Hi Fairy Tail Fans, It's been quite a long time since I last uploaded a one-shot (considering the tons of school works I need to do). I decided to write and upload two fan fictions. Part one is Nalu, since they are so funny and I think Lucy has a little (or more than that) crush on Natsu. Part two will be Grayza, since I love that pairing so much. And I am still hoping that Mashima has a great plan for these couples.

Sorry for the OOCs.

Hope you'll like these works.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. Mashima does.

Part One: Nalu

"Do you mean that Natsu?" Lucy's as red as a tomato.

"Yes Lucy, I have loved you ever since." Natsu replied as he too was blushing.

As they were about to kiss…

"Natsu wake up… Natsu…" Happy was constantly trying to wake the said mage.

"Aaaahhhh…" Natsu suddenly sat up making the blue exceed, who was standing at his chest, fall.

"What was that for Natsu? It hurts."

"Sorry Happy. I guess I was dreaming. Sorry." Natsu said while scratching the back of his head.

"I know, you were calling out for Lucy."

"I did? What else did I say?" Natsu was worried that he may have blurted out the actual words in his dreams.

"Nothing else. You just kept on calling out her name. It was like "Lucy…Lucy… Luce… Lucy!"" Happy even mimicked Natsu's voice then laughed.

Natsu sighed in relief which made the cat wonder.

"Why Natsu? Should I know something else?"

"N-n-nothing. Anyway, we should go to the guild early. Erza's going to kill us if we're not there early." Natsu stood up from his bed and immediately packed his things and got ready to leave. He refrained from looking at Happy.

"Aye sir!"

Natsu and Happy went to the guild. Natsu has his usual backpack with his things for the mission. As he walks, a number of children and passerby would greet him. Happy was walking right beside him, and occasionally, fly towards him and lands on his head. As they arrive, they saw a lot of mages hanging around early in the morning. Cana is gulping down a barrel of alcohol again. Macao and Wakaba are playing cards. Nab is in front of the request board again. Elfman is sitting beside Gray and Juvia. The Thunder God Tribe and the Shadow Gear Team are arguing about the best trio in Fairy Tail. It was nothing out of the ordinary. That was until Natsu noticed a certain missing blonde wizard.

"Good morning Natsu, good morning Happy."

"Good morning Mira." Both greeted the said mage who was serving the other members.

"Hey Mira, is Lucy around?" the pink-haired wizard asked.

"She's not yet here. Why Natsu, are you going out on a mission?"

"I was planning to."

Gray suddenly butted in the conversation.

"Hey squinty eyes!"

"Not now Gray. I'm not in the mood to fight."

"That's odd. Are you really that sick?" Gray gave him a really confused look. After all, Natsu looks pale and weak for some unknown reason.

"Shut up Gray."

Natsu left the guild without another word. Gray then asked Happy what's going on with Natsu.

"I don't know. He's been acting weird ever since he woke up. I guess it was probably because of his dream."

"Dream?" Mira questioned what Happy said.

"Yeah, I don't know what about though. He just kept on screaming "Lucy… Lucy…" while asleep." Happy even imitated Natsu's voice during his sleep which made Gray and Mira laughed.

"Lucy?" Mira asked.

"I wonder what it is all about." Mira added.

Natsu walked and walked in the streets of Magnolia. He knew it was aimless. He just needed some time alone; some time where he can clear his mind off things. As he slack some time off he did not notice that the sun suddenly sets. The moon shone above him brightly.

He sat beside the lake unknowingly. Thinking of why he has not yet seen Lucy for the entire day.

"Where are you Lucy?" he thought. He knew he really wanted to see the said celestial mage. But he could never attempt to go to her house and knock hoping that Lucy's in there.

"Well, maybe it's better if I don't see her for a while. At least until I get my head straight." He added. He sighed and closed his eyes finally letting go of the idea of finding Lucy for today.

As he was about to check where he was and find a way to go home, a very familiar voice, the voice of the lady he finally given up hope of seeing today, called him.

"Natsu? Why are you here?" called by the last person Natsu wants to see right now.

"L-l-lu…"

"I said what are you doing here Natsu?" Lucy asked again since Natsu did not even answer her.

"L-l-lu…"

"Natsu?" Lucy tried to shake him a bit.

"Are you all right?" the blonde mage added.

"Lucy! ... Yeah … Why are you here?" Natsu said but still seems to be in shock with having the blonde mage, who was running in his mind all day, in front of him.

"I should be the one asking you. What are you doing in front of my house?"

"In front of your…"

This is the first time that Natsu even realized that he is indeed in front of Lucy's house, exactly at the front of her door.

"What am I doing at Strawberry Street?" Natsu asked himself in confusion.

"That's what I asked you?"

"Umm… you see… I-I-I was walking around aimlessly. I did not notice that I was here. And I umm…" Natsu said in reply to Lucy. He really did not know what to do or what to say. He was flustered of having this girl in front of him.

"And I also want to ask why you aren't in the guild." Natsu said hoping that Lucy would believe his excuse.

"Anyway, since you're here, why don't you come in? You're going to barge in anyway. And I'm going to tell you why." Lucy offered Natsu to come in since it is getting cold.

"Thank you."

Both of the mages came in Lucy's home. Lucy noticed how uneasy Natsu is.

"That's strange. Natsu's acting weird." Lucy thought.

"Natsu?"

"Yes Luce?"

"Are you alright? Something wrong?"

"Nothing."

"So why aren't you in the guild?" Natsu asked again making his excuse believable.

"I really planned not to. I want to fix everything here. After all, we have been rarely home."

"I see… I'm sorry Luce I need to go. I think I left Happy back at the guild."

"B-but…"

"Bye Lucy." Natsu rushed out her apartment's door.

"I wonder what that was about." Lucy said to herself.

Again, Natsu walked but this time towards the guild.

"I guess my excuse is partly true, I really want to know why she's not at Fairy Tail."

"The other reason is that I… I also want to see her. But why in hell did I leave so soon?" He sighed as he realized that.

"I guess I just left her wondering even more." He scratched the back of his head while trying to think for another excuse as to why he left in such a hurry.

Instead of going directly to the guild, Natsu decided to just stay in front of an ocean where he could think. As he sits starring at the ocean, he thought of what happened a while ago and the things he told Lucy.

"Telling her that I left because Happy is at the guild is such a lame excuse. Happy is way too safe in the guild. After all, he is a Fairy Tail wizard and he's at Fairy Tail, so obviously he's safe."

Natsu sighed as he realize that Lucy will completely see through his act. Using Happy as an excuse is not a good idea. So he decided that he would create another before going back to the guild.

"Telling her that …umm… AHHH! I can't think of anything!" Natsu screamed at the top of his lungs before slumping his body to the ground.

"Why can't I think straight when it's about her?" He looked up and decided that every excuse would sound lame since Lucy knows him and his activities. So he decided to stop thinking about it and go fetch Happy at the guild.

As he arrived at the guild…

"Natsu…" Happy flew towards Natsu.

"You're mean. You left me alone. I checked at Lucy's place, both of you weren't there. Then I went home and check, you weren't there. And I searched at the market place, you weren't there as well." Happy was about to cry.

"Happy must be there before I arrived." Natsu thought

"Sorry Happy." Natsu said comforting the blue exceed.

"Time for us to go home." He added

"You're sad. What's wrong?" Happy asked as Natsu looks gloomy.

"I'm not." Natsu faked a smile while Happy pretended to believe it. Happy pulled Natsu's bag towards him before they did bid farewell to their guild mates for tonight.

"I wonder what happened." Happy thought as he sat on Natsu's head.

Natsu and Happy arrived at their home. Natsu left his bag near the door. Happy noticed that Natsu tried to fake it. Natsu's trying to smile though there are moments when his serious face is what Happy saw. This just made the blue exceed even more worried about him.

"Go to sleep Happy. Hopefully, we can go to a mission tomorrow."

"Aye sir!"

Happy and Natsu immediately went to sleep. Since Natsu was walking around the town aimlessly, he was able to sleep faster. Happy went to see if Natsu really is asleep. He flew near him, waved his arm over Natsu's face, he even poked Natsu's arm gently for a few times. After Happy reassured that Natsu's really asleep, he sneaked out of their house towards Lucy's apartment.

"Lucy!" Happy called the stellar blonde mage. Lucy opened her window and welcomed the blue exceed.

"Happy! What are you doing here? It's late."

"I wanted to ask something."

"What is it?"

"Was Natsu here?" Happy asked the blonde mage in a worrisome tone.

"Yes, he was here. But he left immediately. I found him sitting in front of my house."

"Do you know what's wrong with him?"

"That is what I'm going to ask? He's been acting weird a while ago."

"I know. It's started ever since this morning." Happy told Lucy that Natsu has not been in the mood to even answer Gray's bad puns against him.

"Now that's weird. Are you and Natsu in a fight?" The stellar mage asked.

"No… We don't fight… Well, sometimes if it's about fish. But not today." Happy even stated that he is Natsu's partner and will not fight him unless it's about something important.

"I see. Well, that's expected. Do you think he's sick?"

"I don't think so."

"I wonder what's wrong."

"Lucy, I'm worried. It's really odd that Natsu's like this. I have never seen him like this before actually."

"Go back home Happy. Observe Natsu's actions for a while. Let's ask him tomorrow morning."

"Aye sir!"

With that Happy went home happily knowing that Lucy will help him find out what's wrong with Natsu.

As he arrived, Happy tried to sneak in. Hoping that no sound will be made since Natsu's really peculiar to noises and smell. Also, it started to rain. So somehow, the sound can be unnoticable due to the heavy rain fall. But unfortunately for this exceed, he saw Natsu sitting on the dining chair waiting for him.

"Where have you been Happy?"

"N-n-Natsu!" Happy was surprised to see the said fire mage looking at him with a scary glare.

"Where have you been?" Natsu stood up and went near the blue exceed.

"Lucy's place. Are you mad? I'm sorry" Happy said while not looking at Natsu for Happy is not used to seeing a serious side of him.

"If that's where you are going then you should have asked. I could come with you, you know." Natsu said in his usual happy tone.

"I'm sorry." Happy still looked downwards as if he's about to cry. Natsu pet his head and reminded him not to do it again for he is worried.

"So what did you do at her place?"

"Talk"

"About?" Natsu worries that Happy might told Lucy about him calling out for Lucy in his dream.

"Nothing important."

"I doubt that it's nothing important. It's the middle of the night. It must be important."

"I told you Natsu, it's nothing. Go to sleep."

Happy went straight to bed to avoid any more of Natsu's question; while Natsu kept on wondering why Happy sneaked out.

"This is the first time he has ever done this. He usually asked for my permission before." Natsu sighed but decided to leave everything behind him for now and go to sleep.

The next morning, Lucy arrived at the guild, seeing the usual riot caused by Gray and Natsu. She decided to ignore them as she walked towards the bar.

"Good morning Lucy!"

"Good morning Mira!"

"Going on a job today?"

"I'm hoping. But unless these two crazy-heads stop, we won't be able to go; besides where's Erza?"

"At the back, talking with master."

"I see…"

"Good morning Lucy!" Gray interrupted as he ordered a drink from Mira

"Good morning Gray! Good morning Natsu!" Lucy replied.

Surprisingly, Natsu did not respond as he was looking away trying to divert his attention to something else.

"Something wrong Natsu?" The blue exceed asked.

"Nothing." he replied immediately as he walked to the request board.

Back at the bar

"What's wrong with him?" Lucy asked the ice mage

"I don't know. We were fighting and then he saw you and started acting weird."

"Saw me? What's wrong if I'm here?"

"Beats me. Ask him." Gray said. Then he diverted his attention to the white-haired mage in front of him. "Hey Mira, is Master going to talk with Erza for a long time?"

It seems like in Lucy's mind, she can't hear anything else except her thoughts about how Natsu's been acting weird.

"Ok Gray, bye!" Lucy ran towards the request board.

"Huh? What is she talking about?" Gray wondered and Mira just shrugged her shoulders in response.

At the request board…

"Hey Natsu!"

"W-w-what?"

"I should be the one asking that."

"Huh?" Natsu did not understand what Lucy is trying to say.

"Which job?"

"Oh… about the job. I still don't know."

"You have been here for quite some time now. How come you haven't chosen anything yet?" Lucy wonders.

"I-it's because Erza may invite us to an S-class mission."

"Oh… I see. All right let's just wait for her then. I'll just be at the bar."

Natsu sighed in relief that finally Lucy's somewhere a little far from him.

The blue exceed just watched, more like observed, Natsu's behaviour while he's talking with Lucy.

"You're nervous? Why?" Happy asked the still trembling Natsu.

"No I'm not!" Natsu defended himself.

"Hey Natsu, you've been acting weird lately."

"I'm sorry Happy. It's just a lot of things are going on. I'm feeling weird as well." He replied.

"Are you sick? You should rest."

"I'm fine Happy. Don't worry about me. Hey there's Erza. Erza!" Natsu called Erza from across the room.

"Are we going on a mission?" Natsu added

"Yes we are. Call Gray and Lucy as well. We'll board the next train out of Magnolia." Erza said.

The team went out to subdue an enemy, a group of bandits, in a nearby city. As expected, it did not take them long to finish the job that the master requested. They were able to home the night of the same day. During the trip to and from the mission, Natsu didn't even say a word towards Lucy. He will talk with Happy, Erza, even Gray, but not with Lucy. This made the celestial mage mad at him. As they arrive and were about to separate, Lucy pulled Natsu towards somewhere else.

"Hey! Where are you taking me Luce!" Natsu asked since Lucy's grip is getting tighter and tighter.

"You'll see. Happy go home alone for tonight! I need to talk with Natsu! Alone!" Lucy then turned her back towards the exceed.

"See you back home Natsu." Happy turned around as he flew towards their home.

"Happy! Don't leave me!" Natsu pleaded.

"Lucy's going to kill me!" Natsu added as if begging for his life.

"No Natsu! We need to talk!" Lucy told him.

Lucy pulled Natsu towards her home. They went in and Lucy placed Natsu in her coach. She stands in front of him, her hands in her waist and looking at him with such a scary glare.

"You are scary Lucy…" Natsu told her as he sweats so much.

"Tell me!" Lucy commanded him.

"Tell you what?" Natsu said as he doesn't know what the celestial spirit wants.

"Tell me what's wrong with you!" Lucy shouted.

As Natsu was about to reply, he saw tears in Lucy's eyes. Then he heard her sobbed twice. He wasn't able to respond. He was staring at her. Her tears.

"You're so mean Natsu… Why are you like that?" Lucy told him while she cries. She placed her arms at the arm rest of the couch where Natsu's sitting. "Why are you so mean? Why do you keep on ignoring me? Why Natsu?" Lucy kept on talking while she cries. Natsu could not say a word as it surprised him to see this girl in fron of him shed her tears. "Tell me Natsu. Why?"

Natsu stood up and hugged Lucy tightly but gently. He placed Lucy's head in his shoulders then pets her head. His one arm is around Lucy's waist while the other holds the lady's head.

"I'm sorry Luce. Please stop crying. Please." He told the celestial mage.

Lucy hugged him as well. Her arms around Natsu's waist. She cried and cried while hiding her face from the guy she's with.

"Then tell me why are you ignoring me Natsu? You haven't said a word to me ever since we left for the mission."

Natsu still wasn't able to respond. He fears the worst. He fears the fact that he can lose this girl in an instant. As he was about to say something. Lucy told him…

"Natsu… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. It's alright. You don't have to tell me if you really don't want to." Lucy finally looked at Natsu, still with tears in her eyes. Natsu wiped them off for her.

"It's not your fault Luce. I'm sorry for ignoring you. It's just that… it's just that I can't tell you what's going on with me. You might hate me if I tell you." Natsu told the celestial mage which made her wonder of the reason why she would hate Natsu. Of all people in Fairy Tail, she could never hate the man who made her dreams true. The guy who have brought her to her dream guild. Lucy was again persistent to know the reason. She asked him again and again. She even told Natsu that she will never let go of him if Natsu will not tell her.

"Alright I will. But promise me you'll never hate me."

Lucy promised him of that. And as Lucy eagerly anticipated what Natsu is about to tell her, she noticed how nervous Natsu was. He took a deep breath then…

"IloveyouLuce." He said it so fast that Lucy wasn't able to understand it.

"What? Say it slowly." Lucy's laughing as she was saying those words.

Natsu took another deep breath and said "I love you Lucy."

Lucy let go of Natsu as she was surprised of what the dragon slayer said. Natsu thought that Lucy did not like what he said so he looked down and as he was about to apologize, Lucy spoke.

"Was that it Natsu? Was that bothering you?"

"Yeah. Because I couldn't tell you that is why I don't want to talk to you just yet. At least until I'm ready to tell you that. I'm sorry Luce."

Instead of a reply, Lucy gave him a quick kiss.

"I love you too, Natsu."

"Don't you ever ignore me again." Lucy added as she hugged him again.

A smile covered Natsu's face. He closed his eyes and finally, the girl he always wanted to be his, is truly his girl now.

"You love me, right Natsu?" Lucy asked him.

"I love you Luce. I love you way too much." Natsu whispered in her ears.

"I love you too Natsu."

They hugged each other for a few more moments before Natsu headed home.

After a few hours later, Natsu finally arrived at his home. He tried to sneak in knowing that Happy might be already asleep. But Happy flew fast towards him.

"Natsu! What happened?" Happy asked Natsu who can't keep his smile and his blush from the blue exceed.

"Nothing."

"I doubt it. You're smiling weirdly. Tell me!"

Happy bugged Natsu all night; during dinner and even at bed. Eventually, Natsu gave up and told Happy everything about what happened, from Lucy crying in front of her up to the moment when they just hugged each other, keeping the other close to them. Happy told Natsu that he was happy for the both of them and wishes that the two of them will be happy as well. Natsu just smiled at Happy. He told the exceed that he was really scared at first but then he was happy of the outcome of this day. And this day is the one that he will never forget.

The next day at the guild, news spreads out fast. The entire guild knew about him and Lucy. Thanks to Happy who did spread the news early in the morning. Another news spiralling around the guild was Gray and Erza being a couple as well. Every members wishes both couples happiness.

That's the NaLu part of this story. Hope you liked it. Next chapter is GrayZa. :D
