Chapter 2
Lucy PoV
Okay.
You know, I never asked to be involved with this.
I never did, never wanted to.
But it's clearly all his fault.
I was only living my average life, just chatting with Levy about the latest scrolls in a scroll shop, when all of a sudden this pink haired dude charges in, spots me, throws me over his shoulder, and then races out!
Did you see Levy's face?! She was beaming! Beaming, I tell you! She had hearts in her eyes! She even mouthed "Good luck" to me!
When he finally put me down in a quiet area, and he held onto my shoulders firmly, and looked me in the eye.
"Do you remember me?" he asked.
If you thought that this was going to be one of those, cheesy, cliche, romance scenes, you're wrong.
I mean yes, I did blush, but it's not an everyday thing where a guy puts his face really close to yours so I would consider my reaction justified.
So of course, being the logical person I am, I stared back at him with a straight face and kicked him in the nuts.
His pupils went dilated, and he crumbled to the ground, clutching his nether regions.
"Who the fuck are you, creep?!" I glared.
I almost never curse, but sometimes you just have to make a point.
He groaned in response, so I just walked off.
But of course, no, that wasn't the end of it like I had hoped.
I heard footsteps behind me after a while, and I sighed exasperated, pausing my footing.
"Stop following me already, stalker, it's pretty obvious that you are stubborn for a person I've never even me- mmph!"
A hand had clamped over my mouth, and I had blacked out.
So.
Yes.
I was kidnapped, and here I am now, tied up and gagged.
I shouldn't have let my guard down, but see, the pink haired guy made me really riled up and because of that, I am now being held for ransom.
And that's why this is now all his fault.
I am annoyed.
Majorly annoyed.
The fact that they had the common sense to bind my arms and my legs, meant that they knew I knew how to defend myself.
And now, I had no way to use my weapon.
Great.
Just when I was trying to figure out a plan to get myself out, I heard a crash on the right.
I looked up in surprise, and then spotted him.
That pink haired guy, the whole reason why I'm here.
My eyes narrowed, and when he saw me, he untied the gag around my mouth.
I spat at his face. "You set this whole thing up, didn't you?!"
He blinked. "Huh?"
"You planned this all out, didn't you?!"
He sighed. "Look, I'm-" His face hardened, and he then suddenly turned and punched one of the captors behind him.
They were surprised, almost as if they were trying to attack him as discreetly as possible.
I frowned. So I guess he's not with them.
When he was done beating them up (not sure what to call going into rage mode and just kind of destroying the place and the kidnappers), he untied my arms, and I crossed them over my chest.
"So, if you're not with them, you're a stalker, aren't you? You couldn't have possibly just found me here on coincidence!"
He scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Er... well... you see... I can kinda sense your prese- I- I mean, I can kinda er... s-smell you?"
I deadpanned. "Oh really? From hundreds of feet, if not miles, away?"
"Uhh...Y-yeah, kinda sorta?"
I mentally facepalmed.
Is this guy serious?
All of a sudden, his eyes widened, and he enveloped my frame with a giant hug and spun me around.
I frowned. "What the hell are you-"
I then heard the sound of a blade piercing through skin, and blinked. I felt the guy's blood soak through my silk kimono.
My eyes widened as I understand what just happened, and I whipped out my metal-fan placed in the waistband of my kimono, and stabbed the remaining captor who tried to attack me.
I sighed, and watched as the pink-haired guy and almost-dead kidnapper both sink to the floor, with both of their blood seeping through their clothes to the ground.
The pink-haired guy was still slightly awake, and he smiled at me. "You're safe..."
I stared at his injury, and seeing it as not very minor, I looked at him. "What's your name?"
He grinned. "It's Na... tsu..."
"Well, Natsu, I'm Lucy. Seeing as you did save my life, I guess I'll just have to patch you up at my house as an apolo-"
He was knocked out cold.
No point in finishing my "sorry speech" then.
I sighed, and heaved him over my shoulder, and I became very aware about how tall and muscular he was.
I couldn't help but sigh again. "How could a guy like this take down multiple people and yet not be able to fend for himself?"
I was about halfway home (which took quite a while thanks to this guy) and then heard,
"LU-CHAN!"
I looked up, and smiled, finally seeing someone that I actually knew. "Levy. Help me out here. We're going to patch up his injuries at home."
The bluenette blinked, but smiled. "Alright."
"So!" Levy started cheerily. "Your name was Natsu, was it?"
He blinked. "Y-yeah it is... um wait, where exactly am I?"
"You're currently in the Heartfilia household! We decided to patch up your injuries, seeing as you were bleeding, and that you did save Lu-chan's life!"
He blinked again. "Lu-chan...?"
I sighed. "That'd be me."
He blinked, and then stood abruptly, pointing at me. "EH?! You are?! But I thought your name was... er... wait, what was your name again?"
I smiled, feeling my eyebrow twitch. "It was Lucy."
He nodded, brightening. "Right right, your name was Luigi!"
I felt a bulge on my forehead. "It was Lucy."
"That's right, it was Lucy! So it was Lu-chan after all!"
I glared. "It's just Lucy, creep!"
He smiled awkwardly. "..You're scary Luigi..."
"For the last time—"
"Ah, Lu-chan, be nice to him. He was your savior, after all!"
I pinched the inner corners of my eyes. He wasn't my savior. If anything, he was the main reason why I got into that situation.
She brightened. "I know! You must be hungry, Natsu. Would you like something to eat?"
All of a sudden his behavior changed, and he stared at Levy. "Are you an angel? No, a goddess? Actually, are you my savior?!"
She laughed. "Aha, I wish, but that'd be you, in this case. I'll be right back!"
*presents with plain rice and few toppings*
Levy smiled awkwardly. "S-sorry... I just realized that the rest of the servants just went shopping right now. T-this is all we have..."
Natsu stares at it, his eyes sparkling, and shoveled a spoonful of food into his mouth.
Wait.. You have got to be kidding me… He's crying tears of joy?!
"..."
I could only assume Levy was thinking the exact same thoughts as I was..
"Thish ish sho delishoush! What did you put in thish?!" he exclaimed while eating.
"Er..."
A knock sounds on the door. "Lucy, is the young man awake now?"
I mentally hit my head on the wall at the sight of his messy eating. "Unfortunately, yes."
"Good, good!" My dad entered the room, and he smiles at Natsu. "So, I heard you were the young man that saved my daughter!"
Way to be straight to the point, Dad.
""Yesh I am shir. Kinda. I shink. Ah, can I get more foodsh pleash?!"
"Well this man sure knows how to eat!" My dad laughed. "I've decided! He's perfect for you, Lucy!"
"Wait wait wait-" I pulled him aside, and glared at him. "I don't want to marry this guy, Dad! We barely met! You don't even know him! You even said that I could choose my future hus—"
He just laughed. "No no, dear Lucy, I meant that he's perfect to be your bodyguard!"
Now I'm not sure if that's better than marrying him...
"Wait... how does him eating a lot have to do with protecting me?"
"Hahaha! I knew it, you like him too, don't ya, Lucy?~"
I blinked. Are you ignoring me? Okay, let's try Plan B.
"Dad… please. You know that I can take care of myself. I don't need a bodyguard. You of all people should know that. I'm your daughter after all."
"So, young man, do you have a job?"
He's already talking to him! Is he ignoring me on purpose?!
"No shir, I do not. I neber hash one eishur," Natsu responded, still talking with even more food in his mouth.
My dad beamed. "Then that's perfect! You're hired!"
I blinked. "Wait a minute, what?"
Natsu gulped down the last scoop of rice, and then turned to us. "So, what were you two talking about again?"
I glared at his stupidity, and my dad pat Natsu on his back. "Since you're Lucy's bodyguard and have to be with her all the time, you'll be living with us. Levy, prepare the spare room we have for this young man, alright?"
Levy nodded. "Yes sir." She scurried away.
Natsu blinks. "Wait wait wait… what? Hold up… I didn't agree to any of —"
"No worries, Natsu, was it? You'll be fine!"
He stares at him in petrified shock, and I sighed, giving up, and stared at him.
"Resistance is futile," I simply stated.
A snicker sounded through the room… Kind of a cat-like snicker…? Is there even such a thing? There weren't any cats in the area and I was pretty sure cats didn't laugh—
My thoughts got cut short when Levy re-entered the room.
Levy gave a quick wink at me. "Lucy, I need to go check on the laundry right now… Why don't you take Natsu to his new room?"
Before I could object, she skipped on out and left Natsu and I alone in the room.
I sighed for the millionth time today.
"I guess I have no choice… "
I turned and looked back at Natsu who was staring back at me.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Let's go see your new room now, shall we?", I say with a half-smile.
