"Get off of me you oaf," you insult the heavy weight crushing your stomach as you lie flat on the guild's floor. The heavy weight growled, rolling themselves off your body, "It wasn't my fault! Besides," he smirked devilishly, "I thought you liked me being on top of you."
Flustered you jumped up and light your fist alight with lightning, your fist collided with his face and he was sent crashing into the wall, "You disgust me!"
You growled at the person inside the dust cloud, his pink hair striking through and his immature smirk scratched onto his face. Natsu fell out of the hole in the wall and his emotions changed, "For god sake (Y/N) I told you it wasn't my fault. Gray punched me into you!"
"Gray's on the other side of the room," you protest, "You two weren't even quarrelling, just admit that you're clumsy!"
"I am not!"
"You so are!"
Your foreheads clashed, "Apologise," you snarled. Natsu growled eyeing you, "No, you apologise for calling me a klutz."
The bickering arose again and a new game began. It was hard to believe that you two were a couple, yes, Natsu was your boyfriend. But from the amount of times you two clashed heads, it didn't seem very...lovely. Both of you were oblivious to love, unaware of what it really meant. In time, it became just a game to you-everything involved became a game. Like the first to apologise, the first to admit they're wrong, the first to pretty much reach breaking point loses. The game even came present in the bedroom which mostly consisted of the first one to...break.
"Both of you just shut up!" a loud voice echoed through the guild. The two of you turned and saw a dark titan glare down at the two of you menacingly. Frightened, you reached for Natsu and hid behind his broad shoulders. The titan shrank and returned to its normal form.
Gramps declared, "What kind of relationship do you two share? If you're a couple, start acting like one! You two are a team but you never see eye-to-eye. Either get along now or get out of here and sort out your problems somewhere else. I'm sick of you two bickering in this guild."
The two of you grumbled, pointing at each other the two of you exclaimed in sync, "He/She started it!"
"What did I just say?" Gramps hollered.
Gramps was right, all you two did was clash heads. Before you were a couple, you and Natsu were the best of friends in the guild. You were even Dragon Slayers, he a Fire Dragon Slayer and you a Lightning Dragon Slayer. But you weren't like Laxus, you were amongst the First Generation having being raised by Raiton, the Lightning Dragon.
Back to the issue, you had enough. Reconciling your memories with Natsu before you started dating made you question if this was really working out. Were you even happy?
"Fine," you huffed, turning to walk on your heel. Approaching the doors of the guild Natsu and Gramps eye you walking off. You stop once your hand touches the knob, "Natsu, I've had enough."
That's all you say storming out of the guild.
Natsu outstretched his hand, his feet cemented to the floor, "(Y/N)," he stuttered. He stood there confused for a moment, did you just break up with him?
With you, you wandered through the streets of your hometown Magnolia. You arrived by the fountain at the park, seeing all the couples having picnics. All the dates you and Natsu shared rushed through your memories as you walked through Magnolia reminiscing everywhere he took you out on a date to impress you. He took you out on a picnic under the cherry blossom trees, a nice restaurant for dinner, a festival for Christmas and so much more. When you arrived home, your heart felt pain rush through your veins. Your house was home to the best and your favourite dates, you weren't one to go out much so when Natsu came over to cuddle with you in your pyjama's holding (F/F) in his hands, he lit up your world. But, now, those 'cuddle dates' became 'bedroom dates'.
If Natsu was going to keep being the immature boy he is and not save your relationship then you were done. You were done not being happy and done with not knowing if you were in love. You couldn't even remember the last time he said he loved you.
Touching your cheeks you feel water graze over your fingertips, "I-I'm crying?"
You were done being strong, finally accepting defeat you fell to the floor leaning your back against your closed front door and cried. You cried for who knows how long; a few minutes? Hours?
The tears stopped pouring out from your (E/C) eyes but your wails didn't stop. You had no tears left. You felt angry now, with hiccups, you stumbled to your feet. Approaching your kitchen, you open your freezer and find your favourite flavour of ice cream still closed as if for this moment. You grabbed a spoon, sat on your couch and devoured the tub. While you were eating you felt the tears escape again as the ridiculous thought of Natsu always sharing the ice-cream tubs with you crossed your mind.
Meanwhile, Natsu had finally accepted defeat. He forfeited the games. When you walked out of the guild, Lucy witnessed the entire thing and told Natsu how she saw it. As a women herself, she must've been right. You had enough, you were done with everything being a game. Natsu made a vow to himself that he'd stop his immature ways if it meant keeping you. He went out to the markets buying a bouquet of your favourite flowers and the softest blanket he could find knowing how much you liked to sleep and cuddle beside him enclosed with his warmth as the blanket created a wall between you two and the world.
He approached your door, feeling strange without Happy-his wingman-by his side. But Natsu had to, like Lucy claimed 'man-up' and make this right alone. With a deep breath he knocked gently on the door. With his immense hearing, he picked up the sound of you crying, hiccupping and sniffling. It broke his heart because he knew it was all his fault.
He opened the door, letting himself in. He walked through the front door noticing you bawling on the couch stress-eating away your favourite ice-cream he bought for you last Tuesday and not even savouring the taste as it mixed with the saltiness of your tears.
"(Y/N)..." Natsu mumbled making his presence open to you. You stopped crying, with a hiccup, you turned around meeting the onyx eyes you fell in love with. You could see the hurt in his eyes, which caused the tears to well up again in your own (E/C) eyes.
"Hey, hey," Natsu reassured rushing over to you. He put the bouquet of flowers down onto the bench beside the couch and draped the soft blanket over your slim shoulders. He crouched in front of you and cupped your cheek.
"(Y/N) I want to apologise for everything that I've done. I made all these promises to you; that I'd love you, look after you and make you happy when I asked for you to be mine. But, for as long as we've been together, I've done none of that. I'll admit, I don't know a thing about love but, love can mean so many things. I just know that I...I love you (Y/N). And if love meant sacrificing myself for you then I love you so much because I would give my life for you twice over if possible. You're everything I want and more. I'm done with these games, I was too stubborn to admit that I was wrong and I hate myself for that. I never want to see you cry over me ever again, heck, I don't ever want to see you cry at all. I love you (Y/N) and I'm so sorry."
You couldn't help but smile, you jumped off the couch and into Natsu's open arms. He lost his balance and fell to the floor with you on top of him. Sniffling you smiled, "I love you to Natsu and I'm sorry to."
He chuckled and brushed his warm hands through your (H/C) locks, "Don't apologise to me for anything."
Still on the floor, you pinned your hands beside his head, straddling his waist. You leant over and rubbed your noses together, your favourite kind of kiss as his warmth and you sparks mixed together. Giggling you wiped your eyes as his hand cupped your cheek, "Stop giggled and cuddle me you baby," Natsu smiled warmly. You smiled sitting up, Natsu followed. Placing his arms under your armpits hoisting you up. His hands guided yours around his neck, his other hand guiding your legs around his waist locking you in place as he stood up. Nuzzling your head into Natsu's scarf, you took in his desirable scent, smiling with compassion.
You and Natsu had been friends for years, you needed each other-boyfriend, girlfriend or best friends-it didn't matter. You completed each other.
Falling asleep in Natsu's arms, the scent of your favourite flowers dominated the room, the soft blanket covering you and Natsu. His scarf wrapped around your neck as you leant on his bare chest. He smiled lovingly at you pulling out a velvet box from his pocket that'd he'd been carrying around for a week.
"One day (Y/N)," Natsu whispered admiring the small box that can change your future. He kissed the top of your forehead letting sleep overtake him for the night.
