DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL OR ANYTHING FAIRY TAIL RELATED!

Hello all, this is my first fanfic, so forgive my old habits of schoolwork writing (I also suck at dialogue, so give me a moment to get used to this setting).

I have wanted to see a NaLu fanfic for some time, but couldn't find one where NaLu wasn't only in the background, so I decided to make this myself.

PS - Italics means thought (Thoughts will be inside of apostrophe's). Bold italics are A/N. Bold will determine setting and such things as this.

Chapter 1
"NaLu's beginning"

~~Outside Lucy's apartment; post-job, Lucy is pissed at Natsu for losing the payment.~~

'That man, I swear the only thing in his mind is those flames he eats all the time,' thought Lucy. "Ughh, I'm going to go take a shower to cool my head."

"Hey Lucy," said Natsu "I came because I wanted to say how sorry I was about the job earlier."

"Look Natsu, I've had a long... wait..." said Lucy, "WHY ARE YOU IN MY APARTMENT? I swear Natsu, I'm going to kill you!" 'I'm going to KILL HIM, if he says-'

Natsu grabbed Lucy's shoulder, spinning her around, maybe a little closer than he'd thought he meant to. "Hey, Luce, I was just here to say I'm sorry, I'll leave because I can see you're pissed."

'Crap! He's close! I thought I had my feelings for him under control! I can handle distances, but I can feel his breath, I think I might do something stupid!' She pushed away from him, so she didn't, but kept his hands on her shoulders. "Natsu, I'm just a little tired now is all, so if you could please go, can we talk this over tomorrow?" said Lucy, worried her feelings had shown through.

"Sure, Luce!" said Natsu, happy his friend was letting him leave of his own accord. 'I accidentally pulled her too close back there. Man, if she hadn't pushed away, I don't know what I would've done...'

~~Guild hall; everyone knows about the fight between the two, but this was usual after a job~~

"Natsu and Lucy are at it again." Said Mirajane, slightly spaced out. 'I wonder if I can make those two get together.' This thought wandered into her head any time the two were in a room together.

"Hey, flame-brain, how much did you break this time?" asked Gray, genuinely curious, as the job had been for Natsu and Lucy only, as had many of their recent jobs (A/N this is something I borrowed from another series. In this one, though, it's team-building. They're working together to build a bigger bond.). 'I'm unconfortable with the two of them alone together so much, but I can't do anything about it if they feel for each other.'

"Only one house, Ice Boy, lay off it." said Natsu. 'I seriously pissed off Lucy this time, don't bring it up!'

"Only one house? Natsu, that house was the size of a Cathedral! We lost our whole payment on repairs!" Lucy said, annoyed at his obliviousness. 'He can't pull me so close in front of everyone, right?'

"Hey Luce, let's talk this over somewhere more private. How about my place?" Natsu whispered in her ear. 'Maybe I won't do something stupid like last time...'

"Ok, but I can't be responsible for any injuries suffered." Lucy said, trying to make a joke out of the situation. 'Oh crap, did that flame-brain figure out my feelings? Is he trying to use them against me?'

Thanks all for reading, I really hope you enjoy my little NaLu thing. I'm doing this for my own entertainment, so I'll keep writing for those of you who actually like it. Haters back off, I sure won't ;)
I hope you all enjoy, leave me a review, tell me how you think it is. I won't be able to fix my terrible grammar, but if the story's good enough, that shouldn't matter. My friend will be reviewing these hopefully, so I may take suggestions from him.

Give me suggestions, as I want this to include GaLe, GrUvia, maybe something a little more taboo like Romeo and Wendy? Tell me the couples you want to see.

Will Lucy accidentally reveal her feelings to Natsu? Or maybe the other way around? You'll find out with time!
