Chapter 2 - Confession
The next felt promising for our young mages. Lucy got out of her bed still with a lot of confidence from last night. "I have a good feeling about today" She said with a big smile on her cheeks as she started dressing. "I wonder if Natsu is still asleep" She whispered quietly in the hallway walking towards his room, when suddenly she heard another female voice coming out of the room. " It's probably Lissana" Lucy thought while starting to rethink about what she said earlier.
When she stepped into a room she saw a young reporter interviewing Natsu. "Well that's a first, since when Natsu started to care about what others were thinking. Well it's a first time for everything eh?" She started talking in her mind again with blood starting to rush to her cheeks.
The reporter quickly left the room leaving Natsu and Lucy alone.
"Hey Luce, how are feeling?" Natsu asked when giving her one of his childish grins.
"Better" She immediately answered. "No pain just a bit sore on few places, and how bout you Mighty Dragon Slayer?" She giggled with her cheeks turning pink-ish.
"Now's the time to ask" They both shouted in their heads.
"Hey.. .Luce" "Uhm… Natsu" They interrupted one another with both of their faces turning red.
"Uhm y-you go first Lu-ce" Natsu stuttered while making a huge grin on his face.
"I wonder what he wants to tell me, I can see him blushing. No – That can't be it. Is he really going to confess or I'm just making this up in my mind?" Blonde started talking again to herself in her mind with her face turning more red-ish each second. "No, n-no, you go first Natsu" Lucy answered him.
" Uhmmm… how do I put his Luce… C-can I ask you a favor?" The fire mage started burning up with those words coming out of his mouth.
Lucy saw that he was getting nervous. " Oh my god. Is he really going to confess?" Again she drifted off to her mind. "Of course Natsu, you saved my life countless times. You can ask me anything" The blonde replied with a smile on her face.
"C-can y-you… can you n-not g-g-go out wi-with oth… Can you not go out with other boys. P-please" Natsu almost fainted while saying those words. Both of their faces turned completely red.
"Well of course… He's Natsu after all. I didn't really expect a fairy tale confession. In fact I would have thought I was dreaming if this went any other way" Lucy started to drift off again.
They both started to stare at each others eyes. After 5 seconds of silence it got awkward and Natsu started talking again.
"Umh… f-forget what I j-just sa-" Natsus's words were cut off by Lucy's
"Sure thing Natsu. Anything for you. But why'd you ask, would you want to go out with me instead?" Lucy started to tease Natsu.
"W-would y-you?" Natsu started stuttering again with his face still red.
"Of course, Weirdo" Lucy grinned as they both started laughing.
Natsu put his palm on her cheek as he leaned towards for a kiss.
"I can't believe this is happening" They both thought when closing her eyes.
They both leaned towards each other and then their lips met. Lucy was surprised that Natsu's lips felt so soft even after all those fights plus eating fire and all. They felt so warm, she shivered through out her body and thought " it feels like it was meant to be". Natsu also was surprised, Lucy's lips so soft he couldn't pull away. They tasted like vanilla with cherries. Their tongues met each other, they started wrapping around each other. They continued kissing for 2 minutes until both of them ran out of air. As their lips pulled away moved his mouth down her neck as softly bit her.
"Owww… what was that for?" Lucy whined with her cheeks still red as a tomato.
"Nothing" Natsu answered with a grin. "Just marking you, so others would know your taken"
"You know Natsu, not everybody is a dragon. They'll probably think a bat bit me or something" Lucy said when something hit her. " Wait a second… I remember Levy-chan having one of those marks on her neck. Does that mean?"
"Yeah" Natsu answered smiling. "Gajeel found her mate".
"Uhm.. Natsu…" The blonde asked tilting her head. "Is this so called 'claiming a mate'?" Lucy asked when her blush came back.
"Uhm… Not exactly.. Claiming a mate is something BIGGER" Natsu answered while thinking where did she head that.
Lucy started to get nervous when she understood what the dragon slayer had meant.
"Don't worry Lucy, I'd never hurt you. You don't have to be nervous. I won't push you to do IT" Natsu said with one of his signature smiles. " We have all the time in the world" He said.
'Time'. That word echoed in Lucy's head once again. She remembered how her future self wanted to confess to Natsu but she was too late. "She would have been so happy" Lucy thought as she layed on her new boyfriend's chest and hugged him.
Smelling her sadness Natsu took her in. He softly took her chin and raised her head to face him. When seeing her sad eyes he kissed her once more.
"Don't worry Luce. Everything will be alright" He smiled
"Hey flame-brain have you seed Lu-" Gray ended his sentence after seeing them kiss.
"It's what it looks like" Lucy shouted brushing uncontrollably.
"It's not?" Natsu, Gray and Erza were confused.
"Why does something like this always happen to meee!" Lucy screamed while covering her face in a pillow next to Natsu.
"Don't worry Lucy" Erza said. "We won't tell anyone, right Gray?" She glared at Gray with anger in her eyes.
"O-ofcourse w-w-we won't" Gray agreed while shivering from fear.
"Ha Ice Princess peed her pants?" Natsu teased Gray.
"Hey! I should be the one teasing you flame stick" Gray answered.
"What about you friendship?" Erza looked at Natsu and Gray.
" Ah. Y-yes. O-of course. Friendship, we're just having f-fun" They both stuttered
"Aren't they just cute" Lucy giggled. " Especially Natsu" She smiled while looking at him. When she turned to Erza and asked "Uhm.. Erza. How did you know I would be here?".
"We went to your room and we couldn't find you. Everything seemed normal except a book on your bed called "Dragon's behavior" we figured you'd be at Natsu's and from the looks of your future self's diary you had a lot on your mind" Erza explained.
"YOU READ MY DIARY?!" Lucy shouted.
"Well technically it's not yours so I didn't think you'd mind, don't worry I didn't let Gray see it." Erza said with a bit of sadness in her words.
"What was in there to make you cry Erza?" Gray asked curiously.
"Grief and pain" Both Lucy and Erza said at the same time.
"Yosh! Let's have some fun! Let's go the guild I'm starving!." Natsu shouted with joy.
This one was a bit shorter I know. I feel like my first chapter was a bit too streched out. Tell me what you think, even if i already have the story created I can add a bit of details and jokes it depends if you want them.
