Present day

*Lucy's POV*

Why do I always have bad timing?!

'Hmm? What's this little Blondie doing here?' I turned towards the voice and became faced with a tough looking guy. He had black hair that swooped over his right eye. His red eyes boosted my fear as his devil type smirk widen, I took a step back.

'Aww, don't scare her like that, I'm not in the mood for a chase right now' Moving my eyes to the right I saw a blond wild haired guy; looking closely I saw he had a scar going down his right eyebrow.

Mum... What did I get myself into?

'Lay a hand on her and you'll be begging for death' A husky voice spoke behind me and as I turned around my eyes locked onto his onyx's eyes.

One day earlier

*Normal POV*

~La La La~

Lucy Heartfilia was humming along the market street after all... she did just buy some chocolate coated strawberries from the local stall. She smiled to herself as she remembered something very important..

*Flashback*

"Mummy! I made some chocolate coated strawberries" 5 year old Lucy ran to her mother while holding a tray of freshly picked strawberries.

"That's wonderful Dear! You really are a star"

*End of flashback*

Suddenly, Lucy felt something wet drip onto her hand as she looked down; she realised that it's started to rain

"Oh no!" Lucy quickly grabbed her umbrella from her bag and rushed along the streets. She couldn't check into her hotel room until 6pm and looking at her watch it was 3pm..

Baka! Lucy thought to herself, she came to stop breathing heavily. After a few seconds she recovered and looked around. I'm lost... She groaned in annoyance and decided to walk around.

*One hour later*

"I'm getting nowhere!" Lucy screamed and then sighed in frustration. She ran her hand through her soaking wet hair (Yes, she did lose her umbrella... No it wasn't in anger...) Lucy took a strong breath in, counted to three and exhaled. Then, she heard a noise... a groan? Of pain? Widening her eyes she ran towards the noise, ran around a corner but instead of gracefully stopping; she slipped and landing on something hard.

"Ow!" Lucy rubbed her forehead and sat up, looking down she saw that she was on top of something... No, someone! "Oh my Mavis! I am so sorry! I didn't mean—" Lucy stopped because she realised this person was in a lot of pain.

Lucy moved to his hair and examined his unconscious body. His clothes were torn and he was covered head to toe in brushes and cuts. He was wearing dark jeans but he was shirtless (Probably was torn to pieces) She placed a hand on his soft, handsome face and moved his salmon hair away from his face

"Phew" She sighed with relief. "You don't have a fever but I need to move you out of the rain" Lucy carefully placed his arm around her shoulders and she, with difficulty, moved his body to an alley way. "This isn't exactly a luxury palace but at least it's sheltered from the rain" She took off her jacket and placed it around him "Here, it should help" She shivered but ignored it 'He needs it more than me!'

Lucy grabbed her bag and found her carry on first aid kit "You're lucky I take this everywhere" She muttered. She grabbed some wipes and started cleaning his dirty handsome face 'Wait.. What?! What am I thinking?!' She shook her head quickly and carried on then moving on to his chest, arms etc after that she took care of his wounds.

*Half an hour later*

Tying the last knot around his arm, Lucy was done.

She sighed with exhaustion and started shivering again. "There. You should feel better after some rest..." She heard a tiny whimper of some sort coming from him but she knew he was having a nightmare not waking up. She placed a hand on his and spoke in a soft and soothing tone "Shh.. It's alright, you're safe now..." She saw him relax a little and for some reason it relaxed her too. "Don't worry... I won't leave you" She moved to his side and rested her head on his shoulder "I promise" She exclaimed and shortly after, sleep took over.

Lucy just wanted to help this guy out from the kindness of her heart but she didn't realise what she just brought herself into...
