Chapter 1: Realization
Third Person's PoV
Lucy Ashley is currently writing about her another perfectly ruined day at her journal...
Wednesday, 9:30 pm
Aaaaaarrgggghhhh!It's the third consecutive perfectly ruined day in my life! That Fireball is talking to me and asking questions about our next job when I actually said "I do". Can you believe it?! I Do! I mean, what the heck did I just said? He replied ," You do...what?" in a very questioned look making me blush. Because of that...I always ask myself, "Am i in some sort of a wedding ceremony to reply 'I do'?"
I also had this very uneasy feeling since that day...
~FLASHBACK~ (not included in Lucy Ashley's Journal,just a flashback)
"Give it back,punk!"Lucy yelled at the leader of some gang in have been making ruckus around the kingdom,so King Jellal requested Fairy Tail to give the gang some thrashing.
"so Miss,are you planning to fight us alone?" The leader of the gang said
"What are you talking about? I'm not alone. I have Natsu with me."Lucy replied
"So Natsu's his name ,huh? That Natsu with you is nothing more than a at him,he's trembling with fear. " the leader pointed at Natsu Dragion.
Natsu Dragion just stood in the corner not wanting to fight. His wheels was very far from them since they left them outside before they go to this warehouse.
"You think so? Come here,Fireball. Let's teach this guys a lesson" Lucy called but Natsu remained on the moving,as if afraid that if he does he'll be beaten by those guys.
" B-but I-I dont think i c-can fight them as g-good as you,L-Lucy" Natsu replied
"Idiot! Dont show them your weakness!"Lucy said as she glared angrily at Natsu who was now trembling with fear on Lucy.
"G-gomen,Lucy-chan" he said nearly tearing up
"Miss Lucy,you made your comrade 're such a bad girl,bad. You even call him your comrade even when you are always making him cry." The leader said mockingly
"B-but-" lucy said but interrupted by the leader
"No more buts, you made him cry. Maybe you could've beaten him if we weren't here" the leader said as if feeling sorry for natsu
"I-Its not true I-"
"I didnt mean it"
"beating him like that..."
"Yelling at him"
"But is it truly me? I may beat him sometimes...no,everyday but I still see him as my nakama.I didnt even thought that one day,he may be angry with ,it truly is me that he can consider as his enemy"
Those very words linger on Lucy Ashley's mind. Tears fell from her cheeks. Knowing that maybe Natsu will be angry at her by beating and yelling at him everyday.
Natsu stared at Lucy 's his very first time to see her cry. On his mind, he thought that nothing could make the very sadist and cruel girl cry. The leader and his comrades are obviously making fun of her as she slowly fall and crouched on her her ...
Natsu may be a coward but his mind is now working fast. He dont know what he's feeling by Lucy cry,but its as if his mind turned autopilot. He attacked the gang. Punching,kicking,part of him knew that he's just a scaredy cat,not strong and obviously has no chance in winning but all he think of is, couldn't stand someone making Lucy cry,even if those guys are far more dangerous than Lucy,herself. He's fighting neck-to-neck with the leader. He didnt know where this mysterious force from him came from but he is thanking it,for this unknown strength is the strength keeping him alive from the gang.
"So, you're not that coward anymore,eh?" the leader said. I just grinned and attacked him,making him fall on his feet. Natsu took a quick glance on Lucy,staring at him with disbelief that this boy can also fight,too. ...
But something's wrong,a member of the gang sneaked on Lucy's back,holding a metal club that he ought to knock Lucy unconscious. " Lucy!at your back!" Natsu yelled. Lucy turned to see what's at her back when the member aimed the club at her. She just moving even an inch,her face,panic-stricken.
Then, a thought came to Natsu's 's not going to dodge,Even if she will,she'll not be able to survive.
So,Natsu immediately turned his back from the enemy and ran to save her. "kill her!" natsu heard the leader's command to the member. He ran as fast as he can , holding his breath.
The man swayed the metal club and attacked Lucy...but it's too late. Too late for the man, for Natsu held Lucy ,bridal-style as he saved her. Lucy, still staring at him , questioned mouthed the words "how". Natsu grinned as Lucy pushed her back. "Stop grinning! As if I told you to save me" Lucy said as she stomped her feet.
"But we defeated the gang" Natsu said
"I could've defeated them myself" Lucy said grumpily as he turned his back from Natsu,walking outside. She just cant face Natsu with the blush on her face getting redder.
"Wait,Lucy-chan" He called as he walked next to me
"Arigato" Lucy muttered
~END OF FLASHBACK~
