The ideas kept buzzing around so I decided to post a new chapter. Read and review guys~
"Good." His prince-like smile appeared again. "Take care Lucy-san~" The cold stare in his eyes sent a chill down Lucy's back. He walked out of the infirmary, leaving a dumbfounded Lucy on the floor. The bell signaled the end of lunch so she dragged herself back to the classroom. She couldn't focus on the rest of her lessons, Natsu's sadistic personality playing over and over in her mind.
'This can't be happening to me!'
Lucy sat in the tub sulking. "What's going on?" She mumbled sinking lower. 'Was that really the Natsu I loved for 3 years? It's too cruel. He's such a demon...' She blew bubbles of frustration as she went underwater. She thought back to Natsu and Mira's conversation.
'Black Prince huh?' She got out the tub and prepared for bed. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at her ceiling. 'So that's what he really thought about me... An idiot girl...' She buried her head in the covers as she cried herself to sleep.
The next few days at school, Lucy avoided him successfully. 'I definitely have to avoid him at all cost. I've decided to get over my love for him.'
"Oi what're ya sneaking around for?" A silky yet harsh voice resounded in her ear.
"HYAAAA!" She jumped away from the wall she was hiding behind. "W-what was that for?!" She held her chest as she turned scarlet, her heart daring to give out.
"Oh sorry Lucy-san. Did I give you a scare?" He smiled at her politely, noticing that Lucy was drawing attention.
She shook her head nervously. "I-it's fine. O-oh! I'm gonna be late!" She ran away from him as fast as she could.
She spent the whole day avoiding Natsu. "Lu-chan. You've been acting weird lately. Did something happen?" Levy leaned onto Lucy's desk.
"Yeah you've been acting pretty spaced out. What's going on?" Juvia pulled up a chair and took out her lunch.
Lucy gave them a nervous smile. "I'm fine! Just a little sleepy. I'm gonna go get a drink okay? Start eating without me." She walked briskly out of the room, leaving Levy and Juvia to chat. She let out a loud sigh as she leaned against the drink machine.
"Yo Blondie. How long ya gonna ignore me for? It's irritating. Want me to send your pics to the whole school."
She jumped out of fright, spilling her drink all over herself. "W-what the- My uniform!" Lucy glared at Natsu. "Can't you just speak like a normal person?! Geez."
Natsu smirked at her. "I did speak. You're the one that was spacing out like an idiot. Don't blame me." His eyes rolled over her body. "Heh. For an a girl with a childish mind and underwear, your body's pretty hot."
Lucy blushed and covered up her chest. "D-don't look at me!" She turned away from him. "What am I gonna do?! My uniform is soaked and I don't have a change of clothes..." She mumbled to herself. Natsu took off his blazer and handed it to Lucy. "Here." She looked at him in surprise. "What?"
He smiled politely at her. "Take my jacket Lucy-san. A lady shouldn't walk around like this. People are going to stare."
She noticed people were starting to look their way. Glowing bright red, she reluctantly took the jacket. "Come on." Natsu mumbled and grabbed her hand, pulling her along.
"Wait! W-where are we going?!" Natsu ignored her as he pulled them into the infirmary. He checked to see if anyone was there and when the coast was clear his cheery demeanor disappeared. "Oi Mira! You here?" A clipboard hit Natsu in the back of the head.
"It's Mira-sensei to you Natsu Dragneel."
Natsu clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Whatever. Where are my gym clothes? Blondie over there spilled juice all over her uniform. Now it's see through." Mira pointed to a bed at the far end.
"Where you always leave them when you skip P.E."
Natsu grabbed the clothes and threw them at Lucy. "Here. Go change."
Lucy stared at the jersey. "Um. This looks a little bit too big for me."
"So what? Deal with it." She pouted and went to the back to change.
'Why is my heart racing so much for this jerk? I vowed to stop loving him. No matter what it takes I'll delete that picture and forget all about him.' She finished changing and went to join Natsu and Mira. "I'm finished cha-" She froze when she noticed the atmosphere between the two. Natsu was making a face she'd never seen before. He looked so happy. Lucy felt a strange pang in her heart. She walked briskly to the door, wanting to escape quickly.
"Where ya think you're going?" Natsu's voice called out. He grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks.
"B-back to class. Let go!" She snatched away from him.
He folded his arms and stared at her. "Heh. Is that how you speak to someone who just helped you out?"
Lucy faced towards the door. "It was your fault in the first place." She muttered.
"What was that?"
She stomped towards the door. "Thank you!" She said angrily as she slammed the door.
"Lu-chan where have you been? It's time to go home! What happened to your uniform?!"
Lucy let out a sigh and sat down. "This idiot made me spill my milk all over myself."
"Who's jersey is that?" Juvia looked at the name on it. "Natsu's?! How'd you get his uniform?!"
Lucy grimaced. "H-he... He just happened to be there."
Levy giggled. "He really is a prince isn't he?"
Lucy scoffed. "More like a de-" Suddenly all the girls in the class started squealing and whispering to each other.
"No way!"
"What's the prince doing in our class?!"
"This isn't real."
"He's so hot!"
"He's even hotter in person!"
"Who's he here to see?"
Natsu smiled politely at the girls who surrounded him. "Pardon me. But is Lucy Heartfilia in this class."
Lucy stared nervously as her heart started pounding. 'What the hell?! Why is he here?!' She slid lower in her seat, trying to disappear before she was spotted.
"She's right here!" Levy and Juvia shouted.
"H-hey! Just a minute!" She tried to pull them down but it was too late. Natsu was already headed their way.
He smiled politely at the two. "Hi Lucy-san. Ready to go?" He grinned at her, and evil glint in his eyes that only Lucy noticed.
She eyed him cautiously. "Go? Go where?"
He feigned hurt. "Don't tell me you forgot? We agreed to walk home together today. I was really looking forward to it." He gave her a sad look that made all the girls squeal.
Lucy grimaced. "A-ah. Sorry but Juvia wanted me to go to this new clothing shop with her."
Juvia smirked. "Ah it's okay! Me and Levy can go together!" Juvia and Levy quickly packed up their things. "Have fun Lu-chan~" Levy smirked running out the door with Juvia. Lucy let out a sigh and grabbed her things reluctantly.
"This sucks." She mumbled.
"Shall we go?" Natsu smiled holding out his hand.
"What are you holding your hand out for?" She stared at him questioningly.
"Hey, hey Natsu." A girl walked up to him and grabbed his arm, squishing her chest up against him. He grimaced but quickly covered it up with a smile.
"Won't you walk me home? Forget this ugly blonde."
Lucy frowned and Natsu laughed politely. "Sorry but I'm have to walk her home."
The girl pouted. "What's with that? Why her?"
Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand and smiled. "Cause she's my girlfriend. I can't just let my girlfriend walk home by herself." He grinned and grabbed her hand. "See ya." He pulled Lucy out of the class before she reacted.
"J-just a second! Where are you taking me Natsu?! And what do you mean I'm your-" He pulled them around the corner and grabbed her face.
"Shut up for a second. Geez, motormouth." He let out a sigh when he was met with Lucy's vicious glare. "It's easier this way. I can keep an eye on you, and those annoying squealing girls won't bother me anymore. Understand?" Natsu lifted her chin and stared into her eyes. Lucy blushed as she got lost in his eyes. She slowly nodded her head.
"Good doggy." He grinned evilly at her.
"D-doggy?!" She jerked her head away from his hands. "I am not a dog. Don't call me that." He grabbed her face forcefully again.
"You must not understand the position you're in. You cannot refuse." He flashed his phone and smirked. "Understand doggy?"
Lucy teared up as she glared at him fiercely. "Asshole."
Natsu laughed a smirked at her. "Doggy." He grabbed her hand. "Lets go." He yanked her forcefully and they began to walk. Lucy thought nothing but bad thoughts as they walked home. Suddenly rain started pouring down heavily. Natsu grabbed her and ran to his house, which was close. The soaked duo breathed heavily as the stood at his door. Natsu kicked off his shoes and took off his soggy socks. "Well? Don't just stand there. Take off your wet clothes so I can dry them." She blushed and fidgeted at the door.
"W-well... I don't have on any u-underwear." Her face grew even redder. Natsu stared at her. "Hah? How stupid can you be?"
She trembled and glared at him. "They were wet and sticky! Don't call me stupid, it was your fault anyways!" She crossed her arms and pouted.
Natsu let out a sigh. "You can't be serious right now."
"Whatever! I'm leaving."
Natsu suddenly grabbed her and picked her up.
"W-w-what?! P-put me down! Are you crazy?!"
"You're gonna get sick if you stay in those wet clothes. But I don't want you to drip all over my floors. It's a pain to clean." He set her down on the bathroom floor. "Wait here."
Lucy fidgeted nervously as she glanced around his bathroom. 'Everything smells just like him.' She blushed at the thought. 'No, no, no! I shouldn't be getting excited. I don't love Natsu anymore. I decided to give up on my love from him.'
"Oi. Can you hear me?"
She jumped away when she realized Natsu was directly in front of her. "W-w-what did you say?"
Natsu sighed and tossed her some clothes. "Take a shower. Change into these. Wait until the storms over and I'll take you home."
Lucy blushed nervously. "O-okay... Thanks."
Natsu ran a hand through his wet hair and smirked at Lucy. "What kind of master would I be if I let my doggy get sick?" He walked out of the bathroom leaving a cherry faced Lucy.
She hummed happily as she wrapped a fluffy towel around her body. 'His shower is great! It's so high tech.' She gasped and shook her head. 'I shouldn't be getting excited. I need to find a way to delete that picture!' She dried her body with resolve. Suddenly there was a loud boom and the lights went out.
Lucy let out a loud scream and ran out the bathroom quickly. Natsu came down the hall with a flashlight. "Oi Blondie where are y-" Lucy ran into him, panicking. "H-hey! Let go!" Another loud boom shook the apartment.
"Nooooo!" She scream as she clenched Natsu's shirt, trembling violently.
"Blondie?" He stared at her in shock.
"I hate it..." She burried her teary face in his chest. He let out a sigh and patted her damp head.
"Alright, alright. Calm down." He hugged her tightly as the two sat on the floor, surrounded by darkness. After about another twenty minutes of thunder and lightening, the lights flickered back on and the storm quieted.
They sat like that for a few more minutes, completely relaxed with each other. Lucy slowly opened her eyes to the light. She looked up and saw Natsu looking at her with an unreadable expression. "So how long ya gonna stay like this in that getup?" Lucy turned red as she realized what she was wearing. She screamed a pushed him away.
"D-don't look at me!" She shouted at she darted to the bathroom. Lucy quickly put on the clothes, fearing he might burst through the door at any second. She sighed and leaned against the door. She thought back to the way his heated hands touched her back, and how his strong arms wrapped around her waist. His longs fingers that ran through her hair. Her face heated up as she shook her head. 'This isn't what I'm supposed to be thinking about right now!' She let out a sigh and reluctantly opened the door. Natsu was sitting on the floor still. He looked pissed.
"It took you long enough. I'm freezing my ass off here!"
Lucy flinched. "Sorry! I spaced out a bit."
He scoffed. "Of course you did you airhead." He went into the bathroom and slammed the door.
Lucy stomped around the house angrily. "That stupid idiot!" She opened a random door. "When is this storm gonna end?!" She kicked a stray shoe. "Dummy..." She calmed down a bit and realized where she was. 'Crap! Is this his room?!' She looked around the room. 'Its huge! This apartment is so luxurious!' She frowned. 'Spoiled rich kid with a horrible attitude.' She inspected the room. There were a few pictures here and there but there was one that really caught Lucy's eye. It's stood out more than the others and there was a weird looking teddy bear. The bear made her giggle but all her laughter stopped when she picked up the bear and looked at the picture. Her shoulders slumped and her eyes got glossy.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Lucy turned towards him with an the picture in her hand. "Natsu you... You're in love with Mira-sensei aren't you."
Natsu glared at her. He stomped over to her and snatched the picture. "Why do you care?"
Lucy stepped back the teddy bear still in her hand. "That's why you're always in the infirmary! Cause you're in love with her!" He scowled at her, fierce look in his eyes that shut Lucy up. He smirked, noticing the pathetic look on her face.
"Oh I see." He stepped towards her as she backed away. "You're in love with me huh? That's why you're so nosy. I kinda figured with the way you blush and smile like an idiot." Lucy glared at him. "Everytime I'd get close to you, you'd turn red and stutter."
She backed away again. "W-wai-"
"Kinda like what you're doing now." Lucy's legs hit the bed and she fell backwards, onto the bed. Natsu quickly climbed on top of her. "You stupid girls are all the same. Falling for good looks and a nice smile. Then when you find out that it was all a lie you give up. Say it was a waste of your time, forget all about the guy and fall in love with another nice smile."
Lucy glared at him fiercely. "That's not true." He smirked, his grip on her arms tightening.
"Oh it isn't? Then you wouldn't mind if I did this right?" He gave her a prince like smile, his eyes full of anger. "Pardon my intrusion Lucy-san." He said politely. Leaning down, he sealed her lips with his. Lucy eyes widened as Natsu gave her a searing kiss. She slowly sunk into the forceful kiss when his tongue slid across her lips before prying them open. Lucy's eyes shut tightly as tears threatened to spill.
'No! Such a kiss with someone who doesn't love me, I don't want it.' All the images of what Natsu said kept replaying in her head as he deepened the kiss. 'NO!'
She pushed him away, catching her breath. He sat upright and smirked at her. "See you're a hypocr-" Lucy smacked his face, sending him tumbling off the bed.
"Go to hell." She panted as tears spilled down her face. She wiped off the kiss as Nastu stood. "You talk about how all girls are the same and how we're hypocrites but what does that make you? Idiot!" She cried and ran out the room.
Natsu sighed and slumped on the floor, staring at the fallen teddy bear. "Idiot."
Lucy ran full speed out of the building, not hearing anything and blinded by her tears. She continued to run through the rain, not knowing where she was or where she was going. 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Why was I so stupid!?' She slowed down, her body feeling like led. She collapsed onto the ground, her emotions overwhelming her. 'How could I let myself be tricked by him?!'
