Chapter 1 part 1

Theme: Jealousy

Lucy

Lucy sat on the train watching the scenery pass by. Swirls of green and brown from the large trees full of leaves that just weren't ready to change for autumn yet. In the distance, passed the trees, was a vast ocean that sparkled under the sunlight. Rays of sea green and gold mixed together into a beautiful combination.

The perfect sunset, she thought to herself until she felt something warm land on her shoulder, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to see Natsu's pale green face, leaning against her. He had his eyes shut tightly in hopes of getting some sleep. So far he hadn't managed it.

He knew that Lucy hated to have her personal space invaded but at the moment he couldn't help it. He just hoped that for now she would go easy on him. Her scent helped to ease the dragon slayers sickness just slightly. She gazed at the sick dragon slayer and felt sorry for him. She couldn't imagine how she would be if any type of transportation did that to her.

A soft smile graced her features as she turned back to continue looking out the window. The scenery changed now as the trees were gone, no longer able to block her view of the beautiful sandy beach. Lucy couldn't help but yearn for it.

She wanted to feel the sand between her toes, the soft waves laping against her skin to cool her off and help her escape from this heat. She could practically smell the salt water. They were currently sitting in the row of seats instead of the usual compartment they traveled in because her partner just had to arrive right before the train departed.

Thus making them the last ones on the train to where all the compartments were full. The scenery changed once more as she saw their destination forming in the distance. She already missed the amazing view of the ocean and its calming effect. She sighed as she turned back to face her partner knowing that the peace and quiet would soon be gone.

The train started to slow as they approached town. The instant the train stopped Natsu bolted up as if he was never sick from the start. He was so anxious to get off the train that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going as he moved to get out of their row of seats. Not noticing the on rush of others trying to get off just like him he managed to bump into something and when he glanced down to see what it was he noticed that it was actually someone.

There on the ground was a girl of about 18 with brown wavy hair pulled back into a pony tail, her brown eyes glanced up at Natsu with aggravation shown in them. She stood up about to say something when her expression suddenly changed. Her face became red as Lucy wondered if that was due to embarrassment or something else. She didn't have to wait long for her answer.

"Opps sorry," Natsu said as he quickly turned back around, ready to get off this hell ride.

"Oh no need to apologize sir," she said sticking her chest out a little in hopes that he would notice but Lucy knew better. Lucy was a minimum of a whole cup size larger than her and Natsu wouldn't even notice her so there was no way he would suddenly change for this stranger.

Natsu shrugged his shoulders and once more went to leave off the train when this girl grabbed onto his arm and leaned it into her chest.

"Can I atleast get your name?" she asked trying to be seductive. Lucy's eyes started to twitch as she felt her blood boil. Who does this girl think she is coming on to Natsu like that, she thought.

"Hm, oh it's Natsu,"

"I love your name, summer. It's hot just like you," the girl stated as she let her eyes roam over the body of the said boy.

"Um, thanks? But," Natsu returned not sure what to make of everything this girl is saying. Lucy couldn't help but chuckle to herself about how lame that line was.

"I am the fire dragon slayer so it's natural that my body temperature is higher than normal." Natsu informed totally missing her point. This girl wore clothing similar to Lucy's style but didn't fill it the way Lucy did.

"You must really be strong," the brunette exclaimed as she rested her hand on his chest letting herself feel the muscles that lay there. Natsu glanced down at the contact she was making then looked back up at her with a funny look on his face. It was hard to tell just what he was thinking.

"Of course I'm strong. I'm from Fairy Tail and all Fairy Tail mages are," Natsu stated in a voice full of pride for his guild. Lucy just smiled and was silently cheering at the dense Natsu who seemed to just shut down every comment that this girl made.

"Oh your from Fairy tail? Maybe later you could come over and show me some of your moves tonight," she said with a wink. Now Lucy felt as if she was about to burst. She stormed forward and yanked the girl off her confused partner.

This girl had taken it too far. Said girl winced at the amount of pressure Lucy used when she grabbed her arm, knowing that it was going to bruise later.

"Excuse US. WE need to leave before the train departs once more," Lucy said putting emphasis on the we and us. She turned Natsu around and pushed him off the train and onto the platform, smirking the whole way.

Chapter 1 part 2

Theme: Jealousy

Natsu

Natsu and Lucy just arrived outside the requesters home. She made her way up the stone pathway with Natsu following behind. She stood on the porch but before she even had a chance to knock, the door swung open. There stood a young man, no older than 19 with jet black hair that spiked in all directions before his bangs laid down partially blocking his deep hazel eyes. His build was similar to Natsu's yet he was just slightly taller. The mans eyes danced their way over Lucy's figure, taking in all her curves as a smirk crossed his lips.

Natsu stepped forward, a scowl visible on his features but Lucy failed to notice, being too busy gazing at the handsome man in front of her.

"May I help you fair maiden?" the man asked and Lucy was momentarily reminded of her lion spirit but ignored it as his eyes made contact with hers. Lucy couldn't even muster words together to answer the man leaving Natsu to do the task.

"We are here about the request sent to Fairy Tail," Natsu explained as a growl escaped his lips.

"Oh right, just this way please," the man said moving to the side allowing the two to pass. He lead them through the hall and into a living room on the right side of the house. It consisted of dark wood furniture with a dark brown couch that looked worn yet comfy.

This guy was clearly an artist with paint and paint brushes scattered everywhere. In the corner of the room stood an easil with a half finished painting sitting on it as others laid around it. Now that Lucy was finally able to tear her eyes away from the mans face, she let them roam down and noticed his black t-shirt and dark blue jeans, both with streaks, spots and smears of paint in all different shades and colors.

The walls were colorful yet masculine at the same time. The whole place had a modern yet artistic feel to it.

"Thank you for coming, my name is Takumi Masahito. And yours..." he trailed off as he waited for them to reply. His eyes never shifted off of Lucy as hers did the same in return.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia," she said. Takumi then glanced towards Natsu who said nothing to answer the mans question. Natsu just sat there with a look of boredom etched on his face. He did this to hide the anger he felt inside at the way his teammate and this man have been acting.

He hated the way this guy looked at his best friend like she was some kind of peice of meat. It just angered him to no end. He wasn't even sure why. Natsu felt a painful jab to his ribs as he glanced over and saw Lucy glaring at him.

"Say you name idiot," she whispered as he looked at her confused.

"Natsu Dragneel," he spit out not looking over at the man that sat across from them. Takumi then decided it was time to explain the mission to them as his eyes stayed put on Lucy. It was like he had completely forgotten about Natsu being there. The man finally finished briefing them and Natsu felt better now that they would be able to leave this mans presence.

Natsu, not being able to wait to leave, quickly ran out of the room not realizing that he had left Lucy and Takumi all by themselves. Lucy just sighed as she followed Natsu out and onto the front porch. He stood at the bottom of the steps looking away from the house.

"Lucy, I can not wait for your return and maybe once you come back you can do me the honor of allowing me to take you on a date," Takumi said as he lightly brushed a kiss onto her hand. Lucy's face burned red and she was about to answer the man when she felt an arm wrap around her waist protectively. The arm pulled her into the chest of none other than her best friend and partner.

"Back off," Natsu warned glaring at the man in front of him. Natsu then turned around dragging a cherry red Lucy with him by the waist as a smile formed across his face.
