(Lucy's P.O.V.)

Natsu totally gave up trying to get Happy off me when the train started moving and believe me, he looked sicker than he has ever been before. I wanted to help so I made him put his head on my lap and began playing with his hair. This part I had no problem with. I kept playing with his hair in the same spot so I decided to move my hand and the second I touched this one spot he looked totally fine and h- he started purring.

I could see he was drifting off to sleep so I took my hand off, bad move. When I did the purring stopped and the growling started. He was freaking growling at me?! I put my hand back because his growling was only getting louder, luckily he stopped. " You are so cute Natsu"

He started mumbling something so I leaned in closer to listen, " Rushie", who the hell is that, wait maybe he is saying Lucy. I went back to listening, "Rushie is purfet", I am dead. Natsu Dragneel has killed me.

I 100% know that my face is that color of a tomato but Natsu is asleep so atleast he isn't seeing this.

The second I thought that this idiot started to shuffle...great.

He turns around and looks at me with a little pink on his cheeks.

"Oh look Natsu. It is our stop", I don't think I have ever run that fast in my entire life.

(Natsu's P.O.V.)

"You are so cute Natsu" Di- Did that just come out of Lucy's mouth?! I have been awake this whole time, she didn't know that. The only reason I am not sick to my stomach is Lucy just makes me feel better. She probably didn't mean it the way I hoped, oh well.

(Lucy's P.O.V.)

I am off the train and a solid 3 miles away from it. Oh no, this wasn't our stop. I think I somehow ended up in a bad neighborhood. Everyone here looked really scary. Three BIG guys walked up to me and started to get a little too friendly.

" Aw come on, don't you want to have a good time with us?"

" Yeah sweetie, it'll be fun. I promise."

That is it, time to teach these guys a lesson. I reached for my keys ready to call cancer. Oh shoot, Natsu has my keys.

" Guys let's stop playing, just grab her and go."

No. No. What do I do? The second largest one grabs my hips and picks me up over his shoulder. I look down and see something shining in my eye, THE NECKLACE! Oh thank goodness. I grab it and all I think about is Natsu, his smile, his comforting nature, his protectiveness, and how safe I feel when with him.

"Natsu, can you hear me?"

"LUCE! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"Natsu, please help me. These guys grabbed me. I don't have my keys. I need you Natsu"

"I will kill them. Look for something Luce. Something tall. Anything"

I looked around. " There is a church Natsu. It is white, tall-

I'm cut off by a blow of fire that knocks out the two guys not holding me.

"Fire Dragon ROAR!"

I am in fire. I am in fire! Natsu Dragneel is trying to kill me!

"Natsu!" Oh crap, the guy holding me starts to fall, great. I tightly close my eyes, bracing for impact, that never comes. I open my eyes to see a very worried Natsu.

"Luce" He shoves his head in the crook of my neck and sqeezes me so tightly I thought I was going to be crushed. "Natsu, I am fine." "No, you're not and it's all my fault. I am so sorry." "What are you talking about Natsu?" " Look at your hips Luce. they did that to you."

I move my head as much as possible given the pink circumstances. I am finally able to see my hips and right in between my crop top and skirt there is a hand print. Did they do that, I didn't even feel it. I looked at the other side and I see the same thing but Natsu's hand is on top of most of it.

"It isn't your fault Natsu. I am the one who took off running. It is my fault." he raised his head and looked at me, I cupped his cheek with my free hand and looked at him. "Do not blame yourself, okay?"

"Ok Luce. Thanks" He flashed one of those 1,000 watt smiles and stood up with me in his arms. I didn't even care about my blush right now.

"Two things Natsu. One, keys please. Two, why didn't your fire burn me like it did that guy?"

Natsu tosses me my keys and looks at me. "I would never let my fire hurt you Luce, never. It only burns the people I hate."

"Oh", that is about the only thing I can say besides, "Okay".

We started to walk again and he has yet to set me down, I'm fine he can put me down but I don't mind. My eyes began to wander, they just so happened to fall on his open vest, wow. I never realized how many muscles he has.

I pretended to "fall asleep" and I leaned on his chest rather than his arms, which did have a lot of muscle also. What is he doing to me, I am not a pervert, what has this attractive idiot done? SEE?! I have never thought like this before, goodness Natsu Dragneel.

I opened my eyes again and began to admire what was on display, I must have been staring for awhile because next thing you know I'm in a place I've never seen and -oh no- I'm staring.

"You done checking me out, Luce?"
