HELLO EVERYBODY! :D How's life? I actually found time to update at least one story today! Yay! Hehe. Okay, everybody go read.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.
Little Natsu's eyes widened and he began to run towards the sound of splashing and screaming. He ran down the riverbed until he reached the little blonde girl that was being swept away by the river's current. "Help!" She screamed, her eyes shut. "Help, I can't swim!" She was waving her arms around frantically to keep afloat, but the water kept raging on and threatened to drown her if she kept opening her mouth.
"Ah, I-I'm coming!" Little Natsu jumped into the water and swam towards the drowning girl.
"P-please hurry!" She whimpered as her arms began to tire out.
By using the water current as a boost of speed, little Natsu reached the blonde and pulled her against him and struggled to reach the shore. Little Lucy opened her eyes at the boy's touch and turned around to look at her saviour. "T-thank you," She whispered as she blushed a little.
Little Natsu helped little Lucy back onto land before he pulled himself up. "Y-you're welcome." He panted. Little Lucy felt a few drops of water from Natsu's hair fall onto her skin and she smiled at the boy.
"Miss Lucy!" A bunch of maids and servants came running towards little Natsu and little Lucy. They surrounded her and started crying with happiness. "Oh, thank Mavis, you're safe!"
Little Lucy looked at the ground with a disappointed look before she gave them a fake smile and giggled. "Yup!" She put on a little pout. "I just wanted to get some fresh air, but I got lost."
Little Natsu looked at her. His enhanced dragon slayer senses told him that she was lying, but he kept quiet. Suddenly, the maids and servants turned their attention to him. He jerked back at the intenseness of the strangers' stares.
"THANK YOU FOR SAVING MISS LUCY!" The maids and servants said in unison as they started escorting little Lucy away.
"No problem, I guess." Little Natsu felt a bit disappointed when the girl began to walk away, but he tried to ignore the feeling.
He touched his precious muffler and began to walk away, but something in him didn't want to leave yet. He decided to just take one more look at the mysterious blonde before they parted ways. He turned his head and saw her staring at him. Her eyes widened with surprise and she smiled genuinely as she gave a quick wave and turned around. Little Natsu felt his cheeks warm and smiled softly as he walked away.
Lucy had watched everything from the little hill and she could feel the nostalgia warm her to the bone. That day was the day that she had met Natsu for the first time. It was an old forgotten memory, but after that moment, the memory seemed as new as ever. Lucy laid on her back and closed her eyes, content with the nice feeling that she had. Without realizing it, she whispered his name quietly before she drifted off to sleep with a soft look on her face.
When she woke up, she saw the ceiling moving. Her head was pounding and the warm feelings she had from her dream was washed away. She weakly moved a hand onto her head. "Ugh…"
"Lucy! You're awake!" Lucy moved her gaze to see Natsu looking down at her with teary eyes. No wonder the ceiling was moving, she thought. Natsu was carrying me. "How's your head? Sorry, I haven't found Wendy yet, so your injuries are still really bad."
"It's okay." Lucy replied, smiling up at her husband. The warm feelings from her dream came back as she gazed at the man. "I had a dream about you."
"About me?" Natsu said quietly as he continued to walk around, searching for Wendy and any other Fairy Tail members.
"About us." Lucy giggled when Natsu smiled down at her. "It was about the first time we met… except, it wasn't really a dream. It was more like watching a memory; watching something that had happened in the past."
Natsu's smile disappeared when Lucy finished talking. Lucy was beginning to become very reminiscent. Was he running out of time to save her? He had thought that when people edge closer to death, they start thinking about what they've done their whole life.
"I think the memory was triggered when I felt your tears on my skin before, because in the memory, there was a part where water fell onto my skin after you saved me from drowning." Lucy had a thoughtful look on her face.
"Oh, then maybe I should stop doing things that trigger memories. I don't want you to pass out again." Natsu said as he gave her his signature grin. Lucy giggled at that, but her head started feeling awful again.
"Gah, Natsu! It's happening again!" Lucy tried pinching herself as hard as she could so she wouldn't lost consciousness. She didn't want Natsu to worry about her again.
"Shit!" Natsu had a frantic look as he stopped walking.
"Ah, sorry, Natsu." Lucy felt her eyelids getting heavier and she let her arms fall. She stole one quick glance at Natsu before she lost consciousness and saw his lips form words.
"Just make sure you come back!"
