Welp! Here ya go!

Enjoy, Precious Cuties!

"Oh, Fuck."

"Hey, Gajeel, that's Levy voice-Wah!" Natsu yelped as Gajeel picked him and Happy. Natsu was really getting tired of being picked up and thrown.

"Sorry Salamander," Gajeel began, his bangs covering his eyes so all you could see was the grimace on his face. "But I can't lose this place..." And with that, Happy and Natsu were thrown out the hatch.

"AAAhHHH!"

"That sounds like..." Wendy started.

"NATSU!"

"Huh, so he was the light," Cana said, rubbing her chin. "Then mystery solved!" And she clapped her hands, a smug smile on her face. "I FUCKIN' TOLD YOU SO!"

Lucy stomped away from the startled group. Was this some sort of prank?! He was the "ghost"?! How DARE he?! And how DARE he come and mess up the party! She was going to give him the Lucy-kick of a lifetime! She was so angry!

Thump!

She quickly regretted walking away from the group though.

For Natsu saw her right away.

"NATSU! YOU JERK! HOW COU-"

"LUCY!"

Next thing Lucy knows is that she is tackled to the ground with a blubbering idiot practically strangling her in a comfy warm embrace, humming in delight. Her feet came off the off the ground as he jumped up and down and swung her around.

"LUCY! LUCY! LUCY!" He giggled, rubbing his cheeks and his nose against her now red ones, taking in her calming scent by poking his nose out of the mask. "Did you finally realise that we're cooler and that you should hang out with us?!"

"NO, YOU IDIOT! AND LET ME GO! THIS IS EMBARRASSING!" She said beating on his broad chest, yet he only held her tighter. He wasn't planning on letting go of her. Especially after he just got her. "Wait, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR HEAD?! ARE THOSE MY CLOTHES?!"

"Uh," He didn't want to say 'Hey Lucy! Yes they are your clothes because I can't handle not sleeping with you because I love you so much!' "Um..."

"WE WERE PLAYING NINJAS! SO WE USED YOUR CLOTHES FOR MASKS!" Happy cried. Natsu looked over at his little blue friend. The green sack that he always carried on his back was now wrapped around his tiny face. Happy, you are my hero! I'm gonna get you so many fish!

"Why can't you use your own clothes and not mine?!"

"Because it's more fun!" Happy said.

"You idiots!" Lucy screamed and punched Natsu in the face. Hard. That would leave a mark. After she did she scuttled away from him, standing up and glaring down at him in his sitting position, her hands on her hips. "And why are you out here anyways?! Did you follow me?!"

Yes, he thought.

"No we didn't! We were playing in these woods! And can't WE have a BOYS night too!" He jumped up, only to bend down to be level in Lucy's face.

Lucy was so cute when she was mad. Well, she's always cute but at the moment she was more flustered than mad. Actually, she's scary when she's mad. When she's flustered, she puffed up her cheeks and pouted her lips. She scrunches up her shoulders, her arms going back and stands on her tiptoes, kinda like a cat trying to look bigger, (Even though she is barely 5'0, and compared to his 5'9, it was nothing.) And her voice also gets higher and higher and louder and louder, the "madder" she gets.

"Hey! Why do you still have my clothes on your head?! Give 'em back!"

"NO! They're mine now!" He said as she tried to pull them off and he tried to keep it on. Since Lucy wasn't going to back down, Natsu began to try to run away only to have Lucy chase after him. The girls watched them, either trying to hold back the snickers or trying to not fangirl.

"They are so in love," Lisanna said, biting her lip to keep from giggling.

"I know right?" Happy said, now sitting next to the girls.

"Hey Levy~! Did you bring out any of that popcorn?" Mira asked, an evil gleam in her eyes. "I wanna see how this turns out!"

"Sorry, Mira! I didn't!" the bluenette answered. She was slightly worried for her blonde friend. Although Levy knew that they were only play fighting, it was still strange that Natsu and Happy were here.

"How do you put up with them all the time? I can barely handle it in the guild," Evergreen asked Wendy.

"I don't really know. They did stuff like this when I first met them when we got the Oracion Seis. I honestly thought they were together. When I found out that they weren't I was surprised. After that I got used to it!" She shrugged and smiled.

"Well, I get rather irritated by it!" Carla said. "They act like a couple, so they need to stop kicking the bush and just get together! It's foolish and annoying!"

"I was gonna say the same thing about us Carla~!"

"I wasn't talking to you, Tomcat!"

"So...Are ghosts not... real?" Erza, her fist clenched and shaking with rage, looked as if she was about to cry or explode. Maybe both? "Was it just NATSU?!"

"Oh, SHIT! Run, Natsu! Run!"

"What the fuck do think I'm doing, Cana?!"

"Yeah, but Erza's about to beat your ass!"

"WHAT?!" His eyes bugged out of his head. He tried running faster, only to slam into the red-head herself and fall on his butt. She glared down at him, her sword with it's gleaming sharp edge going at his throat. She would show no mercy. Lucy slowed to a stop behind him, knowing that Erza would give him a worthy punishment.

"You ruined our ghost hunt!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't know you were on a ghost hunt or whatev-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence as Erza threw him straight through a tree trunk. Wood splinters exploded everywhere. Ok, now Lucy felt bad for him. If he was a normal human, he probably would've been dead, but he's Natsu. But still, that looked like it hurt! Erza dusted off her hands as she looked at the boy struggling to get out.

"You're lucky I'm feeling nice today," Erza threatened, glaring at the pinkette.

"You're NEVER nice!"

"What was that?!"

"Nothing ma'am!"

As the grumbling Erza walked away, Natsu tried getting himself out. Luckily his arms were out so he tried to push against the tree yet he was still stuck. Maybe he could light himself on fire? Why did Erza have to be so mean? He didn't mean to get in their way. It wasn't his fault he got thrown out a window by an asshole... He just wanted to see Luce...

"You dummy..."

Natsu looked up from his position and saw the goddess herself. Fireflies glowed around her making her seem to glow even more than she already did. Mavis, why did she have to be... so... so...so Lucy! She looked down at him, shaking her head slightly with a small smile on her pretty face. She giggled softly, rosy pink dusting her cheeks.

"First, I'm taking these back," She said as she took off the mask that Natsu was wearing on his head. When she took it off she couldn't help but blush even more and her heart skipped a beat. The face he was making was so cute! He looked like a little kid! His big green eyes looked up at her, looking like the eyes of an innocent child looking at a Christmas tree. His lips parted slightly opened in surprise, kinda like a fish. His messy fluffy pink hair was even more messy from the mask. His cheeks were dusted slightly pink...

Mavis, I wish I could tell you how much I love you...

Natsu, still stuck in the tree, could only stare in awe at the beautiful angel who stole his heart. She was just so kind. He didn't deserve her kindness, yet here she was...

"Here," She said sweetly, smiling, putting her small hands, palms up, in front of him. "Take my hands and I'll help pull you out, okay?"

Most of the girls had gone inside. It was cold outside. And since they now knew who their "ghost" was, there was no point. (And some were tired of seeing "NALU" moments for they already saw it all the time anyways) The few who remained were only Wendy, Carla, Juvia, Levy. And Happy. (Erza probably would've stayed too if she weren't so angry with Natsu) They stood silently watching the couple who were in their own little world.

Natsu hesitantly brought his large hands closer to hers, as if he was afraid he would break them. He always liked the feeling of her hands. They were so tiny compared to his. And they were so soft. And yet, she still had calluses on them from fighting... As his big rough warm hands engulfed hers, he gently pawed at them. Looking as if he was trying to get a good grip when really, he just wanted to hold them...

"I'm going to pull you out on 3."

He hummed in agreement, lost in her gorgeous chocolate eyes.

"1...2...3!" she said as she heaved.

Even as she tugged with all her might, he wouldn't budge. She tugged and yanked and still nothing. She huffed. Damn, he's really stuck! "Uh, Could I get a little help, please?" She looked over to see the few people who were left. Wendy and Carla had gotten tired so they went to bed, while Happy pestered Carla.

"Oh, right!" Levy said. "C'mon Juvia! I could cast some solid script butter to make it slippery..."

"Yes! And Juvia will use water to push him out!"

After Levy casted her butter spell, she slipped it between Natsu and the tree. Lucy still kept yanking away.

"Now, Juvia!"

"WATER BLASTER!"

The idea worked. But it worked too well! For as soon as Natsu was free, him and Lucy went flying towards the trees, soaking wet from Juvia's spell.

"Holy shit!"

"LUCY! HANG ON!" Natsu immediately brought Lucy to his chest. Wrapping his arms around her petite frame, cradling her to him tightly. The forest around them becoming a blur of green and brown, and the pitch black sky. She clung to him, fingers digging desperately into his shirt. Both of their eyes closed as they braced for impact. As they soared through the air, he spun themselves around so if they were to crash, he would take all the impact. He can't bear seeing her hurt...

"GATE OF THE LAMB! I CALL UPON THEE! ARIES!"

Instead of hitting something hard, he hit pink fluffy wool. Relief washed over him as he realised that they were safe.

"I-I'm so sorry, Miss Lucy! I-I should've done that faster!" said Aries, looking away and shaking her head and shuffled her feet, ashamed of herself.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, Aries! You did great! Thank you! You saved us!" Lucy assured. Lucy was always worried about Aries. She didn't like how she would always beat herself up over things. It's not healthy!

"R-really, Miss Lucy?"

"Lucy! Natsu! Are you okay?!" Lucy looked to see Levy and Juvia running toward them.

"Juvia's sorry that you two went so far! At least you two are safe!"

"At least we got you out of there Natsu!"

"Miss Lucy, I'm g-going back home okay?"

"Absolutely! Great job! Good night!" Lucy called. Aries returned a soft 'good night' back and disappeared back to the Celestial World.

"Speaking of going home, since we got Natsu out, we should be heading back to my place! It's past one!"

"Wow! It's that late?! Juvia didn't notice!"

"Uh, Natsu? You can let me go now..." Lucy said, although she really didn't want to leave, a blush still adorning her cute face as she looked up at him. She fidgeted with the buttons that held his black one sleeved jacket closed. Oh man, her friends were definitely going to tease her about this. Natsu was lying on his back against the fluff Aries made and on his chest, Lucy had her head (She smiled as she heard him purr slightly), while one strong arm wrapped around her waist, the other held her head under his chin. He flushed slightly, not even noticing that he was still holding onto her. It just felt so natural...

"Oh, yeah. Um, here."

"Thank you!" Lucy exclaimed as she stood up since he finally released her, patting his head then made it go to hold his cheek, which he placed his much larger hand over top of and leaned into it, nuzzling his nose into her palm and closed his eyes trying to take in her scent one last time. She giggled at his "sleepiness" and rubbed her thumb against his cheek. "It's good to see you safe and sound. I'm going to go back with the girls and continue our sleepover but don't worry! We'll hang out tomorrow! So I'll see you later! Good night! You look like you could use some sleep!"

You have no idea..., he thought. He just stayed in that position for some time, trying to be with her a little bit longer, when she slid his hand out from his, away from his face. Though he still held on to her little hands...

"Hey, Sleepyhead! You can't sleep yet, you need to go home!"

"You're my home..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. What did you say?"

Shit, he thought. He flushed slightly, he didn't realise he said that outloud... "I, uh, said that I'll go home! Yeah! I'll go home! G'night Luce!"

She giggled yet again. "Good night, Natsu! Sleep beautiful dreams!" As she hopped along to meet with Levy and Juvia.

I won't get beautiful dreams if you're not there...He watched her figure as she left. Not even noticing the two other girls as she did.

Shit... Guess we came here for nothing...Although as always he was grateful for every moment he had with her. But she still wasn't with him in the end like he wanted. It wasn't like he didn't want her to see her friends, it's just... He wanted be with her too. And it wasn't like he never hung out with his friends, actually Natsu hung out with the guys quite often. (If you call hanging out, fighting and insulting each other) Not as much as he hung out with Luce of course but still... He sat in the pink fluff as he thought on what he should do now, when Happy came up to him.

"Hey! You're out of the tree! Carla still won't listen to me! I saw the girls heading back! What should we do now buddy?" He purred happily walking up to his friend. Natsu slowly brought his right hand to his chest, where his heart was still beating wildly. Happy noticed and started to get worried. "Hey! What's wrong?! Are you going to get all weird again?! Should I get stuff?!"

"No," Natsu said smiling slightly. "Fly me to Lucy's place will ya, buddy?"

Happy was at first surprised at Natsu's request but smiled after he understood. "AYE SIR!" Happy picked Natsu up in his paws and zoomed above the forest and city into the night. Only when they finally made it to Lucy's house did Happy stop, climbing through the window. As Natsu put his feet on the ground he walked toward the bed. He took off his wet sticky clothes leaving him only in his boxers, placing his precious scarf on the nightstand. He pulled the light pink covers back as he climbed in on his belly. He grabbed her pillow and shoved his face into it. The familiar rumbling in his chest came. It isn't her but it'll have to do...

Happy came in the room, half a fish in his mouth that he probably got from Lucy's fridge. He jumped onto the bed, finishing his fish and started kneading the bed by Natsu's head, purring. When Happy deemed it worthy, he curled up into a ball.

"Night Night, Natsu!"

"Yeah... G'night..."

"Hey what's wrong? You're not happy!"

Natsu chuckled at Happy's antics. He flipped over on his back as he stared at the ceiling. Again he placed his hand in the middle of his shirtless chest, right where his heart was beating fast and hard. Even this far away she still had an effect on him.

"I've got it real bad...Don't I, Happy?"

Happy realised what he was talking about and thought of a way to tell his friend. "I don't know, Natsu," Happy said in professional voice. "Let's see what Dr. Happy has to say! Hmm, sweating palms," Happy pawed at his palms.

"Stupid grin on your face..."

"Hey!"

"Your eyes look all mushy and lovey dovey...Your cheeks are red...You doing stuff for her and taking care of her all the time... You always worrying about her... You always go to see her... You caring about every single thing about her... The fact that you can't sleep without her...You always going to check on her and make sure she's ok...And OH MY!" Happy gasped dramatically, laying on the pinkette's chest. "Your hearts going a gazillion trillion miles a minute and... You're purring~! Aye sir! This is the worst case of Lovesickness I've ever seen!"

Natsu let out a hearty laugh. He was really glad he had a friend like Happy. Happy would be there for him no matter what and Natsu will always be there for him. Happy was also someone he could talk to about his feelings for Luce.

"And you know what the cure is?" His blue cat continued.

"What's the cure, Doc?" Natsu asked still smiling.

"The only cure is you telling Lucy about your lovesickness."

Natsu immediately stopped laughing, looking like he'd seen the ghost that the girls were looking for. "Oh, no. Nononononononono!" Natsu cried, shaking his head wildly, pulling at his pink locks. "Are you crazy Happy?! I'm not good enough for her! And if she ever finds out, she would feel sad because she doesn't love me back! And then she'd stay away from me! Then she'd never talk to me again! Then I won't be able to hang out with her anymore! Then she-"

"Stop," Happy had placed his paw on Natsu's mouth to keep him from talking. "Take deep breaths. You're acting like a fish out of water."

Natsu flipped over shoving his face back into her pillow and groaned. "This fucking sucks! I can't tell her and I can't stop loving her. I can't do fucking anything!"

Happy sighed and started to knead Natsu's back, trying to relax him and help him sleep. He knew that Natsu will probably never tell her. As brave and fearless as Natsu was in battle, he was a wuss when it came to Lucy, but only with telling her how he feels. Yet she also made him stronger too. He could do anything when it came to Lucy, well, except for telling her how he felt, but other than that, Natsu would do anything and everything for her or because of her. Happy was about to ask Natsu if he was feeling better when he heard a loud snore.

"Hehe, Night night, Natsu!" Happy then finally curled up on Natsu's back, letting Natsu's rising and falling of his breathing to lull him to sleep.

If only Natsu knew that Lucy had the lovesickness too!

Bleh. I kinda feel like my writing has been getting less detailed as the story goes on but whatever. IT SHALL GO ON!

(By the way, I know that Lucy isn't that short, but you know what? I absolutely love the thought of a tiny cute smol Lucy and a tall-ish Natsu! So yeah, please be chill about that.)

Love y'all!
