I don't own fairytail.. Master Mashima own it..
If I had to choose between breathing and loving you, I would use my last breath to say, I love you.
It was perfect day in the upper east side of Magnolia , and school were about to open from next week. Few were returning from a vacation , Ishagar, Alvarez and others were having there last moment of freedom before high schools started . everybody was having the time of there life, excluding one person, Lucy Heartfilia , a normal girl who was working whole summer to save money for college tuitions and her mother's hospital bills.
Right now she was serving as waitress in one of the most expensive hotel around the city, owned by the Dragneels. she has seen many rich girls around her age ,having a figure of model and movie stars, eating only health food aka almond and salads, she scoffed at the falseness of upper society.
Even she was poor , she had her pride. She don't care about life of richness or luxury. She was happy to be whatever she had right now.
"Luce , two glasses of orange juice for the table near the pool." Cana said as she wiped the counter.
"OK ." Lucy smiled at her friend. She had met Cana around month ago when she applied here,she was a good girl in her final year of medicals school and then off to college.
"Sir, your fresh glass of orange juice" she put the glasses on the table.
"what the hell? We ordered apple juice not orange, and you kept us waiting for too long wench." The guy with blonde hair scoffed .
"Sir , you can't blame us for your mistakes." Lucy frowned, see that's what she hate about rich kids, they think whole world revolves around them and there daddy's money . she wanted to scream at the guy but she needs her money.
Suddenly he threw the juice on the floor," Now go and bring me fresh apple juice and maybe next time approach little bit with feminine manner.''
Lucy felt uncomfortable when she felt him staring at her legs, damn these dresses for serving . now she was fuming."Sir first you must pay for the orange juice you threw."
That guy looked at her like she was insane ,"I don't pay for horrible service. Now girl worry about yourself. You don't know I am friend with the owner of this hotel."
Lucy felt hatred for this bastard always showing off the power of money but she needs this job. Salary was decent to cover her expanses. She tried politely," Sir please try to understand if you don't pay . it will cut from my salary .and its our policy even you are friend with the owners you still need to pay."
The guy was impressed with this girl, It was the first time when some girl stood up to him. He sighed," ok you win. Wait here I'll get money from my room. And yo-"
Before he could say anything a voice interrupted them." Don't bother Romeo"
"But Natsu." Lucy turns and saw a guy with piercing onyx eyes and pink hair glaring at her," You a waitress. Ordering a VIP guests of mine. You also kept us waiting for a long time. What's with your attitude? IT PISSES ME OFF."
Before she knew he was in front of her , his gaze falling over her name tag on her right side of chest." Lucy.huh?"
He touched her face and traced her jaw and pulled strained of hair golden behind her ears, he was so close. She can feel the warmth of his skin as his voice hit her, his breath fanning on her earlobe." You should be careful by the poolside little Luce. it's easy to loose your balance and slip and fall."
And before she knew he pushed her into the pool.
" What, no the glasses, did they crack?" she checked them." Thank God they are ok or else it would have taken her whole savings to pay for these special Italian glasses."
She glared at the rude boy who just pushed her. He was laughing as he left with his evil rich stuck up gang. When she came out of water ,she felt many boys and men were staring at her then she realized her once white shirt now soaked up and clinged to her skin as her hot red bra was visible to whole world.
Natsu laughed at the struggling and embarrassed waitress into the pool. Who the hell she think she was bossing him around him, in his own hotel .he turned towards his friends." Natsu did you chosen the girl to be your flower this year."
Natsu smiled," not yet" as he traced shining blue pendent around his neck. It was the custom of elite St. Jude high school who provide each rich kid a flower, or you can say a scholarship student who helps them to top there classes and get good grades.
Natsu was fuming it was enough , she didn't deserve this . she had enough, she felt tears in her eyes. She took a glass full of soda from the table near her and threw it on that jerk's face. Everyone became silent when she met the stunned pair of dark eyes of Natsu Dragneel.
X_X
Natsu was talking to his friend when suddenly he felt splash of drink on his face. And again same girl glaring at him.
" You know what I hate guys like you. You don't give crap about the people like us. But you know what we are also human just like you, just without daddy's money and rude behavior. I hope my school St. Jude won't have stuck up students like you" And with that she turned to pick her glasses.
Natsu was stunned but amused ," So you go to same high as me. I didn't knew St. Jude has this kind of fire this year." He noticed when she was picking the glasses guys were staring , he also noticed her wet shirt and who can avoid that blazing red bra.
He smiled red was his favourite.
He walked up to her and before she could react , he flunked her over his right shoulder. "You coming with me little Luce."
She was punching and screaming profanities at him. But he kept walking. His friends were watching the whole scene." Looks like it's decided."
" yeah "
Cana turned towards Gray. She felt bad for Lucy.
" I think this girl is his new victim."
" agree."
They felt bad for her, and why not because nobody can escape from the grip of Natsu Dragneel
X_X
Lucy trashed around his tight grip, damn his muscles ."Put me down asshole. What the hell are you doing?"
"I am paying you the money so be quite." And then he closed the elevator as they stepped out of it, and swipe the door key and kicked opened the door. Lucy noticed it was the expensive luxurious suite .
she panicked, "No, its ok you can pay me outside don't need to go this far. I can accept money at the front door." Suddenly she noticed they were in bedroom, she froze, what are you planning?"
"Didn't you want this little Luce, want to do this properly?" as he brushed his lips around her neck.
"Stop! I am not this type of girl."
"So, why are you still in my arms? You want me, I know. Girls like you I know them"
" ST..STOP." she said in low voice.
He sighed." Then hurry and get off." He put her down." You are really heavy. So don't you want a proper shower. Don't worry this is my personal suite, and besides you can't get back to work like this and smelling like chlorine."
" Do you want me to kiss you by showing me such a seductive sight", As he pointed towards her red bra and transparent shirt, before he could say more she pushed him.
"Like hell I want to you psycho pervert."
Then she marched towards the bathroom and shut the door with loud slam.
He sighed and ordered the room service for clean pair of uniform, he heard the voice of door opening . he cranes his neck and saw she was looking at him with the sweet but sarcastic smile.
"Thanks for letting me use this luxurious shower, your highness." And she shut the door again. He was amazed, his charm always work but this girl was something else he never had before.
"This rebellious strange girl, it's been a while and she looks powerful enough to worth my bullying.
X_X
Lucy was washing herself, she had never seen this kind of bathroom, hell it was a size of her apartment. It also has Jacuzzi and gold platted knobs and literarily everything made of glass. She was confused about this guy was hell devil or gentle.
She remembered he carried her so close to him with his shirt over her. Was he trying to hide from others, as her bra was showing it can't be true. Or was it?
She step out off shower, as she wrapped a towel around herself. She felt the jiggle of doorknob and voice of door opening. She turned and saw him at the door.
"You, what are you a pervert. Quit screwing around me."
She grabbed the shower from bathtub and sprayed the water on him. He walked towards her, his arms grabbing around her waist as he stopped the tap. There face inches away as he looked down at her and spoke.
" It's not pervert. My name is Natsu Dragneel."
"Why are you telling me this. and who wants to remember your name."
She wanted to scream more when he jerked her towards him and wrapping his arms around her as he said in low husky voice as his lips trailed down her neck.
,"You see when you threw that drink at me, it was the first time me being this humiliated. if I don't get even with you then I won't be satisfied.'' He slide his arms around her.
" You doing for the glasses, right?''
"You think I am doing this because of what happened to the pool side and with those fucking glasses. HELL NO , I ALWAYS RETURN HUNDRED TIME AS HARSH" and before she knew she felt him slipping a bracelet around her left arm. What is it, this bracelet with blue crystals and golden covering as two blue diamond dangling at the end.
She suddenly felt to much hot. Was it steam from the shower. She can feel her heart beating like crazy. His face was so close to her as his lips grazed round the corner of her lips. She unconsciously touched that bracelet which felt weird ,she don't like wearing accessories not even a ring . his hand covering her as he whispered "It's ok leave it."
Suddenly she came back to her senses and pushed him roughly." WHAT THE HELL YOU PERVERT, GET OUT." and shoved him out of the bathroom.
"Hey stupid girl, just keep in mind as soon as second semester starts. I am gonna pay you ten time harsh."
She saw the dress on the counter maybe he bought it with him , who cares . she wore it, and cautiously opened the door and released a heavy sigh when he saw nobody was there.
Suddenly she realized." I never got my money to pay for those drinks."
Suddenly she felt something in her right side of pocket. She pulled out a hundred dollar bill. She was confused again he got her new uniform and paid the money but that didn't paid for his attitude, that pervert. Before getting out of the room she checked herself in the mirror and frowned when she noticed that bracelet as she was straightening her colour.
X_X
Vacations were over time for school again , as she entered into the life of high school. If you play your card right it will be fairytale or else it will be your worse nightmare. She notice her friend Levy,"
" Did you loose weight?" she beamed ." really Lu chan, I guess four months of diet paid off. What about your summer? How was your vacations?"
Susddenly Lucy felt her good mood was destroyed at the mention of her vacation." I worked at hotel ."
" Was the pay not enough?" Levy noticed her friend's grim expression.
"No the pay was actually more then enough but one of the customer was the rude rich kid even he is student of our school. As the rumors are they are real bastard , rotten to their core." Suddenly Levy noticed a expensive bracelet on Lucy's arm . she was confused she never saw her wearing anything and secondly it looks expensive. Then she noticed blue crystals. That's belong to the elite club of school.
"Lu chan where do you got that bracelet."
At the mention of bracelet Lucy touched her bracelet." That's right even it is beautiful I don't like it, no matter how hard I try. So I have decided after class I am going to find that guy and going to get rid of this bracelet for good."
Suddenly Levy realized oh no her friend was chosen as flower , she cries she hugged Lucy tightly.
" It was fun every class we share Lu chan . I am going to miss you. it was fun being with you, feel free when you need a shoulder to cry."
Lucy was confused ."Wait! Levy chan , aren't we in the same class?" before she could ask more grace tuned and ran away with tears in her eyes, she wanted to follow her friend but saw his teacher Mr. Ichiya in his early thirties in front of her.
" Lucy what are you doing here?"
Now Lucy was getting frustrated ."Not you too Mr. Ichiya . Will somebody tell me what's going on?"
" Aren't you a flower from today?"
She was confused when she saw Levy paused and walked towards her," Lu chan you didn't know about the flower system."
"No " Lucy was confuse as hell what the hell is this flower. " they told about it in entrance ceremony."
" WHAT IS IT?"
"Well the elite club is made of nine families most strongest and richest here, and there are 18 student belong to elite family" Levy explained.
" I didn't knew that." Lucy replied nervously.
" Yeah and each student belong to elite group chose a poor normal scholarship student here to be their servant or maid. It was system prepare by the rich people so these elite bastards can graduate with good grades because of brilliant students doing there every work as slave."
Lucy can imagine all kind of horrible things poor students have to suffer at the hands of those pawn of Satan.
" What does it have to do with me. I hate those fake rich assholes and plastic Barbie bitches and I can barely take care of myself, how I am going to serve someone who is nothing without his daddy's money."
"You can't do anything, aside the member of nine family only a flower is allowed to wear this kind of crystals and diamonds." Mr. Ichiya said avoiding her gaze. He looked at her bracelet." And by the crystals colour which is blue, it's look like Ms Lucy your master is Natsu Dragneel."
She felt her world collapsed as she remembered what that N
Pink hair jerk guy has said in suite,
"Remember my name it's Natsu Dragneel soon as second semester starts I am gonna pay you ten time harsh."
She don't want this ,"Mr. Ichiya please take it off. I don't want to be flower or mingle with elite society. Please take it and help me to get out of this mess.
Mr. Ichiya felt bad but he can't fight the system of elites it was beyond him," I am sorry I can't help you and a accessories put by an elite , can only be taken off by them only. None other can take it off. I am sorry Lucy I can't do anything."
"It can't be true" she didn't believe it.
" it's not that bad. you are an brilliant student. Keep your grade up by the way your education will be free till graduation"
She paused. Free education and I don't have to worry about my books , tuition fees and other expenses and donations.
" IF THAT A CASE I GUESS I CAN GIVE IT A TRY." she said and Mr. Ichiya just laughed nervously," I AM GOING TO BE THE BEST FLOWER EVER. I JUST NEED TO KEEP HIM WITH GOOD GRADES. BYE AND THANKS MR. ICHIYA."
X_X
When she left for the elites building Levy turned to Mr. Ichiya ," She didn't know about the dark side of being flower sir. Only elite can decide , every decision will be their and about the bullying. They bully them until they make them cry and their life gets ruined forever."
Lucy entered the elite class and was stunned to see the facilities over there. She spotted NATSU DRAGNEEL in bold letters and reached to his spot, she was stunned when she saw a luxurious comfy chair which made her like she was sitting on a cloud. And laptop for every student with there on personal refrigerator . she sat and relaxed under the cool air conditioned chair. People started to whisper, 'so that Natsu''s new flower, huh?', '
she looks pretty stupid."
" So you are the new flower?" Lucy opened her eyes and saw two people staring down at her, she blushed and stood
,"Sorry and hello I am Lucy Heartfilia."
" My name is Jellal and this is my master Gray Fullbustor. And this elite pendent is ruby. And yours is sapphire which belongs to Dragneel clan."
'Wow so since you are his flower. I just became today." Lucy asked.
" I am sorry it's not right time to chit-chat.'' He pointed something on table, Lucy turned to look at it
" Isn't that bag belong to Natsu , it means he is skipping classes again and as his flower it's yours responsibilities to keep his attendance ok so you must go and find him."
"That bastard even miss classes." She sneered. Jellal and Gray both were shocked at her swearing." We know you are rag and poor but please don't use slangs ever here."
Gray looked at Jellal "Why didn't you let me talk to her?"
"You just can't. and her master has not approved her yet." Gray looked directly into Jellal's eyes," if it really bothers you I'll never talk to Natsu's flower ever again."
Lucy was running around school's grounds for past 15 minutes." Damn who made these elite ground this much big there are merely 40 elites only. First period already started ,where is he?"
She reached to the basketball grounds, a ball hit her face.
" Damn that hurts." She rubbed her forehead, " what are you doing here?" she spotted Natsu.
" Mr. you need to stop playing and returned to class."
He ignored her babbling and snatched the ball out of her hand.
"Hey , wait . you need to return right now."
Suddenly she was silent as she watched him gracefully playing the ball and putting it for score.
"You were suppose to take me with you , where are you spacing out?" he asked as ball was twirling on his index figure.
"Oh! yeah right." She gave him her sweetest smile. He was stunned,"So you finally decided to become my flower?"
"Yeah it was fate , how can I resist" Lucy beamed at him with dollar sign in her eyes.
" gold-digger." He rolled his eyes.
Lucy let passes his insult as she put a smile on her face.
"Anyways lets get along this year and pass this grade with best marks."
" I don't wanna." He scoffed and bounced his ball.
Lucy took his ball, "Girl, give it back." He frowned.
" I won't." suddenly his eyes were hooded with unknown expression and he was so close to her.
"So you want to play, well then if you really want then withstand my payback , then I'll be obedient to return to those dumb classes with you"
"What do you mean?" eve didn't know what this son of devil was plotting again.
He looked at her for second then smirked at her lost look,"Don't tell me you were so happy about money and free education , that you forgot about my payback, huh?"
Her blood froze , she was paled as white sheet, ' shit how can she forget he was the son of the bitch' how could she forgot. God her brain cells are dying. suddenly she felt that feeling again which she felt few days back.
He slide her tie and opened two buttons of her uniform his other hands were touching the soft skin of her waist.
When did he reached there?
But her mind was becoming foggy, she was under some kind of spell. His face was so close to her, she closed her eyes in sinful bliss,
"I don't care what other elites use here flowers for, as there servant, assistant or tutor but I use them to kill my time, AS MY TIME PASS"
"What??" she asked confused what he was saying.
"It's payback time."
And then he smacked his lips on her, even it lasted for seconds it was passionate, but the spell was broken as Lucy shoved him and slapped him hard enough that his face tilted to the side.
He was shocked.
' What the fuck happened?'
Lucy glared at him." I don't care how much my tuition will cost, I can't do something like this."
She furiously wipes her lips want to remove that tingling sensation from her lips.
"I don't want to be your flower."
Natsu licked his lips strawberries ,her lips were like a forbidden fruit he wanted more but she pushed him," Really so you are okay with being expelled"
"What?" she was about to faint she can't afford to loose education.
"Yes the penalty for quitting is expulsion and no college in world will accept you, so now decide ' payback or expulsion. Its on you." He said with serious face.
She bit her lips and his eyes immediately found there ways the way she was biting them, he never saw a innocent assault of lips like that, she was unknown of it, he groaned and slammed her to the wall beside her, both arms around her caging her between him and wall, he buried his face in her side of neck as he said in low rough voice,"Now decide or if you can't decide I'll continue my payback."
"w-wait"
"Sorry to late,get ready."
"For what"
"Payback number two''
