As sad as it is... This is probably going to be the last chapter, unless I come up with an idea or you guys do. Let me know if you do!

Chapter 4

Wake up

~Natsu's POV~

"Lucy?" I asked. She was asleep. She looked so cute when she was asleep. Her frozen figure in my arms that needed heating up. She needed to stay awake.

I bent down with her in my arms, and tried to wake her up.

"Lucy?" I asked again.

No response. She started to stir, but to no means was she about to wake up.

She huddled closer to my chest. I guess Lucy was really tired. How can she be tired, I just fucking used all my magic energy!?

"Just one more moment like this." I heard the sleeping figure say.

"O-OK." I replied. I guess my sleeping Lucy wasn't really sleeping. Was she?

I picked her up bridal style, and started walking towards my house.

I needed a change of clothes. I could not go to the guild in these tattered clothes, now could I?

I paced through the woods, carefully holding Lucy. I could feel her steady breathing.

We finally reached my house, and I kicked open the doors.

"Happy?" I asked? I was looking for that little guy, considering I had no idea where he went.

"Aye, Natsu." Happy mumbled. He slowly munched on a fish he currently held in his paws.

"Look after Lucy for a minute, would'ya?" I said, then placed my Lucy in my hammock.

"Aye, Natsu!" Happy yelled, and carried himself (Plus the fish) over to Lucy.

I quickly went to my dresser, and grabbed my clothes.

~Lucy's POV~

The warmth had left my skin. I felt cold. I was no longer in Natsu's arms.

Where was I?

I slowly opened my eyes, and watched Natsu zip up his shirt that would conceal his chest.

Maybe it's a good think I woke up after he was mostly dressed. I blushed at the thought of me waking up earlier, and having to hide my eyes from his nudity.

He looked over, and saw me sit up in... His hammock!?

"So my Lucy is awake." He said, and came over to me with his toothy grin.

"Enjoy the show?" He asked in a husky voice, as he bent over, and kissed my cheek.

"W-What are you talking about!? I only just woke up." I said, and my eyes filled with shock.

"Oh.." He said plainly. Did he want me to see him naked!?

"Natsu Looooooooves you!" Happy then exclaimed, jumping onto Natsu's shoulder.

"Yeah I do, now go eat another fish!" Natsu screamed in Happy's ear.

"Aye, sir..." Happy said drearily, holding his ears from the impact of Natsu's voice. He jumped off of Natsu's shoulder, and flew out of the window.

"You do?" I asked.

"Of course I do, now do you wanna go to the guild or not?" I blushed.

"Yeah, let's go!" I cheerfully replied.

I hopped out of the hammock, and Natsu grabbed my wrist. We both ran towards the guild.

Natsu kicked open the guild doors. (His usual way of entry...) Everyone immediately looked at us. Then they stared at our hands. We were holding hands.

"Fianlly!" Mira cheered.

"No more love rival!" Juvia yelled while staying close to Gray.

Natsu pulled me along, as people continued to cheer.

"You owe me five-thousand jewels, Cana." Mira said to Cana.

"Shit..." Cana mumbled while chugging down a pint of beer.

He held me close to him, as we reached a table.

We sat down with everyone (Gray, Juvia, Erza, Levy, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Happy).

"About time." Gray stated, while hitting the table.

"What?" I asked.

"That Lucy is no longer Juvia's love rival because she is with Natsu." Juvia explained. What's her deal with 'love rival!?'

Natsu chuckled, and pulled me onto his lap.

"Awwwwwwww, Lu-chan!" Levy cooed.

I felt embarrassed, and buried my head into Natsu's shirt. Natsu embraced me, and looked over towards Gajeel.

Gajeel was staring at Natsu.

"What, you jealous cause I got a girl before you?" Natsu teased.

I looked up, and saw Natsu and Gajeel having a stare-off.

"Oh shit..." I thought to myself.

Gajeel suddenly looked away, giving off a humph.

I heard a low growl arise from Natsu.

Was he seriously being territorial over me!?

"Enough!" Erza exclaimed. In a flash she quickly reequipped her sword, and flashed it in front of the two dragon slayers. Had she moved it an inch closer to the table... There wouldn't be a table.

"Aye!" both of them said in unison.

Suddenly, the master stepped onto the stage.

"Attention, everyone!" The master yelled.

"Please don't let this be some sort of lecture on relationships." I silently prayed to myself.

"I know you are all excited about the latest drama, but I have an important reminder." Master said.

The room silenced at the sound of his bellowing voice.

"My birthday party is tonight! Make sure you get me something!" Master suddenly announced in a high-pitched voice. Everyone cheered, and the master exited the stage.

"Oh, that's right! The master's ninetieth birthday is tonight!" I exclaimed. I had completely forgotten. I didn't even get him anything!

(Yes, the master is turning ninety. Lucy has been in Fairy Tail for a few years.)

"No, really? I thought it was yesterday." Gray said in a sarcastic tone.

In an instant, Natsu took me off of his lap, jumped over the table, and pounced on Gray.

"What did you say, Gray? Are you making fun of my Lucy?" Natsu asked Gray. Natsu held Gray to the floor with one arm, and lit his other hand.

"Erza?" I asked, looking for Erza. She had disappeared. Where was she. I looked around the hall, and saw her in a trance with a strawberry cake.

"No intervention this time." I quietly said to myself.

The others just stared at the boys, as they went at it... Again! Luckily, Natsu only used his fire at short ranges. Gray tried to calm Natsu down, and after about five minutes Natsu finally sat back down next to me.

Gray walked off, and Juvia followed.

Natsu growled, as he pulled me closer to him.

"Baka." I whispered in his ear.

He brought a hand to my cheek, and kissed me.

In mid-kiss Natsu opened his eyes, and looked at Gajeel who was staring at us. Natsu closed his eyes once again, and slipped his tongue down my throat.

I heard another humph come from Gajeel, as Natsu deepened the kiss.

"Show-off." Gajeel mumbled.

Now I think I have officially hit writer's block... Please review, follow, favorite. I would love the encouragement, and constructive criticism reviews.

XOXO
