Last day! I won't be doing the bonus days like I had originally planned because I don't have enough time. Thank you for sticking with me though! :)
Btw, this is short on purpose so don't kill me XD.

Intertwined (Day 7)
All three of them were exhausted and coming home from a week long mission in Acalypha. Happy was hovering in front of them, leading the way silently with his head down, nearly falling asleep. They were on their way to the guild; the three of them had promised to be at Mira's birthday party, but all they really wanted to do right now was sleep.
All three of the Strauss' would kill Team Natsu if they didn't show up for Mira's party so the three of them had to drag their weary bodies to the guild hall.
Natsu and Lucy were each other's support. When one was down, the other was there for them. When one was tired, the other helped them stand up. When one wad wounded, the other wouldn't leave their side. Natsu was Lucy's support and Lucy was Natsu's support.
The two came to the conclusion long ago that they needed each other.
They don't talk about it; they just know without words. They knew they loved each other without ever saying it. They only denied it in front of their oblivious friends who knew nothing about their intertwined hearts.
Not even Happy knew about it; he wouldn't he able to keep that kind of secret. He would just get excited and scream to the world. Natsu and Lucy had silently decided that the whole affair would be private until further notice; they'd let Happy in when he seemed more secretive, when he knew the difference between something that could be shared and something that shouldn't.
Lucy lifted her heavy head and glanced at Natsu, who was hanging his head from lack of sleep. The dark circles under his eyes told the countless of times he had pushed himself to his limit on the job. He looked like he was about to pass out – he was probably more exhausted than she was.
Quietly, Lucy curled her fingers around his, warming her hand up and letting him know that she was there for him.
Natsu turned to her with glassy, onyx eyes, and met her supportive and loving smile she'd show only for him. Lucy knew Natsu loved that smile, it was specifically for him and no one else; she knew Natsu got prideful when it came to her loving smile.
He smiled back, glassy eyes turning gentle as Lucy squeezed his fingers. Eying Happy to make sure he wasn't looking, Natsu brought her hand to his lips, kissing each of her fingers that stroked and squeezed his own.
Happy didn't turn around at the sound of small smooches; he either didn't hear it or he was too tired to care.
Natsu lowered their hands, squeezing hers back. He didn't look as tired as he did before and Lucy was glad. He had a smile of his face now and he was able to keep his eyes open. They could make it through this night together without falling asleep now.
The two walked into the oblivious guild who didn't notice their intertwined fingers. The two loved each other and their intertwined hearts vouched for that.

I hope you enjoyed the last day of NaLu Week 2017! I made it very fluffy and short on purpose! ^^' Just fyi, I'm leaving for camp on July 10th – 14th so I won't be able to post anything then. When I come back, I'll make sure to write another chapter of "Where is END?". Then I think I'll work on "The Bloody Child" or "Eruption".
