Natsu laid in his bed starring at the ceiling. Tomorrow was the last day of classes and he wasn't any closer now to getting Lucy back then he was three weeks ago. He let out a loud sigh as he rubbed his face. What the hell am I going to do?!  I have to get her back!  He thought to himself. He had actually thought about nothing else since that moment. He laid there sulking when he heard a knock at his door. He got up and dragged himself to the door. He flung the door open. "What?!" he yelled. 

There in the doorway stood Gray, Gajeel, Jellal, Erza, and a less then thrilled looking Levy. Natsu's jaw dropped. Gajeel snickered when Levy rolled her eyes. "What that girl sees is you I have no idea." She remarked.

"Well aren't you a little ray of sunshine?" Natsu shot back, less then thrilled that all of them were taking up his door way.

"Listen...."She glared at him. Gray cut her off before she could finish whatever it was she was about to say. Right now wasn't the time for the two of them to be going back and forth. 

"Natsu, let us in we need to talk. It's important..." Gray said looking his friend in the eye. Natsu reluctantly moved out of the way. This can't be good. The thought to himself. The last time he heard those words was when he was about to kill Gray when Natsu had found Lucy in his bed. He closed the door behind them as they all found somewhere to sit in his living room. 

"Alright, what is soo important that everyone had to come over here?" He asked folding his muscular arms in front of his chest. He looked around the room waiting on someone to speak.

Finally Erza spoke up. "Well.. Lucy is talking about leaving." She said quietly. 

"What??" Natsu cut his eyes and asked hoping that he didn't just hear that right. He understood they were having problems, but would she really just up and leave without at least talking to him first? Without hearing what he had to say? He knew the answer to that question without even having to think about it. Yes, she would. And who could blame her after everything she's been through the past few years. She wouldn't allow herself to be anywhere she felt like she was imprisoned in any type of way. Especially if that prison was caused by heartbreak.

Levy spoke up, "I don't really like you right now, but Gray told us what happened. And for whatever reason we believe him..." Natsu looked over at Gray and cut his eyes. Bastard! Damn can't you keep anything to yourself? He thought to himself.

As if Gray could read his mind, he looked at Natsu and spoke. "What??? I had to let everyone know what really happened. If you want her back you're gonna need all the help you can get."

"You don't think I haven't tried?! I have called her, text her, all but stalked the damn girl. Sent her flowers, cards, everything I can think of I have done it." He growled. He was so frustrated thinking about it all. The only option he felt he had left was to kidnap her until she listened to him, but he knew she would definitely kill him if he did that. 

"God, when did you turn into such a cry baby?" Jellal asked rolling his eyes.

Natsu looked at him as he responded, "Around the same time Erza cut your balls off and started carrying them in her purse." This got a laugh out of Gajeel and Gray while Erza rolled her eyes. 

"Shut up!" Jellal sulked as he sank back into the couch. 

"The point to all of this is that we know she loves you and that you love her." Levy cut them all off. "Now we have to get the two of you back together."

"But how?" Natsu asked, "She doesn't respond to anything. That damn girl is as stubborn now as she was when we were twelve years old!"

"Well, she wouldn't be our Lucy if we expected anything else." Gray grinned.

"Yea, and trying to have a make out session behind the building with her the same day she tried to kill Lisanna, probably wasn't the best idea either." Gajeel said. 

"He did what?!" Levy and Erza both shouted at the same time. Oh great, something else I have to deal with! he thought to himself. He assumed that Lucy would have told them about that. 

Natsu looked at the girls. "She was about to kill Lisanna, like literally was fixing to bash her head into the floor, when Gray and I walked up. I grabbed her from behind and carried her out of the school. I was going to talk to her, but my emotions got the best of me when I looked in her eyes, and I couldn't help myself. I kissed her."

Levy sat there slack jawed. She didn't know what to say. Erza on the other hand, well, she had something to say. "Seems to be a pattern for you there Natsu. You never mean for anything to happen do you?"

"What is that supposed to mean?" He shot back at the red head. 

Erza stood up looking him dead in the face, anger in her eyes. "You didn't mean for the situation with Lisanna to happen, you didn't mean to hurt Lucy, you didn't mean to kiss her?! Why don't you just man up for once and admit that you fucked up, instead of trying to put everything off as if it was a fucking accident?!"

Natsu stared back at Erza for a moment before a tear ran down his face, "Fine, I admit it! I fucked up! I'l take full blame for everything! I don't care! I just want her back! I'll do anything for her. I miss her so much. I want to see her smile again. Just like how I wanted to see her smile when she left me the first time." Natsu sank to his knees in front of everyone. "The best moments of my life have always included her. From meeting her when we were little, to the day we met the ice block over there when she kept me from killing him, to spending our days playing in the sakura meadows, the day I kissed her cheek when we were twelve,  her teaching me to swim when we were eight, to taking her out on my bike for the first time, to the moment I kissed her again. Every memory that makes me happy includes Lucy. I just want to fix this! I just want her back. Please...."

Everyone starred as they watched their friend quietly cry in front of them. No one knew what to say. What could they say really? No one really knew this side of Natsu. No one had ever seen it before. Except for one person. 

"Maybe we can use that to our advantage." Gray spoke with a smile as everyone looked up at him. "I have an idea. ..."
