Disclaimer~ I GlenCocoSavesTheDay does not own Fairy Tail, my ships would have sailed by now. But they will, THEY WILL I TELL YOU! The fabulous cover is not made by me but is made by yoriru from tumblr, go check her out!
Authors Note~ Please remember Natsu is now human! Again super sorry for the late update! I think I need to change up my schedule a little because I have finals coming up! So every four days I will post a new chapter. I know, I suck. My schedule will turn back to normal after Friday because that's my last day of school! I just really have to focus on my finals and then I'm free! I'm so excited that I think I might puck, just kidding that's really gross. Also new characters should show up in this chapter, but I'm not making any promises! Anyways enough with my boring talking, On with the story!
Natsu giggled like a little girl as I pulled him out of the room. I couldn't help but think the roles were a bit reversed right now. Natsu was usually the one to drag me out of the room to only god knows where. I guess his habits are rubbing off on me, hopefully not too much. Natsu's giggles subsided as his walking came to a halt.
"What's the rush?" Natsu whined. I stopped walking, because there was no way I could pull Natsu even if I have grown stronger. Is he seriously asking me that? I mean Mira said she wanted us to meet her after eating and getting dress, so we are.
"We need to go see Mira because she needed to tell us something." I sighed. Maybe Natsu chose to be dense at certain times and moments, that would make a lot of sense.
Natsu wasn't as dense as I thought he was, I found this out the hard way. Just this morning he was all ready to go and start the baby making, how embarrassing! Do you want to know what's even more embarrassing? Natsu knew just by looking in my eyes that I was ready, but I'm not! People might say I'm in denial, that is completely true.
Natsu will so be the death of me one day. Maybe he will listen to Mira and wait 'till were married, that will give me time to think about it all. It's not that I don't want to do that with Natsu, I'm just scared. I was about to start pulling Natsu's arm again until Natsu said something that could not be ignored.
"Hey Lucy?" Natsu asked as he gripped my hand. I turned around and faced him, his face was very flushed. Was he not feeling well? He was fine just a few minutes ago. Natsu looked as if he was going to explode. Maybe he had to use the bathroom, why would he need to tell me that anyways?!
"What is it Natsu?" I asked. Natsu gripped my hand tighter as he glanced at me, but then quickly looked away. I swear he can change from being blunt to shyness in seconds. Natsu is usually very blunt and says anything that comes to mind, he looked like he was thinking very hard.
Natsu, thinking hard?! That's a new one. Okay maybe that's a little mean, I've been around Gajeel too much. What I mean is Natsu usually does things and says things without thinking, so what's troubling him now?
"I-I don't want you to," Natsu stuttered. What was he trying to say? What does he not want me to do? He doesn't want me to eat cake? Natsu didn't finish his sentence because he was suddenly hugging me. It's not a weird thing that he's hugging me, it's that he's squeezing me to death right now.
"N-Natsu you're killing me." I gasped. Natsu chuckled a little as he pulled back only a little so I could view his face. Natsu looked, extremely worried. Was he trying to hide it this whole time. Why did he look as if he was going to explode, can't he just tell me!? I quickly put both of my hands on his cheeks, I needed his full attention.
"What's wrong." I said as I put my forehead on top of his, which made me stand on my tipi-toes. This was something Natsu and I do when we want each other to understand one another. He started it so I guess I just am doing the same thing he would do.
Natsu seemed to do it a lot to me, so I thought I should do it back. Natsu stared into my eyes as if they were the night sky, why did he have to stare so intently? The urge to look away was eating at me slowly. I felt like I was in a staring competition, I'm so going lose if that's the case. I need to do this for him, he needed me right now.
I need to know why he was looking as if I stabbed him in the heart. Why was there such a painful expression on his face. Did I say something wrong? I don't remember saying anything to offend him. Natsu's cheeks grew very pink, pinker than his hair.
"I don't want you to leave my side." Natsu sighed as he pushed me down so I was no longer trying to be taller than him. Natsu leaned down and captured my lips, I didn't know how to react. Natsu's kiss was very passionate, as if he never wanted to let go of me. I wasn't going to leave his side, so why was he saying such things?
I gasped when Natsu pushed me into the tunnel wall and trapped me between his arms. Whoa there dragon boy, slow your role. Where did this side even come from? Natsu put a hand up to my cheek while I put one in his hair, to toy with his soft pink hair. Natsu deepened the kiss when he bit my bottom lip, he drew blood! Natsu smirked as he stuck his tongue into my mouth to toy with mine.
Natsu ended the kiss but didn't pull back, he started to nuzzle his nose into mine. Natsu was being so affectionate as always. What did he mean when he didn't want me to leave his side, I promised him I would never leave him. Does he doubt me?
"Why did you say that?" I questioned. Natsu was a bit surprised by my question, he really shouldn't be. I wanted answers now, not later. He needed to elaborate so I could understand what he needs.
"I don't want you to leave me," Natsu mumbled as he lowered his head into the crook of my neck. "I need you Luce." Those four words made my heart burst out of my chest, his words cut me like daggers. Natsu's sweet words will surely be the death of me.
"Elaborate please." I said. Natsu pulled his head back and stared into my eyes. This is where I become squeamish under his gaze, how could I not? His dark onyx eyes bore into mine, here we go with the staring competition again!
"The dream," Natsu muttered. "If you do go to save the kingdom, let me go with you." Natsu looked close to tears. His heart was such a fragile one, he doesn't show this side often. I'm glad we are close enough to share such deep thoughts and worries to one another. I'm really glad I got someone as special as he is.
I can understand why he was so upset. No one wants the one they love to leave them. It's actually very simple to understand Natsu's emotions right now. But for some reason I feel as if Natsu has mood swings here and there, oh that's just great. I hope dragons don't have some time of the month because that will surely be hell for me.
"Of course," I smiled. "Where would I be without my brave dragon!" Natsu chuckled as he lifted me up and began to spin me around, I was getting a bit dizzy though. Moment's like this are the ones I will cherish forever, and never forget. Natsu cackled as he tossed me over his shoulder and ran down the hallway.
"W-What the heck Natsu!" I yelped as I pounded on his back. I swear this is not okay! This dress is not that long, I think I feel a breeze. Natsu shifted me a bit on his shoulder and slowed his pace, a fat joke was surely to come.. or not.
"I just wanted to hold you." Natsu laughed. I bet he was grinning like a big idiot, I can't really see his face at the moment. I knew my face was red, I could feel the heat on my cheeks. I pretty sure my panties are showing, why does Natsu Dragneel do this to me.
"That's quite nice but I can feel a breeze." I mumbled. Natsu snickered a little, he heard me. I knew his stupid super hearing could hear me. I stopped my attempts to escape and just sighed as Natsu carried me.
"I don't feel any breeze." Natsu snorted. Oh now he was just toying with me. I let of a cry of distress and hit Natsu's back once more, nothing. My strength is weak compared to his, I'm not really bother by it though.
Natsu began to hum a tune as he had a slight skip in his step. That tune, he was humming it in that weird dream. My mother's tune, I loved this little tune she made up. I was now starting to relax, but that did not last long.
"What the fuck?" Gajeel coughed as he continued to brush his teeth at his door. Natsu hissed as he covered my butt with his hand. My face was now a hundred times redder than it was a minute ago.
"Don't look metal brows." Natsu hissed. Gajeel scoffed as he pulled his toothbrush from his mouth.
"Bunny girl doesn't look to happy with your hand on her ass." Gajeel cackled. Natsu growled as he punched Gajeel in the face, the toothbrush broke.
"I will touch her where ever I want because she's mine!" Natsu growled as he knocked heads with his metal browed cousin. Oh Natsu so did not say that! I am going to Lucy kick him into next week if he dares say such a thing like that again.
"What are you two fools doing to Lu-chan?" Levy yawned as she came out of the room in a night gown. Gajeel quickly took his attention off of Natsu and stared at Levy. Levy looked a bit ticked off, she was probably sleeping and was woken up by the ruckus they were causing.
"I was just causally coming out of the room while brushing my teeth," Gajeel scoffed as he looked down at the broken toothbrush on the ground. "And all of a sudden I got a full face of strawberry panties!" Natsu growled and was ready to punch Gajeel in the face, he didn't get the chance to though.
"You stupid porcupine!" I hissed as I kicked Gajeel in the jaw. Levy gave me a thumbs up as Gajeel slumped onto her shoulder. I must have kicked him pretty hard because I can feel my ankle aching, stupid bastard saw it coming!
"That hurt even though I turned my cheek to metal!" Gajeel whined as he put a hand up to his slightly bruised cheek. I didn't care if my ankle was a bit hurt, I finally got Gajeel fair and square.
"I win!" I cackled as Natsu laughed along with me. Levy rolled her eyes with a slight smile on her face.
"I will eat you alive bunny girl." Gajeel growled. How dare he?! Does he want another kick to the face?
"You will do no such thing to Lu-chan." Levy grinned as she grabbed onto Gajeel's ear lobe. Gajeel grunted a little but did nothing. Levy so had him whipped.
"We'll see you guys later we got to talk to the she-demon." Natsu grinned and began to walk away.
"Bye bye strawberry panties!" Levy and Gajeel waved at me. Levy no! She has fallen to the dark side! I have been betrayed. I guess this is what I get for kicking Gajeel in the jaw.
"I will kill you two pervert!" I exclaimed as I pointed at the couple and glared at Gajeel as we walked away from his door. Levy cackled as she whacked Gajeel on the head, Gajeel began to argue with her. Levy smiled and winked at me as she pulled Gajeel back into the bedroom.
"Did that just really happen." I groaned. Natsu nodded his head as he moved his hand. His hand was still on my butt. I was going to whack him and threaten his food if he doesn't remove his hand right now.
"You are pushing your luck Pinky!" I growled as I elbowed Natsu in the back of his head. Natsu groaned as he quickly put a hand on the back of his head. Aha! I have found his weak spot! I was so use this to my advantage!
"I think it's super sexy when you get all angry." Natsu chimed as he shifted me into a more comfortable position. I gasped at his comment, he so did not just say that! I think my face is going to explode because of how hot it is.
"Why do you do these things to me Natsu Dragneel?" I groaned and slumped down on his shoulder.
"I should be asking you the same question." Natsu grunted as he came to a stop. What the heck did he mean by that? Anyways were we here already? Is Natsu ever going to let me use my own two feet? So many questions that will probably never be answered if I ask Natsu.
"How do you know Mira is in the kitchen?" Natsu asked as he set me down onto the ground. Thank you god! I thought I would never be put down! Natsu did have a good question though. I just assumed she was in the kitchen considering she made breakfast and might be still eating.
"You're a smart man." I sighed as I looked to my right. There was a huge brown door with a food sign at the top. How cute! It looks like Happy eating some fish, who made these signs anyways?
"Natsu?" I asked. Natsu looked down at me and came super close to my face. Here we are a third time, staring competition has commenced. Natsu smiled a little, but not too much.
"What is it Luce?" Natsu asked. Natsu smile grew bigger as he leaned closer, now we were nose to nose.
"I was wondering who made those signs," I giggled. "I've seen them above every door." Natsu pulled back and sighed as he leaned on the wall next to him. Natsu looked a little sad as he looked up at the sign.
"My mother made them with me." Natsu said with a sad smile. Oh, I didn't expect that. I expected to hear he got it as gift from someone or they were made from magic. It's kind of sweet when you think of a small Natsu making the signs with his mother.
"Well you guys did an amazing job at making them." I beamed. Natsu snapped out of his slum and smiled. Natsu stood up straight and put his hand on the door knob.
"Thank you so much Lucy." Natsu smiled as he leaned in for a kiss. Of course I accepted his sweet short kiss. I wonder what Natsu was thanking me for, being nice? Natsu Dragneel will always have me at lost for words. Natsu pulled back and opened the door to reveal Erza and Jellal, making out on the kitchen table.
"N-Natsu." I stuttered while tugging on Natsu's sleeve. Natsu stared in horror at the two playing tonsil hockey on the table. All of a sudden a moan left Erza's lips as Jellal began to suck on her neck, and that's when Natsu quickly closed the door. I looked up at Natsu, we had the same expression. I think I'm going to be scarred for life.
"T-They were really going at it." Natsu said in horror. I nodded my head. Did they even know that we were there? They were making out, on the kitchen table! That's so unsanitary, they better clean it after words.
"I-I'm never eating at that table again." I stuttered. No way, you would have to pay me big time money to make me sit there. Oh my gosh! I'm mean that stuff is perfectly fine when you're with your partner, but lock the door next time!
"They didn't even notice us." Natsu said in disbelief. Well they were getting hot and heavy, I don't think they would have noticed even if I threw a spatula at them. That will forever scar me and I don't even think I'll ever look at them the same again.
"L-Lucy!" Natsu whispered as he gripped onto my arm. What now? I could hear creaking at the door, as if someone was standing on the other side. Natsu glanced around the tunnel quickly and let out a silent sigh of relief as he spotted a green door to our left.
Natsu picked me up so fast that I got a little bit of a head rush. Natsu carried bridal style as he rushed over to the door. Natsu fumbled in his pocket for something, a key? Natsu pulled a green key out and fumbled with the lock.
Natsu cried with glee as he pushed the door open, I could hear the kitchen door opening also. The last thing I heard before entering the room was Erza's voice.
"Anyone there?" Erza called out into the now empty hallway. Natsu closed the door silently and leaned against. I could see Natsu was sweating, I think I was too. Natsu let out a sigh of relief when we heard a door closing.
"We are now safe." Natsu panted. I giggled lightly and let out a small sigh. I thought I was going to be killed. Erza can be very scary, imagine if she saw us there. We would be dead meat.
"Where are we though?" I asked. I looked around the room, it seemed like a garden. There was huge tree in the middle of the room, it went through the ceiling. There was window at the top of the wall which shined light into the room. Natsu set me down and gripped my hand.
"This is the only thing I have left of my mother." Natsu grinned as he pulled me with him over to the tree. Now that we were closer to the tree, I could see a grave stone. There were at least more than a dozen fresh flowers surrounding the grave.
"This place is beautiful." I said in amazement. This place was breathtaking. The grass felt amazing under my feet, it was so soft. I wonder if Natsu takes care of this place, he does disappear out of my sight sometimes.
"I've been taking care of this place since I was seven," Natsu kneeled in front of her grave. "It was her dying wish." I kneel down next to Natsu and looked at the grave. The grave had a picture of a young woman there, she was gorgeous. She had long pink hair exactly like Natsu's, I see where he get it from. I felt as if I knew her though, but that's impossible.
The woman was smiling down at child she held in her hands. It was Natsu, they had the same facial structure. The man next to her had red hair, it was a younger Igneel. Igneel looked so happy, he was truly smiling. It didn't seem forced, it was beautiful. I wanted to cry, I'm such a baby.
"Your mother was a very pretty woman." I commented. Natsu nodded as he looked up at the tree in thought. I looked at the headstone and saw the words that were craved in there. It read:
Here lies the magnificent woman!
She was a loving mother and wife.
She was loved by many and will be missed.
A woman like her will never be forgotten.
We will always love you.
As I read those words, I felt my cheek become wet. I was crying, I wanted to sob until there were no tears. I quickly went to wipe away my tears but Natsu stopped me, Natsu took hold of my wrist.
"It's okay to cry Luce." Natsu sniffled. He was also crying. Even though she may have passed away a long time ago, doesn't mean that missing piece is still not gone. That big rip in your heart when you lose someone so close, it will never go away.
"I know." I sobbed as I leaned into his touch. Natsu pulled into him as he laid on his back on the soft grass, while I laid on top of him. Natsu wrapped his arms around my waist and put his chin on top of my head.
"I miss her so much," Natsu sniffled. "Will I ever stop being weak?" I shot my head up, which caused me to knock his chin rather hard. Natsu groaned in pain and looked up at me as I hovered on top of him.
"Crying does not make you weak," I cried. "It just shows you care." Natsu nodded his head as he pulled me back down. I nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck and sniffled here and there.
"I know, I know," Natsu calmed down a bit. "I just want to see her one last time." I understood where he was coming from. I've wished for that for years, and it actually did happen. My mother was in my head, it was quick though. At least my mother got to meet Natsu, which made me extremely happy.
"I wish you could have met her." Natsu sighed. I was about to say, me too! But then I felt a tap on my arm. I quickly turned around and looked up. S-She was here, was this a dream? I felt Natsu grip my hips as he moved into sitting position.
"You do realize I was a witch." She winked at me. She was glowing, literally. She looked like an angel. Natsu was at lost for words, so was I. His mother was standing right in front of his, and we were speechless.
"M-Mom." Natsu said as his voiced cracked. His mother kneeled down and hugged us, Natsu did the same. I felt as if I were a piece of cheese in the middle of a sandwich. Natsu gripped onto his mother tighter, and so did she.
"W-What's happening?" I gasped. I was getting the life squeezed out of me. Natsu's mother chuckled as she leaned back and stared at us. She smiled as she took my hands into hers.
"You got such a beauty here Natsu." She said in disbelief. Was that really a surprise. Natsu was a good looking guy, I'm lucky I've got him.
"Is that really surprise?" Natsu grinned. His mother laughed at his comment. This was so cute, I felt like crying all over again. She looked down at me and then back to Natsu. She leaned over and whispered something in his ear, I could hear her.
"She has a very a big chest," She giggled. "You're so lucky." I gasped as I wrapped my arms around my chest. She chuckled as she watched me react, oh I'm making a fool of myself!
"Anyways I'm glad I could meet you," She suddenly frowned. "You're names Luigi right?" I felt as if I was hit right in the gut. Natsu and her were so alike. She just had to bring up the Luigi thing didn't she? Natsu will never let me live this down.
"I'm Lucy Heartphilla." I smiled as I reached out for her hand. Natsu's mother looked a bit surprised but shook my hand anyways.
"So the dragon captured the princesses heart?" She grinned as she patted Natsu's head. She must be very proud of him. Natsu laughed like a little kid as he pulled me into a very tight hug.
"Were mates mom!" Natsu chimed as he hugged me tighter. His mother looked at him like he was stating the obvious.
"Well Lucy, I'm pretty sure we have met before." Natsu mom chuckled as she sat in front of us.
"Eh?" Natsu and I said in unison. His mother laughed some more, well I'm glad were entertaining her. Natsu mom smiled as she brought her hands out to touch our foreheads.
"I'll show you!" She exclaimed. Suddenly the whole room changed. No longer were we sitting in the beautiful garden, we were in another one. This one was outside, this was my mother's resting place, except she had not passed away yet. She was still alive. I remember this now.
The Garden, an encounter.
"I'm going to get you princess!" I giggled as I chased her. This was when we were playing tag together. I was playing as a dragon with a little red hood on, and she was playing as a princess. My mother laughed as she ran around a bush, but suddenly fell back.
"Mom!" I shouted as I ran over to her. My mother giggled as she talked to someone behind the bush. I ran up behind her and saw who she was talking to. It was a pink haired woman and a boy about the same age I was back then.
"I'm so sorry!" My mother smiled as she lifted herself off the ground and shot her hand out. The woman smiled as she took her hand and got off the ground. The boy behind her chuckled as he went behind his mother. He was adorable, I think I had a crush on him.
Now that I look back on this, he looks a lot like Natsu. And that pink haired woman must be his mother! Genius Lucy strikes again. My mother greeted the pink haired woman and they began to talk. I walked behind the woman and poked the boy in his side.
"Watch it Blondie!" Natsu grunted as he turned around. Natsu stared at me for awhile, was there something on my face back then?
"Well excuse me Pinky, I just wanted to say hi." I giggled. This felt very weird looking at my younger self talking to smaller Natsu. I guess I've always had a crush on this big dork.
"You're really pretty for a weirdo." Natsu smiled. I could see myself smile, I guess I am a bit of a weirdo.
"Well you're pretty handsome for someone with pink hair." I giggled. I can't believe I was so blunt as a kid. The smaller Natsu began to blush at my comment.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Natsu Dragneel! What about you?" Natsu asked as he put his hand out.
"Lucy Heartphilla!" I giggled as I shook his hand. We were so cute, how could I forget something like this?
"Luigi?" Natsu snickered.
"Lucy!" I shouted.
"How about Luce?" Natsu smiled. I thought about it for a while and then smiled.
"I like it!" I beamed.
"Come on Natsu we have to get back to Igneel." His mother chimed. Natsu argued with his mom to stay a little longer but she of course won. She smiled at me as she said goodbye to my mother.
"I hope we meet again!" Natsu smiled as he patted my back. I giggled, I wanted to see him again as well.
"We will meet again for sure!" I exclaimed as I leaned and kissed his cheek. Man I was really brave as a kid. Natsu began to blush but then smiled and nodded his head. Natsu waved me goodbye and left with his mother.
"Wasn't that so cute!" Natsu mom chimed as she ruffled Natsu's hair. I felt as if I were knocked out and had a killer headache when I woke up. I rubbed my eyes and stared at Natsu. He was blushing like mad.
"You remembered that time and you never told me didn't you?" I hissed. Natsu started to whistle as he scooted closer to his mom. That was really important and he decides not to tell me. I can't believe I forgot such a precious moment.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Natsu grinned. I groaned as I smacked my forehead, I think I left a mark. Good job Lucy!
"Lucy, Natsu." Natsu's mother called. We both directed our attention towards her. She looked as if she was fading away. She was going to leave, but I didn't want her to go. I wanted to know more about her, speak to her longer. I wanted her to see my wedding.
"I'm going to see your father." She said as she caressed Natsu's cheek. Natsu began to tear up but held it in.
"I love you so much mom." Natsu smiled as he hugged her. She pulled back and ruffled his hair. She turned to me pulled me into the hug.
"I wish I could speak with you some more." She cried. She was crying now. I hugged her tighter, but she was fading away.
"I know we barley know each other but I love you too." I cried. She looked down at me and smiled.
"I love you both and I hope you have the best wedding ever!" She cheered as she pulled us out of the hug. She stood up and began to sparkle.
"You're father has to see me beautiful so no more crying," She smiled. "Take care of each other and protect each other!" She winked at me as she began to walk away and sparkle.
"Be sure to wear protection because that white stuff makes babies!" She giggled as she snapped her fingers. She was gone. Natsu and I sat there in shock.
"That last thing she said to me," Natsu began to chuckle. "Was to use protection." I also began to laugh, I can't believe she said that. I expect something beautiful to come out of her mouth.
"Well she's a very wise women!" I cackled as I leaned into Natsu. I looked up to Natsu to see him smiling down at me.
"What is it?" I asked. Natsu winked at me as he pulled us up and had me in bridal style again.
"We need to go see Mira!" Natsu smiled. How could I forget about that! I'm a terrible person! She's going to kill me when we see her!
"We don't know where she his though." I said. Natsu smile grew wider when her sniffed the air. Oh you've got to be kidding me.
"I can smell her from here!" Natsu shouted as he ran towards the door.
"To Mira we go!" I giggled. Natsu closed and locked the door behind him, after that he rushed through the tunnels.
"You're so weird Lucy!" Natsu cackled. Of course, I'm weird, I don't think he lets me go through a day without telling me that. Mira here we come!
