*~Wendy POV~*

It was January twenty seventh, I think. It had been heavily snowing for almost three days and most of my guildmates had decided to stay at the guild hall. I wanted to be at home that day and maybe catch up on some reading, so Carla left without me. I sat on my bed, drinking hot cocoa and reading the second book in the Lunar Chronicles. Levy had gotten Lucy, Yukino, Erza, and myself hooked on the series.

Twenty-Six

The underground platform was well lit and filled with androids and hovering carts ready to unload the trains cargo. Scarlet followed Wolf into the shadows of anothet freight train.They waited until an android turned away before crawling up onto the pla-

My door was suddenly busted down and I threw the book at the intruder, in fear. My mind couldn't process who would break down a door at the time. I was sure I was going to get kidnapped or something. If I were to use magic, Erza might've kicked me out of Fairy Hills for damaged property.

"Scarlet?" A voice that was all too familiar sounded as I tried to keep my breathing to a minimum. "Is it like a biography of Erza?"

Natsu stepped into the light and I noticed he wasn't wearing any snow clothes other than his scarf. I looked out the window and it was basically a blizzard happening outside. I didn't question why he was in Fairy Hills. He never really listened to the no-boys rule anyways.

"Natsu-san! Why don't you have anything warm?! It's snowing outside!" I was alarmed by his choice of clothing to say the least. It was even cold in Fairy Hills! The heat was turned on full blast, I had at least three electric heaters turned on, and I was wrapped up in the warmest cover I had. I was tempted to put on earmuffs, but decided against it.

"I'm a fire wizard, Wendy. I don't get cold or sick." I sighed at how stubborn he was. "It's hot in here."

"And it's cold out there." I laughed. "So, what do you need?"

"You." He spoke with absolute seriousness in his voice making me blush. I hoped he thought my flush was because of the heat generating in the room. Natsu took steps closer to me and I ended up leaning against my headboard. He was inches away from my face and I was overwhelmed by his scent.

Burning fire and charcoal...

"That's right. I need you Wendy.." He got closer to me if possible before looking me dead in the eyes. I wanted to look away, but every time I did, it was like his dark eyes kept pulling me back in.

'Do I like Natsu-san...? It is a possibility... What do I do?! I've never liked someone before!'

"To help me clear my walkway." He suddenly pulled away and grinned. I let out a breath I didn't know I was keeping in.

"The snow is way too heavy outside. I figured that I could melt half of it with my fire magic and you could blow the rest away with yours." I was still trying to get over what had just happened, so I nodded my head yes unconsciously. His grin only got wider and that's when I realized what I had done.

'Oh well. I needed to get up anyway.'

I got out of bed, but I was still in my blue pajamas. I didn't really care what kind of attire I wore right then, so I just put my coat on along with a scarf, earmuffs, a hat, boots, and thick gloves. I looked at myself in the mirror and surprisingly I looked okay in all of these layers.

"Alright. Let's go Natsu-san." I smiled and he dragged me outside. I was hit with waves of cold and thought I didn't wear enough clothes. I barely got anywhere with all of the snow on the ground, let alone the snow flying in my face. I couldn't see nor move and I almost went back inside. Natsu put me on top of his shoulders and I felt bad for having him carry me to his house. He had no problem walking as he just melted the snow into water.

"Natsu-san!" I had to shout over the wind and snow howling in our ears. "You don't have to carry me! I'll be fine!"

"No you won't Wendy! It's three and a half feet snow! You're not even Levy's height! Besides, we're already there!" I didn't even notice that we were already at his house. But he did have a good point. I wasn't too tall and the snow almost sucked me in.

"Let's get you inside and warmed up." Natsu didn't wait for my reply as he opened the door. "Watch your head!" I ducked just in time before getting hit with the door frame. He set me down and I looked up at him.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Let's get you some hot chocolate." I sat on the couch and smiled at his messy house. It always made me feel safe and at home when I looked at the piles of clothes. I looked at his mission board and noticed that he kept the request for the mission we had did together the week before. It had specifically asked for us and no one else, not even our exceeds.

It was a simple request, really. Natsu would have to start a small fire and I'd make it bigger with my wind. It could've been done by any sky and fire mage. The only problem was the wood that they chose could only be kindled by dragons or dragon slayers. It was really fun too! After Natsu started a fire, he started entertaining the townspeople by juggling fire covered sticks. I don't remember when, but then I started joining in too, spinning little children in the air. Our pay got deducted a few thousand jewel for playing around (and maybe burning down a few houses). We just laughed the entire time.

I giggled as Natsu came into the living room with two cups of hot cocoa in his hands.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked me with a questionable look on his face.

"Just remembering our first mission together." I slipped off my coat and other winter clothes, grabbing the hot chocolate out of his hands.

"First? You mean there are others?"

"Well, no, but I was hoping we could do more. Just the two of us."

"Just the two of us, eh?" He collapsed onto the couch after setting his mug on the coffee table. "That sounds nice."

I laughed. "We should stop relaxing and get started soon."

"Yeah, but.." He scooted close to me before laying his head on top of mine. "I like spending time with you."

I blushed and continued to sip my warm drink. We sat there for a few minutes before he lifted his head and stood up.

"I guess you're right though. I don't want to keep you here." I bundled myself back in my layers and tried opening the door.

Tried.

The door wouldn't budge. I tried pulling, pushing, tugging, but it didn't move an inch. I started mentally freaking out and felt light headed. Natsu noticed the absolute paral in my eyes and look out the frost covered window.

"Oh no.." He spoke and I leaned against something to keep myself from fainting.

"Oh no what?"

"We're snowed in.."

There was a long pause before I ran to the window to see it from myself. Through the frost covering the window, I could still see snow blocking the entrance way.

"What about the windows?" I asked him with worry clearly on my face. He unlatched the window sill and tried to open the window.

Again, tried.

"It must be frozen shut." Natsu came up with a conclusion and I sat on the couch.

"Carla is going to be so upset with me. I promised her I would stay inside all day and I wouldn't leave our dorm." I curled myself in a ball and wanted to cry. Who knew how long the snow would last. What if Fairy Tail got snowed in too? No one would be able to help us then. How long would the food last us? Probably not long, considering how much Happy and Natsu ate. Did he have a refrigerator? He always ate out or at the guild, so I guessed not. I hadn't eaten lunch or breakfast, so I was starving. I slipped off my coat and other things as the heat was on.

As I prepared my final thoughts, I felt a hand on my head. I lifted my head up and saw Natsu grinning at me.

"Wendy, calm down. Luce just made me go grocery shopping, so I have plenty of food. We won't be here forever, but I wouldn't mind being here with you for the rest of my life. The snowstorm has been going on for three days, it can't be long before it's ended." I blushed at some of his words but smiled anyways.

"Okay, then. Let's wait it out together!"

We played Monopoly (Natsu won), Charades (I won), Clue (I won), and in the middle of a game of Uno, the heat turns off. I immediately shivered from the cold while Natsu was perfectly ok.

"Cold?" I nodded and he stood, placing his cards face side down so I couldn't see them. I felt warm fabric drape over my shoulders and turned to see Natsu smiling. I've rarely ever seen him frown, now that I think about it. I snuggled into the cover and mumbled a 'thanks', knowing he could hear me clearly with dragon hearing. He nodded and we continued playing the card game until Natsu played a wild card.

"The color is…" He dragged his sentence on and I hoped it was green as it was the color of the last card I had. "Blue."

I groaned and pulled a card from the deck, making him grin.

"Uno!" He placed a red skip card on the playing deck and my jaw dropped. "I won! I won! I won!" He did a little dance and I laughed at how silly he could be.

'It's official. I definitely like Natsu-san.'

"Now we're tied, Wendy. Let's play truth or dare as a tiebreaker!" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"How is that a tiebreaker?"

"We both write on truth and a dare on two slips of paper. We give each other our dare and truth. Whoever does the ones they got without hesitation, wins." It seemed simple enough, so I nodded. I wrote down my truth and dare on two slips of paper Natsu had given me. We switched and I was a bit surprised at how neat his handwriting was.

Truth: Who is your favorite person in the guild?

Dare: Eat six pickled plums.

I scrunched up my nose at the dare, remembering the last time I had to eat one of those sour treats. I decided to do the truth first when it was my turn.

I looked at Natsu who was gaping at what I had written.

Truth: What's your favorite color?

Dare: You can't fight with Gray, Gajeel, or anyone else for the rest of the week.

Not the best truth, but it's all I could think of.

"Please don't, Wendy!" Natsu looked at me with eyes that shouted sadness. I looked away to be able to say no.

"Sorry, Natsu-san, but a dare is a dare."

"What if I do something else instead?"

"Like what?"

"What if I carried you anywhere?"

"No, Natsu-san. Please answer your truth and agree to the dare." I looked back at him and he sighed in defeat.

"My favorite color is dark red and I agree to the dare." Natsu said with a pout that I won. He went to the kitchen and came back out with a jar of umeboshi. I gulped as he set it down in front of me. I grabbed six and popped them all in my mouth.

"So sour.." I puckered my lips at the taste.

"Now tell me. Who's your favorite?" Natsu asked me and I thought for a second before coming up with my answer.

'But first...'

"Natsu-san, who do you think is my favorite?"

"Probably Erza or Carla. They are your best friends." What he said was true. I've been with Carla since I was little, and I got closer to Erza after she invited me to join Fairy Tail.

I shook my head 'no'. "My favorite person is you, Natsu-san."

He raised an eyebrow, looked around the room, then pointed at himself. "Me?"

I giggled. "Yes, you. You're a really nice person and you're fun to be around."

He ruffled my hair and my cheeks flushed. "Thanks kid. That means more than you think."

I tilted my head to one side in confusion of what Natsu meant. He ignored my signs of bewilderment and gave me a hug. Despite the cold, he was still extremely warm. I imagined him being a fluffy marshmallow and nuzzled into his chest more. My eyes becoming droopy and I felt myself nodding off.

"I am not a pillow, Wendy." Natsu noticed my body wanting nothing more than to get some rest.

"Nope.. you're a.. marshmallow.." I drifted off into my subconscious and dreamt of pillows made out of of marshmallows.
