Flaming key (Nalu)

The Kiss

Wendy helped wrap my ankle in a splint. Natsu came in. He sat on the bed I was laying on. "Hey, so how is your ankle?" He asked. Natsu looked deeply into my brown eyes. He smiled trying not to show that his blushing.

"My ankle is swollen. Wendy says that I might have a small Crack. So like its broken." I explained to natsu. "This is my fault." He felt so bad "No this is not your fault, Natsu." I told him in a sweet voice. Natsu blushed "but I got use the job and you got hurt." He looked down. "It's my fault fault for using to much magic." Which was true. "Don't blame yourself, Natsu." I raised my arms for a hug. He looked up and he hugs me softly knowing that my ribs were broken.

Natsu carried me to my house. It was pretty late so Natsu stayed at my house, like he always does but this time he fell asleep on my couch.

I couldn't sleep "Natsu?" I called his name. He groaned. I can hear him get up but he was struggling because I woke him up. "Yes Lucy?" He was on the side of my bed kneeling down. I turned on my other side were my ankle started to hurt more "hey don't hurt yourself." Natsu went to my good side and he went inside the blankets. I turned back facing him. "Natsu I can't sleep." I looked inside his dark eyes. "What's bothering you, Luce?" He holds me closer to his chest. I blushed and I was weird.

"The guy I was fighting... when I called your name weakly he said My... is not here his gone." I didn't want to say boyfriend because I didn't know if he like me like I like him. "What do you mean your something what's that suppose to be, Luce, tell me." He said in a soft voice that was warming me up. "He said..." I was blushing so hard. I can feel the the heat on my cheeks. "Luce?" He went closer to my face and I was freaking out. He was so close. "He said that my...boyfriend...is not here, his gone." I studded so much.

The moon was shinning through my window and I knew Natsu could see me blushing. "Boyfriend.... why does that bother you?" He was blushing too. He was feelings for me? "Because... I told him that your not my boyfriend..." I said it softly as possible but he heard me "oh what if I had the same conversation with the other guy." He was blushing when he told me. "What did he say?" I asked and I was also blushing. "Well he said that my lover is going to die... I knew something was wrong, I told him... my lover, Lucy is stronger than you think." He blushed he moved his face away from mine.

There was a loud bearing in my chest. I had hard times breathing and what made it worse was my ribs. "I'm your lover?" I was blushing but I asked him shyly "yah, I always thought that we were something." He whispers. His whisper made me shiver. I blushed even more "Natsu." Natsu's lips cut me off. He closed his eyes and I closed mine.

It was shocking. His lips are soft and so gental. Natsu warmth was everything. Natsu pulled away. He was blushing. I was struggling to breath because of my darn ribs. "Lucy...I really like you... and I want to be more then friends..." Natsu whispered into my ear. It made me shiver again and I was blushing. "L-let me think about it over night ok... but stay here next to me please." Natsu smiled and he hugged me close. That's night all I could remember is his warm lips and his warmth of his hug.

Next morning Natsu was already up. He was acting strange because he never wakes up early. "Natsu, what's wrong?" He looked at me but he suddenly looked away. "I have to do a job on my own." He said fixing his salamander hair. "What about my answer to your question from last night?" He started to blushed but he completely ignored it. "Don't have time." He walks to the door. He looked up at me "Erza is coming to help you." He walks out of the door.

"What just happened?... did the kiss made him think to much or is he trying to avoid me?" I wanted to cry. I tried getting up but my ankle was still hurting.

Hours later Erza came to my house. As she gave me breakfast. I was willing to tell her what happened this morning "Erza, I think is avoiding me." She looked at me kinds shocked. "Well tell me what happened or why you think that way." Erza Sat on the side of my bed.

As I told Erza she was so shocked. Her mouth was wide open "no way that's Natsu... his a freaken air head. How!" She was so confused. "Well yah I thought so too but his not for sure but what so you think is he avoiding me?" I asked again "so ok he walked out when you had your answer?" She wanted to know for sure. I nod my head and placed my plate on the bed counter. "Well maybe his is not avoiding you maybe he doesn't know his feelings remember like I said his an air head." She giggled. "Ok thanks" I tried to hold back my tears

Erza helped me to go take a bath because I can walk on my own. I took my split off and I was swollen. My ankle started to hurt more. I was alone in the bathroom about to cry. "I know Natsu has feelings for me for sure he dose." I told myself holding my tears back.

Natsu's POV
I had to leave Lucy's house. I know I'm being stupid I just can know what lucy's answer is  not yet at least. I went to the guild to see if Gajeel can help me. I walked up to him. He was eating a piece of metal "hey... Gajeel I need help."
