Soul Ties

Unconditionally

Lucy ran into the guild hall, alerting everyone with the loud bang of the wooden door. She stood still, frozen for a split second, scanning the room for the sight of pink hair and as soon as she caught it, she ran toward him.

She jumped onto his back hugging him from behind, her arms gently rested around his waist. He turned to look at her, his face relaxing as he realised who it was. "Lucy, hey!" He beamed down at her.

She leaned back, looking up at his face "Can we talk, like now?" She asked, a sense of urgency in her voice.

He looked worried but followed along as she pulled him by the hand outside of the guild hall. "So what's wrong?" He questioned, very confused now.

"Me and Sting broke up.." She replied quietly. Natsu tried to hide his relief, because he knew he had to comfort her. "I'm so sorry um, what can i do?" He rested a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. She raised her eyes to look at him, a small smile playing on her lips.

"We broke up.. because i.." her face was turning pink and Natsu, being the dense guy that he was, looked concerned and nervous. "You..?" he urged

"I love you Natsu."

He felt his heart skip a beat, ready to explode right there in his chest. His face turned to a warm smile. "I think.. I think I love you too, Luce.." He muttered.

She beamed up at him "You think?" She laughed teasingly. "I-I do!" He exclaimed loudly to which Lucy giggled. "Unconditionally." he continued, Lucy's cheeks dusted pink.

The pair exchanged a prolonged and tight embrace, and after gently pulling away, she stared into the black pools that were his narrow eyes. She gently pushed herself up into tiptoes.

Natsu wasn't fully sure how to react. Their first kiss had been impulsive and quick, this was very different and the dragon slayer was nervous to say the very least.

Before he had time to prepare however, he felt Lucy's soft lips press against his. The kiss was light, her lips barely brushing his. And yet, it made both their hearts race like never before. They were both pink with blush as they separated.

"He looves you!" a teasing voice came from behind Natsu. The blue cat, along with the majority of the guild, had been peaking as the two shared a kiss.

"Sorry, we couldn't help it! You don't know how long we've been waiting for this day!" Mira-jane called out. Natsu turned a bright red as Lucy chuckled at Mira's enthusiasm.

The blonde took his hand. He snapped back to reality at this and gripped his callus hand around hers. "Me too." Lucy finally replied, pulling him to her side and grinning. "and it was worth it." she muttered.

"So worth it.." he finished, wrapping his arm gently around her waist, she rested her head in his shoulder  and closed her eyes.

A/N: short end chapter everyone but this is most likely the end of the story for now. I might make a sequel eventually but i'm really happy with how this came out, please let me know what you think! (don't be too harsh this is my first fic)
