LUCY's POV

I WAS practically sitting at the edge of the pool while holding a guitar that I found inside my room. I don't even know that I have this one – my eyes went to the sky where I can see the half of the full moon was covered by a cloud.

After what happened inside my sister's room. Natsu let me alone – and I was really thankful that he never bothers me after that.

'You are not alone, Lucy' I close my eyes when the wind breeze whip around me. I don't even know if I will believe it. I mean, he told me that he won't stay with me three days ago and now acting like this towards me is really confusing me.

Well, I should be mad at him. But, now that I'm calm down and have time to assess my feelings. I can't get myself to be mad at him. Which is really weird, I clench my fist and pull my thighs so I could hug it.

I let out another sigh, when I saw the cloud covered the moon "Whether the moon shining or not, the night looks the same" I mumble - it sounds like I was sarcastic which I'm not planning too. A gasp escaped from my lips when all of a sudden – I felt someone put a jacket around my shoulder. I look at my side where I can see him standing.

Before I even utter a word – the clouds move at just the right moment, fully lightning his face and the entire place "Now do you realize this view is much better than the previous one?" he said.

I mentally roll my eyes "Moon and night is always the same. They aren't that different"

He didn't say anything on me instead he just gave me a reassuring smile before he sat down right next to me. "Of course, they are" He let out a sigh as he look at the sky "Few minutes ago, you are alone. But now, I'm here with you."

My mouth parted as I look at his face – his eyes are fixed on the sky and I get this opportunity to look at his face. Damn, how I miss this guy! I mentally shook my head. Fuck! My curse mind. I shouldn't feel this way. I can't and I shouldn't.

"Every sight you see with me will look different." His eyes went back on me before he gently tucks my hair behind my ear "Sitting like this," he pauses "Won't make you sad but instead will make you happy. Mark my word, Vanilla"

"Why are you doing this, Natsu?" I mumble "I told you were over. I don't want to play your game. You don't need to do this" I felt my heart clench in pain as I say those words but I tried to remain calm. I don't even know why I'm feeling this kind of pain every time I push him away.

I don't know why my heart keeps on beating so fast. I don't know why I'm happy whenever his around. I don't know what's going inside me. And to tell you honestly, I'm getting scared of this. I'm getting scared of this emotion that starts to bloom inside me. Or maybe this was my temporary insanity?

Natsu let out a deep sigh, "I'm not doing this because of that—"gently caressed my cheeks "I want to stay with you before I return to Magnolia"

I chuckle as I remove his hand on my cheeks "So you are just doing this because of your guilt, or maybe your pity"

Natsu hold my face with his both hand as he made me look at his face "Of course not!" Natsu gently brush his fingers with my hair as he press his forehead into mine "I'm not doing this out of guilt or pity. I'm doing because I wanted too. I wanted to be with you."

"Natsu—"

"I'm sorry for acting like a jerk this past days. I was hurt when you told me that you hated me. I thought, that how could I keep my promise to you if you hate me. I was... I don't fucking know what to do that time, Luce. So I just leave and asked your parents if they could tell you about me going back to Magnolia. But I guess, my decision make it even worse" I bit my lower lips when I saw his tears started to form into his eyes "I might not be there for you but I intended to keep my promise with you."

"You know what kind of promise you made with me, Natsu" I says trying my best to calm myself even though I can feel my heart clenching in pain "You promise me that you will stay with me."

"And I intended to keep it"

"I don't know if I'm going to believe you" I said as I shake my head a little "I'm sorry."

Natsu held my hand as he gently squeeze it "I understand" he murmurs as he planted a soft kiss at the back of my hand "I'm here, Vanilla."

Maybe or maybe not.

"HOLY sheezums!"

Those words came out of my lips in a breath of surprise as if I'm about to choke. I can't believe that I need to freaking do this. I jump on my place after I put the hotdog on the frying pan.

A gasped escaped from my lips when as I heard a faint explosion coming from the pan in front of me. I retreated again to further my distance from the stove. Why it's so hard to cook a hotdog!

I should just order my breakfast instead of cooking and making myself as a domestic girlfriend. And take note, I wasn't even his girlfriend. This is the result of me thinking of what Natsu had said to me last night. Well, not really about what he said, it was about my own damn feelings who is hard for me to decipher.

My goddamned feelings. I don't know how to fucking comprehend my own feelings right now especially that he was around. I'm so fucking confused about his words, his actions, my feelings and everything.

Another gasp escaped from my lips when I tried to reach to flip the hotdog on his side "Damn!" I whine "I should just make a damn cereal instead of doing this""I curse under my breath when the oil make another sound "I surrender!" I whine almost like I was about to cry.

"Are you being held at gunpoint by a... hotdog?" he said disbelief is really visible on his face.

"Natsu!" Oh God! My hero is here. I immediately went to his side and held his both hand. Natsu frown by my action and I smile sweetly to him as I pass on his hand the spatula "That hotdog keeps on firing me using that oil!"

He looked down at me, his eyes blinking a couple of times as if he's trying to process what I'm saying. He look sleepy – his hair is a messed but it looks so good to him. Handsomely disheveled.

Natsu let out a sigh before – he step forward and kill the stove before looking at me once again, "You got all of this messed from frying a hotdog" he asked in a confused tone.

I pouted and cross my arms below my breast "I don't even know how to cook Natsu."

"And?"

"That poor hotdog is my supposedly first cuisine" I said as I roll my eyes. Natsu chuckle under his breath which makes me blush furiously. Natsu slowly walked towards as me before he held out his hand and gently patted my head which took me by surprise.

"Well," he started before looking back to the hotdog that I put on the plate, "for the first time" his eyes went back to mine "You really need lots of training" I scowl which makes him smile even more.

"Training my ass" I mumble.

He chuckle before he pulls me into a hug – I felt his hand gently caressed my hair "My Vanilla is very adorable"

"My? Really? My Vanilla?" I said sarcastically as I push him a little and held his gaze "I never remember that I belong to you, Mister Dragneel"

His lips twisted into an impish smile before he fended off my hair behind my ears "You will be," I open my mouth to say something but his lips covered mine – it wasn't that long kiss that we shared before but it was enough to make my heart goes into wild "Trust me, Vanilla" he murmurs.

I blush furiously as I divert my eyes to the ground "Can you just make a breakfast, Natsu" I said "I'm too hungry and you being a flirt won't bring any good" to my heart, damn.

"Sit down" I harrumphed and do what he told "I need sustenance if I'm going to keep up with your bratty – attitude"

I scowl "The last part is not necessary!"

I watched every moves he made and moments later – our breakfast is ready. My mouth parted as I look at the food in front of us. It wasn't long that he stepped in on the kitchen and he instantly created a fried rice, a scrambled egg, hotdog, and soup – and take note, he even made a hot chocolate for me.

"Woah!" that word barely escaped my lips – I heard him chuckle so I lift my head and met his gaze "How can you do this all?"

Natsu shrugged his shoulder and genuinely smile "I'm a man with lots of skills, Vanilla"

"Right." I said sarcastically earning a wholeheartedly laugh from him – a smile instantly flustered with my lips. I feel so happy hearing him laugh like that.

"Vanilla?"

"Yes?" I say as I drink my hot chocolate slowly.

"Please don't be mad at me" I gape at him but my lips remained sealed as I waited for him to continue. Natsu reached my hand as he gently squeeze it "Please?" he plea.

I smile on him as I squeeze his hand back "I'm not mad at you, idiot" I murmur.

His eyes shine with pure of happiness as he held my gaze "Really?" I nodded and smile "Then if you really not mad at me... then"

"Then?"

"Then after our breakfast" he pauses his cheeks blush a little "Will you kiss me, Vanilla?"

What did he said?
