Lucy's POV

Well, I was in distress to say the least; today was Valentine's Day, and as usual, I had no boyfriend to share it with. This had never been a problem for me before seeing as I had never really liked anyone, but now there was Natsu and the whole mess of jumbled feelings inside. Did I want to spend Valentine's Day with Natsu? Yes! Was I a delusional idiot for thinking that? Also yes; while things were going better with Natsu and I, we were still just friends and it was starting to seem that is all we will ever be. I mean sure he almost kissed me but it actually didn't happen and nothing like that had happened since. Any feelings Natsu would've had for me are obviously gone and now I'm just tormenting myself longing for him.

I became very irritated as I heard a knocking echo from upstairs, "Who the hell is here at nine in the morning on a Sunday?" I wondered aloud as I walked up the stairs to the door.

My mood did not get any better as I opened the door to reveal Akuma, who was staring at me with a ridiculous grin, "What do you want?" I asked a bit harshly.

Akuma ignored it, "I brought you some chocolates! Happy Valentine's Day!" I groaned as his perky voice was giving me a headache.

"Akuma, how many times do I need to tell you that I like Natsu? And also I'm still mad at you for planting one on me the last time you were here," I snapped, causing Akuma to step back a bit.

Akuma sighed, "Sorry about that… but I can't help how I feel about you Lucy! I know we just met but I knew from the moment I laid my eyes on you that we were meant to be," he said, his eyes shining as he smiled widely at me.

"We are most definitely not," I crossed my arms as I fired back my sharp retort.

When Akuma said nothing, I sighed, "Just go home," I said, and I shut the door before the purple haired boy could protest. Yes, I was being very harsh to Akuma, but I knew he wouldn't quit pursuing me so I was hoping if I started being cold to him that he'd eventually give up.

"Oh Natsu… I wish that would've been you," I whispered softly as my heart raced at the thought of Natsu showing up at my door with chocolates and a confession.

As fate does, there was another knocking on my door, "Akuma I swear to god if you ar-," but I was cut off as the door opened to reveal not Akuma, but Natsu.

"Oh, hey!" I said, stepping aside so he could enter.

"What's up? You seem irritated," he stated, seeing right through my sudden mood change.

"Oh it was just stuff with Akuma; he showed up with a confession and some Valentine's chocolates but I turned him down," I said, and I felt confused as I saw Natsu's eyes fill with both surprise and what appeared to be a sense of pleasure.

"Really? I would've thought you and Akuma had a thing," Natsu stated.

I shook my head, "No, he likes me but I only see him as a friend," I said, and I saw Natsu's uncomfortable demeanor relax a bit.

"So what're you doing here? Not that I don't mind your company," I said.

"I was wondering since we both don't have anyone to spend Valentine's Day with if maybe you wanted to go do something with me?" Natsu rubbed the back of his neck.

My cheeks heated a bit, "S-sure!" I said, more flustered that it needed to be.

"Sweet," Natsu said, giving me one of his adorable toothy grins that I had come to love.

"So what were you thinking?" I asked, giving Natsu a quizzical look.

He shrugged, "I figured we could go to a movie or grab a bite to eat or something along those lines," he said.

"Some food actually does sound good; there is this awesome pancake house a few blocks away, do you want to go grab some breakfast there?" I asked.

His pink hair bobbed as he nodded, "Sounds good," Natsu smiled, causing my cheeks to heat again. Sometimes I hated that Natsu had this kind of effect on me.

"Let's go!" I exclaimed, grabbing his hand and leading him out the house. Let's just say food makes me excited, especially pancakes. As we walked, I realized that we were still holding hands, but Natsu didn't seem to care so I didn't pull away.

"So have you ever had a boyfriend on Valentine's Day?" Natsu asked, his hand still entwined with mine.

I nodded, "Once in middle school I had relationship with this guy but it wasn't too serious so I doubt it counts," Natsu chuckled a bit, "what about you? Any girlfriends?"

"I spent one with Lisanna but that's pretty much it; I think it's a bit of an overrated holiday unless you have someone really cool to share it with," he said, gesturing to our entwined hands. My cheeks immediately flared and I had to look away because if I kept staring at his cute smirk I'd probably pass out.

"This is nice," Natsu said, causing me to turn back and look at him.

"What is?" I asked.

The pinkette gave me another cute smirk, "Spending the day with you," my cheeks flushed and I had to use my free hand to cover my mouth to prevent myself from squealing. Natsu was a man of little words but today his words had bordered on romantic and it was making my heart soar. Was it possible that Natsu felt the same way I did? Hopefully today would give me a sign or an answer.

"Yeah it is," I said, smiling as our hands were still connected. We spent the rest of the walk in silence, our hands still locked together as neither one of us seemed to want to let go. I didn't care; I was the happiest I had ever been in a while. Just being around Natsu made my day and filled me with a warm feeling inside.

When we arrived, Natsu's eyes filled with wonder as he saw enormous stacks of pancakes that people were eating inside, "This looks incredible," he marveled.

"I figured you'd like it," I said, earning me another cute smile from the pink haired heartthrob.

"Well you know me well then," he said, leading me inside. Our hands finally separated as we walked up to the counter where we waited to be seated, and I smiled inside as I could still feel his hand on mine.

"Right this way," the hostess said, and she led us to a booth in the back, noticeably away from the other customers.

"Your server should be with you momentarily," she said and she stalked off back to the front.

"What do you usually get here?" Natsu asked, his onyx eyes concentrating hard on me. He always was serious about food.

"I usually get the double chocolate chip pancakes and a big side of bacon; although I do sometimes get the biscuits and gravy plate with sausage," I said, pointing to the two items on the menu.

"Well I'm having whatever you're having," my cheeks heated as Natsu smiled at me again.

"I think the biscuits sound good today," I said, my mouth watering at the thought of the food as their gravy here was really delicious.

"Sounds good," Natsu replied.

Soon, our server appeared, and I smiled as I recognized it was Mirajane, "Hey guys! Welcome! What can I get you guys started to drink?" she asked, giving us one of her signature sweet smiles.

"Hey Mira, I'll take a coffee," Natsu said, and she nodded as she quickly scribbled it down.

"I'll take a strawberry lemonade," I said after she had finished scribbling down Natsu's coffee order.

"Sure thing! I'll be right back with those," she exclaimed before bouncing off to go make our drinks.

"She's super bubbly today," I noticed as she skipped away.

"Probably has a date planned with Laxus later, she usually gets bubbly before she sees him," Natsu explained.

"That's so sweet!" I marveled. I wish I could have that with Natsu.

Soon Mirajane was back with our drinks, "Are you guys ready to order?" she asked as she whipped out her notepad.

"Yeah, can we get two orders of the biscuits and gravy plate with sides of sausage links?" I asked.

"Great choice! I'll go put those in and bring them out when they're done!" she said as she finished jotting our order down. Grabbing our menus, she disappeared to the back of the restaurant again.

"Sometimes I wish I could be that perky in the mornings," I said, twirling my straw around in my drink.

"Don't we all," I giggled as Natsu replied. All I could do in the moment was admire his features; the way he smirked when he spoke or how his hair parted in just the right way that it made him ten times more attractive than he already was. How did I ever find someone this perfect?

"What're you staring at?" Natsu eyed me as I stared at him, completely lost in his complete and utter beautifulness.

"Am I too hot for ya or something?" he asked, smirking at me.

My cheeks flushed, "I n-never sa-," but he cut me off by putting a finger to my lips.

"It's alright, I think you're pretty cute too," he said, winking at me. My cheeks flushed even more. Natsu thinks I'm cute?! SCORE! Both of us didn't speak after that and ate our meal in silence, both wrapped up inside our own minds.

Soon the meal was over, "I've got it," Natsu said as I began fishing in my purse for my wallet.

"Are you sure?" I asked as he handed money to the cashier.

"Yeah, I mean you bought me ice cream and some other stuff so I've got this one," Natsu said as he took the change from the cashier.

"Well, thank you," I smiled at him as we exited the restaurant.

"Anything for my girl," he said. His girl? Did Natsu just call me his girl?

"Well what do you want to do now?" I asked as we walked back towards my house.

"I've actually got something I need to go do; but I'll come pick you up later and take you somewhere special," he said, and before I could say anything, he planted a soft kiss on my cheek which caused my cheeks to flare. All I could do was stand there like a dumbstruck idiot as Natsu walked off.

As soon as Natsu was out of earshot, I threw my hands up in the air, "FUCK YEAH!" I shouted as loud as I could. Natsu liked me! I could just tell! Things were finally going my way.
