"Lucyyy, I'm bored," caller Natsu Dragneel complained into his mobile phone as he sat on his desk chair, exhausted from earlier football practice.
"Go talk to Gray or something, I bet he has something to say about Juvia," Lucy Heartfilia scowled as she was lying on her bed. Why did Natsu call her of all people? Didn't he know that she was still trying to get over their break up?! This shows just how dense he can really be.
"Gray's an ice bastard, I don't wanna talk to him," Natsu grumbled. "Besides, I wanted to talk to you, not that ice cone."
"You really can't go a day without calling Gray names, can you?" she sighed, ignoring the fact that he just said that he only wanted to talk to her and no one else.
What really was on her mind was the fact that Natsu didn't even need to get over the fact that they weren't girlfriend and boyfriend anymore. He just looked at her, maybe looking a bit shocked when she'd told him that she needed a break from him, and said, "Sure," as if he hadn't a care in the world.
She was frustrated and mad at him, but more at herself for being the one that initiated it. It was the most stupidest reason, too. She was just an overly super-jealous type of girlfriend, so what'd you expect?
He was spending some time with Lisanna, so she simply got jealous. There's nothing else to say. What really made her angry was when that time when he recently accidentally touched his lips with Lisanna's in public, and Lucy hadn't even gotten one kiss from Natsu, so she was still a kiss virgin.
I know, right? Being mad over an accidental kiss.
Now that she'd thought about it, she couldn't get over the fact that she was so stupid to even think that Natsu liked Lisanna.
Every single day, he would spend a lot more time with her than with Lisanna, and he would be so sweet all of the time, letting her have things that he usually didn't let her have before they were together and doing things for her that he normally wouldn't do for other girls.
So stupid.
"Lucy? You there?" Natsu sounded a bit concerned. "Did something happen?!"
Lucy sniffed a bit, thinking about the good times she'd had with him, "N-No, Natsu, I'm still here."
He sighed in relief, "Oh, okay, good. For a minute, I thought something was wrong, so I got scared. Sorry about that!"
"Nah, it's okay, you were just worried," Lucy smiled, glad to hear his soothing voice. "Hey, Natsu, do you remember that time when you actually tried to be polite in a restaurant for me?"
"I-I didn't do that!" she could just picture Natsu lightly blushing in embarrassment.
"Aw, c'mon, you were so sweet, you don't need to deny it!" Lucy laughed. "And that other time when you gave me your beloved scarf just because I was a bit cold when it was only seventy degrees."
"Lucyyy! C'mon, stop, I just thought you were really cold."
She giggled, "It wasn't snowing or anything like that, so what makes you say it was really cold? Eh, you wouldn't know, you're warm all of the time." It felt just like it was when they were still a couple, so just what was wrong...?
"Of course I am, I'm a fire dragon," she could hear the sound of him puffing his chest out.
"Fire dragons aren't r-real Natsu…" Lucy began to sniffle some more with the thought of Natsu coming to her rescue. He always came at the exact right time.
"...Lucy? I can hear crying. Is that you?"
"I-It's nothing, Natsu, r-really!" she let out a little bit of tears, beginning to sob. "It's n-nothing but dust!"
"I'm coming over right now, Lucy."
She ignored his statement, overcome with tears of sorrow. Rolling down her cheekbones, they met her chin, dropping down onto her lap.
The line went dead.
…
Lucy had cried herself to sleep, dreaming about Natsu and her memories with him soon after. This always happened. It was only her. She was the only one who felt this strongly for him. She was the only one who would go far for him. The only one.
If only she hadn't been so stupid.
When she woke up, she felt warmer. Less cold.
There was a blanket draped over her body, which she couldn't remember putting over herself.
She could also feel an incredibly warm heat source coming from her back side. She looked behind her shoulder, the cushion lowering under the weight of her forearm.
Unsurprisingly, it was the one and only Natsu, his arms clasped around her tiny waist.
She knew that he'd come. She just knew that it wasn't for the reason that she'd hoped for.
"Natsu…" she murmured as she stared at his sleeping face. It was cute. She sighed, wishing that this moment could last forever. But it couldn't, unfortunately.
"Natsu," she whispered, this time, louder. "Wake up, Natsu."
"Huh, w-what happened?" he mumbled as he opened his eyes and looked at her. "Oh, Lucy, you're up."
"Yeah..."
"Lucy, tell me why you were crying," he straight out demanded.
"W-What?" she didn't expect him to even remember!
"You were crying earlier today," Natsu said. "Do you think I'd just leave you here to cry alone?"
No...but I did want you to.
Natsu looked her dead in the eye, "Tell me, Lucy, why were you crying?"
She avoided eye contact, "I was just frustrated because of something that I cooked that ended up getting burnt." This was partly true since, earlier in the day, Lucy had burnt her favorite cooked meal (yogurt is not cooked as far as I can tell, so it's another food).
"You're lying," Natsu accused.
"No!" she denied.
"Lucy, listen to me," Natsu said. "Look me in the eye-NO, don't avoid me!"
She sighed, looking him straight in the eyes, "Okay, what?"
"Okay, Lucy, whatever it is you're stressed about, tell me, because you're just gonna make me sad too," Natsu was serious. "When you don't tell me anything, you make me feel like I'm not worth anything and that I'm just not trustworthy."
Lucy cried, yet again, "Fine, you idiot! It's because of you! YOU!
"You don't even react to the fact that we've broken up!"
Natsu looked like he had just gotten show by an arrow, "W-We broke up?!"
"Yes, we did!" she hiccupped.
"I thought that you just wanted to be alone for a week or something, not that we broke up!"
Lucy barely registered this fact, "...What?"
"You heard me! I didn't know," Natsu growled. "I never wanted to break up with you-wait, why did you break up with me again?"
She facepalmed, "Right, um, it's because you accidentally kissed Lisanna…"
"Lisanna?" Natsu scratched his head. "Oh...right...I was hoping you didn't see that, because I wanted you to be my first." He chuckled. "I was hoping...really hoping...but, you saw it, huh…?"
"Yeah…" Lucy was determined. "But it doesn't matter anymore."
"Huh?" Natsu was confused.
"I can be all of your other firsts...right?" Lucy hoped so much that he would agree. "It doesn't matter that your first kiss was taken, because there are a lot of other firsts that I can take from you!"
"Sure," he grinned. "I'll give 'em all to you."
"Then...can we get back together?"
"We've been together since the start, you weirdo." he hugged her as he fell back down into the bed.
She hugged him back, her arms tightly wound around his neck. She snuggled herself into his chest, "Yeah...you're right."
