When do natsu and lucy get together

Scenes in which Natsu and Lucy save each other often end with them hugging in ways that the camera romantically frames, while filler episodes increase the flirty moments between the two, usually focusing on the two almost kissing or Lucy blushing at Natsu's antics. At the end of the day, Natsu and Lucy are a good pair because of their long history and compatible personalities.

So, why didn't they declare their feelings to one another? And where did the possible lovebirds end up? Before we answer, we first have to address the elephant wizard in the room: Lisanna Strauss. There's a large group of "NaLi" shippers, and if we look back at the first few episodes, we can't exactly blame them.

Natsu and Lisanna go way back as childhood friends, and the innocence in their burgeoning relationship was adorable -- Lisanna even outright proposed to Natsu. However, their time together was tragically cut short with Lisanna's "death"; although she was eventually brought back to start a possible love triangle, things just weren't the same. Lisanna was largely ignored by Mashima, and her scenes mostly revolved around fighting in animal lingerie rather than moments with Natsu.

Natsu overhears a conversation between Aria and Gajeel Redfox saying that they caught the girl they wanted, Lucy. Natsu grabs a random member and makes him tell him where she could be.

Lucy tricks the master who is currently holding her captive and proceeds to get out, only to find out she is being held prisoner in a sky prison. She jumps out, knowing that Natsu is there and he will save her. As she falls, she calls out for Natsu, who hears her call and returns with his own. He runs towards Lucy and, launching himself into the air, catches her in the nick of time. After he caught Lucy, Natsu saw Lucy crying which startles him.

Happy and Natsu ask Lucy the reason why she is crying to which Lucy tearfully answers that everything is her fault. She states how she doesn't want to leave because she loves being a part of Fairy Tail. After that touching answer, Natsu states that she is one of them and that she doesn't have to leave. He then asks if she can stand, to which Lucy remains silent. Natsu decides to carry a tearful Lucy on his back, promising to himself that he will get revenge on Phantom Lord for what they have done.

Later on, Lucy is once again captured by Phantom Lord and subsequently beaten and tortured by Gajeel. Natsu manages to break in and save her from a potentially lethal blow at the last second.

During their fight with Phantom Lord, Natsu fights with Gajeel with all his might to take revenge for hurting Lucy and the Guild.

However, seeing how badly Natsu was getting beaten, Lucy began to cry for him. She calls out Sagittarius to help Natsu, asking him if there is anyway he can create fire. After Sagittarius successfully causes an explosion next to Natsu and Gajeel, which results in Nastu consuming the flames, Natsu begins his counterattack. Lucy was amazed after Natsu became victorious. When Lucy left to confront her father, Natsu, along with everyone else, became very frustrated, thinking that she has decided to leave the Guild.

He, along with Erza, Gray and Happy, goes to her mansion to bring her back. Upon arriving, they discover that she only went to warn her father to never bother Fairy Tail again and to give him her final goodbye. It was later stated by Happy that Natsu cried for Lucy when she left. As Team Natsu travels to their destination, Natsu succumbs, once again, to his motion sickness, and lies motionless.

There, they find that their mission is to help a theater house with their production, which they do, but, consequently, they destroy the theater house in the process.

However, to everyone's surprise, the play becomes quite popular. After defeating some troublemakers in Balsam Village, Natsu and the others decides to stay at an inn for the night. As they are talking, they notice Loke in the distance, and try to speak to him, but Loke, upon noticing Lucy's presence, runs away.

During their stay at the inn, Natsu starts a pillow fight between Gray, Erza, and himself. With Gray apparently winning, Natsu, unable to accept his loss, calls on Lucy to make a judgement. Later on, Loke gives Lucy and Team Natsu tickets to a resort, as he proceeds to carry her bridal-style, and claim to talk about their future. Some time later, the team arrives at their vacation spot, and decompresses.

However, problems arise and Erza gets kidnapped by her old friends. Lucy and her team, along with Juvia, aided by Natsu's heightened sense of smell, follow Erza into the Tower of Heaven.

There, they go on a quest to rescue Erza from the clutches of Jellal Fernandes and his minions. After the abduction of both Erza and Happy, Natsu, incensed by Wally's attempt to kill him, assists the others, with the newly arrived Juvia Lockser, in tracking Erza, which he successfully does by using his keen sense of smell, resulting in the group's arrival at the Tower of Heaven.

Upon their arrival, the team uses Juvia's oxygen bubbles to sneak into the Tower's basement via an underwater tunnel, and Natsu's urge to fight is quelled, as the guards attempt to stop them.

After meeting up with Erza, Natsu separates from the group, seeking to locate Happy. After this, Simon asks Gray to lead everyone off the Tower and Lucy watches from afar in a boat as Natsu defeats Jellal, and completely destroys the tower. As Erza's friends leave to try to learn more about the "outside world" before truly trying to live a new life, Lucy sees them off, together with the rest of the Fairy Tail members, by making some fireworks with her Celestial Spirit Magic.

Before going to her bed, Lucy notices Natsu's scarf and pulls him out of her bed. She tells Natsu and Happy to leave, but Natsu falls back on her bed, the side effects of consuming Etherion affecting him. Lucy is informed by Happy that the two came to her house to tell her about the "Miss Fairy Tail" contest.

A contest that would soon be held during the Harvest Festival, with a , reward of the winner of the contest, an amount enough to cover Lucy's rent. After the spell Evergreen casted which turned Lucy and the other girls of Fairy Tail into stone was lifted, Natsu teasingly chased Lucy and believed that she could defeat Bickslow, though Gajeel had doubts that she could. After her fight with Angel, Lucy, in spite of a deep and badly bleeding wound on her left arm, rushes towards a motion sickness struck Natsu.

However, Angel rises from the water and tries one final attack with Caelum, but the attack misses. Although it failed, it did make the raft Natsu was on detach from the log that it was stuck against.

Lucy, having boarded it to protect her friend, sails down rapids and is shocked to see an approaching waterfall.

Noticing that there isn't enough time to react, Lucy firmly clutches Natsu, refusing to let go as they fall down the roaring waterfall. Some time passes before they regain consciousness. When they come to, they realize that Lucy's celestial spirit, Virgo, passed through the celestial gate on her own and saved the two of them. She also is responsible for bandaging Lucy's wound and giving them both matching sets of clothes, with Lucy stating that it really isn't necessary.

Natsu then turns to Lucy and thanks her for saving him, making her blush, which Virgo teases Lucy about how the two like each other. Note: The events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material. When Natsu and the others, who were hiding after being nearly captured by the guards, discover Lucy being interrogated and almost captured by the guards. Natsu rushes out of their hiding place despite having no magic power in hopes to save Lucy.

In the Royal city of Edolas, Natsu becomes furious after finding out that his guildmates have been turned into a Lacrima.

He attempts to cause a scene but is stopped by a tearful Lucy holding him back. When they were captured, Natsu became enraged after over hearing that Lucy was going to be executed. He threatened to turn everyone into ash if they so much as touched her.

After discovering the two being unconscious due to having their magic drained, Lucy worryingly holds Natsu. During their fight with Hughes and Sugarboy, Lucy did her best to free Natsu, who was trapped on the Hell Rollercoaster.

After Natsu got off, he and Lucy were blown away by Hughes' attack to a place called Monster Academy. Lucy was trapped in a costume actor box. When Natsu found out the secret of the box, he started playing with it, making Lucy change into various weird outfits, much to her annoyance.

Lucy also did the same to Natsu in return. Natsu tried to use Lucy's sexy seduction method to lure Hughes and was very disappointed when it failed. At the Tenrou island, Natsu was continually encouraging Lucy. During their fight with Kain Hikaru, Natsu and Lucy fought together, putting aside their rivalry of the S-class exams and temporarily reforming their team. But, Lucy's unpredictable movements prove too much for him to handle.

Eventually, Natsu manages to restrain her and restrict her movement. He then asks her if she is more powerful being controlled by Kain's curse magic. Once Kain sees the two in the locked hold, he grows angered pointing towards them yelling "H-hey don't get all lovey dovey! Upon seeing this, Happy rolls his tongue and says that they like each other. When Natsu was trapped under a pile of rocks after taking a blow from Kain, Lucy was being brutally attacked by him.

Natsu told her to run so that she could save herself but Lucy refused, stating that it has always been more fun when they are together and she would not run away by herself. During their fight with Hades, when Natsu was almost about to get killed, Lucy begged Hades not to kill him. Natsu grabs Lucy's arm, who is tightly hugging him due to fear. He then states how they have nothing to fear as their friends are this close by.

This encourages everyone and they continue their fight. During the final part of the battle against Hades, Natsu's scarf comes off. Knowing how important the memento of his foster father is to Natsu, Lucy dives after it, almost falling off the airship in doing so, but managing to save it and holds onto it until the battle's end.

Lucy then nicely gives Natsu back his scarf, knowing how much it means to him. When Acnologia was about to attack and destroy the island, Natsu was the one to comfort Lucy and give her hope.

He held her hand, saying that they won't let it end here and that they will all return to Fairy Tail. She watches as Mavis Vermilion reveals that she was the one who saved them, before disappearing again. Lucy, along with the other returning members, is welcomed back by Romeo. However, she is told by a member that her father died over a month ago, which greatly shocks her.

A distraught Lucy, along with Happy and Natsu, is later seen walking on the road home. Here the group encounters two girls complaining about their fathers and wishing they were dead. This angers Natsu and results in him yelling at the girls. Lucy tells him to stop and apologizes for making them worry about her.

When Lucy says that she thinks she hates her father, Natsu replies that simply because she can't cry that doesn't change how she feels. Later, Natsu and Happy arrive with a job to cheer Lucy up. However, they are shocked when the Landlady informs them the letter that came for Lucy also came with seven years worth of rent.

As they run off to do the job now apparently the only ones without food or money they tell Lucy that they'll bring her back some food. As they say this, she thinks to herself that despite the seven years that had passed without them, they will be living in this world regardless, so she tells Happy and Natsu that she is coming along as well.

Natsu and Happy take up a job that requests to have a man named Velveno captured and put in jail. The client of the job, Count Balsamico, hosts a ball every seven years which only wizards may attend. The purpose of the ball is to find an appropriate husband for Balsamico's daughter, Aceto. The wizards going on the mission must practice social dancing because the event is a ball. Lucy and Natsu dance together when they practice for the ball, but Natsu keeps stepping on Lucy's foot.

After their job had a touching ending, Lucy wishes that one day someone would propose to her in a similar manner. Natsu approaches to Lucy from behind and calls her name. Blushing, Lucy turns around but finds that he is actually planning to go back because he has eaten too much, showing his round belly. Lucy begs him to stay and asks him to dance with her.

Natsu and Lucy are seen dancing together while Natsu is still stepping on Lucy's feet, and the Troia that Wendy cast on him to prevent his motion sickness on the moving dancing platforms runs out. As Natsu and Happy barges into Lucy's apartment again and read her novel, Lucy gets mad and embarrassed with them. Lucy asks why are they here, which Natsu replies that they have and job to do and says that work isn't the same without Lucy.

Lucy, then gets touched by this but then gets annoyed and angry when Natsu and Happy ask for food, which makes Lucy kick them out. While Lucy was asking the guild what to do about her invisibility. Natsu comes with an idea to "burn all the potion stuff", which fails. After a lot of attempts to reverse the potion effect. Lucy starts disappearing out of existence with no one remembering her.

After Natsu finishes his meal, he call upon Happy and Lucy, which Natsu now remembers Lucy and brings her back to existence. Lucy then thanks Natsu for bringing her back. When Lucy was getting depressed about getting the message from Key of The Starry Heavens incorrect, Natsu cheered her up by telling her is was not her fault; when Lucy asks if he was actually trying to cheer her up he admitted it but also blushed when he told her to not get used to it.

At this, Gray remarks on how Natsu needs a lesson on flirting. Natsu was very worried for Lucy the entire time.

He also opposed the idea of putting Lucy's life in risk to free her. Lucy used her power to control the Real Nightmare to help Natsu in his fight against Midnight and told him to apologize to Michelle and give Natsu back when he was trapped in Genesis Zero.

When Natsu regained consciousness after Lucy reversed the anti-link which caused the Infinity Castle to fall apart, he notices she isn't present, and begins to worry. After being told to calm down by Erza, he states that it is impossible for him to do so until she is found. During this exchange, Natsu recognizes Lucy's scent and rushes off to catch her as she was falling down. While running to catch his friend, he tripped and fell which caused Lucy to shed tears when she saw what happened to him.

Despite this, he quickly gets back to his feet and catches her just as she was about to hit the ground, resulting in Lucy blushing as she looks at him. While Lucy is losing the fight to Flare, Natsu's excellent hearing allows him to hear that Flare is cheating. He helps Lucy by freeing Asuka, and then smiles when she casts Urano Metria. After Lucy's loss to Flare Corona, she cries due to the frustration that she lost.

Natsu is there to encourage her and even held out his hand, stating that having zero points makes it fun and that they would turn it around from that point on. He also told Lucy to save the tears for when they win. Lucy replies by saying how she is now fired up. Later, when she was in the infirmary due to several injuries, Natsu was one of the first people who noticed she wasn't there, as well as Wendy and Porlyusica.

When Lucy was taking a shower after her loss to Flare, Natsu immediately turned around and said "I will go check up on her," resulting in Elfman saying he can't. Natsu at first doesn't understand why, but then realizes before he is stopped by Erza, preventing him from peeping.

In addition, when Lucy lost both matches against Flare and Minerva, Natsu was supposedly the first one to be at her side, and even rested her head on his lap. Lucy survives attack after attack from the other competitors, most notably, Juvia, and eventually, she and Minerva are the only ones left in the water, invoking the five minute rule. Despite her best efforts, Lucy is brutalized and tortured by Minerva, who uses her as an example. She also refuses to let Lucy get off easily by being disqualified.

After the five minute rule is over, Minerva holds Lucy outside the sphere, battered and broken, in a trophy-like fashion, before dropping her to the ground below.

Luckily, Natsu and Gray ran from the stands and caught Lucy moments before she was about to hit the ground. As Lucy is being treated by Wendy and Chelia, Natsu, filled with anger, almost attacks Minerva but is stopped by the rest of the Sabertooth guild as well as Erza.

After being taken into the infirmary, surrounded by both Fairy Tail teams, Lucy apologizes to everyone. Instead everyone encourages her commenting on good she did and she falls asleep holding her keys. After Makarov informs them that they will have to combine the teams into five members, Natsu stands up enraged saying that he will get revenge for Lucy and that he won't forgive them for laughing at his friend. As the new Fairy Tail takes the field Lucy wishes for everyone to give it their all.

Lucy awakens to Wendy and Carla informing her of what is going on in the tournament and that Natsu would come and see her before his match. Before Natsu and Gajeel's fight against the Sabertooth mages, Sting and Rogue, Natsu went to Lucy to see if she was feeling any better.

Lucy asks if his match is next and he says that it is and that he would win it for sure. Before Natsu left, Lucy told Natsu that she believes in him and always had ever since she joined the guild. As he heads out, he asks Wendy and Carla to take care of her. Right before the battle starts between Natsu and Gajeel vs. Sting and Rogue, Lucy is seen smiling and whispering Natsu's name in her sleep. After Natsu and Gajeel's fight with the twin dragons of Sabertooth, Gajeel brings them to a dragon graveyard below the arena where they encounter Yukino and Arcadios, who states that he would need the help of a Celestial Spirit Mage for their Eclipse project.

Natsu immediately confronts him and demands to know why he needs one. Later, the group learns about the Eclipse project and its purpose, but were interrupted when the Fiore army comes to arrest both Lucy and Yukino. Lucy angrily fights against it and Natsu attempts to save her, but his magic was drained by the Eclipse gate like the rest of the other Fairy Tail mages and he's thrown out of the castle.

When Lucy was captured, Natsu was seriously worried about her and every second he just wanted to break into the castle and rescue her. Despite this, Erza and the others tied him down in order to prevent a scene.

When the rescue teams comes to save Lucy, she expresses her joy by calling out to them, only for Natsu to cover her mouth, telling her to keep her voice down. Just when they thought that the rescue operation had been a success, the group falls and find themselves in the "Abyss Palace", the last freedom allowed to criminals. While trying to find a way out, Lucy questions Natsu as to why he did not participate in the final tournament and Happy replies, telling her that he could not keep himself still and only thought about rescuing her, causing Lucy to blush and say that they are flattering her.

While searching for a way out, Carla finds a narrow passage way that they think they might be able to get through. The passage way being as narrow as it is causes everyone a hard time trying to squeeze through. Lucy ends up getting stuck, to which Natsu claims that she probably gained weight.

Lucy says that she doesn't need his rudeness and asks him to help pull her out. While trying to pull her out, and successfully doing so, Lucy winds up sitting on Natsu's face. Blushing heavily, Lucy claims it was an accident. Moments later, they encounter a group of mysterious people who call themselves the Garou Knights, the most powerful executioners of Fiore. The Garou knights manage to split up Lucy, Yukino and the rescue team and fights each of them separately.

Natsu, before his fight, asks his opponent what the point is in conducting the rescue operation if he were to lose sight of Lucy for even a moment. After they defeat the Garou knights and resume their search on finding an exit, they meet a cloaked figure, who sobs and asks them to lend her their power. The cloaked figure is revealed to be Lucy from the future, and she collapses before them, which afterwards Natsu decides to take her with them.

When she awakens, she tells the group that a herd of 10, dragons were going to attack Fiore and she wonders if anyone would doubt her premonition, to which Natsu answers her that no one would doubt the words coming out of Lucy's mouth, causing her to blush. As future Lucy explains to the group what happened in her timeline and what will happen in in their timeline, Lucy claims that she came without any plan of action and that she doesn't know what else to do.

Natsu steps in telling her to leave it to them. With tears in her eyes and a slight blush, Natsu touches his forehead to hers while thanking her for giving them future. Later, she takes the group through an underground passage where they face off with many guards of the Royal Army, as well as the Garou Knights once again.

Just then, a shadow swallows the enemies while Lucy and the rest of the group stands there in shock. A man then appears before them, saying that he is the Rogue from the future and that he came here to kill a person that would interfere with the opening of the Eclipse gate, which was the key to defeating the 10, dragons.

This person who led the world to destruction was identified as none other than Lucy herself. Rogue lashes out at her as Natsu cries for his friend. Lucy's future counterpart leaps in front of her, acting as a human shield and protecting Lucy from the attack.

Though gravely wounded and surrounded by her grieving friends, she tells them that she is not from this time, as well as this world, and that the Lucy in this world would continue living on with her friends. Future Lucy then asks her present self to show her the guild mark on her right hand. Noticing that future Lucy had lost her right arm, Natsu pursed his lips as he remembered the time when Lucy proudly showed him her Fairy Tail guild mark. Future Lucy makes a statement on how she was glad that she had the chance to see everyone again and how she wanted to go on more adventures.

She then proceeds to tell Natsu to protect the future before passing away. Angered by the death of her future self, Lucy argues with Rogue about her future actions. Just as he was about to lash out another attack, Natsu punches him with tears flowing down his cheek, saying that nobody would steal Lucy's future and that he promises to protect it.

He tells Lucy to leave, though she protests before Loke pulls her away, telling her to leave it to Natsu. As they run down the hallway, Lucy turns to take a look at her friend once more, before disappearing out of sight. As Natsu's fight with the future Rogue continues, he tells him that he stole something precious to him before his eyes and that his way of protecting the future was shitty and they were going to protect it their own way. Sometime later, Lucy is stripped naked and almost eaten by the dragon, Zirconis.

Mirajane and Wendy attack, causing an angry Zirconis to throw Lucy across Crocus. Flying through the air, Lucy crashes straight into Natsu as he battles future Rogue, sending them both toppling off of the dragon and landing them in a church bell. As the two move about trying to get Natsu off of Lucy's naked form, they cause the bell to teeter and fall from where it was perched, crashing them into the ground. You have to remember and keep in mind that Lucy has only just realised that she is in love with him.

Her feelings are all over the place and it is all so new to her. Instead, she closes her eyes and opens her mouth. She wants Natsu to kiss her. Of course we know that there was no kiss, but I think the most important thing here is that she would have gladly accepted the kiss and would not have regretted it, because she is in love with Natsu.

Anyone else found it really odd that they cut away from the slap in the most recent episode? It was such a powerful part of the episode especially for Lucy and for them to cut to natsu instead, which would have been interesting if he reacted to it but he just blinked??? Posts Ask me anything Archive. When did Lucy fall in love with Natsu? Episode Episode 50 is where things start to get more interesting. Plz leave any comments even if it might be mean I won't care.

I hope the fairy tail zero series won't be long because I really want to know if Lucy will still be around when Natsu and Happy get back. I really want Natsu and Lucy be together in the end. And of course kiss haha. Cielphone said: Some of us have to understand that since they always mention they r "family" and close friends it might not happen because lots of people ship nalu with other people and it might ruin it for some people if the main couples get together..

ITzjessXUk said: Yes. So yes they get married and according to the creator of fairy tail Natsu and Lucy have a child named Nashi. The gender is still unknown but yes. They do. Khristille posted over a year ago.

In one episode Lucy thinks that Natsu likes him,but that was all I seen to them being the closest of dating. But yea they're not dates nor will they ever. ErzaScarletXX said: well it matters how the creator wants the anime to be they haven't been together "yet" so it's up to the creator. I know this because the creator said that they admit their love for each other and end up together in the Fairy Tail movie. Their first baby is Nashi.

So if the pairings do happen it would be at the end of Fairy Tail when it is about to cut off like in Inuyasha if any of you have watched that. So I think that if any pairings will happen it would be at the end like I had said before so that is what will probably happen just a theory though. Every series that starts with a boy and a girl basically tells you that something is gonna happen between them In the top left corner which is supposed to be his name he writes "nalu".

I mean, c'mon, even young natsu supports nalu. Or during Tenrou Island arc, how he fought along side Lucy, as she admitted its always better when they're together. Natsu was truly worried about Lucy, in Key of Starry Heavens arc as well as Edolas, threatening to kill everyone who would touch her.

There are so many NaLu moments that I can't even remember! The first episode of Fairy Tail I watched was when Lucy used UranoMetria against Angel in oracion seis arc and then how she hugged Natsu, knowing she would harm herself if she doesn't let go and they end up falling down a waterfall. That was my first episode and damn! I ship Nalu since then!

I don't hate Nali, or Gralu, or Nerza but, have you seen Natsu groping or acting perverted toward any other girl or acting perverted?

And damn, that blonde gave him so many hugs, they're always together! If Natsu doesn't end up with Lucy, I'll surely be sad! And then there is Nashi! Just not Gray and Lucy i hope. NaLu will follow the anime based of the Manga. NaLi will be a spin off or an other universe of the anime.
