Chapter two:The project
Lucy took a step back from the doorway in obvious shock.
"Oh...uh..Hi there," The dumbfound blonde managed to stutter out. She refrained from using his name because they had never really met before and she didn't want to seem like too much of a creeper.
"You're Lucy right?" He replied cheerfully. He knew who she was. How could he not? She was only the single most Beautiful girl he had ever his crush. Said girl gave a small nod before opening the door a bit wider so as not to seem rude.
"I'm Natsu!" He shoved his hand into Lucy's face excitedly, "Nice to meetcha!" Lucy hesitantly took the hand and shook it. Her nerves began to calm down when she saw the bright toothy grin Natsu wore on his face.
Lucy found herself smiling just as bright. "Hey Natsu! What can I do for you?" she asked.
"We're partners for the project weirdo. Don't you remember?"
Lucy could feel her face getting hot. "Oh..uh ya. Come in!" Natsu took a step in and waited as Lucy closed the door and led him to her living room.
"So..uh..let's get started," Lucy said awkwardly as they sat down on the couch.

Hours passed and Lucy found herself enjoying the company of her pink haired partner.
"The first one was definitely better!" She giggled.
"No! Toy story two was amazing!" Natsu countered. This sent Lucy into another fit of giggles. Little did she know that Natsu was staring at her with pure adoration in his eyes. He must have been the luckiest guy in the world. Sitting in his crush's house. With his crush!
"Hey Lucy?" He asked causing the girl to look up.
"Ya Natsu?"
"Why are you alone in this appartment? Don't you have family?"
"Well actually my mom died when I was really young and my dad died a few years ago so here I am." She fumbled with the hem of her shirt.
Natsu nodded and looked down uncomfortably. "I-I should get going,"
"Ok." They both got up and headed for the door.
"Hey Lucy?"
"Ya Natsu?"
"Do you...um...wanna maybe..hang out tomorrow. Like not working on the project?" He asked. Was he really asking her on a date?
"Sure!" Lucy smiled happily about to close the door when all of a sudden she felt Natsu's lips on hers. But just as quickly as they came they were gone. "Bye Luce!"
