I'll Save You, Mom ✔️

Nashi's Argument and Natsu's Confession

Timeline - Past

A few months have passed and the guild started to become curious as to if Nashi's claim towards Lisanna's homecoming was true. All you could hear from the guild right now is well - ruckus. 

Suddenly the guild doors creaked open to reveal a certain take-over mage, Lisanna. The guild was beyond shock and happiness. Natsu and Happy were the first ones to run towards their childhood friend and they hugged her. 

"Lis! I'm glad you're back.." Natsu said happily. 

--

The guild had partied for two days straight in celebration of Lisanna's return. I had started to notice that after a few weeks have passed, the guild is ignoring Mama - well, Lucy. I walk over to Lucy and ask what's wrong but, she just shooked her head and faked a smile. 

Oh Mama, don't you see? Lisanna is one evil brat. 

I walk towards the stage where Gajeel was singing. I stand beside him and I - punched him. It sent him flying across the room. 

I grab the microphone and I breathed deeply. "Oi. What the hell is wrong with you, people?" I asked with no emotions evident. The guild started to mutter 'what is wrong with us?' 'wow,retard' 'what does she mean'. 

"Stop ignoring Lucy, you all ash for brains!" I exclaimed. The guild flinched at the tone of my voice. "Nashi, don't shout towards your elderly,ne?" Lisanna added.

"Tch. I don't take orders from you, b*tchanna." I snapped. I dropped the mic infront of a suprised Lisanna and I started to sass away. 

"Nashi, you didn't have to.." Lucy cried. I look up to her face full of - pain and depression. "Lucy, it hurts, right? So, let me help you." I said as I hugged my mother. 

--

After my hug with Lucy, I excused myself as I ran towards Natsu. I stop as I see Lisanna clinging to his arm like there's no end. All I could say - ew. 

"Natsu, can I talk to you?" I questioned the fire mage. He nodded and walked with me outside of the guild. We stand face to face in awkwardness. 

"Nashi, what's wrong?" Natsu started. "Do you love Lucy?" I asked out of the blue. The fire mage's face turned to a tomato in a second. 

He nodded a 'yes' in reply. 

"Well then prove it and confess." I suggested. "Eh!? Are you serious, Nashi!?" Natsu exclaimed. I gave him a serious face as a sign that yes I was - serious. 

He sighed and he started to walk inside of the guild towards Lucy.

Natsu's POV:

Honestly, I was surprised of Nashi's comment. 'Go prove it and confess, huh' 

I walk over to where Luce is, but her face is full of pain and depression. Did I do this to her? No, we as a guild did to her. 

I'm so sorry Luce. It's just that whenever I'm around you.. my heart beats faster. It's becase I love you, Lucy Heartfilia.

"Luce?" I said concerningly as she flinched. She turns her head towards me and I could see tears on the verge of her eyes. "Y-yes?" she answered. 

"Meet me at the southeast sakura park by 5:30pm, okay?" I said and she nodded. 

--

Time Skip; 

Southeast Sakura Park - 5:30pm 

I was waiting for Lucy to show up - and on que, she walked towards me in a dress. "Lucy!" I shouted. 

She looked up to me and gave me a half smile. "Ano.. what did you want to talk about, Natsu?" Lucy whispered the last few words. 

"Actually.. and most firstly, i'm sorry for ignoring these past few days. It's because, whenever I'm near you.. my heart beats faster and I couldn't breathe properly." I explained. 

I hold Lucy's hands and she started to blush. "And I realized that I love you, Lucy Heartfilia." I said sweetly. 

"I.." Lucy muttered. I widen my sense of hearing to be able to hear her properly. She looks down and she looked up with me with a warm smile and tears on the verge of her eyes. 

"I love you too, Natsu." she stated. 

Instincts reacted and I kissed her passionately.
