Constellations

(Lucy)

Lucy sat at the front of her guild, tracing the stain marks on the counter in front of her with a finger. "I need to find Natsu and go on a mission or something. My rent is coming up fast."

Mira, sitting behind the counter, smiled. "Ah, I'm sure Natsu will find a way to pay it." She smiled, slightly teasingly. "After all, you two essentially share the place."

Lucy looked at Mirajane. "I don't ask him to sneak into my house.." However, before she could finish her statement, Natsu barged in.

"Hey! Lucy!" At which point he grabbed her arm and started dragging her outside. "You won't believe what I found!"

"What? Hey, Natsu!" She didn't even ttempt to free herself. "Where are we going?"

"Its a surprise!" The dragon slayer released his grip. "Come with me."

"Its getting kind of late..." She muttered, looking at the darkening sky.

"That's why I came to get you now!"

As the two partners walked along the roads, Happy floated along after, quietly rolling his tongue at something. Lucy didn't bother to listen properly.

It was dark by the time Natsu dragged her in front of a large tree. The tree that glowed with the colors of the rainbow every year. The tree that was said to mark where some embarrassing pictures were buried. She couldn't help but smile a little. So many memories. "I've been here before, you know." She mentioned.

Natsu grinned his huge, toothy smile. "I know. That's why I chose it. And the sky is more visible."

"So, what is it that we're doing?" Lucy asked impatiently. "You don't just lead a woman to some tree late at night. Its suspicious!"

"Oh, right. Happy, take out the thing." As Happy dug through his backpack, Natsu turned his attention back to his partner. "You're a celestial spirit mage, right? So all of your spirits are like, stars."

"Yes...?" Lucy urged, already confused. Where was this leading?

"Me and Happy found this on a mission." Happy extravagantly pulled out a huge roll of paper.

"Ta-da!" The blue cat exclaimed. Lucy took it and flattened it on the grass. Then she gasped.

"Its a star sheet!" She moved her fingers along the shape of each constellation displayed. The big dipper, the little dipper, then Leo and Aries...half of the star's names were the names of her own spirits.

"I thought we could find your spirits in the stars together." Natsu said, putting his thumbs in the waistband of his pants and looking down.

"He llliiiiiikes her." Happy said, with a signature roll of the tongue.

Ignoring the cat, she looked up at her friend. "That would be amazing." She answered him. He plopped down beside her and they both stared at the chart, trying to decide which constellation to look for first.

(Natsu)

Natsu thought for a bit, trying to think of his favorite spirit. "Let's find Virgo." He said, poking the paper.

"Okay." She instantly started staring up at the sky. "Right there." Natsu squinted at the stars she'd pointed out. He looked down at the star chart. Then back up. He wasn't seeing it.

"Natsu? Which should we find next? According to the chart the only other spirits of mine well see tonight are Leo, Gemini," She began. Natsu looked at her, the moonlight turning her blonde hair silver. I want to kiss her. was his first thought. And so, without thinking any further of it, he leaned in, and pressed his lips against hers, interrupting her statement.

"N-Natsu?" She stammered, backing away as best she could on all fours. Her face was tinted pink. At which point Natsu thought, Wait, I just kissed her. It was unfortunate that his Natsu brain hadn't bothered to think ahead this far, because suddenly he felt his face go hot (hotter than the usual fire dragon hot).

He flashed her a toothy, Natsu grin. "Sorry Luce, I got a bit carried away."

She blinked at him, and then smiled back. "You really are a flame-brain, you know that Natsu?" And then her smile turned into a laugh. A cute, full laugh. Not breathy, but almost overwhelmingly giggly. A Lucy laugh. "But, despite that," she continued, as her laughter died down. "I think I want to kiss you too."

He looked at her in surprise as she put her hands into his pink hair and, willingly, put her lips against his and sunk into his arms.

She took her time, Natsu noticed. And when they broke apart, he looked into her eyes and said:

"I'm glad I took you here. You're half of the stars in the constellation I like to call Natsu."
