Trust Me- A Fairy Tail Fan Fiction

Chapter 11

Lucy sat next to Natsu sitting on the ledge, their legs dangling, their toes dipping in the water. To go with the spirit of it being a date, Happy had stayed at the guild hall with Carla and Pantherlily. Lucy couldn’t remember ever hanging out with Natsu it being just the two of them, she was pretty sure it had never happened.

Surprisingly their day had been wonderful and not awkward. He was a different Natsu, while at the same time not changing at all. He still had his dense moments, sometimes yelled when there was no reason for it, and ate like an animal. But there were small things that were different. He seemed to pay more attention to the fact that Lucy was a girl, and maybe not a friend on the same level as everyone else. He also would touch her differently. Resting his hand on her lower back as they walked, or lightly touching her arm as they waited in line.

Lucy sighed happily and looked up at the night sky. Looking at the patterns the stars made caused her to think about her Celestial spirits. She hadn’t been in a battle since Bone Crusher, so she hadn’t seen any of them for awhile, except for Plue her Nicola spirit because he was her pet, and Loke, who every so often would drop by just to make sure she didn’t forget about him. Then again ever since Loke went back to the Spirit Realm he did check in on Fairy Tail regularly, since he was still technically a member of the guild, while also being Leo the Lion of the Zodiac spirits. Lucy looked over at Natsu and playfully splashed his legs using her feet. He laughed and splashed her back.

“Easy Lucy, if you turn this into a fight I will win!!” Natsu laughed, splashing her harder.

“Oh yeah? Is that a challenge?” Lucy flirted.

They started splashing each other more and more, pretty soon they were both almost soaking wet. They didn’t notice though, because they were having fun. Lucy decided to take it a step further and reached her hand down to touch the water, planning on taking a big scoopful and getting Natsu right in the face. But this didn’t work the way she wanted it to. She lost her balance and fell into the water, on instinct she grabbed Natsu to try and catch herself but only ended up pulling him in with her.

She splashed into the water and opened her eyes. She looked up and could see the blurry light of the moon. Kicking her feet and pumping her arms she swam for the surface. She broke the water's surface with a gasp and started laughing, but she didn’t see Natsu.

“Natsu?” She called out, frantically looking around. “Oh my gosh, can he not swim?!!!”

She felt something grab her foot, and then she was pulled under. Nasty tasting water went into her mouth and down her throat. Opening her eyes she got startled, Natsu was right in front of her face with a huge smile on his. He waved at her, pushed her away, and then swam up. Lucy blew bubbles out of her nose and chased after him.

Natsu was already laughing when Lucy surfaced. She started coughing because of the water she had swallowed. Once her coughing fit had ended and she caught her breath she started laughing too. She used her arm to skim the top of the water and force a wave in Natsu’s face. He looked at her, his pink hair falling in front of his eyes, a sly smirk on his face. She put her arms up to guard herself, assuming he would get her back with more water.

He looked at her, and in that moment it felt right. He reached his arms out beneath the water and grabbed Lucy by the waist, pulling her against him. He kissed her, and this time he did it more naturally. It wasn’t forced, it wasn’t awkward. She didn’t pull away at all, allowing her hands to find the back of his head, holding him there. He pressed his hands into her lower back pressing her into him until there was no more space. Men on a passing boat whistled and clapped at them.

They stopped kissing and looked towards the boat, waving and smiling at the men. Torn out of the moment they got themselves out of the water, their clothes drenched. Lucy started to shiver, the night hair mixing with the water on her skin and giving her goosebumps. Natsu looked over at her and noticed her shivering, and noticed the redness in her face.
