A/N: thank you everyone who had reviewed, favourited and followed! I really still can't believe this story has much response hurhur.

Anyhoo, would like to apologize for the previous chap, I kinda feel it wasn't enough. I felt I could have made it much better I guess? But I've alrdy threw it out here and I have this habit to not look through until I'm comfortable. Does that make sense? Lol.

It's nalu time! Ah, let me know if you guys want the wet dream to happen after this chap, cos I'm still contemplating on it. Hoho.

Enjoy!

Lucy gazed at Natsu who slept without a care in the world next to her. His toned body naked for her to touch and see freely. Sighing, she stroked from his shoulder to his hip and back again. So warm and firm and, muscular.

Letting out another sigh, she traced his face. She lingered on his lips while she pondered about what had just transpired.

Soon after their little session, which Lucy was able to garner more energy from it, they had cuddled in silence. Uncaring if the other was sweaty and sticky. Uncaring if it was moving too fast for either of them to be emotionally invested in their act. Well, that was what Lucy was feeling anyway.

It was so, weird. She had never felt so strongly for someone and to top it off, an angel. He had also caved in without much effort and had been the one to willingly please her without her compulsion. Was it all an act to throw her off or did he really mean all of it?

He did ask about his captured friends but Lucy had reassured him that they were safe. She had deliberately sent most of the angel prisoners to her sisters on purpose as they would usually help them escape and would tell the demon army they were disposed of instead. Though the sisters occasionally had their fun as well.

The sisters had long lost interest in the war and came to realise that no matter which side they took, it had no effect on the balance. Noone really won. The real purpose of the war was unknown even to the High Sins and the lower ranks had no interest but to only wreck havoc. It's their nature after all.

Lucy realised that sooner or later, she would have to let Natsu go. He obviously didn't belong there and Lucy cared enough not to keep him prisoner.

But maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't mind staying for an extended period of time with her..

A whimper broke through her thoughts and Lucy looked at Natsu. He was frowning as if in pain and small whimpers broke out. Lucy frantically closed her distance with him and even though he had calmed down considerably, he was still whimpering and whining.

Should she wake him up or dive in his mind? It looked like a bad dream but she wanted him to have sufficient rest. Okay, she also wanted to see what he was dreaming about. She could make it go away and he could continue to sleep.

With that, she rested her head just infront of Natsu and went in.

Going through the web of Natsu's sleep was easy, as she had done it before. As soon as she broke free from his mind shield, which was pretty flimsy to say the least, she came face to face with a blazing inferno.

Despite being in the dreamscape, she could feel the heat coming in wave after wave. Despair and hopelessness filled the air, surrounding her. Choking her.

In the middle of it, she could make out a tiny figure, huddling. Despite the raging fire, Lucy could hear sobs and wailing from the figure.

Using her wings to shield herself, Lucy crept closer until she could make out pink hair sticking out from the figure's head.

"Natsu?" She shouted. Natsu?! However, he wasn't able to hear her over the fire and his own despair.

Bracing herself, Lucy marched towards him, determined to get to him even if her wings were destroyed in the process.

It's only a dream, she thought. It will only hurt if she let it.

Blocking the pain, she finally reached him who had looked up to see who had sheltered him from the fire and wind.

Luce?

I do not know this Luce. She knelt down, cringing when another part of her wing burnt off.

What are you doing here?

To find you. Lucy opened her arms, indicating for him to come to her. It's okay now.

But.. I killed them. I killed Mama and Papa! I didn't mean to, I swear it! His little face scrunched up, eyes tearing up. And your wings! They're getting burnt! It's all my fault, I did this!

As if to prove his point, the inferno went wilder, the heat almost unbearable for any living thing to withstand.

Natsu. Lucy placed her hands on his cheeks, stroking the tears away. Did you create this massive fire?

Yes. He answered with a sob.

Then you can definitely control what you create. Is it not within your grasp?

I-I can't.. I tried when the fire burnt the house, but it was too late.

My wings are getting burnt off slowly.. do you hate me because I'm a demon?

No! I don't hate you! I would never hate a being just because of what they are! Mama said that was wrong!

Lucy smiled sadly at him. Then prove to me what Mama taught you, take control so it won't destroy me.

Little Natsu sniffed, grabbed both of her hands and shut his eyes closed, fierce with determination.

I will, you'll see.

At first, the fire seemed to be fighting with Natsu for control, as if it was a living being. Natsu clenched his teeth and gave a growl, as if to stake ownership.

With effort, the fire and wind slowed down, leaving only dust and smoke clouding around them. Natsu opened his eyes in wonderment.

I.. I did it, Luce! I controlled the fire!

You sure did. Lucy kissed his fingers and smiled at him. He gave her his grin, with his tiny canines peeking out. Good boy.

As Lucy stood up and Natsu ran around in circles screaming in victory, she felt a tug at the edge of the dreamscape. Light and holiness began to seep in the dream, making Lucy clench her jaw and quickly cradled Natsu to her chest.

L-Luce?

Ssshh... Natsu, do you know what good boys get for saving me? Lucy brushed her nose against his ear, loving it when he shivered in response.

What? His voice became softer, teeth biting his lower lip in anticipation.

They get a very, very, wet dream.

She crept in the dream, careful to mask her presence. She didn't want to interrupt the flow, her inexperience in handling dreams making her cautious and paranoid. She had only went inside Natsu's dream a couple of times and that was when they were too young to control their wings.

She had wondered where he had went those past few months, he should have been back by the third moon cycle. As he was always at the forefront of the war, she had thought nothing of it. Until she felt the heat and despair from the fragile link she had created when she first entered his nightmare.

It had been so long since he had that nightmare. A raging cycle about how he had accidentally set his home on fire, killing his parents after he had been so excited to show Igneel's gift; a fire dragon's magic. He would weep and weep in the middle of the burning storm. Helpless to take control until she came in and urged him to wake up.

But something was different. Instead of the fire storm he had surrounded himself with, the dream was an empty void. Natsu was nowhere to be seen.

Lisanna was sure she had connected with Natsu using their link and she should have entered the dream a few moments ago.

Standing still, she frowned and closed her eyes, trying to get a feel of their link again.

The temperature went down and goosebumps formed on Lisanna's skin.

Her eyes snapped open and got into a fighting stance, eyes darting around her surroundings.

She wasn't alone.

Lucy eyed the intruder with mild interest. She had never heard of an angel who could dreamwalk, especially over a distance. That alone showed that either she had a very established link with Natsu or she was powerful enough to create the link herself.

That put Lucy on edge.

Hair as pure as snow framed her beautiful face. Her skin was almost glowing from the holy power she naturally yield. Instead of an armour, she wore a long, peach coloured dress which reached her ankle. She had crept around barefoot, thinking she was stealthy but obviously Lucy had caught on when she entered the dream.

"Show yourself." The angel spoke confidently.

"Who wants to know?" Lucy asked, malice dripping from her voice.

"I am a close friend of this angel, I will not hesitate to defend him. Show yourself."

Oh? Natsu had someone waiting for him back home? Someone who obviously cared enough and had a solid link to feel his despair from across a distance. Someone who was much, purer than Lucy.

Lucy snapped her teeth and stepped forward from the darkness, revealing herself in all her naked glory.

Her wings spread out and the angel took a few steps back in response.

"A demon? You dare breach an angel's mind?" The female spat.

Lucy laughed. "Oh dear me, I don't think it's called a breach if the being in question welcomes my very presence. "

"Natsu would never welcome-"

"Shall I show you?" Lucy cut her off. As she waved her arm towards a black screen, a picture of an adult Natsu and another Lucy were kissing each other, naked, appeared.

The female quickly covered her eyes. "Nice try, demon. Now where's Natsu." She demanded though her voice faltered.

"I just showed you." Lucy replied haughtily. The couple behind her got even more heated together, touching, groping and sounds of approval could be heard.

"That's not even funny, demon. Natsu had no desires for his own brethen, what more of a cursed being!"

"Then why don't you use your precious link with him and feel if it's him?" Lucy sneered.

The angel did just that but her eyes snapped open soon after, face flushing red from the thoughts and desire coursing through Natsu.

"He would never! I know he would never betray us!" The angel flew at Lucy, attempting to attack her but Lucy simply disappeared and appeared behind the angel.

"Tsk. Does it bother you that he did not even desire you?" Lucy mocked while crossing her arms under her generous chest.

"That's not your business, demon. I will make Natsu realise that this is just a deception!" The angel then tried to use her link to Natsu in an attempt to make him realise that it was all a lie.

"You see, the thing about this 'deception' .." Lucy trailed as she slid near the angel, "is that no matter how close you think you are, if the being in question wants the lie.."

Lucy licked the outer shell of the angel's ear. "There's absolutely nothing you can do about it."

The angel jerked and tried to slap Lucy but she had already disappeared, laughing at the angel's distress.

"Now begone, angel."

Lisanna woke up with a start, sweating and gasping for air. The nerve of that fiend!

But the link did not lie. No matter how faint the impressions or thoughts, she was certain they were genuinely from Natsu.

She thought back to when they were young adults and Natsu was asked if he had wanted to pick a partner. He had rejected the idea immediately. Everyone had the impression it was because he had Lisanna.

And Lisanna thought she had him as well.

She clenched her fists thinking, that demon will pay! She must rescue Natsu.

Though she was merely a healer, she had the basic skills to defend herself. But it might not be enough.

Lisanna narrowed her eyes as she decided, she will ask for aid from their fiercest warrior; Titania.
