Chapter 2:
(Natsu's POV)
Barging in through the doors of Fairy Tail I slowed down enough to look around. Gray and Erza weren't around and Gramps was heading toward his office. "Yo Gramps, what did you want to talk to me about!" as I ran after him I thought something was weird about how he didn't say anything back to me.
"Natsu, I have to ask you, has anything strange been happening to Lucy?" skidding to a stop I slammed straight into his desk. Sitting down on the ground I started to think.
"Well yeah, earlier Luce was givin' off this really weird magical energy right after she collapsed," shaking my head I looked at master as he started pacing the room. "What is it Gramps?" using the desk to help me up I placed my hand on his shoulder to make him look at me.
"Someone came here earlier today asking about Lucy but they wouldn't say who they were or why they were looking for her," letting go off his shoulder I didn't bothering waiting for him to say any more and I took off in a run back to Lucy's.
"Hey Natsu, wait up!" as Happy flew to catch up to me I hoped that Lucy was okay.
(Lucy's POV)
"Are you sure you're okay Lucy?" sitting on my bed I just nodded as Wendy and Carla continued to ask me the same question. Truthfully, I didn't know if I was alright at all. I didn't remember anything other than the dream and then waking to find Natsu watching over me. Placing my hand over the necklace I had gotten from mum Carla starting looking at me weirdly.
"What, why are you looking at me like that?" as she walked over to me she merely continued to stare at me.
"When did you get that?" when she pointed at the necklace Wendy leaned in closer to have a look at it. As I placed it in my hand they both tried to have a really good look at the necklace.
"It's pretty," smiling, I was happy that Wendy liked it but the look in Carla's eyes was telling me to talk.
"You're gonna think I'm weird but I think my mum gave it to me in a dream cause I don't remember going on a job with Natsu and Happy," curling my fingers around the necklace I lifted it to my face I tried to think about what the job was but I kept coming up with a blank.
"Lucy!" jumping from my bed I fell straight onto the floor next to Wendy and Carla as Natsu climbed in through my window. Staring up at him he appeared out of breath. As he smiled at me he collapsed into a pile on my bed and started snoring loudly. Usually I would've thrown him out but the way he had looked when he saw me, it had stirred something inside me.
"Wendy, Carla, you can go now, I'll call if I need you," shooing them out the door I went and sat next to Natsu. As I sat watching him sleep I brushed his hair from his eyes and left my fingers to dwell there a little longer. Smiling to myself I gave him a gentle nudge so there was room for me to curl in under the blankets. Even if I said I was okay I was still tired and as I lay there next to Natsu I was truly peaceful and was able to close my eyes.
(Natsu's POV)
"Natsu and Lucy, sittin' in a tree, K. I. S. S. I. N. G," mumbling softly I slowly opened my eyes and remembered I had made it to Lucy's apartment and found her safe and then collapsed. Turning my head I was meet with a sudden waft of a familiar vanilla scent. Trying to move I found Lucy's hand under my scarf and that she was asleep. Looking around I found Happy sitting at the end of the bed, laughing.
"Happy, this isn't…" pulling her hand from under my scarf I sat up quickly, felling the heat rush to my face.
"You loooooove her," watching him laugh I was going to say something back when I heard Lucy moan behind me.
"Natsu, what?" as she rubbed her eyes and slowly rose up I felt more heat rise to my face and I noticed that she was extremely cute when she was just waking up. I didn't know what this feeling was; I had never felt this way about anyone before.
"How are you feeling?" as I moved to the edge of the bed I sank down and soon Happy was sitting in front of me. As he looked between me and Lucy he started smiling.
"You loooooove each other," as I sat there I grabbed Happy and placed my hand firmly on his mouth. Looking up at Lucy her cheeks had gone rosy pink.
"I'm fine, you can go now," nodding I took Happy and was soon racing to the edge of Magnolia. Sinking down into a crouch I looked out as the day began to end.
"What is it Natsu?" as Happy sat up on my shoulder I let them drop.
"I don't know, whenever I look at Lucy I get this feeling," looking up at Happy I watched as he started laughing again.
"Just like I said, you loooooove her," looking back out across the sea I thought that maybe Happy was right and I did love Lucy but did she feel the same way.
(Lucy's POV)
Sitting on my bed I looked at the door that Natsu had used to leave, usually he would have used the window. Something seemed different with him recently, we had been going on more jobs just the two of us, (plus Happy) and I would sometimes catch him looking at me at the guild. Holding my hand close to me it smelled like him and it was warm. Going over to the window I leant out and watched the last rays of the sun dip below the horizon. Was there something bigger going on between Natsu and me or was I just thinking too much into things. "No, not possible, Natsu would never think of me that way," closing the window I flicked the light on and watched as it flickered. Closing my eyes I allowed my mind to wonder.
"Lucy, come back, please, Lucy!" jolting from the sudden image of Natsu shouting after me my hand went to the charm around my neck. Just what was going on and what could that sudden image have meant.
