[WARNING! THIS IS NOT A CONTINUATION OF LUCY HAVING AN AMNESIA OR SOMETHING. THIS IS A SHORT (VERY LATE) CHRISTMAS ONE SHOT (well actually a two or may three part chap.) (A FLASHBACK) ABOUT LUCY'S 2ND CHRISTMAS IN THE DRAGONEEL HOUSEHOLD! ^_^]
.
.What I want for Christmas is.
Its a beautiful morning, the morning breeze is chilly and the air is a bit foggy, the sun is up and shining bright already and in just four days it will be Christmas already. But for now loud footsteps can be hear all over the garden.
"Natsu! Wait for me! Natsu!" Yelled by the 11-year old Lucy as she ran after a pink haired lad.
"No way! You have to catch me since your IT" Natsu said smiling broadly as he ran faster than the blond.
" . No More." Lucy said as she stop on her tracks while panting "I'm tired"
"Eh~ Lucy your such a party pooper. C'mon where's your stamina?" Natsu said "At this rate you can't become my bodyguard"
"What!? I don't want that!" Lucy said with a pout making Natsu smile at her cuteness.
"If you don't want that then lets continue playing tag" Natsu said.
"But...I'm so tired. I can't even stand anymore" Lucy said as she plop herself on the grass "Besides Natsu's so unfair!"
"Huh? In what way I am being unfair?" Natsu asked
"Its because you're already an adult and I'm still a child. And...and...ummm...-"
"Aaaaaaand?" Natsu said in a teasing manner.
"And...Natsu is older than me and is a...a boy so you can ran faster than me!" She said with her cheeks still red from all the running.
"Hmm...So your telling me that I should go easy on you because your a girl?" Natsu said, still teasing her
"No! Its not that! Its because Lyon said that boys should be gentle and nicer to the girls" Lucy said that. And upon hearing the name of another guy coming out of her mouth, Of course the 15-year old Natsu doesn't like it one bit. Specially when its Lyon Vastia, Grey's cousin. Seems like the three of them went back way before and that Natsu went through a lot because of Lyon.
"Since when did you meet Lyon?" Natsu asked
"Huh? Uh..Well Erza introduce him to me last month then we exchanged numbers and mail each other from time to time." Lucy said making our dear Natsu widen his eyes in shock. He felt himself gaping and some sort of eruption is happening inside of him. Calm down. Calm down. Relax. Inhale. Exhale. Natsu said in his mind as he try to calm himself. Then after taking a long breath he tried asking Lucy with a smile on his face. "So Lucy...why did you give your number to him and who gave you the thing called cellphone who is the root of all evil!?"
"Huh? Natsu? what wrong with you and that scary smile?" Lucy asked nervously.
And Natsu just smiled at her creepily.
"Uh...well he just force himself to get my number and it just happened."
"Hmmm."
"Be...besides it was you who gave me a phone. You said you have to call me every hour every day to check up on me or something?" Lucy said as she backed away a bit from the Natsu who is smiling weirdly.
Natsu's POV.
Hmm...wait a sec. I did gave her a phone last summer since that time we were supposed to go to Okinawa for a week because of a school trip and that I just need to hear her voice or something...
...
...
...
WAIT!?
Did I said that a loud? on MY mind? Why? Why do I need to hear her voice?
Natsu-SUBCONSCIOUS: Hi! its me a fifteen year old Natsu-Subconscious. ^^ ITS BECAUSE YOU LIKE HER. YOU PEDO.
What? Me like that brat?
Natsu-SUBCONSCIOUS: Well duh. Your like boiling in jealousy because you heard about Lyon.
Am NOT!
Natsu-SUBCONSCIOUS: Dude just admit it. You like her. in a ROMANTIC way.
...
...
"Natsu!? Hey!? Natsu!" Lucy said disturbing me and my so called subconscious from a so called debate whether I like Lucy or not? Well I mean I do like her but is my being possessive towards her and not letting her go to school is because I like her in a romantic way?
"Hey Natsu! You still there?" Lucy said as she waves her small hand in front of my face.
"Uh..yeah. So lets go inside and have breakfast" I said.
"Yippee! I'm starving y'know!" She said with that smile on her face and as walk inside she grab my hand. I realize how small and fragile looking her hands were and how cold it become. Without a second thought I squeezed back her hands. "Your hands are freezing. Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. "Eh? really I didn't notice!" Lucy said "I'm sorry. You must be feeling the coldness." And she was about to let go of my hand when I grab it before she could even let go. "I'm fine. Besides I'm not feeling cold or anything I could at least warm up... your baby fingers" I said. Damn it...! What am I saying? I mean...warm up what? Urgh... damn it...I sound like some cheesy dude out there whose already forty.
"I don't have baby fingers!" Lucy said with a pout.
And without thinking I found myself poking her red-ish cheeks. "Oh..will you look at that! its not just your fingers that are baby-like. Also your cheeks"
"Mmmph. Natsu you meanie!" Lucy said as she sticks her tongue out.
"Yup. Yup. Anyway lets hurry up inside I bet Lucas made some hot chocolate." I said as I squeeze again her hands and something unexpected happen Lucy squeezed back, smiling at me. Aaaaaaaaaaand now I'm blushing.
Blushing like a teenage girl.
Ack! What wrong with me!?
Do I really like her in a romantic way?
End of Natsu's POV
After having there breakfast the two went to there perspective rooms. For Lucy it was to begin her training and lessons same with Natsu even thou he is going in a school he still need to have a home tutor for somethings which is according to Lucas is a must. So the manor of the Dragoneel's is quiet for a while. And the only person who might enjoy such silence is Lucas. As he skips his way, yes he is skipping his way. To do his daily check around and also for the preparations for the upcoming Christmas party to be held on the Christmas Eve.
As he does it he suddenly heard rumors about Natsu, making him stop on his tracks.
"Hey. Lucy-sama is adopted right?"
"I guess so. Or maybe she'll be Natsu-sama's bride!"
"Huh?"
"I mean look at them! Natsu-sama seems to be attracted to Lucy-sama and besides if she's really adopted then shouldn't she be calling Natsu-sama "onii-chan" or something right?"
"Maybe but...is that alright I mean won't it hurt the image of the Dragoneel?"
"Hey! That Dragoneel your talking about isn't paying you two to chit-chat." Lucas said as he step in.
"Yes. We're sorry!" The two maids said
"Then hurry up and back to your work!" Lucas exclaimed, sighing to himself he went back to his work.
Lucas' POV
Hmm. Finally some peace, I'm so glad those two are having there lessons now. Finally we can get things ready for the Christmas Eve party. Tralalalala~
"Pfftt..Natsu-sama..."
Huh? What was that? Are they talking about Natsu-sama?
"Hey. Lucy-sama is adopted right?"
"I guess so. Or maybe she'll be Natsu-sama's bride!"
"Huh?"
"I mean look at them! Natsu-sama seems to be attracted to Lucy-sama and besides if she's really adopted then shouldn't she be calling Natsu-sama "onii-chan" or something right?"
"Maybe but...is that alright I mean won't it hurt the image of the Dragoneel?"
"Hey! That Dragoneel your talking about isn't paying you two to chit-chat." I said as I step in.
"Yes. We're sorry!" The two maids said
"Then hurry up and back to your work!" I exclaimed, obviously I'm annoyed by this two.
Sigh, I have to do something before weird rumors start to spread. I can't let this useless gossips affect Igneel-sama and Natsu-sama.
Yes. Tonight I must talk to Lucy!
With that I began my rounds, checking every inch of the mansion.
End of Lucas' POV
Lucy's POV
Wuu...my muscles hurts TvT
That last two shot graze my arm that's why its hurting more wuuu...
"Lucy-chan are you alright?" the instructor asked me.
"Umm..Yes." I replied with a smile to assure him I'm fine.
"Hmm..it seems like the level of our training is too hard for you...Maybe I should lessen it for a bit and put it to 50"
"What!? No way! Please! Don't!" I yelled frantically, ignoring the throbbing pain in my arm.
"But...Lucy I really think that you are doing well. I mean at your age? plus your still a girl. You have to protect yourself since your a girl"
"..."
"Oh please Lucy, don't look sad. With the way things are even if we lower the level of the training you will still be a good body guard"
"still be good? Sir. I'm sorry but being good won't cut it! I have to be the best! The perfect body guard for Natsu-sama!" I exclaimed "And I want to be a real body guard in order for me to serve him as soon as possible." As I waited for him to answer back, I was trembling in fear because it is the first time I raised my voice to him.
"Sigh...okay I get it or rather I give up." He said "If you really insist on that then I suggest you polish your basic skill more and do more of the moving object exercise in order for you to keep up with the course"
Upon hearing his words, I exclaimed happily "Yes! Sir! Thank you sir!"
"Okay..now you may take your leave. Go have a shower and rest" he said as he bid his good bye.
As I happily walk down the corridor, to head to my room I noticed Lucas-sama was staring at me, or wait...did he wait for me here!?
"Lucy" he started.
"Umm..Yes!?"
"I'll be frank, I want you to keep your distance from Natsu-sama."
"Yes?"
"Sigh. I'm telling you to stop befriending Natsu-sama!"
"Wh...why?" I asked. Ever since I came here only this person, Lucas Rook is the person I'm scared at...He's the person I FEAR the most. Because I know he never wanted me to be here.
"What are you in this house?"
"Um...a body guard in training"
"That's right. And a body guard is also the same as a (lowly) servant (like you) right?" He said while smiling. As if he's pointing out something.
"..."
"I take your silence as a yes okay? Don't go near Natsu-sama!" he exclaimed.
"Is...is that an order?" I asked, as I lowers my head because I'm afraid any minute now I might cry in front of this man.
"Yes. It is" He said as I feel his strong gaze at me. "Now you may leave"
As his footsteps echo around the hallway. I only stood there...frozen at the spot. From my fears of this man...there was nothing I could do or say. But follow his command.
"a servant like you"
"Natsu-sama"
"A lowly servant like me. huh." I said, as if whispering it to the wind.
His words hit me like a giant cannon ball.
And just like a cannon ball it did its purpose...it hurt me like hell.
I know! I know! I understand that I'm just a measly servant and that I'm not fit to be Natsu's friends
I understand it already for along time now. I know my place in this house.
I know.
I'm just a body guard...
Natsu...bye bye.
Meanwhile our dear pink haired lad is still busy debating his feelings for HER. The girl who drives him crazy...
