Dear Lucy,
When I'm with you, I never realize how you seem to drain my world of color, that's not a bad thing, though. It's like a world of just Natsu and Lucy.Everything you do is so intoxicating to me, whether it's your stupid smile, or you being heavy when I give you piggy back rides, or whenever we have sleepovers you like to scribble on my face when I'm sleeping, gosh those days will never leave my mind for one moment. It is hard these days, though, isn't it? I mean with your troubles and struggles? Sometimes they happen because life is messy, and mistakes abound. At times, we return to relive those moments. I always tell myself that I could never relate to another's problems and emotions, but with you, I take that back. My dad left, yours is a jackass, your mother passed, and I don't even know my real mom, but hey at least I have someone. We learn that our present becomes obsolete quickly. What is now timely slips away, and disappears as quickly as the morning dew. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like we are in high school when I'm around you. Lucy, everyone knows that I'm a damn clueless idiot, but not when around you.
We only knew each other through Ice Prick at first, Then Levy and Gajeel came and they became really close with us. We knew each other just enough to smile at each other and wave 'Hello' in the corridors, then came the performance. We hung out and got to know each other, and I'm not sure if that night was when it happened, but by the next time I saw her, I knew that I could call her, a new friend, and that's you, Lucy. You stuck by my side the whole time, even when people would mock you and make fun of you. But I wouldn't blame them. I am a short clueless idiot, with pink hair, who wears a scarf every day, and I'm just weird. I love you so much, and me being clueless, just realized that. I want you to be with me and stick by my side and be something more. Something more together. I…love you Lucy…
Natsu turned his head as he closed his yearbook. On his right wall were pictures of Lucy and him plastered everywhere. He made sure they were stuck there like glue; why would he want to even take them off?
He gently moved his hand over each and one of them.
These pictures are just conduits to his best memories, the ones that are not fantastic enough or traumatic enough to leave a permanent mark on their own. It was in those quieter moments of joy that Natsu saw the people beneath their troubles. He saw his mother's love and his father's as well, but he was gone. He needs those memories to stay with him, he needs them to soothe him when the bad ones threaten to erase all traces of those people he still holds dear, even in their absence. They are the evidence of the beautiful souls that belong even to those who made the worst mistakes. And who is he to judge? Enough stress can change the best of us, even him.
He sighed as he rubbed his temples.
"Talk about obsessed…" a voice behind him said.
"Zeref, don't you have something better to do? Go away."
"Just came to see if my big bro is still obsessing over the blonde chick, what's her name, Luigi?"
"No, and no, it's Lucy, go away" Natsu deadpanned.
"Whatever, everyone knows about your obsession."
"You have 5 seconds to get the hell out of my room."
"Whatcha gonna do?! You're older and yet I'm still hella taller than you smart one."
"I'll take you on any day and still beat ya!"
"Well, if you have time, that party started a while ago and I'm pretty sure you better hurry up and go confess already, I'm not feeding Happy tonight so yeah."
Zeref gave a big smile as he walked out of Natsu's room.
"Dumbass…" Natsu mumbled.
Natsu slowly walked to the mirror on the back of his door and studied himself.
His pink hair was spiked up naturally and his scarf hugged his neck securely. He pulled up his black jeans and pulled down his plain white T.
Natsu grabbed his yearbook firmly before running downstairs to see his step mom waiting for him on the couch.
Natsu could feel his legs on fire and the strong urge for his arms to move. There are beads on the counter. He strongly just wants to flick them. The fire in his legs is building like the energy in a compressed spring. His hands are twitching. Eyes blinking.
"Hey, mom."
"Hey, sweetie!"
"What's up Hun?"
Natsu gawked at her before looking up.
"…The ceiling?"
"How is she your friend…" his mom sighed.
"HEY!"
"Natsu relax everything will be fine! Go tell her, I'm pretty sure if your father was still here he would be proud, but of course, he would throw in one of those insults."
"Insults…?"
"Yea! You know…like, 'Nah Natsu is too clueless to even know what a girl is' or something like that, but right now I could see you changed and holy shit! Do you have to put on so much cologne!? God, you're smelling up the whole house, hurry up and get out of here already."
Natsu lets a chuckle escape as he tightly hugged her.
"I'll always think of you as a mom, and I know you'll never be bothered by me calling you just mom either…"
"Of course not, but I'm surprised you gave me a hug that's rare."
"Well duh, I only did it so you smell like cologne, anyways see ya" Natsu winked as he ran out the door before he could get yelled at.
He felt his phone inside his pocket vibrate.
New Text Message: Ice Princess
Natsu crushed his phone to his forehead.
"Why do I even have droopy eye's number again?" he sighed in annoyance. Even though he wasn't with him his presence seemed to buzz around Natsu like a fly that you can never swat.
Natsu quickly glanced at the time before opening the text.
"7:56…" Natsu muttered.
Ice Princess: Aye! Are You finally gonna confess? Hurry up it's getting like crowded and Lucy is looking everywhere for ya.
Natsu couldn't help put smirk as his fingers quickly replied back.
You: She's looking for me? : )
Natsu watched as the typing symbol went away and was replaced by a text.
Ice Princess: Nah, just wanted you to get happy for no reason, but aye seriously hurry up Dan and Loke are making moves : )
You: COMING!
With that, Natsu began running over to Lucy's. Her house wasn't that hard to miss, even if you were just driving by you would instantly notice a large mansion with over like…60 windows. It was bigger than the church that was a couple blocks down. But hey, her last name is "Heartfilia."
As soon as that last name is spoken or even heard you instantly know who they are, EVERYONE does, except for Natsu at the time, another reason why they became so close. He didn't treat her all nice for money or anything, instead, he called her weird and fat and annoying and they would always cap on each other and make insults. They were never bothered by it because none of them could take each other seriously.
They would always text and Natsu saved one of their conversations through text and printed it then put it on his wall because he will never let her forget what she told him.
Weirdo: Oh. My. Fukin. God. NATSU I JUST SAW YOU ON TV!
You: WTF?! What channel!? Do I look good?!
Weirdo: You're flaming hot! Check it out! Oh! Channel 58!
You: …I hate you…this is animal planet and it's showing a pink salamander.
Weirdo: EXACTLY :D
You: ITS BECAUSE MY HAIR HUH?!
Weirdo: Yup : )
Natsu smiled and before he knew it he found himself standing in the front of her house. As he opened it, it was just what he imagined so he sighed ignoring it.
"Hey look! It's pinky!"
"Haha! He come to do it with Lucy yet!? She and that Jackal guy have been close now huh!?"
"If I were her I would definitely never pick someone shorter than me with pink hair."
Natsu could barely hear them, though. The music was so loud that it made his skin tingle and his lungs feel like mush. The bass thumped in time with his heartbeat as though they were one, filling him from head to toe with music. Natsu instantly recognized the songs playing and he glanced over to the iPhone plugged into the speaker with YouTube on.
"Yup. Trap Nation…never will get old to me" he told himself as he saw the logo of them burst with colors as white dots would move forward to the beat and speed of the song.
Over the roar of music, a distant, hazy chatter could be heard. He couldn't make out any words, but laughter rang in his ears and wouldn't seem to stop. The song that was playing got louder, pulling him in and wouldn't let go. Natsu had no choice but to join the crowd, looking around and standing there awkwardly. He would even be glad to see Ice Freak right now.
However, he instantly regretted that as he heard his voice.
"Oi! Natsu she's in the garage go get her!" Gray screamed as he took a large swig of his beer.
"You think he will get her?" Juvia, Levy, AND Gajeel joined in.
"Shut the hell up please, like 5 seconds…hmmm? Thank you" Natsu irked as he stormed off towards the direction of the garage, his yearbook still safely tucked in his arms.
As he opened the door shyly, he gawked at the sight before him. It was like another second large party but in the garage.
"NATSU!" a voice screamed.
He looked up to see Lucy with her long side ponytail and of course in her belly shirts and extremely short shorts. She waved an arm in the air. Natsu sheepishly smiled as people started to notice.
Lucy hugged Natsu as tight as she could, sending waves of warmth through him. He moved his hands down her sides until he met with her waist, which he firmly hugged and pressed against his own.
"Come On! Come on!" she excitedly said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him upstairs to her bedroom before quickly slamming the door shut and collapsing on her bed.
"Uhhh…Hey, Lucy?" Natsu gulped as he scratched his head nervously.
"Wait! I got you something! Here open it!"
Lucy grabbed something on the floor and handed Natsu a pink bag which he glared at her for because it was the same color as his hair.
"Look! This time, it wasn't because your hair actually!" Lucy reassured as she gestured for him to open it already.
Natsu sighed in annoyance before pulling out tissue paper and staring at something inside.
"A shirt…? Wow, thanks."
"Gosh so mean! What if I actually did just get you a shirt would you just act like that!? But you haven't even looked at it! LOOK AT IT!"
"Alright! Chill! Holy crap!" Natsu said as he quickly pulled out the shirt. His face paled as he looked what was on it.
"It's a picture of me and you! Try it on!" Lucy said in excitement.
"No way, in hell, am I ever going to wear this."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pleassseee?"
"No."
"Pleaseeee?"
"No.
"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"
"Noooooooooooooooooo" Natsu replied as he pinched her nose.
"PLEASE!"
"NO!"
"BUT I LOVE YOU PLEASE!?"
"OK GOSH!" Natsu said, hoping that she didn't see how bad he was blushing.
Natsu threw the shirt on over his grey one and pulled his scarf out.
"This is so embarrassing Luce…" Natsu groaned as he covered his face with his hands.
"I think it's pretty damn hot!" she cheered making him flustered all over.
Someone pounded on the door and both Natsu and Lucy looked to see who was there.
"Aye, Pyro! You find her!? Looks like you did!"
Natsu watched as Gray's face went from ugly to horrified.
"WHAT THE HELL IS ON YOUR SHIRT HAHAHA!" Gray screamed as he snapped a picture, and slammed the door shut.
"OH NO YOU DO−?"
"Just let him, he wouldn't show it to anyone but our friends I know Gray too much," Lucy said softly making Natsu fidget.
"Look, Luce I-?"
The door slammed open again.
"AYE LUCY! IM TAKING ONE OF YOUR CARS TO GO GET MORE BEER WE ALL OUT HONEY!" Loke cried as he held his yearbook in his hand before collapsing on Lucy's bed.
"Okay! If you crash, I won't feel bad!"
"Whatever" Loke hiccupped before getting up and slamming the door behind him.
"LOOK! LUCY! I WAN-?!"
And once again, the door opened.
"Lucy…it's me, Dan, I uh, wrote you a song and I wanted to uh sing it to you…"
Natsu rubbed his temples and glared at Dan with all the hatred he owned.
"Awww! Dan, you're so sweet, I'm listening!"
"Ok, here I go…"
"Lucyyy, I L-O-V-EEEE!" Dan stopped after he strummed his guitar.
Natsu's mouth was hanging open as he turned towards Lucy who was smiling until she locked eyes with Natsu.
'Are you kidding me' he mouthed to her.
'Shut up' she mouthed back.
"Look! Dan! This was very nice to hear, however! It's time for you to go!" Natsu cheered as he pushed him out the door and shut it.
"That wasn't nice!"
"Lucy, I want you to read what I wrote for you in my yearbook…"
"Okay!" she beamed.
As she flipped open to the page her eyes scanned around in a confused matter.
"Uh, where?"
"What do you mean where you weirdo! Right the-?"
The silence lay on his skin like a poison. It seeped into his blood and paralyzed his brain, he couldn't believe that he let this happen.
"Loke!" Natsu shouted in anger as he ran out of Lucy's room.
And there it happened.
This is where it all started.
Loke was reading everyone what Natsu has written and people were laughing their fucking heads off. His eyes scanned everyone's face in the crowd and there were only 4 people not laughing.
Gray.
Juvia.
Gajeel.
And Levy.
"HE REALLY THINKS HES GONNA GET OUT OF THE FRIEND ZONE! HAHA" someone screamed which was followed by roars of laughter.
"Damn it…" Natsu groaned as he stressfully ran his fingers through his hair and bolted outside.
He heard someone behind him.
"Natsu…? Is what you wrote true?" Lucy quietly muttered.
"No…Yes?" he squeaked.
Lucy let the clear beads finally drop from her eyes and Natsu was tackled with one of her deadly hugs.
"That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me! Of course, I love you! You're my best friend! I love you as a friend, your the best" she said as she tightened the hug.
"Your boobs…are going to kill me…" Natsu's muffled voice said.
"Good" Lucy smiled as she let go.
Natsu wasn't expecting any of this. It was a disaster and he was hurt.
"AYE LOOK! ITS PINKY! HAHA WHAT A LOSER!"
"Dibshit…"
"He's such a freak, what makes him think Lucy likes him…"
Natsu pulled at his hair in anger as the voices attacked him from every angle possible. Everything people were saying was going right in one ear and out the other, nonstop, nonstop.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT ANYMORE!" Natsu screamed causing Lucy to flinch with fright.
"Natsu…?" she whispered.
As soon as she reached out to him, he smacked her hand away.
"Please, Luce…Just stop please…"
And after that, Natsu took off. Ignoring the screams behind him.
"Loser!"
Or
"Dumbass"
Too many nicknames to even say.
"I'm done…screw this shit. I'll prove everyone wrong. Soon they'll be the ones being a loser or a dumbass."
I was inspired by the movie Just Friends.
I debated if I should upload this, or if I should wait until I finish my other fanfictions first but I'm impatient.
Hope you guys enjoyed, it will get better I promise.
I don't usually do fanfictions like these, by that I mean like lots of cussing and crap, but I was like hey let's give it a shot, so thanks for reading if you did, I won't update as much but probably every week or when I have free time. But its summer break now so of course I'm going to have free time!
Review if you could, tell me what you think.
