AN: Thanks to those who reviewed, followed, and favorited. This is another oldie that I forgot I wrote and decided to polish. I always wanted to read a fic that had Gemini copy Natsu, so I figured I'd do it myself. Though since this was written, I'm sure there have been writers who explored the idea (at least, I know of one author who did).

EDIT: Okay, so I just remembered that Gemini can't copy anyone stronger than Lucy, so this scenario actually can't happen (I'M A DISGRACE AS A FAN OTL). But I am claiming this as a canon divergent, SO let's just ass-pull this and say that everything here's the same except Gemini can copy anyone around them. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Title: Tell Me What You Really Think

Summary: Gemini tells what's going on inside Natsu's head. Natsu isn't pleased.

Rating: K+

Pairing: NaLu

Timeline: Canon divergent. Can take place sometime after Tenrou but before Tartaros.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.

Natsu could kill Gemini.

Don't get him wrong; he loves the little twin spirits. Seriously, the ability to copy your master or your opponent is friggin' sweet! However, right now he wishes their talent only involved the person's appearance and magic.

As opposed to, say, the ability to get inside the head of the person they copied and blurt out all their deep, dark, never-to-see-the-light-of-day-ever secrets!

Let's start at the beginning, shall we? It was a typical day in Fairy Tail and of course Lucy Heartfilia's rent was due soon. So, naturally, she would kindly ask her partner and his talking cat to accompany her on a job that might as well have been a walk in the park.

("Natsu, fighting a giant monster and his band of mini monsters to protect the neighboring village is not a walk in the park!")

And because Natsu would do absolutely anything for Lucy, no questions asked, he and Happy agreed to the mission.

But, of course, there had to be a challenge with this particular mission. Apparently, a band of rogue mages were controlling the monsters and the team took it upon themselves to defeat them, the monsters, and save the village with a giant juicy award money waiting for them.

Lucy was mostly fired up because the fighting was far away enough that no property would get damaged, which oddly enough boosted her power; causing her to defeat a majority of the mages with her whip and Celestial Spirits.

Needless to say, Natsu was very impressed (and a little turned on, but he would never admit that).

After a while, the only person left was a fire mage. Natsu could have wiped the floor with him easily, but the rogue mage had a large lizard-like monster with him that could also deal out fire.

("Pssh, please, Igneel is a lot more menacing than that pipsqueak!"

"Shut up Natsu and FIGHT THAT BEAST!"

"AYE!")

So Natsu—along with Happy—defeated the (pathetic) creature and Lucy dealt with the fire mage by calling on Gemi and Mini. The twins transformed into Natsu and used his fire dragon slayer abilities to defeat the mage and finish the job. Another victory for Fairy Tail!

"You were awesome, Gemini!" Lucy praised once the enemy was knocked out and tied up along with the other rogue mages. She and the clone exchanged a high five.

"Thanks, Lucy!" the spirit replied in the dragon slayer's voice, "I was all fired up!"

The two shared a laugh and before the twins could turn back to their original forms and leave for the Celestial Realm, the actual Natsu appeared with his Exceed.

"Woooah, cool! I've never seen you copy me before. I looked badass!" Natsu gushed, earning a proud smirk to fall on the copy's face.

Lucy looked on and smiled at her friend's amazed face. She really enjoyed it when Natsu was impressed with her magic and her spirit's powers.

"Oooh," Happy piped up as he looked at his father figure's clone with a devious face, "Can you look into Natsu's head like you did with Gray when we first met?"

At the cat's suggestion, Lucy's face reddened a tad with the memory of Gemini revealing Gray's thoughts on her. She herself wondered what Natsu thought of her, but waved it off as something predictable like him calling her a weirdo.

Wouldn't be surprised if that happened, she thought while rolling her eyes.

Natsu, on the other hand, was growing nervous at the idea of Lucy hearing what he really thought of her. Especially coming from a mouth that looked like his, yet wasn't. His nerves grew even more when he realized Gemini's proud smirk turned into a devious one that rivaled the one on Happy's face.

Oh no, he wouldn't… The mage was about to lunge at his copy and force him back to the spirit world, but he felt his feline companion pull him back.

HAPPY YOU TRAITOR! He thought as he thrashed against the Exceed, but to no avail. When the hell did the cat get so strong?!

Lucy stared in confusion at the display. Why didn't Natsu want her to know his thoughts? Were they awful? Maybe perverted? Or perhaps were they—she can't believe she was thinking this—romantic?

Get a grip, Lucy! She ordered herself and turned to her partner's clone with a determined look on her pretty face, "Okay, Gemini, I'm curious now. Let's hear it."

Well, she was curious…

The Dragon Slayer's copy smirked as he began, all the while ignoring the real Natsu's protests and Happy's encouraging jeers, "Natsu Dragneel's thoughts on Lucy Heartfilia: a girl who was nice enough to buy him food, and brought her to Fairy Tail. Has a comfy bed and is a weirdo."

Lucy deflated and sighed in disappointment. That's it? Oh, well, I knew it was to be expected.

She was about to force close the twin's gate when they interrupted her with their next set of words, still in Natsu's voice:

"Natsu Dragneel thinks Lucy Heartfilia is the prettiest girl he has ever seen."

There was a long pause until the spirit's words finally sunk in for Lucy. She sputtered, her face flaming red.

"E-ehh?!" The prettiest girl he has ever seen? Really?

Natsu, meanwhile, gawked at the spirit's blunt (and true) words, but quickly recovered by saying, "Y-Yeah, okay so what? It's a compliment, Luce, be happy!"

"Natsu also thinks you are really strong and smart, Lucy. You fascinate him," Gemini continued, enjoying his master's blushing cheeks and the evil glint in the eyes of the person they copied. Needless to say, the twins were having fun.

Lucy was touched and turned to the real Natsu who was looking away in embarrassment, "Aww Natsu, that is so sweet of you!"

Natsu felt his cheeks heat up more and desperately wished Happy would let go of him so he could dig a hole to burry himself in it.

"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome. Can you get rid of him now so we can go home?" No telling what else those devious twins will tell her next.

Before Lucy could comply, the twins—still in the Dragon Slayer's form—interrupted, "But don't you want to know that the reason he sleeps in your bed is because it smells like you. He even enjoys it more when you're in it!"

Oh yeah, Natsu is going to commit murder very, very soon.

"He also gets turned on when you really kick ass; goes through your underwear drawer when he gets bored; makes extra sure not to destroy too much property so you can have your rent money; deliberately punches Gray or any other guild member because sometimes that makes you smile; oh, and Natsu is absolutely, wholeheartedly in lo—" because the twins were on a roll, they failed to notice Happy had released Natsu due to his uncontrollable laughter and the fiery fist that knocked them straight back into the Celestial Realm.

"And don't come back!" the slayer yelled for good measure, failing to notice his partner flying at him with a cry of, "Lucy Kick!"

"What the hell, Lucy?! What was that for?!" he asked, rubbing the spot on his head where she assaulted him.

"For hurting Gemini! And for going through my underwear drawer!" she added as an afterthought.

Natsu rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Well, it serves them right. That stuff they said only belongs in my head and not out loud."

Lucy scoffed, "Well, I for one liked most of the stuff they said! It is very sweet of you to think of me that way. Also, it wouldn't hurt if you did say them out loud every once in a while."

She gave him one of her affectionate smiles, causing Natsu to blush and look away to try and hide it. An almost awkward silence soon followed. Well okay, now what?

"Hey, Lucy?" they turned to see Happy who had got over his laughing fit to stare questioningly at the blonde, "Did you know what the last thing Gemini was going to tell you was? Natsu punched them before they could say."

Natsu glared at the cat. He is SO not getting fish tonight!

"It doesn't matter!" he tried to brush off, "They were probably going to say that I raid your fridge or something like that." He thought that maybe they would buy it, but seeing Lucy's skeptic face told him that she was smarter than that.

"No, they said that you were 'absolutely, wholeheartedly' in something… What was it, Natsu, hmm?" she turned on him, smirking at him. The little minx knew didn't she? Well, tough, because he isn't going to say anything!

Catching onto his silent resolve, the celestial mage huffed, "Oh, well, I could always have Gemini tell me when I get home—"

She was cut off when she felt Natsu's lips on hers. Lucy was stunned by the sudden action at first, but then kissed him back. The two were like that for a while, in their own world and ignoring Happy's victorious cries that they "finally did it!"

When they parted, Natsu said, "For now on, whatever you want to know about me, I'll be the one to tell you and not some stupid copy."

Lucy giggled and nodded, "Good. So, will you finish Gemini's sentence for me?"

"Err…uh, well would you look at that sunset! We should really get going now before it gets too dark. C'mon Happy, Lucy, let's go!" Natsu yelled out, evading Lucy's question, grabbing the still unconscious rogue mages, and heading off in the direction of the village to receive their reward money.

The blonde stared, blinking in confusion for a second before getting her bearings and screaming at the Dragon Slayer's retreating figure, "Hey, you just don't kiss people and then run off like that! Natsu, get back here and tell me how you feel about me, damn it!"

Happy flew after the newly appointed couple, giggling at their antics, "They loooove each other!"

AN: Rereading this, I made Natsu quite the tsundere didn't I? I guess when I wrote it his personality gave me that impression (or I was influenced by other fanfics. That happens sometimes...).

Hope you liked it! Drop me a review and tell me what you think!
