"It looks amazing. I'm surprised nobody comes here very often," Natsu said as he sat down near the river. I looked around the area and saw a cherry blossom tree. There was another small note on the tree branch. I jumped up to try and get it, but it didn't work.
"Here let me try," Natsu said as he reached for the note. He didn't even try at all. He just got it off from the branch like it wasn't a problem. As he handed me the note, we faced each other and realized how close we were. I took a couple steps back and looked down at the grass, blushing like a total loser.
"I-I should read the note," I stammered.
"Y-Yeah," Natsu agreed. I opened the note and read it out loud for the both of us.

Dear Natsu and Lucy,
Great job! Although, it doesn't really take a smart person to find the note... Anyways, I have a task to assign to you. Say one thing you like about each other. Feel free to go all out if you like! ;)
Sincerely,
Mira the Matchmaker

"Say one thing we like about each other?"
"Do you want to go first or do you want me to go first?" Natsu asked.
"I'll go first," I said. I leaned against the tree and took a deep breath.
"Wow, I never knew telling me a compliment is difficult," Natsu said as he crossed his arms.
"I'm trying to come up with one. It's hard to tell you a compliment, because there's not a lot of things about you I like," I lied. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked away from me. I really like Natsu. He may be stupid, sensitive, and a bit childish, but that's why I like him. I like him for who he is and I don't want that to change.
"Geez, if you don't like me, just-"
"You," I said. He gave me a baffled expression.
"Uh...so, you don't like me?" He asked. I grunted in annoyance.
"No, silly. I like you for you," I said. He didn't seem too sure about my answer.
"I thought you said that there's not a lot about me you like?"
"Well, you can be annoying and mean sometimes, but I know, deep down, you're a nice and sweet person," I said. He gave me a small smile and the both of us were sitting on the grass next to each other, our attention towards the night sky.
"I think what I like about you the most is how you can always make me smile for no apparent reason." I turned to face him, his expression seemingly nervous. "It sounds stupid, but I always look forward to seeing you at school, so that I can talk to you. I like being with you."
Somehow, someway, my heart kept thumping with every word he said. How could a simple compliment have such an impact in my emotions? I've heard compliments before, yes, but the compliments that Natsu gave me was, in a way, enticing. Like a feeling of happiness that I wish it would never fade.
Natsu continued. "I don't know how, but you can make me go crazy about you sometimes. Don't change anything about yourself, okay?" He looked away from me, his cheeks tinged with red. "I like you just the way you are."
I smiled. "You know, Mira said to just say one thing we like about each other."
Natsu shrugged. "I know, but I couldn't just say one."
It was 9:37 p.m. The moon was shining and the crickets were chirping, but I didn't really care for all of that. I was really happy. Everything that Natsu ever did or said made me realize how lucky I was to have met him. Even though we did start off a bit shaky at first.
"Hey, Natsu? Can you close your eyes?" I asked, a bit nervous of what I was about to do. He didn't question anything and closed his eyes, thinking that nothing could go wrong. If only that were true. "Don't open them, until I say you can."
I took a deep breath in and placed my hands at his cheeks. He flinched at first, but I was glad he didn't open his eyes. I closed the gap between us and gave him, what should've been, a small, quick kiss. I tried pulling away, but Natsu wrapped his arms around me, not wanting to let go. Gently, he pushed me to the ground, his lips still connected to mine, and all I could think about was how this was my very first kiss. I was glad it was with him, though.
Because I wouldn't have this moment any other way...

Yay! I finally did it. After 28 chapters, I did it! Are you guys happy? Lol! It was pretty difficult to write this, because I wasn't sure if I should wait later or do it now. But, after contemplating about my existence in the world, I decided to write this special chapter for you guys! I really hope you enjoy it and I'll see you guys in my next chapter!
HOLD UP! Before you go, I made a new book! Well, I made it like a few weeks ago, but you should check it out! It's called... Fairy Tail: A Blind Love. However, I'm going to focus more on this book. When I'm done with this story, I'll be sure to update my second book. I also made Fairy Tail: Rapunzel, but it's not going to come out until February. Thanks for reading! Goodbye~
