Hey guys! I was inspired to write another Nalu oneshot, based on the events of chapter 452 and the abundance of posts on tumblr lately about Natsu being END.I'm sorry I'm Nalu trash please love me.

Sooooo… yeah! Hope you like it! 3

I was scared when the dark guild we were fighting in burst into flames. I thought I would be burned alive. But you told me I was safe; that it'd never hurt me. And it didn't.

I was terrified when that fire-god slayer got a hold of you; he was beating you up pretty bad. He told me I was next. You got up and told me that you wouldn't let anything happen to me. And you didn't.

I was proud when you won against Sabertooth in the Grand Magic Games. They'd bruised our honour, and you promised us that you'd never let them live it down. And they didn't.

I was ready, that day we fought the mages from Alvarez. Zeref took over your mind and body, but I wasn't worried. You said you would protect me. You said you'd always keep me safe. You said no matter what happened, no matter what came between us; that you would always come back to me. But you didn't.

How could you?

I was surprised when I saw you fighting that Vulcan on our first mission. You had a kind of fire in your eyes I had never seen before. I knew right away, that I wanted you. It was always in the back of my mind.

I was relieved when Happy and I met up with the real you in Edolas. You have no idea how worried I had been; how glad I was to have you by my side once more. I never took you for granted again.

I was furious, that day the Grand Magic Games had you fight against Minerva. I wanted to rip her to shreds. I don't think I've ever come so close to wanting to kill before. But I had to make sure you were alright. I knew I wanted to protect you, from that moment on.

I was excited as we stood in front of Zeref, ready to pound him into the dust. He needed to pay for hurting you. I had no idea how much a forced transformation would hurt; at the time all I could think about was you. I told you I would never hurt you. I promised myself I would always stand your side. I swore that I would always protect you, no matter what happened.

I'm sorry, Lucy. I am so sorry.

I love you.
