*under editing* The Power Of Love (NaLu fan fiction)

7.Fishing and a talk with the old man

Lucy's POV

It's been three days since the sickness fiasco and Nalu has turned back to his cheerful self. I have been very curious about Nalu after the incident. Its not like i want him gone...its just that it has already been awhile, at some point in time,it would be time for him to leave right? Even i forgot that me and Natsu are only babysitting this little guy. Master Makarov hadn't said a word to us ever since Nalu came. He hasn't talk to the little one yet! Instead he would only stare at him from afar and wave if Nalu greets him. Did the Master know something?

Well for today,we would be going fishing yaay! (note sarcasm). I could be at home writing my novel now but..NO Nalu just had to use those teary eyes to make me go. Happy had invited the 'Family' to go fishing. i was a bit hesitant at first because i had to work on my novel. But of course, because of a teary eyed Nalu, i agreed.

"Look! Look! The water is clear! What kind of fish do we get here?" Nalu kept on tugging on Natsu's vest. The dragon slayer grinned at the little guy while he tries to balance a picnic basket and three poles or should I say sticks with string that he's going to use for fishing.

"You'll just have to see later" Natsu said with a huff as he placed the basket with the poles just near the edge of the River.

"Can I go fishing?" he looked up his 'father' with hopeful eyes. Before Natsu could even reply, the little boy went to his 'mother' and began tugging on my  skirt.

"Can I? Can I? Can I please?" he pleaded, showing that irresistible big eyes. i sighed in defeat and smiled at him. My right arm was holding a piece paper and a pen, so i used my left hand to pat him on the head.

"Go have fun" she insisted. The little boy didn't have to be told twice. He ran back to Natsu and Happy who were already ready to fish.

"Me too! Me too!" he said, taking the stick that was left idle next to Natsu. It was long so he had a bit of a problem, but with the help of Natsu, he managed to give it a good throw and have the line diving down into the clear waters.

As everyone would be aware of, in fishing, it takes patience. And to fuel that patience, Father, son and cat began eating. I was just behind them, not even feeling impatient as i begun to write sentence after sentence, forming a complete chapter.

While doing so, i was amused to see Nalu, Natsu or Happy alternately come by and ask for food from me. This routine repeated for a numbered time before Nalu came up and he was squirming where he stood.

"What's wrong?" i asked, an eyebrow rose.

"Got to go!" he mumbled.

Lucy couldn't help but smile as he began jumping up and down while biting his lips. i  pointed to the woods and he ran like his life depended on it. A giggle escaped her lips. so cute!

Nalu's POV

After i reached a few feet away from sight, i began to relieve himself. Ahhhh what relief. I hummed quietly and quickly zips my zipper and turns around, throwing fire balls in the process.

A smile quickly went up to my lips as i saw who disturbed him in my privacy, it was the old man.

Makarov sighed at him as he managed to dodge all the fire balls. Well except for one that slightly grazed his shoulder.

"Hello Old man" i smiled. Makarov frowned at him.

"Will you never call me anything else?" he asked.

"Aren't you an old man?" i blinked, as if wondering if there was any other way to address him possible.
