Diamond Necklace
Natsu Dragneel was having an average day; he had woken up late and had left his pink hair in a shaggy mess, most of his homework was left unfinished (although he had stayed up late doing it), and he hadn't had time to eat breakfast.
He was tired as he got into Lucy Heartfilia's limousine, but still amazed that he had managed to befriend such a wealthy family.
"Good morning Natsu."
"Good morning." He politely replied.
He settled in on the leather seats and took what he thought was a secretive glance at the blonde, but before he could fully focus his attention on her, something else caught his eye- a necklace on the seat next to him. It had a silver chain with an extravagant diamond pendant.
"Wow." He muttered under his breath.
"Hmm?" Lucy asked.
"Nothing." Hurriedly, he stashed the necklace securely into his backpack.
School that day was dreary, hard, and long. Despite the extensive amounts of homework they had to do everyday, Natsu made it a point to spend time with his best friend (and fairly frequently worst enemy) Gray Fullbuster a few times a week. Mostly their hang outs consisted of playing video games and talking about a future that- most likely- would never exist.
"Gray, I have something to show you, but it's a secret."
"Sure."
He pulled necklace out of his backpack, somewhat tangled up, and presented it.
"Is that real? Did you steal it?"
"I'm not certain if it's real or not, and I didn't steal it I found it."
"Where?"
"In Lucy's limo this morning. This is a diamond-."
"You dumbass! You didn't steal it you found it in Lucy Heartfilia's limousine, the daughter of one of the richest people in the country!"
"Oh my God. Oh my God! I'll just put if back tomorrow-."
"Aren't the Heartfilia's going up North to- holy shit to that ball! She'll probably be wearing that necklace."
"What are we gonna do?"
"What are we gonna do? What are you going to do?"
"Please, please, don't make me do this alone. We can go to her house, and I'll explain to her how I accidently ended up with it."
They sat in silence for a while. Natsu had been working hard to impress their family, to impress Lucy. He did not want to look like a thief and ruin everything.
He took in a deep breath. "Come on, let's go."
