New chapter! Sorry about the cliffhanger! Sadly, I do not own Fairy tail nor any of its characters(dreams crushed by myself)

NATSU POV

Is now the right time to tell her? Or will it ruin the journey?

"Ummm Lucy..."

"Yes, Natsu?"

Oh crap! Should I tell her ? I don't know how long I'll be able to keep this up. I have to tell her...but I can't.

"YOUR TOWEL...your towel uh .. has fallen off."

(A/N: ooh and you thought he was going to confess. Sorry! but the show must go on! :p)

"Oh God. Turn around! Please!" Lucy face had turned bright red at the thought of me hugging her, whilst she was naked. I am not going to lie, it did not mind it at all.

"Can I turn 'round now?" I said scratching the back of my head, slightly blushing at the previous sight.

"Yes, yes you can." Lucy sighed putting on a jacket.

"Why are you wearing a jacket Lucy? It's not cold in here, is it?"

"No, I am going for a walk."

"Let me come with you, please it's the least I can do."

"I was going to invite you anyway, so there is no need for the sad face." She giggled and I stuck my tongue out at her like a child.

We went to the nearby park and walked around, looking at what this side of town had to offer. It was pretty boring but Lucy seemed to enjoy it. Then I did something I never expected to do. It was just a heat of the moment decision. I grabbed her hand and intertwined my fingers with hers. She looked over at me, Brown eyes glowing with shock.

"Natsu..?"

"Sorry I just wanted to hold your hand. I can let go if you want."

"No, it's fine. Just shocked me is all." She said flashing her biggest smile at me, clearly trying to imitate me. Her hand felt so soft and warm. Not like the warmth I felt after digesting fire. No this warmth spreads through my body, making me feel secure next to her. This is another scenario that would be good for me to confess to her... but no. (A/N ha! Don't worry it's coming soon.)

"We should head back, it's getting dark out."

"Okay Natsu let's go"

When we returned to our room I was exhausted. Who knew walking around a park for a couple hours could tire a dragon slayer this much. I crawled straight into bed without hesitation whereas Lucy sat at the desk, writing in her journal. She loved writing down every little detail down in that book. I loved watching her write. It was somehow, fascinating to me. I watched her for about 10 minutes when she looked up at me, smirking.

"What?"

"Oh nothing, Natsu just reminiscing about today's antics"

"Why are you smiling like that?"

"Because I can't wait for what's in store for tomorrow!

"Oh okay! Well you better get excited."

She smiled again and then closed the diary before getting into bed. We were sharing a bed as the only room left available was a single bed or this one. I wouldn't have minded sleeping on the floor in the single room and saving a few bucks but I wanted to sleep next to Lucy. She curled up in a ball next to me like a little cat which made me smile lazily . It also made me think of Happy and the others back at the guild. I kinda missed them, even Gray. I lay there awake, thinking about anything and everything that made me happy. Most of my thoughts involved Lucy, obviously. She was always there, she always is. She is the main reason I smile. The reason I wake up in the morning. I glance over at the ball of blanket beside me and place my hand on her head, stroking her silky, blonde hair. She was so peaceful when she slept.

"My Lucy... Gray helped me realise a while back that I liked... No loved you. I hope that soon enough I can buck up the courage to tell you but for now I'll just enjoy our time together."

I felt a slight tremble underneath my hand and as I looked down I saw 2 big brown eyes staring up at me, filled with tears.

"Natsu...?"

There you go, you finally got the confession! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review!
