(AN) I think I'm gonna make life half the chapter the apology and the other half the beach and whatever else they do!

"Hey luce, we gotta talk." Natsu says as he walks in the room. "Ya what is it?" I asks cautiously. "It's uh, about the kiss." Natsu turns his face away.

"Listen it's just... It was wrong of me to call it a mistake." He says. "And before you say it was ok, I know it wasn't. It also wasn't a mistake, no kisses are a mistake. Unless two people are pushed together. Anyways, it wasn't a mistake and I never should have said it was. I know it probably made you feel like shit, especially since it was your first kiss." Natsu says barley pausing between sentences.

"Natsu, I should also be apologizing." I say. "I agreed that it was a mistake, not telling you how I actually felt and that caused problems. Bit just for me, but for you." I look at him. "I don't know if it was also your first kiss but it was mine and I was mad at you, I was sad." I pause.

"Listen I don't know how you completely feel about this but, we both need time to think about it." I pause. "Us just spending time together like nothing happened isn't right." I tell him. "After we get back from the beach I think we need to do something about it, we can't just leave it like this." I say. "I think we should just work on being friends for now." I feel tears forming but I hold them back.

"If thats what you want then it's fine, I just couldn't let the fact that I called our kiss a mistake pass. It wasn't fair, especially for you." Natsu looks back at me. "You've been hesitant since then, anytime we do something that's seems couple like, you start to back away. And I know that's my fault." Natsu holds onto my hands.

I try to talk but instead tears fall from my eyes. "Luce, don't cry, please." Natsu tightens the grip he has on my hands. "I'm sorry." I say while crying.

"No, I'm sorry luce. Everything went to fast, it may seem like we do, but we don't actually know each other well enough." Natsu says hugging me. I put my arms around him and cry. "We can work this out, even if we stay friends or become more, it'll work out." Natsu says still hugging me, giving me some reassurance.

"Thank you, I know we can work it out to." I say as I'm still crying a little.

Natsus pov

Luce just hugs onto me and crys for a good while. We're both right, we know we can work this out. Even if we just stay friends I let it be up to her, though I know I feel more towards her.

"I'm sorry luce." I say one last time. She continues crying, I know I made her feel like shit for a while, but I wanna make it better. When I kissed her I didn't even know if she liked me like that, though I did sort of assume she did.

Luce stops crying and asks me to leave so she can get ready. I go outside of the room and sit on the couch. A bit later me and Luce leave and head to the beach, not a word from either of us. At the beach we stay away from each other.

"So how did the apology go?" Gray asks. "I think it went fine, but I feel bad because she started to cry." I say. "Is all you do make her cry, god." Gajeel says. "I didn't know she was gonna cry!" I say. "But we're gonna work it out, if we just stay friends or not." I tell them. "That's good, at least you guys are working on fixing what happened." Gajeel says. Gray nods in agreement. "Yeah, but I still kinda hope she will like me by the time we work it out fully." I say nervously. "I mean she seems fine now, even smiling a bit." Gray says looking at Luce.

Lucy's pov

"So what did you and natsu talk about?" Juvia asks concerned. "He apologized about calling the kiss a mistake." I say quietly. "That's a good thing isn't it?" Erza hesitantly says. "Yeah, we said that we were going to stay friends and try to get to know each other more before anything." I tell them. "Oh lu, that's good!" Levy says. "I just hope we can work it out quick, I don't want him to stop liking me." I say with a blush.

"I think the both of you made the right move, it's good to take things slow." Mira smiles. "Especially because you both weren't sure about what you felt when the kissed happened." Juvia tells me. "All I know is that you shouldn't worry about it, which ever way it goes I know you two will be fine." Levy tells me hugging me. We do a group hug and talk a little more.

I think we did the right thing from what my friend are telling me. I mean I already knew that me and natsu would be fine so I wasn't too worried. I just feel kind of stupid for crying so much.

From now on I just need to understand both natsu and myself better!

We get back from the beach and decided to play a card game.

"Uno!" Mira yells. "Draw 4." Levy says. This same thing has been going on for 5 minutes. "Uno!" Natsu shouts. "Blue, draw 4." I say. "Fuck." Natsu says. "I don't think this game is ever gonna end." Gajeel says. "I agree." I sigh. "We're not giving up till someone wins." Natsu says. We all look at each other.

"I win!" Natsu yells. "Only cus we let you." Gray says. "I still won." Natsu says cheering. "I don't think we should play uno with 8 people ever again." Juvia sighs.

"I'm just gonna go back to my room." Erza says standing up. "Winner cleans up the cards." Mira says following Erza. Everyone else leaves natsu to pick up the cards. "I hate you all!" Natsu yells.

"It's fine I'll help you pick them up" I say starting to gather cards. We pick up all the cards and make sure they're facing the same way so we can put them back in the box. "I'm gonna take my shower Natsu, I'll come out when I'm done." I walk over to our room. "Ok,I'll get in after you." Nastu says.

I take my shower and go into the room grabbing my pjs. I head back in the bathroom to change into them,just in case anyone walks in. I put my pjs on and head back out to the main room where I see Natsu asleep on the couch. Should I wake him up? I'll at least grab him a blanket and pillow so he's comfortable. I go back to our room and grab an extra blanket and a pillow. I gently lift up Natsus head so I can put the pillow underneath it. I then cover him with the blanket still trying to decide if I should just wake him up. I decide to let Natsu sleep a while longer while I clean the room up, since we're leaving tomorrow.

I finish cleaning the room and go back into the main room. "Natsu, get up and come to the bed, you don't wanna sleep on the couch." I say in a loud whisper. "Fine." Natsu says getting up. I grab the pillow and blanket and we go back to the room. I put the pillow back on his side of the bed, come on just go to sleep you can shower in the morning." I say patting his side of the bed.

"Night Luce." Natsu say's closing his eyes. "Good night Natsu." I say and I lie down and close my eyes.

(AN) I think them working it out is the best decision. I mean I've never been in a relationship but if I was I'd want to work it out at least. Also the amount of times I changed what happened during the apology is crazy it took me so long to write this chapter because of it.
