Chapter Five

Truth

Natsu's POV:

As soon as we were off stage Lucy launched herself at me with a smile that just didn't quit, and when she smiled like that it was hard not to give her one in return and then she spoke, her voice a little husky from our set,

"Natsu we did it! They liked me." I chuckled at her insecurities as I said,

"No, you did it. You showed them that you belong in Fairy Tail." She just let out a sigh and we stood there for a couple more seconds, her head leaning against my chest, my arms wrapped around her waist and then we heard Grey's voice,

"Hey do you two plan on helping or are you just gonna cuddle for the rest of the night?" I could feel my face go red and I knew that Lucy's was as well without even having to look and yelled back,

"Keep your damn clothes on stripper we're coming." I unwrapped my arms from around her and ruffled her hair as I said, "You were mind-blowing tonight." I then walked off to help the rest of the band pack up and Lucy was right there beside me, a place that was quickly becoming all hers.

Once the last piece of equipment was loaded into Gajeel's death trap of a van everyone began to pile inside, well everyone except for me, there was no way I was riding in that thing again, if I walked it would only take me a little over an hour so that was what I was planning on doing I then looked to my right and noticed that Lucy hadn't gotten in the van either, she was just looking up at the stars with a smile on her face that was both happy and sad. I wanted to say something to her, but for probably the first time in my life I was at a loss for words so I just watched her watch the sky, that was until Gajeel yelled from the driver seat,

"You two planning on getting in?" That was when Lucy just shook her head and said,

"It's so pretty out I think I'm gonna walk." Erza eyed her with concern and asked,

"Are you sure, it's pretty late." She nodded,

"Yeah I'll be fine." I smiled and closed the distance between us as I bumped her with my shoulder,

"Sure you will since I'll be walking with you." Her eyes widened as she said,

"Natsu you don't have to walk me home." I shook my head,

"Do you think I would willingly get back into that death machine after the ride over here?" She just laughed and nodded her agreement, "Walking you home is just a perk." Gajeel just rolled his eyes and grunted,

"Suit yourselves." As he sped out of the parking lot.

Lucy's POV:

Natsu and I began the rather lengthy walk back into town, but I was still bursting with energy that there was no way I could sit in the confined space of the van, and Natsu was right that thing is a death trap and Gajeel has got to be the worst driver of all time.

The two of us began to walk side by side in silence until I think the quiet became too much for him and Natsu began to whine,

"Luce, I need you to entertain me." I smiled as I rolled my eyes,

"And how am I supposed to do that?" He just shrugged as he began to walk backwards so that he could face me,

"I don't know but you always seem to be able to." I sighed as I looked up at the stars, they reminded me of my mom and how she took the time when I was little to show me the constellations, I then let my eyes drift over to Natsu who was still walking backwards and I was pretty sure he was going trip and fall at some point. It was then that I had an idea,

"Hey Natsu have you ever played truth?" He arched his eyebrow at me,

"You mean like truth or dare?" I shook my head,

"No, truth is a game where you go back and forth asking questions and only telling the truth. There is no lying, if you lie you lose." He looked a bit intrigued but, I could tell he wasn't completely sold,

"I always thought that the fun of truth or dare was the dare part, and what's to stop the other person from lying?" I just shrugged,

"Nothing I guess, excepting knowing that you are cheating, and in this game no question is off limits, you can ask the other person anything you want to know." His eyes widened as he asked,

"Anything?" I nodded,

"Anything." He took a deep breath and began to walk beside me again as he said,

"Well it's not like there is anything else to do let's play." I smiled at him and said,

"It's your first time why don't you ask the first question?" he took a deep breath and said,

"Okay, but you said anything right? I mean you won't get mad at me later for something we asked in the game right? You won't tell anyone my truths either right?" His eyes were wide with worry and I stopped him by tugging on his arm as I said and held out my pinky finger,

"I swear that anything that is said in the game cannot be repeated to anyone else and that we won't get mad at each other for the questions that are asked." He grinned down at me and linked his pinky with mine as he said,

"I swear." He then took a deep breath and asked, "So, Luce what is your last name." My eyes widened and my breath caught in my throat, I had actually forgotten that Natsu didn't know. Damn why did he have to start off with a hard one. I let our pinky's disconnect as I began to walk again, and he was right there walking beside me waiting for my answer, so I took a deep breath and said,

"Heartfillia." I chanced a look at him but I don't think that that name meant anything to him, that or he just wasn't making the connection that he should. He just cocked his head to the side,

"Why hide it?" I shook my head,

"Nope, my turn." His mouth dropped open,

"But, Luce I wasn't done." I shook my head,

"Then you should have worded your question better. I didn't make the rules." He just rolled his eyes as he mumbled,

"Stupid rules." Under his breath and I asked,

"What was that?"

"Nothing, what's your question?"

"What's your most precious possession?" He just tugged on the scarf that I was still wearing around my neck as he said,

"This." I was speechless, I wanted to ask him why this, and if it was so precious why let me wear it, but I couldn't because of the rules, stupid rules.

By the end of that walk I knew that Natsu's favorite animal was a dragon, even though they were not real, his favorite color was red, that Gramps got him into music in the hopes of calming him down and helping him focus and that Happy got his name because when Natsu first looked at him that was the feeling he got. Natsu learned that I am indeed a natural blonde; the key that I always wear around my neck was given to me by my mom and that when I was six I broke my arm because I thought I could fly so I tried to jump off of the roof of the shed." Then we were standing in front of my apartment and I didn't want to say goodbye just yet and it was then that I remembered the furry blue cat that had shown up at my place hours earlier and said,

"Oh I almost forgot, Happy showed up at my window before the show. I brought him in and fed him some tuna." Natsu just sighed,

"Why does he keep doing this? It's like he thinks we live at your place now." I laughed as I let us into my place,

"Well you guys do spend a lot of time here." I turned on the light and there was the blue ball of fluff curled up on my bed. I looked over at the clock and it read three am, but I still wasn't tired, not after jumping around on stage, not after our long walk and not after telling truths so I looked over at Natsu and asked,

"Wanna play some DC vs. Marvel?" His eyes brightened as he said,

"You're going down Heartfillia." I just laughed and said,

"In your dreams dragon boy."
