Love and Lucky (A Fairy Tail 'NaLu' FanFic) Fanfiction. This story revolves around a girl named Lucy Heartfilia. She lives in the magical world of Fairy Tail, a guild composing of wizards. During her stay there, she has experienced lots of adventures, as well as mishaps and misfortunes (due to her team m.
Love and Lucky
The next day, Lucy decided she needed to get back to work, and get some money for rent. She still wasn't inclined to start living with Natsu yet.
'Here's our next job!' Gray announced, as he held up the job request. It was something about capturing a crook of some kind, but what really got Lucy's attention was the reward.
'2,000,000 Jewels!' Lucy said.
'We were going to divide it amongst us with 400,000 each,' Erza explained, 'But Natsu said he doesn't really need the money, so you can have half his share.'
'Is that really okay?' Lucy asked, looking at Natsu, who just smiled back at her.
'I've got my own house, so I don't need rent money,' he explained, 'and if I ever get hungry, I can just go look for some fire. You need it more than me.' Lucy smiled, as she took her boyfriend's hand. They'd only been together for a little more than a day now, and yet Natsu was already bending over backwards for her.
'Well, what're we waiting for!' she said, pumping her fist. As they were getting ready though, Lucy overheard a couple of other members talking.
'You heard about what happened on merchant guild?' one guy asked. Lucy's ears perked up at that. She remembered her father telling her he was heading towards a nearby merchant guild.
'Yeah, I heard it was attacked by Naked Mummy,' another guy said, 'And was then occupied by them.'
'If it is then the army won't be able to do anything.' This time, Lucy looked directly at the members talking about it. Dad she thought.
'I can't wait to go and beat this guy up!' Natsu said, 'I wonder what would happen if body slammed him while my chest is glowing?'
'This is a mission, not a time to test new moves,' Erza said.
'That's not going to stop me from beating him straight into next year!' Gray said.
'Aye sir!' Happy piped up. During all this, Lucy remained silent. It doesn't matter! she thought He's brought me nothing but pain, so why should I care what happens to that man?
'Yo, Lucy!' Natsu said, 'What's up? Aren't we going?' However, Lucy wasn't paying attention. She marched over to where the other guys were sitting.
'Where's the merchant guild?' she demanded. After getting the information, she dropped her bag and ran out.
'Lucy!' Natsu called, as he ran after her.
'What about the mission?' Happy asked.
'There's something I need to do!' Lucy said as she hurried away.
(at the train station)
After buying her ticket, Lucy quickly boarded, and took her seat, and waited impatiently for the train to depart. She figured every second was a second her father was in danger. Lucy had considered asking the others for help, but she figured this was something that she had to do on her own, and as such, wouldn't drag them into this. Of course, there was something she forgot.
'Lucy!' She turned, and saw Natsu poking his head through the train window.
'Natsu?' Lucy asked, 'What're you doing here?' Natsu grinned as he climbed in
'You don't I'm going to let you go, do you?' he asked. Lucy first reaction to protest, but then she figured that at this point, Natsu would literally follow her anyone, so it was probably pointless. And of course, he could probably prove to be of some help against the dark mages.
'Okay then,' she said with a smile, 'But don't forget this a train. What about your motion sickness?'
'I can live through motion sickness when I'm with you,' Natsu said, as he sat next to his girlfriend, and wrapped his arm around her. Lucy smiled warmly.
'Don't forget me!' Happy said as he floated in.
'Happy? You too?' Lucy asked.
'Aye!' the cat answered, 'Wherever Natsu goes, I go too!' Lucy was worried that the little guy would be in danger, but she had long since accepted that a relationship with Natsu meant spending more time with Happy. Not something Lucy was complaining about, but it was something she had to get used to.
'You bought a ticket right?' she asked.
'A what now?'
(sometime later)
After a brief explanation to Natsu about the importance of paying for things (which included him getting a conk on the head he thought only possible from Erza), and a cover about what Lucy's objective was (something that made Natsu even more intent on going with her), she bought him and Happy tickets, and they headed out to the town where the guild was. During the tip, Natsu lay slumped on Lucy's lap in his misery, very close to throwing up. Lucy didn't mind actually, but she would be lying if she said that Natsu potentially puking all over her skirt was something she didn't mind either.
Eventually, they arrived at the town, which was called Acalypha, and the headed towards where the merchant guild was. They eventually spotted it, a large building with a sign that said 'Love and Lucky'. Once they arrived, they spotted a large crowd assembled in front of it, crying for the army to take action. Of course, Lucy and Natsu both knew that if the army did try to storm the building, they'd probably get massacred.
'Let's go!' Natsu said, as he started to head the building, only for Lucy to yank him back, and into an alley.
'We can't go in there, shooting magic everywhere!' Lucy said, 'It could get the people inside hurt!'
'Then what to do we do?' Natsu asked, folding his arms, 'Go around back?'
'I may have a suggestion.' The two people and the one cat looked down, and saw Virgo standing under Lucy, the ground up to her shoulders.
'Virgo, when did you get here?' Lucy asked.
'I'm always with you, Princess,' Virgo answered calmly, 'Again, I may have a suggestion as to how get in.'
'What is it?' Happy asked.
'Simple,' Virgo explained, 'I use my Earth Magic to underground, and get into the hall from beneath.'
'That's boring,' Natsu complained, pouting, 'I still say we should force our way in!'
'Hate to break it to you, lover boy,' Lucy said, giving Natsu a look, 'but this is my task, we do it my way.' Natsu frowned more, before sighing.
'Whatever,' he said, 'I guess I'll still be able to sear people this way.'
'That's the spirit!' Lucy said, 'And speaking of spirits….' She looked to Virgo.
'A punishment?' the Celestial Spirit asked. Lucy sweat dropped.
'Uh, no,' Lucy answered, 'Can you dig a hole?'
'It will be done, Princess,' Virgo said, as she dropped into the ground.
(in the guild hall)
Naked Mummy was armed to the teeth, with hostages tied up and gagged before them.
'When are we getting the damn ransom?' one guy asked, 'They better not think we're kidding!'
'There was supposed to be money here!' another one said, 'This is a merchant guild, isn't it?'
'Shut up!' the leader said, 'Just get all the money! We'll get the ransom soon enough! All we have to do is show those army dolts we're not messing around!' He then look at the hostages, and noticed them all crying.
'Shaddup!' he ordered, 'You're crying is annoying!' That was when he noticed one of the hostages was a child, who was still crying.
Why I Love Fairy Tail
'I told ya to shut up!' the leader yelled again, as he took aim with his magic gun, and fired. The bullets blasted at the child, before suddenly the ground exploded, and a cloud of fire blocked the magic bullets.
'The hell did that come from!'
From a hole in the ground, emerged Natsu, as he rubbed his neck.
'I hate being in cramped places,' he muttered to himself, 'We would've gotten the same result if we attacked head on, I still say.'
'Get over it already,' Lucy said as she jumped from the hole as well, before addressing the dark mages, 'Stop this right now!'
'Who the hell are these guys?!' one mage demanded.
'They're from one of the legal guilds!' the leader said. Natsu's fists were consumed in fire.
'I'm all fired up now!' he said smiling, before looking to Lucy,' Now?'
'Now,' Lucy said with a thumbs up. Natsu then leapt at the dark mages.
'Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!' he yelled as he blasted away several of them with a single punch.
'Open, Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!' Lucy said, as she summoned Taurus, who quickly overpowered the dark mages with his axe.
Meanwhile, Natsu was being charged by more dark mages. He turned, as his chest lit up, and he breathed his fire. One dark mage came up behind him, only to get hit in the face by Happy with a fish.
'Open, Gate of the Horse Archer!' Lucy said, after Taurus disappeared, and before the archer quickly knocked away the remaining members, leaving just the leader, who Lucy turned to.
'And now…,' Lucy said as she jumped forward, 'Lucy Kick!' She kicked the guy straight in the face, sending him sprawled on the ground, unconscious.
'Nice job, Lucy!' Natsu said.
'Thanks, Natsu!' Lucy said, smiling, before turning, and calling, 'Dad!' However there was no response as the freed merchants celebrated.
'Thank you so much!' the little boy who was almost shot said, coming up to Natsu and Lucy.
'No problem!' Natsu said with a thumbs up. Lucy wasn't paying attention, as she continued looking for her father, but saw no sign of him. Where is he? she thought.
'Have you found your dad?' Natsu asked her walked over, and put his hand on her shoulder, as they followed the escapees out onto the street.
'No,' Lucy said, she was getting nervous, and with that she cried out, 'DAD!'
'Lucy?' Boyfriend and girlfriend turned, to see Jude Heartfilia walking right up to them.
'Dad?' Lucy asked, somewhat dumbstruck, 'You're just getting here now?'
'Well yes,' Jude answered casually, 'I didn't have any money, so I had to walk, instead of taking the train. That's what I was going to ask you for yesterday, money for a ticket.' So I was worried for nothing? Lucy thought. That was when Jude noticed all the soldiers.
'Was there something going on here?' he asked.
'There was a dark guild attack!' Happy said, as he floated up.
'Oh, a talking cat? Interesting.' The man sounded slightly surprised at best.
'So is that why you were here, you worried about me?' he asked.
'Forget it!' Lucy said as she turned on her heel, and walked away, 'Let's go Natsu!' She grabbed Natsu's hand, and started to drag him away.
'Lucy!' Jude called. For a reason Lucy didn't fully understand, she stopped, and looked back.
'During my long walk, I had a chance for some perspective,' Jude said, 'I came to realize how horrible I've been acting then. I am truly sorry for that. Trust me, I'm willing to change! Losing everything, helps a man to realize what he really needs in life!' Lucy was silent, as she just listened.
'Lucy,' Natsu said softly. Jude smiled as a memory came back to him.
'You know, I met your mother at this place,' he said, 'I was just a simple merchant boy at that time, and your mother was a mage who was thinking of expanding her talents. Things just took off from there.' That got Lucy's attention.
'Did I ever tell you how we decided on your name?' Jude asked solemnly. Lucy was silent for a time, before shaking her head, not looking back.
'Well, it was the day I was about to start my own business,' Jude explained, 'Your mother and I were leaving, when she noticed the 'K' in the sign had fallen off, making it read 'Lucy' instead of 'Lucky'. And at that moment, we decided that if our child was a girl, we would name her Lucy.'
'That's weird,' Happy muttered to Natsu. Natsu just shrugged in response. For the longest time Lucy was silent, before she finally looked over her shoulder.
'That's a tad stupid,' she said, 'You can't just go choosing a name that lightly.' Jude chuckled.
'I suppose so,' he admitted.
'Really?' Natsu asked Lucy, 'I was thinking about naming our first baby Scales if it was a boy, and Scala if it was a girl.' Lucy let out a yelp, as she flushed red.
'Natsu!' she cried, 'its way to early to think of that!'
'Young man, Natsu was it?' Jude said, as he looked at Natsu, 'You're my daughter's boyfriend, yes?' Natsu turned to him, as his face turned serious.
'Yeah? What of it?' Jude's face turned serious as well.
'You've got yourself a true treasure there,' he said, 'See that you treat her well.' Lucy looked at surprise at her father at that statement. Natsu then walked right up to Jude.
'And let me tell you something,' he said, 'Lucy's saved me in many ways. She means the world and more to me! If you do anything to hurt her…' A reptilian growl rumbled in the back of his throat, but Jude wasn't intimidated. Instead, he put his hand on Natsu's shoulder, catching the Dragon Slayer off guard.
'I leave her in your hands now,' Jude said, 'Take care of her.' Natsu blinked, before nodding firmly. With that he walked back to his girlfriend, and the two started heading away. Jude took a breath, as he turned to go to Love and Lucky.
'Dad!' he heard Lucy called, causing him to look back, and saw Lucy waving at him.
'Take care of yourself!' she said. Jude just smiled, as he watched his daughter and the man she loved leave.
'Oh, Layla,' he said, 'What was I doing?'
Note: There's probably more to it than that, but I thought this was a nice, heartwarming point to end the chapter. Next chapter will mark the beginning of the Oracion Seis arc. That said, I could use some suggestion for that as to how to differentiate the arc from canon.
On an unrelated note, there's been a story idea that's been gnawing at my brain for a while now, and it finally got so frustrating that I had to do it. I'm not stopping this story, far from it, I'm just going to publish another story, and update it when the desire arises. Look for it; it will be called 'I See Fire In the Sky'.
Every anime has fans that ship one character with another. In Fairy Tail's case, one of its most famous semi-canon pairings is Natsu and Lucy (NaLu), the two protagonists.
Everybody thought that Natsu and Lucy would definitely end up with each other at the beginning of Fairy Tail. But 451 chapters and 261 episodes later, we still haven’t seen concrete evidence that they have romantic feelings for each other.
It can be seen that Lucy often blushes when others tease them and even when Natsu calls her name. It may be an implication by Hiro Mashima that Lucy has indeed developed romantic feelings for him. She has even thought of having babies with Natsu at some point (these make-believe babies unfortunately look like Happy). But is this enough evidence to prove that Lucy loves Natsu? Or is it just Lucy wary of Natsu being a man?
Fairy Tail Love Story
Natsu, on the other hand, does not seem to differentiate Lucy from Gray, for example. He is unusually comfortable with her, despite her gender. Does he even see Lucy as a woman? Maybe. He rarely shows his manly side. Though there is one time that he accidentally sees Lucy naked and… yep, he gropes them breasts. Aside from this, he is shown to be overprotective of Lucy, but he's like that with everyone he cares for, isn't he? But then again, when it comes to Lucy, he can go the extra mile just to see her smile.
Can Natsu even feel love?
Natsu may be an enlarged version of a child, but he is indeed capable of love. Though at this time, he still may not be able to distinguish romantic love, if he feels any, from love for his friends. Many protagonists suffer the same situation: being focused entirely on something, be it a quest, saving the world, the top spot, or something else, that he/she becomes oblivious of someone’s feelings for them. In this case however, aside from being focused, the thought of having a relationship with a girl may not have even crossed his mind.
There is also this one girl with whom he was very close with before she presumably died. Lisanna, the sister of Mirajane and Elfman, disappeared from Fairy Tail even before Lucy entered the picture. The guild, out of respect, is careful not to talk about her in front of Natsu.
If anything, it's easy to tell that Natsu and Lucy are very close. Even if they aren't lovers, they are great friends. Natsu is always there to support Lucy, even though he often annoys/amuses her with his brash behavior.
Many other characters in Fairy Tail believe that these two are dating, much to their embarrassment. But is this embarrassment due to Natsu and Lucy being a real couple, or is it simply because they are tired of being lumped together?
It is really rare that the main male protagonist and main female protagonist are not the ones who end up together. But with the rate Natsu and Lucy are going now, we may soon (in like 400 more chapters) witness Natsu mature mentally and emotionally and finally man up. But it is possible too that we may be left hanging at the end. As of now, the Natsu x Lucy fans can only hope and read fanfiction.
