After these matches in the tournament, Natsu still had two other spots left on his tour before it finally concluded. She had told him originally, that she couldn’t go with him to those places, but now, with everything, and if what Erza said was correct, him blocking memories off, there was no way she could just not go. She watched as he cheered in victory, jumping up and clapping hands with Erza and Gildarts as the announcer announced that Fairy Tail had won the match and was now a finalist for the tournament. His eyes were so cheerful and happy, and she knew that she was going to break it all, again, by asking if he was okay.

He pushed open the door to the waiting room a few minutes later, and ran up to her, “Luce! Did ya see? We won!” He pulled her up off the couch and all but threw her in the air in his glee.

“Yeah, we saw,” Gray rolled his eyes as he put his bottled water back down on the coffee table.

“Gotta say, you’ve gotten a lot better,” Gildarts stated, ruffling Natsu’s hair with his prosthetic arm. Lucy was more impressed that Gildarts could still play with it, and was the strongest player on their team.

Natsu pressed his cheek against Lucy’s forehead, still wrapping her in a tight hug, “I even got the victory shot!” He exclaimed.

“I’m quite proud!” Gildarts replied, and caught a water bottle that Gray tossed to him.

“Congratulations, Natsu.” Lucy replied, patting his back, originally for congratulations but when he didn’t release her, she changed her pats to telling him to let her go now.

“So, Natsu, are you and Lucy gonna join us for the victory dinner?” Erza asked.

Natsu shook his head, “I’d love to, but I’ve got to leave early tomorrow so we can get to the next stop of my tour.”

“Oh? Can’t stop for a bite?” Gray teased.

“Or are you gonna have Lucy for dinner?” Gildarts added.

Natsu laughed, “Not with you guys, Lucy said she wanted to talk to me after the match, so we’re gonna eat back at the hotel.”

“I see,” Erza replied, looking at Lucy, who was still trying to get her boyfriend to let go of her. “Good luck on the rest of your fan meets!”

“Thanks!” Natsu replied, before pulling Lucy away from him just enough so that he could look at her face, “Ready to go?”

She sighed, and backed away, “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”

He grabbed his duffle from off the couch that she had been sitting on, “Come on, then!”

“We’ll see you later, Natsu!” Gildarts called, “Don’t break the hotel bed!”

Natsu laughed as he opened the door to the waiting room, “Why would I do that?” He turned to Lucy and kissed her on the forehead, “Come on, let’s go!”

She smiled, and looked back at Erza who mouthed ‘talk to him,’ she nodded, and closed the door behind her.
