I just remembered a chapter doesn't have to be long to be a good chapter!

Disclaimers: Sadly I don't own Fairy Tail. The awesome Hiro Mashima does! STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLIED!

ღღღ◕‿‿◕ღღღ

And sometimes staking a claim pays off.

Oh, Mavis! Natsu kissed me! He kissed me!? Fairy Tail's resident blonde bombshell paced back and forth. Her thoughts going into overdrive at the turn of events that happened earlier in the guild. Her heart pounding hard in her chest whenever she thought back to the kiss Natsu gave her.

Her best friend kissed her. Natsu did. Natsu Dragneel kissed her, Lucy Heartfilia. The dense dragon slayer outright kissed her square on the lips. Well, Lisanna did push him to her. But she was still confused that time since they were fighting over something and was-

"Dear Mavis what am I going to do? I can't look at him straight in the eyes anymore~" Lucy whined at herself. Little did she know she wasn't alone…anymore.

"How am I going to face him now? What if-"

"I didn't think you'd bust into my house Lucy~" a voice startled her. An awe too familiar voice she could distinguish even with her eyes close.

"N-Natsu!" She squeaked, habitually stepping back as she watched him enter his home. His eyes taking note of the action.

"Wh-What are you doing here?!" She stuttered, her eyes avoiding his.

He chuckled. She's so cute. "This is my house, Lucy~ what are you doing here?" He asked her, advancing towards her like a predator would.

"I don't know… My feet just brought me here, after you surprised me in the guild." Lucy mumbled. Her feet coming to a stop, her back against the wall with nowhere else to run. He grinned.

"But Lucy~ how'd I surprise you?" He asked, dismissing the little space that separated them. Lucy looked up at him and he smiled down at her.

"I don't know… You just kissed me and- and we're best friends!" She whined at him. Her breath hitched when he caged her against the wall and him.

Natsu leaned down until his breath fanned against her face. "We are best friends Luce~" She sighed in relief.

"But I want to be more than that," Natsu added. Going in for the kiss that left her legs feeling like jelly. Natsu looped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, his other hand the back of her head. Her eyes watched the flames in his eyes before it disappeared when he closed his eyes. Soon Lucy's eyes followed, letting him lead her in the kiss.

His tongue swept against her lip, asking for permission. Lucy wasn't sure what he wanted. She gasped when Natsu placed a hand under her shirt, he didn't waste a second in invading her mouth. The longer they kissed the hotter Lucy got. And the hotter she got, the more she had trouble breathing. She clutched his scarf, yanking weakly. Taking it as his sign to stop, he pulled away from her sweet lips. He smirked in satisfaction.

"You okay?" He asked, leading her to his couch. When seated, he then pulled her onto his lap.

"I-…uhm…" Lucy tried to say, but couldn't quite use her vast vocabulary. Why is it when I talk to him, I go blank?

He grinned at her. He watched her struggle in forming a single sentence. And he liked how he made her unable to speak properly. Mavis- I lo-

"I love you, Lucy." He said, making her mouth form into a small 'o'.

Unblinking chocolate orbs watched him, and he couldn't have it any other way. He always wanted her attention. Hence, the reason why he was always at her house, annoying the crap out of her.

"Ever since I brought you to Fairy Tail, I was sure I fell for you." Lucy relaxed in his lap and waited.

"There was something about you that called to me. I wasn't sure what, but as the days, weeks, months passed, I started wanting to be around you more and more." Lucy leaned against his shoulder and continued to listen.

"When future Rogue killed future Lucy... I felt like my world collapse… But then, you were scared and crying ugly along with Happy. You managed to smack some sense into my loser sobbing form." He smoothed her hair.

"You made me see that you were still here, that I could still protect you."

"Then-"

Lucy cut him off with a kiss. This time it was his turn to be surprised by the sudden kiss, but when he was about to get into the kiss, Lucy pulled away.

"You talk too much, Natsu." She giggled when his cheeks colored pink.

"I was talking because you weren't you weirdo!"

"Hey, I'm not weird!"

"Yes, you are! I mean who runs away from a confession?" He pointed out. Grinning when she blushed.

"Shut up!" Lucy swatted his arm in embarrassment.

"Well?" He asked, looking down at the blonde in his lap. In which the blonde gave him a confused look in return.

"Well, what?"

"Duh! I'm waiting for your answer you weirdo!"

"You can't just ask me for an answer, you idiot! These things need time!" Lucy tried to explain. Her cheeks turning another shade of red.

"Why not?!"

"Because!"

"Because of what?!" Natsu whined at her.

"Just because!" Lucy pouted. Why the hell can't I give him a straight answer! Stupid Lucy! Lucy cursed herself.

"Awww~ Come on Luce! I want to be the guy that'll change your last name. Not some loser out there." Natsu whined once more as he cuddled her like a big teddy bear. Whereas Lucy gasped and stared at him.

"What did you say?"

"Huh?" Natsu asked, confused.

"Repeat what you just said Natsu!" Lucy demanded. She wanted to be sure she heard right. I might be hearing things because Natsu wasn't asking me to m-

"I said I want to be the guy that'll change your last name. I want you to be my first, my last and my forever Lucy." Natsu said, watching her with loving eyes.

Lucy's eyes glossed her hands to her lips, in hopes of preventing a wail that might come out of her lips.

"Y-you stupid! I love you too!" Lucy cried, flinging herself into his welcoming arms. She cried out in happiness. She cried in front of her best friend. She cried in front of the man she knew would love and protect her at all costs. She cried in front of Natsu, the guy she fell hard for.
