I Will Find You Again

Watched

*time skip to the train*

Natsu has his head hung out of the train window puking his brains out and I can't help but giggle at him. For such a tough and strong dragon slayer and wizard it was amusing to see him be so effected by a train, car or any transportation vehicle. "Aw, come on Lucy, *blargh* it's not funny.." he puts a hand to his mouth, "it sucks.." "Stop being a baby and just lay down.. try to take a nap to pass the time then." He comes back in from the window and lays his head against the seat with his arms crossed. I can hear him groan and struggle to get to sleep but eventually does.. the train curved around the tracks forcing Natsu to lean and land his head in my lap.. I was going to move him when I couldn't help but notice how cute he looked when he slept.. I brushed some hair out of his eyes and he smirked in his sleep.. he sighs, "..lucy.." I blush. He's dreaming about me? He then turns to face me and has his arms wrapped around me. Death grip! Ugh guess I'll be sitting like this the next two hours. I try to rest my head back to get a little sleep myself.

Natsu pov

I peek my eyes open and feel like I'm going to be sick again when I realize I'm in Lucy's lap. I still feel so nauseous but take a moment to admire the sight I had before me. She had her hands around me with her fingers laced.. probably to be sure I didn't roll out of her lap. She looked so relaxed. I'm glad because she really did seem to look exhausted and on edge lately. I don't think it's just lack of sleep that has her so jumpy lately but I didn't want to push her on it. Whatever it was, she wasn't trying to talk about it. I closed my eyes again and pressed my face closer to her.. her scent always relaxes me.. calms me down, but winds me up at the same time. Just something about it I can't really explain.. vanilla and strawberries. I inhale deeply before allowing myself to fall back to sleep.. but a final thought crosses my mind.. Am I falling for Lucy?

*Time skip*

"Natsu? Hey, Natsu.. Natsu?" I feel a light shake on my shoulder and open my eyes and look up, "Sleep okay? We're here. We gotta get off the train." I jump up at those words "FINE BY ME! COME ON!" She grabbed her stuff and I had her by the hand as I ran out the train doors. "Oh sweet solid ground! I'll never ride a train again!" I say through dramatic cries, "You say that every time Natsu and you still end up taking the train for a job." "Nope that was the laaast time! Can we walk back when we're done with the job? Pleease!?" She sighs at me, "Depending on how the job goes.. fine. I guess we can walk back. You're lucky I packed camping gear, otherwise I would have said no." "Yes!" I give her a triumphant smile. "Alright so where to?" "Umm.. the flier says to talk to the mayor at the town hall building at the center of the town. Looks like maybe this way." I let her lead the way..

Lucy pov

My guess about going on a job with Natsu was right.. I didn't have that creepy 'I'm being watched and stalked' feeling since we left Magnolia. Honestly I did feel a lot safer with Natsu around. I know he wouldn't let anything happen to me.. ever since seeing my future self die right in front of him he's been more protective of me and making sure I'm okay. I couldn't help but really love that. I honestly think I'm developing a crush on him.. bad I know, he's my best friend and I know he doesn't feel anything more for me besides being my best friend but how he was so protective over me, and how he cared for me, worried for me, and was always there for me, and how much love he seemed to have for me, it made me feel really good. Special even. I really think I have a slight crush on him. We make it to the town hall building and are greeted by two guards whom ask us to state our business, "We're wizards from Fairy Tail (we show our marks) responding to a job request that was recently sent to our guild." I show them the flier. They nod and allow us to pass.

"Ahh, you must be the wizards responding to my flier! Come in, come in, please, take a seat." A gentleman said as we entered the mayors office. "I gather you're the mayor sir?" I ask. "Yes I am, I'm mayor Adler. I'm so glad someone responded to my request." "I hope you weren't waiting too long?" I ask him. "Oh, no, no not long I'm just thankful someone has come to help us!" "Alright where's this wyvern I'm ready to take it down!" I lightly slap Natsu and give him a 'be patient' look, "Well, my name is Lucy, this is my partner Natsu. Can you give us a little more detail about your current situation?" "Of course." He begins to explain, the town itself has existed where it is for many many years but they recently decided to expand there city's limits and opened up another district north west of the towns center.. shortly after completing the new district the wyvern attacks began. "We're just at a loss as to how to handle this, which was why we sent out job requests to all the guilds hoping someone could come up and help us."

"It sounds like you may have built your new district in the wyverns territory." I say thoughtfully. "How do you mean?" He asks me. "Well wyverns typically don't go out of their way to attack and bother humans unless they feel threatened or that they're on their territory. They can be very territorial. Are you aware of any caves near by in the forest?" "There are a few we're aware of but we've never ventured out to see for sure for ourselves.. a lot of the townspeople were hurt when they tried defending our crops and livestock as well as trying to just chase it off." He says concerned. "Okay, we'll handle the wyvern for you and hopefully that will help your town return to it's normal daily routines." I politely say. "Oh thank you! Thank you!" he cheers. "You bet! Time to roast a wyvern!" Natsu shouts and heads out the door before I even have time to react. I shake my head and giggle at his eagerness, "We'll return once we've dealt with the wyvern." I smile and try to catch up to Natsu.

It didn't take us long to find the wyvern.. it was actually starting to make it's way into the town when we ran into it in the forest. "Alright here we go, OPEN, GATE OF THE SEAGOAT, CAPRICORN!" Capricorn appears in a flash of golden light, "At your service, m'lady. Are you in need of assistance?" "Help Natsu take care of this wyvern please!" "Right." Capricorn joins Natsu and attacks the wyvern.. I had to be right about this area being apart of its territory.. I glance around to see if I could see it's cave.. bingo! It was a few yards away from where we were currently fighting. "Natsu! It's cave is right behind it! Destroy the cave and it'll have to find somewhere else to nest!" Natsu looks at me then looks around the wyvern and sees the cave, "Got it!" Natsu bolts away from the wyvern and heads for it's cave, the wyvern followed closely behind him. It took a swing at Natsu with its claw tipped wings and caught Natsu in the back "AHHH" "NATSU!!" Capricorn flew up towards the wyverns head giving it a swift kick and forcing it on its side, Natsu stands up, "FIRE DRAGON ROOOOOAAAAR!!" The entire cave caved in and closed off its entrance. The wyvern roared in agitation but flew off. "Yea! You did it!" "Told you I'd have this handled!" I giggle. "If that'll be all Miss. Lucy, I will take my leave." "Thanks Capricorn, you were great!" I close the gate and run over to Natsu, "Are you okay? That slash looks really deep." "Eh, I've had worse." His knees begin to buckle underneath him I catch him before he hits the ground and throw his arm over my shoulder and sigh, "Come on, lets get back to town and treat that before it gets worse." As we make our way to town, I suddenly have that we're being watched feeling. I glance around me but can't see anything..
