Sorry for taking a while to update. Sorry this chapter is short but it is going to be about the relationship between Natsu and Lucy. Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
Chapter 5
Lucy rolled over and felt someone beside her. Surprised, she jumpped up and saw that it was Natsu. She had asked him to stay with her over a week ago, and he hadn't left since. He followed her around like a lost puppy and she didn't have the heart to tell him to leave. Natsu rolled over and looked up at her. "Still not used to waking up next to someone as good looking as me?" She stood up and threw a pillow at him.
"I'm going to take a bath." She stomped out of the room and Natsu laughed. Erza had told Lucy everything that Natsu ahd tried to keep from her. Everything from the newly discovered dragon slayer to the fact that someone was after her. What Lucy didn't know, was that Natsu was given the job of protecting Lucy until they figured out why she was being hunted. They were both ordeder not to take any more jobs for the time being. Some how, he had managed to get Happy to stay at Fairy Tail. He was busy pestering Carla and trying to get her to like him.
Natsu was laying on the bed, looking out of the window when he heard Lucy scream. He ran to the bathroom door. "Lucy! What's wrong?" There was a moment of silence and then a soft reply. "I... I'm fine." He could hear her sobbing and decided to chance his luck. "Lu... I'm coming in." He waited a few moments and then opened the door. She had turned off the water and was sitting on the floor wrapped in a towel. Her hands were covering her face, but he could see that she was crying. He sat down next to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"What's wrong?" He asked. His voice sounded like velvet to her, soft and comforting. Not wanting to hold back anymore, she threw her arms around him. With her head against his chest, she sighed. "I'm afraid." He held her tightly and stroked her hair. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll always be here to protect you." He kissed the top of her head and she looked up at him. He couldn't bear to see her cry, so he closed his eyes.
Lucy took advantage of the Salamander's pitty. While his eyes were still closed, she kissed his lips lightly. His eyes flew open and she could see that he was clearly surprised. "Thank you." He kissed her this time and it seemed as if she melted against him. "You don't have to thank me. I protect the people I care about." She blushed and hid her face against his chest. He was so sweet when they were together and it made it easy for her to care about him too.
"I'll never let anyone hurt you again." He hugged her tightly and she sucked in a deep breath. "Natsu... I" She looked up at him with her big eyes. "I LOVE YOU! She blurted it out and then jumpped up. She was almost to the door when he grabbed her wrist. "Don't run from me after saying something like that. I love you too, Lucy." He put his hand under her chin and lifted her face up to his. He kissed her lightly and they both smiled.
I know that was really short, but let me know what you think! Thanks so much for reading and look for my next chapter soon! :D
