Hey guys!

So sorry that it's been a minute. I've been busy busy busy! Just moved into a new apartment so I've been packing and unpacking haha. But for the moment I'm semi settled and have decided to take a break from the unpacking and get my creativity going again. Enjoy!

P.S. I should have another chapter coming at you soon!

Lucy POV

Natsu and I have been together for a month now. It's been great. No, amazing honestly. We've been almost inseparable ever since that night at the falls. All our friends are beyond happy that we've finally gotten over ourselves and are happy together. Another bonus is that we all don't have to hang out separately like when Natsu and Lisanna were together. Gray and Juvia have made a bit more progress, but I still think they're a ways off. Gray has definitely been avoiding her advances less than usual.

Natsu caught Loke and I talking in the hall before class one day. And let's just say it didn't go over well with Natsu. I barely managed to squeeze myself between them before Natsu could pin Loke against the wall. Thankfully, after about five minutes of Natsu fuming and glaring at Loke while he explained how he saved me from Sting, probably trying to process everything and deciding wether or not to believe him or not. Natsu had finally glanced at me, asking with his eyes if Loke was telling the truth. Natsu is still skeptical of him, but at least now that all of that is over with, it's not a hostile environment if Loke is around. He's even managed to become a part of our friend group. Gray and Gajeel were also skeptical at first, but soon enough Gray and Loke have almost the same relationship Gray and Natsu have. Almost.

Today was the day we have to turn in our stories to Mira in English. I made it to class before Natsu so when I sat down, I started to finish writing my last chapter for the story. I can't wait to read Natsu's side of this. After everything we've been through this year, I'm sure there are some things I'm not looking forward to reading. Like when he was with Lisanna, or when I was with Sting. But I'm excited. I suppose the thing I'm not excited for? Mira and her fan-girling.

Ever since Natsu and I got together she's been so over joyful it's starting to become suffocating. I mean I'm glad she's happy and doesn't hold anything against Natsu since he was just with her sister but still. She even lets us take breaks at the same time sometimes now, but whenever we do she makes it known to the whole restaurant that we're "completely in love". I mean she's not wrong, but it's embarrassing and I get secondhand embarrassment from her.

"Hey babe!" Natsu says as he sits down next to me, kissing my cheek beforehand.

"Hey." I greet back, blushing because of how much more affectionate he's been in the last week. Makes me wonder if he's got something up his sleeve in the metaphorical sense.

"Oh crap! Today's the day we're supposed to hand in the binder isn't it?" He askes, slight panic in his expression.

"Mhm. That's why I'm finishing my last chapter."

Natsu then hastily takes out his notebook and starts writing. He's writing and erasing so fast it looks like chicken scrawl and it makes me giggle.

"Hey Lu, all done your story? Me and Freed finished ours last week." Levy greets as she sits at the desk across from me and Natsu.

"I just finished, Natsu on the other hand.." I point to my cute pink haired boyfriend who is still writing and erasing so fast you could swear the paper was catching fire.

"Wait, did you guys write your own stories? I thought we were supposed to work on it together?" She asks.

"No we did, we just took turns writing the chapters."
