Lucy POV

Today was the day Natsu goes against my brother Sting in boxing. I was going to stay in Magnolia with Elizabeth and just watch her, but Natsu wanted us to come to watch him fight. I honestly didn't want to watch my brother fight my boyfriend because there is going to be drama after the fight. But for the sake of it, I am going to support my brother and boyfriend.

Sting had told me our parents were coming to see him fight since they were in the area. My parents are constantly always traveling around the world since we're rich. They've asked me and Sting a couple of times if we wanted to come, but most of the time Sting and I are busy with work or training. We barely get to spend time with them which is why when I told my mom I had a day off she rushed right over to come to spend time with me. This is why we spent time at the Spring Festival in Magnolia.

My mom doesn't have a soft spot for Natsu like she did before. I don't think she ever met him before, but she has heard about him from me and his parents since she and my dad communicate with them about business.

Ever since she saw Natsu and Lisanna kiss at the festival along with me running away crying in tears from the scene, she hasn't been too happy about that. My mom is like the nicest person you will ever meet and she is that type of person who will let it go, but she won't forget it ever happened. She wasn't comfortable with me dating Natsu again, but she was going to let me decide what I wanted.

I wasn't comfortable going out with Natsu right away because I wanted him and the Lisanna drama to be over. He's been holding a grudge against her ever since she left and it kinda made me wonder if he was still in love with her. I thought at first she had got over Natsu but turns out I was wrong about both of them. She was the one that was still in love with him while he was already over her. I guess he still held a grudge against her because of Elizabeth. I know Natsu doesn't want to see Elizabeth heartbroken because that's his daughter and I don't think any father would want to see their daughter go through something like that.

My dad was the same way when it came to me. He may have been cold-hearted at times but he never wanted to see me in pain. So now I understand why Natsu never wanted Lisanna to come back into Elizabeth's life. He just doesn't want to see her get hurt again.

While Natsu and Sting were getting ready in the back I was sitting in the audience with Elizabeth. We were in the front where we can see everything and get a close-up. Natsu's parents were right by us in the front while my parents were on the other side along with Yukino and Crystal. They didn't mind me sitting here since they knew I had to watch Elizabeth. Igneel and Grandeeney were offering to watch her, but I didn't mind staying here.

I don't know if I want to cheer for both of them or just quietly sit there. Elizabeth had snapped me out of my thoughts when she asked: "Lucy who do you think is going to win?" she asked me. "I don't know, sometimes these fights are unpredictable, " I answered. "I think my dad is going to win because he is pretty quick and hits hard and fast. I will admit the Great Sting Eucliff is not bad with agility, but he doesn't fully understand as my dad does. Plus whenever he is hitting at his opponents he doesn't hit hard enough to have them on their back like my dad does or like the other fighters. So it is pretty obvious who is going to win, " she explained.

I never knew a 7-year-old could know the game like that. I can see why every time she gets into a fight she wins all the time. "Oh wow, I never thought of it like that," I lied. "It's okay Lucy, I understand he is your brother and my dad is your boyfriend, so you don't want to choose sides," she smiled.

"Yeah, you can say that," I told her. "Wait, so do you know my dad is going to win and your brother is going to lose?" Elizabeth asked. I swear she is just like Natsu when it comes to having no filter. "Elizabeth don't be rude!" Grandeeney warned. "Sorry Lucy," she said. "It's okay," I told her. I was a little offended, but I wasn't going to hold a grudge. I can't call out someone on something when they are right about it.

The speaker had come on and they were welcoming people and talking about Natsu and Sting's description. I already knew everything and the speaker dramatically said:" You all know him as quick feet here is The Great Sting Eucliff!" and out came, my brother.

The crowd started to cheer loud for my brother. I started to cheer too because that's my brother and I'm going to cheer for him. He was in the ring and looked ready to fight in his blue shorts.

"Next we have the fire and the dragon, here comes Salamander!" the speaker dramatically said. Natsu came out and the crowd started going wild. He enters the ring and he had on his black shorts. I always thought he wore just red but he looks good in black. Natsu looked like he was ready to fight too. Sting and Natsu had come face to each other and were looking at each other like they were ready to fight.

"I can't wait to see who wins, " she smugged. She looked directly at Crystal who was glaring at her. She glared back, but I felt like something was going on between them. "Elizabeth, why don't you get along with Crystal-like you get along with the other fighters' daughters?" I asked her. She gets along with Jellal, Gajeel, Rogue, and even Grays's daughter.

While Natsu and Gray may be the best or worst of frenemies their daughters are literally the best of friends. She even got along with Silhouette after the whole thing. Just for some reason she and Crystal don't get along. They act almost just alike. Now that I think about it that might be part of the problem. Considering there both competitive, which explains a lot.

I look up to see the fight had already started. Natsu and Sting were both just moving around in the ring not taking a hit at each other. Sting had moved in and launched his fist at Natsu who had dodged. This went on for a couple of minutes until Sting hit Natsu. I will admit Sting is pretty fast, but when it comes to him hitting hard enough to put someone on their back he's not the best at it. Along with the other fighters in this lead. The only fighters who hit hard are Acnologia, Gajeel, Laxus, Gray, and Natsu. Those are the ones that I see hit hard, especially Acnologia and he is the oldest one in the lead. He should be retired from fighting, but he isn't.

Boxers that were fighting when he was were all in their 20's and they've retired in their thirties and are training boxers like Natsu and the others. Like Guildarts use to box around the time Acnologia boxed and he retired in his early 30's mostly because the doctors said he wouldn't be able to do it just because of some injuries he had in his career. Sadly, he was ranked second in the lead.

The first round was over and both of them looked pretty beat up. Both must have been moving around a lot that first round. Natsu kinda looked tired, but at the same time, he looked ready. My brother was also tired but looked like he could last longer. Somebody ring the bell for them to get back from their small break.

Sting and Natsu both got back up and started to move around again. Sting closed in on the space and started to get a couple of hits in until he swung at Natsu. Natsu had dodged and swung back at Sting who had fallen on the ground. The crowd started to countdown until Sting got right back up. The referee had to hold Natsu back until Sting got up just to make sure he wouldn't hit him right away. After the referee moved out of the way for the two to continue fighting they both kept taking hits at each other.

There was even at one point Sting almost had put Natsu on the ground. Natsu had held himself up so he wouldn't lose his balance, instead of getting knocked to the ground. He was in the corner, Sting closed in the space so he wouldn't be able to get out and Natsu held his arms up in front of him knowing he wasn't going to move in time. Sting at first was going up until he went for his ribs. Natsu had to try and get a hit on Sting, but Sting knocked him down to the ground. Natsu stayed there trying to catch his breath and got right back up.

The time was about to be up but I saw them moving around again trying to find an opening on each other and Sting came at him, but Natsu swung at Sting and put him on his back. That hit seemed like it hurt! The countdown and Sting weren't getting up anytime soon.

The bell ringed and the fight was over. People started closing in on them and I look to see Elizabeth cheering for Natsu. She really was her dad's #1 fan. She even had Salamander the Fire Dragon on her pink shirt she was wearing. Which makes me wonder where she got it from?

I stand up getting Elizabeth ready. I looked up to see Sting and Natsu gave each other a quick hug, I guess a meaning as respect. That made me smile knowing they had a friendly match. Sting walked towards Yukino and Crystal who were cheering for him. Yukino smiled and Sting picked up Crystal. Elizabeth ran over to Natsu who had picked her up too. That looks so cute, kawaii!

This kinda makes me want to have a family. I want to be married and have kids with my lover. Knowing Natsu, he seems like he isn't ready to have another kid or commit like that. He might be but we're going to bumps in our relationship. Natsu looked at me and smiled and gave me a gesture to come over. I just hope it's worth it with him, I don't want to grow old and be alone. I walked over to him trying to get through everybody so I can get with him. He hugged me and kissed me on the lips and smiled. I smiled back at him and felt my face heat up.
