To love a Tiger

by Char-nee

When Lucy first met Rufus, she had no idea that he was a Sabertooth mage, she just asked him for some help, even though he didn't know she was a Fairy, either. When they first met, they thought "She's/he's so cute!" but now, they think "I will finally get to spend time with you, even if you are my rival!". this is Lufus, or whatever you call it, don't like it, don't read! nya ;3

1. Meeting Rufus

Hey guys, Char-nee here! Suave! lollolol, jk, don't kiss Char-nee! but in this it will be LucyXRufus, because I don't see much of them and I like that pairing ***Might be a bit of Stilu or Sticy

But either way, This is about Lucy meeting Rufus before the GMG but after the Tenroujima Arc... This chapter will be about how Lucy meets Rufus in the first place. So Char-nee wants you to enjoy, Nya X3~

Lucy's P.O.V. (When she first meets Rufus, 3 months before the GMG)

When I go to leave the bar, my motorcycle won't start (Yes, people, in this FanFic, Lucy has a motorcycle, but just read, dammit!) I really couldn't see what was wrong with it, but I jumped when I heard a sleek voice behind me

"Do you need help, Miss...?" The blonde-haired man asked me

"Um-I, well... uh-actually- um, erm... uh, uhm... Yeah..." I stutter out "And my name Is Lucy Heartfilia, nice to meet you, Mr...?" I hold out my hand

"Lohr, Rufus Lohr!" he dazzingly smiles and shakes my hand gently Geeze this guy is pretty cute! "I know a thing or two about mechanics, do you need help, there?" he asks me pointing to my bike

"Yeah, do you think you could help me out?" I ask him

"Sure, you seem like a very nice person, Miss Lucy" he says kindly and nods at me.

"Thank-you, Rufus! I will pick up my bike as soon as you say it's ready!" I exclaim, obviously thankfull for his kind actions. We exchange adresses and lacrima numbers. Then we part ways, and since I have to walk home, it takes a good 20 minutes to get back to my apartment. and as soon as I open the door... Mira is there and she throws herself at me

"Lucy, Natsu told me he saw you talking to a guy! Do you have a boyfriend? Is he good looking?" Mira bombarded me with questions

"Mira, calm down and i'l answer your ridiculous questions!" I say with a sigh. She obedient and sits on my bed like a dog, waiting patiently. I take in a deep breath

"Ok, so I was talking to a guy, but only coz he's my new friend and he offered to help me fix my motorcycle, because it wouldn't start. So, no, I don't have a boyfriend, but I have one in mind... and he was pretty cute just not as handsome as Na-"" I slap my hand over my mouth, realizing what I was about to say

"YOU LIKE NATSU! I KNEW I-" I slap my hand over her mouth, and pick up the ringing lacrima

"Hello, Miss Lucy, your bike's almost done, so you can come pick it up tomorrow!" Says Rufus. His hair is pulled back into a pony tail, and he is wearing brown gloves and a tank top, and had smudges of oil on his well-toned muscles. I blushed

"Okay, Rufus, thank you! see you tomorrow" and now I have to deal with Mira...
