"Where are you Lucy?"

Placing a hand over her mouth, the blonde attempted to muffle her breathing when she heard the sound of footsteps right next to where she was hiding. His voice pierced through the quiet room like a knife, and Lucy couldn't help but start shaking when she felt Natsu stop next to her hiding spot.

"No matter where you hide," he said, his voice deeper than normal, "I'll find you."

The girl squeaked loudly when blinding light flooded into the cabinet and a hand grabbed her arm. Natsu stared at her with a boyish grin, eyes wide with the pleasure of having been able to find her so soon.

Groaning, Lucy crawled out of her hiding spot in frustration. This was already the fifth time that he found her in what felt like under two minutes!

"Come on!" Lucy huffed, crossing her arms across her chest, "This is the fifth time! Do you have super hearing or something?"

The male in front of her was about to respond when Virgo burst through the room. "Princess! Is everything alright?" she asked worriedly, forehead wrinkled in concern.

Dusting her jeans from invisible dust, Lucy reassured, "It's okay, Virgo! Natsu just scared me, is all."

Relaxing, Virgo straightened her posture and bowed in respect, however, once she took a look around the room, she saw that they were the only people in the room.

"Sorry if I ask, Princess, but where is this Natsu? You say he scared you, but I don't see any sign of him," she inquired, tilting her head in confusion.

"Umm," Lucy frowned, brows furrowed from the question, "He's right next to you, Virgo."

The maid turned her head to both sides, but didn't see a single human other than the blonde in front of her. "Are you sure, Princess?" she asked.

Tilting her head, the little girl stared at the maid in confusion. Glancing back at the pink-haired boy next to Virgo, she saw that he was shaking his head, as if to tell her to drop it. His arms were crossed against his chest with a bored expression, almost as if urging her to hurry up to continue their game.

Looking back towards the maid, Lucy simply smiled, "It's okay! Your eyesight might not be at its best today!" Clasping her hands behind her, the blonde walked past the maid, making sure that Natsu was following her.

Before they left the room, Lucy heard Virgo respond quietly, "As you say, Princess."


After a few more games of hide-and-seek, with Natsu always managing to find Lucy and Lucy failing at finding him after almost thirty minutes before giving up, the two decided to hang out in the blonde's room.

It was already dark outside, and Lucy was supposed to have already been asleep, but she decided to stay awake talking with Natsu.

She left the room dark so as not to rise suspicions from the maids if they passed by her room and saw light shining through the cracks of her door. The two talked quietly, the sound of rustling leaves occasionally filling the quiet atmosphere for a few seconds when conversation died down, only to be drowned out by their voices.

"How come Virgo couldn't see you?" the blond girl asked after a while.

Natsu's green eyes pierced through the darkness, almost glowing as he stared at her when she spoke. His face was shadowed under the light of the moon, adding to the way his face look almost predatorily at her.

"I don't know," he answered, shrugging soon after.

Annoyed at his lack of a firm answer, she glared at him, "You didn't answer my question, Natsu."

Her glared softened and she shifted uncomfortably when he glared back at her. Lucy pursed her lips as the silence between them became overwhelming. His gaze kept her from looking away, and everything around him started to darken, almost as if disappearing.

He stood up, eyes still locked with her, and he slowly walked up to her. His eyes flashed dangerously, but Lucy held her ground. As soon as he was in front of her, he leaned forward, caging her between his arms on the bed.

His face was undeniably close, and the blonde leaned away to put some distance between them, but he only came closer. Lucy noticed how she could feel his hot breath blow softly against her skin, and she trembled when his nose touched hers as he leaned in even more.

She continued to tilt her body away from him, but he continued to follow. She was so concentrated on how close his body was to hers that she didn't notice that there was no more room to move away until her back hit the soft covers of her bed.

Her hair was splayed everywhere, hands raised up to cover her face. The bed creaked when she felt Natsu completely climbing over her, and she sunk with the mattress from his added weight.

Peeking through her fingers, she saw his glowing eyes still staring at her, "What are you doing?"

Annoyance oozed out of her question, regaining her confidence again as the seconds passed. She was still peeved that he hasn't answered her question.

"Why couldn't Virgo see you?" she asked once again, but her face was still covered with her hands. His body heat was getting unbearable, and Lucy felt her body starting to sweat underneath the covers.

Warm hands grabbed her own and pulled them away from her face, pinning them next to her head, preventing her from escaping.

His eyes were half-lidded, and his face moved closer to hers. When his nose touched her nose, she moved her head away from him, causing his nose to graze on her cheek. He moved his head to her neck, and Lucy clenched her hands when she felt his breath tickle her sensitive skin.

"W-what are you d-doing?" she asked weakly, trembling underneath him as he pressed his body onto hers. She closed her eyes tightly when she felt his lips softly brush against her heated skin. Her legs squeezed his waist in an attempt to stop him from lowering even more.

Despite feeling terrified of what can happen if she doesn't say anything, Lucy couldn't find her voice at the moment to scream loud enough for anybody to hear.

"You're scared of me," Natsu whispered against her neck before placing his head on her chest. Her breathing caused his head to move with the rising and falling of her chest. Her heart slowed down when he didn't move anymore.

The hands on her wrists loosened after he squeezed them softly before letting them go. Natsu's hands slowly went down to rest on either side of her head and the blonde's legs was in between the older male's own pair of legs. His whole body shifted down to get more comfortable, and the pink-haired boy reached up once again to tug on one of Lucy's arms.

"I would never forgive myself if I ever hurt you," he continued, and the young girl felt her heart squeeze at the emotions that poured out of his voice. "I don't want anything bad happen to you in any way."

"I'll never hurt you," he gently grabbed her hand and kissed it, "I promise."

His lips were completely cold.


"Oh my gosh!" a blue-haired girl gasped, "I've always wanted to read that book! You're so lucky!"

Lucy lifted her gaze from her book to stare at the excited girl in front of her. She was one of her many classmates, known for being a bookworm.

The girl was also known for talking to herself, though Lucy couldn't understand why.

"Yeah," the blonde responded slowly, unsure as to what to say, "It's really good."

"What's your name?" the girl asked as she leaned across the lunch table to get closer.

Leaning away a little, she answered, "Lucy. Yours?"

"I'm Levy!" she exclaimed, "Nice to meet you! It's so hard to meet people who actually read!"

"You have a pretty name," Lucy said quietly, looking down at her book. She wasn't expecting the blue-haired girl to hear her, but the girl apparently had super hearing.

"Thanks!" Levy blushed, smiling softly before grabbing the blonde's wrist, "Hey, how 'bout you sit with me? We can talk about books we've read before!"

Eyes wide, Lucy stumbled as the short girl dragged her to a table with a few people already sitting there.

"Hey guys!" the blue-haired girl said, causing everyone on the table to turn their heads to face the two girls.

They all answered back to Levy, and the girl went to sit beside a pretty red-haired girl. Lucy stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

It had been a long time since she sat with a group of people during lunch.

Levy seemed to have noticed her discomfort because she immediately gestured to another seat next to her with a smile.

Quickly walking with her gaze down, book still in hand, Lucy quietly sat next to her, fidgeting when she felt eyes on her.

"This is Lucy!" Levy introduced, "And she knows how to read!"

"Oi! We know how to read!" a boy with long black hair with a pierced ear said, lips pulled down in a frown. His arms were crossed, and Lucy noticed that his eyes were red, an eye color so unusual to the blonde.

"Yeah, barely," Levy retorted, a small smile growing on her lips, though she tried to hide it.

"Whatever," he huffed, but a sly smirk made its way to his lips, "Shorty."

Gasping, the blue-haired girl started to argue with the boy, no longer composed as she was before.

"My name's Erza," the girl with red hair said, holding out her hand with a small smile. Lucy took her hand and shook it, though she was still nervous.

"Lucy," the blonde said, even though she knew that the girl already knew. However, Lucy was busy noticing that Erza's hand felt like Natsu's whenever she held them.

Almost as if she was holding thin air.

It wasn't cold however, so the blonde dismissed it completely.

Letting their hands go, Erza started to introduce the other people sitting with them.

"He's Gray," she pointed to a black-haired boy, who simply waved at them before continuing with his food, "The girl next to him is Juvia, and the boy with the piercing is Gajeel."

"Hi," Lucy waved shyly, cringing when the girl next to Gray glared at her before pressing her body closer to the boy.

"Lucy," she heard Erza say, and she turned to the red-haired girl, "I hope we can be great friends."

Smiling, Lucy felt her heart skip a beat at the words, and Gray, Juvia and Gajeel turned to look at her, "Yeah, I hope so too!"

And the cafeteria grew cold.
