Hey! This is a new story that I'm trying out. A few days ago I was playing this Otome game C: And it inspired me!

Um by the way I'm the author of Hoping for Hope a GrayZa fanfiction, so check it out if you want!

Oh and this is Modern AU in normal life!


Chapter One:

He now lay in a bland hospital bed unsure of who he was. And she's home thinking that everything was going so well in her life. Everything was going to be perfect. But no, everything just had to go wrong.

It all started with that almost normal day. The sun was shining just as Lucy was leaving her cozy cottage that she shared with a certain hotheaded pink-haired male and an adorable blue cat. Mornings were the worst time in the day for her, her partner was a lazy ass that would not bother to wake up, even if the two had to attend college. Sure, Natsu attended community college and they weren't that strict on attendance records, but would it hurt just a little bit to wake up to send Lucy off? The blonde huffed in frustration, she knew she couldn't stay mad at her boyfriend.

Natsu Dragneel had woken up that morning, after being yelled at by Lucy, but had fallen asleep immediately afterwards. Happy the cat hadn't even bothered to leave the comfortable bed he shared with Lucy and Natsu. She turned around and fumbled with her keys before successfully locking the cottage's door. The blonde adjusted the straps of her bag, that was filled with books and essays, before continuing her long walk into town.

For some reason, Natsu had inherited an old cottage from his missing father, the fact that Natsu never even had thoughts about moving away warmed her heart, but why did the cottage have to be so damn far away from the town?!

The college that Lucy was attending was a bus ride away from the small city she lived in; Magnolia. She had never considered that living with her parter was going to be a troubling disadvantage to attending a well-known university.

But no matter how much she hated these walks in the morning, it was still worth being with Natsu. She loved him with all her heart. And she also appreciated him being her boyfriend so, so, much.

In high school, Lucy was already crushing on the pinkhead. Heck, she would've grabbed him and kissed him the moment she saw him, except she was the insecure bookworm she was back then. But somehow, she was dragged into one of his play fights with his friend, Gray, and eventually became his best friend, who was a girl.

The blonde rushed towards the bus station and quickly boarded the vehicle, not wanting to miss her ride. Sometimes, Natsu would drive her to college on his motorcycle, no matter how much she protested, and no matter how much she screamed that she would die. She enjoyed it, even if she'd practically fall down after getting off the motorcycle. Lucy was extremely afraid of accidents while riding on the motorbike, knowing that if something happened, it would be fatal. She was against him riding on it, but Natsu was always extremely cheerful while driving the motorcycle, and he said it was his guilty pleasure, that she could not bear to forbid him from riding it.

Lucy shuffled her feet, uncomfortable with the amount of people that were squeezing against her. The bus was packed, like it usually was every morning.


A few hours later, Lucy sat at a dining table in one of her favorite restaurants that had recently opened on the university's campus. The college that she went to had an extremely tacky name, University of Magnolia. But it was well known, so every time Lucy told someone about the college she went to, she said the name with a smile full of pride.

The people sitting next to her were all her close friends, Erza, Levy, Lisanna, Cana, Gray, and Laxus. Lucy still had plenty of other friends, but they were at other colleges. For example, Gajeel, Levy's beloved, was attending the same community college Natsu was at. Most of the blonde's friends were spread all around Fiore, chasing their dreams.

A voice shook her out of her thoughts, "So Lucy!" Gray chattered happily. "Isn't it Natsu's birthday soon?"

Gray knew all about Natsu, they were like best friends. Lucy didn't actually know what his relationship with Natsu was, but Natsu trusted him and that's all she needed to know.

"What are you gonna do for him?" Levy questioned her, looking up momentarily from her phone, Lucy guessed that she was texting Gajeel.

Lucy took a large bite from her hamburger, swallowed and grinned, "I was thinking we could gather up our friends from Fairy Academy and throw a surprise party."

"Wouldn't it just be better if you devoted your whole day to him?" Erza giggled, taking a huge slurp from her soda.

Laxus grunted quietly in agreement. Lucy knew that Laxus didn't enjoy talking, but his opinion meant a lot to her, since he rarely expressed his feelings.

"But Natsu adores all of you! His motto is that friends are family, after all!" The blonde argued.

"Well then we'll throw a surprise party and leave before dinner so you guys can have some alone time!" Lisanna said with a suggestive wink.

Heat surged up to Lucy's face, "O-Okay, sounds like a good plan!" She managed, blushing furiously, knowing exactly what Lisanna had meant by 'alone time'.


After classes had ended, it was already five at night. The sun was almost setting, casting a orangey pink glow on the ground. It was one of Lucy's favorite colors, considering it was so similar to Natsu's hair color, salmon. She chuckled to herself, recalling the first time she had met him. Natsu had been running late to his class.

The moment he burst in, Lucy had bluntly said, "Is your hair pink?!" She had never seen anyone's hair that looked like that!

He had grunted angrily, "It's salmon!" And the class had burst out laughing, causing Lucy to blush furiously, looking like a ripe tomato.

Vroom!

The noise was familiar to Lucy, she looked up slowly, and spotted her one and only, Natsu. He took off his helmet and got off his beloved motorcycle. The sun cast a glowing frame around him, making it look as if God had sent him down to her.

Lucy chuckled, rushing forward and circling her arms around his waist, clearly glad to see him.

"You didn't have to pick me up, Natsu!" She laughed, she was glad, despite her protests that he probably skipped class just to come to her university.

"Of course I had to, you're my lovely princess after all." He answered, hugging her back even tighter.

After a few more seconds, Natsu broke the hug and handed her a helmet. "C'mon, let's grab a bite at Fairy Tail."

Lucy clipped the helmet onto her head and grinned, Fairy Tail was a bar where Natsu and Lucy had had their first date, not to mention, Lisanna's sister, Mirajane, worked there, so they always received a discount.


They drove along the smoothly paved road, with Lucy's arms wrapped around Natsu's waist, and Natsu's scarf flapping in the wind. Her eyes were screwed shut, her heart was pounding hard. Although she felt protected with Natsu in front of her, she was still worried for their safety.

After a few minutes, the couple had arrived at their favorite bar. After securely locking up the motorcycle, Natsu led Lucy into the dimly lit restaurant named Fairy Tail. They were pointed to their seats by Makarov, the tiny bar owner. Natsu and Lucy quickly told Mirajane that they'd have their usual, the two came here so often that every worker here knew their favorites, and what they'd always order.

They quickly ate through their appetizers, while chatting excitedly about their day. Apparently Natsu had received a good mark on his recent paper, and Lucy was picked for an intern at a school, she was aiming to become a counselor.

They finished their dinner quickly, and exited the diner after paying the bill and saying goodbye to Mirajane.


The two were once again on Natsu's motorcycle, the wind was whipping their faces, making his voice distorted, but Lucy enjoyed chatting with him nonetheless.

"Will you marry me?" Natsu whispered, but the vehicle's speed was slowing down, so Lucy could hear him extremely clearly.

The pink-haired male was holding a black box made of a material like velvet.

I squealed silently, still hugging his waist.

"I know we're only twenty-one, but I've never met anyone like you, and I'm so glad I met someone like you, and I... I just love you so much! I-I.." He exclaimed.

"I understand! And my reply, is yes!" Lucy screamed, bursting with joy, a happy tear trickling down my cheek before it got whirled away by the wind.

The blonde didn't notice Natsu was controlling his motorcycle one-handedly as he struggled to hold the box with the ring inside until a car horn screeched, jolting her out of her happiness.

"Natsu! NATSU WE'RE IN THE WRONG LANE!" Lucy screamed.

"SHIT!" He yelled, the motorcycle was wobbling off the road, and onto the wrong side of the road, just as a truck was coming towards the two at full speed.

The shock hit her in a matter of milliseconds, Lucy felt pain in her back, her legs, she felt extreme pain everywhere, everywhere but her chest and head. She strongly suspected that Natsu had turned his back towards the truck and hugged her, trying to shield Lucy from the impact before it hit.

Then, it was just plain, black, darkness.
