Ahhh! I couldn't help myself! Started writing this today and I'm so satisfied!
I have funny ideas for this! So this should hopefully be fun :D
I did promise myself that I was not going to start on something new before I finished the next chapter of "A New Life" ...
Well... I broke that promises immediately when I saw that you were so many that thought this was a good idea!
So I hope that you will like this :)
Lucy didn't know exactly when her life changed. One day everything was as usual, the next it was all a big chaos. You might wonder what happened? Let me tell you…
When she thinks about it, it started six months ago. She got a new neighbor, the old woman who had lived in the apartment since Lucy moved in was no longer able to live alone so she was moved to a nursing home.
Lucy met her new neighbor for the first time in the elevator - at two o'clock at night to be accurate. At that time she didn't knew that he was her new neighbor. Then it was just a man in an elevator in her eyes.
She was tired, as she often works late pass at the hospital, she will often come home at two o'clock. To meet someone in the elevator at the time is unusual. So when he said that he was new in the building, she realized that it was he who rents the apartment next to hers on the fourth floor.
It was then that she first looked up at the man beside herself, - to be nice, of course. - She welcomed him with a smile and she saw what he looked like for the first time. He was in her age, maybe a year older, he was taller than her and his wild hair was pink, of all colors...
She took a closer look at his face and saw that he had dark eyes, almost black. When he looked at her with a confused look, she realized that she had stared at him, she looked away with a blush. She told herself that it was because she was tired, but she couldn't lie about that he was handsome.
Many weeks in a row, she met him in the elevator. They spoke a few words with each other but never any real conversation, since the clock was always two o'clock.
Sometimes she could hear him during the day, and many times she sat in her apartment with the biggest blush ever.
Since she heard many times a lot of noises from his apartment. At the beginning she thought he had female visitor, but that proved to be wrong.
When he had been her neighbor for two months, he introduced himself by name for the first time.
Natsu Dragneel.
His name suited him perfectly, without even knowing him, he reflected what his name stood for – summer. He was the warmth, the joy.
When he began to ask her questions about her work, her interest, she almost panicked. Could it be that this handsome man could be interested in her?
No, sob - she was dead wrong...
He didn't make any effort to actually flirt with her, or anything else for that matter. That's when she realized that maybe he was new in town and maybe didn't know anyone. And after two months, he maybe felt alone.
A few weeks after that and he talked to her almost every night. - she found out that he was a business man, so he traveled around the world, and she was so jealous when he said that! – and suddenly he invited her over to his place. He smiled at her when she had stuttered out a "what did you say?"
Then he hit on his charm and asked her again if she wanted to come over and watch a movie with him. She just couldn't deny him, not when he looked at her with his charming smile and argh (!) it felt like she was going to melt! How do you say no to that!?
She remembers their first movie, and now when she thinks about it, it's so ironically that she almost wants to cry.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
She remembers that he laughed at where they hid their weapons and how they could not know that they were married with an agent! She received a warning bell then, but did she listened to it? No!
Bad Lucy, bad...
After that, they met each other every time they were available, but of course, they met as usual in the elevator every night when they came home from work.
Lucy soon realized that she had fallen for her crazy but sweet neighbor.
It's here we have her today when she steps out from the elevator with her shopping bags in her hands. She has been shopping home food, since she will be working double shifts now under a week's time. A colleague is sick and they don't have anyone they can call in, and since she is their best doctor, the decided to let her take it. Like she is not working much as it is?
But when she steps out of the elevator she almost drops her bags on the floor in shock. Natsu's door is open and inside the apartment is a man tied. But it's not he who shocks her most. It is the man sitting on Natsu's stomach with a stranglehold on his neck. She runs past them into her apartment where she leaves her bags.
First, she decides not to get involve in whatever happens in Natsu's apartment, but then it hits her that Natsu will die if she doesn't do anything! So she runs out again and sees how the man is struggling with trying to kill Natsu. Natsu seems to see Lucy then and whispers a slow "can you help me?" She looks shocked around her and finally finds his big glass bowl on the coffee table. She takes it up and hit the man in the head with it.
She doesn't hit hard enough for the man to pass out, but at least Natsu comes out of his grip.
She stands there stiff when she hears the man mutter that she is as good as dead.
That's the first time she sees Natsu angry. He rips him up and drag him towards the balcony. He throws him over the edge and keeps him there. The man screams in panic, well, she would have done that to, it is after all four floors up...
"Who would you kill did you say?" Natsu asked coldly.
"No one! I promise! Ah! Let me down!" the man shouted in sheer panic.
"Do you really want me to do that?"
When the man realized what Natsu meant by that he screamed more than before. "No! Not here. Let me down on the floor!"
It was then Lucy's instincts hit in. She ran to the balcony and shouted at Natsu to let him down. However, she made a fool of herself...
She ran to Natsu and she hit him lightly on his arms to show that she was serious, but it ended with that he dropped him. They both stood shocked and looked down at the ground where the man now low dead.
"Fuck!" he murmured. "Erza will kill me."
While Lucy herself stood still and looked at the man. She has killed a man, killed a person, she has done the opposite to what she is supposed to do!
"Oh My God. I am a murderer." whispered Lucy with a lump in her throat.
Natsu then turned on and faced her and grabbed her shoulders. "Lucy, listen to me. You're not a killer. This was an accident." he said loudly.
"Not that I understand why you wanted to help him..." he mumbled more to himself than her.
"He threatened to kill you! But you did nothing wrong. It was I who dropped him so it was I who killed him." She could hear how he tried to take the blame. It is really sweet of him that even in a situation like this, he is so charming.
It was when he raised his hands to her face as she realized she is crying.
"What are you?" she asks through her tears. "A agent?" she was being sarcastic when she said it, but when he looked away, she realized that she was right. Well, damn it... she Lucy Heartfilia has fallen in love with an agent. Her luck sucks...
"Great." she murmured.
He didn't answer her, he still stood there, but now with his hands on her shoulders, she began to wonder what will happen now.
"Are you going to kill me for knowing?" it was hard to ask but she felt she had to know!
"What? No!" he yelled at her. "Why would I do that!?" he sounded both angry and disappointed.
"Because I know something I shouldn't...?" why is she trying to give him a reason to kill her! Is she insane!? She actually starts to believe that...
He just looks at her with a strange facial expression. She can't really read him, she who usually is able to read him like an open book! Or that's what she thought, anyway...
He looks deep into her eyes and then says something she never thought she would hear from his mouth. "I trust you."
She can't do anything but blush. When her head finally begins to function again, she yells at him embarrassed "You can't say that!"
He first looks at her in surprise, but then smiles against her. "It is true, however."
She mumbles a curse, but then looks up at him. "What will happen now?"
"Nothing. Everything can remain as it was" he said and smiled at her. Why can't he stop smiling at her! Doesn't he know what it does with her?
They go back to his living room when they see the other man still lying there tied. "Ops..."
He clears his throat. "Ehm, Lucy maybe I can meet you another day so we can discuss all this. Right now I have some work to do..."
He scratches the back of his head and she realizes that she doesn't even want to know what he is going to do with the man.
She walks quickly past him without looking back. She waves her hands over her head and then leaves.
Shit! What has she given herself into?
Please leave reviews about what you think. :)
It helps me become a better writer.

Well? What do you think?
I have already a few characters that just need to be part of this story (team Natsu), but if there are any special characters from Fairy Tail that you want to be apart of this story, don't hesitate to tell me! :)
Maybe I will use them, maybe not. But it can be both good guys and bad guys!
-..-
I guess I have to start writing the next chapter of "A New Life" now. Doesn't want to break my promise to myself to much. ;D
Until next time!
