LUCY POV

"..CY! .UCY! LUCY!"

"Go away Natsu." I say, knowing exactly who it is without having to open my eyes. Who the hell else would be trying to wake me up at such an ungodly hour in the morning? Ever since he slept in my room for the night eight years ago, he has come back just about every night and slept in my bed with me without ever being caught, but it's been close a few times. Today, Natsu is supposed to be driving me to school because Grey left early this morning for ice hockey practice, so Natsu can be as loud as he wants without the worry of Grey finding out….and it's a pan in the ass for a girl trying to sleep.

"But Luce!" he whines in a childish voice "if we let you sleep anymore, we are all going to be late for school." At this, my eyes almost immediately snap open to see Natsu leaning over me, his face mere inches from mine, he is already dressed and my window is opened, signaling he had already went back home this morning to get ready. "Natsu…" I say in a deadly calm voice, "What time is it?" I ask, mentally preparing myself for the worst.

"Don't get your panties in a twist Luce, you still have, like, 20 minutes to get ready before we got to go."

"20 MINUTES!" I scream, jumping up from my bed "NATSU YOU BASTARD, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE READY IN 20 FUCKING MINUTES!?"

Natsu then got a weird smile on his face, "like this!" he said. And the next thing I knew Natsu had picked me up princess style. He carried me across the hall to the bathroom, turned on the shower full blast, and dropped me into the freezing cold spray while I'm still in my pajamas. He then runs back out of the bathroom into my room, grabs the bundle of clothes that I had laid out the night before and dropped them on the counter.

"NATSU DRAGNEEL I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU!" I scream. He turns to leave the bathroom, but before he does, he stops for a second and looks me over. "That's sexy Luce" he says and walks out of the bathroom shutting the door behind him.

I sit there for a second wondering what the hell just happened, and then it dawns on me. I look down to notice that the white tee shirt I had been wearing was now see through and my black bra had been on display for Natsu to see.

I hear him laughing through the door, him knowing I had just realized what he meant "you got 15 minutes Luce!" I hear him yell, trying to contain his laughter "make it count!"

I sigh, take off my wet clothes and adjust the water, knowing I had lost this battle. Me and Natsu never really get along, he was always teasing me as kids and still does. But, sometimes he can be sweet when no one is around.

Sometimes it's like there are two different Natsu's. There is the day time Natsu, the playboy football player who hits on everything with a skirt…. But, then there is the nighttime Natsu, the guy who, eight years ago, broke into my room through my window just to make sure I was safe and okay.

As much as it kills me to say it, I'm in love with the nighttime Natsu. In the long run though, I know deep in my heart that he will never return these feelings. Also, he sleeps around a lot with the sluts at my school so I don't think I would ever be able to trust him enough not to cheat. Sometimes, I don't even know why I dwell on these things, it just hurts too much.

I turn off the water and step out of the shower, I have things to do today and don't have time for wishful thinking. Ever since dad….left, mom had to go take over the Heartfilla enterprises. This left me home alone a lot, so I have to take care of most of the house work since Grey has a job and plays Ice hockey for the high school.

A loud bang at the bathroom door pulls me from my thoughts. "LUCY COME ON WE GOTTA GO!" Natsu yells. "I'm coming!" I yell back, putting on my clothes and pulling up my hair with a blue ribbon.

I run out of the bathroom, down the hall into the kitchen, stopping in my bedroom to shut my window and grab my school bag. When I get to the kitchen, I see Natsu leaning against the counter, dressed in his favorite tee shirt that has red dragon on it, the scarf that Igneel gave him, a pair of black jeans and a pair of black, white and red Vans.

"Here you go Luce" he says, tossing me a granola bar and a juice box.

"Thanks, whose car are we taking today?"

"Yours of course, and I'm driving!" he grins. How did I know?

If there is anything that Natsu likes better than football and sex, it's my car. Last year for my 16th birthday, my mom and Grey both pitched in to get me my dream car, a black '67 Chevy impala. When Natsu saw it he freaked and begged me to let him drive it. Ever since I did, he has fallen even more in love. I swear that boy drives my car more than I do!

"Okay" I answer. As soon as the words are out of my mouth, Natsu grabs me by my wrist and pulls me outside into the car, cranking the engine. He pulls out of the drive way and drive towards my very own personal hell… high school.

I know this chapter was not much but the next one will dig a little deeper on why Lucy and Grey's father….left. It will also go into more detail on how Natsu feels…R&R …bye!
