A/N: Hey, this is chapter 6 I hope you like it! It's mostly Natsu P.O.V because I am always doing Lucy P.O.V, so it's finally Natsu.
Day Six: Glory Days
Natsu P.O.V.
"Glory Days- A time in the past regarded as being better than the present." I read in a book that Lucy owned. What's it called... oh yeah, the dictionary. Now that I think about it, the days I spent with Igneel were probably one of the happiest days of my life. But then again, meeting Lucy was definitely the happiest day of my life. Not even Lisanna coming back from Edolas can top how I felt the day I locked eyes with Lucy in Hargeon. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be someone extremely special to me. I can't describe it... maybe it was love at first site? I don't know, but I do know what I feel for Lucy is definitely love... in a romantic way.
"Hey Luce?" I asked her. I don't know if she will answer because she is so into this new book that I bought her for her birthday. But, I'm glad she likes it.
"Yeah, Natsu? What is it?" Oh, she was paying attention.
"Do you think all of our good times are in the past and now we are just... living?" She closed her book and looked at me.
"Why would you think that, Natsu?"
"Well, I mean... I feel like we had a lot more fun before everything went... in another direction. I mean all we do is go on jobs and barely have fun anymore. Yeah, I love to fight but I mean look at us right now! You're reading when it's so beautiful outside! The one day we don't go to the guild we just sit inside all day. Let's face it our glory days are over." Lucy looked at me and then back at her hands.
"Do you really think that?" She asked me.
"Well, yeah... kinda." She looked kind of sad. Oh... now I'm going to make her cry! I started to smell a mixture of salt and water
"Luce... please don't cry... please?" I said as I ran over to her and hugged her. She started to cry into my shirt. I wonder why she's crying though...
"Natsu, I'm sorry. You're right. I've been thinking lately about all of the good times we used to have before the seven year gap... before we stopped having fun. Those days were some of our bests and our worsts. I mean, we've known each other technically for like 10 years now. I feel like I've known you my whole life though, and yet I feel like we haven't even really lived yet. I know because of the time gap we are older but I still feel and look younger then everyone. I feel like I've lost so much time... but I really haven't. I-I j-just d-don't w-want u-us t-to r-regret a-anything." She said while she started crying again. I never knew she felt that way because I feel the same.
"I agree with you Luce. I thought that after the Grand Magic Games we could all go on adventures and have fun again. But, the dragons came and we had to fight. I feel like we can never catch a break and when we do... we just don't know what to do anymore. I honestly love being a part of the guild, but sometimes it's tiring. When I met you I felt... something. I couldn't explain it but I knew that you were never going to leave my side and I wasn't leaving yours either. I hate seeing you sad and when you cry I want to cry. But when you smile and laugh I can't help but do the same. I don't know how much time we have left on this earth, and hopefully it's a long time. But I also don't want to regret anything. So I'm going to tell you how I feel about you." I paused for a second and she looked confused. Silly Lucy.
"I love you so much it hurts and I can't see my life without you. Like you said, I feel like I've known you my whole life. Being with Igneel were some of the greatest days of my life but not even Lisanna coming back to the guild made me as happy as I was when I first met you. I don't know when I started to feel something more for you but I've never felt this way before. So please, don't cry and smile for me because it pains me to see you sad." I said. Wow I can't believe I just confessed to her! She just looked into my eyes and then she smiled the biggest smile I've ever seen on her face.
"I love you too Natsu. I can't imagine my life without you as well and besides, it's always more fun when we're together... right?" Lucy said. Wait... she loves me. Yay! She loves me! So I bent down and kissed her. It was quick before I said something.
"Maybe those were our Glory Days. But, who says we can't have new adventures after those times are over. Besides, we both know that our lives would be so boring if we just stopped having any fun. Whenever I'm with you, I always have fun anyway." I said while smiling. She then had a smile plastered on her face as well.
"Me too Natsu... me too." Why is she so cute?
"Luce?" I asked. She looked up at me.
"Yeah?" She said.
"Well... does this mean that you'll be my girlfriend?" She looked at me and giggled.
"Of course! I'd love to." She said before she kissed me. This turned out to be better than the first. I pulled away first.
"Maybe... one day you can be Mrs. Dragneel... hmm?" I asked her. I mean, I'm not ready to get married yet, but I wouldn't mind marrying her.
"I wouldn't have it any other way, Mr. Dragneel." She said playfully. Thank god! I thought maybe she would say no. I looked at the clock and noticed that it was already really late.
"Hey... Luce, can I stay here tonight?" She just laughed and nodded.
"Why do you even ask, Natsu? You would anyway and the only reason I used to yell at you was because it would... kinda... embarrass me." She said shyly. She is so cute.
"Awe... I made you embarrassed, huh?" I said smugly. She just turned and gave me a glare.
"You could just go home if you are going to be smug." She said in a hushed tone.
"S-Sorry L-Luce... I'll be nice." She just smiled and patted my head.
"Good boy, now let's go to bed." She said as she climbed into the bed.
"I'm not a dog ya know..." I said while climbing in next to her.
"Yeah, I know. You're cute like one though. But, I'd rather have you be my dragon. Goodnight." Wow, never knew that. I just laughed.
"Okay, goodnight my princess." I said to her while she was already asleep. Soon enough sleep consumed me as well.
I bet Loke is crying his eyes out right now because I called her Princess.
Maybe those days we shared in the past were more fun than the ones now... but, I don't even think we've had our Glory Days yet... nope, not yet.
A/N: Hey guys, I know it's kind of short... sorry but I'll try to make the next one longer. Until next time...Bye :D
