A/N: Before you read this you should know that I am sitting on my bed with a gallon of Sunny D in my lap and I'm slightly feverish at the morning so this might be one hell of a one shot, but I hope that it turns out well and that I don't fail. So please go ahead and read my feverish one shot. I'm also currently listening to Taylor Swift (1989 Album) so if anything remotely Swiftie comes out in this…. I apologize, but only if you don't like Taylor Swift.

Chapter 10

Natsu scratched his head and watched Lucy from across the guild. He watched as she laughed at something that Levy had said. His shoulders drooped as he realized that she didn't even notice him anymore. It had been almost a year since they broke up, but he still wasn't over her. She seemed to be moving on though and there were even rumors floating around the guild that she might be seeing Erza now. Natsu knew that that wasn't true though. Erza had been dating Mirajane for almost two years, although no one in the guild knew that.

Natsu sighed as he watched Lucy laugh and joke. He was happy that she seemed happy, but it made him sad to think that she didn't feel the same way about him. Macao and Romeo had tried to cheer him up by taking him out to eat, but it didn't work. Gray had even tried provoking him into a fight (since fighting was one of Natsu's favorite things to do), but not even that worked. The dragon slayer seemed to be in a slump that he just couldn't get out of. Everyone noticed, but no one knew what to do about it so they just kind of sat by and hoped that he would snap out of it eventually.

Lucy felt him staring at her. She knew that he would sit at that table in the corner and watch her and it made her sad. Secretly she wished that he would walk over and tell her that he still loved her and that he wanted her back, but it had been almost a year and that hadn't happened. Her face dropped and Levy put a hand on her shoulder. It hurt to know that her best friend was still so upset. She knew how it felt to hope that someone would say something, but then knowing that it wouldn't happen. The blue haired mage was still waiting for Gajeel to tell her how he felt.

"Are you okay Lu-chan?" Levy asked her friend.

"I'm fine, Levy-chan. Really!"

Lucy's fake smile was back and Levy knew that there wasn't anything she could do to take her friends mask off. She looked over her shoulder at the mopey dragon slayer and frowned. If he wasn't going to take the hint then she was just going to have to tell him. The blue haired mage got up and started to march over to the dragon slayer. Lucy turned and watched her friend walk away before turning back to stare at the bar. She knew where this was going and she wasn't sure how things were going to turn out. She just hoped that Levy wouldn't try and smack some sense into him like Erza had.

"You should go and tell her how you feel instead of just sitting over here and staring all day." Levy put her hands on her hips and glared at Natsu. The dragon slayer looked up and his face contorted in confusion.

"Do you think that'll really work?"

"Why don't you try it and find out?"

Natsu scratched his head and looked back at Lucy. He wasn't sure if just telling her how he felt would actually work, but if Levy was telling him to do it then it must be worth a shot. The dragon slayer got up and started to walk toward the bar. His heart started to beat faster as he got closer. It had been so long since he had spoken to her and he just hoped that the words would come out and that he wouldn't say something stupid. He approached the bar and gently tapped Lucy on the shoulder. She turned to face him and he opened his mouth to say something, but nothing would come out. So instead of saying how he felt, he decided to show it instead.

Natsu leaned forward and kissed Lucy. She sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist. He had missed this. They both had missed this. A few moments later, they pulled away and smiled at each other. The dragon slayer gave her one of his famous closed eyed smiles and she couldn't stop herself from laughing. She gave him a hug and rested her head against his chest.

"Lu-chan! You won't believe what just happened!"

Lucy looked over to see her best friend waving at her. She had her arm around a blushing Gajeel and his arm was tightly wrapped around her waist. Both girls smiled at each other and Lucy could only imagine the amount of double dates that they would drag their boyfriends on. It was something that the two girls always talked about and now it could actually happen. Natsu and Gajeel exchanged a look and both boys knew that they were doomed. This is what they got for dating the closest pair in Fairy Tail.
