As much as Lucy might complain about her fellow guildmates, never, not once, did she ever regret meeting Natsu and Happy that fateful day in Hargeon. And never ever did she regret joining Fairy Tail. And she never thought she had ever shown any dissatisfaction with her decision to join Fairy Tail.
So when Natsu asked her -the night after Eclipse was sealed shut, after Future Rogue had been defeated, after… she had died- if she regretted joining the guild, she was dumbfounded.
She loved her life. She loved how, for the first time ever, she felt like she was a part of one big happy family. She loved going on adventures, the thrill of taking a new job from the request board- the pay wasn't bad either. She loved knowing how much stronger she had gotten since joining Fairy Tail- mentally, physically and magically. She loved her friends.
She even loved the fights that broke out in the guild hall, though she might sometimes fear for her own life. Even if it was annoying, she felt at home when Natsu and Gray were fighting, and she could always count on Erza to break up their arguments with a well-placed bash to the head. And she had to admit, home never felt like home unless Natsu and Happy were barging in uninvited. There was not one thing that she didn't love about Fairy Tail.
Sure, there were some dangerous situations that came with being in a guild, and it pained her to see her friends getting hurt. But through all the pain and suffering, she never doubted that they would make it through whatever it was that was their adversary.
So, 'no'. Her answer was 'no'. No, she didn't regret joining Fairy Tail. Not one bit. That would be like asking if she regretted being born. Her answer was on her tongue immediately. But she hesitated. And in that moment of hesitation, a flicker of doubt passed over Natsu. And Lucy wanted nothing more than to quench that doubt. Because she loved Fairy Tail, and she loved him.
A/N: Yooooooo whassup? Thewhiteasianfangirl here with a short little FT drabble. I don't know why I wrote this. I just felt like it. It's happy in a melancholic way… that probably didn't make sense. I'm not even bothering to proofread this because I'm literally writing this while sitting through a rehearsal, so I can't say that any of this will make sense. Oh well? Also, waiting for the next FT chapter is like ARRRGHHHH :)
