A/N: Hey guys I'm so sorry that I haven't updated! Sorry I've been really busy... but I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Bonus Day: Cold

Lucy P.O.V.

Magnolia's weather is so annoying. One minute it's practically boiling and the next it's freezing. And of course it's freezing plus my heat isn't working. These are the times when I wish Natsu was here. Unfortunately Natsu and Happy are on a one month job and aren't coming back for another week. They were supposed to be back sooner but there is a blizzard currently covering Magnolia. And because of the snow, the trains aren't running so they have to walk... which Natsu probably is internally cheering about. I hate how he never gets cold and most of the time he is too oblivious to see that other people, especially me, are freezing. I'm way too cold to even get up and ask the landlady why the heat isn't working but, I probably should. So, I get up and put on a long sleeve shirt and some sweat pants. I reluctantly walked out of my apartment and down to the landlady's room. Before I can even knock she opens her door.

"Yes, Miss Heartfilia?" She asks me annoyed. I just look at her attire. She's in an oversized shirt and she looks warm.

"Umm... my heat isn't working and it's really cold." I'm afraid of her answer since she isn't the nicest person in the world.

"Lucy, the reason why your heat isn't working is because I did not receive this month's rent. So I couldn't pay for your heat to be turned on." She says rather nicely.

"I'm sorry... I haven't been on any jobs because Natsu has been away on one for a whole month..." I say rather sadly. She just looks at me and smiles.

"Let me see what I can do and when you get the money, you'll just pay me back." She says with sympathy in her voice. Wow... is this the same women for before?

"Thank you so much!" I say with a huge smile. She went to the front desk and called the heating company. She finally hangs up and looks at me sadly.

"I'm sorry dear, but they wouldn't budge. If you want you can stay with me for now." She says. I just nod my head.

"No, that's okay. I'll make do. But thank you and I'll get the money soon... I promise!" I said enthusiastically.

She smiled and said 'goodnight' and closed her door. I hurried back up the stairs and into my freezing apartment. I try and find as many blankets as possible and snuggle up on my bed. It's only 9 pm and I'm not really tired. I eventually stare off into my now dark apartment and the only thing I remember before I fell asleep was the sound of the howling wind.

When I woke up again I looked at the clock it said 2 am. I look out the window and the storm looks worse than the last time I checked. I start worrying about Natsu and Happy not making it back. Of course I would be paranoid about my two best friends and the love of my life. If anything happened to Natsu I think I would actually die. Just thinking about it makes me start crying. All I hear are my sobs and the howling winds before I fall asleep again.

"Hey Luce, why are you crying?" I heard Natsu say as he used his thumb to wipe my tears away.

My eyes quickly open and I see that nobody is there. I guess I was dreaming. I look at the time and see that it's now 3 am. I can't fall back to sleep because I'm so cold. I just stare at the window hoping it opens revealing my pink haired companion and his furry blue cat. A month away from them is too long and I'm starting to go a little crazy without them. I dream about Natsu every night and I can't go on any jobs without him because he wouldn't let me live it down if I did. I hear my window make a noise so I whip my head to look at it. Hoping its Natsu I feel joy but then I realize it was just the wind. Now I start to feel sad and lonely again and eventually I fall back asleep.

I wake up panicking over the dream I just had. Well it was more of a nightmare. Happy flew to the guild after their mission and told us that something bad happened to Natsu. I can't remember exactly what but all I know is that he was never coming back and the guild just wasn't the same. I remember walking to his grave that we made and told him that I was in love with him even though I would never hear it back. I started crying after recalling the dream. I've never dreamt something like that before and I never want to again. I shoved my face into my pillow and hid under the covers. I didn't hear my window open through my cries.

"Hey Luce, why are you crying?" Natsu said while kneeling beside my bed. I opened my eyes expecting this to be another dream but he was here and he was alive.

"Natsu...you're back…" I said before I pulled him into a hug. He just chuckled and hugged me back.

"I guess you missed me as much as I missed you. Huh, Luce?" He whispered. I nodded my head.

"I was crying because I was worried about you and I had a terrible nightmare." I told him. He just pulled back and held my chin.

"Why were you worried? And what did you dream about." He asked. I quickly moved over so he can sit on the bed with me. I forgot how cold it was and I immediately started shaking.

"Also, why is your room freezing? Was Gray in here?" he asked in a deadly tone. I just laughed.

"No Gray wasn't here and my heat stopped working because I didn't pay rent so I've been freezing all night due to the snow storm." He looked confused before pulling me closer to him.

"Why didn't you pay rent?" I looked at him skeptically. He can be so stupid sometimes.

"I couldn't go on any jobs while you were gone because I thought you would be mad. Plus, Gray wouldn't let me go on any solo missions because he said you would be mad at me." I said sheepishly.

"Well good, I didn't want you going on any jobs alone and especially not with ice prick." he said angrily.

"I was worried about you because of the bad storm I thought something could have happened. Then I had a nightmare t-that y-you d-died." I said while my voice cracked.

"I wouldn't just leave you like that! I would at least say goodbye." He said with his signature smile. God... I missed that smile. I just smiled and hugged him.

"Natsu... I have to tell you something." I said seriously as I pulled away from his embrace.

"Sure, you can tell me anything." He said with a smile.

"I-I... don't really know how to say this..." I sighed. He suddenly looked at me very seriously.

"Luce, I've been thinking about stuff over the past month and I finally figured out my feelings toward you." He said. Oh no... Is he going to say we should stay friends?

"Uh... okay." Was all I could say.

"Lucy... I'm in love with you. I have been for a while now and I realized how hard it is to not be around you. I was going crazy without you around." He said. I felt my heart stop for a second and then it started beating so rapidly.

"I-I l-love y-you t-too." I said shyly. I felt a blush creep onto my face and I tried to fight it off. Natsu then pulled me close and kissed me. People say that you usually feel a spark but all I felt was burning fire and I liked it. Natsu pulled away first.

"Lucy, will you be mine?" He asked sweetly. I smiled and nodded my head.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked him. He nodded his head. "Will you be mine... forever?" I said shyly. He smiled the biggest smile I've ever seen.

"Only on one condition." He said with a smirk. His eyes were burning with mischief.

"What is it?" I asked confused.

"Marry me." He demanded. He was definitely not taking no for an answer apparently.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." I said with a smile. He bent down to kiss me again.

"Someday you'll be Lucy Dragneel. And I love the sound of that." He whispered before kissing me. I smiled during the kiss because I started to love the sound of that too.

Lucy Dragneel. It's got a nice ring to it... right?

And now that I have Natsu forever, I'll never be cold again.
