Burning Time
[AU/ROMCOM/DRAMA] Just like a rapidly falling Sakura petal, Natsu descended from the throne of the almighty God of Flame- to lift up the spirits of a seemingly lonely girl who happened to be his lover from when she was still the Celestial Princess. The twist is... this former Celestial Princess was reincarnated into a mortal human and didn't have the memories from her past life. However for Natsu, wether the girl remembers him or not, she's still his girl and will do anything to make her happy. [Friedsoupy Fairy Tail NaLu Fanfic!]

"Then let me tell you this," the armored man took Lucy's shoulders, "I came to cheer you up."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Lucy slapped the stranger's hands away, "please just make this fire disappear. My attendants could die from all their crying," she huffed.
She thought that being repulsive was going to throw off the salmon-haired armored man, however she did not expect to hear his next words.
"Hey!" he retorted, then started fidgeting and blushing, "if you only remembered the stuff we did in the past..."
Seeing him fidgeting and thinking whatever he was thinking while his face burned, Lucy found herself yelling and also blushing, "What stuff?!"
She tried regaining her bored and calm disposition, "look, I don't know you and we certainly didn't meet before."
"That's because you were reincarnated!" this man now looked like a kid insisting that fairytales exists. "I am Natsu the God of Flame, you were the Celestial Princess before you came here! We were married! Well, of course you won't remember. I don't care. We still can make new memories together, right?"
Lucy almost looked like a tomato from hearing the God of Flame's words. "Wha-what are you talking about?" There's no doubt that Lucy got a little creeped out. But if he wasn't cute she could have karate-chopped him as soon as she saw him.
She ran towards the fire barrier, attemping to escape from the creepy salmon-haired armored man who appeared grandiosely from the sky and who can spout fire.
The worried cries of her attendants reached the moon as she crossed over the blazing fire.
"Eh..?" when Lucy looked back, she wasn't burned or anything. Then he saw the man whom she 'escaped' from- Natsu, sighing like his shoulders were going to fall off.
"Young Miss!" Lucy's attendants swarmed around her like bees. The guards, knowing how powerful the opponent was, insisted on attacking the God of Flame now that they knew that the fire barrier doesn't actually burns.
However when the guards touched the flame, their hands burned. Natsu just laughed at them amusingly.
"Aaack!" one guard pulled his hand away from the scorching fire barrier then glared at the armored enemy. "Come on...!" he grumbled quietly.
"You can't defeat me!" Natsu smirked, then noticed Lucy's unpleased reaction. He took the fire barrier down as he gave the guards an awkward smile.
"Okay... Let's calm down, shall we?" his awkward smile turned into an awkward grin, "Umm... I've come in peace?"
The guards looked at him like a dangerous wild animal.
"What? I just wanted to have fun with Lucy~" he pouted, crossing his arms. "Is this how you humans treat Gods? Do you want to be condemned?"
The guards' faces turned dark, as well as the attendants. They couldn't deny that this armored guy who can manipulate fire was a creature above the human race. This man who called himself 'God of Flame' may be really a God who have enough power to send them to hell. Though most of the people in their era believed in Gods, they didn't actually thought that they existed.
Before Lucy could throw a logical and reasonable retort, someone cut her.
"If you're really a God, then why are you meddling with us humans?" Virgo, the main attendant, threw a condescending glare at the proud God of Flame.
Natsu looked at the pink-haired attendant who clung onto Lucy like a leech, "You!" he pointed at her in surprise.
Lucy thought that Natsu looked at Virgo like he knew her.
"Maiden God!" the God of Flame yelled, "could someone tell me what hypocrisy is this?!"
Yep, seems like he knew her.
"Maiden God?" Lucy looked at Virgo and noticed her nervous gaze.
"Are you a God too?" Lucy half-joked. Of course there's no way her main attendant who was sometimes clumsy could be a God. Gosh, what's with all these strange events?
Then Virgo looked back at her with teary eyes.
"Don't tell me you're really a..." Lucy almost choked from shock. Is this the reason why Virgo still looked the same and young for eighteen years while she, on the other hand, grew older by the day? Lucy felt betrayed.
"I'm really sorry for not telling Young Miss Lucy!" Virgo cried, "I just wanted to be by your side serving you like the old days! I am actually the God of Maidens! Uwahuhuhu..."
"Says the one who was actually meddling in human matters," Natsu snorted in the background.
"Seriously?" Lucy let out an uneasy smile, "you people better be joking. Hahahaha..." then she told herself, "God, that drugged breakfast is taking too long to lose effect."
"Drugged breakfast? Again?!" Virgo's eyes became fiery. She turned to the guards' direction and shouted, "all of you! Find out who drugged Young Miss' breakfast this time and bring him out, dead or alive."
Natsu cringe and thought that the Maiden God was as bossy as ever.
"But, that guy..." The guard's pointed at the salmon-haired armored man who was glaring at the main attendant.
"I'll take care of him," Virgo told them. After that she also dismissed the butlers and maids.
Natsu watched them scurrying away. "Those people need to calm down when they see a God," he commented.
"They were just protecting Young Miss Lucy!" Virgo continued to look at him condescendingly.
"Hey! You dare to look at me like that?" Natsu yelled at the Maiden God, "you're just a low-class God."
"I am indeed, a low class God," Virgo calmly replied, "but I am fateful to my master as you are not to your lover."
"You..!" Natsu's hands ignited fire as Virgo provoked him.
The God of Flame attacked Virgo with a couple of fire balls. The Maiden easily dodged the deadly attack and hopped away from Young Miss Lucy to keep her from getting hurt from the heating battle.
"Still lacking the manners, aren't you mighty God of Flame?" Virgo raised her the side of her lips, "fighting a maiden just like this, how rude. If her highness the Celestial Princess had her memories, she would be likely to start loathing you."
"She would never hate me!" Natsu retorted angrily and charged with a fire sword.
"Tsk," Virgo almost got hit. She knew very well that she can't defeat the God of Flame but insisted on provoking him into a fight. Well, she can just escape with her dimensional holes.
While the God of Flame and the God of Maidens started an airborne fight with their heavenly abilities, Lucy just stood there thinking about how things had escalated from her usual boring morning.
"I guess this is more than drugged breakfast," she told herself.
After thinking for a long time and judging by the how these 'Gods' fighted unrealistically with impossible movements, Lucy was convinced that she was not seeing or hearing things.
Everything was going well until me and the God of Flame landed on the pond- she thought. If the guards and my attendants didn't come, will everything wouldn't be as confusing as now?
There might have been a budding romance if that happened.
And then that charming God would take me away from my overprotective father and let me visit a popular library and fish in an outdoor pond.
But then the God just mistook me for a girl who was the 'Celestial Princess'. This and that happened, the God of Flame fell on me instead and left the Celestial Princess.
Lucy blushed.
What about the main attendant who happened to be another God?
Nah, the important thing is the romance!
"Oh no, what am I thinking?" Lucy shook off her thoughts to another dimension.
There's no such thing as a fairy tale-like meeting between a charming God and a lonely human girl, right?
She could make a romance novel out of it though.
