Love Story - Taylor Swift
Disclaimer: Song by Taylor Swift, Anime and Manga by Hiro Mashima
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
Lucy was currently, with her beautiful pink gown, talking to her best
friend, Levy while drinking her juice
It was a party prepared for Lucy. It was her 21st birthday. Everybody
was dancing, chatting and talking. This birthday party was arranged by
her father. He invited all his friends and family to attend the party.
"Ehermm... Would you like to dance?" Levy and Lucy both looked to the
source of the voice and saw Gajeel leaning his hand for Levy to grab.
Levy couldn't help but giggle and blush in the same time.
"Go on Levy..." Lucy whispered with a smirk
Levy hold Gajeel's hand and they walked away from Lucy
Levy turned back and mouthed 'Sorry'
Lucy smiled and replied mouthing 'It's okay'
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say "Hello", little did I know
Lucy then caught something pink walking through all of the guests in
the dance floor making it's way towards her
She realized that it was someone, not something. He grinned at her and
all Lucy did was stare at his PINK hair!
He frowned "Staring at people's hair isn't polite, you know..." He said
Lucy shook her head "Oh yeah, sorry about that..." Lucy apologized
quickly with a blush, embarrassed that she stared at a stranger's hair
"Hi, name's Natsu Dragneel... Would you like to dance?" He asked,
leaning his right hand while the other is on his back.
"Sure... I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia" Lucy replied taking his hand
"So you're the birthday girl. Happy birthday, Lucy..." Natsu said as
they dance all the way to the middle of the dance floor
"Thank you..." Lucy said with a small blush
"I'm really sorry for being rude but... Is your hair dyed?" Lucy asked
in a sudden
"No... It's natural..." Natsu said
"It's weird for a boy's hair color... Pink!" Lucy said teasing him
"Hey! It's salmon...! And I was born this way, so deal with it..."
Natsu exclaimed with red cheeks from embarrassment.
Lucy giggled "But it looks good on you..." Closing her eyes, enjoying
the music while they continued to dance
Natsu smiled "Thanks, Luce..."
Lucy opened her eyelids and stared at Natsu's eyes "Nice nickname you
got for me... I like it..."
"Really? I gave a nickname to a friend before but he didn't like it...
I called him 'Ice Princess'"
Lucy laughed "How can someone like a nickname if he feel offended by
it?!" Lucy said between laughs
"Nah! He called me Ash Brain... So, we're practically in the same level..."
Lucy smiled, she felt fun and safe with Natsu even though they just
met and talked. Lucy stared at Natsu, he was wearing a black suit with
a black tie. He actually looked kind of handsome for Lucy.
After they finished dancing, they went to the garden, Natsu and Lucy
were now sitting on the bench in Lucy's garden
"Mind to tell me how you came here?" Lucy asked, placing her head on
Natsu's shoulder
"What do you mean?" Natsu asked raising an eyebrow
"I mean those who came to this party are either family or friends...
And who asked you to come?" Lucy explained looking at Natsu's onyx
eyes with her brown orbs
"Levy invited me here..."
"Levy? How come she never told me she was inviting a friend?" Lucy
asked tilting her head
"A friend? She invited all of my friends!" Natsu said
"What?"
"Would you like to meet them?" Natsu asked standing up, grinning at Lucy
"Okay..." Lucy replied standing up and following Natsu into the mansion again
"Will they like me?" Lucy asked looking down
"I bet they'll hate you for being a weirdo..." Natsu teased her as he smirked
"Natsu! I'm not a weirdo!" Lucy pouted
"I'm just kidding. They'll love you. Come on!" Natsu said grabbing her
wrist running to a group of people
That's when Lucy met all Natsu's friends. Erza, Gray, Gajeel, Mira,
Lisanna, Elfman, Wendy and many others. They spent the night chatting
and laughing with each other. The night was wonderful. Lucy could say
that she had a really great birthday.
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
It's been a week since Lucy's birthday and she hasn't seen Natsu since
then. But Lucy hasn't really lost contact with him, she called him and
chat with him in either e-mail or messenger.
She is now sitting in her studying table, with an opened novel
Lucy sighed. She didn't know why but she really really wants to see
Natsu and spend time with him. So she took her cell phone and dialed
his number
"Hello?"
"Oh hey Natsu... I was wondering i-if..." Lucy was now playing with
his left hand fingers
"What is it Luce...?"
Ahhh... When he said her name she could feel her heart skipped a beat
"If you could visit h-here sometimes..."
There was silence and Lucy thought that he wouldn't want to come which
made her sad
"Cool... I'll be there... When?"
Lucy's face lit up "Tomorrow!"
"O-Okay... I've gotta go Luce, got work to do..."
And Natsu hung up. Lucy knew that he worked at Fairy Tail Cafe as a
waiter. She wanted to visit there sometimes. Lucy thought what would
Natsu look like on a uniform, of course he would still be handsome.
'WAIT! LUCY GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!' Lucy thought she sighed again and
smiled like a crazy person
Lucy squealed and jumped to her bed.
"I can't believe Natsu's coming tomorrow...!"
The next morning, Lucy came down running to the dining room with a
cheerful attitude. She ate her breakfast happily and when the door
bell rang. She ran and told the maid that she'll take it.
When she opened the door. She saw his face grinning at her. He was
wearing a white shirt and a black jacket with jeans. Lucy could only
blush.
"Morning, Luce..." He said, smiling at her
"M-Morning, Natsu... C-Come in..." Lucy said, her heart was pounding
faster and faster.
Natsu walked in and Lucy closed the door.
"So... Why'd you ask me to come?" Natsu asked suddenly
Lucy turned and faced Natsu with red cheeks "I-I just thought I would
spend time with you..."
"Well, okay..." Natsu said scratching his head with a light blush
They walked to the living room and sat on the white couch. The living
room was decorated with white wallpaper with some family pictures
"Hey... Can I visit Fairy Tail Cafe sometimes?" Lucy asked
"You want to?"
Lucy nodded "Well, you will love it there! All of us are like family!
Even Levy works there..."
Lucy giggled at how Natsu describe it cheerfully "I know Levy works
there... But I've never been there before..." Lucy said
"Why don't I take you there sometimes?" Natsu asked grinning at her
Lucy's smile brightened "I would love too!" She said grabbing both of
his hands and put it up in the air, their hands touching each others'
Natsu blushed at the contact while Lucy who saw him blush realized and
blushed too
"Oh..." Lucy said letting go of his hands
"Oh..." Natsu said recalling how soft her hands are
"Lucy!" A low voice growled
Lucy's eyes widened while Natsu turned his head around
"What is the meaning of this?!" It was her father Jude Heartfillia,
wearing his black suit.
"H-Hi Dad... This is Natsu, my fri-"
"Get out!" Jude said grabbing Natsu's arm and dragged him out of the
living room with Natsu's eyes wide
"What?! Dad! What are you doing?!" Lucy shouted following him while
Natsu was dumbfounded
Why was he dragging him out?
He didn't do anything!
"No boys allowed!" Jude shouted
"Dad! He's my friend!" Lucy shouted back while Jude ignored her
Natsu wanting to be polite so he didn't interfere the conversation. He
knew that maybe Lucy's father was just being protective of Lucy.
Jude opened the door and threw Natsu out
"Dad!" Lucy pushed his father back, from his position in front of the door
"You can't throw him out! I'm the one who invited him!" Lucy said, she
was angry! Her dad throwing her friend out was beyond extreme. What
was his problem anyway?
"Lucy... It's fine, I'll jus-" Natsu tried to calm the family down
"No!" Lucy shouted at him, Natsu immediately shuts his mouth
"I said he isn't allowed to be here..." Jude said calmly like he did
nothing wrong
"Why?!" Lucy shouted again.
"When I say no! It's a no! You can't be friends with him!" Jude said
slamming the door and locked it while Lucy tried to stop what he was
doing but couldn't
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there is left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes"
Jude puts the keys in his pocket and walked away from his daughter. He
doesn't want any boys to get near his precious daughter. He wanted to
protect her from breaking her own heart. When he reached the living
room. He heard his daughter shout.
"I hate you Dad! I hate you! Why can't you see that I like being with
him!" Lucy shouted with tears, running upstairs to her room and locked
it.
"Master..." Maid Amellia said
"It's for her own good..." Jude said opening the news paper and reading it
Meanwhile, Lucy was crying in her room, she wished she could be with
Natsu right now.
Why did her father throw Natsu out?
Why does he hate Natsu?
Why can't she be with him?
The truth is, she was falling for Natsu. And now her dad doesn't
approve her being his friend. What if he became her boyfriend? That
would mean trouble.
"Natsu..."
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
"Hey Natsu! I caught one!" Lucy said happily holding a big fish she
caught fishing
"Wow! I told you could do it!" Natsu said while Lucy puts the fish on
an empty blue bucket
"You have to invite me fishing again. It's fun!" Lucy said taking
another bait and placed it on her hook
Suddenly Natsu's fishing string moved. Natsu grinned "Oh! I got one."
Natsu pulled and came out a small fish
"What the?! How could Lucy get a big one and I the small one?!" Natsu groaned
Lucy giggled "It's because I'm a professional."
Natsu huffed "Show off..."
Lucy grinned which made Natsu frowned
"Oh no! It's sunset! I gotta go Natsu." Lucy said standing up
Natsu sighed "Why doesn't your father approve our relationship?"
Lucy sighed too "I'm sorry Natsu... I told him twice and he rejected.
So, yeah here I am having a date with you, fishing. Secretly." It's
been two years since that incident, Natsu and Lucy kept on meeting
each other secretly and their relationship wasn't friends anymore.
Now, they're dating.
"It's fine as long as I can be with you..." Natsu grinned
Lucy blushed hearing that statement and started walking away
"See you tomorrow, five p.m 'kay? Love you! And don't forget that we
will eat those fish tomorrow!" Lucy said waving her hand saying
goodbye
"Yeah yeah, Love you too..." Natsu said staring at Lucy's figure
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
"Lucy..."
She was now in her father's office, she was called here to discuss something with her father.
"Yes Dad?" Lucy asked
"You will need to get married before you're 25 years old, and to
bigger our company, we need to cooperate with other corporation..."
Jude said calmly with a low tone
Lucy's eye twitched "A-Are you arranging my marriage?!" Lucy said, her
voice wasn't as calm as before, she sounded angry
"Not really, you can pick whoever you want... From the Eucliffe
Corporation, Dalton Corporation, Che-"
"What if I don't want to marry anyone from those?!" Lucy shouted angrily
"You must! This is for the sake of our family name and corporation!"
Jude said slamming his hands on his working table
"What if I love someone else?!" Lucy shouted
Jude looked at her with deadly eyes "It's that boy huh?! I do not
allow you to see him!" He said
Lucy trembled "I don't care! I love him and I will always! You can't
separate me from him!" Lucy shouted, with tears sliding down her
cheeks
"Lucy! I'm your father! Listen to me! You can't be with him!" Jude
said, he didn't trust Natsu. But he trusted the other corporation's
sons because they were his friends and knew that their sons would
never break her heart.
"I don't care! I don't care! I want to be with him! This is insane!
Have you ever thought of my happiness?! Huh?!" Lucy said
"It's for your own good, Lucy!" Jude shouted
Lucy can't take this anymore she ran from her father's office leaving
her father behind. How could he? She doesn't want to be with other
people! She wants to be with Natsu, only Natsu.
She ran till she reached the forest where Natsu and Lucy often meets,
she passed maids who called her but she ignored them all, she ran with
eyes red and tears still falling.
"Luce?"
Lucy turned back to see Natsu's shock face after seeing her cry. She
hugged him till he fell to the ground with her, sobbing in the hug
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes"
"Oh.. So that's what happened..." Natsu said staring sadly at the
river. He was leaning on a tree sitting down with Lucy's head resting
on his shoulder
Lucy has already stopped crying after Natsu comforted her, she told
Natsu everything that had happened
"Natsu! I wanna leave! Please! Take me with you! I'll rent an
apartment or whatever, work with you at Fairy Tail Cafe! I don't care
anymore! I wanna leave all of this behind and look to the future!"
Lucy said and started crying again
"Luce..."
"Please Natsu! Please!" Lucy said tears making her beautiful face stained. Natsu sighed.
"I'll think about it..." Natsu mumbled
Lucy stared at Natsu still with tears "Thank you Natsu..." She said
smiling a little
"Stop crying you weirdo! It makes me sad too you know!" Natsu said
cupping her face with his hands and wiping her tears with both of his
thumb
"Shut up Pinky! I'm not a weirdo!" Lucy pouted
Natsu laughed "That's the Lucy I know..." He whispered making Lucy's
smile bigger
"Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes"
The next day, Lucy didn't see her father, she happily ate her
breakfast not wanting to discuss about her father's discussion
yesterday. As usual she went to the forest to meet up with Natsu.
Lucy hummed an unknown tune while bringing a cake she baked for him.
When she reached the river.
She didn't see him.
"Natsu?!" She shouted but no answer till she found a piece of paper
hanging on one of the trees near the river bank
She took it and it read:
Sorry, Luce. Got some business to do. Can't see you today nor
tomorrow. Maybe three or four days again. Sorry for not telling you
directly yesterday.
P.S I love you
-Salamander, the awesome Natsu
Lucy smiled at the writing 'awesome' and 'Salamander', she and Natsu
both have their own nicknames, Lucy was called 'Luce' and 'Weirdo'
while Natsu is called 'Salamander' and 'Pinky'. Lucy smiled, but she's
actually really sad that she won't be able to talk to Natsu for a few
days.
She sighed glancing at the cake box she prepared for Natsu. She then
walked back home clutching the paper Natsu left her with her left
hand.
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
It's been six days since Natsu left the note for Lucy. Lucy was really
disappointed, he said that he would be back for three or four days but
six days? She was lonely, she wanted to see him so badly. She visited
their meeting place everyday! Hoping that he will be there but... He
wasn't there
Lucy was now on her way to their usual meeting place. She was wearing
jeans and a blue tank top with white jacket. When she reached there
she saw something like a bag. Her face lit up. That could be Natsu's
bag!
She ran to the river bank and stopped.
It was a rock.
She sighed "Natsu... When will you come?" She didn't realize a tear
slid down her cheek
She wiped it away immediately "Maybe a walk in the town would make me
feel better" She said as she walked away from the river
"I'll just visit Fairy Tail Cafe, maybe Natsu came back there..." She
said to herself. Natsu had already brought her there for like a
million of times. She have already known everybody who worked there.
Natsu was right, they were like a family.
She finally reached the place. It was just a simple building with a
Fairy Tail red sign placed on the middle of the building.
She walked in the cafe and was greeted
"Lucy!" Mira greeted while cleaning a glass
"Mira!" Lucy greeted back sitting on the bar in front of Mira
"What would you like?" Mira asked sweetly
"No need Mira, h-have you seen Natsu?" Lucy asked
"Natsu?" Mira asked back at Lucy
"Yeah, he said he got some business that needed to be done for three
or four days" Lucy explained to a confused Mira
"What? He was here since six days ago!" Mira said
"What?!" Lucy said jumping from her seat, shocked. Why did Natsu came
here but didn't see her? Why? Maybe he wanted to stop seeing her. Does
he want to break up? Just thinking of it made her sad.
Ting!
Lucy looked back and saw Natsu, her pink haired best friend and
boyfriend walking in the cafe.
"Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring"
Her body moved on her own, she ran and hugged him, tackling him to the floor
"L-Luce?"
"You idiot! Why didn't you see me? Do you wanna break up? Do you hate
me?" Lucy said, crying.
Natsu's eyes widened "I will never break up with you and I love you,
not hate you! Please don't cry, Luce... I hate it when you cry"
"Stupid! How can I not cry after you left me for six days!" Lucy said
wiping all her tears
Natsu stood up and helped Lucy "And why didn't you see me if you were
here yesterday?" Lucy asked
"I told you I got some business..." Natsu said putting his hands on his pockets
"But-" She was cut off when he knelt on the ground taking a small box
from his pocket. The whole people in the cafe gasped especially the
waiters.
Natsu opened the box, it showed a simple silver ring with a small
diamond on the middle
And said, "Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress"
It's a love story baby just say... yes
"Luce, I have loved you since the first day we met. I just love your smile,
your laugh, your eyes, your kindness, in summary I love everything
about you. We have been together for 2 years and I want it to be more.
I've talked to your dad and convinced him many times, he finally
allowed me to propose. So, here I am asking you, Lucy Heartfillia,
will you marry me?" Natsu said looking at Lucy, he smiled softly at her.
At this point, Mira fainted, Erza's face is as red as her hair, Elfman
saying Natsu's a man, Juvia saying she wants to be proposed by Gray
while chasing him and Gray running away from Juvia
Lucy cried letting tears flow. She jumped at Natsu, crashing their bodies together, making him fall again.
"Yes, Yes, Yes!"
Natsu chuckled and the whole people in the cafe cheered "So, your
business is talking to my dad and buying me a ring?" Lucy asked
smiling brightly
"Yeah. Here, I'll put the ring on you..." Natsu said, Lucy pulled away
from Natsu and sat down while Natsu placed the ring on Lucy's finger
Lucy smiled staring at the ring on her left hand. Then she hugged
Natsu again
"I love you, Natsu!"
Natsu grinned hugging her tighter "Love you too, Luce..."
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
I hope you enjoyed it.
