Okay! Request from MasterGildarts! So, here is another NaLu oneshot! I'm sorry for the long wait, with the holidays over, I've got a whole heap of assignments to work on. Plus in one of the other fandoms I'm in, one of my favourite characters and ships died so yeah… Not to mention Infinity War…. Also I kinda have a little too much drama happening around me so… I'm really sorry.

This is just gonna be short and sweet so enjoy!

¡!¡I don't own Fairy Tail¡!¡

"Well, aren't you looking good today?" The man said smiling. "Don't go fallin' in the river before your date!"

Lucy blushed at the thought. "D-date?" She looked down at the water to see her reflection and smiled. I wonder if he really is going to confess to me. She thought to herself, before standing up straight. Well, at least I look cute. Then someone went off in her mind. "I mean, this is all wrong! All wrong! All wrong!" She covered her mouth once she realised she was just randomly screaming with no one around. She sighed and looked down at the ground. Heat began to rise to her cheeks as she flailed her arms around. "This is not gonna work! We're co-workers! I'll be together with Natsu for…" Scenes of his confession began playing around in her mind.

"We'll be together forever, Lucy."

"Together… Forever?" She murmured, before blushing again.

The sun had already gone down as Lucy was nearing the meeting spot Natsu told her to go to. Keep it together, stay calm Lucy. As soon as she got there, Natsu showed up as well.

"Hey, Lucy!" Chills went down her spine as all her repressed anxiety and nervousness began to leak out.What'll I do? What'll I do?

Natsu smiled brightly at at Lucy as said girl nearly fainted on the spot.

I'm a pushover when it comes to pushy people. She thought frantically, closing her in in a panic. When she opened them again, Natsu was right in front of her

"Lucy," He said seriously, "I-I, really um, uh, you- I… You're late!" He blurted out.

Lucy's heart stopped for a second. Huh? "Ano, late for what?"

Natsu froze for split second before grabbing a shovel out of nowhere. "Um, there's a treasure here!" He said quickly. "And I, uh, needed help digging it up."

I stared at him, confused for a couple of seconds. He stared back, a light blush on his cheek that was barely visible.

"What?"

"Um, I uh, Master er, someone told me it's uh, full of um, er, embarrassing photos!" He said quickly. "And, um, I could use it for blackmail against, uh Gray!" He nodded, pleased with his answer. "Yep, there's embarrassing photos of everyone and I want to blackmail my enemy." Natsu sweated nervously, but Lucy didn't notice.

Lucy stared at Natsu for a few seconds more, not at all seeing through his pathetic lie due to her emotions running wild.

SLAP!

Natsu held a hand to his cheek where a red hand mark surely was, watching as Lucy ran away from him.

She ran with tears beginning to form in her eyes. How could I be so stupid? Of course he wasn't going to confess. She ran all the way to her apartment, ignoring everyone and everything around her. Lucy slammed the door of her apartment shut and stood there, breathing heavily, tears beginning to form in her eyes as she slowly slid down. Her head snapped up at the sound of her window opening.

As a familiar pink haired dragon slayer slowly climbed down, eyes on Lucy the entire time. He came closer, and Lucy stayed in the same position. Natsu knelt down in front of her.

"I'm sorry Luce."

She said nothing, so he continued. "I called you out there before, to, to confess my feelings for you. But, I guess I kinda just panicked and covered it up."

Lucy looked at him curiously, before wiping her tears off her face. Silently she stood up, Natsu followed her lead and for a couple of seconds, they just stood there, staring into each others eyes.

Suddenly, Lucy came forward and wrapped her arms around Natsu's neck, kissing him deeply.

Said boy froze for a second, before realizing what was happening, and he melted into the kiss.

Eventually, they stopped, needing air. They stood close together, until finally, Lucy let out her suppressed emotions.

And kicked Natsu across the room.

"Kyaaa!"

"You stupid dragon slayer! Do you have any idea how horrible you made me feel with your stupid lie!"

"I'm sorry!" Natsu got down on his knees bowing to Lucy, apologising repeatedly.

She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "You should be, I had no idea how I was going to face you and everyone else tomorrow it there really was just a stupid treasure you wanted."

Natsu continued bowing and apologising, which brought a slight smile to Lucy face.

"You're lucky I like you too Natsu."

He looked up. "So, do you forgive me?" He asked hopefully.

"No." His face fell. "So I'm gonna have to punish you. No kisses for a week."

"But Lucyyyyyy…" He whined.

"No complaining, or else I'll have to prolong your punishment." She leaned down and kissed him on the nose. "Your punishment starts tomorrow, but for now we have to make up for a lot of lost time."

And there you have it! I'm really, really, really, really, really, really sorry about the long wait MasterGildarts! I really hope this was to your liking.
