Lucy POV

I hate Christmas. Everyone is so cheery and lovey-dovey with their significant other and it just reminds me how alone I am. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the people, or the idea of Christmas, its just that I get reminded about how all my friends are spoken for and how my dad doesn't want to see me. And it makes me feel sad and depressed. I don't like being sad and depressed, those emotions kill productivity and all that good stuff.

"Oooff" I let out air as a suddenly fell to the ground, pushed there by a pink haired man. He turned for a minute as he ran and yelled "Sorry Lady! Im in a hurry, or I'd help you."

I can hear myself grumbling about that rude, unhelpful, hot- "stop it brain. Don't think that way about someone you don't know." I pick myself up, dust off my rearend and continue walking to work. It's a long walk and I'm not even half way there. Looking down at my phone I realize I have five minutes to get to my building. "SHIT" I yell and start shoving my way through the crowd. Running as fast as I can. Tomorrow is Christmas and there are a couple things I need to finish at the office before my boss kicks me out for the holidays. Erza is actually very nice, when she isn't mad...

*TIMESKIP-NEW YEARS*I lived through Christmas. It was kinda tough being all alone, but I made it. Work starts back up day after tomorrow, and I can't wait. I love my job. It's about the only thing I love. I always tell my friends Levy, Juvia, Mira, and Erza that I love them but it feels more routine than actual love. As I sit at the bar listening to the extremely loud music and looking for someone to dance with, I see familiar pink hair. It's the dude who knocked me over a week and a half ago. "He's even hotter than I remember. Stop it brain. Stop thinking about him, or his gorgeous eyes, or his abs that he's probaprobably hiding under that shirt... oh.. well, if I'm gonna think about him I may as well enjoy the view" I notice that he's awkwardly moving across the dance floor and struggling to avoid drunk girls as he goes. Laughing at his efforts, I order another drink. He's hair looks neon in this lighting. I check the time. 11:56. Four minutes until kissy time. Random Person I don't know finally made it to the bar. He sits next to me. I may faint. He's GORGEOUS. Rosy pink hair, dark dark green eyes, evenly tanned skin, tattoos peeking out from under his black, untucked shirt, large calloused hands. Oooh. Me likey. Me likey a lot. He even smells good. He smells like pine trees and smoke. Not that nasty cigarette smoke, but wood smoke. And I'm staring. I realize I was staring at him when I focus on his face again and see him staring back, with a smirk on his lips. It is a very nice smirk. The kind that makes girls want to jump him. "Hey there. Whatcha staring at?" He says with out breaking eye contact. "Umm... nothing. Just staring off into space." I fumble for words cause, man, even his voice is sexy. "Im not sure I believe you. Can I buy you a drink Miss..?" He drags the last word out like a question. "Lucy. My name's Lucy. And yes you can Mister..?" I repeat what he did.

"Natsu. My name is Natsu"

"Natsu. What a nice name. Now I know what I'm doing later. Or rather, who I'm doing later"Hello my prettys. This is kind of last minute random thing that I threw together because I could. I don't know how I feel about it. Please let me know what you think...No hate.~abi92001
