Sequel!

{Love is never truly forgotten.}

Natsu watched from afar. That's all he seemed to do these days. Watching. Not stalking, just...watching. Looking out for her and protecting her when needed. As long as her smile lit up her face he was okay. Though he hated the feeling of emptiness he felt whenever she looked past him in the halls.

He was assigned once more even though he had refused so. Assigned to her classmate, Dan Straight. Natsu disliked Dan even before he became his servant, knowing he had a certain liking to Lucy.

And the feeling grew over time, Dan wasting two wishes on stupid things I wish for Lulu-chama's brush! I wish for a mango smoothie!

Lucy never went through wishes so quickly. She had made him wait nearly a whole year before he was sent back. Though honestly, he didn't really mind spending time with her.

Dan walked up to Natsu with a grin on his face, his arm around an annoyed looking blonde. Dan knew all the qualities of a genie, how the rules prohibited the genie from showing themselves.(Something Natsu had done countless times) So when Lucy froze in her tracks, her eyes widening in shock.

"Y-You!" She shouted, pointing an accusing finger at Natsu. He quirked an eyebrow, turning around to see if someone was behind him. Seeing no one there he gawked at the blonde in surprise.

"You can see him?" Dan asked in surprised, his eyebrows furrowing in anger. He shot Natsu a dangerous glower, Natsu meeting it with his own heated stare. Lucy nodded her head, taking a step back, a creeped out look on her face.

"I've...I've seen him before." She answered truthfully, her eyes searching his face. Natsu looked down sadly, a wistful smile coming to his face once more. He wished she could remember. If only he could have a genie...as if..

"So you've been showing yourself?" Dan growled, anger etched on his face. Natsu rolled his eyes, scowling at him.

"Calm down stalker boy, I haven't done such a thing." He mocked, crossing his arms with a smirk. Lucy furrowed her eyebrows like she was searching for something. Natsu felt his chest rise in hope, watching as she looked from him to the floor and so forth.

"No..I've seen him before...before...when?" Lucy grumbled to herself, bugged. She had to remember, it'd kill her if she didn't.

"Blondie..." Natsu murmured sadly, not able to meet her gaze. Grief overcame him and he felt his shoulders become heavy with heartache.

"Tell her where you've seen her!" Dan demanded. Natsu cursed in his head, knowing he'd have to obey an order from his master.

"Would you believe me if I said that...we were in love?" Natsu chuckled humorlessly to himself, knowing she'd find this ridiculous. He put his hands in his shorts pockets, looking to the floor in bittersweet reminisce.

"What?!" Both Dan and Lucy hollered at the same time, jaws dropped. Natsu would've found the look funny in any other given situation, but not this pain in his heart stretched, making him sigh.

"Nevermind." He murmured, brushing it off. He knew it was useless; she'd never remember him.

"No! Tell me!" Lucy demanded, taking a step towards Natsu. She looked exactly the same, making him smirk.

"As you wish, blondie." He said sarcastically before feeling his chest tighten, his eyelashes beating furiously to keep the sadness from his eyes.

"I...I feel like I know you." Lucy blushed bashfully, looking away from him. The bittersweet smile came back to his lips, making him heave a sigh.

Dan watched closely, not liking this one bit. Without thinking, he blurted out "I wish for Lucy-chan's love!" Making both the pinkette and blonde turn to him.

"What?!"

"No!"

They screamed at the same time. Lucy disbelieving and Natsu protesting. He looked clearly upset and panicked, his breathing quickening.

"You have to! You're my genie!" Dan smirked like he had won, crossing his arms over his chest. He watched Natsu pace in distress, casting a glance at Lucy. He stopped, walking over to her quietly. Lucy watched him carefully as he stood in front of her, staring down at her. His look made her heartbeat quicken for some reason, a weird tug pulling her towards him.

"I love you." He whispered, dipping down to capture her lips with his own. Lucy's eyes popped in complete shock, not in a million years had she ever thought he'd do that.

And when he pulled back tears pooled in both of their eyes, and that's when Lucy knew he would utter the three words that would break her heart.

"As you wish."

Where was he from? Why did he seem familiar? And how was his hair pink!?

"My name is Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu grinned cheekily. The teacher introduced him afterwards, assigning Lucy to tour him around. Lucy felt something constrict in her heart, a curious glance cast his way. He just grinned innocently at her, taking his seat.

Lucy dismissed it, doodling in her notebook. Natsu cast a sideways glance in her direction, a soft smile coming onto his lips.

Lucy...

"So this is the auditorium and...will you stop staring at me please?" Lucy narrowed her eyes at the Natsu kid who only smiled, as if he were enjoying this.

"Whatever you say blondie." Natsu grinned, his hands in his pockets. Lucy jumped as if she were electrified, her eyes widening.

"W-What did you call me?" Lucy asked him shakily. Natsu rose an eyebrow at her, wondering what she was talking about.

"Blondie...?"

"I-I-did you
