With them hooking up, Natsu and Lucy used sex to hide their pain... but what will happen when one of them decides to stop running, and finally comes out to the world on a talk show, revealing her emotional baggage?

Lucy Heartfilia was a single mother of a three year old boy. Between her new job and raising her son by herself, she had no time for anything else, especially finding love. That is until Lucy finds herself having a crush on local firefighter Natsu Dragneel... who also happened to be her son's soccer coach. Nothing awkward about this situation, right?

During a time of great sorrow for the Heartfilia family, a religious cult takes interest in their daughter. Their kindhearted approaches quickly turn malicious, and with no one else to turn to, Lucy is forced to rely on a group of four boys she'd met by chance on a rainy night three years ago, each of the boys carrying their own baggage as they come to her rescue. Eventual Nalu

Her life always turns the way she wanted it to, until someone special, for whom she was eagerly waiting appears but, will it be easy for her to attract his attention.
