Greetings to my followers! For those who requested for me to make NaLu.. Well, here it is!
Rozette-chan is here!
A typical day of Fairy Tail. Everything was normal—chairs and tables flying. Elfman keeps saying, about being 'MAN' with Evergreen trying to shut him up. Cana keeps on repeating, 'BOYFRIEND' clumsily grabbing a barrel of beer. Gray was now shirtless, clearly not knowing a certain water mage had been drooling over him. Erza eating her strawberry-flavored cake. Levy reading a book with her gale-glasses on, as Jet and Droy kept on staring at the latter with heart in their eyes. Gajeel obviously glaring daggers at Jet and Droy. Happy trying to woo Charle, while Charle just trying to ignore him. Wendy keep on scolding Charle for being mean. Mirajane cleaning the glasses, smiling at her guildmates. Everything was definitely usual. But a pink-haired, dragon slayer was not the one who started nor participated in the usual brawl.
No—He was sitting on the corner of the bar absently watching his fire whiskey like it was spoiled or something. He was so deep in thought that he didn't saw the curious gazes that studied him intently.
It's unusual for him to act like this so the guild members kept on staring him—maybe waiting for him to act like he's usual self.
"Hey, What was flame-brain doing?" Gray asked raising his brow.
"tch..don't asked me." Gajeel replied grunting, eating his remaining metal scraps.
Gray was ready to play a trick on Natsu by freezing his butt but was stopped when the guild doors burst open revealing a blonde celestial mage, Lucy smiling broadly at everyone.
Lucy, in sensing something unusual, stopped in her tracks when she saw a glimpse of pink and quickly recognized Natsu. But when she saw what state he was in, she raised her brow waiting for her nakamas to explain only receiving several shakes in their head indicating it as a 'no'. She realized that it was not normal for Natsu to be like this.
He should be obviously picking a fight with Gray and the others. But today was really different because of Natsu of course. Lucy frowned at him missing his once boisterous attitude and tapped her foot hoping Natsu would hear her.
When no response came from a certain pink-haired slayer—she groaned and snapped her fingers at the now startled mage.
"Hey, Natsu, are you okay? You've been spacing out, earlier." Lucy said in a worried tone yet sounding a little impatient.
"U-uhm..Y-yeah..just t-thinking." he stuttered, blushing madly as Lucy raised her brow.
Gray, however, thought it was the perfect time to tease and insult Natsu. But he wasn't able to finish it as a hard cold-metal 'clank' in its head that made him unconscious.
"Do you have a fever or something?" Lucy asked getting closer to Natsu, pressing and touching her palm with his forehead—not before actually touching him, Lucy yelped at the abnormal heat and groaned at her stupidity.
Of course, she totally forgot. Natsu has an abnormal heat 'the not-notmal temperature' that Lucy thought he could become a possible human heater and Gray can be a human cooler.
Lucy almost chuckled at the thought but shook the thoughts reminding herself that it would somehow gives creeps to her friends with her chuckling with no apparent reason.
"Focus, Lucy."
"W-what? O-of course n-not." Natsu reasoned earning worried glances to his guild mates.
"Keep it down, Natsu. You are being stupid again. Just act normal." he scolded, himself.
"Uhmm...Yosh! Sorry! I'm all fired up." he said, jumping towards the table, pumping his fist, which the others, smiled.
Now, everything is now really normal. And Natsu Dragneel was the one who initiated it. Gray was now conscious and fighting Natsu. A few rants from here to there. A certain red-haired equip mage was now eating her another plate of her favorite cake, but was now emitting a dark aura when a chair has been flown towards her cake.
And certain-celestial mage hiding under the table with Wendy, trying to cover themselves for any impending harm. The Fairy Tail is now rowdy again.
Until the hours, past by...
They are now calmed—eating, drinking, reading and no chaos. Natsu Dragneel was at the bar eating his fire chicken sitting beside Lucy who was reading a book that Levy lent her.
Natsu was now finished and sighed contentedly feeling the food satisfying his stomach. He stole a glanced at Lucy which the barmaid Mirajane didn't missed as she gave Natsu a wink of luck twinkling her eyes. Natsu blushed looking at his guildmates, making sure they are busy with their own business and looked at Lucy again still blushing.
"Luce."
"Hmmm?" Lucy hummed in response not looking at Natsu, maybe reading the good part of the book already.
"Luce, look at me first." he said, pouting.
"Okay..Okay.." She finally said putting her book aside waiting for Natsu to say something.
"I have something important to tell you." he said crossing his fingers at his back.
"What is it?" She asked sliding her eye glasses at the crown of her head.
Natsu stared at her for a moment and can't deny that she looked good with glasses perched at her head.
"Well she always looks good."
"M-meet m-me at the South S-sola tree, tonight." he stuttered staring at her book for no reason as Lucy blinked and sighed tiredly.
"Okay." she replied her voice monotone but Natsu being nervous at the matter didn't notice.
"Yeah..I-I be g-going n-now." he stammered, scratching the nape of his neck awkwardly laughing as he swiftly ran to the guild's door.
"Take care!" she said waving at him a little and finally gave a sigh.
"So he can't get over it, huh?" she said to herself sadly.
"Ara~ ara~ the moment is finally here~ " Mirajane appeared in a sing-sang voice cutting of Lucy's thoughts.
"huh?"
"Well-" Mirajane wasn't able to finish her sentence because she suddenly fainted probably thinking about blondes and pink-babies.
"What the heck? Mira-san?" Lucy panicked, dragging Mirajane at the infirmary.
She has still about an hour to prepare and decided to go home already. She was now bidding her goodbye's and was now outside the guild.
She walked towards the direction of her apartment and in about a minute, she was already in front of her rented-apartment and smiled appreciating her home.
She went inside clearly placing her keys at her dresser as she striped her hair from the bands, finger-combing her shiny blonde hair.
She was now done taking a bath. Now, she just need to get dressed.
She rummaged through her closet and began thinking. Well the last time Natsu asked her at the parked, she was dressed fancy and nicely but he only requested Virgo to dig for embarrassing photos underneath the tree which is stupid of her. She should have expected it—with typical Natsu he sure is dense.
She sighed and finally choose her signature outfit—the blue one with a matching blue-plaided skirt.
There's no reason she should dress nicely again when Natsu would just probably request for Virgo again since the last time Natsu asked her to do it, she declined so possibly, Natsu would asked her tonight to dig again since Natsu has no bounds even with a stupid petty albums full of embarrassing pictures.
She was now ready and she made her way outside.
For a few minutes she already arrived at the Sola tree and saw Natsu pacing back and forth watching him in amusement.
Natsu, however, was suddenly alarmed by Lucy's sweet scent and stopped. He watched her for a minute then grinned. His toothy-grin that makes Lucy melt in the inside.
"Hiya, Luce!" he greeted.
"Hi, Natsu." she greeted back.
"Come, lets sit there." He said, dragging her to a secluded area.
"Okay?" she said unsurely.
They sat at the shaded area at the Sola tree and Natsu cleared his throat.
"Lucy, I have some-" Natsu was being stopped by Lucy and raised a brow in confusion. Lucy, however, was smiling tiredly.
"Natsu, I already know."
"What?! She already knows my feeling?" he thought, panicking how the heck could she have known.
"What!?" he was shocked. He didn't tell anybody about his feelings but what the hell?
He was confused more when Lucy stood up pulling a key as she summoned it. It was Virgo's key. And it was then that all clicked into it's place.
"Natsu, you can't really get over it,huh? she smirked.
"Eh?!"
"About the embarrassing pictures of Fairy Tail, duh?" She said quoting the word 'Embarrassing'.
"Hime, what can I do for you? Is it time for punishment?" Virgo butted in.
"Of cou-" Lucy wasn't able to finish it, when Natsu holds her preventing her to finish it.
"You can go now, Virgo." Natsu said earning a confused gazed by Lucy.
"Of course, Natsu-san. As long as you're here. Hime-sama would be fine." Virgo said, bowing down, then disappeared.
"Eh?!" Lucy was now really confused.
"Look Lucy, I understand if you're confused at this but I'm very sorry for acting stupid and dense the last time I asked you here. But now, I asked you here not to sum..mo? forget it, call Virgo to dig for those pictures. I'm here b..because I-I want to t..tell y..you I-I l..like y..you." he stammered as she stared at the ground feeling bashful. Now he felt like Natsu Dragion, his counterpart.
"Is this a prank of yours, Natsu?" She asked waiting for him to answer only earning a look of disbelief.
"WHAA-" He was stopped, when a pair of warm lips crashed into him. He was shocked at first but then kissed back.
Lucy was satisfied by his actions and that really proves her suspicion already..
.
.
He really likes her.
wait! there's more! Actually,I'm planning to make another NaLu. I already had planned its plot..

I actually didn't have a plan to edit this but there are so many mistakes, at least I somehow lessen it? Seriously, there were many commas and I was practically groaning in annoyance with it. Especially with my other stories specifically one-shots. So damn messy and many stupid mistakes.
