I wish i didn't have to leave this morning. It's been a week since Natsu and Igneel started talking without me there and they are now on really good talking terms! They speak atleast once every two days since Igneel is always busy with his new job, but it is nice to see that Natsu is now relaxed and happier than before. Seeing Igneel and actually speaking to him, has taken a massive weight off Natsu's shoulders and it definitely shows in how he is now. He is now more upbeat and writing a lot more music than before!

I roll over in my bed to see Natsu quietly snoring next to me. Well….I would say quietly, it is actually quite loud but I am very much used to it by now. I lie there for a few minutes and appreciate the sight I have right now. In a few hours, I will be back on the tour bus with Levy, Erza and Juvia for our 6 month album tour! As much as I have always wanted to have the success with the band that we have at the moment and go out on our first album tour, I really don't like the idea of leaving Natsu and the boys behind. I know that they are leaving in a week's time to go on their own tour but it's still the novelty of not sharing a bed with him every day.

Ever since his first encounter with Igneel, Natsu has not left my side. I don't think he has even stayed at his own house since we came back from tour! He has always stayed at mine. To be honest, I quite like it. I probably wouldn't admit it to him yet, but I think that sharing a bed with him on tour, seeing him every day for 3 months straight and then seeing him for another month at home every day, sharing my bed here has made me want to ask Natsu to move in with me! It's not like I am going too fast with this. Gray and Juvia have already moved in with each other and are engaged! I have no reason to doubt myself that it is fast. Them two are the living embodiment of the phrase "if it's right, then don't let go".

Last night we all went to Gray and Juvia's place to discuss wedding planning. It was quite nice to go through it with them both since as it turns out, both of their parents are no longer alive, so we are the closest thing to family to help them sort out the wedding. The girls and I spent hours last night discussing venues, colour schemes, favours, themes, music and entertainment at the reception while the boys just talked about getting Gray paralytic on the stag night - typical! Once we all got over the original wedding talk, we all sat down to a few beers, wished each other well on the tours and the boys promised that as soon as their 3 month tour was finished, they would come and see us as much as possible and just had a few laughs. The night was perfect!

I feel two warm arms grab me and pull me towards the hot god that is supposed to be asleep right now, snapping me out of my thoughts of last night. Natsu had had a few too many to drink last night and decided that it was a good idea to challenge Gray, Gajeel and Jellal to an arm wrestling match. We all joined in eventually, ending up with Erza somehow beating us all and shattering all of the boy's pride except from Jellal who claimed that he let her win, no matter how much we protested. It was very funny getting him into bed last night but I am sure that he will pay for it today. Serves him right! He didn't even let me win on the arm wrestling match we had!

As I snuggle into Natsu's warm embrace he lets out a small moan "Morning"

I giggle "Morning. How's your head?" I say giving his forehead a small kiss causing him to winch at the contact.

"Not good. But I'll live I'm sure"

I laugh lightly "So you should and serves you right. You seem to have a habit of drinking too much Mr Dragneel. I think being away from you for 6 months might help your liver a little bit"

He smiles "Nah. I'm actually worse with just the boys when I go out. I can take a lot more than that and still remember the night. It's just the hangover I don't like. The dizziness when being really drunk reminds me when I get sick on transportation and it makes me feel worse in the morning because of it. Otherwise I would be fine."

"Awww" I say trying to go for fake sympathy. I kiss him on the lips. "Does that make you feel better?" I ask smirking.

He smirks back "Why yes. I believe that more of that should cure my hangover completely"

I giggle. I kiss him again but this time we deepen the kiss. Natsu pulls away quickly making me groan at his missing lips from mine.

He looks me directly in the eyes. "I know that you and I are going away and not seeing each other for 6 months, but I wanted to let to you know that this is not goodbye sex. This is 'until next time when I see you on tour' sex.

I giggle "I think I like that" I lean in to kiss him but I stop feeling his hand cup my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb while staring at me as if I am the last thing that he is ever going to see.

"What's wrong?" I ask after a while softly.

He shakes his head slowly. "Nothing. I'm just so proud of you" I smile "Plus I am committing this moment to memory for tonight when you are gone" He looks down at my naked chest and smirks. I realise what he meant by that and lightly smack him on the arm.

"Perv!" I shout out shocked. He just laughs and pulls me in for a big kiss.

He separate again in the midst of making out, all hot and bothered. "I love you Lucy Heartfilia. I always will"

"I love you too Natsu Dragneel."

A few hours later, Natsu and I are walking hand in hand to the front of my flat with all of my equipment in my hands. Natsu agreed to wait until we left safely before he went back to his place. Honestly, we have not left each other's side all morning. It took me literally fighting and rolling out of bed 2 hours before they were picking me up to get myself ready to go, making sure that I am fully packed and had everything that I needed.

It wasn't long before the bus turned up to pick me up. This one looked like the same company we went with last night so I'm hoping that it looks the same on the inside. Natsu and I walk onto the bus and we are greeted with Levy, Juvia and Erza already on the bus! We both give all of the girls a hug and after settling my bag onto one of the sofas, I drag Natsu outside to say good bye properly.

I grab him into a tight hug as we both stand outside the bus who is waiting for me to board so we can head off. As much as I was looking forward to this moment, now that it's here I really don't want to go. I try and hold the tears that are threatening to pour from my eyes as I realise how much I am going to miss this man.

"I have something for you" Natsu says when I pull my face away from his chest. He lets me go and pulls out a small black box. Oh no! Don't tell me it's what I think it is!

"It's not what you think" Natsu quickly says. He opens up the small black box and a small silver chain with a pink dragon presents itself to me.

"Think of it as a promise necklace. I have one too" He says pulling out a golden chain from under his white scarf with a small golden star pendant on it. "So we are always with each other while we are apart" I smile and almost let the tears fall.

"Thank you" I say as he pulls the necklace out of the box and puts it on me. It fit perfectly on me! "I am never taking this off!" I say grabbing him in a hug and kissing me.

He laughs. "Well if that's what a necklace gets me…" He starts. I pull away and look at him in confusion grabbing the dragon pendant to feel it. He goes into his other pocket and pulls out another small black box. This one definitely does not look like jewellery this time. He opens it and looks at me nervously.

"I know that you and I are on a second chance at the moment, but I have been thinking that since we've met each other, we have not spent much time apart…..and I like that. In fact I love that I spend so much time with you and I never want that to end. Now I'm not expecting an answer but….. will you move in with me when the tour is over?" I look down and I see Natsu holding a key in his hand. I look at him again in shock!

"If you want it…. this is a key to my place. It's my spare copy so you are welcome to use it at any time. I know that you are going away now, but I was thinking that if you want it, I'll hold onto it until you get back…"

He doesn't need to say any more about the subject. I grab him once more dragging him in a hard kiss and hugging him so my head is next to his ear. "Try and stop me Dragneel" I say smiling brightly when I pull back so he can see my face. He grins his oh so delicious smile and hugs me tightly again.

"Oi Lucy! We need to go! We need to be at the first venue in a few hours and have a meeting with Mira!" I hear Erza shout causing us to snap out of our little moment. We are both still in each other's arms and I give him one last kiss and hug so I can savour the moment.

I turn and start making my way onto the bus "I love you. Be good! I'll call you tonight when we get there and we've had the meeting. Don't try and have too many fights while I'm gone!" I shout as I make my way onto the bus.

"Love you too Luce. See you soon!" I hear Natsu shout out. I take a place on a sofa where I can watch Natsu as the bus moves away after putting my stuff onto the luggage section. I blow him a kiss and wave along with the girls while Natsu is waving back at us as we leave for tour.

I turn around and sit myself on my seat and then it happens. The threatening tears decide to cascade down my face as the prospect of leaving Natsu for 6 months has hit me full on. It's not in the works. It's actually happening now!

Erza pulls me in for a hug. "Don't cry. You'll see him soon. We all know how you feel"

Juvia and Levy stand up and pull me into a group hug as my tears continue to fall. We break apart after a few minutes. "Right. Enough of that. We are on our own tour people! We need the bubbly!" Levy shouts out, running to the fridge in the kitchen section that I have yet to explore and pulls out big bottle of champagne and 4 glasses! When did they prepare this?

Levy hands me a glass while the others are handed out. "To our first album tour. We've done it girls!" I shout and we all squeal in delight and clink our glasses together, letting the champagne take off the initial nerves of the travelling.

"Let's go exploring!" Juvia shouts and we all make our way, champagne glasses and bottle in tow to have a look around the tour bus. It's kitted out exactly like the last bus and of course since I am the last one, I have the last bunk which happens to me nearest to the toilet.

The girls laugh when I see where I'm sleeping and I place my bag on the bed. "Cheers girls. Love you too!" I joke making then all laugh with me. I don't know whether it is the champagne kicking in or if it's the emotions running through me right now, but I grab the girls again for a large group hug.

"I love you guys and I am so proud of you all"

"Aww we love you too! Let's make this tour the most rememberable yet!" Levy shouts out and we clink glasses again before taking a sip of champagne.

I know that I don't have Natsu with me, but I know that this tour is going to be just that!"

The girls are finally off on tour! What do you all think of Natsu's gift/s for Lucy? Is it too soon for her to move in with Natsu? Let me know!
