Natsu x Meredy

Burning Skies

It has been two and a half weeks now since the former dark mage entered Fairy Tail. Everyday she has seen them as family. All she wanted was for these times to never end. She loved everyone in the guild. They were all so nice to her and she appreciated it. Though, one person in particular had captured her heart. She wasn't so sure about it at first, but with Mirajane's help, she was able to realize her feelings for him. Thanks to his kindness, she had fallen in love with him. She knew without a doubt that she was in love with Natsu Dragneel. The fire mages kindness towards his friends and his love for this guild helped her fit in and gave her a new family.

"Go on now." Mirajane said. Meredy just stood still, too nervous to move. "Go on, ask him." She urged her.

"I-I can't..." Meredy said. Ever since she realized her feelings for Natsu, Mirajane has been pushing her to ask him out. The young mage has tried many times, but has been too shy to act upon her feelings. She has never fallen in love before and was nervous. She was also scared of getting rejected for some reason.

"You can, now go on." She said, pushing Meredy into Natsu.

"Yo, what's up?" He turned around and met her eyes. Her cheeks were red with embarrassment.

"Oh, sorry." She said and turned around and started walking away. Mirajane stopped her and urged her to ask him out.

"Natsu-san, Meredy here has something she wants to ask you." Mirajane said, pushing her towards him again.

"Hmm? What is it?" He asked. Meredy's heart stopped. She wasn't ready, but she couldn't just tell him nothing. At the same time, Mirajane wouldn't let her avoid the question with another question.

"Umm... w-would y-y-you g-g-g-g..." She just stammered, not knowing how to say it.

"Meredy was wondering if you would go to dinner with her tonight." Mirajane said, turning Meredy's face bright red. Natsu stared at them for a moment. He didn't know why, but being around Meredy made him feel really good. Like when she was happy, it was contagious and spread to him. Just being around her made him feel more at ease.

"Sure." He said. Meredy just stared at him. It looked like he just accepted her offer without giving it a single thought. The moment she realized what he did, she fainted, only to be caught by Natsu. He picked her up and set her down on one of the benches and sat next to her. Mirajane looked at her and smiled before walking away. 'The rest is up to you, Meredy.'She thought as she walked away. Meredy woke up and saw Natsu next to her, talking to Lucy.

"Oh, finally awake." He said when she sat upright. Her heart fluttered. She was going on a date with Natsu. She got up and left. She went back to Lucy's and her place and tried to choose what to wear. Since she was having trouble finding a place, she decided to stay with Lucy, helping her pay each months rent. Lucy didn't mind, in fact, she seemed to like it a lot. Not only was there another girl there for her to talk to, the rent was easier to pay with two people paying it. Meredy decided to go with the one piece dress. She went in the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her appearance had changed a lot since she entered Fairy Tail. Her hair was slightly longer, going a little past her shoulder blades. The gold, wing like headgear she used to wear was gone. She had grown a few centimeters taller, but her breasts were still the same size. She looked at the dress she was wearing. After a few seconds, she left the bathroom and went out into the living room. She saw Lucy sitting on the couch.

"So, why did you leave in such a rush?" She asked. "Is something troubling you?"

"I'm fine." Meredy replied. Lucy nodded. Meredy sat down next to Lucy. She told Lucy that she was in love with Natsu and that they had a date that night. After Meredy finished, Lucy nodded.
