He dragged her in the forest in a very beautiful clearing, he seemed in discomfort "I've thought 'bout it… I, I can't…". She looked disappointed "why?" the blonde asked dryly Lucy remembered the day before, when she asked him…

-FLASHBACK-

"Natsu?..." she looked straight in his eyes "what's up Luce?" he grinned at his best friend… well for him she was more, he loved her; but she didn't know… yet.

"W-would you do me a favor?" Lucy seemed almost praying; at her words his smile softened "it depends Luce! What kind of favor?" her eyes lightened up a bit "would you teach me how to fight?". He frowned but she continued "I- I would like to protect my friends, to be useful in our tasks. I'm so weak, you have always to came to rescue me…" her eyes became teary, he suddenly hugged her "I'll think 'bout.. kay?" said the pink haired boy, but if you could see his eyes you would see his sadness 'I've failed' he thought…

-END OF FLASHBACK-

He didn't reply "why?" she asked again, in her voice a hint of anger. Natsu looked at her his eyes angry and sorry at the same time "I… I'd like to say that is 'cause I don't want you to be hurt, I can fight for you, but the truth is that I feel like I've failed. My objective is to protect you, and I like to came for you, I want came to save you… I'm not the romance type, but at least I can always be your knight in shining armor…" he hugged her tightly "please… leave me be your hero…". Lucy's eyes widened and she felt tears go down her face "And that's because… because I love you, Luce…" then she felt his lips on hers, she melted in the kiss and when the broke apart gasping for air she could only reply "I love you too"…

I know… it sucks, it's a lot OOC and it took me a lot to write it…

So I just hope that you enjoyed it…
