Natsu's POV

It was late and all the crew had fallen asleep, looking out over the galleon that I called home, I slouched against the rear of the ship taking in the night sky. It felt as if the constellations were calling out to me, my eyes caught the sight of the lion. It shone so brightly. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, what the fuck? Why am I crying? Whipping my eyes quickly, I made my move to my room.

Collapsing onto the bed I stared at the celling. I haven't had a proper night sleep in what feels like forever. Theres a massive hole, that I cant fill. I really dont know what it is, but it hurts so much. Sighing, I tossed onto my side. My eyes locked onto the door, almost as if I was hoping someone was about to burst through and solve my problems.

"Natsu, what's wrong with you?" A young girl with marvelous hair sang to me as she sat next to me.
"Nothing Mavis," I lied as I sat up to look at her, "what are you doing here, you disappeared for ages and then you reappear in the dead of night."

"Let's just say I've been busy," I look away from her.

"I'm going to get some sleep so," I gestured to the door. I know she's not all here but I don't particularly want a dead person watching me sleep.

She rolled her eyes as she moved to the other side of the room. Quickly undressing and getting into bed, I saw her move over to me slowly. Feeling another weight on the bed I tossed over, the next thing I knew my head span, my eye lids slammed shut as darkness consumed me. 

My dream soon ended up being memories I never knew I had, my head began to pound with exhaustion.

"WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME!?" She screamed, glancing back at her I saw her golden hair dancing in the breeze as we ran.

"You want to join FairyTail right?" Responding back to her as I gave her my signature toothy grin again.

"Yeah!" I could feel the excitement through her voice as a smile spread from ear to ear.

"Then come on!"

One after another they came back, scorching my mind...

I moved to the side of her bed and sat myself upon the edge of it making sure I didn't sit upon her tossing and turning body. Softly, I placed my hand upon her head as the sweat and tears fell from her exhausted face. "Lucy, it's ok I'm here," I whispered softly as her breathing started to become almost normal. But she still tossed and turned within her bed. Without thinking I slipped into bed with her, I took her body and brought her into a reassuring embrace, she began to relax into the embrace and started to sleep peacefully. Her soft face snuggled into my chest as my arm wrapped around her waist keeping her close to me, that's when I realised how close we were next to each other. Heat rose to my face as her golden locks had spread across the bed, showing her delicate face as the tears and sweat no longer ruined her elegance. A single roaming strand of her hair laid across her forehead, I slowly swiped it across and placed it behind her ear so I could see her defined beauty.

I felt a fire rage within me, a fire that I thought had gone dormant...

"I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S DAMAGED! I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT MY CREW MEMBERS GETTING HURT THEN DAMAGING THE SHIP! JUST DO IT ERZA BEFORE ITS TOO LATE DAMN IT! IT'S EITHER NOW OR NEVER!" I yelled as I yet again climbed up the mast trying to use all the strength I had to pull myself up the wet, slippery mast. I could only just hear a faint "AYE!" as I was just about to climb into the crows nest when she turned the ship away from the cliffs... That's when my foot slipped... "NATSUUUU!!!!!"
