One hour flies by as I get showered, changed and sort out my hair and make up for my date with Natsu tonight. I am currently standing in front of a mirror when I hear the door go. Levy goes to open the door.
"Lu-chan! Natsu is here!"
Butterflies appear in my stomach as I check myself once more over to make sure that I look alright. When I am happy with my appearance, I grab my purse, say good night to Levy and Erza and see Natsu in the doorway with his eyes wide open. I giggle. I must look great for Natsu to look at me like that.
"Hey Natsu." I giggle at him.
He slightly shakes his head as if he was daydreaming and beams at me. "Hey. Wow you look great!"
My ego grows immensely as I let that comment sink in. I beam back at him. "Shall we go?" He nods and gives me his arm for me link myself to him. Levy and Erza wave goodbye and we both walk downstairs to the car. I see in the front seat our bodyguard for the night. He said his name was Elfman when I last saw him.
I lean in the back seat with Natsu as Elfman drives us to the unknown destination. This gives me time to look at Natsu and see what he is wearing. He decided on his black spiky wig tonight with a beanie to cover the bottom of his hair. Wise choice considering the stories that Gray, Jellal and Gajeel told me about Natsu being caught with his pink hair showing through. He is wearing a black shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans with combat boots. He looks hot! I lick my lips unconsciously as I remember his body all over mine last night. I smile at the memory but frown when my mind reminds me of what happened today.
I try to break my bad thoughts with conversation. "So.. where are we going?"
Natsu smiles at me. "It's not far from here."
"How did you find this place we are going to?"
"I had a fight with Gray and I was walking around outside trying to cool off. Luckily the band wasn't that big yet so I was able to walk around without security. It's my favourite place that I have found on any tour so far."
With that the car stops and Elfman gets out of the car to let us out. Natsu grabs my hand as we get out of the car and I stop dead in my tracks with the sight in front of me.
We were on the top of a cliff over looking an ocean! It is quite late right now, so the clear dark night is lit with millions of stars with the moon reflecting itself in the water below. I felt the rush of cold sea air wrap around me as I stand there in wonder and I hear the crash of the waves calm every nerve in my being. I am truly mesmerised by this place. It is stunning!
I suddenly feel my right hand get tighter as I turn to see Natsu squeezing my hand.
"Amazing isn't it?" He asks rhetorically.
I look back at the amazing view and nod gently. This is Natsu's favourite place…. and now it is definitely mine. I have never seen a place more beautiful in my life!
"When I was last here, I just stood here for hours. I didn't want to move. I said to myself that if I found someone who I considered completely amazing, I would show them it."
My heart melts at the sentiment. Despite Natsu being a bonehead in general, he can be so sweet!
"I brought you here so we could talk privately. I don't want anyone to overhear anything incase they get the wrong idea." I just nod in response.
"Thank you for showing me this place Natsu. It is beautiful here"
"You're welcome."
There is silence following as we both sit ourselves down, out feet dangling off the cliff edge.
"So what did you want to discuss?" I ask
Natsu hesitates for a moment. "About last night"
I blush recalling my memories of it "What about last night?"
I see him look away and out to the ocean. "I really liked what happened last night, but I don't want it to ruin what we have." My heart sinks a little. He just wants to stay friends! "You are my best friend. I've never been so close with someone from a support band before. I even consider Erza, Levy and Juvia my nakama. I've never done that before with anyone except the guys."
And because I have no idea what to say to all of that I comment "I loved last night too" He snaps his eyes to mine as we stare at each other trying to read the others thoughts somehow. After a while Natsu looks out to the ocean again and takes a deep sigh.
"Seeing Lisanna put everything into perspective for me today. I used to think that I loved Lisanna and that I wanted to be with her forever. She meant everything to me despite all that went down. But after seeing her today and speaking to her, she made me realise something."
"What is that?"
"That's I've been living in the past for too long. You said to me that Gray told you about the baby and my relationship with Lisanna." I nod "I don't want to have that kind of relationship again and get hurt. It hurt so much that, as you know, I had to have therapy while the band was on hiatus. I was trying to deal with the loss of something that I'd never had before. I was always alone. I had always been alone since Igneel left. Even being friends with Jellal, Gajeel and the ice prick didn't take away the idea of having a family. They had that growing up and I didn't. That's why I held onto it for so long. I always wanted her because I thought she gave me the one thing that I had been deprived of…. a family."
Again my heart sinks even more. I place my hand on his shoulder and slowly move it around in circles to soothe him. This must be hard for him. I can understand why he wanted to talk to me about this.
"But now…..Now that I've met you" His voice becomes slightly shaky as he turns to look at me again in the eyes. My eyes open wide by the honesty of his expression and words. "I have never been so close with someone before. I honestly don't want you to leave from my life. It kind of worries me that I may go back to how I was before I met you when the tour finishes." He places his hand on my nearest hand that I am currently leaning back on.
"Promise me that no matter what happens, we will still be friends after this tour." I smile a heartwarming smile. This is what he asked me to come up here for? Oh silly Natsu "Of course! I'll miss you too when the tour finishes."
Natsu grins "I'm glad to hear it." I giggle "I mean what I said this morning" I give him a puzzled look. "I truly think last night happened because there is something between us. I wanted to bring you here to ask you something. I feel so different when I am around you and I don't want that to end. I want to always protect you. I want to always be with you and never let you go. I think about the idea of us being together and… it doesn't scare me like it did with Lisanna. For some reason I don't feel like you will hurt me when I am with you."
My mind goes blank and my hands start to shake with what he wants to ask me. "I want to give us a try. What do you think?"
I smile broadly at the thought. Natsu is really asking me out! Oh my God! Wow! What do I say to that other than… "Yes!" I shout engulfing him in a large hug. He laughs at my childishness and he puts my chin in his fingers, lifts my head up and kisses me gently on the lips. I feel a mixture of his relief and passion in his kiss as he starts to manoeuvre me so I am lying down on the grass with only the wind and the sound of the waves crashing to remind me of where I am. I see him looking over me as he bends down to kiss me once more. He moves his lips over to my neck and I moan in response.
We break off hearing a cough from Elfman. "Proposing a relationship is Man! Congratulations." Shit! I completely forgot about Elfman being here! Looks like Natsu did too since he is blushing scarlet! Aww he looks so cute blushing!
I stare back at him awkwardly "Um… thanks?" I say it more as a question rather than a notion of thanks. Where are you going with this?
"It is getting late Natsu and Lucy. You both need to be back soon." I look down at me watch. 11.20. Crap! We need to get up early tomorrow for recording!
"Looks like it was cut short" Natsu says scowling slightly. I giggle to myself. He looks so sweet like that. I grab his hand and with a small tug a pull myself and him up so we are walking to the car. "Come on." I jest. He follows obediently and I snuggle into him in the back seat of the car.
All of the way home, Natsu was kissing me non stop. It was amazing! With his unnatural body heat, he had set my skin on fire with his kisses! I feel so alive! When we finally get back to the hotel, he drags me to his room, grabs his card for the room and stops when he sees a blue tie on the door.
"Shit." He murmurs. He turns sheepishly to look at me. "Can I stay with you tonight? Looks like Juvia and Gray decided to….get busy." I blush at the implications. I look down at the tie and laugh to myself that it was quite a clever way of telling people to bugger off when they were with someone.
"Sure." I say grabbing my key card and drag him into the room. Juvia's bed sits there very tidy like always while mine is quite messy and still covered in unused clothes for tonight's date. I fling them all off in a hurry and get myself ready for bed. "Make yourself comfortable" I said to Natsu as I go clean my teeth as if it is the most natural thing in the world for him to share my bed with me. Fair enough we share each others bed on the bus but….we are now official! Natsu actually asked me to be his girlfriend! I grin at myself in the mirror as I take off my make up and make my way to the bed.
Natsu really did make himself at home it seems. He was already under the covers and his trousers and shirt are left discarded on the floor by my bed. I sneak a peak at his body and I have to pinch myself to believe that I am actually about to share my bed with this Sex God! Man I am a lucky woman sometimes! I smile as I wriggle myself into the covers and I roll over letting Natsu spoon me from behind, his arms and legs draped around me. I was not going anywhere tonight.
I roll my head over as far as I can. "Good night Natsu. Thank you for tonight."
Natsu smiles "Anytime." He answers kissing me long and gently. My hand moves to cup his cheek while our lips move in sync. His arms are still around me but I move myself around so that I can move my body to face his. Our kissing becomes heated and we continue from where we were before at the cliff. His lips attacking my neck, my chest and moving down to my stomach as I lie on my back. I close my eyes feeling his amazing touch on me. He is amazing at this! He is just an amazing kisser! He is my boyfriend! MY BOYFRIEND! The thought spurs me on and I grab him pulling him closer to me as history repeats itself and we reenact our adventures of last night.
Yay! They're official! what do you think? I loved writing that scene!
