I've seen stories with genderbenders for fairy tail and I just thought, What if natsu meets Lucy's genderbend and vise versa. so enjoy.
I don't own fairy tail.
Natsu was walking to Lucy's place. He wanted to ask her if she wanted to go on a job. If she said Yes, his real plan would go. His plan to ask her out,many people thought he was oblivious and childish, Well maybe childish but not oblivious. He was actually smarter than people think.
He held the request form in his hand and smiled. It was a request from a library it might be boring for him but if she liked books so much he would deal with it. He was even going to let her keep all the money cause of her rent. He realized he was walking really slow. He started to run, he wanted to see her even more now.
He reached her window, he thought about jumping but that might effect her decision. So he walked around to her front door. "Lucy!" He said as he knocked on the door.
Lucy sighed as she heard Natsu yell her name. She was surprised to hear him knock not really surprised to hear his voice. She loves her partner to death both ways in fact, love, crush and best friends. She thought he was to oblivious to understand her crush. So she never said anything.
She went to the door and opened it to a smiling Natsu. "Hey Luce, how ya doing?" Natsu asked. Lucy smiled, "I'm fine, Natsu, Why?" Natsu blushed when he saw her. "I... uh...found a job for us." He silently cursed himself for the 'uh' and he played with his muffler. "Oh great! What's the job?" Lucy asked. Natsu hesitated once again "Library job. I thought you might like it,bookworm." He said trying to sound as normal as possible. Lucy made a face, "what happened to weirdo?" She asked. "I dunno. I guess I realized your not as weird as I thought." Natsu stated. Lucy smiled "Really? That's sweet Natsu. Thank you." "Well...I love you." "What?" NOTHING! nothing. I said can't wait for the job!" Lucy smiled once more "Me either Natsu." Happy finally flew in and when he did he said " You liiiiiiikkkkkkeeee her, Natsu!" And she smiled, but Natsu said "SHUT UP, HAPPY! go to your girlfriend, Carla." Natsu pouted. Lucy just laughed and grabbed Natsu's arm "Let's go!" "Aye sir!" "Alright Luce!"
They walked(and flew) to the train station. "But can we just walk? I mean you know my motion sickness is awful." Natsu said while trying to persuade Lucy. "How can I forget? My favorite shirt was ruined." She said. "But it'll be a 4 hour walk and I'm not wearing my boots. So deal with it." Natsu pouted again "At least let me lay my head on your lap. That always soothes my stomach." He said. Lucy nodded.
On the train Natsu was laying in Lucy's lap, all smiles. Lucy noticed, "What's with the silly grin?" She asked. He just smiled again "Oh, your smell, It's so beautiful. Just like the person it belongs to." She blushed,but still smiled. "Aw, Natsu that's sweet. By the way,is that the reason Why you don't get sick when your with me?" Now it was Natsu's turn to blush, "Maybe,Why?" "Cause It's cute, that's Why. " he blushed even harder. Lucy noticed this also, " Natsu are you OK? You don't look to Well." She put her hand to is head "You feel hot,even for a fire dragon slayer. Are you feeling alright? " she asked. "Luce, I feel fine,It's probably the train ride. Ask me again when I'm not on a train." Natsu stated,even if he did feel bad, he wouldn't tell her. He didn't want his plan ruined. She hesitated but said OK. Happy flew to them and said "Natsu, you look really stupid when you blush." And started to laugh. "Oh Yeah? Say good bye to dinner. Imma take Lucy out." And Lucy smiled big. "Ah! Lucy looks really scary!" "I'll show you scary, Cat." Natsu smiled at Lucy's reaction. Even with her murderous glare she was cute to him.
It was about two hours before the train stopped. And for once Natsu was upset it did. He got off Lucy's lap and waited for her outside the train. When she came out, she looked very tired almost like she just woke up,which she did. "Yo Luce, you look tired." He said, Lucy gave him a duh look and said "I am." Natsu walked in front of her and asked "Do you want more sleep?" She nodded slightly. "OK" Natsu said and he put one arm on Lucy's back and the other under her legs and picked her up. She yelped,"Natsu! What the hell!?" "You helped me on the train, now I'll help you when your tired,I mean we a two hour walk still. The tran can only take us so far." He said plainly. Lucy settled and leaned her head against Natsu's chest, not even five minutes and Lucy was asleep. And Natsu started to walk.
It was an hour later when Natsu looked down and saw Lucy smiling in her sleep, he thought it was the cutest thing ever. Happy was flying closely and to disrupt the silence he quietly said, "So Natsu, when are you planning on telling Lucy?" "When your not around." Natsu said harshly, Happy was talking too loud and Natsu didn't want his plan ruined because of his flying exceed. The rest of the way they walked in silence.
