Lucy opened her eyes and realized that the bed she was laying wasn't hers. She got up quickly and fell her head spin and sat again. "Shit, guess I drunk too much last night. Where am I?" she turned around and found something familiar, it was Natsu's scarf. Her eyes widen as she remembered everything that happened. "Oh my god.. Did we.. Oh my god!" she got up again and dressed herself and went to the living room look for Natsu but only found Gray sleeping on the couch. She poked him to wake.

"You scared me to death, geez"

"Sorry.. Where's Natsu?"

"I don't know, soon as I arrived today he told me that was going to stay away for a few days."

"Just like that?"

"Yep. Did you two fight?"

"No.. Look, when he comes back, tell him I wanna talk, ok?" she was leaving when Gray called her name, sitting on the couch.

"Lucy, you're a really nice girl. You're changing Natsu and I think he's scared of that. I don't if you're falling in love with him and if you do, don't give up so soon." she nodded and went home. If nothing more than a kiss happened, where's him? Why did he ran away? Lucy couldn't avoid thinking about him. She had so many doubts in mind. If she was really falling for Natsu, how would he react to this feeling?

Natsu tried his best to sleep but all he could do was think about that kiss. He waited Gray come back and went to Porlyusica's house, his stepmother. He freaked out with Lucy sleeping in his bed. Love felt like that? He never dated, never loved. He never had anyone dreaming on his arms. When he first saw Lucy, it was about having sex. Now sex became something special when it comes to her because for the first time he didn't want just a one night thing. Natsu never spent a lot of time with a girl till he met Lucy. Everytime he looked at her, he knew that she was the most precious thing he ever saw and for that, he could never hurt her. That's why he panicked when he realized that she was on his arms. Natsu didn't want to drag Lucy into his mess.

"Son! I missed you so much, my baby!" Porlyusica always treated Natsu like her own child. She involved him on her arms dragging him inside the house. He smiled and return the hug.

"Missed you too, Po." they sat at the couch and started to talk. She knows that it's so hard for him to be home after his father's death. That's why when he comes, she can tell that something's wrong. Natsu isn't so attached to her but they understand each other very well. He always comes to her when he needs a shelter.

She went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat and he went to his old room. Being home was weird and cozy at the same time. He dropped his bag on the ground and laid on his bed, remembering his childhood. Minutes later his stepmother called him and he followed the smell of food downstairs. They ate and talked till it was time to pick up Wendy on school.

"You wanna go? She'll love to see you." she asked Natsu to go get his younger sister. "Yeah, sure."

He walked to her school and waited for the bell rings. When Wendy came out and saw him she ran to his arms, smiling ear to ear. "Onee-chan, I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too my little tough girl!" she gave him the hand and they started to walk. They talked all the way home and Natsu was glad that he was seeing his little sister again after so long. When their father was alive, they were a happy and united family and Natsu spend most of his time taking care of Wendy, teaching things and playing with her. He was amazed to see how much Wendy had grown up. She has blue hair and features that reminds Porlyusica but her heart is huge like both father and mother.

When they arrived Po - Natsu always called her like that - was finishing dinner and Wendy yelled to her, talking about him. "Mommy I'm so happy nii-san is here!"

"I'm too baby! Come you two, let's have dinner!"

After eating together, Natsu and Wendy played until she fell asleep next to him on the couch. He took her to bed, took a shower and sat on his window to think. "Time can pass and you'll always do that, huh?" Porlyusica appeared on his side and he smiled to her.

"I like the view."

"Gotta admit it's a nice one." they stayed enjoying the moonlight in silence till she pronounced again. "I know that when you come back it's because something's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong, that is what I'm afraid. It has been a mess for so long and now just stopped."

"So you ran away from her."

"How do you know?" she laughed at his face as if it was obvious.

"Oh dear, nothing scares more than love. Plus I'm a mother, I have my instincts."

"Does it hurts?"

"Love? Sure. Nothing good comes without suffering, but it is worth every tear."

"There's this girl I met two months ago and she's amazing. She makes time for me and we see each other every day but last night I screwed everything. I hooked up with another girl and she saw it and didn't even fought with me."

"What happened later?"

"I took her to my dorm because she was drunk and lost her keys. Nothing happened, but I panicked. I don't know why, I just looked her laying in my arms and freaked out, got my bag and came here. Left her without saying why."

The stepmother let out a sigh and Natsu waited for her reply. "You don't have to run away from things you love. You have to deal with them."

"She deserves someone better. I'm all fucked up, I don't wanna hurt her."

"Then don't. You don't have to admit you love her now, you just have to let yourself fall in love." he laid his head on her shoulder. "You can stay home as long as you want."

"I know. Thanks Po."

"You're welcome my son." she went away and he kept thinking while laying on his bed. He knew that he needed to apologyze for his behavior with Lucy, but he couldn't face her now. Part of him wanted to show her that he worth it, but there's another part that tells him to runaway.

A/N: I know you all think that Natsu is a motherfcker hahah and he is, but Lucy can change him, he just need to let her enter on his life. Do you think Lucy will be mad at him when he comes back? Send me reviews about it :)
