Before they knew it, they were already home. Erza began to panic on how fast time had passed. She still didn't think of a way to confess to Natsu. They were now having dinner and Erza who was sitting on the opposite of end of Natsu was slowly poking at her food.

"What's wrong? No appetite?" Natsu asked as he munched down on a chicken thigh.

"Ugh, I'm just not very hungry..." Erza mixed her spaghetti with her fork. What Natsu didn't know was that she was suffering. Suffering for not knowing how to confess to him. She wanted the least misunderstandings as possible because knowing the idiot, he'll probably just say that he likes her back. That's what she didn't want. When Natsu says he likes someone, he likes them not as lovers, but as a friend or a guild mate.

The two had finished eating and Erza went to take a shower while Natsu finishes the chores. The scarlet haired mage lowered her body into the water until it reached her neck. Thinking of ways on how to get her feelings out for the dragon slayer. She thought of just asking him if he liked her. Too bad for our scarlet mage, this is Natsu she's asking. She went as far as thinking of trying to seduce him, but she wasn't in her regular body, and she wasn't actually hard-core enough to try a stunt like that. She thought of just telling him straight that she loved him and that she wanted to be by his side for all of eternity. Erza agreed that just telling him would be enough. If she was going to give a confession, he will get one! Even if he rejects her, she'll just have to murder him when she gets back to normal. But who in the world would reject someone as beautiful as Erza. Any man would accept he right away without a second thought.

She slipped out of the tub and got in her yellow star pajamas. She turned on the hair dryer to blow dry her wet hair. She then turned to face the door. Taking a deep breath. She was going to march out there and get the man she loves. She opened the door to see Natsu happily cleaning the dishes. She marched towards him with confidence levels over the roof.

She was about to say something but a thought in her mind interfered. 'Wait... what if I don't get my regular body back?' She hesitated.

"Oh hey Erza! Done with your bath?" Natsu said as he turned around. The redhead was startled at his sudden movement.

"Uhm...uhm... yeah!" Erza stuttered. The question in her head repeated over and over again. What if she wasn't able to return to her normal state? She had been stuck in this child form for about three weeks, yet there was no sign of her turning 19 again. Maybe she should wait until she's back to normal before confessing.

"Did you have something to ask me?" Natsu said as he finished wiping the last plate.

"What?! No! I was just going to tell you that you can use the bath now!" Erza faked a laugh.

"Alright then. But I after I want to talk to you about something." Natsu said and left to the bathroom.

'He wants to talk with me about something?' Erza said in her mind. She sat on the couch to wait for him. If it was Natsu who wanted to talk to her, it must be important.

About a few minutes later, Natsu came out wearing his red pajamas. He looked nervous and a faint blush was on his face. He went to sit beside Erza, who was patiently waiting for him.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Erza asked nervously. Natsu began to blush.

"Well... I just wanted to talk about some things..." Natsu faked a laugh and rubbed the back of his head.

"Like...?" Erza asked.

"Well... ummm... is it getting hot in here or is it just me?" Natsu said as he wiped the sweat off his face.

'What? Natsu thinks it's hot?' Erza thought.

"Are you feeling okay?" The redhead asked. She went and touched his forehead but quickly flinched back.

"You're burning!" Erza shouted, worried.

"Huh? Oh it's nothing...." Natsu cleared his throat.

Seeing him like this made Erza feel sad. "Look, if you have something to say, just say it." Erza said.

"If you say so." Natsu took both of Erza's hands in an instant. "I love you, Erza!"

Erza's eyes widened. "Huh?"

"I said, I LOVE YOU, ERZA!" Natsu repeated.

'Could I be dreaming?' Erza thought. She didn't expect Natsu to be confessing to her. Well at least now she doesn't have to play the hard part.

"Well what do you love about me?" Erza asked.

"What I love about you? Well there are many things. I love your hair, your strength, your kindness, your personality, I just love everything about you!" Natsu shouted with a massive blush. Erza didn't say anything. Natsu then covered his face with both his hands. "Gosh, you must think I look silly right now."

Natsu revealed his face again when he felt two hands grabbing his own.

"No, I don't think you look silly. I'm actually very happy that you were able to confess your love to me. Something that I couldn't do for you." Erza looked away with a blush.

"Wait... does that mean...?"

"I love you too!" Erza said shyly. Natsu then embraced Erza out of excitement. The redhead returning the favor.

"So will you go out with me...?" Natsu asked with a blush.

"Should I...?" Erza teased.

"YES!" Natsu shouted.

"No."

"WHAT?!"

"I'm just joking. Of course! But not right now." She then leaned her head onto his chest and Natsu wrapped his arms around her petit body.

"Huh? Why not?" Natsu asked, a little disappointed.

"What if... I don't return back to my original body? I'll just be a burden to you." Erza asked, a little bit sad.

"No problem. Even if the magic doesn't wear off, I'll wait for you. I'll wait until you're back to your regular 19 year old self and then I'll start dating you officially." Natsu grinned. This is what makes everyone like Natsu. He's kind, sweet and honest. "Unless if you don't want to date an old man." Natsu giggled. And his sense of humor...

"You won't be that old." Erza giggled. The redhead smiled again as the dragon slayer she loved had just confessed to her.
