A little fic for all the Nali lovers out there

Still don't own anything

.o0O0o.

Natsu stood after being chided yet again by Lucy for destroying a ship, not even a town this time too! He thought about why he put up with her, then remembered that she reminded him of "her". But in the end she wasn't.

It was then that he thought about Lucy, sure she was pretty, he wasn't that dense, he also saw the looks the blond got. In the end though, she wasn't her, the way her platinum blonde hair framed her face, just like the Mona Lisa, the way her laugh tinkled in the air like a thousand fairies singing carols, the way her eyes always sparkled with excitement and adventure, and the way she was like a mother to Happy, and already like a wife to him.

In his mind he compared the two. Lucy was constantly scolding him about his tendency to destroy things, and "her" laugh when he destroyed a cart in the way of his fury. Then he thought about how Lucy would hammer him in the face when she woke up with the dragon's son beside him, and how when "she" would wake up beside him, she would get closer, just to feel his warmth.

As he compared the two, he stopped listing the pros and cons, as he realized that it was no competition between the two, and that, he thought sadly that Lucy was just a substitute for "her", and a poor one at that.

He was still deep in thought as Happy jolted him out of his thoughts, he slapped on his fake Cheshire grin and walked to the guild with his best friend.

Another day another struggle.
