Break My Fall

Natsu Pov

I was so mad. "What do you mean you don't trust me? I beat Gray up when he assaulted you. We told each other about our pasts, and you told me how you feel like you need to shield your emotions" I felt the guilt swallow me as I continued. "...Not to mention that I lost my virginity to your Alternate Self, to free you..." I pushed away the feeling, and was meet again by anger. "But no...You don't trust me still..." I'm losing it. How could she think so little of me? I thought we had something!

"I...I...", she stuttered. I felt so mad...And kept asking myself why..."You know...I think I'd do anything for you...Anything...But you can't trust me" She pulled her knees into her chest, catching my attention. "I...I've never trusted anyone...Like this...Since...Euroia..." Her words pierced through me like tiny daggers. "I...I just don't want to lose you too" I watched as a tear slipped from her eye...I had made her cry. "Be-...Because I think...I think I like you" 'I made her cry...How did I make her cry...Wait...SHE LIKES ME?!', my mind finally processed what she had said.

I felt like my head was going to fall off my neck, and my eyes almost popped out of my head "Uhhmm...Whaa?" She looked at me, more tears forming in her eyes. "You don't!", her tears started to flow. "I knew it", her voice cracked. "Wait! I didn't say tha-" "This is why I don't trust people! I always end up getting hurt!-" What was I supposed to do? 'Think Natsu dammit! Think of something! Anything!', my thoughts screamed. "I-I", she choked on her own tears. "I th-thought...I thought you were different...I thought you'd be the one...I'm such a fool...No one will ever love me-" She was going to continue to rant, but I intercepted her lips with mine. She looked at me stunned.

(Y/n) Pov

'Wh-What?' I couldn't believe it. One second I thought he didn't care, the next his lips were on mine. I pushed him off of me. "(Y-(Y/n)?", the pinkette asked confused. "Wh-WHAT WAS THAT?!" I was livid. He has the nerve to manipulate me. He broke my heart, and then kissed me...I will not be taken advantage of. Never again. "I...I thought you liked me", he looked hurt. "You think I'm that easy to manipulate?! You think you can control me! What is wrong with you?! I will not let you take advantage of me like this!", a lump was forming in my throat. Just a little push and I would've gone over the edge. He looked so...broken.

"Are you...Trying to say...Do you really think?...I'd take advantage of you like that?" How was I supposed to answer that. "I-I...You just did!", I felt my voice tremble as Natsu's gaze turned purple. "You think that was taking advantage of you", he whispered seductively. "I can take advantage of you if you want me to?" My eyes widened, and a devious smirk played on his lips. "Wh-Why do you think y-you can mess with my emotions like this?" He laughed. "First tell me, why you mess with mine?"

I looked puzzled at the onyx eyed boy. He smirked, and shook his head. "You don't get it do you?" I mouthed a 'no', as the word didn't escape my lips. He laughed again. "(Y/n), I like you back" The words coming from his mouth made me melt. "Wh...What?", was the only word I could get out my worthless mouth. His face got closer to mine, and I began to feel his radiating heat. "I would never lie to you, because you could tell" After those short words, his lips latched back onto mine.

~Time skip~

(Y/n) Pov

After Natsu and I's make out session, we decided to go back to Fairy Tail. Honestly, I just didn't want things to escalate any higher since we weren't 'official'.

"So what does this make us?", Natsu asked quietly. "What do you mean?", I avoided the question. "I mean...We are friends, but we just made out, and I've kinda had...yah know...with your other you, so what does that make us?" I laughed at how childishly he asked. "I don't know...", I trailed off. 'Play it cool (Y/n), let's not lose the hot guy' "Girlfriend and boyfriend?", I finally replied. 'Dammit (Y/n)! You blew it! You fool!'

I waited for it to come, the big N O. He opened his mouth, and began to speak. 'Well here it comes' "That sounds good to me" I was expecting rejection, and was completely surprised by his response. "A-Are you sure?" I searched his eyes for any sense of doubt. "I am", he laughed. "Why do you doubt me so much?" I shook my head, smiling. "Like I said earlier, trust issues" He nodded as we reached the guild doors. "Are you gonna hold my hand or something?", I inquired. He sighed, and said "You can hold my hand anytime" I laughed. "That's not wait I asked" The pinkette grabbed my hand, as he pushed the guild doors open.

The guild was rambunctious as ever, and I smiled at the sight. I knew Celeste said I'd find my family here, but I didn't think it happen so quickly...I had forgotten what family felt like. Natsu snapped me out of my thoughts as he started yelling. "Oi! Everyone! Listen up!" Everyone continued chatting. "Who touched Erza's cake!" Silence. I smirked at the craftiness of my boyfriend. He spoke again.

"You all know (Y/n), right?" People around nodded, or made sounds of affirmation. 'What is this about me?', I glanced at him confused. "Well, she's my girlfriend! So if you even look at her the wrong way, or try to mess with her, I promise to murder you in your sleep!" My face paled along with half the guild's. "Go Natsu!", Erza's voice cheered. Soon everyone was cheering, and congratulating us. I looked at Natsu, and asked myself 'How am I so lucky?'
