"Love... I want to hold you close to me and feel our hearts beat as one forever."
Lucy's life was flashing in front of her. She was trapped here in basketball court with the devil himself, Natsu traced her jaw and her body was reacting on it own.
"I won't waste my time I'll give you two options, be obedient flower with accepting my payback or you can quit being flower and expelled from school."
He twirled her hair in his hand, he was so close to her comfort, "If you want that your family live in luxury and wealthy life than you know which choice to make, little Luce."
He was smirking.
Lucy was panicking, "How do you know about my family? " she tried to get out of his grip but it was worthless.
He left her and again spin the basketball as he answered "Flowers are not different than servants and as you know we are most richest and important people so for safety I did background check on you."
He threw ball in her hands harshly, "Flowers get everything, every privilege even there tuitions are paid, isn't this something you want Luce?"
She knew he was right, she needed money to survive and education is most important also, she squeezed ball to her chest.
"F-Fine, I'll be your flower and will accept your every paybacks, I can do this." She knew she was digging her own grave but she don't have any option, and boy that devilish smirk on his face spell trouble.
"You Better not forget what you said Little Lucy ."
She gave him brave look," I can be a best flower ever " he pulled her towards him," So now as you must follow my orders, don't let go of this ball and face me"
"But"
"You cannot argue with your master"
She looked up in his piercing dark burning mysterious eyes. She cannot read them.
He shifted closer to her as she was trapped between the wall of ground and between him. Damn his muscles.
"Now payback number four keep looking at me" he cupped her cheeks, as warmth engulfed her. She don't know what he was doing.
"Now payback number four kiss me" as he traced her soft glossy pink lips.
"w-what, no way " this psycho pervert, she shoved him harshly.
" So you wanna quit?"
She took his hand in her hand and slapped herself with it, he jerked back in confusion, "what are you doing dummy?" he growled.
She looked at him, she was scared but she won't back down, "I know you want revenge for that time when I slapped you in hotel, so if you wanna payback for slapping you then you should payback with slaps."
He looked at her and slowly whacked her three times on head, "ouch that's hurt" she hissed. He rolled his eyes as he pulled her in his arms embracing her,
"Idiot I didn't even hit you and you are yelling and you want me to slap you, well those three childish hit were total eight payback."
He pinned her on the wall as he nuzzling her neck, he whispered," Don't tell me how, I am suppose to pay you back. Payback number nine " as he softly sucked on her delicate skin around her neck and put his lips on her, in a passionate kiss.
No no this is wrong, I don't like him I want to do these things with someone I like and this guy paying me back with kisses, he is worst but why my body is on fire wherever he is touching me, what is this unknown feeling, my body is burning tingling all over.
Her mind was fuzzy she cannot think anymore as darkness took over her.
Natsu tried to call her but she was burning and fainted. He sighed.

Meanwhile in St. Jude's elite building.
Gray one of the nine elite around was just slumping on his table.
"Something troubling you Mr. Gray?" Jellal his flower since childhood asked.
Gray looked at him, "This time I thought that maybe I can be friends with the fierce little Lucy, the new flower of Natsu. But it's looks like she was not able to bring him back even to join his classes, it's no fun without him.
" You are right master, if she cannot perform little task like this, she will be dropped" Gray sulked, " Natsu is too mean to her, she won't make it and he is not coming. Poor little Lucy."
Suddenly the door of elite classroom was bang open Gray and Jellal both were shocked when they saw Natsu.
Jellal looked for Lucy ," where is Lucy Mr. Natsu ? Did something happened "
Gray was shocked that Natsu was here," So you are here finally, I guess your flower performed her first task, so what do you think about her?"
Natsu took Natsu's bag and before heading out of class he turned and replied, "She is pretty interesting"
Both were shocked not only he was carrying her bag but he came. "
Jellal fix his glasses but he knew being flower isn't easy."

St. Jude private infirmary.
She was burning, her head was spinning when she felt somebody grabbing her, "no don't" she tried to fight.
"Relax dummy it's me" even her eyes were glued shut. She knew it was him . She knew something was weird, she felt like she was melting. Slowly her consciousness was coming back, she felt his lips on hers, did he ever stop? She snapped opened her eyes and shoved him, this pervert.
She scooted far away in bed, "what is that cold thing you slipped in my mouth? And what I am doing here?"
Natsu just picked his ball and bounced it back and forth, he stopped and gave her that mysterious look, "Nurse said it was probably a heat stroke. You probably cannot cope up with heat can you? Just like the time in hotel?" she looked at him,
"So you going to class?"
He turned towards her, "firstly when I gave you basketball to hold. why you let it go and about the class I did promise you that I'll go but classes have been already ended for today."
Lucy was shocked, she looked at the clock on the white wall across the room, no. She was literally crying, it was her first task and she was not able to do it. He just laughed at her, "You can try harder tomorrow, little flower."
He was gone and she was alone in room, he called her flower, hallelujah he accepted her as flower. She remembered there's little argument back in football court even he has whacked her head but it didn't hurt.
It was more like a tap, he was pretending.
Maybe she can cope up with this little untamed Devil.
She sighed, it's going to be a long journey.

School was over for today but she has lot of things to think, today was weird she lost her first kiss to a guy like him. Being flower is really difficult maybe that's why Mr. Ichiya was behaving different.
I don't wanna be flower but I'll get expelled and all the money will be gone. But I can ask from mom and dad maybe we can survive on our own , we can live like before even life is rough on edges these days.
She was out in front of her home, she was practising how she going to convince her parent, she took a deep breath here goes nothing.
She knocked and door were open, "mom listen in don't wan-"
"SURPRISE LUCY "
Lucy was shocked, huh! What's going on?
Her mom dad and little brother has decorated the whole house, when her mother guided her to the dining table, "congratulations Lucy, we didn't know you are flower. You must be amazing and intelligent to be flower.
" you are brilliant, sis" jack her little brother said.
Her father had tears in his eyes, "I nearly had to mortgage the house but thanks to you my child, we are OK."
Her parents were this much happier after a long time, "honey your master Dragneel has taken care of us, we got the money and your tuition fees are paid."
Lucy could not believe this, it's too good to be true. "but mom I do-" suddenly her seven year old brother jumped in her lap, "Sis, see I got new violin I wanted, I am so glad I don't have to leave my school. This all because of you sis. I love you"
She knew she was in for good, her family matter more than anything on earth. They are happy so she is going to be that perverted devil's flower.
Suddenly her parents and brother was very quiet and look at her, "so tell us what you think of master Natsu?"
"he is nice, right? "
" very polite "
" tell sis, he is very kind, na? "
She just cannot described the situation she was stuck now, she cannot tell her family or innocent brother, that how rude and wild that guy is.," mom dad and Jack he is very good person like you all guys see. "
They smiled, "we knew it."
She smiled along with them.
This going to be a long journey.
