Hello! New Multi-Pairing story, this one is entitled Moments. Each chapter is a different couple with the different moment that they fell in love or realized that they were in love. First up; NaLu (:
This does start off a little angst-y but I promise that if you hang through till the end all will be made up for… hopefully.

"LUCY!" Natsu yelled at the top of his lungs. This wasn't right. He was supposed to protect her... Keep her safe... She wasn't allowed to die!
He needed her like one needed oxygen. She was the light that always shone on him in the darkest of hours.
He ran forward, catching her before her body hit the ground. He was shaking as he held her close, clinging to her pale and fragile body.
"Lucy... Lucy... Lucy..." he repeated the whisper like a mantra into her soft golden locks.
"Please... Just live." The pinkette's voice cracked as tears fell from his eyes, landing on her cold cheek. She smiled up at him, bringing a shaking hand up to his face as she caressed his tanned cheek.
"Natsu, don't cry." she whispered shakily. She had always loved her dragon slayer, and very few times had he actually cried. Her broken and fragile voice caused more tears to slip out of his eyes as he shook. Every woman he ever loved ended up like this... Dying before he could tell her. Maybe he just shouldn't fall in love anymore...
She began to cough and he tightened his grip. As she slowly began to drift, Natsu pulled her closer to him, slowly moving to where his face was millimeters from hers.
"Nat-," she was silenced by his lips draping across hers. She smiled as she lightly kissed him back, a tear slid down her face as she began to feel her final moments eclipse her consciousness.
When they parted he smiled and touched their foreheads against one another.
"I love you, Lucy." He said and she smiled and nodded slowly.
"Natsu... Wake up!" His brows furrowed and he looked at her as though she grew two heads. The moment was the same, her face still in that beautiful heart-aching smile, yet she was telling him to... Wake up?
"Natsu, wake up already!" This time his vision started to swirl before finally he shot upwards into a sitting position.
"LUCY!" His obsidian eyes locked onto her form. She was on her knees on the bed, arms crossed over her scantily clad chest, her hair a mess as she glared at the Fire Dragon Slayer.
"I swear, Natsu, if I catch you in my bed one more... Time!" she exclaimed the end as Natsu tackled her into a hug. She awkwardly hugged him and she furrowed her brows.
"Natsu...?" she questioned but silenced herself when she felt something wet hit her shoulder; he was crying.
"What's the matter?" She probed.
"I thought you died. It too that for me to realize..." He pulled back and looked into her warm brown orbs, his eyes brightening with determination.
"Realize what?" Lucy was getting really tired of playing 20 questions with him, and if he didn't tell her soon she would summon out Aquarius, flush him away, and then go back to sleep.
"I love you, Luce." He smiled brightly and her face turned bright red, and she began to stutter like a fish out of water.
"I- you- we- when- WHAT!?" Her yell could be heard all the way at the guild.
Natsu laughed as she fell backwards with her face so red it looked like it was steaming.
"Weirdo." But he knew in that moment, it took that awful nightmare to realize how much he needed her.
He would not let that nightmare come true at the cost of everything.
