I do not own Fairy Tail or the characters in it. I hope you enjoy my first Chapter Story ^^

Lucy's POV

I walked down the stone path to my humble little home with little Plue by my side, the adorable creature he is.

I smiled at the thought and I looked up into the beautiful blue sky decorated with delicate splatters of white.

"Gee Plue, this day surely is beautiful huh? I hope the weather will stay that way for a while, I think I'll really need it after how much magic I used during that mission."

"Pun puun!"

I unlocked my door and walked inside, smelling the welcoming scent of home as I walked inside and plopped onto my bed. I cuddled close into my pillow and smiled softly to myself.

'I'm home.'

~ timeskip to night ~

*BANG BANG BANG*

"BLONDIE OPEN UP!"

My eyes darted open and I immediately got up from my bed. I blinked once and tried to register who was at my door and then I realized that it must be him considering how deep the voice is.

"SERIOUSLY OPEN UP!"

My legs started running on their own and immediately I opened the door to see him, Laxus Dreyar, all beaten up right in front of me. I motioned him inside and he went in, looking right and left before coming in. He nearly dragged himself onto my bed, panting heavily from the damage he took. I rushed by his side with a first aid kit and attended to his injuries.

"Laxus what on earth happened?"

'Something powerful too considering that it was able to do this much damage to Laxus. . .'

I looked at Laxus with worry and stared at him until he was able to catch his breath. He then looked at me and put his hands on my shoulders while I was still trying to bandage him. My eyes widened in shock and I felt some heat rushing to my face as our gazes were transfixed on each other.

"Lucy," he started.

'Okay he never calls me by my first name this is bad. . . .'

"Y-yeah?"

"I'm going to be living with you for about a month."

"WHAAAAAAT?! WHY?"

"Well to summarize it, I basically made a few enemies in the past while I was doing some jobs. Now a few of those enemies have grouped together to take me out, permanently."

I covered my mouth in shock and my heart sank a bit when I saw Laxus lower his head, in shame? I blinked and held the shoulder of my Fairy Tail guild mate and smiled, "So what's this have to do with staying at my home, Laxus?"

"Well, they threatened to exterminate me is one. I need somewhere to hide for a while and luckily I was able to lose them after they ambushed me; that pretty much explains why I'm here in this state. But they also added another threat which was to take out one of the guild members too, although they didn't really tell me who, I had a feeling it was you."

I blinked and stared at Laxus with a raised brow, "Me? Well what made you come to that?"

"Dragon slayers have good instincts, think about it. Don't you hang around with Natsu a majority of the time?"

"Well I guess that's true. All right then, I'll put my faith in you Laxus. Thank you."

I smiled at the Lighting Dragon Slayer but he scoffed and turned his head away.

"Yeah, of course."

Laxus's POV

"Me? Well what made you come to that?"

"Dragon slayers have good instincts, think about it. Don't you hang around with Natsu a majority of the time?"

I stared at Blondie as she pondered at the thought, I couldn't help but stare at her mesmerizing face. Those large chocolate brown eyes of hers, her lips and small face. She really does look like some kind of princess from old fairy tales {ba dum tsk}.

'I really hope she doesn't see through that lie. . . .'

"Well I guess that's true. All right then, I'll put my faith in you Laxus. Thank you."

Just one smile from her was enough to make me forget to say, "No problem." I literally just had to pretend to scoff and look away the moment I felt some heat on my cheeks, and Natsu wasn't here so I know that it was me and not his stupid fire. How could I be getting embarrassed over Blondie? Mirajane and Evergreen sure, and maybe even Erza but Blondie. . . .

"Uhm Laxus?"

"Hm?"

"Well I was wondering if you're hungry, I could make a quick sandwich for you or even get you something else lighter since it's late."

"Uhh, I think just some water is fine. Not really hungry."

"Okay, the cough is open by the way. Extra pillows, cushions and blankets are in that closet right there."

I arched a brow at the blonde, "And why would you have all this stuff ready?"

She stuck out her tongue and scratched the back of her head sheepishly and let out a cute giggle. Wait, cute?

"Well Natsu always crashes here randomly. There are days where I have to sleep on the couch since he is already so attached to my bed."

My jaws dropped! Natsu, in her bed, randomly?! HOW DOES HE GET IN?

"Oh and I don't know how he gets it. It just happens."

"Geez, now I have even more reason to think that you two are dating," I smirked at Blondie even though it left a pinch in my chest.

The girl laughed and shook her head when it started to die down.

"Naaw, I see Natsu as a close friend. Surprisingly, I don't have feelings for him despite all he did to me. To be honest, I'm surprised I didn't fall for him, it's like my heart is telling me that there is someone who is well, and don't laugh when I tell you."

She mugged me while pointing her index finger at me. I simply put my hands up, implying surrender. She let out a heavy sigh as she twiddled her fingers while blushing a bit. How cute. AGAIN WITH THE CUTE.

"Well it's like my heart is telling me that there is someone else that I am meant for and vice versa. I know it's dumb and Natsu may actually be the one for me in the end, but I just can't shake the feeling that he and I aren't meant to be together. Despite how it looks, it's not how it seems. Oh why am I telling you all this? You could care less about how I feel huh?"

Blondie let out a laugh as she made her way to the restroom and shut the door. I looked down and stared at one heck of a floor, admiring the cracks and strands that made up the carpet. Just kidding. . .

"I actually do care. . . "
