Here is chapter four, in this chapter you'll have a little fluff between Natsu and Lucy. And I rated this story with T because it has some vulgar words (like bitch…) so I warned ya. And also I'm took advice to make my chapters longer. So this chapters has around 1,900-2,000 words. I'll try to make it even more longer.
I do not own Fairy tail. It all belongs to Hiro Mashima.
Chapter 4
After she got home, Lucy went straight to the shower. She was so angry she could kill somebody.
.And the feeling of hot water streaming down her body was the only thing that could calm her down.
Not warm, hot. Lucy was a calm type of person. No matter what the situation was she could handle it down with cool head.
Or that was the type of person she wanted to be. She can't be cool with having Natsu around! He makes her so mad she could scream every time she sees him. But he wasn't the only one who made her angry like hell..
Ring... Ring... Ring...
Through the apartment the sound of phone ringing echoed. Lucy quickly finished showering and with only a body towel hugging her body, ran to the telephone. Not even bothering to see the number of caller, Lucy picked up the phone.
"Hello? This is Lucy Heartfillia speaking" she said politely.
"Lucy, this is Minerva, your father's personal assistant speaking." Lucy heard one of voices she hated the most, the voice that made her sick. Lucy's mood became worse than before.
"Yeah, and?" Lucy said sounding bored and irritated.
"So the young bitch is irritated, isn't she? Well this isn't a pleasure for me. I was told… No commanded to call and inform you that your fiancée has been decided and about your behaviour..." Minerva started sounding bitchy and disgusting.
Lucy hated her ever since she was small because she was the cause of her mother's death and she never treated Lucy nicely. She always called her names just like this time. Lucy was fed up with the shit this bitch was spouting so she cut her off.
"Oh will you shut up already you fucking whore?! Just because you're fucking my father that doesn't give you the right to tell me what to do or how to behave! You think you can do something to me?! You really think so? Well, if you do you are so wrong! To my father, you're just his fucking toy. When he dies you'll get nothing! I'll get everything and I'll destroy you! You'll just find yourself on the streets wondering about your fucking life which you don't have! You can just go to hell together with my father! And tell him I'll listen to what he has to say when he decides to call me by himself and not you old hag!" Lucy shouted and hung up, throwing her phone on the other side of the room.
She was so furious! She just wanted to go and beat that bitch to her death. That whore and her father were the ones responsible for her mother's death. If he didn't cheat her mother with that ugly witch and make her worried all the time her mother wouldn't fall ill.
Her mother Layla Heartfallia had fragile health and her father knew it. But he didn't give a fuck about it. He only cared about money (which he had on throwing) umm, what does this mean? Resend me this document, okay? and himself...
Yeah, the other person making her lose her cool was her father, Jude Heartfilia, who she blamed for her mother's death. Her mother had died when she was 6 years old.
Lucy went to her bedroom, put on her pyjamas and went straight to her bed not even bothering to dry her wet hair. She didn't have strength to doing homework or studying. She was getting tired of every day's fights.
The next morning Lucy woke up with horrible headache. She was feeling weird and weak but she pushed all her feelings aside. She noticed her window open and quickly closed it.
"I'm an idiot! Only idiots leave their windows open through the night!" she thought.
She slowly got up feeling weaker with every movement she made. But as the strong person she wanted to be, she didn't let it bother her.
She slowly got ready for school, took a pill for her headache and trudged to school. It took her ages to get there and when she finally reached her school and eventually her class room, she just laid down on her desk.
"Morning, Lu-chan. It's unusual for you to sleep in school!" Levy said happily. Lucy didn't answer, she was really sleeping. That got Levy worried. She put her hand on Lucy's forehead. Her forehead wrinkled.
"Lu-chan, you're burning up!" Levy exclaimed, waking Lucy up. Lucy slowly turned her head to look at Levy and smiled.
"Morning, Levy-chan. What's up?" she said sounding really tired and exhausted.
"What's up with you? Why are you at school in the first place? You've got a fever!" Levy put her hand on her best friend's forehead once more making sure it wasn't just momentary.
Levy knew Lucy for two years now and she only had been sick once. And that time it was so extreme she needed to stay in hospital for two weeks! That's why Levy was worried. Erza told her that Lucy drinks vitamins every morning and leads healthy life so she doesn't get sick easily. She hates being sick.
"Burning up? But I don't see fire on me." Lucy started spouting nonsense. The whole class got around them.
"Lucy's sick? I bet she's faking it to get attention from the boys." Could be heard from the girls of the class.
" Lucy-san is sick? Who will take her to the health office? I will! No I will!" could be heard from the boys of the class.
While the boys were fighting over who would take her, one boy made his way towards Lucy, who now could not be woken up. The small drops of sweat had formed on her forehead which got Levy more worried.
"Is she all right? Did you try to wake her up?" a certain pink haired boy asked the worried blunette.
"I tried but she won't wake up." Levy said, all panicky.
"Calm down Levy. I'll take her to the health office and you take her stuff." Natsu said picking Lucy up bridal style.
Levy quickly took Lucy's bag and other stuff and ran after the Natsu and Lucy. It took a while for the boys to notice that Lucy was long gone and they were all disappointed.
"It's a typical flu." The school nurse said and Levy sighed in relief.
"I need her parents to pick her up." the nurse said and Levy and Natsu exchanged looks.
"But she lives alone. Her father is... overseas." Levy lied a bit. Lucy told Levy about her family situation and asked her to not tell anybody about it, even thought the family name Heartfilia was very famous. Lucy denied to every professor in school (except the headmaster who needed her parents agreement) about having any connections to the Jude Heartfilia.
"Oh... I see... Then I need someone who can take her home..." the nurse said looking confused.
"I'll take her home." Natsu volunteered, grinning.
"Do you know where she lives?" asked the nurse.
"Yeah, we live quite close. She's in Strawberry street and I'm a street away, in Dragon street." Natsu explained.
The nurse sighed and gave him the approval. He picked Lucy up and took her things slowly walking to her house which was relatively close. Levy got back to the class telling the teacher about the whole situation.
"Here we are." Natsu said while slowly unlocking the door of Lucy's apartment.
While walking through her apartment he the noticed broken phone on the floor. He smiled sadly. He quietly went in and put her on her bed in her bed room. Her apartment was really neat and tidy and smelled like her- of vanilla and strawberries. He smiled and put a blanket over Lucy.
He made his way to her kitchen and took some ice packs she had and put them on her forehead. After that, he decided to make her some rice pork. Natsu knew how bad it was when you're sick and there's nobody to take care of you.
Lucy woke up. When she got up fully, she realized that she was in her bed with ice packs on her forehead. 'Who put these on my forehead?' she thought while smiling to herself.
She heard plates breaking and she rushed to her kitchen. She saw Natsu picking up broken parts of a plate from the floor and some liquid with unknown ingredients boiling. She smiled at the view.
"Natsu what are you doing?" Lucy asked leaning on the wall opposite the kitchen platform.
"Cooking. What are you doing up? Sick people should lie in bed, resting." Natsu said, throwing all the pieces in the garbage.
"How can I rest with you in my kitchen?" Lucy said grinning, while Natsu pouted sadly.
"Go lie down. The pork will be ready in a few minutes." Natsu said, pointing towards her bed.
"That's pork?" Lucy said tauntingly, Natsu pouted and gestured towards her room one more time. Lucy smiled and went back to her room.
It was the first time in a really long time that she felt truly happy. Natsu may be an idiot but he has a kind heart and that was one of few things Lucy liked about him.
"The pork is here!" Natsu came into the room singing. Lucy smiled as she sat up. Natsu put the bowl with the white liquid on her lap. Lucy smiled at Natsu who was looking at her with anticpation but she was afraid of trying the pork.
"Itadakimasu!" she said putting her hands together. She slowly tasted a spoon of the dish placed in front of her. Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.
"This is good. Where did you learn to cook?" Lucy said, now hungrily eating the delicious pork.
"When you live alone for years you learn it either way" He smiled sadly.
"You live alone?" she looked surprised and he nodded.
"Me too" Lucy said.
"I know" he whispered.
"How?" Lucy looked at him in wonder. He freaked out in his head for a moment (she could't find out that he knew everything about her) but quickly found an excuse.
"Levy mentioned it in health office. She told the nurse your father's working overseas." Natsu said sounding understanding. Lucy smiled and continued eating.
Natsu went back home in the evening after he looked after Lucy and kept her company whole afternoon.
"Thank you, Natsu" Lucy said quietly as he closed her apartment door behind him. Natsu still heard her and smiled to himself.
Natsu got home around eight and went straight to bed. He was feeling happy and tired. His cat, Happy, got on his bed and sat next to him.
"Hello, Happy. Did you miss me?" he smiled while patting the cat's head. Happy purred cutely which made Natsu even happier. (What can I say? He's happy when others are happy).
But his happiness was washed away by just one telephone call.
"Yeah, I'm working on it..."
"…."
"Yeah I know the agreement"
"…."
"I don't need you to tell me!"
"…."
"Yeah, I'll make it in time!" he hung up his phone wanting to throw it just like Lucy did.
"I'm sorry, L. For lying to you." he said quietly and threw himself on his bed. Happy looked at him sadly, understanding his owner's feelings. He laid next to Natsu trying to comfort him.
Who's L. now? What must Natsu make in time? What lies does Natsu hold? Leave a review with your opinion.
