Hey guys. If you go to my profile, you'll see I've started another story. It's called the Shadow Knight. But still, read this one right now :)and please review more :D

"Oh god, who knew it'll be so cold nowadays." Lucy shivered. It was nighttime on a Wednesday evening (and a month since Natsu's leg healed) and Natsu and Lucy just finished a tiring day at Fairy Tail Academy trying to help Natsu catch up with his homework. Natsu's scarf was wrapped around both their necks as they walked down the lonely dark street with linked arms.

"We're gonna be home soon so don't die on me." Natsu teased. Lucy sighed slightly. They walked through the dimly lit park. Only one light shone above a park bench. It seemed oddly eerie even though her arm was linked with Natsu's. All of a sudden Natsu shook his head like a wet dog.

"What…" Lucy looked at him.

"Sorry." He said. "Thought I felt something." Lucy looked back at the path. She looked at her pigtail drooped on her shoulder, there was something small and white. She looked back over at Natsu who had his gloved hand held out. He was looking at the palm of his hand. More small white spots fell from the sky and into his hand. They both looked around.

"It's snowing." Lucy said cheerfully. She was right. More and more larger snowflakes fell onto the path and the dimly lit streetlamp. What at first was a few tiny snowflakes falling down had now turned into a small storm. Cold wind blew piles of snow into the couple's faces.

"We should really go." Natsu started walking faster. Lucy tried to keep up while lugging around her wheelie bag. When they arrived at Natsu's front porch, they were both almost blue in the face and they shivered like crazy.

"Unlock that fucking door faster!" Lucy whined.

"You don't think I'm trying!" Natsu shot back. He managed to open the door and they both stumbled in. They sat on the floor and sighed.

"It's so much warmer in here!" Lucy smiled with relief.

"Totally." Natsu rubbed his hands together. Igneel, Grandeeney and Wendy were in the living room.

"Hey kids, welcome home." Igneel said warmly.

"Hi Dad." Natsu replied as he and Lucy took off their coats.

"It just started to snow." Lucy stated.

"Really!" Wendy looked out the window. "It is!" Wendy cheered. Igneel and Grandeeney looked out the window as well.

"It's really beautiful." Grandeeney stated. Natsu and Lucy walked up the stairs to Lucy's room. It started to snow even more. Lucy changed into her cat hoodie and pajama shorts. She sat by the window in a fetal position staring out at the snowfall. Natsu sat on her bed staring at her. Her shorts were so short it looked a lot like she wasn't wearing any bottoms.

"Hey you're gonna be cold if you stay like that." Natsu stated.

"Nah, it's ok." Lucy pulled stack of papers from a drawer and began furiously writing. Natsu creeped over to her side.

"Whatcha writin'?" Natsu asked childishly.

"Nothing…" Lucy replied.

"Come on. Can I see? Please?" Natsu bent his head and gave her puppy dog eyes.

"No."

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?" Natsu begged.

"No!" Lucy poked Natsu with her pen.

"Lucy!" Natsu jumped on top of Lucy (minding his weight) and tickled her.

"Stop it!" Lucy laughed. She tried to fight back but her arms were held by Natsu. They stared into each others' eyes. Natsu got off of her. Natsu rested his head on her chest and nuzzled the side of his face against it. Lucy sighed. "Fine. But only after I'm done."

"Yay!" Natsu kissed Lucy cheek and pranced around. Lucy rolled her eyes.

"You weirdo." Lucy giggled and adjusted her cannula.

The next, everything was covered in white. The trees, the ground and the houses. School was cancelled due to the blizzard the previous night. Lucy walked out of the house lugging her wheelie bag and her white ice skates tied together at the laces on her shoulder with Natsu at her side.

"It's practically a winter wonderland!" Lucy gushed as Plue jumped at her feet wearing his mini dog coat. Happy followed Natsu out solemnly as if to say 'I hate winter'.

"Yeah." Natsu smiled. It was still snowing slightly. He held out his hand as a small delicate snowflake fell into his gloved palm.

"Got your skates?" Lucy asked.

"Yup." He held them up.

"Let's go!" Lucy grabbed Natsu hand and dragged him off to the Magnolia river. When they got there, it was frozen blank. Straight out of a scene from Frozen. Gray, Juvia, Gajeel and Levy were already there.

"Hey, Lu!" Levy raised her hand to waved but slipped and caught by Gajeel.

"Careful, shrimp. You don't even know how to skate." Gajeel said.

"I so can skate!" Levy shot back.

"Gray-sama is so amazing at skating!" Juvia gushed. Gray rolled his eyes and laughed. Natsu and Lucy put on their skates.

"You sure you're gonna be ok?" Natsu asked.

"I'll be fine." Lucy replied with a smile. Lucy pulled out the straps of her wheelie bag and put them over her shoulders. The duo stepped onto the ice. Natsu started walking on the ice cautiously.

"Hey Natsu. Been a long time since you went out on the ice!" Gray called out.

"Didn't think you'd be able to do it again, Salamander." Gajeel said smugly.

"What…?" Lucy looked at Natsu.

"Yeah this thing happened way back in freshman year. I fell through the ice." Natsu stated.

"Aw, poor you." Lucy said sympathetically. "Now stop walking like an old grandma and start skating normally!" Lucy skated off. Even with a heavy oxygen tank on her back she still managed to skate nicely. Plue was flicking bits of snow at Happy much to his annoyance.

"Uh…Juvia still can't do it." Juvia sat on the ice and sulked. Gray skidded to her side and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Come on, you can do this. I'll help you." Gray helped her up and started teaching her to skate.

"I think I got this…" Levy started to skate properly sliding her feet on the ice.

"Nice job, shrimpy." Gajeel grinned widely.

"Wait for me Lucy!" Natsu yelled. Lucy stopped and looked at him.

"Catch me if you can, Salamander!" Lucy giggled. Natsu charged towards her.

"I'm gonna!" He reached out his hand but slipped and fell on his stomach. Lucy giggled and bent down next to him.

"Come on." Lucy grabbed his hand and helped him up. "Like this." Lucy slid her feet one after the other. Natsu tried to copy her. "Yeah like that. You got it." Lucy held Natsu's hand as they skated across the ice. Natsu slowly moved his legs.

"Yeah, I think I got it!" Natsu laughed. "I can skate again!"

"Wow." Lucy rolled her eyes. All of a sudden she tripped and fell on top of Natsu. They slid across the ice like a sled and crashed into a snowy bank.

"Ow." Natsu rubbed his temples. Lucy rested her head on his chest and sighed.

"I am gonna die soon." She sighed. The others rushed to their side.

"Lu! Are you ok?" Levy asked worriedly.

"Almost killed yourself again, Salamander." Gajeel rolled his eyes. The two sat up.

"I think we should go home." Lucy said. Natsu helped her up.

"Agreed." He looked at the others. "Wanna join us?"

"Sure." Gray grinned. They walked over to Natsu's place. Natsu looked at the others and grinned evilly as they strolled through the park. He bent down and slowly grabbed a pile of snow. He mashed it into a snowball and looked around for someone to aim at. He eyed a certain navy blue-haired boy.

"Hey!" Gray yelled and turned to Natsu who was looking at him innocently.

"I totally did nothing." Natsu grinned.

"That's it!" Gray grabbed a wad of snow, mashed it furiously into a ball and threw it at Natsu. He ducked just in time but the snowball hit Lucy right on the face. Natsu froze in guilt. Lucy coughed and took a deep breath.

"You're going down, Fullbuster." She said quietly and threw a snowball and Gray.

"Count me in!" Gajeel chucked a snowball at Juvia who squealed when it hit her.

"Juvia will destroy you!" She screamed and hit Levy with a snowball.

"Juvia!" Levy tried to throw a snowball at Juvia but Gray accidently intervened.

"Levy ain't deadly." Gray roared. Soon Snowball War I began and all the soldiers fought hard with all their might. In the end, all the others sat on the snow shivering while one stood alone in triumph.

"AHAHHA! I deserve the victory after you all treated my unjustly." Gray laughed maniacally

"Bastard. I WILL AVENGE MYSELF!" Natsu weakly threw a snowball at Gray and sighed. "Let's go home." Natsu lifted a shivering cold Lucy off the ground and helped her back to the house. The others grudgingly followed them, even Gray who enjoyed staying outside. Natsu opened the front door with a slow shivering hand and they all tumbled into the house like dominos.

"J-J-J-J-Juvia i-i-is c-c-cold." Juvia shivered and lay on the floor and jumped on Gray's back. "Gray-sama warms Juvia." They all sat on the couch, completely exhausted from the snowball fight. Lucy snuggled up to Natsu.

"Hey you guys, I head Mira and Laxus got back together." Levy said as she plonked her small butt on Gajeel's lap.

"Aw, what happened to Justine?" Gajeel asked.

"Mr. Freed Justine turned out to be gay." Levy replied.

"Poor Mira." Juvia said solemnly.

"Poor Mr. Justine! Got dumped for being a gay teacher." Natsu laughed.

"You know there's nothing wrong with being gay." Lucy glared at Natsu.

"Yeah but he was straight and then he turned out to be gay." Natsu said while still laughing.

"Have some respect you evil bastard." Gray punched his arm. After the others left, Natsu went outside to get the mail. He was surprised to see there was a letter for Lucy.

"Hey Lucy, you've got mail." He said as he opened the door.

"Really? I never get mail!" Lucy tore open the envelope, but her expression changed to see it was from her father. Lucy slowly opened the letter.

"Dear Lucy.

I have killed myself. As you may know, we've lost all the money and I had to dismiss Olga. I was wandering around searching for you and I didn't even know where to start. So I sent this letter to the police office to try and find you and that's where I died. I know you may never forgive me for all the things I've done to you but this is a start.

I loved your mother so much. She was my everything, my stars, my moon, my sun. I was so delighted when she got pregnant with you, our daughter. But she got lung cancer and died. I was so devastated I took it all out on you. I hope you live a long and happy life without anyone holding back.

Lot's of love

Father.

Lucy bit her lip and fought back tears. Why was she crying for the guy who abused her for years? Natsu put his arms around her.

"What the matter?"

"My father killed himself. Because he thought if he did that, I'd be happier." She sobbed. "I don't know why I'm crying. He abused me for all these years but-"

"Hey. It's ok. It's ok." Natsu stroked her hair as she wept against his shoulder. "He killed himself for you. That's why." Lucy kept sobbing. It felt like her tears were a never ending waterfall. Now both of her parents were dead. Natsu pulled away from the hug.

"You want some time alone?" Natsu asked. Lucy shook her head.

"Please stay. I want some company." Lucy slumped herself in his arms and cried as he rubbed circles on her back. "I still don't know why I'm crying."

"That's ok." Natsu said. That night, Lucy couldn't sleep. She kept thinking of her parents. They were both in heaven, together again. Lucy always thought she'd be the first one out of both of them to die. She adjusted the cannula on her nose and looked at her phone, it was two a.m. in the morning and she was still wide awake. Natsu slowly peered into her room.

"You seem to have a knack of knowing whether I'm asleep or not." Lucy said quietly. Natsu smiled.

"I just wanna make sure you're ok. I know you're upset about your father's death." Natsu said quietly.

"Can you please accompany me tonight?" Lucy asked. Natsu nodded and climbed into bed next to her. He wrapped his arms around poor Lucy's cold body while she buried her face into his warm chest. He was her sun, her moon, her stars. Natsu stroked her hair while he felt her breathing in and out on his chest.
