NaLu

"I never want to run off alone! I don't care how bad things are, its always more fun when we're all together!"

- Lucy to Natsu.

NaLu is the het ship between Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia from the Fairy Tail fandom.

Canon
Natsu and Lucy are the primary duo of the series. They share an extraordinarily close bond that has remained strong since they first met. Although no direct romance has been made apparent, romance has been implied between the two and they have blushed over one another from time to time. They often get teased over how close they are by the other members of the guild, with some outright stating that they are a couple or are in love.

The pair are frequently seen together throughout their time at Fairy Tail, often going on missions together with just the two of them, along with Happy, or as a much larger team with Gray, Erza, and later, Wendy and Carla. Whenever manga chapters or episodes are focused on other characters, Natsu and Lucy are always seen together, be it eating, choosing a job or wandering around Magnolia. When it comes to missions, despite being separated, they tend to find themselves reuniting and working together, and as a result, have developed a great sense of team work. Their relationship has been noticed by a number of other guild members, such as Juvia, Cana, Levy, Mirajane and Evergreen. Even Erza, who is normally disinterested about such things, has noted that if you ever want to find Natsu you just have to go to Lucy’s place. Furthermore, Happy has regularly joked that both Natsu and Lucy love each other and one of Lucy’s Celestial Spirits, Virgo, has teased her over the same thing. Edolas Lucy has also suggested that she and Natsu should start a relationship, which caused Lucy to blush.

Lucy feels a strong connection to Natsu and believes him to be responsible for fulfilling her dream of joining the Fairy Tail guild. She met him whilst in Hargeon after Natsu unintentionally stopped the effect of Bora’s Charm Magic on her. Feeling grateful, she decided to treat Natsu and Happy to some dinner. Whilst at the diner, she tells Natsu about her dream to one day join Fairy Tail, having great admiration for the guild and its numerous members, including the notorious Salamander (completely unaware that Natsu is the infamous Salamander), after paying the bill she says her goodbye to him. She is then immediately courted by Bora who insists he is a member of Fairy Tail, is the one known as Salamander, and convinces her to join him on his yacht after he promises to help her join Fairy Tail. On the yacht, Bora reveals his true colours to her and that he is, in fact, a slave trader. Natsu then arrives and ends up saving Lucy but destroys the coastal town in the process. Happy informs Lucy that Natsu is actually the real Salamander and that he and Natsu are members of Fairy Tail. Following his victory, he grabs Lucy by her hand to escape the town before telling her to come with him so she can join Fairy Tail, prompting her to joyfully accept.

From then on, Lucy and Natsu have been inseparable. It took a while for Lucy to adjust to Natsu’s bombastic and outgoing personality, but she now sees it as one of his most endearing traits. Over time, she grows close to Natsu and develops a deep trust in him. She told him, before he went off to fight Sting and Rogue, that she will always have faith in him, and whilst sleeping she whispers Natsu’s name in hopes of his victory over the pair. She often reassures Happy over Natsu and tells him that he will return to them whenever he has gone off to fight someone or is recovering. Although she gets annoyed whenever Natsu breaks into her room, she grows accustomed to it and soon finds it lonely when he isn’t around. On occasion, she has allowed Natsu to sleep in her bed or in her room whenever he has fallen asleep. The night before the impending attack of the Alvarez Empire, she chose to spend her time with Natsu in her bedroom. When Lucy met a young boy, who asked her out on a date, she chose not to go and sent Cana in her stead so she could go on a mission with Natsu. Prior to this, Cana had used her fortune telling abilities to predict that Lucy would have a fateful encounter, and although initially believing that it was the boy she met, she now believes that her fateful encounter was meeting Natsu after hearing him say that it is her one year anniversary since joining Fairy Tail, causing her to almost cry.

She has saved Natsu’s life on numerous occasions, such as when she held onto him tightly as they fell off a waterfall after being swept away by rapid currents. After Natsu seemingly defeats Hades, she catches him before he can fall before smiling at him for his victory. When Natsu was put on the brink of death, following his transformation into E.N.D, she cuddled up to him, naked, as a means to warm up his freezing body in hopes that he will wake up from his coma. Such is her dedication to Natsu, she rewrote the Book of E.N.D, incurring great pain onto herself, in order to separate Natsu’s life force from Zeref. When she believed Natsu had died after he mysteriously disappeared, following his victory over Zeref, she cries out for Natsu and becomes inconsolable before Erza arrived to tell her that he is still alive. She then played a key role in helping Natsu defeat Acnologia, breaking him free from the time rift that he, and the other Dragon Slayers, were trapped inside of. Natsu, and the rest of the Dragon Slayers, then fell from the sky, with Natsu landing on top of Lucy, reuniting with her.

Lucy does her best to defend Natsu and take care of him whenever he has been hurt or has fallen sick. When Natsu collapsed after becoming half a dragon to defeat Animus, Lucy catches him and embraces him as the sun rises, and later rests his head on her lap. Earlier on, when he does not immediately wake up following his first fight with Animus, Lucy begins to break down in tears and leans over Natsu, begging him to wake up for her. Whilst Happy carried Natsu back from his first encounter with Zeref he had fallen unconscious, causing Lucy to become agitated and later distressed when she could not hear a heart beat. In tears, she begged Brandish to save his life by shrinking the ‘tumour’ inside him that was causing the problem. Subsequently, she stayed by his bedside whilst he recovered and even fell asleep next to him. She immediately goes out looking for Natsu after being told he has turned into E.N.D to try and bring him back to his senses. Due to his motion sickness, Lucy has rest Natsu’s head on her lap when they travelled on lengthy train journeys whilst in Guiltina. On one occasion, even though annoyed by his actions when he burnt her clothes, she still rests his head on her lap when he gets motion sickness after initially teasing him. After discovering that Natsu is E.N.D, she defends him to Dimaria, telling her that Natsu does not have a dark side to him. Later on, after retrieving the Book of E.N.D, she cries in front of Gray over the idea that Natsu is a demon despite him being just a normal boy.

She sees Natsu as a comforting presence and will always count on him to save her. When she was captured by Phantom Lord, she jumped out of a tower after believing she heard Natsu’s voice nearby, having complete faith that he will catch her, which he successfully does. Whilst being assaulted by Gajeel, she remained defiant towards him as she knew Natsu would come and save her and was overjoyed when he finally arrived. Whilst being assaulted by Kain, she refused to run away, despite Natsu begging her to do so, because she wants to stay with him. When Hades survived Natsu’s onslaught, and unleashed his magical power, she clings onto Natsu in fear before he inspires her, and the others, to face him head on. When Acnologia arrived on Tenrou Island, Lucy became distressed at the group’s impending doom only to regain her composure when Natsu grabs her hand and reassures her. Following her defeat at the Grand Magic Games, and facing the abuse of the crowd, she was able to find her resolve after Natsu comforts her before then quoting Natsu’s catchphrase, "I'm all fired up now." whilst still in tears and holding his hand. Lucy was particularly thankful to Natsu when Future Rogue was defeated and the disaster that Future Lucy had warned them about had been prevented. Later in the night she found Natsu looking up at the night sky before running up and cuddling him from behind, thanking him for everything he did for her future self, the two then shared a moment under the moon light. When Dimaria was about to torture her, she calls out for Natsu before falling unconscious, waking up later to find a deeply shaken, and injured, Dimaria. Lucy's attachment to Natsu was greatly highlighted when he decided to leave Fairy Tail to train for a year. Upon discovering this, Lucy became completely distraught and ran all over Magnolia, in tears, to find him. She cursed him for not being aware of how much this decision devastated her and would occasionally believe she had seen him in a crowd only to be disappointed she hadn’t. Once she was reunited with him she could not help but smile at him, but still held a grudge and eventually confronted him for leaving her, asking him if he had any idea how that made her feel whilst blushing. Aquarius managed to successfully return Lucy back to normal, after she was turned into a Nure-onna, by reminding her of Natsu and what he means to her.

Natsu is very protective of Lucy and is furious whenever someone tries to harm her. When he heard she had been kidnapped by Phantom Lord, he took one of their guild members and repeatedly burned him until he revealed where Lucy might be, eventually arriving to her location just in time to catch her, after she jumps from a tower, before carrying her back to the guild. After being imprisoned on Edolas, he threatened a guard that he would burn them all to ash if they laid a hand on Lucy. Whilst watching Lucy being stomped on by Kain, Natsu becomes distressed and begs Lucy to run away but is moved when she refuses, stating that she would rather stay with him. After watching Minerva brutalise Lucy during the Grand Magic Games, he and Gray dive in to catch her before preparing to attack the Sabertooth Guild member but was stopped by both Sting and Rogue, as well as Erza. When he witnesses Future Lucy get killed, he becomes distraught and violently attacked Future Rogue, in tears, for taking her life, telling him that he took something precious away from him and that he will protect present Lucy’s future from him. Natsu is able to wake up from his coma and save Lucy just before Jacob attacks her, allowing the knife he threw at her to pierce his hand. When August becomes hostile, and unleashes a magical attack, Natsu grabs and protects Lucy from him. After being captured by Dimaria, who prepares to torture Lucy, Natsu awakens his E.N.D form to attack her for trying to hurt her, leaving Dimaria traumatised.

He values Lucy as a close friend and guild member. After defeating Phantom Lord, Natsu became worried that Lucy was contemplating leaving Fairy Tail and rushed to her family home, along with Gray and Erza, to get her back and was reassured that his fears were not true. When Lucy proved to be too sick to attend a festival, Natsu, who recalled Lucy being excited about seeing the famous Rainbow Sakuras, decided to uproot the tree and send it down the river outside Lucy’s house so she could see it, causing her to smile and thank him the next day. Due to his attachment to her, he has projected his feelings for Lucy onto Future Lucy, which led to him trusting her implicitly, despite her outlandish claims and having only known her for a very short time. He also comforted Future Lucy when she began to cry at the tragedy she experienced in her own timeline. When he finally reunited with Lucy, following the time skip, he was amazed to find she had done her best to keep track of various Fairy Tail guild members in the hopes of restoring the guild, and decided to take the initiative with her to help find all the guild members. Whilst visiting the Kingdom of Stella, Natsu notices that she is feeling down about the kingdom possibly disappearing and, knowing she wants to see Stella's Stars, he shows her the famous starry sky in the middle of the night whilst comforting her. Natsu has also shown signs of jealousy, as whilst exploring a town in Guiltina he attacked numerous men who attempted to flirt with Lucy, inadvertently burning her clothes in the process.

Natsu, although unaware, has developed an emotional reliance on Lucy. Whenever he has become infuriated by surrounding events, or become lost in his magical power, Lucy is the one that can calm him. Whilst on Edolas, Natsu grew furious when their friends, who had been transformed into magic crystals, were being chipped away at a public gathering and only calmed down after Lucy embraced him. After being impaled and falling unconscious, Natsu begins to think of his guild mates and, at the very end, Lucy. Notably, he remembers everyone within the guild hall, but when he remembers Lucy he is exploring Magnolia with her where she appears to be holding his hand before turning around to smile at him. After he becomes half a dragon to defeat Animus, he becomes worried about his power and has to be reassured by Lucy that she still sees him as Natsu, despite his dark side. When he believed Lucy had died, he fully awakened his E.N.D form in a fit of rage and ended up fighting Gray, who also believed Juvia had died, and shouted at him that nobody can stop him now as he remembers finding Lucy’s unresponsive body. Soon after coming out of his E.N.D form, he fell to the ground before Lucy wrapped her arms around him to comfort him. When he stood next to Lucy’s ancestor, who had briefly raised him and the other Dragon Slayers when they were children, he notices that Lucy has a very similar scent to her and comments that it explains why he feels so comfortable around Lucy. After defeating the Water Dragon God, Natsu became lost in Igneel’s Flame and was prepared to destroy the dragon, and everything else with him, but was able to come to his senses after Lucy hugged him from behind and told him that she is here for him.

At one point, Lucy contemplates Natsu as a romantic partner when Mirajane teases her over the possibility. Although she tries to brush off the suggestion, the rumour that Natsu apparently wants to confess to a girl causes her to become flustered and nervous around him. She blushes in his presence and occasionally sees him as overly good looking. Although she tries to ignore her thoughts, she ends up fantasising being in a relationship with him and having children that all look like Happy. After Natsu asks her to meet him under a tree at a certain time, she becomes even more nervous and frantic. She ultimately intends to turn Natsu down when he confesses to her, however, when getting ready she tries to claim she can just wear her usual outfit but starts dressing herself up hoping that Natsu will like her appearance. In the end, she gives in and turns up under the tree all dressed up for Natsu. When it turns out he was not going to confess to her and instead just wanted her help to dig up a reported treasure chest under the tree, she became annoyed and slapped him before leaving. Whilst exploring Guiltina, Natsu, Lucy and the rest discovered Fairy Nail, a celebrity guild that were filled with members that are their own counterparts. Lucy was left blushing when she discovered that her counterpart, Lusha, was in a relationship with Natsu's counterpart, Nekka, and walked in on them having sex. When she returns to Edolas, and discovers Edolas Lucy has had a child with Edolas Natsu, and are now married, she is left blushing profusely.

One day, Natsu is tasked with looking after the young Asuka, with Lucy choosing to help him. Throughout the day, they are portrayed as being parents, with Lucy admiring Natsu for his fatherhood sensibilities and how caring he is with Asuka. At one point, Asuka reveals that she believes Natsu and Lucy are a couple, like her mother and father, and demand that they kiss. Although Natsu is fine with it, Lucy becomes flustered and nervous, and although she braces herself for him to kiss her, she ends up grabbing Happy for Natsu to kiss instead. Following Fairy Tail’s victory over the Alvarez Empire and Acnologia, she meets Natsu in her room and tearfully thanks him for everything he has done for her whilst hugging him. When Natsu says her name and grabs her arms, she starts to blush and braces herself for some kind of confession from him, only to be upset when he chooses not to say anything but was comforted when he tells her that they will always be together. When drunk, Lucy is notably flirtatious towards Natsu and tries to gain his attention by feeding him egg roll, clinging on to him and making him scratch her chin whilst she purrs like a cat. She also begs him to carry her to the toilet and finds comfort in how warm Natsu's back is. Notably, she showed great fondness at the thought of having two Natsus when she is seeing double of him.

A running gag between Natsu and Lucy is how often Natsu has seen her naked. Throughout their time together, Lucy has found herself naked in front of Natsu numerous times, and even in lewd positions with him, either with his face in her chest, him groping her or being trapped together whilst she is naked. For the most part, Lucy dislikes this, often becoming flustered and hitting him. However, she has seemingly adjusted to these moments as on one occasion she tolerated Natsu groping her chest for an extensive amount of time when he landed on top of her and did not strike him like she normally would. Furthermore, whilst he was suffering from motion sickness when she, Gray, Erza and Natsu were stuck on a rowboat, she tolerated Natsu's face being pushed into her chest. When Jacob revealed that he was uncomfortable that Lucy’s body was exposed and tried to look away, Lucy took advantage of this and proved to be comfortable enough to allow Natsu to talk lustfully about her body as a means to distract him. After she arrived home drunk from a party in her honour she felt comfortable enough to be naked in bed with Natsu and cuddle him. For Natsu, he is mostly nonchalant about it, as he stated to Jacob that he has seen Lucy naked so many times that turning her clothes invisible does not make him uncomfortable. He also chose to cover Lucy’s chest by grabbing them, not out of lustful desires, but to genuinely try and help keep her modesty. Nonetheless, he has been seen blushing whenever he catches her naked and, at one point, wished to check on Lucy after he realised she is in the shower, but was stopped by Erza. When the two fought each other, after Lucy had been changed into a Nure-onna, she clutched Natsu into her bear chest and Natsu notably stated how good it felt. All this occurred whilst Selene, and numerous other women spectating the battle, commented how much Natsu seems to enjoy Lucy's breasts. Natsu also wished to see Lucy when she was naked, whilst hiding behind a rock, when they returned to Edolas. Lucy has also seen Natsu naked, although very rarely, and blushed profusely when he has been fully exposed to her.

Fanon
NaLu is one of the most, if not the most, popular ship in the entire Fairy Tail fandom and regularly top popularity polls. Their main shipping rivals are NaLi and LuLo. Fans of NaLu tend to also ship LuNa from One Piece, due to the similarities between Natsu x Lucy and Luffy x Nami, as well as the overall similarity between Fairy Tail and One Piece. NaLu shippers are, generally, hostile to alternative ships and will often respond negatively on the exceptionally rare occasion that Fairy Tail author, Hiro Mashima, posts fan art of either Natsu or Lucy with a rival ship character on his twitter.

Some of Mashima's most popular tweets are artwork he has made depicting Natsu and Lucy, especially ones that have a romantic, or even sexual, nature to them. Its perhaps worth noting that Mashima has only created romantic/sexual fan art for Natsu and Lucy, and not, say, Natsu and Lisanna or Lucy and Loke.

Among NaLu shippers, they celebrate NaLu Day on July 26th with Mashima celebrating NaLu Day on his twitter account. Mashima also celebrates "Natsu Day", on July 2nd, by posting a fanart of him, usually with Lucy.

NaLu is of the original Natsu x Lucy, while NafLu is the name of the ship between Natsu and Future Lucy, just as Edo NaLu focuses on Edolas Natsu x Edolas Lucy.

In a few AUs, the two are commonly casted and compared with Flynn and Rapunzel from Disney's Tangled. Along with there being fans who have drawn the two with their OC daughter that was first drawn by the author of Fairy Tail.
