The Opal Sphere

From the First Day we Met

Natsu's POV:

"Lushi" I shouted. It was too dark too see far, where am I? "Natsu" I heard Lucy moan, She was close. I rushed over to her and helped her up. "Are you okay ?" My voice was full of concern. She put her hand on her head,she must have hit it on the way down.

"where are the others?" Lucy asked, now that she mentioned it, it was just me and her, alone. "I don't know we must have got split up when the floor went." Lucy was now on her feet. Even when she had dirt on her face she still looked beautiful.

"We have to find a way out of here Natsu, Yukino and the others need our help" Lucy started walking into the darkness. I lit my hand so then she could she where she was going.

"Lucy are you okay?" I looked at her, but she was looking forward, usually that was the case. I always found myself staring at her, looking at her features, seeing when her eyes light up. when her cheeks creased from her smile. She was like artwork.

She turned round and looked up into my eyes. "Natsu are you okay?" her voice stuttered, like she was nervous. I was the nervous one. I had been alone with Lucy many times before, I've even seen her naked and I've never been this nervous before. But now that I know I love her, It's causing me to have tiny dragons in my stomach. "I-I-I'm fine L-Lucy" I couldn't spit my words out properly. "Natsu, you're sweating" She touched my forehead and wiped my nervous sweat from my forehead. I really wanted to kiss her. Desperately.

"Lucy I need to tell you something, I know its the wrong time and everything just stop me if you want but at least let me tell you" The words flooded out of my mouth, dang it Natsu control yourself!

"You can tell me Natsu" her voice still had a nervous tone to it, but at the same time it was sweet.

I could feel my palms becoming sweaty, I made a wrong decision. I should just carry on walking and find a way out, i'm only wasting precious time. We were both stood still facing each other, her face full of concern but her delicate features were still as perfect as the day before.

"Natsu, whats up you're starting to scare me" Her voice was now full of sadness, you could hear her crying voice underneath it. She put her head on my chest and wrapped her arms around me. I rested my chin on top of her head, her blonde hear slightly dirty from the fall. I wrapped my arms around her.

We were just stood there hugging.

"I love you Lucy" I said quietly. She lifted her head so now our face were so close together, I could see her features closer. She was looking slightly up and I was looking slightly down. "What did you say Natsu?" Her voice was teary, she seemed confused. "I said I love you Lucy"

"love, love me?" one tear left her right eye. "yes Lucy I'm in love with you and you're craziness" I smiled. "You love me?" our embrace came to an end and she stepped back. I guess she didn't like me back.

"Why would you love someone like me" she then said. She smiled slightly, like when we first met.

"Who wouldn't Luce, I would do anything for you, I get it if you don't have feelings like mine, I only realised the other day but you're everything to me." I smiled back at her.

"Oh Natsu" she did a small cute laugh and now more tears were sliding down her face "I love you too"
