Credit to the artist! This is so adorable!! It hit my NaLu feels (*~*)/

~Lucy's POV~

"Lucy?" As I looked up, I knew who he was when I first looked at him. "Pink hair, white scarf. It's him. It's definitely him." I quickly got up and hugged him. He feels a little bit sweaty, but I don't care.

"W-W-What are you do-"

"Natsu... I finally found you." My tears slowly flowed down to his shirt. "I was scared but now... I'm not scared anymore." I sniffed and quickly wiped my tears. He wraps his arms around my waist in an embrace.

"All these years... I was worried... about you." he said. He hugs me again, tightly.

"Natsu?" I asked. This action made me surprised.

"I was so worried... About how your dad might've mistreated you... You shouldn't have gone... It was my fault that I didn't protect you on that day. I'm sorry." he said with a sad tone. I gasped. He was worried about me? I didn't know why but smiled again. I felt happy.

"You big dummy. It wasn't your fault." I said in a cheerful way. "I'm just glad I got out."

"Yep and I'm glad that you're okay... Heh, it's great to see the hard head, Lucy Heart-" I quickly covered his mouth.

"Shh! Don't say my real name!" I whispered. And what does he mean by my head??

Oh wait.... Our first meeting.

We looked at each other. He was still holding my waists. My cheeks burns up. "U-Um Natsu? You can let go of me." I said getting flustered.

"O-oh sorry." he mumbled since my hand is still covering his mouth. I let go of his mouth. "Why can't I call you by your full name?" he asks me.

"I will explain it to you later. Right now is not the time. Just call me Lucilia Ashley." I said.

"Sounds fancy." I chuckled.

"But wow... Lucy you have matured. A lot." He said.

"Well, what would you expect? Seven years can really change you. Like you. You're not so little anymore." I teased.

"Tch, what do you mean by little? I was taller than you." He teased. I chuckled.

"Yeah, true."

I can't believe we are actually having a casual conversation. Natsu's personality didn't change at all. He's still the childish Natsu, yet protective.

"But, let's go to my house! Wendy and my mom is going to be so happy to see you." We laugh and walk next by each other.

"So, Lucilia-"

"Just call me Lucy. It'll be my nickname." I said.

------------

"So Luce, how did you end up here?" he asked me.

"Well, one of my maids helped me escape that prison, and I paid for a ticket on the train and here I am." I said.

"Wait a minute... You escaped??"

"Yeah..." He looks at me in a worried face. "It's alright! If I get caught it'll be my responsibility. I'm just taking a little vacation." I smiled, trying to convince him.

He sighs and ruffled his hair. " Why do you always get into trouble?..." He opens one eye and looks down at me.

"Alright, just so you know, I'll protect you..." I look up at him and smiled slightly. He covered his mouth with his scarf.
