Summary:She is the stars to his fire- originally one of my entries for Nalu-fluff-week 2017 on a previous account. Hoping to have it resubmitted for this year.
A/N: Hey peeps, it's your girl MillenialStarGazer (millennial-star-gazer) back again! This time it's with an entry for nalu-fluff week 2019. I originally entered this Nalu inspired lyric/poetry piece for Nalu love fest back in 2014, (under my teamedwardjace/twishadowhunter alias) and for fluff week 2017 on my deactivated celestialgeekmage account after further revisions. Now, I'm hoping to resubmit it again for this year's fluff week. Anyway hope you enjoy, and don't forget to check out my the rest of my writing!
Disclaimer: I swear I don't own the rights to Fairytail, though if I did Natsu would have (consensually) kissed Lucy senseless with wild abandon by now . (But hey, they did officially become canon - if not already before- just not in a way some were expecting, so bonus!)

1. Do you remember the day when we first met?
I swear it was fate for our paths to cross
Thought you were strange, but I liked you anyway
You showed me kindness when I was down an my luck that day
(A/N: Reference to first few episodes)
Pre-chorus
Now here we are, we've come such a long way.
Follow me and I promise to see you through
Chorus
You are the stars and I am the fire
(reference to Lucy being a celestial wizard and Natsu being a fire dragon slayer)
You and I- We were always meant to collide
You are my best friend ,
The one who will always hold a special place in my heart
Hope you know that I'll be always be here for you
To catch you when you fall
(Reference to all the times Natsu catches Lucy)
To be the one to hold you, to dry your tears late at night
I'll protect you from the demons in the world, keep them at bay, fight by your side
That's how much you mean to me
So take my hand and we will take on this world together
2. Do you recall that day, the battle of our lives?
You were trembling, terrified out of your mind
(Reference to the epic battle with Hades during the Tenrou arc)
I'll never forget, the image imprinted on my mind
Believe me, I was afraid too
But then I found courage in your resolve
Do you remember the time you wanted to give up?
You were crying, tears flowing like cascading rain
Till I held your hand in mine
You found the strength to pull through
(Reference to that iconic Nalu moment in episode 122)
Prechorus
Your smile, your laughter, they light up my life
When you're grieving, I'll be the one to dry your tears fall late at night
till' you see the sun shine again
Hope you know I'm always here for you
Never forget how much I care for you
Chorus
3. Come with me and we will take on this world together
So glad to have you in my life
Never forget how much I care for you
Come what may, hell or high water ,
whatever lies on the road ahead of us, we will face together
I will shelter you from the storm, will protect the future for us to we go on more adventures together
(Reference to Grand Magic Games Arc)
I will always be there to smile and laugh with you, to stand by your side
Never forget how much I care for you
Chorus (x3)
A/N: Just to clarify the other A/N:s throughout are to make the lyrics more accessible to readers who may have difficulties understanding the meaning behind certain metaphors for a variety of reasons (including those with disabilities or anyone who has just gotten into Fairytail which is by no means to insult their intelligence at all). Not to mention, it would be far too tedious to explain it all in the final author note. Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
