Me- Hey guys and I hope this chapter is good, I know I haven't written anything since Friday but I am on vacation after all, and it's hard when all you do is go out with your family away from the computer. Tonight we are going to a haunted restaurant and you want to know why I'm telling you this, because I want to. Anyway this is day 1 of Natsu being like a detective. So that means he has only two days to figure out what's going on, but if he fails then Lucy gets married. On a side note, if any of you guys have a story idea and want me to write a one shot story with your idea then review or pm me. I have a good idea for this story and I will just say that no matter what happens, don't worry about it and keep reading instead of counting it short. Enjoy!

Perfect For me

Through out the night, Natsu couldn't shake this feeling that something bad would happen in the next few days; something that could ultimately change his life forever. Natsu lied there motionless as he looked toward Lucy whom was sleeping soundly. Last night, Ichigo had taken them to a guest bedroom while he kept his arm around Lucy. Natsu was angered by what he was doing, and he knew that he was trying to make him mad enough to attack him, and he wasn't going to no matter how close he got to Lucy.

The un-easy feeling in Natsu's chest wouldn't go away, and the more he felt it the more he wanted to crawl in bed with Lucy and snuggle his head in her neck, engulfed in the sweet scent of vanilla, and strawberry. Natsu shook his head at the thought bubble that popped into his head, but even that didn't stop him from crawling into her bed anyway. He slowly got out of bed and snuck over to Lucy's side, she was still sleeping, and it didn't seem like any kind of movement would wake her up. Natsu slowly stepped over Lucy as he lay behind her, letting his hands snake around her waist gently, and his head snuggle in her neck. In an instant the uneasiness left him and he fell asleep within seconds.

Lucy opened her eye as she looked back at Natsu and she smiled gently. She then went back to pretending to sleep before she actually did feel unconsciousness take her away. Hours passed as through the night the two got closer, Lucy was now cuddled into his chest while his arms held her protectively with his head placed on the top of her head. It was almost 9 A.M, and Ichigo wasn't about to let the two sleep in, but once he entered the guest room, he did not expect to see the two guests in the same bed.

"Wake-up you idiots!" Ichigo yelled as Lucy's eyes fluttered open, and Natsu's eyes glared at the boy and hugged Lucy tighter.

Lucy was staring at Natsu's chest as she blushed slightly; she knew that Natsu slept in her bed last night because she let him. However, she wasn't about to let some stranger know she had feelings for the flame user, it could turn out badly. With the last thought she shoved Natsu away from her in a manner that she had dubbed more Lucy like.

"Good, now breakfast is ready, I decided to let your friends out of the cage as long as they are good. The red head couldn't get enough of the cake, so that kept her distracted, and the other two didn't do much but tell me if I hurt you that they would kill me." Ichigo explained as Natsu just glared at the boy for ruining what could have been a moment between him and Lucy. Natsu loved her that was for sure, but he was confused by her actions. Last night he had sworn she let him sleep there since he had a feelings she was watching him sleep. Now she had pushed him away like nothing had happened.

It was often said to him by Igneel that dragons only fell in love once and mated for life. He never knew if that meant the same for him since he had some dragon like aspects to him. When he had first fell in love with Lucy it was the moment that he first touched her. It was the way of the dragon, after they had touched there mate by touch than they were bonded to them, and could no longer love another. Dragons often choose their mates that fit their personality and scent. Natsu knew the moment her met Lucy that things would change but when dragons mated, they never did change, just got more protective of their mate. The reason why Natsu wanted Lucy to join was because when their hands touched he knew that she was the only one he would, and could love. Nobody else was going to take her away from him.

They sat at the breakfast table as they reunited with their comrades whom looked like they were deprived of sleep. You would be to if you had to sleep inside of a steel cage. Erza, however looked full of life, and couldn't stop filling her mouth with the red velvet cake in front of her. Natsu chanced a glance at Lucy whom Ichigo was surprisingly treating well, but it didn't quite add up. The night before, Ichigo had called Lucy ugly countless times and said multiple times that she wasn't his type. He kept reminding her on their way to the room.

"Well, Lucy make sure your ready by noon, I'm taking you out on a date." Ichigo said as if it were set and stone.

"A date!?" Lucy said as more of a question then anything. She didn't want to go on a date with the creep, and it didn't help when he walked away without hearing her comment on the matter.

"I can't stand that guy." Natsu stated as he chomped down hard on the pancakes that were placed in front of him as if they were Ichigo's face.

"Aye!" Happy agreed as Gray and Erza solemnly nodded.

"I know, but there's not much I can really do right now." Lucy said as Natsu looked up at his mate with sympathy. It wasn't fair that he couldn't hold her like he used to or be in her bed like he use to. There was a reason he snuck into her room every night, he loved the unconditional warmth of being next to Lucy as she unconsciously cuddled up into his chest. She was getting married and there was nothing he could do about it, and that irked him to no end.

"Truth be told, I thought it would be you and Natsu walking down the aisle instead of you and Ichigo." Erza said as Lucy whom had been drinking what appeared to be drinking coffee spewed its contents. Even Natsu had looked up at this statement, but Erza was oblivious to the uncomfortable situation the couple was placed in.

Lucy had thought of marrying Natsu, who hasn't thought of marrying the one they love as the two exchange vows and share a romantic kiss under a sunset. It was Lucy's ultimate fantasy, and she had always hoped for a moment like that so she can convey her feelings in her novel.

Natsu had also thought about it but not as intensely as Lucy did. He didn't know much about romance, but he did know that Lucy was meant to be with him and not prince-I-don't-care-cause-I'm-rich.

"Erza, why would you say that?" Lucy questioned as she regained her posture.

"Because you two are always together, and whether you like to admit it, I'd say you both have feelings for one another." Erza explained as the two were stunned with food particles falling from their mouths that were open wide.

"Me, like him, nope not in a million years." Lucy denied, she didn't want her feelings exposed, not yet. It wasn't the time.

Natsu, however, didn't say much but he did stand up from his seat abruptly which caught the attention of the four at the table. They couldn't see his face because it was covered by his bangs but when he ran off; Lucy knew she had to follow her partner. Something upset him and she'd find out what.

"Natsu!" Lucy called, but he didn't stop. He wasn't the type to get upset like this and because a scene, but Lucy had changed the moment they met. He loved her, and hearing her deny feelings for him hurt.

"Natsu please stop." Lucy begged as she finally caught up with him reaching out to grab a part of his vest. When her hand grabbed it, he stopped to look at her. She was confused, and Natsu owed her an explanation.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't like what you said." Natsu said with honesty. He couldn't stop the blush from creeping onto his cheeks.

"I'm sorry if you took that the wrong way but I meant…" Lucy was about to say before being interrupted.

"I know what you meant." Natsu told her, he couldn't slow down his fast beating heart as he stared at her. Lucy looked up at him before walking toward him and gently laying her head on his chest as she hugged his figure. She never thought of the possibility that Natsu would like her back, but she had to prove it for herself. If his heart said anything she knew it would only beat this fast for her, but despite that revelation, she would not tell him her true feelings till she was ready. Until this ordeal was over.

Natsu stood motionless for what felt liked hours, but he eventually returned the embrace. The least he could do his hold her now before she went on her date, and before he lost her forever through the binds of marriage.

Me-Hey guys and thank you for all the reviews. On my profile there are two stories listed that is in progress, and will be updated on certain days. This is one of them and I'm glad that it's Monday so I can update it. I'm sorry for the wait. I was on vacation and didn't have much time to write, plus work didn't help either. Lucy and Natsu will progress and eventually reveal their feelings to one another but that won't be for a while. My plans for the story have altered slightly. There will be twists but remember this note. 'It will be a HAPPY ending'

Every Monday starting today, there will be a new chapter updated, but on special occasions when I have work to closing, it will be moved to Tuesday night. This week I will be working on a brand new chapter, and next Monday there should be an update. If not, I either got writers block, or work. Most likely work cause I already planned this story. Some parts are as I go, but most of it was planned. If Natsu are ocish at all, then I apologize, and I'll do my best to make it so it's not like that.

Make sure you review and also check out my cross over fic. I need opinions on that fic in order to continue. Once I get one review stating what triangle they would like first, then it will then be updated every Friday. Anyway can't wait to hear your feedback.
