"It's started yesterday, I was chosen as the dragon's food." Lucy start hesitately. Explaining about how she could escape mean she has to explain that Natsu was a half dragon. And explaining that mean that Natsu could be in danger.

"Before I continue, can I ask something?" Lucy ask.

"Spill it out." Erza said.

"Can you keep a secret?" Lucy ask when she has given permission.

"Secret?" Erza repeated coriously. Lucy nod her head in response.

"Well, is it really important?" Erza ask. Again, Lucy nod her head.

"I guess I can then." Erza said with a smile.

"Alright. You know the boy just now, right." Lucy start again as Erza nod.

"Actually, he is half dragon." Lucy said while squezzing her eyes, scared that she will become panicked and find him immediately.

"He? Half dragon?" Erza repeated in amusement which make Lucy scared to death. Lucy gluped nervously before nodding her head.

"Then that mean you're not some bad guy." Erza exclaimed with a smile.

"Huh?" Lucy was lost. She was lost. A minute ago, Erza was threatened her to explain her situation to her about how she break out from the dungeon but now she was smiling at her saying that she wasn't a bad guy.

"Half human and half dragon called dragon slayer. Both dragon and dragon slayer can sense if he/she is a bad guy or not. By him being with you, that means you meant no harm." Erza explain ed softly, so she could absorb it.

"So, how did you know this all?" Lucy hesitately ask.

"Our guild has a dragon slayer there." Erza said making Lucy shrieked in surprise.

"H-how?" Lucy shrieked.

"Well, our master bring him to our guild. But he still live with his dragon and was in the process to having a mate." Erza said in amusement, remembering how awkward the dragon slayer is. Lucy unscociously let out a smile, happy that maybe they could accept Natsu and her.

××××××××

They talked for about thrity minutes. There are many things they take about. Like, why Lucy did the crime, Lucy being Natsu's mate, and also about the guild. In the end, Erza invited them to join the guild and Lucu said she will think about it. Lucy could easily join them, thinking that she is a mage and was experienced. But without her keys, she was nothing. That's why after getting her keys back, she will join the guild.

She actually want to continue the talk. But she remember Natsu and Igneel are waiting. Natsu must've been too bored while Igneel... Well... It's late in the morning and Igneel must've been starving to death. Lucy sure have to cook many food.

After saying goodbye, she walk back to the park where Natsu is. Natsu was sleeping again. When Lucy was near, Natsu opened his left eye to peek a little. And when he spotted Lucy, he immediately stand up and run to Lucy, tackling her with a hug. Lucy was a bit surprised by the sudden action but hug back.

"Let's go home now. Dad must've starving." Lucy said, without her realizing that instead of using 'Igneel', she use 'dad'. Natsu smirk playfully at this but let it go. He was starving too after all.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsy yelled before running through the street with Lucy in his hand. Soon, they reached home and spotted that Igneel was standing in front of the cave with an annoyed look.

"What took you so long?! I'm starving!!!" Igneel yelled at them. Lucy who has gotten used to it smile guiltily.

"Sorry, I meet friend and have a talk there." Lucy said.

"Stop talking and start cooking. I want it to be delicious, okay?" Igneel demand making Lucy immediately go to cook.

While Lucy is cooking, Natsu is training with Igneel. Igneel and Natsu was an impatient person. So, they choose to do something while waiting. Training is one of their favorite activity beside fighting. So they choose to train.

After about a hour, the food was ready. Lucy cook quite many. There were meat served there. There were also some vegetable and few pasta. Lucy briefly bought some food earlier in the market. By the times, Igneel and Natsu was drooling at the food saying that it must've taste good.

"This is so good, Luce." Natsu said after eating some meat.

"But put more spice in it next time." Igneel commented.

"Old man is right." Natsu said , agreeing to Igneel.

"Well, I need to eat too. And I can't really handle spicy things. Maybe next time I'll just cook twice. One spicy one and the other for mine." Lucy suggest. Natsu and Igneel nod togheterly making her laugh. By the time they finished, it was afternoon. Natsu wasn't going hunting, thinking that their food stock is still many.

Natsu soon find himself sitting beside Lucy at the lake side. Igneel was taking a nap at the cave. Lucy was staring at the lake as her feet was put through the water. Natsu could tell that something was bothering her.

"What's wrong, Luce?" Natsu ask worriedly.

"Nothing." She said softly. After that there was little silence before Lucy breaking it.

"Natsu." She call out.

"Yeah?" He ask.

"You know FairyTail, right?" She ask again. Natsu nod his head meaning that he knows.

"Actually, the friend just now was from FairyTail and was the one who capture me before." Lucy confessed making Natsu widened his eyes.

"What?! She is what?! Did she hurt you? Are you hurt?" Natsu panickly ask as his eyes travel through her body to search for any injuries.

"Don't worry Natsu. She didn't hurt me." Lucy said making Natsu relax after hearing it.

"She said that dragon and dragon slayer could detect bad things. They could tell if the person was a bad one or not." Lucy continued.

"Wait, how could they know?" Natsu ask coriously.

"So it's true, huh? Erza said that their guild has one dragon slayer. But they make it as secret. Their master was the one who invited this dragon slayer to there. But this dragon slayer still live in the forest." Lucy explain as Natsu nod in understatement.

"I see." He said, smiling to the blue sky.

"But she offered us something." Lucy said again. Natsu turned his head in interest.

"She offered us to join their guild." She stated softly.

"Woah! Let's join!!! I can't wait to kick some asses!" Natsu yelled in excitement. But he realized something important. To join this you have to could use magic or at least could fight. The question is could Lucy fight?

"But Lucy, could you even fight?" He ask carefully, scared that it might hurt her feeling.

Lucy on the other side was a bit surprise of the question. She could feel hurt filled her body. How couldn't he know? She even could use magic. From what she knows, everyone could sense each other's magic, then why he can't. Shrugging the idea and thinking that maybe he was just careless, she smile softly at the blue clear sky.

The sky was a but empty today. Only a few cloud colors it. The bird weren't as many as yesterday. Lucy frowned a little at this. She has ever read a book, when the sky was a bit empty it could mean something bad will happen. But it was just a blaff, right? So she ignore the uneasy feeling inside her.

"I'll tell you next time, alright?" She said, squeezing his hand for comfort. Natsu could already tell from her first reaction that this question might have related to her private. So he didn't question about it more.

"But.." Lucy suddenly start. "I actually could use magic. But that magic need something and that something wasn't with me now." Lucy was in the verge to cry. Her tears were now at the corner of her eyes, wanting to fall freely.

Natsu noticed this and immediately hug her for comfort. His hand softly stroking her golden blonde hair as his other hand move to her waist to pull her more. Lucy of course hug back and cry there. His body was warm for sure and she like it. She has always hate cold and more attached to summer where the warm air would greet her friendly.

"I love you." She whispered. Off course Natsu heard it. He was the dragon slayer who has sharp hearing sense after all.

"I love you too, maybe more." He said proudly making Lucy giggle at his pride.

The rest of day, they were talking. Either about themselves or about their opinion about something. Sometimes, Natsu will flirt with her and kiss her plenty times, want it on cheek, forehead, or lip. Lucy herself was surprise of his romantic side. For someone that never experienced love, he was good enough for it. Where did he even learn it.

Igneel joined soon, talking about Natsu's childhood. About how he always scared at high height, about how he would snore loudly, about how he will write words wrongly, about how he will eat carelessly which make the food stick through his head. Lucy will always laugh at this and Natsu will try his best to defend himself. And then Natsu will ask about her's.

"Sorry, but it was a bit painful to remember it." She would answer. Of course they will understand it and talk about others.

Lucy could has never ask for more. Having Nasu and Igneel there could even make her laugh freely. That's what she has ever want. Although that deep in her heart, she wish someone other than them was there.
