A/N: Hey guys! I'll be posting a series of one-shots throughout these next few days. I know i should be finishing my other story, but for some reason I can't seem to finish the next chapter (major writer's block), so I'm really sorry for the readers of 'I'll go my own way now'. As for these one-shots I'll be posting, I wrote them with a friend, so if you could please respect the content, that would be awesome. I value your opinion, but please keep the hate to yourself. Thanks XD
Please Review!
Lucy was an awkward girl that had never had many friends in school, neither had she ever been complimented by a classmate. So when Natsu complimented her for the first time, she was shocked. Never been complimented before, she didn't know how to react to it. Why would he say she was pretty? Strange thoughts ran through Lucy's head and the only conclusion she came upon was that someone had put him up to it, after all, Natsu was the most popular guy in school, why would he notice her?
"Who paid you?! How much?!" Said an enraged Lucy. "Is this some kind of cruel, sick joke?!"
"Umm…What?" asked Natsu.
"Don't even try saying it's not a joke! I know it is!"
She showered him with questions that seemed really idiotic to him.
"Where are the cameras!?"
"Is this gonna be on tv?!"
After questioning him in every way possible, Lucy ran away screaming, "HELP! He's trying to make fun of my ugliness!MOM! He is trying to hurt me and after he's done with his fun, he's gonna put it online so everyone can see it! HELP!"
Lucy ran to her house as fast as she could. Not even stoping at the kitchen to get some food, she ran right to her room. She locked herself in with her emergency tin foil hat and sat in the corner rocking back and forth in the dark.
She was a little paranoid, no doubt about that, but the last time someone from school complimented her, it turned out to be a plot to make fun of the 'loner' she was. She was intensely bullied afterwards, so you can't blame her for being a bit paranoid.
"I'm safe in here! I'm safe in here!" She mumbled. "No one can hurt me now!" She closed her eyes and took slow and deep breaths to calm herself, but just the thought of Natsu finding her sent her world into complete chaos and made her hyperventilate.
"He wont find me!" She tried to take deep breaths again, but it wasn't working. "Why would he do this?!"
She wracked her brain with questions, trying to figure out why he would compliment her.
"Who put him up to this?!"
"WHO?!"
"Was it Minerva?! That bitch!"
"OMG! IT WAS!"
"Who the fuck does she think she is?!"
After much thinking and no answer to her questions, she started pacing around the room frantically, that was... until she heard her front door slam shut. "Did he find me?! Damn mom! Why did you open the door?!"
Lucy didn't want Natsu to find her, so she wrapped herself in a blanket and hid under the bed. "He's never gonna find me under here." Then she suddenly heard a knock on her door.
'If I'm quiet he won't be able to find me.' thought Lucy.
Her door creaked open. "Hello? Is there anybody in here?" Asked Natsu.
'Shit! How does he know where I live anyways?!' thought Lucy.
While trying to hide herself even more, Lucy accidentally hit her head, "ouch"
"What was that?!" Asked Natsu while Lucy cursed herself for not being quiet enough.
"Go away!" She yelled from under the bed.
"Where are you?!" Asked Natsu.
"GO AWAY! Do you not understand the words that I speak!"
"Show yourself!" Said Natsu.
"I'm under the bed you MORON!" Lucy got out of under the bed and jumped right into full attack mode. "GET OUT!" She threw her emergency tin foil hat at him, "Leave!"
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" asked Natsu.
"Hey! Don't talk to me that way! Watch yourself!" siting on her bed, Lucy took in deep breaths to try and calm down. "You're in my territory now! Follow my rules!"
Natsu was mad now. 'What the fuck was her problem?!' He thought to himself. "I came just to see if I did something wrong earlier, but never mind. I'm leaving"
"Wait" Lucy reached out to grab the his arm "Did Minerva put you up to this? That bitch hates me, she wouldn't think twice about making fun of me"
Natsu started laughing uncontrollably at her words.
"Hey! Why are you laughing?!" Asked an angered Lucy as she walked over to where he was currently laughing his ass off.
"Hahaha! Did you really think someone put me up to this?! HAHAHAHA" Asked Natsu.
"Yes! Why else would you compliment me?!"
"One: I don't know any 'Minevas'. Two: you're delirious. Three: you are pretty. Don't let anyone tell you other wise.." Said Natsu, scratching the side of his arm while looking at the floor.
"W-wait a minute... What did you say?!" Asked Lucy.
"I said you're delirious and I don't know any 'Minervas' and..." He mumbled the rest, too embarrassed to say it again.
"Stop mumbling! I can't hear you!"
"NEVERMIND I EVER CAME HERE!" Yelled Natsu as he stomped out of Lucy's room.
She ran after him, "Wait! Please don't go! You're the first one to ever say that to me!"
He stopped and turned to face her, "So, you did hear me? Did you need me to say it again to make sure I was actually saying that you're pretty? Or are we on different pages?"
"I just wanted to hear it again, for a second time. Because I was sure nobody else would ever say that to me, and a third time would never come." Said Lucy, a bit ashamed.
"You're pretty, you're beautiful, you're gorgeous.. I don't understand how one can resist to say that to you."
After hearing his words, Lucy burst out crying.
"Please don't cry." He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her tightly.
Lucy cried more and more while holding on to his shirt as if she would fall if she let go.
He stroked her hair while she sobbed, reassuring her everything was okay.
"T-thank you" She blushed after realizing that he was hugging her.
"No problem. I just needed to tell you. I thought you would think of me as some kind of creep, but it was worth the risk." Natsu pulled her away enough to see himself in her eyes.
Lucy chuckled, "I would never think of you as a creep" She blushed, "I..actually...I..umm"
Natsu listened attentively, "You what?" He asked.
Lucy blushed a darker red, "I...sort of..l-like y-you" She hid her face in her hands so he wouldn't see her blush.
He chuckled, "Sort of? I have had the longest crush on you."
Looking directly at his eyes to make sure he wasn't lying Lucy asked, "R-really?! I never thought this would happen"
"Why do you under estimate yourself? I never told you from the start because I didn't think you'd feel the same for me."
"I'm sorry" -sobs- "People have made me feel like shit before. It's just hard to believe in yourself when you're constantly put down by others"
He hugged her tightly again and rested his chin lightly on her head while stroking her hair, "I'm here for you, when you need someone. I'm here"
"I love you" Said Lucy.
"I love you, too." He hugged her even tighter, not wanting to let her go.
"I'm giving you my heart. Please, please don't break it" Pleaded Lucy.
"I would never do that to you." Natsu looked into her eyes to show he meant every word he said, then he gently caressed her cheek with his thumb and said, " I love you too much to hurt you". With that, he brought her face to meet up with his and gave her a light peck on the lips.
"I really do love you.." she whispered as she pulled him for another kiss.
he chuckled, "I know" and they kissed again.
