Chapter 1: Leave me alone

Third person

"YOU WANNA FIGHT! HUH?" Natsu screamed at Gray's face as he just arrived at the Fairy Tail guild hall. "BRING IT ON!" Gray replied as they both started fighting as usual for no reason. Lucy was sitting in her usual seat giggling at the two boys who were fighting over nothing. Mirajane came over to lucy "Hey Lucy!" Mirajane exclaimed as her face was beaming with joy seeing her once again. "Hey Mira!" Lucy replied instantly. "They just wont quit will they?" Lucy giggled while saying it. "I'm sure they wont." Mirajane smiled.

Lucy and Mirajane were chatting away and tried to catch up on whats been happening since Lucy was busy at home writing her novel. Suddenly, Natsu jumped out of nowhere almost scaring Lucy to death. "HEY LUCY! YOUR BACK!" Natsu shouted as he had a massive grin on his face. "I sure am" Lucy giggled. "I'm guessing your ready for an adventure!" Natsu threw his fist in the air. "As much as I am ready, I can't, I need to go back home to do something." Lucy said with an apologising look on her face. "Aww man! I was really hoping you'd come, and what is that 'something' you need to do?" Natsu tilted his head to the side asking. "None of your business" Lucy tried to sound serious but she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Why are you laughing? Your weird!" Natsu giggled.

"Hmmm... Aha! I got it!" Lucy sat at her desk writing her novel. She then got up and started yawning "Aaa.. I better get some rest from writing." She stood up as suddenly Natsu jumped in through the window. "NATSU! YOU SCARED ME! EVER HEARD OF USING THE DOORS?" Lucy yelped jumping around. "Woah chillax Luce, I just came to visit" Natsu brightly smiled. "Well for your information im going to sleep!" Lucy walked around not making eye contact. "Oh is that so? it's only 2 pm! Come on, Im bored!" Natsu started jumping around in boredom. "What! I thought it's the evening, I must of got so carried away with my novel that I didn't realise." Lucy sighed~ "AHHA! your writing a novel aren't you!?" Natsu smirked. "How did you know!?" Lucy's eyes opened wide. "You literally just said it out loud like a second ago..." Natsu facepalmed. "Oh.. promise you won't tell anyone!" Lucy grabbed him by the scarf and stared into his soul. "I-I promise!" he was almost being strangled, then Lucy finally let go of him and he got his breathe back as he fixed his scarf. "Don't grab my scarf like that ever again." Natsu looked at lucy with a mad look on his face. "Why not? Igneel wouldn't mind because he's not here!-" Lucy quickly stopped and panicked at what she just said, but it was too late. "Natsu! I-" Lucy got cut off. "Leave. me. ALONE" Natsu jumped out of the window. Lucy collapsed on the floor. "Why... WHY!.. WHY DID MY STUPID MOUTH SAY THAT! gahh.. I really didn't mean to say that..Natsu" She thought.

A few days went past and Lucy hadn't heard from Natsu for a while, he was also no where to be seen at the guild and Lucy was getting worried until he decided to show up. There was no expression on his face, looked as though he didn't have a face at all. Gray stood up from his chair. "Look who decided to show up! YOU WANNA FIGHT!?" Gray yelled jumping from side to side punching the air. Natsu completely blanked him out and went to sit over at the bar. "Mira.. Can I have something to drink?" Natsu asked as his elbows both rested on the table and his hands began to hold his face. "Sure thing, what would you like?" Mirajane smiled but her smile faded after she heard Natsu's answer. "Alcohol... I dont care what type just give me it." As Natsu replied, his face still didn't look up. Mira was shocked in horror, she never expected all of a sudden for Natsu to join the party like Cana. "W-what?" Mira asked in shock. "You heard me... Alcohol.." Natsu was getting frustrated. "A-alright then" Mirajane poured him some vodka and he gulped it down straight away. Lucy had noticed him while she was sitting and reading her book and she didn't like where this was going. Lucy ran over to Natsu. "What the hell do you think your doing!?" Lucy cried out. "... Why do you care" Natsu replied carelessly. "Did I hurt you that bad? I am truly sorry for what I said, I really am! I don't wanna lose my best friend, not right now and not anytime soon." Lucy bawled into tears as she grabbed Natsu and threw herself into his arms for a hug. "I'm not mad at you.. you idiot..." Natsu giggled. "Then what's up with all this drinking?" Lucy asked in confusion. "I thought I could.. ya know.. treat myself for once." Natsu explained as he took another gulp. "By getting drunk? I dont think so." Lucy snatched the last glass from him. "Ugh.. anyways I have to go.. See ya around." Natsu stood up and left the guild. "Geez.. Whats gone into him?" Lucy wondered.

Mirajane came over. "Hey.. Sorry it's my fault for giving him the alcohol." Mira sighed. "No it's not, it's not your choice because it's what you have to do, besides, it's not like he's completely wiped out from this drinking but he still drank a lot." Lucy chattered. "Not gonna lie Lucy, but you two look super cute together!" Mira's face beamed. "pfff... yeah right" Lucy blabbed sarcastically. "I mean it! I'm sure he could be a jerk sometimes but think about it, you two could be falling for each other without realising so I'm here to help you realise!" Mirajane blurted out. "Oh please! Me and him are best friends, we'd never ruin our friendship like that." Lucy commented. "I'm pretty sure your friendship wouldn't be ruined! Look at him, he's charming and not to mention, try counting how many times he's made you happy, either by protecting you or either in general trying to help you have a smile on your face?" Mirajane had a point. "I still don't have feelings for him and I wont, but I suppose you are right about the other things because he has made me smile a lot and I wouldn't ask for a better friend than him." Lucy agreed and she started to slightly blush. "Lucy! That's your words for totally crushing on him!" Mirajane yelled as Lucy tried to shut her mouth. "No I don't! If I did I would of told you!" Lucy angrily replied. "Well Lucy... Your ready to tell me now?" Mira giggled. Lucy was pissed off so she stormed out of the guild. "I didn't mean to get her that mad... I thought she had feelings for him, but I guess I was wrong..." Mirajane frowned as she thought.

Lucy was heading to her house and as she was walking, she thought a lot. "Why would Mira think I like Natsu, Sure, He's a great guy and all but we are best friends and I know we'd never be together, me and him are partners and we work as a team to help Fairy Tail." Lucy sighed thinking about it. As she entered her room, she jumped as she saw Natsu lying in her bed. "What do you think your doing!?" Lucy squeeled. "Huh?.. Oh. hey Luce" Natsu awoke from his sleep and looked at Lucy. "What's wrong with you?" Lucy asked. "My head hurts..." Natsu sat up looking at the ground. "Obviously it's going to hurt! Did you forget that you drank a lot!?" Lucy spoke. "I know." Natsu sighed. "Wait... Why did you start drinking anyways? If it wasn't because of me then what was the reason?" Lucy sat down next to Natsu. Natsu took a breathe "...I was being used and I was betrayed...". Lucy's eyes were wide open. "huh? what do you mean betrayed?" Lucy was puzzled. "... I met this one girl... her name was like Katy or something like that but I call her Kat for short... She's a wizard but she doesn't belong in any guild, I liked her and she was nice to me and all but one time I asked her on a date and she said yes but she betrayed me because she only used me... for my powers... and I told her my secrets and I trusted her but I was wrong and because of that, I've completely lost interested in dating any girl ever again."Natsu burst into tears. "This was my very first date as well and it was the worst date ever!" Natsu fell backwards onto the bed. Lucy was speechless "Y-you went on a date with someone? how long have you known her for?" Lucy surprisingly asked him. "Yeah I did and I've known her for about a month now, I've been hiding this from everyone and I am truly sorry." Natsu said "But who cares now because my secrets have probably been blabbered out by that stupid bitch!" Natsu became angry and Lucy put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "hey, it's alright, no one blames you, of course I'm a little surprised you had the courage to ask her out and what breaks me the most is that, that girl doesn't understand what a great guy you are and you don't need anyone that only cares about your wealth, your strengh or whatever you have to offer, you need someone who cares truly for you, but I think for now you should take a break from girls." Lucy smiled and giggled. "Thanks Luce, but then shouldn't I take a break from you?" Natsu laughed. "HUH! that's not what I meant! I meant like dating girls! you idiot!" Lucy mumbled. "Haha.. I'm not dumb ya know, I know what you meant." They both started laughing.

Lucy and Natsu were playing games till it was dark. "Hey Luce, it's getting pretty dark, I guess I better get going." Natsu stood up from the floor walking towards the door when suddenly Lucy blocked the way. "Uh, your in my way." Natsu raised an eyebrow. "Yeah I am, you got a problem?" Lucy smirked. "Yeah, I'm trying to go home." Natsu fixed his hair. "But I don't want you to go yet! we were meant to bake cupcakes!" Lucy frowned. "Yeah I know, but I'm really tired Lucy, I'll see you tomorrow." Natsu went around Lucy and walked towards the door waving goodbye and then left. "I have to admit, I'm pretty tired too, I better go get ready to go to bed." Lucy went to take a bath. She then came back and changed into her pyjamas and cuddled into bed.

The morning came and Lucy woke up. She stretched her arms in the air and fell back into bed. "aa.. a new day awaits!" Lucy thought and jumped out of bed to get ready for the day. Lucy walked into the guild hall and was standing near the bar table where Mirajane was working. "Hey Lucy! sorry about what happened yesterday." Mira frowned. "Hey it's not your fault I jus- AH!" Lucy screamed. Natsu had runned over to Lucy and scared her and wrapped his arms around her waist from the back. "HEY LUCY!" He had his signature grin on him. Lucy was blushing on the extreme and escaped the 'touchy' moment. "Natsu! Can you not!" Lucy crossed her hands but her heart was beating a little faster than usual for some reason, but it was probably because he scared her so much. "Haha! sorry, my bad! anyways I thought we could go on a mission today if your not busy!" Natsu smiled. "He definitaley looks happier today" Lucy thought. "Sure! What job did you pick?" I asked while smiling at Natsu. "It's pretty easy! It's just to stop a few lame robbers from escaping, it's 70,000 jewels, just enough for you to pay your rent!" Natsu beamed. Lucy was so happy and hugged Natsu. Happy flew above them and shouted "You liiiiike each other!". Lucy looked up "Shut up, stupid cat!" Lucy replied.

Natsu, Lucy and Happy had finally finished the job and were going back to the guild until Lucy stopped. "Huh? what's wrong?" Natsu asked. "I better get going home, I'm really tired, we did great today!" Lucy smiled. "Yeah! we did! but I suppose you should since it was a long day, see ya tomorrow!" Natsu grinned waving to Lucy who was walking to her house.
