I do not own Fairy Tail (You can't trust me with that kind of stuff because I'll just make it all about romance (-_-;)
3 AM. Lucy sat at her desk tapping her quill against her cheek as she thought about what to write. She had decided that she wanted to start a new novel since her last one didn't turn out as well as she had wished. The plot and wording was great but when she brought it down to get published, it didn't make the cut. The publisher was "only accepting experienced authors and not amateurs." His words exactly. The word "amateur" would echo in her head repeatedly every time she came up with a new plot, sticking to the back of her mind making her hate it more and more until she decides to trash the idea. Normally she would get right back to work with making a new novel after failing, but for some reason she was considering she should stop writing. It wasn't a definite thought, but just a whisper every now and then when she would put together all of her failures. Maybe it was just the words that man said piled onto her stress that caused these lingering thoughts. His words were like a punch in the gut at the time, which left a pit that would ache at the thought of failing again.
The celestial mage set her quill on top of her pile of blank papers and let out a deep sigh throwing her hands over her head stretching her arms in the process. The late nights finally starting to get to her made her drowsy as she stood up from her desk and turned out the light before kicking off her slippers and falling into her bed. She pulled the sheets over her and turned to her side. She had been staying up late like this for the past week, working hard on the novel which had later on failed to get published. She settled into the darkness and closed her eyes before she could let any tears run down her cheeks. She wasn't going to cry over something like this. Not this time.
"Luuuuuuce..."
She could hear the voice softly coming from behind her.
"Lucyyyy"
It was getting louder. Lucy moaned as sunlight started to pierce her eyelids. She rolled onto her back and pulled her blankets to her face trying to shield her eyes from the harsh rays but something prevented her from fully pulling it to her face. Her hands let go of the blanket and moved to her face trying. She rubbed her eyes and looked up to see a blurry face with pink hair hovering above her. She didn't even need to wait for her eyes to adjust to know it was Natsu.
"What Natsu...?" the blonde mumbled as her eyes settled onto his now clear face.
"You said you were gonna meet us at the guild this morning so we could pick a job." Natsu had a slight smile as he usually does as he stood upright and took a couple steps back from her bed. As Lucy sat up she noticed a certain blue exceed in her lap. She could have sworn she locked the doors but sighed when she felt a breeze come through her now open window.
"Sorry, I guess I overslept," Lucy yawned standing up from her bed and heading towards her closet. "I'll walk with you back to the guild, just give me a minute to wake up."
Natsu nodded in response and sat on her bed. She skimmed through her closet grabbing a new outfit and went into the bathroom to freshen up. She felt half dead trying to wash her face and brush her teeth but managed to put on her usual cheery attitude as she exited the bathroom.
"Alright, let's go!"
Later on while at the guild
"Wait, are you sure you don't have writer's block or something?" Levy questioned. Lucy had sat down with her so she could possibly find advice from the bookworm. After giving a brief description of her situation, Levy got to thinking.
"No, I just don't know what to write about." Lucy answered firmly as she bit her cheek. She glanced the other way towards where Natsu was now picking a fight with Gray but quickly evaded when he glanced back.
"Well, I'm more of a reader rather than a writer but a lot of authors I read tend to write about their own life." Levy suggested recapturing Lucy's attention.
"You mean like an autobiography?" Lucy didn't like the idea of writing about herself considering there were many things she'd rather not publicly announce through a book.
"No, more like, you write about the interesting things that have happened since you've joined Fairy Tail and use people in your life as characters in the story. There are plenty of good characters in the guild and you've been on many jobs that you can definitely write about!" Levy chimed with her idea. Lucy let the thought sink in. She figured as long as she didn't write anything bad about her guildmates, if they read it they wouldn't be mad at her and many interesting things have happened.
"I guess it can't hurt to try." Lucy hesitated. It was a good idea, great even, but she couldn't help but worry over the what ifs.
What did you think of the first chapter? I know it doesn't seem like much Nalu going on right now but it's definitely coming. This is my first time writing a Nalu fanfic and IM SO PUMPED! Chapter 2 is coming out soon (probably tomorrow) (~_~;) I need Pocky...
