Lucy P.O.V.

When we got there, we parked next to each other. We got out of our cars and went to go inside. Natsu opened the door for me.

"After you," he said in a joking voice.

"Well thank you kind sir," I joked back.

We both smiled and went to go to the cashier.

"Hello, I would like to have a chicken croissant sandwich, a philly cheese sandwich, a beef stew noodle soup, and an Americano," Natsu ordered.

I smiled, knowing he eats a lot.

"Lucy, what do you want?" Natsu asked me.

I told the cashier, "I would like a chocolate croissant and a caramel macchiato."

"That would be twenty-two dollars and twenty-two cents," the cashier stated.

My eyes got wide as I heard the total cost.

"Here you go," Natsu said as he gave the cashier the money.

The cashier gave us the receipt and we then went to sit at a table.

"Thanks for paying Natsu, but I could've paid for my stuff, so it wouldn't be that expensive," I told him.

"No, it's okay Luce. I wanted to. I also wanted to be a gentleman," he insisted and gave me a wink.

I felt myself blush a little.

"Well, I really appreciated it," I replied.

"Number twenty-three!" the cashier shouted.

"Oh, that's us," Natsu informed me as he got up to get our order.

For the next hour, we were eating and talking about all kinds of stuff.

Natsu P.O.V.

"Hey Luce, do you want to come over to my house?" I questioned her.

"Sure. I would love to," Lucy said as her eyes lit up.

I never really notice how beautiful her chocolate brown eyes are. When they lit up, my heart beat a little faster. We got up and left the café.


Outside, the sun was about to set. The sky looked magnificent with the dark blue, purple, pink, orange, red, and yellow colors. Lucy and I departed and headed to my house. I leaned against my car as I waited for Lucy. A few more minutes passed, and she drove up to my driveway to park. She got out and greeted me.

"Alright, let's go inside," I said. I started walking towards my door.

"Okay, I have to get something out of my car first!" Lucy called out.

Lucy P.O.V.

When I heard Natsu's footsteps descend, I took out his gift from my car. I went inside his house and found him sitting on his couch. He noticed me and I saw him eye the gift and asked, "Who is that for?"

"Who do you think it's for, you idiot," I sarcastically responded then handed the gift to Natsu.

He took it and swiftly pulled out the tissue paper. And there it was; the smile that makes my heart flutter and makes me feel happy.

"Don't forget to read the card," I reminded him. He took it out and read it.

"Wow Luce! Thanks for all this. Looks like my stomach is going to be happy later," Natsu exclaimed.

I giggled. "Look at the bottom," I directed him.

He searched the bottom of the bag and pulled out the wrapped item. I watched him open it and look at it admiringly. He felt the scarf and fingered the dragon design. His smile was even brighter and wider as he put the scarf around his neck. He still had his other scarf on.

"Thank you so much, Luce! You are so amazing and cool," he gratefully said as he gave me a hug.

"You're welcome. I just wanted to thank you for being helpful and nice to me when you let me borrow your shirt," I admitted as I felt my cheeks warm up.

His arms were still around my waist, as my arms were still around his neck. We embraced for a little too long, and I guess Natsu sensed it, so he ended it.

"Oh, I have something for you too. Wait here," he told me and then dashed off to his room.

I saw him bring out a bag and what I guess is a wrapped poster stick. I smiled as he gave it to me and I quickly opened the poster first. I could tell it was a Smiths poster, since there was a label sticker on the end stating that. Moving on to the gift bag, I took out the tissue paper.

"Wow, I'm impressed on how you wrapped the poster and got the gift together. How did you manage to do that," I mused.

"Actually, Levy did that. I asked her to come over and help me," Natsu revealed as he nervously scratched the back of his neck, which I thought was cute.

I grinned as I took out the pins and mug.

"Thanks Natsu! I can't wait to use the mug and wear the pins. You are too kind to me," I told him.

"Read the letter," was all he said.

I nodded and took it out of the bag.


a/n: sorry this is short, but if i kept it to what i originally wanted, it would be long and then the last chapter would be really short. so i had to divide it a little. i have one chapter left and i'm sad but also excited since i will be done with my first story! i am working on a one-shot (it actually contains a lemon *blushes*) but i'm not sure if i should publish it after this story. should i wait till i become a better writer to work on it more, or will it be alright that i publish it after this story? i'm actually coping better now (if any of you are wondering, probs not tho). bye guys, and thanks for reading. :)
