She was in love with him.
Without a doubt.
She loved Natsu Dragneel with every fiber of her being.
How did a girl like Lucy Heartfilia, the smart, sweet, and quiet girl end up in love with the dense, childish, loud Natsu you ask?
It started back in second grade when Lucy was seven. Lucy had always been a clumsy kid and would get hurt in the strangest ways. It was lunch time and she was walking through the play ground heading for the play set when a kick ball hit her in the head. When she woke up there was a strange pink haired boy leaning over her. He was an upperclassmen in fourth grade and was ten years old. He apologized and took her to the nurse.
After that it seemed as if he forgot about her. But two weeks later, Lucy was walking home when a guy on a skate board ran into her and ended up twisting her ankle. She looked up surprised to see Natsu with a helmet and pads on. He carried her home and bought her ice cream the next day after school as an apology.
Every time Lucy was hurt, without fail, Natsu would be there to help her. It happened so often that he ended up practically glued to her, protecting her from whatever came.
Ding Dong
The repeating sound of the doorbell snapped Lucy of her thoughts. She got up from her dining table and ran to the door.
"Yo Luce!" Natsu greeted as she opened the door.
"Hi Natsu." Lucy yawned, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Well don't you look terrible." He joked. Lucy shot him a glare and walked back to the dinning table, closely followed by Natsu.
"You got any food?" The pink-haired boy asked.
"There's left over chicken pasta if ya want." Lucy told him as she sat back down at the table. She looked at the mess of papers in front of her and groaned. She woke up early so she could finish her homework but barely wrote a word. Lucy slammed her head on the table and groaned loudly. Natsu looked at her weirdly as he stuffed his face with pasta.
"Didn't finish your homework?" Natsu asked. Lucy nodded her head and lifted it of the table.
"Sorry, I guess the mall will have to wait." Lucy apologized but Natsu just waved her off.
"Nah, it's not going anywhere. Besides it's only ten, we have plenty of time." He reassured her. Lucy looked up at him and smiled. She murmured a quiet 'thanks' then got to work while Natsu played on her laptop. One hour later Lucy stretched and gave out a sigh of relief. She finished her summer book report and only had her history project left. She and Natsu went to Fairy Academy which was a unified middle school and high school, and also gave homework over summer break.
"Well I think that's enough for now." Lucy told herself and stood up. "I'm gonna get dressed I'll be back in ten." Lucy called as she walked to her room.
"Kay." Natsu called back as he roamed the internet. Lucy opened up he drawers and grabbed a pair of yoga pants and a pink football jersey that had her last name on the back with the number 3 on it. It was her birthday present from Natsu last year. When she asked about the number he said it was because of how old they were when they first met. Ten minus seven was three. It was her favorite shirt.
Lucy shoved on a pair of black converse and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and comb her waist length hair. She decided to leave it down and turned of the lights to her bathroom .
"Okay let go." Lucy said as she walked to the kitchen counter to grab her apartment keys.
"Thought the time would never come!" Natsu smirked as she lightly whacked him in the head.
"Oh shut up." Lucy tried to fake being mad but failed miserably as she started to laugh. Natsu followed her out the door to his car, which was a black 2000 Audi he got from his dad for his sixteenth birthday.
Before Natsu even took a step near his car, he shoved five motion sickness pills down his throat and chugged a bottle of water.
"Okay!" Natsu sighed. "Let's go!" The two hopped in the car and drove off to the mall. On the way they chit chat about little things to pass the time. Natsu did most of the talking as Lucy just liked to listen rather than talk.
As Natsu pulled up to the malls parking lot he hopped out of the car with no problems. Lucy however got her leg stuck in her seat belt and fell out of the car and fell face first on the blacktop with a shriek. Natsu ran over to Lucy and helped her up and untangled her leg.
"Clumsy as ever I see." Natsu grinned.
"It was the seatbelt's fault!" Lucy pouted. He let out a laugh and grabbed her arm, pulling her to the mall entrance.
"Come on let's go!" Natsu shouted as he practically dragged her through the mall. They ran up to their favorite shop, Game Stop. They browsed through the different aisles, looking at all the different games for their own counsels. Natsu owned a Xbox Live, Wii U and a PS4, while Lucy owned a regular old Wii and a PS3. They continued to browse through the store, each looking for a specific game when their favorite song came on.
Put on your war paint
Natsu and Lucy immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
They began to dance and sing along, game searching forgotten.
We are Jack-o-lanterns in July, setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide, so come on
The people in the shop started to give the friends weird looks.
Put on your paint
Natsu started to chase Lucy around the store as they both continued to sing, not caring if they sounded bad.
Cross walks crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Grey clouds with silver linings
So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on while your waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Natsu and Lucy stopped running and jumped up and down and danced sloppily. Causing the people around them to laugh and take out their phones to take a video.
Hey young, blood doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
"Natsu?" A voice called the two looked over to where the voice came from, but didn't stop jumping.
Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched, make career out of robbing banks
A white-haired girl with sparkling blue eyes stared at them and Lucy could have sworn she was glaring.
"Hey Lisanna!" Natsu called still dancing. "Why don't you join us?" Natsu waved at her to come over.
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"I'll pass." She scrunched her nose. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Lisanna asked.
Natsu stopped danced and asked back, "can't it wait?" Lisanna shook her head and dragged him out of the store.
"I'll be back in a sec!" Natsu called at Lucy as he was dragged off.
"Kay!" Lucy shouted back and continued to jump up and down as she sang to herself and looked at the games.
Lisanna had been dating Natsu for a year and didn't approve of her boyfriend having a girl for a best friend. Even though he was dating someone Lucy continued to love him. Even if it hurt, if Natsu was happy with her, then she was happy.
The song ended and Lucy stopped dancing and sat down to catch her breath. She looked through the bottom row when she saw what she had come here for.
"Sims 4!" Lucy cried out. She already owned Sims 1 2 and 3 and this was the only one she needed. She discovered Sims about five months ago and worked her but off to buy all of them, since she lived alone.
Natsu and Lisanna came back in the shop and Lucy ran over to him.
"Natsu look! It's the game I was looking for!" Lucy squealed.
"Nice, now if I could only I could mortal combat x." Natsu through his hands up in the air.
"Umm, in was on the stand when we walked in..." Lucy's sweat dropped.
"Really?!" Natsu yelled excitedly and ran for the door. Lucy was about to follow him when Lisanna stepped in her way.
"Listen here bitch," She hissed. "Stay away from Natsu." She then twirled on her heel and followed after Natsu. Just because Lucy wants Natsu to be happy doesn't mean she has to like his girlfriend.
Lucy sighed and walked to the cash register with Natsu and Lisanna.
