I don't know what this guy sees in me. I honestly don't know why he sticks around. I'm almost always rejecting his romantic gestures, and I constantly remind him of his permanent residency on my hit list.

So why?

Why does Natsu Dragneel favor me? Why is this strange boy always by my side? Why is he there at the times when I need him the most? Why is he constantly saving me, like he did now?

And why is he so gun-hoe about this idea on the two of us being together?

I mean c'mon, it's not like I have low self-esteem or anything, but just take a look at half of the girls that go to my school. They all look like Victoria secret models or something. Absolutely sexy. Not to mention any of them would give up their right arm just to have a date with Natsu.

And then, take a look at me.

I'm not knocking myself off or anything, but my face looks exactly like it did when I was five years old. Literally, if you look at my family portrait when I was five and mom was still here, then look at all recent selfie I took, you would see, I have the same little kid face, a cute kid mind you, but still. Kid face.

Whereas taking another look the girls at my school, they all these have mature, beautiful, adult looking faces, the slanted eyes that I wish I had, and their naturally perfect shaped eyebrows, you wouldn't even spare me a second glance. Sure, I have an generous amount of chest and curves, but so do the rest of the girls. Even the girls who have less chest than me I envy, because one, I heard when I get older my breasts would deflate like a pair of over blown balloons, two, these things always seem to attract the wrong attention even though I always wear baggy clothes, and three, they take alot to manage.

Honestly I think I'd be better off with a chest flatter than Levy's.

Lastly, if I was this perfect dream girl of his, as he keeps making me out to be from his fantasies, then why is it, that I want absolutely nothing to do with him? Yes, perhaps my attitude towards him may be a bit biased and I could maybe open my feelings to him a little bit and give him a chance, but so far he hasn't proven himself worthy of that either.

He's always toying with me, one minute the atmosphere between us is lightweight and friendly, the next minute he's got me pinned up a wall whispering sweet nothings on my skin, making me blush. Okay, maybe this didn't actually happen, but it is practically like that. I remember one particular incident.


Flashback

It was one school afternoon, I don't remember the day of the week, but he had just walked me home from school. Well, I walked while he, jumped treetop to treetop. But anyway, we were chilling in my room.

"Man Luce, is your room getting smaller, or is it just me?" He said flopping on the bed. I could hear the springs cry out in pain. I winced for them.

"Perhaps if you didn't freeload as much in my room, then you wouldn't be able to size it up every time you came over." I said.

"Aww, c'mon Luce," He came over and slung his arm over my shoulder, "We've been over this, your bed is like a gazillion times more comfortable than mine. That's why I love sleeping here, duh."

Yeah right.

"Stop making excuses," I removed his arm from around my neck. "Sleep in your own home!" But, I might as well have been talking to a brick wall, because Natsu plopped himself right back on my bed while I was speaking. Mavis.

Why can't I just get him to leave?

I sighed. "Hey, you thirsty?" I asked, after all he had been hopping from trees all afternoon to make sure I was safe. He lifted an eye lid to look at me. "Got any juice?" I smiled and nodded my head.

Curse my hospitality.

Now he'll never go home.

As I go out my room on my way to the kitchen, I noticed the mansion seemed very... vacant. I knew my dad was away at the time but even if by the odd chance he carried some of the staff with him, there would still be maids cleaning, or doing laundry, or the cooks would be cooking and all that good stuff. Things that my dad leaves for them to do.

Me, on the other hand I'm very independent. I don't like people doing things for me, especially things I probably can do on my own. And I know it drives the staff bat shit crazy. It always has. But that's just the way it is. I'm not going to change. After I retrieved a can of Bluebird Apple juice from the fridge, I turned around to be face to face with my personal maid, Virgo.

"Hello princess."

"Virgo, where's everybody else?"

"They all went to a party at Ms. Sphetto's old house."

"And didn't invite you?"

"I chose to stay. In case of emergency. In case I need to beat someone up."

"What?"

"Nothing. Anyway princess, ring your bell if anything goes wrong okay? If you're thirsty or hungry, or cough, rape, cough."

Yeah that's right. She didn't bother to cough, she just said the words cough.

"Okay then... thanks Virgo...?"

"You're welcome Princess."

I shivered as she disappeared into the darkness again. Virgo can be creepy as fuck when she's ready.

Absent-mindedly I walked back into my room. What I meet is a half naked Dragneel lying on my bed, no shirt, no shirt of any kind, steam eminating from his body, and towel was wrapped around his neck. Did he just take a shower in here?

"Did you just take a shower in here? Boy I know your nasty ass didn't just up and take a shower in my bathroom without my permission."

Ignoring me, he let out a moan, still lying on his back he turned to face the window. I face palm. Remember Lucy, brick wall, learn your lesson.

"Hey Luce my back is killing me," He says, "Can you give me a massage please?"

What I'd like to do is stick a pole up your ass, but we can't all get what we want, now can we? But my nicer half was tugging at me telling me to be nice considering how much he helps me. And my nicer half also reminded me how much I appreciated him. Damn. I hate the fact that she was right, curse my niceness.

So with a big sigh, and a heavy heart, I slowly began to massage his back, working my fingers into his back muscles. I moved ever so slowly around his back so to work out any knots and tension in his back, a trick my mom taught me. I didn't notice it at first but he was purring. Then it would occasionally switch to a little moan, then it would go back to purring again. He turned his head so it was facing me. His eyes opened slightly and looked at me. I blushed.

His eyes were shrouded in lust.

Maybe this was a mistake?

But before anything could really happen he began to move, so I stopped. He stretched and looked at me. "My back feels a million times better! Lucy you have the hands of an angel." I blushed.

"Thanks."

"Okay Luce, now lemme give you a back rub."

"Um, sure."

So I lay down, whiles he sat up and made an 'attempt' to give me a massage. God, I should have asked him if he knew how to give a massage first. He totally mutilated my spine with his violent karate chops. When I got up I felt like I was touched by a demon. I looked a Natsu's hands in terror, while he looked a his hands in pride. I bet he thought he did a good job. I tried to sit up, but my back!

I let out a small cry of pain.

"Lucy! Oh no, um, lay back down, I'll fix this."

I did as I was told. Then suddenly, Natsu touched my back, I winced. He looked around and his face lit up when he spotted something. He got a candle, took out a lighter from his pocket and put the candle on fire.

"Natsu put that candle out." I don't want to start any fires.

"I work better when something's on fire."

Well that's good to hear... in my house... in my room... full of flammable things.

Just as I started to protest Natsu started rubbing my back. I felt all the pain healing and the warmth of his hands on my back. Was he doing an act earlier? This boy knows how to massage!

My back felt...amazing. Let me just say, if Natsu felt like he got touched by an angel, then I got touched from God.

He suddenly stopped. So assuming he was finished I sang my praises.

"Natsu you have the hands of an angel! My muscles are so loose and you removed tension in my body I didn't even know was there! I turned around to be face to face with Natsu.

"What are yo-"

Within a span of 0.5 seconds he pinned me down on my bed and cut me off.

"Tell me Lucy, just what exactly you think would happen after I was done massaging your back?"

My heart stopped.

"Natsu what's wrong with you so suddenly?"

"I mean any guy in their right mind would want something after all that hard work."

His head was lost in the crook of my neck wherever his nose touched my skin it left a trail of goosebumps.

"Lucy, you smell really good. I could almost eat you up..."

"Natsu..."

"Tell me Luce."

"Tell you what?"

"Tell me what you were thinking when you let me in your house. A fully developed teenage boy, who's twice as strong as you and a fully working penis."

"..."

"If I wanted to rape you, I could do it right now."

"You wouldn't..."

"Didn't you tell me your room is soundproof?"

"Natsu, this isn't funny! Let me go right now!"

I tried to break free from his grip but shoots, it seemed like he had fists of steel.

"Don't bother struggling. You're muscles are all relaxed, you can't break free. So what are gonna do Lu?"

I stared at him. The question was, what was he gonna do to me?

"Natsu... I... I thought I could trust you..."

.

.

.

.

"I'm not going to do it. I just wanted to show you how dangerous a teenage boy can be."

What?

He climbed off of me and began gathering his stuff scattered around my room.

"It's a trick I learnt from Loke, once you massage a girl, you can basically get her to do anything. I just wanted to show you, so you would know better if any of them came asking for a massage."

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Oh yeah, I also exaggerated some of the cookies in your mini fridge. Peace."

He jumped out of my window before I could properly take in what had happened. When I did, I took a pillow and threw it after him.

"I hate you!"

Angry, I lay there quietly in the darkness for a while. I could feel the frown etched upon my face. Was I... disappointed he left? It can't be... can it? Don't I know already that Natsu's a tease, and any advances he makes on me, I know better now not to think anything of it. But didn't I always know that?

Aaargh!

Stupid Natsu, I know better than to do things like that with other boys! What do I look like huh? Besides...

I only did all that...

"For... you..."

I'm an idiot.

End of Flashback


He would always do things like that to me. He knows I blush easy, so he likes to flirt and tease and test his limits to see how far he can go with me before I finally push him away. I guess if anything I see Natsu as the annoying little brother type. Speaking of annoying, another thing that he likes to do to me that annoys the shit out of me is hoard me. I honest to goodness swear, it's like this boy is a... is a... he's like a dragon! That's what it feels like! Like he's a dragon and I'm his treasure and he's hoarding me away from the rest of the world. He doesn't like it when I talk and hang out with Gray and Gajeel, and he absolutely detests any time I spend with Loke, but Loke is actually an old friend of mine and I knew him longer than anybody else in that school so it's only natural I talk to him more right?

Apparently not.

He would always butt in and glare his friend down and drag me away, or call me his wife, or say something about me being off limits. Then, I'd have to stab him with my elbow, or jam my heel on his baby toe, or kick him where the sun don't shine. No, but seriously he acts as if I'm his property!

Now hypothetically speaking, let's just say we were a couple. Now, I'm not saying I want us to be a couple, or that I could live with the idea of us as a couple, or even imagine it in a pleasant light. No, just a hypothesis. Say we were dating, it wouldn't be fair for him to be so possesive of me, when he's by far the worst one out of the two of us. I swear he flirts with every moving breathing thing with a female gender. In fact, nobody can say my hatred and accusations of him are unjustified because I've caught him in the act.

Matter-of-factly, if I'm not mistaken that was also the first time we met. And it was then, the cycle started.


Flashback

The first day at my new school Fairy Tail High. I'm so nervous, I forget to breathe in and out every so often. I keep tip toeing, searching for my new friend who I made over the summer. Out of the sea of people, I spot her wild, blue mane. Just barely though, she's a really short girl.

"Levy!"

"Lucy!" We both ran out and hugged each other. "You're really here! You're actually at Fairy Tail!"

"Told you I was coming. Goodness, I'm just so glad to see you, Levy, you don't even know."

With casualties out of the way, we began roaming the halls, searching for the bulletin board that told all the 10th graders where their home rooms were. Every so often she'd point things out to me, like the bathrooms that only the misfits use, or the teachers who were the most hated among the students, or the classrooms where the teachers and administration would sit around and gossip.

During our mock tour, we saw a group of girls screaming and running past us.

"He's here! He's here! He's here! He's here! He's here!"

"Did he come to here really?"

"Who is this guy Sarah?"

"Who other than Natsu Dragneel silly! He's only the hottest boy in the entire existence of boys! And he's finally arrived at our high school!"

As the three girls ran off, I looked at Levy in cluelessness. I thought the hottest boy in the history of boys was Zac Efron. No wait... nevermind, definitely Zac Efron.

"Don't worry about them Lu, let's continue." And she pulled me away from those girls. Still, I couldn't help but turn around and wonder just who they were talking about.

Natsu Dragneel.

The next day after Levy and I discovered our homerooms, and that they were located on the opposite ends of our grade area I decided to walk to homeroom alone that day. I smiled inwardly to myself. I couldn't believe it.

I'm really attending the school of my dreams.

Whilst thinking these thoughts to myself and noticing that I was getting closer and closer to the number of the room I was supposed to be in, I noticed another stampede of girls.

They were running and screaming and -holy cow they're coming right for me!

At least that's what I thought. They ran straight past me and down the hall. I let out a huge sigh of relief. As I tried to see what the commotion was about, all I could see was their heads. But what I also saw was pink, spiky hair that looked like it belonged to a boy.

I swear, what's wrong with the chicks at this school? Looking back up I see a boy lying on the floor from the aftermath of their stampede. I go over to help him up.

"Hey there, are you alright?"

The kid looks at me and fixes his glasses.

"Hello?" I ask, getting a little annoyed.

"You're so pretty..."

I blushed at the compliment. Inwardly I patted myself on the back.

Alright Lucy, score! Yay me!

He took my out stretched hand and got up. "Sorry, it's just... I'm not used to pretty girls talking to me. My name is Dan by the way."

"My name's Lucy. Nice to meet you Dan."

We chitchatted a little more and he guided me to my homeroom.

When I turn around to my class, after waving goodbye to Dan I see a boy with pink spiky hair standing in the doorway of my homeroom.

Okay, forget everything I told you about Zac Efron. This boy standing in the doorway of my homeroom is the hottest boy in the existence of boys. I mean, this boy standing in front of me is a work of art, he is beautiful.

"Natsu are you coming inside?" I heard someone say.

This boy is Natsu Dragneel !

And he's in my homeroom?!

Go me.

But pink hair? An odd color, but it works for him.

The very next day, Levy finally told me the story of the notorious Heartbreaker Natsu Dragneel. I could, and couldn't believe my ears at the same time.

"Natsu is a big flirt. I've known him for years. We've been going to the same schools since preschool. Trust me Lu-chan, I'm your best friend, so take it from me, you do not want to to get involved with him."

Even with this warning I still couldn't stop my heart from fluttering, every time I could sight of his pink hair and cute face in the hall.

In fact, when I looked up after thinking that very same thing, I see his flamboyant pink hair and cute face.

I guess he sees me too. He gives me this confident looking smirk and my heart races a mile a minute.

Mavis, is this what love feels like?!

Days passed and soon ended the very first week of school. Back then, I was kind of "brand new" and didn't realize what I was doing or what was really going on.

So first thing Monday morning I came with my head all swollen cause I was sure that he liked me too. I didn't realize.

Because the first thing I saw when I walked into the school that morning. I saw him, he had a girl standing by the wall he was leaning over her and he used the exact same line on her as he used on me last Tuesday.

"Hey baby, I heard you're good at algebra, can you make my 'x' go away without asking y?"

That's when I realized he was a dirty, stinking player and from my anger I just shouted the first thing that came to my mind.

"Fuckboy!"

He and the girl turned around to see me storm off. I just don't know what came over me to make such a big scene back then. But I know he was embarrased it was the only thing the students could talk about since then. I don't know why everyone was so angry with me, I simply stated facts and called him out on it. Simple.

But despite all of that I was determined to still be the best I could be and make my Momma proud. But I don't know if she ever told me how to deal with annoying, stalker boys.

That's right he started stalking me.

Whenever I would go to classes, he's there, that time when I saved Dan from bullying, he was there, that other time when I saved a teacher from a vicious prank the students played on her, and when I won my award for the highest GPA in the 10th grade. But granted, the rest of the tenth grade was the too. But whatever, he saw everything.

At that moment I no longer wanted anything to do with him and his ways.

Oh Mavis, then it got worse. The bumping into me between classes thing, started. Mavis.

"Look Natsu, I don't like you. So please stop following me."

"Look I just wanna talk to you."

"Well I don't."

"Why?"

I didn't answer him. My contempt grew more and more for him seeing how many hearts he breaks daily. I realized he was only chasing after me for fun. And I told myself as long as I lived that I would never like Natsu Dragneel. Ever.


So there you have it. My two cents on the situation. These are the reasons why I think Natsu and I wouldn't make a good match, why I don't romantically like Natsu Dragneel, and also why I hate him in the first place.

.

.

.

Who am I trying to kid?

Now that I know Natsu a little bit better now, and I think I can say in all honesty that Natsu's one of the most kindest, generous, honest, sweetest, a bit overprotective, way too cocky, and a little goofy, but that's what makes him funny, guys I know. Wow, did I really just say that? Yeah I guess I did. But I guess because it's true (Not that I'll ever admit this to him to feed his already overly inflated ego). And I only said all that stuff earlier because I'm well, a little insecure. Who would've guessed huh? I mean surely someone so nice with a face like that couldn't be attracted to someone like me. Not only am I as plain faced as they come, but I have a terrible attitude problem. So the question remains, why does he like me? Even as a friend.

I was derailed from my trail of thoughts by a knock on the door. Right, I'm still in the hospital on accident emergency after almost getting raped yesterday. The knocking on the door ensued. I hope it wasn't my father again, he already came in and said what he needed to say. I reached over and pressed the button that activated the intercom outside. It kind of worked like a walkie-talkie.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Miss Lucy, you have a visitor."

"Let them in."

After that the door buzzed open, by the nurse followed by Natsu.

"Natsu!" I felt my face light up as he entered the room. He saw me and plunged right into my open arms, which by the way I didn't even know when I extended them. "Luce!" He cried, "Thank god you're awake!" He hugged me so tightly, the air was literally squeezed out of me. But I didn't care, I was just so glad to see Natsu after everything that happened. I hugged him back as tightly as I could to return the favor.

"I missed you."

We both slightly parted from the hug to stare at each other. Then I noticed Natsu looking particularly suprised and a slight blush dusted his cheeks. That's when I realized that I said those words. A deep blush engulfed my cheeks. We both looked at each other then I looked at the floor, then back at him again, then back at the floor but I glanced at him one more time, then...

"Ahem." The nurse broke us out of our trance. Natsu turned to her, annoyed.

"What?!"

The nurse rolled her eyes and left. "You're welcome."

The awkward silence that followed right after she closed the door made me wish Nurse Lily never left. Natsu and I separated.

"You know, before you leave, you should really go apologize to that nurse for being so rude."

He didn't answer me. He just kept his face turned and his head down. I leaned my head to see what he was trying to hide from me.

I chuckled.

He had this cute looking pout on his face, still irritated I presumed and a light blush on his cheeks. He looks like a child angry at his parents. I couldn't help it, it was too funny, I burst out in fits of laughter. He stopped confused for a minute and laughed along with me.

I bet the idiot didn't even know what he was laughing at. But that's okay, since he was only laughing with me. When we were finally done with our laugh fest and settled down, he began freaking out.

"Lucy are you alright?! You don't look like you're on your deathbed so that's good. The surgery went well I take it. But I hate that there are stitches in your forehead because of them. Damnit Lucy I'll kill the bastards who did this to you!"

"Natsu, Natsu, Natsu... calm down!"

"I can't calm down! I... can't calm down. I was worried sick about you Lucy. Ask Erza."

He took his arms and wrapped them around me again. But this time the hug was different. Like a welcome home hug, a hug full of warmth and emotions. A hug that was full of love. A hug that made my cheeks get warm. A hug that went on for a little too long.

He really cares about me.

Which makes me feel worse, considering I'll never care for him the way he does for me. Which makes me go back to what I was saying earlier. Which makes me wonder... why?

I pushed Natsu off of me. "Say, Natsu." I was hesitating under his confused stare. But I had a burning desire on the inside. I needed to know.

"What do you think of me?"

There was a long silence. Then the jerk decides to flick me in my forhead with his fingers.

"Ow!" My hands were already on my head massaging the sore spot. "What was that for?!"

"For asking a stupid question."

"?"

"Obviously, I think you're amazing."

I stare at him. And anxiously he continues.

"Your so strong, going through what you have to go through yet still finding the time to smile and talk and not feel down. I wish I could be as strong as you. When my dad left me, I was just about ready to give up on life. I'm so lame."

I cracked a smile at his little remark.

"And not only that, you're kind, and," (He blushes here, and I don't think I've ever seen him blush so much before) "You're extremely beautiful. You have a heart of gold, unlike alot of weak minded, shallow chicks who goes to our school. You're smart and always always putting me in my place. You're fun and quirky sometimes, you're sassy and sarcastic other times and that's a trait I find I love about you. You're confident and not afraid to speak your mind. Not to me not to anyone."

I kinda wished that last one was true. I'm still afraid to speak my mind to my dad.

"Luce, your kind, generous, honest, caring, loyal, smart, beautiful, independent by all means, and you're awesome to be around."

I blush fiddling with my fingers in the bed. This is embarrassing.

"Overall I'd say you're just about the opposite of me. That's why I'm never going to stop chasing you Lucy. I'm not going to stop no matter how many times you turn me down, or say you hate me I won't stop caring for you or Being there for you-"

"Natsu please stop."

"No Lucy, let me finish."

And I did.

"I stay up late at night thinking about you, and when I do sleep I dream about you. There are times when I wish I could just take you and lock you away forever so no more bad things could happen to you. Yeah, I sound crazy but that's just how much I care about you."

I felt my eyes pooling in with tears. Damnit! I knew I shouldn't have let him finish. There was anot her silence in the room as I turned around to wipe my eyes without him seeing. Damnit! His words have reduced me to tears

"Come here." I say.

"Don't hurt me!" He squeaks out, raising his arms and his legs in defense.

In that split second, I pulled him towards me, ignoring his plea for mercy, and gingerly gave him a peck on the nose.

He stared at me awestruck and surprised. "Lucy..."

With my cheeks on fire, I huffed an turned around.

"Don't get any ideas Dragneel."

At this point my nose is high in the air.

"You're still not my type."
