She was never really one for parties, but when her persistent best friend dragged her to one of those noisy night clubs, well Lucy really had no choice but to go.
And now standing in the middle of hot and sweaty bodies, grinding against each other, Lucy was missing her comfy pajamas and warm hot chocolate.
The blonde wasn't used to these kinds of surroundings. The four safe walls of her cozy little dorm seemed like heaven compared to this…this whatever you called it.
Firstly, the music was blaring so loud that Lucy knew she would be deaf. Secondly, the stench of alcohol made her feel uncomfortable since she rarely drank. And lastly, Lucy was just so darn uncomfortable. She was the quiet girl here at Fairy Tail University. Her GPA was stellar; students practically wished they could be her.
She didn't have many friends, but it never bothered Lucy. She liked quiet, safe, and secure environments.
And now she was here, and trying desperately to get out.
"Excuse me." Lucy said politely, gliding past the hot sweaty bodies and drunken college students.
She needed to find an exit now.
"Hey what's a sweet little thing like you doing here?" A completely drunk college guy asks, slurring his words and staring Lucy up and down. Feeling insecure under his gaze, she averts her eyes and pushes past him.
Wearing this skimpy dress was a really bad idea. Curse Levy and her persuasive nature.
After some more awkward encounters with drunken guys, almost getting a bottle of beer spilt all over herself, and looking away as couples made out intensely, Lucy finally stepped outside.
"Finally!" The blonde squeaks happily taking a sweet breath of fresh air. Cool air tingles her clammy skin, immediately causing her to relax and lean against the brick wall of the most famous nightclub in all of Fiore.
Checking her watch she notices that it's close to ten and that Levy won't be out for a few more hours.
She groans, knowing that she can't just abandon her friend in a nightclub at this hour.
But she really doesn't want to go back…
Her thoughts are interrupted when she feels a hand cover her mouth and her back being pulled against the rough brick. A tough spot rubs into her back causing her to wince in pain.
"Now, just be quiet and let's get this over with quickly." The random stranger mutters into her ear. She feels his hot intoxicated breath linger there before meeting up with her nose.
Drunk as heck.
The man pins her down, grabbing both of her hands so that they press beside her head. Her eyes turn wide as she notices his lips making contact with her neck. He acts like a hungry animal, nipping and biting harshly.
Lucy only screams as the events catch up with her. Squirming uncomfortably under his rough grip, she tries to free herself.
But, no one seems to hear, and when it seems she's going to be raped right then and there, the man topples over a crack rippling through the thick night air.
The man falls, obviously unconscious, and fresh blood trickles from his bruised nose.
Lucy only shudders, collapsing before warms hands grab her shoulders. Looking up she notices a pair of sharp emerald eyes staring into hers. Her eyes turn wide, fearing that this man will do the same thing to her. Her eyes are glossed with fresh tears, and her breathing is rapid from the apparent shock.
He notices and gives her a warm smile.
"I'm not going to hurt you, are you alright?" He asks, his voice gentle and comforting.
Lucy only nods her head, unable to trust her voice. She eyes the man suspiciously, still nervous as to believe his words. But, his warm glow and soft eyes cause the blonde to forget any ideas of him trying to use her body to his advantage. He just didn't seem like one of those guys.
"He didn't you know…" The guy trails, and I notice his pink hair flowing gently in the soft breeze.
Pink hair…weird that it looks attractive on him.
Still shaking and practically ready to collapse, Lucy inhales sharply and manages to stand up straight with the help of her unknown hero.
"Y-yes." The blonde manages to squeak out, a genuine smile playing on her pink lips.
He only nods, his posture relaxing as he realizes the situation isn't as bad as he had feared.
Looking down, Lucy notices that her knees have stopped shaking and she closes her eyes, leaning her head against the wall. She feels her cheeks flush in embarrassment. Here she was standing in front of a stranger who saved her from getting raped. She feels helpless and yet again completely grateful for her little hero.
Finally regaining her senses, she opens her eyes only to find the man missing from view. Panicking slightly, she turns her head and notices the empty streets.
Where did he go?
Stepping out onto the road she notices that there is no one in sight, only some papers tumbling across the road and the hollering voices from inside the crazy nightclub.
It's like the whole city is deserted and everyone's in their drinking their butts off.
Feeling kind of upset that her hero had run off she heads back into the club to find her best friend.
Determined to find the pink haired man and thank him.
'Cause that's proper right?
Besides how hard can it be?
Pink hair isn't hard to miss….
xXx
AN: Hello everyone! I bring to you a brand new story! Since I'm really not feeling "Friendzoned" (But don't worry I'm not giving up on it..I just need ideas XD) I've decided to start this one. It's set in college, Lucy's like 22 and Natsu's 23. I'm not going to give much of the plot away, but basically it's going to be a bit humourous, maybe inappropriate (; and obviously heated romannnnce! :D Hopefully this first chapter catches some of your interests.
Please leave reviews, they mean a lot and I'd love to hear all of your feedback! :DD
Until next chapter, toodles~
