Chapter 2

Previously…

"Well, I've got a quest to get ready for! I'm going home now, I'll see you later!" I said walking out of the guild smiling and waving and my two friends, Mira still giggling and Levy quickly pulling out a book to hide her face.

Lucy summoned Plue, who appeared with a "pun puuuuun-" and they walked to Lucy's house together.

I wonder what this quest will end up like? I'm still not sure if I should confess to Natsu, I'm scared he doesn't feel the same way about me…

- Lucy's P.O.V. –

As soon as I got home I packed my things into a small shoulder bag.

"Well I think that's all I'll need for the quest," I sighed and looked over at Plue, enjoying a lollipop, "Natsu isn't not here so I might as well have a shower before we leave for Gustavia." I said, thinking aloud.

The shower felt great! The warm water and the steam was so relaxing, I could shower forever. I thought I heard a window open, but I ignored it and continued shampooing my hair. Turning off the taps, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me. I opened the bathroom door and saw someone sitting on my bed.

"Hey Lucy!" Natsu said grinning and waving at me.

"Oh yeah hi Nats- WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE NATSU?" I shouted as soon as I realised he was there.

He titled his head down, raised an eyebrow and said "We did set this as the meeting place and I'm all ready to go so hurry up!"

I ignored the look on his face. "Where's Happy?" I asked, looking around the room for the blue winged cat.

- Normal P.O.V. –

"He decided that he would rather go on a mission with Wendy and Charle, he seems to be helpin' them a lot lately, huh?" Natsu replied.

"Ah ok then. Well I'm going to get changed so you can go raid the fridge if you want." I said pointing to the room behind me.

His face lit up and he sprinted towards the kitchen, eager to get his hands on some food. Lucy picked out her blue and white top to go with her long boots, blue skirt and belt. She got dressed quickly and clipped her celestial keys and whip onto the brown belt, tying her hair up with a blue ribbon on the side of her head.

Heading to the kitchen, Lucy could hear Natsu wolfing down pretty much any food that he could find. The kitchen looked like a bomb had landed in it, but Lucy had to giggle when Natsu looked up at her with food all over his face and cheeks full.

"You're such a messy eater!" Lucy said smiling at him and grabbing a serviette. She bent over and started to wipe the meal off of his face, Natsu's cheeks went red but he kept looking at her gorgeous smile.

- Natsu's P.O.V –

I could feel my face heating up, but I couldn't help but look at Lucy smiling at me. She had such a great smile, it made a fizzy felling in my heart, I wasn't sure what it was but I liked it.

Once my face was clean I stood up. "Should we get going now? We don't wanna be walking all night to Gustavia!" I announced, grinning at Lucy.

"Yeah, sure Natsu!" she said and went out of the kitchen to grab her bag; I followed her out and hauled my gear onto my back. We walked out of her apartment and Lucy locked the door. Outside the sun was blazing and the warmth of midday was nice, it seemed to make Lucy's hair and smile glow.

Because the train didn't run anywhere near Gustavia, we had to walk all the way to the town. I wasn't bothered by it at all; man I hate it when we gotta take the train!

"I can't believe we're going to walk all the way to Gustavia..." Lucy sighed and I looked at the sad expression on her face, it didn't really suit her.

"Well I don't mind walking with you, Luce!" I grinned and slung my arm around her shoulders and I noticed her cheeks turning red. It just made me smile more and Lucy smiled back at me, blushing a little less now. For the next few hours we walked close together, talking, joking and laughing about all the times that we shared with the members of Fairy Tail.

"Remember whenever Gray came back from a mission?" Lucy asked me smiling.

"Yeah Juvia would flood the whole damn guild! It was hilarious watchin' the ice cube tryin' to get her to stop!" I said laughing, remembering the waterfalls that came out of the water wizard's eyes. My sides started to ache from all of the laughing and i guessed Lucy was the same.

When everything fell quiet once again, i felt Lucy's hand snake around my arm and she rested her head on my shoulder. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever, both our cheeks were red. I wouldn't have this mission any other way than to spend it with Lucy.

The sun was starting to set and we were still walking through the dense forest, before I knew it darkness started to consume the landscape. I stole a glance at Lucy, who still had her head rested on my shoulder and I noticed her looking cold; I could've sworn I saw here shaking a bit.

"Hey, ummm... Natsu?" Lucy said looking up at me with her huge brown eyes.

"What's up, Lucy? Are you getting tired?" I asked, meeting her gaze with my black eyes.

"Yeah, if it's alright with you, can we camp out for the night?" She asked me, shivering from the chill of the night air and clinging to my arm for warmth.

Hehe can't wait to see where this one goes! OOOHHH CLIFF-HANGER! MWAHAHAHAA
