ExtremelyCreativeGirl: Hey there ! This is my first Story and English is my fifth language, so there might be a lot of mistakes...

I'm not really creative, you can see that by reading the title. But I still hope that you'll like this story.

The story is written in Lucy's POV.

Well, don't know what else to say. So let's just give it a shot.

Merely an Attraction

Chapter 1

"I already said that I'm sorry. You can't be mad at me forever." She didn't answer. She was sitting on the passenger seat. The whole ride was quiet. It was always like this when she was mad.
"It's your fault." It was barely hearable. I sighted. "I know I should have asked you about your opinion before accepting the offer for the new job. I was really selfish of me. I know that it's hard for you to leave your friends behind. Please forgive me, Wendy."

I got an offer for a job at the Sorcerer Magazine and I was so excited that I accepted it immediately. After I told Wendy about the offer she was happy for me. I told her that evening that the Sorcerer Magazine was in Magnolia so that we had to move there. That made her was hard for her because we lived in Crocus for just 3 years. She said she finally made friends and that she was happy there.

"And besides I thought that it was every teenager's dream to go to Magnolia." I could hear a giggle escaping her mouth. "I promise you this would be the last time we move somewhere Wendy. So please forgive me."
Wendy finally turned her head towards me. "Alright I forgive you Lucy. And I'm sorry for acting like this." She petted Charles, our white cat, who jumped from the backseats on Wendy's lap.

She was asleep since we left the liked Charles a lot. Charles was still a little kitten when we picked her from the streets. Wendy was really happy that day. I can still remember her smiling at me. Charles became a part of our family.

"Are we there yet?"
I let a deep sigh out. I knew she would ask this question. She probably didn't ask earlier because she was 'mad' at me. "Soon. You haven't slept at all. I'll wake you up when we arrive."

She fell asleep really quickly. It was nice that my little sister wasn't angry at me anymore. But I knew that after some apologies she would forgive me because I and Charles were the only ones left who she could trust. We were a family of three members: Wendy, Charles and Me.

I was in charge of her because we didn't have parents anymore. Both of them died in a car accident when I was seventeen and Wendy twelve.

That was four years ago. At that time we still lived in our parent's Estate. That day our parents went to visit some family friends. They told us they would be home by midnight. But when we woke up the next morning they still weren't home. We tried to contact them on their phones but nobody responded. Still the same day in the afternoon the police came at our door, telling us that our parent's were dead. Wendy and I were both crushed by the message. And because we were too young to live alone, we had to move to our aunt of my mother's side of the family, in Crocus.

We stayed there, even after my 18th birthday. Auntie didn't want to let us move out. I continued school until I graduated, but I didn't go to college. Since I didn't want to always depend on auntie, I started working. I found a part time job as a writer for some magazine in Crocus.

But even with my job I couldn't earn enough money for us to move out. When I got the offer for Sorcerer Magazine, I was happy: I could finally earn enough money and a reason to get out of auntie's house. I had to accept it.

It was 10 o'clock in the evening. I stopped at a petrol station to refill the fuel. Before I entered the car I took from the luggage space a blanket to cover Wendy with it. It was midst November and it was already really cold outside. When I entered the car I saw that Wendy turned around to look at me before she asked: "Why don't you take a nap. You were driving the whole day." I smiled at her and told her that we would reach Magnolia soon and that I would sleep when we arrive.

"For someone who was mad at me for the whole week you look really worried." I whispered. I heard her giggle. "You know that I love you really much Lucy. I can never be mad at you for long."

That's when she drifted to sleep. Charles made herself comfortable on Wendy's lap. She purred with satisfaction as Wendy started petting her head.

"Wendy? Wendy? Wendy!" I screamed as I tried to wake her up. She was really a deep sleeper. "What's wrong Lucy?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes.

"We're there?" "Yes. So get up. You can sleep in your new room." I smiled at her when I saw her face lit up. I stepped out of the car to look at the building in front of me: It was very tall. It looked like it had six floors. Over the door was a sign that said 'Fairy Tail'. Next to the door were stairs who leaded too the basement. Down there was also a door and over that door was a shining shield saying 'Fairy Tail Bar'. The building itself looked old, but it wasn't bad looking. I wondered why the apartment was so cheap.

I sighed "Well at least it has a bar. Well then Wendy, let's go!" I entered the building and Wendy followed with slow steps after me.

From the inside it looked more modern. The room looked like a lobby of a hotel. On the right side was a counter. Behind the counter was a door, probably the staffroom. In the left corner was a television and two sofas. It looked new so I supposed they just added it. The stairs were on the right side of the room.
All in one it looked really nice. I couldn't understand why the rent for the apartment was so cheap.

This building belonged to a man named Makarov Dreyar. He wasn't here thought, he was on vacation. On the phone he told me that I should look for a girl named Aries. He said she was one of the workers there. She would give me the key.

But the room was empty. They were all probably asleep. "Well it's midnight and I don't think somebody would be awake n-". "Excuse me..."I was cut off by a pink haired girl. She looked really shy "I'm really sorry. You must be Lucy Heartfilia, right? And this must be your little sister Wendy."

The girl in front of us was really cute and beautiful. She didn't look older than me. She wore a cute white dress which reached to her waist. She also wore a pair of over knees and white boots. "Yes that's true I am Lucy, this is Wendy and this is Charles" I said pointing first at me, then at Wendy and at Charles, who just jumped on the counter.

"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aries. I was supposed to give you your keys." She gave me a key. I supposed it was the key for the apartment. I took the key and smiled at her.

The only thing I wanted that moment was to sleep. "Your room is on the third floor, first door on the left." After that she opened the door behind the counter and entered the room. I looked at the key in my hands; I really wonder how our new home looks like. Wendy pulled me by my sleeve to get my attention. I turned to her and saw that she was yawning. We proceeded to our new apartment.

I haven't noticed that we were already in front of the door. We entered our new home. The apartment was big. It was neat and tidy so I supposed somebody cleaned it before we arrived. As I went trough the apartment I noticed that there was a staircase with three steps. It leaded to an upper part of the living room.

A corridor was also on that part of the living room. There were three doors. Two on the left side and one on the right side. Which one leads to were is going to be my task for tomorrow. I was too tired to do it opened the first door entered her new bedroom. Yeah, she was really good at guessing...

She climbed in the bed and fell asleep very quickly. It was almost one in the morning. I yawned as I proceeded to the room next to Wendy's.

I opened the door and went inside the room. It was a bedroom. Finally!

I turned the lights on and looked around. Bed? Check. Closet? Check. Cosmetic Table? Check. Carpet? Check. Half naked, but hot, pink haired man? Check. Balcony? Che-… Wait a minute…

"Ahhhhhh!" I screamed.

In the middle of the room was a half naked, but hot, pink haired man, who seemed also surprised to see me here. He launched himself at me and closed my mouth with his hand "Shh. You're going to wake up Erza."

When I stopped screaming he asked me "Who are you and why are you here?" I raised a brow. What a question. Wasn't it obvious? "Shouldn't I ask you that?" "I asked first!" I sighed. I don't know this man but I was sure that he acted like a five year old brat. He reminded me of Wendy when she was five.

That moment my eyes widened "Oh my God, Wendy!" I ran out to look if Wendy was still sleeping. As I opened the door I heard a small snore escaping the room. I sighed, why was I even worrying; she's already sixteen! It's not like she's a baby who would cry by the smallest noise.

I closed the door and returned to my room only noticing the man was still there sitting on the edge of my bed. He was smiling at me.

A deep and long sigh escaped my mouth" You're still here?" He crossed his arms over his toned chest and pouted"That's rude. Besides you still haven't answered my questions." Then he showed me a toothy grin. Well he actually looked cute with that smile...

I sat down next to him on my bed and answered his question "My name is Lucy and I just moved here." He smiled at me "My name's Natsu. I live in the apartment next to yours. So that makes us neighbors."

So he was a resident here. And here I thought that he was some kind of creep who broke into this apartment. But still something bothered me "If you live in the apartment next to mine, then why are you here? And how did you even get in here?"

"I'm here because I forgot my key in my apartment and knew this room was free so I planned to sleep over for the night. I used the window to get in here." The smile never left his lips.

I started to laugh. He climbed trough the window because he forget his key? Why didn't he climb trough his own window like this?

He looked really confused "Why are you laughing? I didn't say anything funny. You're really weird Lucy." I stopped laughing and crossed my arms over my chest "Yeah, says the one whose hair is pink and who's half naked."

I actually forgot that he was only wearing boxers. His clothes were tossed on the floor. I wonder if he always slept like this. It was November right now and damn cold outside. But he sure was handsome and had a well build body.

Just looking at him gave me shivers. How can he sit here like that?

"Put something on!"

Natsu looked at me and smirked "Aw, come on! I know you like it! You were checking me out earlier." I blushed at that statement.
I turned away to hide my blush but Natsu already saw it "Why is your face red? Are you blushing?" Natsu said in a playful manner.

He started laughing. I turned to look at him and stuttered "T-that's not t-true! I'm not blushing!" "You can't deny it, Lucy. After all I'm irresistible." He smirked again.

One thing was sure: I hated his smirk. It was true he was hot and I couldn't deny it; His spiky hair, his well build body, and his smile. And I hated his smirk because it was the sexiest one I have ever seen. I couldn't take my eyes of him. Ugh, curse his hotness!

"You were checking me out again Lucy." My face heated up again but I tried to ignore it "Stop teasing me, Natsu".

He wouldn't stop laughing and somehow I also started to laugh. The whole room echoed with laughers. Thought I really tried to supress them, it didn't work.
After he calmed down a bit, he asked me "Do you like it here?" My laughers went down too and I answered "Well I just arrived here one hour ago. But I actually got an idea what my life is going to be like from tonight on."

He raised a brow "And how that?" I smiled "I just met my neighbor half naked in the middle of my room in which he broke in because he needed a place to sleep. " He chucked "Okay. Good point."

"By the way, you could've also entered your room the same way as mine." No comment.

Tiredness came over me again. I could barely stay awake. I lifted myself up to pull down my pants, leaving me now only with a white tank top and black lace panties. I turned around to check the clock but first I saw was Natsu's smirk.

I smirked playfully "Like what you see?" But I didn't expect his answer. "You bet!" he said the smirk never leaving his face. My face heated up again. Why does he have to say these things?

I looked at the clock only to state that it was already three in the morning. I yawned and dropped myself on the bed. Natsu dropped himself next to me. I gave him a sharp look but sighed, I was too tired to deal with him now. I think he understood that so he didn't say anything.

I turned around my back facing Natsu. I fell asleep really fast.

But I didn't know if it was alright to let a completely stranger who you just met sleep with you in your bed, plus he was half naked and my little sister was in the room next to mine.

But somehow I felt like I could trust him. I could also be wrong, because I am pretty naive.

However, he was childish and he was cute and he was really, really hot… I should really stop with that.
