Csilla: Yeah, I wanted to write a really 'desk-flipping & head-bashing' sort of fanfiction

Natsu wouldn't accept it.

He couldn't.

Even with his crew pleading from him to re-think his decision: his goal was too important to just let it slip by. Not again! He had to re-take his most important person away from that vile pirate crew, who was known for doing the most awful things to their hostages regardless of gender. With his cutlass by his side, Natsu dove into the water and began swimming quickly towards the pirate ship that was fleeing from his. Fairy Tail captain or not, the rosette refused to let one of his crew members slip away from him like this...

"I'll get you back, don't you worry" He muttered to himself as he found himself climbing onto the ship by pieces of wood that had been splinted away by canon fire, no doubt. He checked one of the holes where the enemy crew would place their canons for attacking: clear; Natsu climbed inside the ship, where if caught would be killed or worse: taken hostage. He moved through the ship with silent grace before finding his way to where the hostages were being kept; apparently his crew member wasn't the only one there. A filthy blonde dressed in a dirty gown, which by appearance looked like one that only royalty wore, sat weakly by the wall; on the other side of her was Natsu's important person: Gray Fullbuster.

"Gray..." The rosette hissed, hoping not to gather the attention of the other hostages.

"!" The raven's eyes widen as he laid eyes on the Fairy Tail captain; he never thought that the rosette would be able to come after him only minutes after he was captured.

He motioned for his captain to approach them; Natsu quickly looked around before running over to the roughed-up raven pirate. With his cutlass, he broke the lock but with the broken metal clattering to the wooden floor: the two would have to move quickly! Hand-in-hand, they fled from the cell ignoring the complaints from the blonde hostage that was left behind. They were nearing the place where Natsu had entered through when they heard enemy pirates closing in on them.

"Go on ahead, Gray... I'll hold them back," Natsu ordered the raven as he drew his cutlass, preparing to take on the large gathering of enemy pirates.

"No! Natsu, you saved me! Let's just go together," Gray pleaded, tightening his grasp on the tanned hand.

"But-"

A pale finger gingerly placed upon Natsu's lips instantly silenced any protest from him; "Please... let's just jump,"

"Okay... but as a reward for saving you: kiss me" Natsu's hand, which held his cutlass quickly placed the weapon back in its holster before wrapping around the bare pale waist.

The moment their lips touched, they jumped through the hole falling straight into the open ocean. They broke apart so they could re-surface but their lips locked themselves onto one another as the enemy ship angrily sailed away.

"Thanks for saving me, captain" Gray breathed as they broke away for air.

"That's Natsu when we're alone..." Natsu's huskily tone made the pale cheeks flush with vibrant red.
