Do not own Fairy Tail.

Natsu stood under a small beam of sunlight, coming in from an unfinished roof section. He had returned the book to Gajeel and been teased. It was very satisfying when he punched the metal muncher. Natsu closed his eyes and let the sunshine wash over him. He opened his eyes, picked up his hammer and returned to work.
Lucy made her way to Natsu, a plate of food in her hand. Natsu grinned when he saw his best friend walking towards him. The two sat together as the fire wizard ate, talking and laughing. Natsu asked about Happy, which Lucy explained that the blue Exceed was helping Wendy and Charle with a small job in town, mostly just to be with Charle.
Natsu thanked Lucy for the lunch and the company, as he set himself back to work. Lucy waved, then made her way back to the bar to drop off the dishes. She greeted Levy as she passed the script mage, promising she would come and sit with her after she was done with cleaning duty.

Lucy dodged Capricorns punch, then countered with a left jab, following with a right hook. Capricorn jumped back, smiling. He congratulated his mistress, then disappeared. Lucy panted, but smiled wide, she had finally hit him. She had no idea that a fire dragon slayer was cheering silently a few yards away.

Lucy walked out of her bathroom, a small pep in her step. Natsu was laying down in her bed, with his eyes closed and his hands behind his head. Lucy climbed in, causing the bed to shift. Natsu smiled, while the celestial mage got comfortable, he lowered his left arm and wrapped it around her.
"Luce?" Natsu questioned.
"Yeah?" she inquired.
"You were great tonight." he commented.
"What are you..?" she started, looking at him.
"I know about the training you're doing. I think it's great and I think you are doing an awesome job." Natsu cut in, staring into her eyes.
Lucy worried for a second, before Natsu spoke again.
"I get it, why you're training. I just wanted to tell you that I think you are an amazing woman, Lucy. A bit of a weirdo now and then, but you're my favorite weirdo." Natsu stated, his eyes holding a warmth and understanding.
Lucy smiled wide, leaned forward, and placed a soft kiss on Natsu's cheek. She fell asleep with her head on his shoulder, the fire wizard holding her close.

Side Note: Natsu does not think that Lucy is weak. During the fighting festival arc, Natsu told Gajeel that Lucy was strong and tough as nails.
