LUCY'S P.O.V
"Hey you..." that's all Natsu said. As he chewed his food and in between mouth full: "Who'd you leave Nashi with?"

"She's at home with Mavis. But your brother left for his job. Mavis will take care of her, I know she will." I smiled because that was a fact. The restaurant we're in, this Japanese grill. It's so cold here. I should've bought a freaking jacket, hat and gloves if I knew this how cold it was going to be here. It's a nice place here though. Not a lot of people so it's perfect for chatting up a conversation.

It was actually kind of funny seeing Natsu shove food in his mouth while keeping eye contact with me. His cheeks looked chubby; like a cute freaking hamster. No a sexy hamster. With a perfect jawline and intimidating dark green eyes. Remember what you came here for Lucy. I reminded myself. I couldn't believe myself. I was actually nervous. My cheeks were burning as I saw him look at me. Like just patiently waiting on me—"Well?" He urged. Okay, maybe not so patient.

"Uh—right. Natsu—um I have to tell you something..." I said, and it took me a minute to fully get the words out. And to maintain eye contact with him. But it was hard, because his eyes were intensely on me. Indescribably in a way that made me weak in the knees.

"Natsu...OH GODDAMIT I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT!" I just yelled. Frustrated with myself. I thought it was too loud and freaked out and looked from left to right. Holy Jesus I'm embarrassed. Luckily, though. No one was near enough to hear me. I then I heard Natsu chuckle. "Relax Lucy. You're going to scare off the locals."

"Natsu." I said, with all certainty in my voice. "I know that you—you think that I returned Cana's feelings. But I didn't. Why? Because I'll always love you. And you might not remember the moments we had. Or you might never love me again like I do. But I—I miss you and how you were there for me when I needed you. You became the key to my happiness and I've met these amazing people thanks to you—so thanks for that. I—I just wanted to let you know—that I'll always think highly of you. And I'll always treasure you and the time that we had...there I said it..." And just like that I started crying. Tears running down my face.

Natsu doesn't say anything. He just looks at me with focus. Complete focus but I can't even tell what he's thinking. "N—Natsu? Why aren't you saying anything!? A girl here is trying to tell you how she feels and—and you don't even give her the benefit of the doubt?!" I wipe away my tears with my wrist.

"W-What's wring with you!? Say something!" I'm crying furiously right now. Hot tears come down, "Y—You don't know...how...much...it..hurts...to...have someone you...love...forget you...e-ever existed!"

"Lucy." He finally softened with an expression. His eyebrow furrowed together like he's trying to figure out a puzzle. He quickly slid next to me and wrapped his arm around me. And I cry into his chest.

"I know this has been hurting you. Y-know? And I'm slow, but you know that's just me. But I've realized it now. But—even if I don't remember our history. You're still everything to me. And I know that now. You're precious to me. You know that right?"

I've stopped crying intensely and cried quietly in slow sobs. "No! That's not true! That can't be. It's not possible!" I don't know why but I needed to argue him on that. I've stopped crying completely but my eyes were still wet with tears. "I'm not precious to you. You've forgotten all about me. You don't feel the same way you did before! Okay? You're lying to me. You're lying to yourself."

"Lucy, look at me." He lifted my chin with his hand. He scanned my eyes with such firm intensity. "Lucy. I was jealous of Cana. And when she kissed you, I realized how much you really meant to me. If you didn't then I wouldn't have felt terrible the way I did."

I kept shaking my head, sobbing. Gosh, this was embarrassing. I hope no one is seeing this. God of all the places. "No...no.....no." Is all I kept saying through quick silent sobs.

"Alright. Then I guess I'll have to prove it to you then." He says, as he stands up. And I wipe away tears that blurred my eyes. I looked up at him. "How?" I said, and he didn't say anything. He just looked at me softly and grinned. "You'll see." And then he helped me out of the booth as I stood up. And he held my wrist the entire way. When we stopped at some empty hallway. With two bathrooms on both sides. Both family bathrooms. One-room bathrooms. 

"What are we doing here?" I asked. Even though it hit me as soon as he gently pushed me inside and closed the door behind us. And he left his hand on the light switch for a moment, while looking at me for guidance. "Do you want the light on or off?"

"Oh...um. Off." I said, nervous. Don't know why. We've done this before. Like two times in the past. But so, so long ago. He frowned. "Are you sure?"

I frowned now. "Why wouldn't I be, huh?"

He just grinned. "But I want to see your beautiful face. You're beautiful everything."

I already felt undressed. And then I thought, well I want to see if it grew? But I just laughed at myself. "No, light off. I mean it."

He sighed and shut the lights off. It was easier to do it in the dark. It felt less embarrassing. But it was completely pitch black. "I can't find you. See? This is why we should keep the light on—"

"We're keeping the lights off, okay!?" I finally snapped. Natsu just laughed and I felt shivers down my spine. The bathroom was possibly even colder then the restraunt itself. I felt Natsu's warm hands on me as he trailed down and began to kiss me down my neck. His warm hands under my shirt. He grabbed my tight-fitted shirt by the brim and quickly lifted it over my head. Unhooking my bra and then...
