(Lucy's P.O.V)

"Lu-chan, are you ok?" Levy asks, while we stretch. A week has passed and training has been hard. Tomorrow, we start our first game. I've been waiting for this day since I first arrived.

"Yeah...I'm fine..." I reply, trying not to make eye contact with Natsu. Every time he looks or smiles at me, I end up blushing. I'm always afraid of giving us away.

"Alright, if there's anything you'd like to talk about. I'm here." Levy smiles while we do sit ups.

"Thanks, Lev-chan." I wish I could tell her, but I can't...at least not yet.

We continue the rest of the training in silence, while I contemplate about everything that's happened.

You can probably guess, it's been a week since Natsu and I started our secret affair. It hasn't been easy, no doubt about that. We've had to meet secretly, and hide from everyone. But I don't regret it one bit. Being with him has been amazing and I've never been happier.

Every stolen kiss, every touch and moment with him, is perfect.

"Alright, guys!" I hear Natsu shout, which takes me out of my thoughts. "We're done for today! Tomorrow is our first game, so be prepared!"

Everyone nods and stand up, picking up all they're things. I can hear them talk in excitement about the game. I clench my teeth when I see Lisanna drape herself on Natsu, while she flirts with him. He just smiles and brushes her off.

"Lucy, you ready?" Levy asks, once we're all set to go.

"Yeah..." I say, trying not to glance behind me. I hope Natsu and I can find some time to be alone.

As Levy and I begin to walk, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I stop but Levy doesn't. "Meet me later tonight at my cabin." I hear Natsu whisper. Luckily, Levy is far enough away, so she doesn't hear him.

"Ok!" I whisper back. Squeezing my shoulder gently, Natsu smiles. I smile back and then run to catch up with Levy.

"What took you so long?" Levy asks.

"Sorry, I just had to ask Coach Natsu about something." I shrug.

"Oh ok!" Levy says, totally oblivious.

"Hey girls!" Mira smiles at us, once Levy and I arrive back to our cabin.

"Hi!" Levy and I say at the same time. Erza and Juvia are here too.

"We're going to lunch and then we're going to swim at the lake afterwords. Do you want to come?" Erza asks.

"Sure, sounds fun." I say. I have some time until I'm meeting Natsu. Besides, a swim in the lake will be relaxing.

"Alright! Let's get going!" Mira claps her hands in excitement.

After lunch, we all head to the lake after we dress into swimsuits. The sun shines beautifully, making the water sparkle like glitter.

"Ah...this is the life..." Erza sighs, while we all bask on the sand, tanning.

"So, Lucy." Mira says and turns to look at me. "Care to explain to us, why you've been distant this whole week?" All the girls are looking at me.

I bite my lip. "Um...well, I've just had a lot on my mind that's all. No need to worry." I give them all a smile. Please don't find out, please don't find out.

"Ok..." Mira answers, but she seems unconvinced.

"So!" Juvia perks up. "So let's talk about cute guys! Juvia thinks Coach Gray is cute!"

"Oooh, I like this topic." Mira smirks, sitting up. All the girls chat and talk about who they think is cute. Levy talks about this guy, Gajeel, who is in our team with Natsu. He's been bugging her all week, playing with her. She explains that he's the bad boy type.

The other girls admit that they thought some of the coaches are cute, but that's all.

"So, Lucy, how about you?" Erza looks at me.

I groan inwardly. This is the hundredth time we've talked about this topic.

"Lu-chan! You coming to dinner?" Levy asks later that day.

"I'm actually not that hungry." I lie. "I'm going to stay here and rest."

"Alrighty, see you later then!" Levy waves as she leaves.

I wait a few more minutes until I know that Levy is far away enough. I change into comfortable clothes, brush my hair and braid it. I grab my sweater and head out of the cabin and walk through the woods.

Once I get to Natsu's cabin, I look around making sure no one is there. When I see that the coast is clear, I walk closer and knock twice.

I hear footsteps on the other side and the door opens quickly. A hand comes out and grabs me, pulling me inside. This causes me to yelp in surprise, as the door slams shut and I feel Natsu kiss me.

"Someone's eager." I giggle and accept the kiss. Natsu lifts me up and we end up on his bed. I end up sitting on his lap.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Natsu chuckles and continues the kiss. But this time he trials his lips down my neck. "I just love it when your in my arms." I giggle and let him kiss me a little more.

"Ok, ok, enough now." I laugh and pull away.

"What, are my kisses are too much?" He teases, giving me his known smirk.

"Ha hah." I push his chest lightly. Just then my stomach rumbles.

"You hungry?" He lifts me off his lap. "Let's go into the kitchen, I'll make us dinner." Giving me a quick kiss, Natsu gets up.

"Anything you prefer?" He asks once we're there.

"Nope, whatever you make I'll have." I smile, and sit down at the table.

"As you wish, Luce." Natsu grins and opens the cupboard.
