patted my shoulder once Happy put him on the ground. Natsu broke into a wide boyish grin, the one I cannot resist as he folded his arms behind his head. I felt my annoyance melt away, as the expression I loved the most crossed his face; the one that had made me follow this man to Fairy Tail. It was the reason I fell for this idiot in the first place.
"Yeah, let's go home, I'm tired." Natsu's face turned green, as he remembered that we needed to take the train to get back to Magnolia.
"Can we just walk home?" His eyes were pleading, and I really did feel sorry for him. "I'll die if I have to ride that death trap again."
"I am not walking back." My expression twisted at the thought of walking forty miles, it would take a whole day and I was already tired and sore. "The train is faster, and I'm tired, end of discussion."
Five minutes later, we were on the train heading back to the guild. I had Natsu's head in my lap, running my fingers through his hair while looking out the window. Natsu had just fallen asleep when I heard some giggling from the seat in front of me.
"You liiiiiike each other." It was Happy making his usual comment, teasing anyone who was in the slightest of compromising positions.
"Can it cat, or I'll pull out your whiskers." He simply giggled behind his paws, before pulling a fish out of her pack.
'That cat is lucky this dragon boy is on my lap, because if he wasn't, that cat would have one less life.' I stared at him, willing his fish to taste badly as revenge.
Happy simply finished his snack before curling in on himself to take a nap of his own.
'I might as well get some rest as well. We have another hour until we get Magnolia.'
Natsu's P.O.V.
After I knew for sure that Lucy was asleep, I moved my head so that it was resting in the crook of her neck. I was careful not to make sudden movements that might wake her as I took a deep breath.
'She smells like strawberries and vanilla.' I thought to myself, her smell intoxicating my senses.
Everyone thinks that I am too dense to realize how much this girl loves me, but they are only partly correct. I have to admit that at first, I had no idea this girl had fallen in love with me, hell, I didn't even know I had fallen in love with her until I caught her during the battle with Phantom Lord. She jumped down a tower on the slight chance that I would have been there in time to catch her. Thank Mavis I made it in time. She had started crying, that was when I finally realized I loved this women unconditionally, and would do anything to keep a smile on her face.
I knew at that very moment, we were meant for each other, that she would one day become my mate. I could never love anyone else as deeply as I did this blonde hair wierdo.
All this was true, but I still played the dense idiot for the time being. I was biding my time, waiting for the perfect moment. So I would keep up the act until everything felt just right.
TBC…
