I still believe

Lucy opened her eyes and was surprised at what she saw first thing as she wakes up. It was Natsu's face, sleeping just in front her face. That's when she realized that she was in her bed, Natsu was beside her and…he was injured?

Lucy stood up and was surprised everyone slept in her house. Gray was sitting on the sofa, injured. Erza was beside him, eating cake while Juvia was on the other end, wanting to exchange places with Erza but to frightened too.

Happy and Plue was comfy enough on Lucy's desk with Lisanna, asleep too.

"You're awake" Gray said "Morning"

"What happened to you?" Lucy asked.

"Ask him" Gray snorted. Natsu began to wake up, he yawned and stood, he gave Lucy a grin.

"Morning" he said with another yawn.

"What happened to both of you?" Lucy kept looking from Gray to Natsu.

"Let's get this cleared with a flashback" Erza stated.

Flashback

Lucy fell asleep on the couch. Her head suddenly falls on Grays shoulders.

"Hey" Gray said, Lucy didn't replied. He lowered his head to hers to check what's up.

Natsu saw Gray and thought Gray was going to kiss Lucy. Suddenly, he was in blazes.

"Gray! What are you doing?" Natsu threw a punch at Gray.

"What the heck? You're going to pay for that!" Gray punches back. As expected the fight goes on.

"Go Gray! You can do it!" Juvia cheered. Lucy still asleep had herself lay on Juvia's lap. Juvia was furious.

"You! My Rival in love…will pay" She said the words in an evil tone, but before she can make a move, Loke appeared out of nowhere with a death glare for Juvia.

"Hurt her and you'll get it" He warned. Dangerous electricity was sparking on Juvia and Loke's eyes.

When Erza finished her cake, she let out a sigh. She pulled Lucy and placed her on the bed.

"You three keep eye that Juvia doesn't do anything" Erza ordered. Plue, Happy and Lisanna obeyed with a salute.

"Juvia, make sure nothing in the house is wrecked" Erza gave her a cold shoulder that Juvia had no choice but to obey.

"Loke, you can go back"

"But Erza-" he complained, but was cut with Erza's cold look.

"Yes ma'm" He bowed and vanished.

Now, Erza pulled Gray and Natsu outside the apartment. Some people near the area were awake and were complaining.

"You boys are causing so much noise!"

"People are sleeping"

"Hush it down"

Natsu and Gray weren't paying any attention to the people; they were caught in Erza's wrath.

"You guys, made a loud ruckus, causing problems to those around…and you didn't even let me finish my tea with a peaceful atmosphere" She clenched her fists "Time for your punishment"

Natsu and Gray were asking for forgiveness, but too late. They were getting what they deserve, even the people agree.

"That's right! You show them Miss Erza"

"They deserve it"

"Good job Miss Erza"

End of flashback

"And that's how it all happened" Erza finished. Lucy had no comment at all, what is she suppose to say at times like this?

"Sigh, well did-" Lucy was cut off as Mira came inside.

"I'm here for Lisanna" she smiled.

"I'm here too" Elfman said, he appeared behind Mira.

"Oh, well she's asleep" Lucy pointed at the desk.

"Ok, little sister, we have to go" Elfman carried her bridal style, steadily so she won't wake up.

"Need help?" Natsu asked. Lucy felt her lip twitch.

"I'm a man, I can do this by myself" Elfman said and took his leave with Mira waving goodbye at everyone.

The moment was awkwardly silent…then…

"Well, let's go to the guild!" Natsu said, stretching but felt pain, making him teary eyed.

"Stupid" Gray mumbled.

"Let me help you" Erza said as she helped Gray back to the guild.

"No! Let Juvia help Gray" Juvia whined.

"Bring Happy and Plue, be careful not to wake them up" Erza instructed, and then she and Gray were gone.

"Why does Juvia have to carry these two creatures?" She cried out as she carried Happy and Plue carefully to the guild. All that's left was Natsu and Lucy.

At first they were silent, but Lucy decided to break the awkwardness.

"Can you walk?" Lucy asked.

"Of course I-" Natsu tried to stand, but his ankle seemed sprained "…can't"

Lucy began giggling.

"Come on" Lucy gave out a helping hand to Natsu. Lucy tried to balance them both as they went to the guild.

"You know, you're a real pain in the neck, Dragon Slayer" Lucy said on their way. Natsu grinned.

"Well, I'm your Dragon Slayer" he said out loud. Lucy was blushing.

"So…take care of me" Natsu got his face closer on Lucy's.

'A…a…kiss?' The world was in slow motion. Lucy's mind was going crazy 'though we've been kind of like 'together' but not literally, we haven't kissed…is he…is he?'

Lucy closed her eyes, wondering how things would go, and then she felt the weirdest thing. Something was on her nose.

When she opened her eyes, Natsu rubbed his nose on hers. Lucy was really red, and its either embarrassment or anger.

"Why the heck do that?" She screamed. Guess she can't expect something so romantic such a kiss from Natsu.

"It makes you blush!" Natsu replied "Besides…"

"What?"

"You were expecting a kiss, right?"

Lucy bowed her head, her face hot from embarrassment and maybe some anger. She didn't reply, but Natsu knew well her silence meant a yes.

"Well…" He whispered in her ear "You'll just have to wait" his face had a bit shade of red on them, though Lucy can practically see his expression from her hair.

Lucy raised her head, smiled and met his eyes. He smiled back, the red shades still present. Lucy began saying things in her thoughts…Things, she wanted him to know, but can't get her voice to pronounce them.

'I know…sometimes or maybe most of the times I'm jealous…but…still…I Still believe…I still believe in us, Natsu'
