I got tired of my other fanfics, so sorry. :/ I wanted to make something with an actual plot this time. -_- And something that was a bit serious. I felt like everything else I made was full of crap and mush and pointless fluff with no story behind it at all. So here you go. Enjoy!

I was forgotten and left on the streets after my parents died. No money, no home, no job, no friends. I roamed around for about a week, digging through the trash for food, sleeping in a church nearby. It was completely different from my previous life. I had fancy clothes, expensive dinners, and was pampered everyday. My father had left no money behind; all of the money he had was used to pay debts from many years ago. Being the rich girl I was, I acted snobby, pushing people away. I focused on my studies all the time and never really tried to communicate with other people. Writing was my hobby, and I already finished writing an entire novel, though I never wanted to let anyone read it.

I continued to wander all alone. I covered my face with a thick jacket and sunglasses and tied my hair back, trying to make myself look like a male. I pulled up my hoodie and tightened as much as possible. I was almost jumped multiple times for looking like a girl, so it was a bit safer this way. It began raining. Hard. I looked up, the drops of water going into my eyes and blurring my vision. I walked forward. My stomach began to growl. I honestly didn't feel like looking through trash cans again. So I sat down on the bench of a bus stop. I had a little bit of change, so maybe I'll go on the bus. Far away from here. My former home was still nearby, and I couldn't bear to have any old neighbors recognize me and try to talk to me. Once the bus arrived, I got on and paid the fare that was due. I sat down all the way in the back, next to a window. People looked at me funny as I walked past them. The looks I got now are different from the ones I got before. People used to look at me with envy and awe. It's amazing how times have changed. I rested my head against the window and drifted off to sleep, the pattering of the rain soothing me.

I was woken up with a gentle shake. I opened my eyes and saw a girl with red hair smiling at me. She looked a bit intimidating, but seemed nice overall.

"This is the last stop. Time to go," she said.
"O-Oh...Yeah. Thanks."
"No problem. Nice sunglasses by the way. They seem pretty expensive."
"Huh? No, not really."
"Hm. Okay."

She walked out the door and I followed behind her. Where do I go now? I was pretty hungry and thirsty...I haven't had clean water in such a long time. I just walked around in the rain, the cold beginning to seep through my jacket and into my skin. I continued to rove around for what felt like hours until I felt my feet ache. My throat felt dry and my stomach empty. I didn't stop, though. I carried on walking. I passed multiple people, not caring about what they looked like or who they were. It was all a blur. I kept doing this until I passed out on the sidewalk.

I awoke the second time that day, the latter being more comfortable. I lifted my hands up to rub the fogginess away from my eyes only to realize that my sunglasses were gone. I looked around and found them on a nightstand beside the bed I was laying on. I was snapped out of my stupor by the voice of a man. My guard immediately went up and I finally understood that I was an idiot to be worrying about my glasses instead of where I am and my own well-being.

"Ah. You're awake now," the guy said while grinning. He seemed nice enough. And weird. I mean, his hair was pink. Still, I mustn't be too careless.

"Who are you? Why am I here? Where I am I? What's happening? You didn't do anything to me while I was asleep, did you?" I glared at him as best I could.

"I am Natsu. You're here cause I brought you here. You're in my apartment. Nothing's really happening except that you just woke up. And yes, I did do things to you while you slept."
"YOU'RE DISGUSTING! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" I stood up was about to run out the door when his hand caught my wrist.
"What are you talking about? All I did was take off your jacket and sunglasses, and let you sleep in my bed."

My cheeks turned red with embarrassment. I managed to mutter out a small thank you before plopping back down onto this guy's bed. I still didn't really trust him.

"Oh yeah. I'll be right back," Natsu said.

He came back a few minutes later with a bowl of chicken soup in his hands. I noticed he was holding the bowl without mitts or a towel or anything. Doesn't that burn?

"Here," He said and gave me the bowl. I placed it between my legs on top of the blanket so I wouldn't burn myself. I tried to restrain myself, but couldn't, and ended up taking huge mouthfuls and finishing rather quickly. The pink haired guy looked on with his arms crossed, completely unconcerned.

He opened his mouth to speak but decided against it. Then I guess he chose to say it anyway.

"You smell bad. You should go take a shower."

He should have kept his mouth shut.

After I had taken a shower, I found spare clothes and a note on the bed. A black tank top and fuzzy blue pajama pants with little white stars on them. These clothes were for girls. Maybe he had a girlfriend or something? Or a roommate that was a girl? Or maybe a relative left some clothes here? Meh. Who cares?

I changed clothes and then went on to read the note. It said:

I'm gonna leave for a bit. Do whatever you want. You can use anything here like it's yours.

-Natsu

Hm. Okay. I'll get some water, then. I walked towards the kitchen and looked around for a cup. I turned on the tap in the sink and poured the water into the clear plastic cup I had grabbed. I gulped it down in a few swallows and left the empty cup on the counter. I had no idea what to do with myself. I was in a stranger's house, all by myself. I walked back to the bedroom I woke up in. I plopped down on the bed.

"It's been so long since I last slept in a bed..." I whispered, somewhat astounded.

I grabbed the controller on the nightstand and turned on the TV. I dove into the covers and began flipping through channels. I stared blankly at the screen. Nothing interested me. I began to doze of before I realized just how tired I was. Living on the streets has begun to take its toll on me.

I sat up on the bed. I had a weird dream. I was in high school and my parents were still alive. I was walking through a hall, surrounded by friends, dressed nicely. My stomach was full and my eyes shone. The exact opposite of how it is now. I stood on the balls of my feet and walked towards the door. Before I opened it, I heard voices. One I could tell was Natsu's, the second was a female voice. I opened the door quietly, leaving it open just a crack. The girl had short, white hair. She laughed and Natsu grinned in return. She blushed and started to fidget in her seat on the couch. Maybe that's his girlfriend?

The white haired girl stood up and suddenly kissed him on the lips. Woah. Wasn't expecting that.

Natsu looked rather shocked, to the point where he just froze in place. The girl pulled away and gave him a slight smile. Natsu scratched his head and looked away, dumbfounded.

"Um...I have to go," she said before she grabbed her coat and turned to the door.

"Lisanna, wait!"

So I guess her name's Lisanna...Hm. I don't think I should be spying on them, especially not after what I just saw...But this is getting so interesting, I can't help it!

"I-I'm sorry," Natsu said.

'Lisanna' turned around and asked, "For what?" Her smile was forced.

"That...I don't-"
"Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter...I hope you still consider me your best friend. Forget about what I did just now. It never happened."

She immediately turned and left out the door. Well, that was...A lot like a scene from a soap opera. It was actually entertaining. Time to pretend like I never saw anything. I laid down on the bed again. Natsu walked into the room and sighed. The TV was still on, so I acted as if I was watching that the whole time. I was 'watching' a soap. How ironic.

"Hey, you feeling better?"
"Hm, yeah."
"Um..."
"You look like something's bothering you. What's up?" I asked.
"Er...Nothing, really," Natsu answered nonchalantly. He sat down on a chair near the bed and placed his head in the palm of his hand. He eyed me carefully.

"What?"
"Where are you from anyway? Why were you on the streets like that?"

I grimaced.

"None of your business," I muttered.
"Oh, come on. At least tell me your name."
"Fine. It's Lucy."
"Lucy? Lucy what?"
"Lucy Heartfillia."
"Woooow. So you're the daughter of the guy that owned that huge company, huh?"
"Yeah."
"So what happened?"
"I don't really wanna talk about it," I said quietly and turned away.
"Well, I'm here, if you ever want to," Natsu said and grinned at me.
"I don't understand you."
"Why?"
"You save a complete stranger, who could be dangerous for all you know, and you treat her as if she was your friend. I don't understand."
"What's there not to understand? I'm just being a good person." He gave me the most innocent and sweet smile that I had ever seen. Ever. It was kind of cute.

I couldn't help it. The corners of my mouth turned up for the first time in a while.

"You're kind of adorable, you know that?"
"Hm...I don't see how."

Natsu's eyebrows turned up in a questioning look.

"Hey, I don't now your last name, but you know mine. So tell me yours."
"Dragneel."
"Oh, cool name."
"Not really...By the way...Don't you have any friends or relatives?"
"No. All of my relatives are dead and I never really cared about making friends."
"Well, you made a new one right now."
"You can't just claim to be friends like that."
"And why not?"
"You just can't."
"Well, I saved you. And since we're friendly to each other we're friends!"
"No, it doesn't work that way. We're merely acquaintances. You're only the guy who offered me his home cause he's really nice."
"Fine, then. It'll take time, but you'll become my friend one day. You already are to me, but I'll make you see me as your friend, too."

I really don't get this person. He's too nice. How could he be so kind even if he'll get nothing in return?
