Lucy walked into the main bar area smirking, this would be interesting. "ATTENTION FAIRY TAIL!" She yelled at the top of her voice. All the heads immediately spun around, a bit terrified. Lucy was in a good mood and grouchy people ignoring her was NOT gonna ruin it.
"There is someone I would like you to meet, I present…. NATSU DRAGNEEL" That sentence really turned everybody even people ignoring her were staring with wide eyes. She could already see Erza had tears, "What is the meaning of this Lucy-
"Yo!" A familiar voice casually strolled through the door waving and grinning. "YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE MORE FORMAL! Ugh you haven't seen your friends in a few years and all you say is 'yo'!" Lucy criticized as Natsu just laughed at her pouting. "I'm back" He put his arm around her and said "And I couldn't have done it without Luce" Lucy smiled shyly, he was so warm. 'so real….'
Lucy quickly ran out of the way from the ambush of people charging at Natsu, she had never seen him so terrified but happy. Luckily they made sure Erza got her turn last, Natsu was probably not going to be conscious. Poor him, he just woke up too. Lucy chuckled.
Happy was on Natsu's back, considering the crowd it wasn't safe for him to be on the ground. Even though Natsu thought he was getting a little big for the thing they would always do as kids, but this time was special. He had started speaking again, Lucy was creeped out and scared at first but got used to it. Apparently the rest of the apartment block already knew.
Romeo hugged Natsu tightly crying, "What are you crying for" Natsu said cheerily "If you cry like that you will never be able to beat me" He said keeping in mind Romeo's goal to beat Natsu, His answer surprised Natsu. "I Don't care right now, im just so happy…. Your alive….". Natsu picked him up and grinned "I don't die that easily" then put a very happy Romeo.
He moved out of the way when Wendy approached Natsu, "Im sorry Natsu-san…..". "Huh?" Natsu wasn't expecting an apology, Lucy smiled, she knew what Wendy was apologizing about and finally she could have that weight lifted off her shoulders. "I wasn't able to save y-" She was cut off by Natsu ruffling her hair, "none of this was your fault Wendy, in fact I would say you did save me. That's why I'm standing here" Wendy nodded crying then went over to Lucy who stood with her.
Many more tears and hugs followed, one that left Natsu injured on the floor. Lucy went to make sure he was okay, but he was smiling "I'm fine, In fact I'm just happy I can feel pain again." He grinned, then went off to challenge Gray to another fight most likely going to cause a massive brawl.
Lucy explained to Makarov the situation, he just nodded then got the phone "There is someone who is gonna want to know about this" He said. "Hey, you might want to come, no nothing is wrong it's just been a while, ok, ok bye" He hung up and explained that there was someone called Guildarts and that he constantly travelled, he used to come back often, mostly to see how Natsu was doing. After Natsu was put in a coma he could barely stand to come here, they were like father and son.
Then Lucy remembered when Natsu and Her were writing her book, he told her he wanted to have father of the dragon be there the entire book, never leaving the young dragons side. When she asked why he just grinned sheepishly.
Lucy was going to continue talking with Makarov but was pulled away by Natsu, He went over to his friends with Lucy and said "Yea! She is writing a book!, it's so good but she won't let me read the rest until its published" He made puppy dog eyes at her. She quickly looked away, she didn't want to be pulled in by the puppy eyes.
Gray started laughing his head off, "What's so funny stripper?" Natsu challenged. He was going to answer but Happy cut him off "You liiiiiiike each other~". That's when Natsu realized he was still holding Lucy's hand. His reply shocked most of the people who heard it, "Yea buddy, yea we do"
And instead of letting go of her hand he only held it tighter. After that they tried to maintain a normal conversation although it was very hard with Mira squealing in the background about ships and otps. Levy, Lucy and Juvia separated into their own group and begun chatting, it didn't last long.
The boys were fighting in the middle of the bar so they had to go stop it, when they were in earshot they heard "LUCY WOULD MAKE A MUCH BETTER GIRLFRIEND" "PFF YOU WISH SALAMANDER CLEARLY LEVY WOULD MAKE THE BEST GIRLFRIEND" "JUVIA IS BETTER THAN ALL OF YOURS"
"BREAK IT UP!" Erza silenced them, she walked in the middle dragging a flushed faced Jellal "Jellal would be a better boyfriend then all of you" She said proudly while Jellal tried to signal help. The boys turned to face the girls "LEVY WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME" "EHHHH!" "JUVIA WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME" "graaayyyy-sama!" "JELLAL GO OUT WITH ME NOW" "o-ok…. O/O"
"Now that Natsu is back! Group photo!" Makarov got his new camera and said grinning. Everyone got into position, the guys proudly standing with their new girlfriends. Lucy smiled when she felt someone warm hold her hand,
"I love you Luce"
"I love you Natsu"
