Author's Note: Hey guys! This is my very first Fan Fiction. ^_^ I've always wanted to write one of my own after reading many other fan fictions, made by very great Authors. (: The first chapter is rather short, but that's only because I want you reviewers—yes you!—To help me figure if it's a good start or not, if I should add anything, get rid of anything, maybe give me a good idea or two. Criticism will be accpeted. (Not too harsh though, please be mature about it. .! I have very fragile feelings.) So please, read and let me know if I should continue this. Thanks! :3

Chapter One

More Than This

The Celestial Wizard, Lucy Heartfilia, woke up feeling cramped and hot. She didn't know as to why she did since it was spring time in Magnolia. A warm time of the year that was supposed to help everyone get up feeling good. But then she noticed the reason to the cramped part of it. Right next to her was no other than Natsu "Salamander" Dragneel. Somehow he managed to get a copy of her key and always came in her home uninvited and unexpected. Sometimes this annoyed the stellar mage and sometimes it turned into so much of a common thing, she didn't mind. Waking up with him beside her was turning into a common thing also. But lately she has been getting used to this and noticed that there are times where she wished he was curled up next to her. Like in the winter, when the weather was a harsh cold and the snow piled onto Magnolia, burying it in its white flurry. He would keep her bed warm and toasty, cuddled up beside her with his arms wrapped around her torso and she snuggled against his warm chest—despite is being toned and big from the muscle.

As Lucy thought about this, she completely forgot about why her sleep was disturbed and dreamily looked at Natsu sleep. He looked truly at peace when he slept. She couldn't help it, she'd take advantage of this moment.

She took her hand placed it on his chest, feeling his heart beat for a little bit before sliding it down to his abdomen; feeling all his muscles. The spirit wizard desired Natsu—emotionally and physically. Not many knew it, because she puts up such a hard act to show everyone the opposite. Even if she didn't put up an act, Natsu didn't feel the same way for her. She felt like it was one sided the way he treats her—even when they're alone together. She's just like everyone else in the guild to him. He'll protect his nakama no matter what ad he loves them all so very much. It sounds wrong, but she wanted him to feel more than that for her. That's all she wanted.

Still exploring his body, moving her finger up and down between the spaces that divided his abs, Natsu stirred a bit in his sleep.

"Lucy… that tickles…" the dragon-slayer scratched his stomach before turning onto his head to the side, facing Lucy.

The spirit wizard sat there for about 2 minutes waiting to see if he was actually asleep or not before returning to what she was doing, this time, running her hand lower to where the deep v-line was the formed the path to his groin. She just wanted to get a small feel of what he has...just one... little…

Natsu lets out a yawn and stretches from his finger tips to his toes. "Mmmmm, that felt good!" Not prepared, Lucy froze with her hand hovering right over the slight bulge in his shorts.

"Morning Luce! Slept good?" He smiled at her. In a panic, she quickly swiped her hand back to her—Blushing from almost getting caught. "Haha, Lucy your face is all red. " Natsu pointed out and laughed at her growing blush that turned her whole face the color of a tomato. She bent her head down to keep him from looking at her more. That was too close. No more taking chances.

"Huh? Lucy, you okay?" the fire-breather asked in concern. With her face back to normal, she looked up at him noticing the concern in his voice, thinking maybe….

No, we're talking about Natsu here! He shows concern for all his nakama. She's no one special, or so the spirit mage wished.

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks." She says flashing him a warm smile. Or maybe it was a smile masked by a warm smile that said, I want to be your special someone, please accept me as that. "Good morning, Natsu"
