She heard everything weighed out! Plus I really didn't feel like writing a bunch of drama anyways. Here's the conclusion! Short and sweet, sorry it took so long for me to get around to it.


Lucy was frozen in the trees. She couldn't believe what she had heard. She followed Lisanna wanting to see if Natsu truly was going to confess to Lisanna...

Never in Lucy's dreams did she hope that he would confess his feelings about her.

It was too good to be true right?

Lucy's eyes widened as a sudden breeze lifted her hair and blew towards where her nakama were sitting at the edge of the cliff. She saw Natsu's shoulders become tense, and she prayed that he hadn't smelled her. Oh Mavis, how embarrassing would it be if they caught her eavesdropping? Plus what would she say to him? She needed time to think.

Quickly, she turned and brusquely walked away from the mages, trying to be quick yet silent. The twigs and leafs weren't helping though.

"Lucy?" A voice called out. His voice. He knew she was there.

Shit. She could come out and pretend she just got there? Or just fess up.

Orrrr... she could run.

She panicked, and chose the last option, although it wasn't the most logical.

She heard a shout of her name behind her as she sprinted through the forest.

...

"Lucy! Lucy stop!"

She kept pumping her legs to carry her father, faster. She couldn't face him right now!

"I don't know what you saw or heard but you must have misunderstood! Why are you running from me?!"

She felt a pang of guilt, he must be really confused. Oh no! She didn't want him to think she was rejecting him!

With this startling thought, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

"Gaah!"

Lucy yelped as she was flattened to the ground.

"What'd you stop so suddenly for idiot?" Natsu huffed, lifting his weight off her. But seeing her shuffle around, he feared that she would bolt again, so he rested his weight back on her.

"Hey! Ouch get off me you fattie!" She hollered, trying to bend her arm and swat him. She couldn't reach.

"No! You have to listen to me!"

Lucy squirmed a bit more before realizing it was futile. Natsu was heavier and stronger than she.

She groaned and planted her face on the ground in frustration. At least he couldn't see her face.

"Listen Luce. I don't... I don't know what you heard back there but... I guess it could have sounded bad. I wasn't saying all that stuff about Lisanna. I don't feel anything like that towards her! Believe me!"

Lucy snorted. She already knew that. She had heard everything.

Natsu took her snort as a sign of not believing him. He growled and rolled her over, still laying atop her.

"Lucy. I mean it! I don't like Lisanna that way! I...I actually. Um. I like.. you.."

He blushed red and looked away. Lucy thought it was adorable.

"And maybe you don't feel the same and that's fine. It's whatever, doesn't matter." The pain laced in his face and voice said otherwise.

Why was she even running from him? Of course he would have assumed the worse. She should have just faced him right then. She made him panic for no reason. Made him feel heartbreak and pain and loneliness when it was the exact opposite.

Well she would fix that. She grabbed his face and turned him towards her, making him look her in the eye. She could see how nervous and scared he was of her answer.

She smiled brightly at him, to reassure him. He blinked in surprise.

"Uh, do you-"

His lips were warm, and softer than she expected. She had thought they would be chapped and rough, but they were smooth and so pleasingly warm.

Natsu eagerly responded after he got over his initial shock. He kissed her silly, and Lucy wasn't complaining. Finally, they both pulled away gasping.

"Well... I wasn't expecting that." Natsu admitted.

Lucy chuckled. "Me either. I thought you liked Lisanna..."

Natsu caressed her cheek. "I'll admit that I used to have a little crush, back when we were kids. But when she... disappeared, I got over it. And then I met you. And you are so much more than just a crush. There was never any decision to make, I will always choose you."

Lucy smiled widely. "Glad we're finally on the same page."
