Promise to the moon: 1

Umm... I believe I should explain my self as I am fully aware I haven't updated in quite a while, the reason why is because the connection on my laptop was terrible so being the smarty-pants that I thought I was I decided to restart my router (and for all you kiddie winks, that's the thing that gives us connection to the internet) but when it was back on it just shut down and I couldn't go on the internet for days. I had an idea to use my IPhone but it won't seem to let me upload the fan-fic since it's being a bitch mouldy cow soo I hope you guys will forgive me *^* thank you guys so much for your patience and your co-operation and without further ado, here's the story ;)

-Flashback-

~Lucy's P.O.V~

"I wish I could believe you Luce, I really wish I could but me believing isn't gonna make you stay in Fairy Tail..." I slumped to the floor as three of my most trusted and valued friends turned their backs to me and left me on the streets of magnolia...

-Present-

~Narrator's P.O.V~

Natsu didn't know why he did that, he started to regret leaving her on the street- hell! He even regretted doubting her in the first place! He fiddled with his fingers as he paced back and forth in the guild hall every so often elevating his head up slightly towards the giant doors longing for the beautiful blonde to run up to him with a smile.

He sat on a chair and massaged the bridge of his nose with his thumb, index finger and his middle finger as he started becoming stressed with the thought of Lucy leaving the guild. 'And for what reason?' He began ranting in his head 'she can't even give us the slightest idea of why she wants to leave the guild or where she's going? I thought we had something special between us!' Natsu froze up as he had realized what he just thought.

"We had something special...?" Natsu was so lost in thought that he mumbled out loud causing Erza, Gray, Lisanna and Happy to turn to him with questioning faces.

"Are you thinking of Lucy, Natsu?" Lisanna asked with a sad, sympathetic smile on her face, which snapped Natsu out of his deep thoughts.

"Ughhh... Yeah, sorry for not paying attention... I couldn't help but wonder if she was okay after what happened on Monday..." Natsu's voice slowly drifted into a hoarse whisper as he went back to delve in his deep thoughts about her, all Team Natsu and Lisanna could do was sigh at the worrying scene and it slowly went into silence as the rest of the members tried to lighten up the atmosphere with laughter and drinking. Mostly drinking.

The guild kept partying and fighting trying to get their minds of Lucy who didn't enter the guild for three weeks and guilt started overwhelming them which drove them to drinking and partying. But not Natsu though, he always had his head hung low as he went into deep conversations with himself in his thoughts about Lucy, and sometimes he would end up screaming about Lucy out loud without knowing making the whole guild silent but tonight he didn't scream, he didn't mumble, nor did he contemplate about Lucy. He just sat there, head hung low with big void within his heart.

"If you really are worried about Lucy, go to her apartment and break in to her room like you always do, maybe that might cheer both of you up." Natsu looked up to see Lisanna's bubbly smile ans beaming eyes, which made him pause and think for a second.

"How do you know that Lucy is still upset?" Natsu interrogated her and he let his eyes pierce through her as her eyes widened and she started stuttering, while her eyes darted around the room.

"Umm... Well-errr see... I-it was j-just a guess, a hunch, ermm... A prediction...eheh umm it's just a weird feeling in my gut Natsu, nothing to take at heart to..." Lisanna never made eye to eye contact as she spoke, which made Natsu suspicious and squint as if he was trying to solve a puzzle and suddenly he jumped on to the table and pointed an accusing finger at her which made the whole guild eye them suspiciously.

"Y-You went to see her didn't you!? You could've at least told us if she was okay and that she wasn't mentally scarred!" Lisanna sighed and slowly lifted both of her hands up, to show surrender as she couldn't deny, she had been to Lucy's apartment and she was caught red-handed so there was no way of getting around it.

"You caught me... I have been going to Lucy to tell her about things that have been happening in the guild, just basically trying to make her feel better and start coming back here again but it whatever I said never worked on her, at least go to her Natsu; convince her, I don't want her to go without her knowing how you feel." Lisanna pleaded with the most saddest face and Natsu couldn't help notice everyone else doing the same exact same face, his face went pale as it terrified him so much that everyone's face looked so alike as they did the sad face so he dashed through the guild doors, almost ripping them out of their hinges, towards Lucy's apartment.

~Lucy's P.O.V~

I lay there silently within the depths of the bathtub, the heat of the water made me feel at ease as I tried to forget what had happened three weeks ago. My eyes slowly started to shut but much to my dismay, was rudely interrupted by a gentle tapping noise on the other side of the door, being my idiot self I thought it was Virgo trying to get into the bathroom to exchange my old, ragged and dirty clothes with fresh, new ones so I wrapped a towel around my body and opened the door. I anticipated Virgo to ask for punishment but what I didn't expect was Natsu waiting on the other side of the doorway which made my heart jump more than it should have.

"Lucy, I came to check if you were alrig-"

"KYAAAAAAAA"

Without realizing, I pushed Natsu from fright and he had pulled me towards him to try to regain balance thus created the most awkward moment because in the end of all the pushing and the pulling we ended up landing on the bed with Natsu on top of me. I saw Natsu's face turn bright red as he noticed that my towel that clung onto my body was threatening to fall and expose me, I felt blood rush to my face as I pulled left hand towards my chest and my right hand to his chest hoping to succeed in pushing him off me, I mentally sighed in relief as he gladly obliged to get off me.

"U-um hey Luce... I just came to stop by to see how you were doing..." Natsu rubbed the back of his neck giving a toothy grin with a slight bit of guilt, I couldn't help but blush as he gave her a toothy grin. I noticed that he had no shirt so I took the liberty to get a sneak peak of him while he didn't notice I mean c'mon you'd think I would be a creep but think about it. I'm wearing a freaking towel around me!

"Ah.. I'm guessing Lisanna told you to come here, didn't she? Er... It's been a while since we talked, why don't we catch up?" I looked at Natsu to see his face light up like he was a child at a toy store, I couldn't help but giggle at the sight as he gave a satisfied nod and pulled a thumbs up and closed the door behind him as he entered the living room.

As he left the room, I released a sigh and slumped down on to the bed letting all of my muscles relax. I had completely forgotten how devilishly handsome he had become from the gradual years they had become, I blushed as I thought about his features but quickly pushed them aside as I got changed into a white spaghetti top, blue jeans and my combat boots.

~Narrators P.O.V~

As Natsu entered the living room he sat on the couch and mentally cursed himself because the last thing he wanted to do was to sit down and have a chat with Lucy alone. 'What are we supposed to talk about? How I kept sulking in the guild because she didn't come? How the guild kept partying because they tried to get their minds off of her? How-' Natsu's thoughts were interuppted when he heard the door softly click open, he turned his head to find Lucy trying to quietly walk in to the room without disturbing his thoughts. All Natsu could do was chuckle as Lucy blushed but she lightly shook her head and quietly whispered something almost inaudible.

"Want some...Natsu?"

"e-Eh?! w-w-what are y-you talking a-about Luce?!" The said boy blew up in steam, blushed profusely and stuttered so hard that he thought that his tongue might fall off.

"A-ano... that's not what I meant Natsu... I asked you if you wanted some f-food..." Lucy's blush equally challenged and almost put Natsu's blush to shame as she attempted to correct his misunderstanding.

"S-Sure..." Natsu didn't know whether or not he should talk about the guild or how to even mention Fairytail without starting a fight with her so all he did was sit there as he watched her concentrate on preparing his food.

Lucy on the other hand was very nervous, her hands were trembling as she felt Natsu burrow holes into her back while she was making his spicy chicken with chilli sauce on the side. She wanted to ask about what was going on in the guild but she was scared that might start an argument and she didn't want her relationship with her best friend to break down because she loved him very much, it was a very awkward silence until one of them spoke up...
