I love it how my story, "My Three Older Fairy Tail Brothers," has almost 5,000 views! I'm seriously jumping up and down as I write this. DON'T JUDGE!

Enjoy!

*NATSU POV*

She was lying in the hospital bed, barely breathing. It was all my fault. I should've protected her from the start. The guilt that I was feeling was spreading all over my body. Ryan was dead. Chase was barely awake. All of these mixed emotions kind of got the best of me.

Chase was in the hospital for about five days. Each time I went to visit, I had Erza, Lucy, Gray, Happy, Thunder, and Wendy by my side. Wendy already healed her, but that wasn't enough. Not to me, at least.

As I was sitting down on a chair near Chase, I held her hand tightly. I then felt someone place a hand on my shoulder.

"It's alright, Natsu." Erza said, trying to reassure me, "Chase is a tough girl. She will pull through. You know that already, right?"

I nodded lightly. All I could think about was Chase. Her dark blue eyes, her silky dark brown hair, everything about her just made me want to pull her into a tight hug. But I didn't.

"We should leave him alone for a while," I heard Lucy say, "He probably needs some time alone."

"That's fine…" I mumbled, "Just please, go."

I then heard footsteps trailing out of the room. I finally had some time to myself with Chase. She was peacefully sleeping, taking light breaths each second.

"I'm so sorry, Chase...this is all my fault. Ryan's dead because I didn't get there in time. He was a tough guy, and you know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Your Mom and Dad would be so proud of you right now…"

That's when a miracle happened.

Chase's eyes started to flutter open very slowly. I jumped up and looked at her face, watching it move as she looked at me.

"Hey, Natsu. What's new?" she said, acting like nothing had just happened.

"You're...you're awake?!" I responded in surprise, leaning in closer to her.

"Yeah, what did you think?"

I was so happy that I went up and hugged her tightly. I started to cry a little, which was rare for me. All of the good memories from our childhood together began to flow through me.

"N-Natsu…" she stuttered. "Is Ryan…?"

I suddenly let go of her slowly. My smile began to break. "Yeah. I'm so sorry."

Her smile began to break as well. Tears began to morph into her eyes, and I hugged her again. Her light sobs made me feel guilty.

"Don't blame yourself," she whispered, "It wasn't anyone's fault, but it was Tenma's fault. He's the one who killed Ryan, not us."

I hate to admit it, but some of the guilt was flowing away from me. But chase was right. It was Tenma's fault, but he was in jail now. The army caught him in the One Steel guild hall. No thinking at all, I kissed Chase on the forehead.

She stared at me in shock. "W-What was that for?" she asked me, as a light smile began to appear on her face.

I smiled back a little. "It's just to show how much I care about you." I responded.

Chase's smile grew wide. We then began to lean in near each other, and then our lips met. I couldn't pull her away. I felt happy when I was with her, especially right now. She was the one of those people that you run into, and they make your life wonderful in a short amount of time. I hate to admit it, but I think that I liked that moment.

We separated in a long amount of time. Chase's eyes were closed, but she was yet still smiling. "Natsu…" she said under her breath. "Don't ever leave me again."

"I won't." I responded. Out of the corner of my eye, I found Wendy, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Thunder, and Happy standing in the doorway. The look on their faces said it all. They were surprised to the core. Chase eventually spotted them as well.

"They loveeee each other!" I heard Happy say, flying around the infirmary with joy. Chase and I blushed a light shade of pink. We didn't even respond.

"Damn straight, Happy!" Gray said high-fiving Happy. I started to boil up with frustration and embarrassment.

"SHUT UP, ICE PRINCESS!" I shouted, letting Chase out of my grasp.

"Now Natsu," Erza began, "No need to be embarrassed. We should've just come at a later time, right Gray?!" Erza shot a death glare at Gray.

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say, Erza." Gray mumbled. I then looked at Chase. She was speechless, in a good way, though.

"I knew it from the start that Chase would hook up with Natsu," Thunder began, as he was flying over to his partner, "Just don't do anything stupid, you hear me, Chase?"

She nodded nervously, looking at her partner. "Y-Yeah, I got it, don't worry."

*CHASE POV*

After about three days, I was out of the Fairy Tail infirmary. It turns out that the whole guild threw a party for me after I recovered. Everyone was so happy to see me, especially a certain Dragon Slayer.

"So...what are you going to do now?" Natsu asked me, as we were standing out in front of the guild hall.

"Probably just go back home with Thunder, I guess." I responded, shrugging.

"How about you join Fairy Tail?" Natsu chuckled. "You could live in Fairy Hills with Erza, Lucy, Wendy, and all of the other girls."

I felt surprised. He suggested that I should join Fairy Tail? I couldn't help it but to hug Natsu tightly. I was so overjoyed.

"Well, duh!" I responded. "I'll totally join Fairy Tail!"

"I was hoping that you would say that. This way I'll get to see you more often."

"I feel the exact same way…" I let go of him, slowly. We were then interrupted by Gray.

"C'mon, love birds! Stop flirting and enjoy the party!" he shouted. Natsu and I looked at each other and laughed. We then began to walk into the guild hall. He was always by my side ever since that day.

I'm thinking about making a sequel, I don't know.

See ya! ~Ava
