Yes, we'll find out in Chapter 515 that the Erza has amnesia much like Natsu and that the two were childhood friends that promised to marry each other when they grew up because they bonded over a hatched dragon egg that Belserion was the true father of. Natsu names the dragon Happy... and hundreds of years later, he subconsciously names a blue cat the same.NatsuxErza is very cool.
Meredy may be the cause of the breaking of the jerza and the beginning of the JellalxMeredy, in the case of the nalu: they are more than friends, but less than lovers and I do not think Mashima changed their relationship.
Remember that chapter 515 comes out on December 28, the day of the innocent, maybe it will be a troll chapter.

I agree.
<3 the feels!
I double checked. The only childhood moments between Natsu and Lisanna in the manga was indeed in the Happy's egg omake. I know there were more moments in the anime, and those were a lot more shippable but if you've never watched the anime... I guess there's no point in talking about that.One of us might be, and it's probably me missing something as you're an FT otaku while I'm in it only for the humor.
Well, she's biased towards him due to their history, so it's not that shocking, really. Wouldn't you be biased towards a someone who played a big part in your happiness and finding something you love? Towards a person who beats the odds no matter what and helps or protects everyone?
Haven't read the spoilers nor do I have any inclination to do so. I don't want to be accused of trolling, so all I'll say is that my opinion of FT isn't that positive to warrant not being surprised. but if LUcy is being bold, then
The fact that I haven't watched the anime would make it easier for me to present canon facts, but alas I do not remember most of the manga nor do I care to. :<I double checked.

I'm specifically talking about when she hugged him as being an example of her being affectionate. Another time would be after the fight with future Rogue. And, well yeah... If you're affectionate towards someone, you tend to be biased towards them. Natsu being the one who brought her to Fairy Tail and always being there to protect everyone probably didn't hurt Lucy's opinion of him either.
Lucy didn't hug Natsu for getting pizza. She hugged him because she was worried about him (after Natsu vs Gray), and once again just for comfort (after Rogue). I have no doubts that Lucy cares for other members of fairy tail, but as far as the boys go - she's the closest with Natsu.
Again though, hugging doesn't signify romance intimacy, it can also signify friendship and support. She cares the most about Natsu because of the time they spent with each other and what he signifies to her, which isn't necessarily romance.
Why does it have to be one or the other? I don't think that Natsu and Lucy are at this point in a full blown romance at this point, but friends who are very intimate and can very well develop into a romance. I enjoy watching the process.
There is no romance at all though. But yes, I do agree it can develop into a romance, hence why it'd be dumb as hell if Mashima somehow fucked this up. And are they really that intimate? We know Lucy hugs Natsu a lot, but Natsu squeezes Lucy's tits and cheers her up (which he does with others as well). Doesn't really say much here. IF you want to argue friendship though, that much anyone should agree on regardless of their feelings. Though really, it seems Lucy relies on Natsu whereas Gray, Natsu, and Erza trust each other to get the job done, and rely on the other only if they can't fight anymore.
I would argue that Lucy has feelings for Natsu at this point, but if you don't see it that's fine. At the way the things are going, it's only a matter of time before Hiro is forced to stop milking the anticipation. Still...Given how Lucy is currently cuddling naked with Natsu, I'd say they're pretty intimate. (^.^)
Can't get Juvia but might get Meldy??? How's that for luck

No point in arguing on something we agree with.
THANK YOU, YOU'RE BAEThere's several times when you can tell Lucy likes Natsu, in a romantic sense. This is one example...
Ch 425 p8
Ch 425 p9
Ch 425 p10
The proximity is an issue for Lucy, because she has feelings for him. This is some standard crush portrayal imo, but not shoujo level of course.
Plus I think Hiro lined all those ships up in ch 453 before the war. NaLu were together (and she was blushing again for some reason due to Natsu), there was a solid Gruvia moment, Erza with Wendy (but Jellal is mentioned), and there was that implication of GaLe due to those matching bedcovers.
I don't think anyone is denying that these major ships will happen... NaLu needs more than just fanservice moments right now though. The ST one from 425 is about as close to romantic as I can remember in recent times. The other major ships are just better developed at this point in the manga.
Crack ships are more my thing though, I just know it's all going down off-panel.

Nice coloring. Then there's this:Just like Gajeel confessed to Levy, or like Gray corrected himself saying Juvia isn't a nakama... Nalu needs that. It has to be blatant.
At this point, though, nobody can deny Nalu. It's always been clear to me tbh and Mashima is saving it for later. Just a matter of time.
Plus...
(lame way to promote myself
This cover confirmed that Nalu and Gruvia are what we can call the "two main ships" because of Natsu and Gray's friendship which has been a hot topic this arc, and since chapter 1. Canon is obvious.
