Pairing Natsu x Lucy

Disclaimer It will never happen

Part Three

"Who are you?" She had to know who this vampire was.

"You don't remember me?" His voice was hurt.

"N-No, I don't remember much of when I was small, but I just have this feeling to trust you. I've met you before, haven't I?"

"I'm Natsu… Yeah, you have. We've met exactly four times." He smiled.

"Four?"

He nodded, "Four – When I saved you from Gajeel, when we took that photo, right now… and when we… kissed."

"W-We kissed?"

"Sure did," He blushed.

"!"

After hearing that they had kissed from Natsu, Lucy had fainted with her cheeks stained red. Natsu chuckled as he picked her up bridal style and took off to her house.

It seemed like her father wasn't home – again. He snuck in by the window and set her down on her bed. Natsu took off her shoes and coat and took a seat by the bed.

It was only ten minutes later that Lucy woke up, her face was now composed but you could still see a tint of pink on her cheeks. Natsu had did nothing but stare at her beauty as she was sleeping. She was just so beautiful that he couldn't keep his eyes away from her.

When Natsu saw her stirring he took his eyes away from her face and leaned back in the seat he occupied. Lucy got up into a seating position and looked around the room. Her eyes landed on the man sitting on a chair and she once again blushed.

"H-How did you get me here?" She asked, not looking at him directly.

"The window," Natsu pointed out. "Why?"

"Eh…?" Lucy's eyes widen. "T-The w-window, but that's… that's too high up!"

He shrugged like it was nothing, "Not really, I am a vampire after all."

Lucy fell silent. 'Of course! How stupid am I…'

"Are you always home by yourself?" He asked her.

Lucy took her time to answer his question. "Y-Yeah, most of the time, father is usually out for important meetings or personal things… but the maids are here so it's not really lonely."

Natsu nodded in understanding. He saw Lucy get out of bed and pull out another chair from the other side. She pulled it near Natsu and took her seat. Lucy looked up to Natsu with curious eyes and Natsu raised a brow.

"Natsu, do you mind telling me about… vampires?" She whispered the last word.

"Huh?" Natsu stared at Lucy and saw that she really wanted to know about his kind. "Umm sure I guess."

Lucy grinned, "Thank you!"

It took most of the day for Natsu to tell Lucy all about vampires. There were the good vampires that don't go for human blood, only on rare occasions and then there were the bad vampires who can't get enough of human blood.

Lucy was very frightened about those who loved human blood. Lucky Natsu wasn't one of them, he only had it on rare occasions – which Lucy was glad for. There were very strict rules that allvampires had to obey and Lucy had gotten very confused when he told her.

There were too many to remember for her, the only one she could remember was that a vampire cannot drink the blood of a human child. The rest she couldn't memorise, it was too complicated.

After telling her the rules he went on about his friends and which he didn't really have much of. Vampires didn't really go for friendship and relationship until they were older, but Natsu had made friends to a few because they were the ones who didn't drink human blood.

It was only natural for them, though most stayed alone whether being good or bad. The elders were either you could say, or… no one was entirely sure about the elders. They never went out, only for meetings and important things and even if you saw them they would have a cloak around them and a mask covering their face.

Natsu had told stories as well, about his adventures to other towns and places. Lucy was really interested and always leaned in closer to hear what he was saying. She couldn't get enough!

It was nearing midnight when Lucy was starting to get a bit sleepy now and Natsu could tell by looking at her eyes. He laughed at her and she suddenly widen her eyes in surprise.

"What's wrong?" She panicked.

"Nothing," He chuckled. "You should be getting to bed now, it's nearly midnight. We'll talk some more tomorrow."

"What? Why?" Lucy whined. "I'm not tired!"

Natsu shook his head, "Come on Lucy, I'll see you tomorrow, you need your sleep."

Lucy pouted and crossed her arms. "Fine," She huffed. "I'll be waiting behind my house at 10."

He laughed again, "Okay."

Natsu moved closer to Lucy and surprised her with a quick kiss. He smiled to her and walked to the windows. He waved a hand to her and then was gone in a blur.

That night when Lucy was about to go to sleep she felt happy and content, not like those other nights, when she was afraid to sleep because of the nightmares. Lucy pulled over the covers and got comfortable, the lights were already off and Lucy could no longer see the red eyes that had always haunted her.

Gazing from the tree that shadowed the room Natsu stood, his eyes locked on the sleeping beauty - his sleeping beauty. He smiled when he saw her face – happy and content. He was always going to be there for her – always.

Anyways, she was the one that befriended him at a really young age. When he had no one, she was always there. Yes, now it was his time to be there for her and to protect her.

"Sweet dreams, Lucy…"

Lucy, this night, didn't have any nightmares – no blood, fangs, red eyes - All she saw was a dream with the man she loved - The vampire she loved - The one with pink hair.
