Chapter 5

Lucy's POV

"So, Lucy Heartfilia, would you like to be my girlfriend?" Natsu said.

"I love you, huh," Natsu's smile faded,"you know, I've been waiting to hear you say that for a while now." I said calmly with a slight smile.

"So, that's a yes?" Natsu started to get excited.

I nod.

"YES!" Natsu said when he started to dance around like he always does when something like this happens. Swiftly, he then went over to me and kissed me. My eyes were wide until Natsu realized what he had done and stopped kissing me.

"I'm sorry Lucy." Natsu said with a slight blush.

Natsu was about to leave in shame when I kissed him back. We held our kiss until Happy came flying from the guild. "How'd it go Natsu?" Happy saw us kissing and instead of flying back, he stopped.

Natsu and I both turned around to face him. He had a plain face while staring at the both of us. Happy then asked calmly "So are you guys a couple now?"

We both nodded while smiled. Happy then lunged forward and tackled me "I knew you liked him!"

"OH, YOU CAT! YOU KNOW I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS DRESS IF YOU MESS IT UP!" I yell.

Natsu just stood there staring at us smiling. Happy stopped messing with me and I stood up.

"You know Lucy," he walked over to me and held my hands, "I wish you were there when I was younger. To witness how Erza, Gray, Mira, and everyone else was like. It would've been wonderful if you were there."

I smiled and said "You know, I didn't get to officially say it yet so here it is. I love you Natsu Dragneel and I always will."

Natsu gave a big grin and kissed me again. Happy just stood there and smiled awkwardly.

Natsu's POV

The next day Lucy and I walked into the guild hand-in-hand. Everyone looked at us and after a few seconds they smiled. Gray then said "And you said you guys would never get together."

I looked at Lucy and she smiled. Everyone started cheering and I looked around the guild. I saw Lisanna, which made us have direct eye contact. She looked down and left the guild. I let her be for a few minutes, but I couldn't take it. I couldn't be kept from comforting one of my best friends. Especially Lisanna because after everything she has done for me, I couldn't see her sad.

"I'll be right back." I told Lucy. Lucy looked at the guild's entrance and gave me a slight smile. She nodded as if she knew what I was doing.

I thought of where the most likely place Lisanna could have gone. I had an idea and walked to the little hut Lisanna and I raised Happy as an egg in. I found her in there crying. She noticed me and tried to cry quietly. I walked over to her and hugged her.

Lisanna cried even more and said "I thought you were going to be mine." I wasn't surprised by what she had said. I knew she liked and so I said "Lisanna, you are one of my very best friends and I love you for that. But not in the way of us being together. When you died, or at least everyone thought you died, I was crushed and kept my head down for a few days. Even weeks or months maybe. I couldn't get over the thought that you were gone. When we were little and you said that you could someday be my wife, I had the feeling that we would end up together. But as we got older, I saw you more as a sister to me. Not a friend, but a sister. You have helped me get through so many things, and I you. But I couldn't see us together. Do you understand?"

There was a long pause in our, what you could call a conversation. Lisanna finally lifted her head up with a smile and said "You have always had a way with words. You know Natsu. I'm happy for you and Lucy. I hope have a good time together."

"Thank you," I paused and smiled, "Lisanna."
