Hey,So I had another idea for a Fanfic, it's kinda short but I hope you like it! Its set after Volume 11 so Mal and Natara are together and it's all told from Natara's POV. Enjoy!

It's December and it's freezing as I make my way down the precinct steps into the cold night. Since my car decided to break down this morning and I have no money for a cab, I continue to walk home while pulling my scarf tighter around my neck to fight the cold. As I walk; I hear the echo of my footsteps as they hit the concrete and my breath momentarily dances around in the cold air as it leaves my mouth with every breath I take. As I continue to walk down the quiet, empty street; my heart nearly jumps from my chest as I hear distant footsteps approaching behind me.

I refrain from turning around and pick up my pace. But the footsteps also speed up, causing my heart to beat a thousand miles per hour as I feel a presence behind me; I almost jump out of my skin as I feel a hand touch my shoulder. I uncontrollably let out a startled scream as I turn and grab the stranger stood behind me, who also lets out a slight scream of surprise.

Mal:" Jeez Nat! On edge much?!"

I instantly let out a deep sigh of relief, when I see Mal stood in front of me.

Natara:" Oh Mal, it's you."

Mal shoots me a deep look of concern, when he sees how shaken up I am.

Mal:" Are you feeling okay?"

I give him a reassuring nod and smile. He seems somewhat unconvinced but doesn't push the issue any further as he changes the subject.

Mal:" I meant to ask you earlier but you left before I had a chance, I was wondering if you wanted a ride home."

Natara:" It's okay I'm fine really."

Mal wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me close, causing me to smile.

Mal:" Now what kind of guy would I be, if I let my girlfriend walk home all alone in the middle of the night?"

I can't help but laugh, Mal has always been a gentleman but ever since we've been together; he gotten even sweeter, which to be honest I didn't think was possible.

Natara:" Well if you're that concerned for my safety; maybe I should just stay the night so you can make sure nothing happens to me."

Mal shows me that signature smile that melts my heart every-time, then softly kisses my forehead.

Mal:" You'll hear no objections from me! And being the amazing guy I am, I'll also pay for dinner tonight too!"

Natara:" Well aren't you sweet."

Mal:" I try."

Mal gently takes my hand as he leads me back to the precinct car park to his car but as we walk back; I still can't shake the feeling that I'm being watched.

Again I'm sorry it's so short, but what do you guys think so far? Leave a review and let me know I'd really appreciate it! Chapter two coming up soon! :) Jade xx
