TADA! I know I said the previous one was the last one buuuuut I couldn't help myself. I really enjoy writing this drabble series.

Falling for the Bad Boy… Literally

Lucy was totally, completely, thoroughly, absolutely, one hundred percent stupefied.

She had been on class duty for the day and was erasing the blackboard, jumping desperately to reach the parts her short stature couldn't reach when someone took the eraser from her hands and did it for her.

The object of her astonishment was none other than the infamous Natsu Dragneel. After the blackboard was finally cleaned, he left once more without saying a word. She could only stare at his back in bewilderment. She didn't even get to thank him.

Natsu was a puzzle she couldn't decipher. While he initially scared the hell out of her, she was starting to see another side of him. What she didn't understand was why he kept on helping her. Was it because she returned his scarf? Maybe it was that precious to him that he felt like he owed her so much? She didn't want anything in return. She merely did it because it was the right thing to do. Her friends would often tell her that she was too kind, and she would always answer that kindness wasn't a bad thing.

That wasn't the end of it, no. The next day, during their P.E. time, her class- section A- had played a volleyball game against section E- which also happened to be the class of Natsu and his friends. The first game was of the boys and as the game went on, the rest were on the sidelines cheering for their respective classes. Lucy, in particular, stayed away from the court and watched at a distance. It was a close competition, with both teams playing exceptionally. During the latter part, Section E's P.E instructor had called Natsu to play. It was his turn to serve, and Lucy guessed he didn't know a thing about volleyball because the moment he served, the ball flew all the way to where she was and hit her straight on the forehead.

The hit was pretty hard, because she honestly saw stars, and she could feel a lump growing on her throbbing forehead. She was barely aware of the commotion around her as she counted the stars- or were they little pixies?- dancing around her head. She barely heard the apologetic curse from someone. She barely felt herself being carried to the infirmary.

She only recovered when he set her on a chair, realizing too late that it was Natsu- for the second time- who carried her there.

"Shit, the nurse is not here," he grumbled, running a hand through his hair, looking heavily distressed.

Lucy, not knowing what to do or say at such an awkward situation, silently watched as he rummaged through the first aid kit. He grabbed a few stuff before sitting across her. He poured what look like an antiseptic on a cotton. The boy obviously didn't know what he was doing.

"Uhm, I don't think that's really necessary," she tried to tell him.

"Shut up, I know what I'm doing!" He gently pressed the cotton on the lump on her forehead and Lucy decided to shut up so as not to anger the boy in front of her.

And so she stayed still as he fumbled with the bandages and wrapped her head sloppily with it. He was proud when he was done, only to gasp in horror when he realized that he had wrapped her whole head like a mummy. Quickly undoing his work, he scolded her for not saying anything.

"You told me to shut up and then bandaged my face, including my mouth," she reminded him.

Natsu eventually gave up and Lucy assured her that she was okay. The nurse then arrived and took over while he waited for her in a corner. When the nurse was done, they both walked back to their classes.

"Sorry for bothering you," Lucy apologized softly.

He glanced at her with a surprised expression before morphing into something akin to frustration. "Why are you the one apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who hit you with the ball!"

"But it was an accident," she reasoned.

"Arrrrgghh, you're too nice!" He was pulling his hair again. Why was he angry that she was being nice? She wondered if he hated being treated nicely or was he just embarrassed? Putting aside the thought because she had no answer to it, she remembered that she still hadn't thanked him.

"Uhm, by the way, thank you for bringing me to the infirmary, for both times," she said gratefully, ignoring his outburst.

He finally stopped whatever he was doing with his hair, looking away. "You don't have to thank me."

"But-"

"Shut up and drop it!" he exclaimed with a very red face, stomping angrily ahead of her.

Unknown to her, that incident during her P.E. class only strengthened the rumor that she was dating the school's bad boy.

Aren't they cute? They are such an awkward couple in a very cute way. Lol.

Leave me a review? You'd make me very happy.

Okay, I'll be focusing on TDAHG now. XD

Oh by the way, good news! I'll be writing an alternate drabble series of this where Lucy is the bad girl. Curious? Excited? Would you read it? Lol
