"Ooh, where are you going all dressed up like that?" A fellow nurse asked as Lucy returned back to the hospital all dressed up as she forgot to take her jacket. "Got yourself a hot date tonight, Lucy?"

Rolling her eyes, the blonde simply grabbed her purse and her jacket, giving all the nurses a wave. "No, it's just dinner."

"Nuh-uh, nobody just 'goes to dinner' looking like that. You're trying to impress somebody!"

Looking down at her attire, Lucy took a good look at her cocktail blue dressed that clung onto her curves and her black pumps that lifted her up just enough to give her ass a good round shape.

She has to admit, she might have gone a little overboard.

"So who is your date, huh? Huh?"

"It's... it's nobody," she waved it off once more, scoffing. "just an old friend."

"High school sweetheart?"

"Yeah, well, kinda," she flushed as she thought of Natsu and her back in high school. "but it's just dinner. We're just trying to catch up!" She said making the other nurses give her a look.

Lucy just shook her head as the smile grew even wider. "It's not like that, guys!"

"Well all I have to say to you is... wear protection."

"Guys!" Her entire face exploded into red making the room erupt into laughter. "I told you, it's not like that!"

"Sure, Heartfillia,"

"Hey, how is he like? Is he tall? Strong? Is he handsome?"

"Yeah..." she murmured as she stared at the ground. "yeah, he is."

"Guys, look," someone whispered in awe making the nurses all stop and look out the window to see a familiar pink-haired male strolling into the place looking rather dashing. He wore black pants and a white t-shirt, brown leather boots completing the nice but casual outfit. His signature scarf was wrapped around his neck securely and he had a bored expression on his face, his eyes lazily scanning the area in disinterest. But as soon as he looked up, his face brightened up and in sync, gasps filled the air. "isn't that..."

"Natsu Dragneel!"

"He's coming here!" One of them whisper shouted making them all hush each other and push one another to talk to him first.

"Uh, hey," he awkwardly muttered as his eyes met with Lucy in the back who blushed slightly.

"What could I help you with?" One of the older nurses leaned in towards the singer who's gaze fell to her face. "Are you here for an appointment? Visiting?" She asked in a flirty voice making him shake his head. "Then?"

"Actually," he flashed a cute bashful grin. "I'm here for Lucy."

And all at once, the nurses turned around and looked right at Lucy who offered a sheepish smile. She slowly started to walk backwards towards the door as all of them watched her every movement.

"So, yeah, I'll see you guys later..." she awkwardly mumbled before quickly opening the door and walking around the counter to go over to where Natsu was. He was still in the same spot as well as the nurses but all Lucy saw was Natsu and all Natsu saw was Lucy.

"You look great," he said making her smile shyly.

"Not so bad yourself. Looks like you learned how to dress yourself within the seven years I haven't seen you." She joked making him laugh and rub his neck awkwardly.

"Kind of," he shrugged. "my stylist helped me."

"I knew it was too good to be true." She teased making him give her a playful look before offering his arm towards her.

"Shall we?"

"We shall," she took his arm to walk away with him leaving the entire hospital in shock and disbelief.

Lucy almost forgot the feeling of this. It almost felt... natural. She felt comfortable and knowing that this was Natsu, she felt so much better and secure than if it was some other random guy she barely knew. She knew this guy since she was just a kid and she knew almost everything about him. But it's been years since she's actually even spoken to him... he was bond to change somehow.

"So, where we going?"

"Uh, well, I'm taking you to dinner, that's a fact," he flushed slightly. "then... some kind of walk and we could go see the stars later cause I know you like stars."

"How'd you know I like stars?"

"You told me," he said making her look right at him. "back when we were kids... you told me."

"And you remembered?" She asked in surprise making him grin sheepishly and nod. "How come you remember that but you can't remember stuff I used to tell you?" She teased making him shrug as they came to a car.

"Cause that wasn't important to me."

Looking at the male, Lucy felt her chest warm up as she watched him fish out his keys from his pocket and fumble with them.

Not important? Everything she reminded him was important! Make sure to do your homework... do your school work... tuck your shirt in... don't forget whites don't mix with color... make sure to be careful... how were those not important? How could he forget all those simple important tasks of life but remember that she liked stars which she told him almost two decades ago?

Finally opening his passenger seat after years of fumbling with his keys, Natsu gave her a wide grin as he held it wide open for her.

"Please, come on in."

"Wow, nice car and manners," she smiled as she tucked herself into his car. The leather underneath her bounced as she sat down and it felt cool to the touch, the door slamming shut right beside her to have Natsu walk around and come to his side of the car. "how much did this baby cost?"

"Maybe a little..." he hummed as he sat down himself. "probably around five hundred thousand?"

"Oh god," she sighed. "you would spend that much on a car?" She asked making him laugh slightly and start his engine. "What about to your motion sickness?" She questioned as she watched how he turned back and started to pull the car out in reverse. "Did you finally get over it?"

"Nope," he popped the P as he smirked. "I got motion sickness patches since traveling became a big thing and I had to travel at least twice a day so I just got some strong motion sickness patches."

"Those don't really work well," the nurse frowned as Natsu rolled up his leave to show her to multiple nude color patches.

"I know, that's why I have to put on at least six of them to actually work."

"You know there are pills to help this, right?" She reached over to brush her fingertips against his bicep making him flitch against her touch.

His cheeks darkened and he looked away, trying to focus on the road ahead of head.

"Well, I never was prescribed them or anything."

"You really don't need them prescribed. They have over the counter pills," she giggled at the face he made. "they're called Troia and they'll help you all day long!"

"I'll look into those," he smiled. "thanks, Luce."

"It's my job," she smirked to herself as Natsu laughed out loud.

The entire ride there was them just fooling around and giggling like little girls. The two acted as if they never had been separated as they spoke like friends since birth. There wasn't any awkward pauses or talks but instead, lots of laughter and jokes.

"Okay, so I know that you like fatty foods—"

"I don't like fatty foods!"

"Oh whatever you say," he waved her off as he parked the car. "so I'm bringing you to this family restaurant that is just down this road. I always come to this one whenever I'm around here."

"You come around here?" She asked making him offer a slight smile as he parked his car in an empty lot.

"Yeah, once in a while. Tours and such. I actually have an apartment around here."

"Really? I never seen you around here."

"Yeah, I'm never really home." He shut his engine off as he sighed and looked at the blonde beside her. "But I'm glad I was around here to meet you, again."

Looking at the singer next to her, Lucy flushed pink as they smiled shyly at one another.

"C'mon, let's go, weirdo."

"Alright, pinky."

"It's salmon," he groaned as Lucy giggled and got out of the car.

Shutting the door shut behind her, Lucy looked up at the restaurant where the sign was brightly colored with the words Hargeon Restaurant. She recognized the place but never actually ate there before, knowing it would be good since Natsu recommended the place.

Growing up with Natsu, the guy knew how to eat so she always knew that whatever he was going to eat, it would be great.

"I know the person who works here," he grinned. "she gives me discounts all the time."

"Oh, I bet." She laughed as Natsu opened the door for the blonde. The couple entered the place and immediately she could see tables scattered here and there and booths lined up against the walls where people ate and talked. The restaurant was a bit dim with the lighting but it made it look nice and comfortable. "Wow, I like it."

"Thought you might, c'mon," he put his hand on the small of her back to push her along to the hostess. "hi, table for Natsu Dragneel?"

"O—oh!" The hostess sputtered as she stared wide-eyed at the male. "Natsu Dragneel!"

"Yeah," he offered a grin. "I gots a reservation you see."

"Y—yes... of course! But, uh, could I... could I take a picture with you?"

"Yeah, sure," he shrugged as his hand slipped away from her back and the hostess thrusted the phone to Lucy.

Lucy fumbled slightly with her phone as she took the picture of the posing couple.

"Thank you so much!"

"No problem," Natsu nodded her way before his hand found his way around her waist once more and Lucy couldn't help but smile content. "so, our table?"

"This way!" She grabbed two menus and sets of utensils as she guided the couple towards one direction.

Natsu nudged the blonde to follow first as they made it towards the back where less people were and it was much more quiet. A bar was set in the back and Lucy started to notice the whispers and looks they got as the oh so famous Natsu Dragneel was in the same building as she was in.

"Don't let the staring and whispers bother you," Natsu whispered in her ear making her turn and look at him. "it might not be the nicest thing but," he shrugged. "it's whatever."

"It's kind of creepy," she admitted as the hostess sat them down and the couple took their seat.

"A waiter will be with you shortly," she said before her eyes flickered towards Natsu one last time and she left.

"Yeah it's creepy," he agreed, a slight smile on his face. "but don't worry about it. If it gets too out of hand, tell me."

"Alright," she pursed her lips as she picked the menu up and look at the fine print. Scanning the foods and drinks, she didn't know what she wanted as there was plenty of things in the menu. She could go the easy way and order pasta or a salad but the rice looks good and the meats sound great. "huh, what are you getting, Natsu?"

"One of everything in each category."

"Hm," she hummed, not affected by the sound of his words. "order me something then?"

"What do you want?"

"I don't know," she smiled as she put her menu down to look at the male across from her who quirked his brow right at her. "surprise me. Pick me something you think I would like."

Staring at the blonde for a moment, a smirk spread across his face and he nodded. "Challenge accepted."

"Hello, welcome to Hargeon Restaurant. I'm Sherry and I'll be your waitress for tonight, what could I get you to drink?"

"I'll take water," Lucy smiled making her nod and write something down.

"And you sir—?" She looked up to stop as she noticed the beautiful male in front of her. Her jaw practically dropped as she gazed at the male who hummed and looked up at her making her heart throb painfully.

"Do you have Coke?"

"U—uh," she squeaked. "is Pepsi okay?"

"Uh, sure," he shrugged making her quickly scribble his order down. "alright, so I'm trying to get a lot so be prepared."

"O—of course, anything for you."

"Great!" He said, completely oblivious to the flirting making Lucy roll her eyes and lean back. She watched closely how Natsu just spoke without a care in the world and how the waitress, Sherry, blushed and giggled and tried to get all cute by coming by his side to point and recommend such things.

It made Lucy feel slightly sick as she finally fished her phone out of her purse to look at her lock screen.

Immediately she could see she received a text from Gray and she noticed it was a link to something.

Opening her phone, she clicked the link and it took her to her Internet to provide her the information of her and Gray from earlier that day. There was an entire article about them and even pictures where even she knew looked a bit like a couple making her smile and blush like a school girl.

"What are you smiling at, weirdo?"

"Oh just this article," she looked up to see that the waitress was now gone. "look!"

Squinting to look at the screen in front of him, Natsu was silent for a moment before his face dropped into a scowl and he leaned away from her phone.

"What a load of bull," he scoffed. "who'd be stupid enough to think that you and that bastard Gray are a couple?"

"I don't know, apparently the paparazzi do."

Clicking his tongue in disapproval, the singer just simply shook his head making Lucy smile in amusement.

"So you and that waitress, huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"She was seriously flirting with you, Natsu. Anyone with eyes could see that."

"She was?"

Rolling her eyes at his oblivious attitude, it made her lean back as well and sigh. "You're so dense, Natsu."

"Why would I ever notice something like that?"

"I mean, how couldn't you? She was all giggly and such."

"Well... 'cause all I ever saw was you." He shrugged casually as he placed his hands on his lap. "So it's completely irrelevant to think of her or look at her."

Feeling her heart throb inside her chest, Lucy felt her face heat up while she fingered her utensils that were set out in front of her.

How could he be so blunt about saying things like that to her?

"Natsu?"

"Yeah?"

"You're stupid."

"You're weird."

—X—

"So, I was just trying to walk down the stage but since it rained, I fuckin slipped and I fell on my back knocking Loke, the orange haired one, down with me! It hurt but it was hilarious!"

Giggling hysterically, Lucy felt her stomach start to hurt as she couldn't help but laugh.

The one thing Natsu always was so good at was making her laugh, even during times where she was upset or it wasn't even a laughing matter. Whatever he said or did made her mood instantly shift and she always loved him for that. Even though back in high school he would get her in so much trouble for giggling in class, she would never regret becoming close with this guy.

"Man, I'm stuffed!"

"It was great," she agreed as she looked at the empty dishes in front of her where they came to collect the dirty plates. "what's next?"

"Dessert," he smirked. "duh."

"Oh right," she rolled her eyes as she forgot he would always eat dessert no matter what time or day it was. "what is it this time? Fireballs? Cinnamon candy?"

"Even better," he grinned widely as he practically bounced in his seat. "it's ice cream with brownie bites and fudge!" He said excitedly as a large cup was placed in between the couple making Lucy stare in surprise at how large the thing was.

There was at least six scoops of ice-cream and four pounds of whip cream! It looked so unhealthy and for some reason, her mouth was watering just looking at it.

"Are you trying to make me fat?"

"Yeah," he said as he grabbed the spoon stuck inside the ice cream cup. "that way, nobody is gonna want you so I could have you all to myself."

"So selfish of you," she smiled while picking up the other spoon. "but I fully accept and agree."

"Glad you do," he grinned her way before he took a large spoon full in his mouth and hummed in delight.

The entire thing was full of sweet hums and moans as it was gone by the time the waiter came by with the check. Natsu was quick to grab it from Lucy's reach and sight as he slapped down his credit card and handed it back to the waiter who barely even had time to walk away.

"Natsu," she gave him a look of frustration making him shrug. "I hate when you do that."

"I told you I was going to take you out to dinner so that means that I will do the paying and you just sit there and eat."

"I feel bad."

"You should be used to this by now," he teased, a goofy grin decorating his tan face. "you just didn't know me for ten years for nothing."

Rolling her eyes, Lucy felt stupid to think that this guy would ever change at all.

"C'mon, let's go on a walk. I think I'll throw up if I don't,"

"You're disgusting," she scrunched her face up as the couple stood and Natsu shoved his card into his wallet. He waited till she was in front of him and the two walked out of the place as casually as they walked in earlier that night.

The cool night air hit them immediately making Lucy shiver and her golden hair fly everywhere.

"Geez, it's cold."

"Here," he unraveled his scarf to wrap it around her neck. "keep this safe for me."

"When have I ever did something bad to this scarf?" She threw him a playful smile making him finger the ends of his scarf before he gave her a soft smile in return.

"You did spill a lot of things on it before."

"Like you haven't," she rolled her eyes making him nudge her as the two strolled down the streets where the sun began to set.

The couple gained attention very quickly as the vibrant pink hair of the singer stood out of everything but Natsu seemed so calm and collected about everything. Like he was so used to everything and he was bound to be used to it all after but her? She felt utterly uncomfortable especially since they were giving her more attention than they were giving Natsu.

"You alright?" Natsu asked as he felt the awkward tension next to her. "You seem... I don't know, you look kinda of constipated."

"Natsu," she groaned, giving him a push. "stop saying that."

"I mean—"

"I'm just kind of awkward because everyone is kind of starring at us." She murmured making Natsu look up and notice the looks they were getting.

His fans were all starting to follow them and he just then realized how bad it actually was. And knowing his fans, they could become a little violent and pushy whenever they wanted something and he wouldn't want them to mob them. Especially now, on their date.

"Hey Lucy,"

"Yeah?"

"How well can you run in heels?"

"What?"

Flashing a cheeky grin her way, Natsu grabbed her wrist and started to run making Lucy jerk forward and start running as well.

"Natsu!" She squealed in surprise as she practically dragged her heels and almost broke her ankles several times. The screams from behind her indicated that the girls were chasing after them but all she could see was the male in front of her. His odd-colored blew everywhere and all she could see was the wide grin that was on his face and it somehow felt so nostalgic.

"Quick, in here!" Natsu pulled her into a corridor, running left and right till he came into a tight alley. The distant screams echoed throughout the alley as all Lucy could hear was the rapid heartbeat of the two along with the ragged breathing. The heat from the male warmed her up immediately and she didn't feel so cold anymore but instead, hot. "I think we're safe, now. Are you okay?" He looked down at her making Lucy's eyes widen and her heart throb. "Luce?"

"I—I'm fine," she quickly said as she looked down between them. "I'm just lucky enough my ankles didn't snap."

"Sorry," he chuckled, looking down as well. "at least you're okay... right? You're okay, right?"

"I'm okay," she reassured as she placed a hand on his chest. "I'm okay... it's was kind of... fun." She looked up to smile up at him making it his turn to have his heart throb. "Are you okay? I just felt your heart—"

"It's fine," he quickly took her hand off his chest to hold it in his hand. "I just, I don't know," he laughed awkwardly. "uh, so, you want to go see the stars now?" He asked, trying his best to not stutter or blush but the way she was looking up at him with those wide brow eyes made him feel slightly nervous.

"Natsu, I wish." She laughed. "But tonight... there won't be any stars."

"Wait, what? Why?"

"Because it's supposed to be cloudy all night," she said making his shoulders slump slightly. "but it's okay," she reassured making him look at her. "because... because I already have my star right here." She placed her hand on his chest once more to give it a pat. "So it's okay. I'm okay."

"You're my star, I love you."

—X—

"Damn, I have to get up early tomorrow morning for a stupid interview on the Ever Show," Natsu groaned as he stretched his arms up high making Lucy gasp.

"The Ever Show? Lucky!"

"Nah, I've been on there couple of times. Nothing special."

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Superstar," she threw her hands in the air in a dramatic gesture. "I've also got on the Ever Show like millions of times." She said sarcastically making Natsu roll his eyes and throw her a look. "What?"

"You want to come with me?"

"Wait, actually?"

"I mean, why not? You can stay in the back or something. Unless you're doing something tomorrow?"

"I have work," she frowned, slumping her shoulders to kick at the ground. "I really wish I could."

Letting out a loud sigh, Natsu looked up at the dark cloudy sky as they walked down the street to her apartment. He threw his hands in the air once more and stretched before wrapping his hands behind his back to let out another loud sigh.

"Work, huh."

"Yeah, I have the early shift tomorrow."

"Well I can't take you away from your job so maybe I could see you again," he shrugged so casually making her blush and smile at the ground. "well, only if you want to."

"I'd love to," she whispered, her fingers intertwining with one another as she felt her heart start to race in her chest. "I always have fun with you so I'll always want to." She stopped in front of an apartment complex making Natsu stop as well.

He looked up at the place and then looked down at the blonde to see her smiling at him.

"I had fun today... thanks for tonight."

"Anytime," he offered a smile as well as he shoved his hands into his pockets. "it was... really nice seeing you again, Lucy. Especially after ten years..." He trailed off, feeling the jittery feeling returning to his body.

Silence squeezed past the two and Natsu didn't know weather or not if he should kiss her making him feel even more nervous. He always kissed her after their dates—if it was their first or their fiftieth, he always did. But now, he didn't know if the policy was still the same since they broke up and haven't seen each other in almost seven years.

"Good night, Natsu," she spoke up making him turn back to look at her. "I had fun... call me whenever you're around or free, alright?"

"Of course... you do the same."

Looking up at the star as if she was in debate, she finally walked closer and wrapped her arms around the male making him stiffen slightly.

"Bye, Natsu. Be safe," she whispered into his ear before giving him a quick sweet kiss on his cheek.

She quickly turned around and practically ran into her apartment complex leaving Natsu standing there on his feet in complete surprise. But soon, he had a wide grin decorating his face as he turned away to walk away. He pulled his phone out and opened his social media, pressing the button on the top right to have himself put the smiling emoji along with a heart right beside it and pressing send to post it.

Seconds later, the Internet blew up.
