The River. Chapter 1

Lucy casually sat on the ledge of the riverbank, deep in thought staring at her reflection and how amazing the sun looked on the water. Shiny and simply gorgeous.

'This river reminds me of the one back home, the one me and mama always use to run by, i remember it all, how her beautiful face would shine with the sun and her dress would sparkle along with with her long hair, we would run by it hand in hand trying to catch butterflies or dragonflies, those were the good times. haha that was the only i chose this apartment, it wasnt really about the price. i just really love walking by the river..it reminds me of mama..i miss her so much.. i.. i '

"careful lucy, thats dangerous."the fisherman called out to the girl braking her consentration and stoping her tears.

"huh, oh don't worry about me." she waved to the fisherman with a casual smile that shined like the sun. She was admiring the reflection of sun some more after the fisherman had gone when all of a sudden she feels two strong arms grasp her shoulders and swiftly push her towards the water.

"kyaaaa!" Lucy yelled in surprise as her face was only inches from the water and some of her strands of hair were gently floating above the water. as she looked at the reflection in the water she could see a man, she was uncertain who the man was, until she saw a splotch of pink.

"NATSU!"

"haha lucy you should have see the expression on your face." he lifted her up on the sidewalk and looked down at her with his goofy grin plastered on his face.

"Natsu! it isn't okay to scare people like that!" lucy said with a slight blush as she smacked his arm." And don't you dare ever do it again!"

"aww come on luce i was only trying to get back at you for not showing up at the guild today. I was waiting for you for hours so that we could choose a mission to go on." Natsu whined but there was a slight disappointment in his eyes.

"...sorry natsu..its just...i was planning on leaving somewhere today so i didnt want to bother with going to the guild today." Lucy said in a gentle tone refusing to look natsu in the eyes.

" Eh? where are you going lucy! and why are you going without me! aren't we nakama! or do you no longer want to be my teamate...? or maybe you just dont care about me anymore.." his eyebrows furrowed not understanding why lucy was doing this..without him.

'i guess i must not be that important to her..its what i expected at least i mean i couldn't honsetly believe that she actually l..'. his train of thought was interrupted when he felt to slender arms embrace him.

"No Natsu it isnt like that! i...i..i." she choked out but decided not to finish her sentence so he couldn't hear her sobs. Regardless he could feel her tears fall against his uncovered chest. Natsu's eyes widened as he realized Lucy was crying, his Lucy was crying and he didn't know why or what to do.

"Lucy." He said in a warm and tender voice as he returned her embrace, he gently stroked her gold locks while his other hand tightly wound around her back.
