Please Stay... (Nalu Songfic! :D)

Please Stay...

I'd sell my soul just to see your face
And I'd break my bones just to heal your pain

    I ran through another dark alleyway, my head surveying the area first left, then right. "LUCY!" I roared into the chilly night air, "Please, come back! I'm sorry!"

In these times, I need a saving grace,
But time is running out and I'm starting to lose my faith...

    "Lucy... please..." I fell to my knees and lowered my head, "I didn't mean those things I said..." My voice fell to a shaky whisper.

But if I told you I loved you, would it make you wanna stay?

    "I..." First one tear, then another rolled silently down my cheek. "I... I love you..." 

    A flashback thundered into my vision. The corridor, her shocked face... the sorrow in her gaze, the clatter of her shoes as she ran out the door...

I'm sorry for the way I hurt you, and making you walk away.
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you everyday...

    "I'll do anything..." I pounded my fist on the icy concrete, hearing a somewhat satisfying crack.

...would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?

    I stood once more and ran along the sidewalk, eyeing every inch of the area and keeping my nose peeled for her scent, oh, her sweet aroma... I noticed people giving me strange looks, but I ignored them.

 My heart's on my sleeve but it's turning black (I guess I know what it feels like to be alone)
Without your touch I'm not gonna last (I know you know that I need ya to carry on)
It feels like my walls are caving in (You'd always hold me before I left you hanging on)
And I'll do anything to have you here again.

    Then the pain started. My senses suddenly dulled and I fell forward once more. "I can't live without you, Lucy..." My body shuddered and my tears were now constantly streaming down my face, dropping to the pavement below me.

But if I told you I loved you, would it make you wanna stay?

    "I love you, Lucy... So much..."

Yeah, the days are cold, the nights are long
And I can't stand to be alone
Please know this is not your fault

    "And all I want..." As if crashing into me, I saw it. No, I saw her. Lucy! It was only a blonde flash under the streetlight, but I know it was her. My strength returning to me, I stood and swiftly ran to her. "Lucy!!"

Is to tell you I love you and make you wanna stay.

    "Natsu...?!" The blonde, who was indeed Lucy, to my excitement, turned in my direction, and her expression almost lit up at the sight of me.

    I stopped in front of her, lowering my head in shame. "Lucy, I am so, so sorry... please, please, come back to the guild... I... I love you..."

There's gotta be a way, 'cause goin' on without you is killin' me everyday...

    From the corner of my gaze, I saw her eyes widen, her sweet lips slightly ajar. "Oh, Natsu..." Lucy's slender arms wrapped around me. Then I heard a faint whisper in my ear. "I... I will come back... I forgive you..."

    "I love you too."

And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you everyday, would it everr make you wanna come back home and stay?

    I smiled and hugged her back tightly. "So... will you stay?"

    "Yes... yes, I will."

Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?

Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
