Chapter 15.

Natsu stared at the picture frame he was holding. Inside was a picture of his Father, he was smiling at him. His Father was fearless, his Father could have done anything. His Father would have done anything, and that's exactly why he's gone. He wanted to leave so he left, plain and simply. Didn't leave a note or anything, just packed up and left. Natsu was over it now, he didn't miss his Father as much as he used to. Natsu was all grown up, he's accepted that Igneel was gone and made peace.

Sure if Nastu ever saw him again he would deck him out first and ask questions later. Natsu's mind worked in a curious way. He thought since he was going to find his Father that there was no point in missing him since they would be reunited soon. At times like these though he wished his Father was here.

Igneel left Natsu before he could really give him the birds and the bees talk. So yes Natsu learned about sex in his sex-ed class but he never learned how to ask a girl out, or where to take them on a date, or know what to say and junk. He wasn't expecting to fall in love, he wasn't even interested in girls but now... he really needed that advice.

The kisses he had with girls were nice but he didn't really think anything of it. Maybe the ones with Lisanna held some feelings but just thinking about comparing them to Lucy... Natsu knew deep down they would hold no contest. This was a strange feeling to Natsu. Sure he knew what love was but he never really experienced it.

Lucy.

Lucy had changed him. He doesn't see things the way he used too. Everything was different now thanks to her. Natsu put the frame back on the self and reached for his wallet. His Father wasn't here anymore so there was only thing left to do. Rent a whole bunch of chick flicks and take notes. This was going to be a long night.

Lucy woke up different this morning. She had a dream about Natsu. Normally she would be furious at herself but now she felt nothing. Natsu was her...fri-frie- friend now. Lucy inwardly shuttered.

Her nightmares were back, seeing her Mother in her dreams rotting away, Lucy screaming at the top of her lungs asking someone to save her, forcing herself to wake up startled. Some dreams ended differently though like last nights for instance. At the end of this dream she saw Natsu's face and felt a wave of comfort flow over her... and then she woke up. Ever since Lucy was informed that she was moving back here those nightmares have been reappearing. Only recently had Natsu been appearing in her dreams.

What was it he had said? Lucy thought to herself.

"I just think you'll be a lot happier if you were with your friends rather than up here all by yourself everyday" Lucy recited.

Would she really be happier? Lucy tried for him before for but look how that turned out. Why hadn't Lucy punched Lisanna out? Normally she would have, back in middle school she definitely would have but now... she couldn't. Well Lucy still could but it wouldn't feel right.

"Lucy nee-san are you up yet?" Wendy asked.

Lucy turned to Wendy and nodded her head. Seems it was time for her to get up and get ready for school. Strange, she was still tired from last nights dream. She could fix that by sleeping in her first period class though. Lucy leaned up, letting the blankets covering her fall back on the bed, and swung her legs to the side. She stretched her arms before standing up and walking into her bathroom.

Natsu.

What was he doing to her? Why did she feel warm when she hugged him? Why did she feel light when he said certain words to her? Lucy wanted to know. She never was the curious type to begin with but now...Lucy wanted to know what was eating away at her. Maybe she should ask Bora? Then again he wasn't a girl. Lucy decided to ask Cana next time she saw her as she finally started getting ready for the new day.
