Just Another Visit?

Lucy's POV

Why does he have to come with me were ever I go? Who you may ask? The one and only Natsu Dragneel. Don't get me wrong, I love him to death. In a way a can't really explain. But right now?

I was planing on going to the old Heartfilia house and collect some things from the attic, hoping to find any childhood stuff or something.

I was deep into my thoughts, and it gave Natsu this worried expression.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm fine! I'm surprised you haven't run off to fight something yet..." I answered.

"Well, we are in the old Heartfilia Estate after all," he said with a 'duh' tone.

Couldn't blame Natsu for worrying. My thoughts wonder, it must be distracting.

"Gosh, time sure does fly by!" I said kind of quietly.

"Well come on!" he said whilst grabbing my hand and dragging me off to the mansion a bit further ahead.

We finally stopped in front of the big gates to the mansion to catch our breath.

"Whew," he whistled, "I swear this place gets bigger every time I come here."

"You get used to it..." I said with a small laugh. I was beginning to miss my old home. I'm glad I could come and enjoy my memories here with Natsu. Even though he could seem careless and childish, he was always there to join me on a job, break in just to check up on me, make me laugh when I'm down, and is always there to catch me when I fall.

As cheesy as it sounds, I truly love that Salamander with all my heart.

"So, what now?" he asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, I'm spacing out all day today. This place makes me nostalgic. We could check my room then the attic?" I replied.

"Sure, just point the way! Oh and, don't worry about spacing out, it's cool to watch the story play in your eyes," he blushed? If he only knew how happy that made me feel.

As we walked into the house and almost up to the steps, he stopped to smell something. Nothing I wasn't used to, but what could he possibly smell here? I haven't been here in forever.

"I can smell your room from here..." he said while continuing up the stairs.

"Really? I thought it would've worn off by now..." I replied.

"Nope, but I think I'm the only one who would be able to smell it," he stated.

"How come?" I asked. I was curious. What makes my scent special?

"Well, 'cause it's yours. Your scent is my favorite after all..." he replied. My scent is his favorite?

Well, to be completely honest, he's always able to find me no matter what, even if I mask it. He is always around me, which, I really don't mind any more. I mean yeah I'm a little hard on him when he breaks in to my apartment, or I'm just a little hard on him in general. Well someone has to keep tabs on him, who knows what kind of messes him and Happy get themselves into

I wish I could just ask him why my scent is his favorite... no, that would be kind of awkward.

Natsu's POV

I wasn't quite sure what was up with Lucy today, but I'm glad she let me come along. I really enjoy my time when I'm with her, somewhat at ease I guess. Thing is, I also get this weird feeling when I'm with her. I've never had this feeling before and I'm not sure what it means. I'll be sure to ask Mira when we get back.
