Okay! Chapter Ten XD
Thanks To: Rose Tiger, I hope the explanation was good ^^
And I maybe should tell you others why all the 'bad guys' are after Natsu (:
Explanation to why Hades want Natsu dead:Natsu's great grandfather (whoever that was, let's call him 'grampie') was once a member of Hades father's gang, but after Grampie had killed Hades father, Brain (lol), he swore to kill the youngest of the Dragneels. And that happens to be little Natsu ^^
Okay, this chapter is fluffy, not romance with deep kisses and that stuff, more embarrassing things. I'm just teasing ya' there is going to be romance in this chapter, I've promised that, so~ there maybe is going to be a kiss between them, read to find out :3
And there is one thing I have thought of… I said I never were going to do lemons, but then I came to think of that you people want to have it or not in this FF… but I'm not good at lemons, since I'm 15 (I never have done it) and all that, but I know what sex is… but if you guys want one, don expect it to that good ^^ so review if you want a lemon later on XD
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, Hori Mashima does XD and the songs aren't mine either (:
Chapter Ten: You Raise Me Up
Star Street 43, House 17, Natsu's Room, July, Wednesday 09.18am
Lucy stirred when the sun shined in to the room. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around. This wasn't her room. Then she remembered, she had asked her mother to sleep over at Natsu's place. Her mother had agreed since she know he will take care of her precious daughter. But she had to sleep in Natsu's bed, she wasn't going to sleep on the floor or the couch, never she would do that. A groan could be heard beside her, so she turned her head to the left and saw Natsu smiled in his sleep. 'How cute…' she thought and smiled softly.
When she was about to get up, she felt something was wrapped around her waist. Slowly she looked down and saw a arm lay loosely over her waist. Carefully she started to lift his arm away. When Natsu's arm was almost off her, he somehow twisted his arm free and then, his arm was around her waist, again. Okay, she give up. Sighing she laid down on the mattress and closed her eyes. Maybe he will wake up soon, but then she remembered how long he slept in the cottage they shared on the camp. She sweat-dropped. It was going to take sometime before he is awake.
"L..Luce…" he mumbled and said something more, like she was a weirdo and scary. Oh, now he was going to feel pain. Evilly she smiled and looked around for a pen or something. For her luck, there was one on the bedside table. With small movements she drew whiskers on his cheeks and big black rings around his eyes. And the final thing was a mustache with swirls. Fast she hided the pen and pretended to sleep when he started to stir. She heard him yawn before he got up. She opened her right eye and saw him walk over to the bathroom door on the other side of the room. Quietly she counted; '5... 4... 3... 2... 1...'
"AAAAAHHH!" Natsu's scream echoed through the whole house, and probably in the whole neighborhood. Lucy hided her face in the pillow and laughed hard. "LUCY!" he shouted and ran out from the bathroom while pointing at his face. Said girl looked up and, yeah, she began to laugh again. Irritated Natsu sprinted over to her and towered over her. "You…" he growled and grabbed the pen she had dropped beside her.
"Natsu! Don't you dare!" she screamed and tried to get away, but Natsu was fast. He had got an hold of her upper arm and jerked her back to him. Lucy squealed in surprise and started to struggle, but he was much stronger than her, so there was no point to even try. Smiling he neared the tip of the pen to her face.
"Revenge is sweet~" he purred and started to draw on her forehead. First he wrote his autograph and small circles. Then he got to her nose and painted it black on the tip. As the last thing he did two hearts on each side of her cheeks. "There, all done." he said and smiled proudly at his work. Lucy pouted, but started to laugh. Natsu laughed also, but got up to wash his face off. She followed him inside. Even the bathroom was big. The walls was red and the floor was black tiled. The shower was combined with the bathtub, which where big like the bed in Natsu's room. The sink was white and the toilet was also white, and looked like an normal toilet.
"Everything in your house is so big! How can you have everything so clean?" she asked and trailed her fingers against the walls. Natsu smiled.
"I have a housekeeper, so that's why it's clean." he answered and started to wash his face. Lucy just stared at him.
"Oh…" was all she could say. When it finally was her turn to take the black paint of her, she looked at herself in the mirror. "I think I'll keep the autograph."
"Yeah yeah, weirdo" Natsu retorted and smirked. Lucy did almost wash everything, but she missed almost the whole heart on her right cheek. Natsu chuckled at her and got a towel and started to rub the mark away. "You missed something." he said in a teasing voice. Lucy stuck out her tongue at him, he just ignored it and continued with what he was doing.
"Are you done yet?" she asked. Natsu nodded and laid the towel on the sink. Lucy smiled and walked out from the bathroom, only to be met by Igneel, gawking at her. "Luce? What's wro-" Natsu stopped in his tracks, his idiot father stood at the door and gaped at them.
"My son!" Igneel shouted and jumped at the two youngsters and crushed them into a big hug. Lucy didn't understand why she had to be in the hug too. She wasn't his son, neither was she his daughter. "And my daughter in law! I can already hear the small feet of grandchildren run around in this house!" Lucy blushed and Natsu snapped.
"Let go, you old geezer!" a powerful punch in the face and Igneel was down. Natsu looked to Lucy and she was still blushing. He first wondered what she was blushing about, but soon he remembered what his idiot father had burst out. His cheeks became slightly pink. "We should go down…" he said and walked over his father. Lucy didn't want to be rude, so she walked around poor Igneel and walked after Natsu down to the kitchen.
When they came down, someone stood at the stove. Lucy guessed it was the housekeeper. "Ah, good morning, Natsu-sama." the woman said and smiled. She was in her forties and seemed to be very kind. The woman then turned to Lucy and gave her a warm gaze. "Good morning to you too, miss Lucy." Lucy smiled back.
"Morning, Zeng-san." Natsu greeted and sat down by the table. Lucy bowed and said her greeting to Zeng too, before sitting down opposite to Natsu. He smiled at her and leaned back on the chair. "Wanna go somewhere later?" he asked and started to shove in his breakfast Zeng had put on the table.
"Yeah, sure. But first I must go home and put on new clothes. I don't want to go in your boxers and t-shirt all day." she said and took a bite on her French toast.
Strawberry Street 12, House 7, 14.37pm
LUCY'S POV;
Finally, I have my own clothes on. New fresh garments is the best. And later this evening, Natsu and I are going to the amusement park. It wasn't planned at first, but the director at the park wanted Natsu to come and sing. Not so surprising, huh? Anyway, we're at my house right now and playing a card games, and Natsu's such a bad loser.
"I win!" I shouted and showed my card to him. Natsu just snorted and looked at me with an sullen expression. "What?" I asked and smiled. He was about to respond when there was a knock on the door. I got up and walked down to the hallway and opened the door. "Hello?"
"Yo, is the ash-brain here?"
"Hey! Who are you calling an ash-brain, metal-face?" Natsu shouted upstairs. I sweat dropped, he only heard that. Then I heard him coming down with his hands in the pockets. "What is it?" he asked Gajeel and leaned against the doorframe.
"The director from the park called. He wondered if you could come a bit earlier. So we are going there now." he said and pointed with his thumb at the car behind him.
"Why do we have to go there earlier?" I asked and started to put on my shoes. Gajeel shrugged, so he didn't know. Natsu had put on his boots and waited for me to come. But before I walked out from the house I shouted an goodbye to my mom and closed the door.
At The Amusement Park, 15.07pm
NORMAL POV;
Adults and children where everywhere. Luckily, Natsu and the gang got in from the back way.
"Oh! Thank you for coming, Dragneel-sama." the director said and shook hand with said boy. "My name is Jura Nekis." he presented his name and bowed down deeply. Jura then showed them the stage where Natsu were going to sing, and of course Gajeel, Loke and Gray was going to guard the backstage. Lucy didn't know what she would do, so she decided to sit in the audience. Natsu offered her to watch from the backstage, but she said she didn't want to. "As a thanks, you can ride whatever you want for free until 18.00pm." Jura said and the group cheered and high-five.
"Natsu! Let's ride the Train-rollercoaster first!" Lucy exclaimed and took his hand. They rode one rollercoaster after another. They had really fun and got a picture from every ride they went on.
Backstage, 17.56pm
Lucy peeked out from the curtains and her heart almost stopped when she saw how many people it was in the audience. Natsu approached her from behind and laid a hand on her shoulder. She glanced at him and smiled.
"Just as expected. Crowded with people out there." she said and laughed a bit. "Which song did you chose to sing?" she asked. Natsu smirked and shook his head.
"No telling, you will see. It's one of my best song ever." he said and put his index finger over his mouth. Lucy pouted and crossed her arms. "Well, I should go out there…" he said and took a microphone. Lucy followed him with her eyes and smiled softly. Natsu was something special, not just that he is talented and famous. He's is also kindhearted and a bit of an idiot, but that what's making him so cute, he is just Natsu.
"Good luck, out there." she said and walked out from the backstage. She walked over to the audience and faced the stage. She wondered which song he had chose. He said it was one of his best, and there was plenty she could guess of.
"AH~ NATSU!" everyone almost screamed and cheered when the curtains rose up and a smiling Natsu walked out on the stage.
"Hello, how ya' doing this lovely evening?" he asked. The fans squealed. Some girls looked like they were about to faint. Natsu smirked and his eyes caught a glance at Lucy. His smile softened. "I was told today that I was going to sing for you people here and I hope you will enjoy it." whistles and shouting came from the audience. "I'm going to sing 'You Raise Me Up'. Start it guys!" he shouted at the guy who controlled the music.
"When I am down and, oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be, then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up… to more than I can be"
He paused when the musical break played. Again people whistled and clapped hands. Lucy had listened to this song many times, and it was still good as ever. Even better when she listened it live. At the end of the break Natsu walked closer to the edge of the stage and held out his hand in the air.
"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up… to more than I can be"
There was a short pause before he continued to sing, while he clutched his hand above where is heart was.
"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
Raise me up… to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on you shoulders
You raise me up… to more than I can be"
The music slowed down and Natsu put both of his hands on the microphone and sang the last part.
"You raise me up… to more than I can be~" and the song was finished. People clapped hands and cheered loudly. Lucy had an smile on her lips. When Natsu was singing that song, it felt like he sang for her, and her only. Her heart had actually skipped a beat or two when he looked at her, or maybe he just glanced over the audience. She shook her head, no need to be disappointed. But she have a feeling that she thinks him more than a friend.
Natsu got off the stage and the curtains rolled down behind him. He had to get something to drink. Like he could read his thoughts, Gray threw him a bottle of mineral water, which he caught easily. He the walked out from the backdoor. Luckily visitors couldn't get back there without a card. He gulped down half of the water and then walked up to a hill that was just outside the park. He sat down on the grass and looked at the now dark sky. Stars shined and tinkled everywhere. And the moon was bight and pure white. A beautiful view…
"Can I sit down?" a familiar voice asked. He smiled and patted on the empty space beside him. Lucy sat down and smiled warmly. "You where great up there." she said and glanced at him. Natsu chuckled and put an arm around her shoulders. A light pink color found it's way to her cheeks.
They sat there in complete silence. But the screams from the rollercoaster reached their ears, but it was a comforting sound.
"Ah! A shooting star, wish for something, Luce." Natsu exclaimed and pointed at the falling star. Lucy giggled but closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she looked to Natsu. He still had his eyes closed. Looks like he makes a long wish. Then he opened his eyes again and he glanced down at her with an smile. She smiled back and leaned into his embrace. First he tensed up, but relaxed when she was still again.
"What did you wish for, Natsu?" Lucy asked and glanced up to him. Said boy shrugged.
"Nothing much, just that I want you to be safe." he answered and, was he blushing? Lucy's already flushed cheeks went to an darker shade of pink. "What about you?"
"I… uhm.. I wished for a good future." she said and chuckled a bit. "A good future with all my friends and you." she continued. Now she felt extremely embarrassed. It sounded like she was confessing to him, and maybe she was. She didn't know, but the feelings she have for him is more than friendship. "That's what I wished for."
Natsu looked at her with look that she couldn't describe. "Luce… can you help me with something?" he asked. Lucy nodded slowly. Natsu inhaled and looked at her with determined eyes. "For this past days, my body has felt different."
"Different?" she asked and tilted her head to the side. He nodded. Lucy didn't know what she should say so she leaned more into him.
"Like, my heart is beating really fast. And do you know who is making my heart like that?" he asked and looked at her. Lucy shrugged her shoulders. Natsu chuckled and leaned his head down to her ear. "You. It's you who make my heart beat like a mad drummer." he whispered. Lucy's eyes widened, what did he mean?
"N-Natsu…" she groaned when he started suck on her neck. His lips were warm, so warm. But in her head, things weren't calm, thoughts whirled around and her feelings were just a big knot. Natsu leaved her neck, now with an red mark placed there to tell she was his. Wait, since was Lucy his?
"You are the first I feel this to…" he mumbled to her. A shiver ran down her spine and she blushed even more at his husky voice. "Be mine, Luce?" he asked and kissed her neck. Again she groaned.
"Yes…" she whispered. Natsu smiled and got away from her neck. He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. First Lucy was stiff, but soon relaxed and shyly kissed him back.
When the broke apart, they smiled at each other and hugged. They never thought of that after just have known each other for one month, but maybe fate was like that. Their hands intertwined and they sat there, under the moonlight and the twinkling stars.
They looked at each other again and kissed. "I love you…" he mumbled into the kiss. Lucy smiled and mumbled that she loved him back. One month and some days, and they fell in love. That's how they got together.
