It was a cold and starry New Year's Eve,
Fairy tail was partying like you can not believe!
Warmth spread from the guild's blazing fire place,
food and drinks were devoured, vanishing without a trace.
Grey undressed as his mood did rise.
Cana drank her beer in gulps of unladylike size.
Mira was conspiring, coming up with some sort of plan,
while Elfman shouted at Gajeel: "Just like a true man!"
Lucy laughed as her smallest spirit danced upon the table,
the tiny white doggie shakin' his butt like something out of a fable.
The entire guild was moving, eating, dancing, in complete uproar,
when a certain dragon slayer burst through the front door.
Natsu faced a problem he could no longer deny,
he had fallen for his friend, his female partner and ally.
His cheeks burnt as he watched her play and laugh with their fellow friends,
his heart was racing, pulse rising, mind spinning out of all sense.
"Natsu, come on! What are you waiting for?"
Happy asked as he followed his friend through the door.
"It's time to act, it's almost the new year!"
The blue cat yelled at the boy who stood frozen in fear.
"I dunno, Happy, let's just go home instead..."
Natsu mumbled before paralysis reached his head.
"No!" Happy yelled. "This is one thing I must not miss!"
"It's time to show your love, prove it with a kiss!"
"Natsu! Happy!" a smiling stellar mage called over the constant noise,
"Where have you two been? We've missed our favorite boys!"
"Lucy!" the exceed smiled. "Natsu's got something he wants to say-"
"Happy!" the dragon slayer gasped, pushing his blue friend down and away.
"Natsu?" the blond asked in doubt and disbelief,
"It's nothing!" he promised with a grin and Lucy sighed in relief.
"Phew," the blond smiled. "For a minute there I thought you would confess!"
"Haha!" Natsu chuckled nervously, trying not to stare at the cleavage in her dress.
"Come on!" Lucy said, taking the dragon slayer's hand.
"Mira's cooked some tasty food and you've gotta see the dessert stand!"
"Yeah," Natsu agreed as Lucy pulled him away.
"I guess a few drinks and some food is the perfect ending to this day..."
The evening came and went faster than a bird as winter fall.
Midnight creeped upon them and Natsu dared do nothing at all.
He watched her laugh and envied her carefree smiles,
every time she touched him he felt like he'd been running for miles.
Sweat dripped down his face, leaving wet traces of confession.
Man, this love-thing was tough, harder than any fighting session!
"Right Natsu?" Lucy said, blinking at him with a playful smile.
"Huh?" the dragon slayer hummed, he hadn't been listening for quite a while.
"You ok?" the stellar mage asked. "You look like you've caught a bad cold."
"I'm fine!" he huffed annoyed. "It's just, this party's getting old."
Before Lucy could complain Natsu stood up to leave his friends.
"Come on!" Lucy cried in sudden desperation. "You can't leave before the party ends!"
"Natsu, if you leave now, who am I gonna kiss at twelve o'clock?"
"Wh-what?!" Natsu questioned, words failing, stuttering in shock.
"If you leave now," the blond repeated. "Who will share my New Year's kiss?"
"Lucy, are you drunk?" the dragon slayer asked. "What kinda joke is this?"
"You don't have to!" Lucy hurried to explain. "It's just that Mira helped decide my New Year's resolution."
"And she ordered you a kiss?" Natsu asked out loud, his head spinning in confusion.
"No," the stellar mage said. "We promised to face our worst fears."
"And that's to kiss me?" Natsu spat as he dared not believe the words that reached his ears.
"Well..." Lucy sighed, watching her feet. "When you say it like that it sounds really bad."
"It's just that we're such good friends," she continued. "Loosing you would make me sad."
"So that-" Natsu asked confused. "That is your worst fear?"
"Yeah," Lucy nodded. "To come into the guild and realize you are not here."
"Then I guess," Natsu smiled. "It is better if I stay."
"Yes," Lucy said, ignoring the taunting shouts coming from Grey.
"They liiiiiike each other," Happy purred as Natsu pulled Lucy into his warm embrace.
"G-g-g-good for you!" Erza mumbled, the color rising on her face.
"Manly!" Elfman cried as the final countdown began.
"Yay!" Juvia cheered. "No more love rival, stealing my man!"
"Five!" Makarov yelled at the top of his lungs, counting in the new year.
"Four!" everyone joined in as the big moment drew near.
"Three!" the champagne flowed, glasses rising in the air.
"Two!" people were hugging now, all around our favorite pair.
"One!" the newfound lovers crashed their lips in warm and tender bliss.
"Happy New Year!" all cheered, while two friends enjoyed their first kiss.
