Her Protector ~NaLu~

~Chapter fifteen~

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You only need to accept yourself.

~Lucy's POV

Loki was helping me stand up. Natsu was really beating the person up. If I could, I'd probably see the steam coming out of his ears.

"Apologize to Lucy!" he roared at the man, continiuing to use his magic at him mercilessly.

Other men were coming to Natsu to attack him and help their friend. Sadly for them Loki was already waiting for them. "I won't let you harm Lucy and anyone else again."

It looked like a child's play to Natsu and Loki. Erza was with me and looked at them fighting together.

"They are accepting each other, aren't they?"

I nodded, humming in agreement. I thought the same thing. There wasn't an awkward aura around them.

In the meanwhile I walked to Gray. He was still chained to the wall and asleep. My face grimaced when I looked at his cuts.

I untied him and he fell on the ground. I hugged him in his unconscious state. "We got you," I spoke in his ear. I laid him down on the ground and stood up.

I went to the kids and also untied them. The fight was over. They couldn't stand a chance against Natsu. And I'm so glad he is my spirit and my friend.

Elysia came running to me. "Lucy! I thought this would be the end." There were tears in her eyes, a part of her was still afraid.

I bended down and hugged her, whispering sweet words to her.

Our group ensembled and we stood outside the building. The magic council came and arrested the bad guys. The children were sent home with the help of some escorts.

Elysia would come with us to Fairy Tail, to her mother. Unconscious Gray, Erza, Natsu, Loki and I were sitting in a circle.

"Well, this is over again," Erza spoke and transformed into her normal armor.

Natsu had his arms hanging on his side and he was looking away. "Thank you, Loki, Natsu."

Loki smiled and put a strand of my hair behind my ear, "You're welcome, wifey." I chuckled and playfully pushed him away.

He went against Natsu. "The fuck Loki. Don't touch me." Everyone laughed at this. We all were sitting in a cafe, relaxing.

Gray was with us too, he was sleeping against Erza. She didn't mind it.

"Natsu," I spoke, getting his attention. He looked at me with those guilty eyes. "I'm glad. I'm so glad you are back."

He nodded and picked my hand from the table to hold it in his own hands. "You've forgiven me, right?"

I nodded and I looked at his eyes, they were sincery now. "I have too, finally."

Elysia was sitting on my lap. We couldn't leave her. She was giggling and on her face was whip cream.

"Look look! He has pink hair! And why does he has a suit on? What's the occasion?" The last part was for Loki.

Loki smiled at her, "So I can show off my beautiful being to everyone." I half snorted at that, making him playfully push me.
