"So Lucy, how do you know Natsu?" Lisanna asked, while the girls were changing into their swimsuits.

"I actually met him when I had gone shopping." She had hesitantly answered. Something about this white haired girl made her uneasy. "How about you, Lisanna?"

Lucy mentally slapped herself for asking such a stupid question. Natsu had already told her that they were childhood friends.

"We're childhood friends,"

"Oh," Lucy chuckled nervously, feeling uncomfortable about how the conversation was going. She was dressed in a white bikini with pink flowers, while Lisanna was in a solid red one. She eyed Lisanna's thin body enviously, feeling self conscious about her own. Levy who was nearby was dressed in a striped bikini, cried to herself after seeing the other girl's chests.

"Shall we go now? I bet the boys are waiting for us," Erza said, walking towards the door. She wore a solid yellow bikini while Mirajane behind her wore a solid blue one. "Juvia, why aren't you changed yet?"

"Juvia just bought a swimsuit, and Juvia wants Gray-sama to see Juvia first." Juvia said sheepishly, making the girls squeal. One by one, each of the girls walked out of the changing rooms. As soon as they did, all eyes were on them.

"I bet Natsu would love to see you in that, Lu-chan," Lucy turned bright red, and smacked her best friend on the back.

"Yeah? I bet Gajeel would faint after he sees you in that," Levy blushed, and walked faster, mumbling inaudible words. Lucy giggled, unconsciously hugging her body. What would Natsu think of her? She began to blush a darker shade at such thoughts, her eyes moving to look at Lisanna. The girl was perfect, and she was just...Lucy. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she spotted the males ahead.

"What took ya girls so long?" Natsu spoke first, his eyes met with Lucy's.

"Natsu, what do you think of Lu-chan's bod- uh swimsuit?" Lucy felt flustered as Natsu's eyes raked over her body.

"It's uh very...flowery." He quickly turned his eyes away from Lucy's body before he got a major nosebleed. He looked over at Jellal and Gajeel who were also surprised by their wife/girlfriend's bikinis. Even Gray tried to seem cool about Juvia in a bikini, but he had a tiny blush on his cheeks.

Little did he know that Lucy was pretty flustered as well. She knew Natsu was muscular, but not this muscular. He had a perfect body, and she felt like a pervert for staring at him. He turned back to Lucy and was about to say something when he was tackled by Lisanna yet again.

"Natsu, what do you think of my swimsuit?" She asked him, excited to hear his opinion.

"It's uh nice," He awkwardly said, scratching the back of his head. Lucy looked away, and began to walk towards water slides. She completely ignored the worried look that Natsu was giving her, as her friends followed her as well.

~X~

"Natsu, I want to go on that water slide! Let's go together!" Natsu groaned, as he looked at his childhood friend. She had wanted to ride everything with him, and that was seriously annoying him.

"I'm tired, I don't want to go anywhere anymore," He told her, looking at Lucy who sat on one of the chairs. This trip was suppose to be a fun one, and Lucy didn't look like she was enjoying any second of it. Natsu watched as she snapped at some of the boys who were flirting with her. He felt something bubble in the pit of his stomach as he watched one of the guys try to kiss her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?! Who says you're allowed to touch what's mine?" He growled dangerously at the male, his eyes narrowed. He wrapped his arms around Lucy, while she seemed confused.

"Sorry dude, I didn't know she was taken," The male said, raising his arm in defense.

"Well now you know, so scram!" The male was gone in a flash, making Natsu sigh. He pulled back slightly, and looked at the blushing girl in his arms.

"Are you alright Luce?"

"Y-Yeah," She sputtered, remembering his words.

'What the hell do you think you're doing?! Who says you're allowed to touch what's mine?'

'Who says you're allowed to touch what's mine?'

'...touch what's mine?'

'..what's mine.'

She squirmed in her seat under his heated gaze. Since when was she his?

"I'm glad you're alright," He breathlessly said, pulling her into another hug.

Lisanna who was watching nearby was heartbroken. She saw a sort of flame in Natsu's eyes that would only flicker when he was with Lucy, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She had always thought that she was the only girl that Natsu was close to, and that Natsu would eventually fall for her, but she was wrong. She recalled the conversation she had had with him the night before.

'Can I ask you something?'

'Sure, what is it?'

'Do you like someone?'

'Yeah, I do. I'm going back to bed now. Bye.'

How could she not have noticed? The one that Natsu liked wasn't her, but it was in fact Lucy. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and walked over to Natsu. The only way to know if anything was true or not was to ask Natsu himself.

"Natsu, can I talk to you?" He turned his attention to her, and nodded, telling Lucy he would be back in a bit. When they were in a private area, she stopped.

"I want to ask you something, and I want you to answer honestly."

"Sure, what is it?" He was confused at her unusual behavior, and he felt like it was his fault to begin with.

"Do you," She took a deep breath, looking him straight in the eyes. "Do you like Lucy?"

Sorry for the short/crappy chapter, late update, and typos. I've been really tired lately and pretty busy too...

Honestly, I'm really pissed at the new Fairy Tail episode. I've been waiting forever for that Nalu fan service, and I was disappointed. Sure I was happy that they actually added in the Lucy flying towards Natsu and they end up in a church bell scene, but after that was a disappointment. In the manga, it actually showed Natsu groping Lucy's (you know what) instead of covering his eyes, but in the episode, they showed a black screen with just the sounds of them talking.

(For people who have read the Fairy Tail Manga)

Was I the only one who was disappointed?
