Break My Fall

•Fifteen•

Natsu Pov

After I had finally convinced (Y/n) that turning Flaik in was for the best, we received our 120,000 jewels. "That should last us one meal with your appetite", (Y/n) said giggling. "Oh yah, like you're much better" I was trying to play it cool, but (Y/n) started to cry. "Are-Are you calling me fat?" "NO! NO! Not at all! You are the furthest thing from fat" She sniffled for a few seconds, before laughing and chasing a butterfly. 'What the heck?'

"What was that 'I stole the book' stuff about?", she said after walking back to my side. "Um well...You see...Um" "Naatttssssuuuuu", she held my name out for as long as possible. "Iwaitedtillyouwereasleepandtookit" I got it out as quickly as I could hoping (Y/n) couldn't understand my slurred speech. "Say again" She turned so she was staring directly into my eyes, she knows I can't lie when she does that.

I sighed and mentally prepared for the worst. "I waited till you were asleep and took it" I looked at her expecting her to be mad as hell, but instead she just looked confused. Her eyes looked back at me, and asked "Why?" I shakily exhaled and began again "I wanted to know if what I feel towards you is natural" She looked at me more puzzled and said "How do you feel towards me?" I awkwardly laughed trying to avoid the subject, but (Y/n)'s eyes locked on mine. "If you catch me I'll tell you"

(Y/n) Pov

"If you catch me I'll tell you", Natsu said before running down the street. "You think you can lose me that easy", I scoffed. "Oh you're in for it now bud", with that I took off. I gained a lot of ground and was only five feet behind Natsu. When he turned expecting me to be miles away his eyes widened. He started sprinting, and used his magic fire power as a boost.

He let his magic flow from his hands to push him faster towards whatever his goal was. What surprised me was that in the flames I could see little fractured pieces of crystal, maybe I was just loosing my mind. After chasing him for ten blocks, I realized I couldn't catch him by foot, so I started to think about what direction we were headed. "That's it!", I exclaimed catching the attention of the random people around me. "Taxi!"

(Yes, now there's taxis in Fiore)

Natsu Pov

I kept running as fast as I could, I knew I could beat her. After awhile I noticed she wasn't behind me, but I ran all the way any ways. '(Y/n) is crafty, I won't let her catch me' When Fairy Tail was finally in sight I decided it was safe for me to walk. As I reached the door, someone fell on top of me. "HAHA I CAUGHT YOU", (Y/n) triumphantly proclaimed. "What! No fair! How'd you get here?!", I squirmed under her, but she stayed straddling my torso. "Simple, got a taxi", she said before completely pinning me on my back.

"(Y/n), that totally breaks the rules", I said attempting to push her off. "And when'd you get so strong?", I squirmed again. She shrugged before evilly laughing. "Now you have to tell me how you feel~", she let the words slip out from behind a wicked smile. I felt blood rush to my cheeks before I blurted "Strange impulses" She cocked her head to the side and asked "What do you mean?" I felt my body heat up more at the way we were positioned. "What I mean is-"

Right before I finished my statement, Erza flung the door open. "You guys can't do that here!", she whisper yelled. (Y/n) laughed but then go off me. "We weren't doing anything", she giggled again. "Oh yah? Then why hasn't Natsu moved? And he's blushing like a fool!" (Y/n) giggled again and grabbed Erza's shoulder. "He thought he could out run me" Erza sighed. "You two, go home, you can finish whatever y'all were doing there" (Y/n) and I nodded, as Erza closed the door.

I stood up slowly, then dusted myself off. "Well you heard her, let's go to my house", (Y/n) said calmly like nothing had happened. We walked the five minutes to her house, and I threw myself on the couch in her room. "Night (Y/n)" 'Please don't say wait, Please don't say wait' "Wait Natsu" 'Dammit' "Yes?" She walked over to the couch and put my hand in hers. She made me get up and walked me over to her bed. "I don't like sleeping without you", she said shyly. "I don't either", I exhaled relieved.

I laid down on the bed and began to actually fall asleep, but right before I could, she crawled on top of me. "Natsu?" I sighed knowing what she wanted. "Yes (Y/n)?" "What did you really mean by strange impulses?" I shakily exhaled trying to find the words to use. She was laying on top of me and I could feel her heartbeat through my chest. I was trying so hard to form a thought, but my focus kept going back to the beating. "Natsu?"

(Y/n) Pov

"Natsu?", I whispered after a long time of hearing just our breathing. "(Y/n)...I feel...I feel weird things when I'm around you...I feel these desires...I can't look at you without wanting your lips on mine...When you touch me I feel fireworks go off in my heart...And when you do kiss me...Oh god...I always want more..." For a moment I stopped breathing, but he kept going. "Still...When you tell me no...Or do anything negative towards me, I feel like crying...And it's so unnatural to me...I've never felt like this before...So I wanted to make sure this was all normal"

My breathing pattern were reduced to anything but a pattern, as I finally squeaked out "I-Is this...normal?" So many things were running through my head at once, how could I had not realized any of this until now. "It's all natural...This is the way dragon slayer mating occurs...There's only one step left for us" My breath hitched in my throat as I asked "And what's that?"
