"I mean, I would, but I just feel so nervous talking to you. Don't laugh at me though! You're making me feel worse," he mutters, his shoulders drooping. I can see some people looking at us suggestively and I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Natsu, I'm the same old [Name], what's changed is your feelings for me, right?" I question. Natsu stares at me seriously and shakes his head.

"Not just my feelings, [Name]. My whole perspective of you changed. Everytime I hear you smile, my heart skips, and everytime I see you, I feel like my world brightened up like Jesus came down to encourage me or something," he says with a serious expression.

Ahhh, my heart.

It's hammering against my chest like crazy and my stomach is doing freaking flips.

My face feels hot and my mind is going crazy.

"Oh. . .I didn't think you thought that strong," I whispered, bringing my hands up to my face.

"Just kiss already! You guys are acting like high school girls!" I hear Lucy shout and I look at her. She has a grin on her face and she nods.

"No, not in front of me, please!" Lisanna shouts, sitting beside Lucy, laughing. "Just kidding! Make out, lovely children!" Seeing a smile like that on Lucy's face tells me that she's okay with Natsu and me. I feel so relieved.

"If you guys really lock lips, I will smash your head to a wall," Gajeel mutters and me and Natsu growl at the Iron Dragon Slayer.

"Shut up, Gajeel! Want to fight?!" Natsu and I shout simultaneously.

"THEY'RE GONNA TEAM UP! THIS IS A FIRST!"

Gajeel stands up and cracks his knuckles. "Let's go, idiots."

"Alright, you metal freak!" I shout, furrowing my brows.

"Be quiet! This is a party! There is no fighting!"

Natsu and I look towards the voice and we see Makarov.

"Master Makarov/Jiichan!"

"Oh, you guys finally got your bodies back. Good. It was so confusing that my brain almost exploded," Makarov says and sighs. I laugh and then point at Natsu.

"Remember, he started all of this."

"What?! [Name]? I thought we were getting along fine!"

"Well, I just got back from a meeting, and I'm glad to see you guys are back. It was a bit too quiet without you both. Welcome back," Makarov says. I look at Natsu and he looks back at me and we grin.

"Master said it was quiet without us!" I whisper and he giggles.

"I know! He missed us!"

"EH? They're like teenager girls!"

Makarov sighs and then shakes his head. "All these kids never grow up, do they?"

"Jiichan, what abou---- what about me? Aren't I a grown up?" A drunk Laxus walks up to Makarov.

"L-Laxus?!" Freed cries and grabs Laxus's waist. "You mustn't talk like that! We need to get you to bed!" (I always thought his name was FRIED. goddammit. I had to look online just to find out his name -.-)

"Laxus, go to sleep. You're wasted," Makarov shakes his head, his hands behind his back. Laxus begins to weep and he falls on top of Freed.

"Jiichan don't love me. . . ."

"Laxus! Y-you're squishing me!"

I burst out laughing at the scene and wipe away the tears that begin to form at the corner of my eyes. God, this was way too funny! I cover my mouth to prevent even more laughter and then turn to look at Natsu, only to find out that he's looking at me with such earnest eyes that I choke on my saliva. I cough and pat my chest, cheeks heating up. I glance at him and he's still staring at me with that adorable expression. "I. . .really do like you, [Name]," Natsu suddenly says and I stare at him with wide eyes.

Ah, what do I say?

I mean this isn't my first time being confessed to, but my rival, saying something like this to me is making my heart beat so loud!

Natsu clears his throat and then looks away bashfully. "S-sorry, I was thinking how cute and beautiful you were and I couldn't keep my eyes off of you."

Was Natsu ever this direct. . .and so cute?

"Thanks," I manage to say despite my beating heart.

This is like the one thousandth time he made my heart go doki doki!

Natsu gives me a smile and my hands immediately grabs his cheeks.

I really want to kiss him.

I bring his face towards mine and then I give him a quick kiss. I pull away immediately and smile widely. "You're too cute," I admit. Natsu stares at me and then he suddenly faints. My eyes widen and I grab the collar of his vest to prevent him from falling. "Fire breath!" Then, I suddenly notice that everyone in the whole entire guild is looking at me. "What?" I question.

"Y-you. . . ," Wakaba stammers.

"YOU GUYS REALLY ARE CRAZY FOR EACH OTHER!" Jet and Droy shout simultaneously, pointing at us.

Levy and Juvia are a blushing mess and I laugh awkwardly. "Is it that surprising?"

"YES! OF COURSE! IT REALLY IS!" Everyone shouts.

A drop of sweat rolls down my forehead and I smile crookedly. "I mean, that note was right! Rivals will always become lovers! Hahahahaha!" Gray says. I glare at him.

"Who knows? You could end up with Lyon, or even worse. . .Gajeel," I stick out my tongue.

"What? HELL NO!" Gajeel denies. "I ain't into guys!" Gray kneels on the door and punches his stomach.

"Never!" Gray shouts.

"JUVIA WILL NOT LET IT HAPPEN!" Juvia speaks up, pointing at Gajeel. "LOVE RIVAL!"

Everyone bursts out laughing and I look at the unconscious Natsu. "Geez," I poke his head, "wake up, flame head." Natsu shoots up and fire starts blowing out of his mouth.

"ICE PRINCESS, WHO ARE YOU TO CALL ME FLAME HEAD?"

"I DIDN'T CALL YOU ANYTHING HOT HEAD!"

"WHY, YOU!" Natsu rolls his single sleeve, but I roll my eyes and sit him back down.

"I called you flame head," I mutter and Natsu's jaw slackens.

"Oh, that was you."

"HE'S NOT GONNA COMPLAIN. THIS IS FOR REAL, THEY REALLY ARE TOGETHER!" Cana nods her head.

"Everyone shut up! I'M TRYING TO EAT MY STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!"

Everyone quiets down.

"I want some," I speak up. Erza glares at me and I pout. "But, Errzaaaa, you owe me one!"

"Go eat Natsu instead," she mutters. I furrow my brows.

"Wait, was that supposed to be in a sexual way?" I question, unaware of Natsu's crimson face.

"If that's what you think," Erza replies and I nod, looking at Natsu.

"WHOA!" everyone exclaims. I look at Natsu, only to find him on the floor, steam rising from his head.

Ah, he's red in the face again
. I laugh a little and pick him up. "Natsu, you're such a sensitive person!"


I really am glad to be back home.
