Lucy POV
We stopped kissing for a while and looked at each other and I decided to speak. "You said you thought I loved you… What do you think now?" Natsu smiled. "I know you love me… I hope you do at least," I laughed and nodded. "Yes I love you Natsu..." He smiled and then remembered something. "So how did you get so strong Luce?" I sighed remembering he wasn't there when I told the guild. I told him the story and brought out all of my keys. Adding on to my gold keys were my platinum keys which were for all of the dragons, gods, angels, demons, giants, phoenixes, and wolves that I was training with. I had the gold and silver ones on my keychain like usual, but I requipped all of my platinum. I had separate key chains for the different realm creatures and brought out the dragon ones. Natsu watched wide eyed as I held out a platinum and red one with flame designs running along the side. He just looked at the key and then looked at me. "I-is that..."
"Igneel? Yes it is, but it takes a ton of magic energy summoning him, so in a fight, he is really my biggest chance of winning…" I smiled and Natsu held the key in his hand. "So you trained with Igneel? Does that make you my sister!?" I covered my mouth to hide a puke and cringed. I was about to yell at him for saying such a thing, when Igneel's key started glowing and I smiled. "Looks like someone wants to see you," Natsu looked at me with nothing but joy, and I held out the key. "Open! Gate of the fire dragon! Igneel!" A tiny yellow cloud appeared and when it cleared, there sitting on the bed was a laughing Igneel- in human form might I add. I tried to hid the painful look from magic depletion and smiled. "That's not Igneel!... But it does smell like him..." Natsu looked closely at Igneel and the red headed man stopped laughing and smiled. "Natsu, you sure have grown! I see you have found a girl, and my my my, Lucy! I knew you were telling me how you were in love with Natsu, but this is too much!" My face flushed red and I glared at Igneel. "You stupid lizard! Why was your key glowing anyway!?" He started laughing again.
"Well, I heard what Natsu said about you and him being brother and sister and I thought it was the most stupid thing I have ever heard, so I wanted to come out and say that," He grinned identical to Natsu and then hit the pink haired mage with his hand. "You dimwit! Don't say that to Lucy! It's stupid!" Natsu held his head where Igneel hit and muttered a sorry under his breath.
They smiled and we all laughed while Igneel shared stories of Natsu as a kid which made me laugh, and then moved on to sharing stories of me which made Natsu laugh. I didn't find them as funny as the rest of them did, but it was nice seeing Natsu and Igneel laughing again. I was feeling tired and Igneel sensed it.
"I see Lucy is getting tired. I will return to my realm, but promise me you will summon me in a larger area next time. My dragon form is more comfortable!" Natsu spoke up, "And way cooler!" Igneel smiled and vanished and I looked outside. It was pitch black beside the street lights outside. Natsu looked at me. "I better get going..." He stood up and hopped on the window. He was about to jump when I jumped up. "W-wait!" He looked at me surprised and hopped back into the room. "Yeah Luce?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to sleep here tonight… I have been having nightmares and I haven't b-been getting good s-sleep. You don't have to… It was a stupid question really..." Natsu laughed looking at my face. I knew he was amused and I looked away. "Sure Luce! I can sleep on the couch and grab a bl-" I interrupted him. "Actually… I was wondering if you wanted to sleep in the bed… with me?" Natsu looked away. "O-oh… Yeah s-sure L-luce!" He said and I laughed. "Shut up..." he mumbled getting into bed. We stayed kinda far apart until I got uncomfortable and shifted my foot. It brushed his foot and he flinched. "S-sorry," I said moving my foot back. "No problem..." he mumbled and we stayed silent for a while.
I couldn't sleep. I don't know why I asked him to sleep with he was going to stay on the other side of the bed! I was freezing and I knew his body heat was radiating off him. I know I am a dragon slayer, but I was a trained dragon slayer, he was born with a naturally heated body. I shivered and felt something coming but I didn't know what.
"Achoo!" Oh, that was it… I sneezed. "You still awake?" Natsu asked and I laughed. "Can't sleep… You?" "Same," We stayed in silence and I was soon shivering. Natsu shifted and faced me. He was smiling. "You cold?" I pouted. "W-what? No way!" I sneezed again, and I was pulled into a hug by Natsu. He laughed. "You are too cute you know that?" I smiled and took in the heat. Our feet tangled within one another and I put my head on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat and I felt myself moving into a dream. I sighed contently and Natsu kissed my forehead. "Goodnight Luce," He said tiredly and I knew he needed this as much as I did. "Goodnight… Natsu," I said before being consumed into my dreams.
I woke up feeling like I had the best sleep of my life. I was warm, but not too hot, and my vision (Vision! Infinity War!) came back to me and I saw a snoring Natsu smiling in in sleep. I poked his nose and he laughed softly, having a nice dream. I tried to get out, but his smile vanished and had a frown on his face and hugged me tighter. I blushed when he mumbled in his sleep "M-mine..." I struggled. "Natsu!... Ugh… I have to take a bath, I smell bad, and I will make you breakfast. Please?" he smiled and opened one eye. His voice was raspy and I shivered. "I will think about it… Can I have double the food I usually get?" I thought about it and smiled. "Fine… Now let me go!" He reluctantly let me go and I took a shower and made breakfast.
I wore an orange blouse and some light blue capris. Natsu walked into the kitchen and looked at all of the food. "So Luce, you are on the team for Grand Magic Games?" he asked and I smiled. "Oh yeah! We are going to win just like last year! And this time nothing bad will happen!" I stood up and almost knocked the table over. "Jeez Luce, don't turn into me!" He said and suddenly I heard an annoying little voice. "I always thought Lushi was clumsy, but this is too much! She looks a bit fatter as well!" Happy giggled flying into the kitchen.
"How did you get in here you stupid cat!?" I tried smacking him but he dodged. I huffed and sat back down, eating a ton of food along with Natsu. Soon we finished breakfast and headed to the guild. One the way there we stayed in silence until Natsu spoke up.
"So in the Grand Magic Games, are you planning to use different magic?" I thought about it.
"I don't know if I am ready yet. Last year, I was the like the weakest person in the games and didn't win a single match. If other guilds saw me now… I just think I am nervous to show off my new magic, and if I lose, then I will be known as the we-" I was stopped. "Luce, you are the strongest mage competing and I know that you won't lose, and if you do, then I will love you anyway, all of Fairy Tail will. We are family. Remember that. Plus, you losing now? Don't make me laugh! You are super strong! I would be scared if I was another guild!" His hand lit aflame and he laughed thinking about scaring other guild members. I smiled and we talked about how I should maybe stick with celestial magic, and use other magic as a last result. "That's means you would be able to summon the dragons and stuff!" I looked at Natsu and shook my head. "I don't know if I should… I mean summoning a dragon can be a bit dangerous..." I sweatdropped thinking of Igneel burning everyone.
We got to the guild and opened the new doors. "Lucy, there you are! I have a few questions." Erza came and took me away from Natsu. "I went to Natsu's house last night to ask him about our locations for training and strangely he wasn't there. Happy came flying into the room and told me he was at your house and wasn't back yet… Did he abuse you? I will murder him! NATSU!" Erza broke into a yell and Natsu looked in our direction. "I didn't do it! It was Gray!" He yelled and I blushed thinking he said the worst thing right then. "Gray! You took Lucy's virginity!? I WILL RIP YOU APART!" she took Gray by his foot and walked out the guild doors dragging Gray. I looked at Natsu and he shrugged and I glared at him.
A few bangs and groans later, Gray came in covered in bruises cursing at Natsu. Erza followed smiling triumphantly. "He will not be bothering you again, I can assure you that Lucy. Tell me if you need any more help!" I shook my head vigorously. "I think I am fine… Thanks Erza..." She smiled and walked away ordering a strawberry cake. Master came out of his office.
"Listen up Brats! We will be training in the East forest next to the Crocus Resort! We leave at noon! Pack your things!" He was already wearing a tropical shirt, with some shorts and flip flops. The guild rushed out the doors and I looked at the time. "What the heck!? It's 10:30! How am I supposed to pack everything in that time!?" I ran home and didn't waste time summoning Virgo and Loke. I yelled at them to pack everything needed for a months worth of training and some nice clothes. Crocus Resort has some nice things there! Maybe Natsu and I cou- NO! This is training time!... But-
"Hime, we are all done, and it is 11:45." Virgo told me and held out two small bags. "Where is the rest of it!?" I asked. "I put it in the spirit realm so you didn't have to pack so many things." I thanked her and they vanished and I ran out the doors. I made it there is time to see I was the last person there. "Lucy, what took you so long? And why do you only have two small bags?" Gray asked gesturing to my small travel bags. I told them about the spirit realm holding my stuff and did and example calling out Virgo and having her take the giant wagon of Erza's things. Erza smiled and looked at the rest of the contestants. "Remember this is not a time for leisure. We are going to train and win the Grand Magic Games!" Everyone cheered and I smiled.
Here we go!
