Lucy angrily stormed out of the guild hall. Why did Natsu have to be so childish all the time? Lucy thought back to how he embarrassed her and ruined years of work in front of everyone in the guild hall.

It was a regular rowdy day at fairy tail and Lucy was sitting at the bar chatting with her good friend Levy.

"Anyways Levy, I'm almost done with my novel. You didn't have to take it. I was going to give it to you as soon as I finished the last chapter." Lucy laughed taking a sip of the drink Mirajane placed in front of her.

Levy smiled at her friend. "I'm so happy for you Luce. You've been working on that book forever and a day." Levy took a sip of her pop. "But I didn't take the book. I've been waiting patiently."

Lucy was visibly shocked. She placed her drink back down on the counter. "Well if you don't have it… who does? I know I didn't misplace it. I always keep it right on my desk."

"Sorry to interject in your conversation ladies, but I think I know where your book is Lucy." Mirajane said cheerfully while cleaning out a glass. "Natsu is over there reading it out loud. It's attracted quite the crowd. I thought you knew." She smiled sweetly.

Lucy quickly got up and stormed over to Natsu where low and behold, he was doing exactly what Mira said he was.

"Natsu what the hell do you think you're doing?! What made you think it was okay to steal my book!" Lucy fumed growing angrier by the second.

Natsu smiled widely. "Chill out Luce. We were just reading your crappy book. No big deal!" Natsu said while waving the book in the air.

"It's not crappy, now give it back!" Lucy got on her toes and tried to snatch it from him. Natsu quickly moved the book up higher so she couldn't reach.

"Where are your manors Luce? I didn't even get to finish it."

This only angered Lucy further causing her to wrestle him for the book. Natsu ended up getting a little too fired up over the miniature fight and spontaneously combusted, causing Lucy's book to burn with him.

"NOOOO! What have you done Natsu!?" Lucy looked horrified at the remains of her treasured book. She had worked so hard, for nothing. Lucy began to shake with rage.

"Calm down luce, it's just a stupid book." Natsu nonchalantly shrugged.

"IT WASN'T JUST A STUPID BOOK TO ME! I WORKED REALLY HARD ON IT NATSU AND YOU RUINED IT!" Lucy screamed, starting to tear up.

Natsu felt bad. He really didn't do it on purpose. He knew the book was important but he didn't think it was THAT important. "Come on Luce. Don't cry" Natsu pulled Lucy into a hug trying to comfort her. However, for the second time that day, Natsu burst into flames. Natsu quickly cooled himself down before hurting Lucy. However, the flames burned off all of Lucy's clothes.

Lucy screamed in horror. Her guild mates have seen her nude far too many times for her liking. Mirajane quickly ran over with a towel covering Lucy.

"Natsu what the hell is wrong with you!" Lucy yelled embarrassed while clutching the towel to her chest. "As if burning my prized possession wasn't enough!"

"Geeze Luce I-"

"NO! Don't touch me." Lucy pushed passed Natsu, her fellow guild mates letting her past assuming she just needed to cool off.

Lucy continued to stomp home in nothing but a towel. She couldn't believe how bad her day turned out to be. She wanted nothing more than to go home, change, and forget all this happened.

Back at the guild hall, Natsu was dealing with the aftermath of what just happened. Levy angrily walked up to Natsu.

"Why would you do that Natsu? What possessed you to steal Lucy's book!" Levy angrily put her hands on her hips.

Mirajane sighed. "Burning it wasn't very nice either."

"Yeah way to go flame breath" Gray added in his 2 cents.

"YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME ICE PICK?!"

"BRING IT PYRO!"

"CUT IT OUT YOU TWO!" Erza hit the two arguing boys on the head. "Now Natsu, explain to us exactly what the hell you were thinking."

"I don't know." Natsu said scratching the back of his head. "I just thought it would get her attention. I didn't expect things to end this badly,"

"Then… why'd you set the book on fire." Levy questioned.

"It wasn't on purpose. When Lucy got really close to me, my body started heating up. Next thing I knew I was on fire. The same thing happened when I tried to hug her. That's never happened when I hugged Luce before though." Natsu sat down on a stool truly confused.

"Did I hear what I think I just did?" Mira interjected into the conversation. "You take Lucy's book just to get some attention from her, and now all of a sudden you can't control your magic when in close contact of her." Mira rationalized.

"Yes but what's it all mean" Natsu said; the only person still confused.

Mirajane giggled sweetly. "You like her silly."

Natsu stood from his chair; shocked with the new information. "I like Lucy? I… Like… Lucy. It all makes sense! I'M ALL FIRED UP!" Natsu jumped up excitedly

"About time you figured that out flame breath." Gray insulted

"YOU WANNA GO ICE FACE?!"

Erza cleared her throat immediately stopping the emerging fight. "So what do you plan to do about this Natsu."

Natsu stood up and smiled "I'm gonna stare at her more!" He smiled proudly at his idea.

"No you idiot!" Levy scolded. "You need to go apologize to her and tell her the truth. I have a feeling she likes you two."

"Hmmm" Natsu considered. "Okay! I'll do that then!" Natsu quickly left the guild determined to talk to Lucy. He didn't know what he was going to say but he would figure it out when he got there.

AU: Not very long I know but I promise the next chapters will be. Review and tell me what you think!
