A prince, a kingdom, and one extraordinary girl. (Nalu fanfiction)

Natsu's Secret

Nastu POV
(A/N this is the next day after the almost kiss...)
It's the next day and me and Lucy have not said two words to each other the entire morning. I couldn't sleep a wink the entire night so I am very tired. Although I don't want to show Lucy that I am weak in anyway. I don't want her leaving like the rest... Anyway we packed up our things and no heading to the next town.

I can't believe that I almost Lucy!! Am I crazy! Although she did close her eyes thinking that I would kiss her... No don't be silly Natsu that wasn't her about to kiss you! It was her being afraid of you. Maybe I will ask her if she wanted to kiss me or not? Maybe...

"Hey Luce?"

"Ya Nastu? What's up?" She doesn't even turn around to look at me.

"Hey can you look at me?"

"Ummmm no not right now." She says trying to hide her face from me.

"Why not?"

"I don't want to show you." She kind of side glances me and I can tell that she the tell tale signs of a blush on her cheeks.

I finally got fed up with her not looking at me and grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around.  She looked so pained. Like a world of despair was stuck inside her heart and it wouldn't come out. I was shocked at her face and let her go.

Lucy POV

I didn't want him seeing me weak and he managed to do just that. Last night was wonderful and horrible all at the same time. I didn't get much sleep and when I did I just kept dreaming of my father finding me and hurting me like he always did... And this morning when Nastu didn't say anything I got scared. And when he grabbed me I had a flashback to when my dad use to hit me. I know I will sound foolish to him but I must make him understand that it was not him that made me this way. It was my father.

"Nastu? I am sorry. I didn't mean to.."

I was interrupted by Nastu hugging me.
I didn't really know why because after a warm, safe, forever hug he kept walking. I didn't exactly know how he knew what I needed at that moment but he somehow did.

Nastu POV
I have not told Luce this yet but I can read mind. I have many secrets that I don't want her finding out. But I know I must tell her one day my biggest secret of all. Anyway I read her mind and saw the pain she had went through. I wasn't able to see too much for some reason but I did see enough for now.

"I think I should tell you something Nastu."

I stop dead in my tracks and turn around. I go up to her and place my hand on her head. I pull her in for another hug and say "it's ok little one. I can read minds and I am sorry but I read yours. You have been through enough and that horrible man of a father will never come to get you."
Next thing I know she had pulled me down and kissed me. Well I was surprised to say the least but I was happy. I went to kiss her back and she let go. She started to walk away from me. When I went to talk she spun around and smiled her beautiful smile and said, "I will be just fine, promise." And she kept walking. I just smiled and followed after her. I take her hand and we walk together like that to the next town. I look at Lucy and I realize that this is the first person that has ever loved me for just being me. I am happy.
That day had been my best memory but I would have never guessed what had followed. And how much pain I would have to withstand.
