Greeting mortals. I am khffbleach9 bring you my second fanfiction. I read a Nalu fan fiction that had a concept kind of like this one and I was struck with inspiration so here I am.

Please enjoy.

Prologue

Natsu POV

When I meet first meet her I knew she was the one for me. My dragon instincts confirmed it, but I didn't really have a chance to think about it at the time. All I could think about was that I had to save her before she left me for good. Looking back at it now it might seem strange. I mean we don't even know each other but I don't want her to leave me, it's like Igneel said the power our mate has over us is amazing.

So what did I do, you might ask. Well it's simple really. I backed up a few steps before I went charging off the cliff. I used my magic to propel me to her like a rocket. Once I reached her I wrapped my arms around her, all the while tried to ignore how right it felt because I knew this was not the time for that. I aimed my Dragon's Roar directly under us and thankfully it was able to greatly cushion our fall. I swam us back to shore and once there I tried to see what was wrong.

It took a while but Lucy, she told me her name, poured her heart out to me, after she tried desperately to get me to leave that is. She told me she wanted to put an end to her existence because she had nothing to live for. Her family was gone, and she somehow believed it was all because she was here alive. I decided at that moment that I would be her reason; she is my mate after all. So I picked her up like a man would his new bride and took her to my home. She had long since fallen asleep, with some tears still in her eyes, by the time I got there and Happy came up to us.

"Hey Natsu. Who is this girl?" Happy.

I can't help but smile at the question. Should I tell him the truth? No, that can wait. My mate doesn't need to worry about that now. She just needs to get better. She seems like she's a mage so she will recover relatively fast but still. Hmm, maybe I can get her to join the guild so that I can keep an eye on her. "Happy, this is Lucy. Can you help me get her out of those wet clothes?"

"Aye."

"Thanks buddy. I'll be back."

I come back with an oversized shirt I keep around and hand it to Happy. After we get her changed I place her on the hammock and take a seat beside her. I couldn't stop myself from leaning in to give her a peck on the cheek. I decide to get some sleep so that i can spend as much time with her tomorrow as possible but not before I lean towards her ear saying to her, "Sleep well Lucy. I will be right here for you, my mate."

So. How was it? Good? Bad? Misspelled?
