*Only You*

Normal P.O.V.

Lucy delivered one final Lucy kick to one of the bandits that she and Natsu were fighting, while Natsu took care of two other bandits. Once the bandit Lucy was fighting finally fell down completely knocked out, a whole other wave of bandits came up from behind Lucy, and charged for her. Lucy tried to fend for herself as best as she could, but they were too strong. They were landing blow after blow on her, this was it Lucy thought to herself. This would be the mission that she would get what was coming to her, a serious beating, even worse than the one given by Flare at the grand magic games, or worse… death. Little did Lucy know that Natsu had finished taking care of the two bandits he was originally fighting, and saw the bandits hitting her, and right when a bandit was about to deliver another something blocked it….. and without a doubt there was her dragon…..Natsu.

"What are you doing?" Natsu growled angrily at the bandit who tried to hit her.

The bandit grins wildly at Natsu, "Why can't you see? I'm taking care of this pretty little lady right here."

"Touch her one more time, and you'll see what happens!" Natsu even angrier then before.

"Oh," the bandit replies, "I'll do more than touch her… I'll hit her! Hahahahahaha." The bandits laugh maniacally.

"All I'm all fired up now! You gonna pay for even thinking about touching Lucy!" Natsu bellows, lights himself on fire, and screams, "Fire dragon ROAR!" Natsu continue, "I'll burn you to a crisp!" dragon wings and horns now show up upon his figure.

"I'm sorry!" the bandit cries, "aaaahhhhh" as he is being burned to a crisp.

Once the bandit was destroyed, Natsu stays quite, grabs Lucy, and they both go back to Lucy's apartment. Once they are inside they both sit on the bed…..in silence.

"Natsu?" Lucy says her voice barely above a whisper.

All of sudden Natsu starts laughing, a natural true happy laugh, "you know what Luce?"

Lucy feels immediately relaxed, now that Natsu is calling her by her nickname, and smiles, "Yes Natsu?"

Natsu's heart flutters at the sight of her smile, so bright, dazzling, shimmering, and bright.

"Natsu?" Lucy once again asks still smiling.

"You're the only one who can set my soul on fire." Natsu replies blushing.

"Is that so?" Lucy asks raising her eyebrow, "You know what Natsu? You set my fire heart on fire too?"

"Yah, I know you weirdo." Natsu says teasingly, then hugs her, and they both lay down on the bed.

"Are you sure I'm the weirdo?" Lucy says muffled buried in Natsu's chest.

"Yes, you're a weirdo, but you're my weirdo." He whispers in her ear, which makes her shiver, and with that thought they fall asleep.
