Hey there folks!

This is my first Fairy Tail Fanfic, after reading so many lately and being scarily obsessed with the anime as of late I decided to try my own Oneshot! This is just a little something I was thinking about while running and I thought, why would it always be Natsu for Lucy? This is what I came up with!

Read and review and I'll be eternally grateful! I may even send Plue to do a dance for you ;)

Disclaimer - Do I really have to wallow about how these characters aren't mine?

People always asked Lucy why.

Why Natsu?

Why not Gray or Loke or any of those other men who always seemed to be asking her out?

Every time someone asked her this she'd just smile, shake her head and simply say "why not, Natsu?"

This baffled enough people that they'd be satisfied with her answer and leave her be, but every time she'd think to herself of all of the reasons why.

Well first of all, because he was the one she met in Port Hargeon that day.

Because he was her first friend in the real world.

Because he was the one who saved her from the pirates.

Because he was the one who took her too Fairy Tail.

Because he was the one who introduced her to Gray, Erza, Happy, Levy and all of her new friends and family at Fairy Tail.

Because he was the one who took her on her first mission.

Because he was the one who asked her to be in his team.

Because he was the one who tricked her into taking an S-Class Mission.

Because he was the one to ruin Gray's cool comment when she found him the least bit sexy.

Because he was the one who caught her when she fell.

Because he was the one who saved her from the Iron Dragon Slayer.

Because he was the one she found sleeping in her bed so many times without her consent.

Because he was the one who made her catch her breath as he fell off the cliff.

Because he was the one who Virgo gave a matching outfit too when theirs were destroyed.

Because he was the one who ran out to save her in Edolas even though he has no magic.

Because he was the one who gave her a heart attack when he stopped moving for just a second.

Because he was the one who never left her side, even though Lisanna had come back from the dead.

Because he was the one who stopped fighting to save her from her own villain.

Because he was the one to tell her to run away even when he couldn't move himself.

Because he was the one who forced her to fly through the air with a flaming fist.

Because he was the one who snuck into her apartment and read her book with his flying blue sidekick.

Because he was the one she taught how to dance even though he kept stepping on her feet.

Because he was the one to sniff her out when she'd been turned invisible.

Because he was the one who stopped fighting when she asked him to stop.

Because he was the one who let himself be hurt after stopping for her.

Because he was the one to catch her when she fell from the stars.

Because he was the one who told her not to cry after she'd proved for the millionth time how useless she was.

Because he was the one who always came to save her.

Because he was the one who started it all.

Because without him, she wouldn't have been introduced to this crazy life she had now at all.

Any of these reasons could describe why it would always be Natsu for her over anyone else.

But most of all, because he was the one she was in love with.

He just hadn't realised it yet.

Soooooo what did you think?!

Shoot me a review and I'll send you a virtual cookie!

Anyway, I'm out! xoxo
