When people ask me what I do for work, they're always surprised and say 'I never expected it' as they think I'm too young. But at work, people always think I'm a lot older than what I am. Is it because I'm a small bean? Sad times… another short chapter, so I apologies ;-; have a good day~

To DorkyMonster707: So to summarise it, Natsu just messed up people's lives for a while. He tried to force his feelings of unrequited love on to the girl he liked, pushed his best friend out of the way in order to do so. Then when his best friend was getting over things and starting her life again, he proceeded give her a (in a light term) 'forced' kiss, and hurt her all over again. Thanks for reading~

To 21jhauptman: ahhhh hello ^_^ I'm sorry for the cliff hangers…? It's possibly the only thing I'm ok at =-= I hope you enjoy this chapter! However, … who said it was Lucy? 0.0 I do hope that was unexpected! Please tell me if it's any good ~ thank you for reading~

Chapter 10

Time: 11:05am Date: 1st June **** (present) Place: Fairy Tail College/ University

Perspective: 3rd person/Natsu Dragoneel

"For anyone to come find me, I didn't expect you."

"Don't be so full of yourself, I'm here for the view and fresh air." She moved closer, from the direction she was walking you would've expected her to walk straight into him. Instead she just gently brushed past, neither of them cared about it, neither willing to change their positions.

"But now that you've said it, I might as well ask." She turned to look at him, leaning back on the fence where he once was and tilted her head up, the height difference was large and she almost had to strain her neck. "So, what are you doing here Natsu?"

Giving her a quick side glance, before resting on the fence next to her, and turned his gaze back to the scene in front of him.

"I really don't think that's your business, Mavis."

Her smirk caught his eyes, it was childish, a sign of youth. But he knew her better, he knew she had plans and that being years older than him allowed her to know things which he didn't. Mavis was one of the few who could out smart him, manipulate him without him even knowing before it was too late. Yet they knew each other, and that changed the bar. They were close to family and the only time she would use her skills against him was when she knew something was wrong. She was always one for justice and purity.

"Now, now. There's no reason for you to feel as though I'm against you. Just kill my curiosity." It was a statement, not a question. And he wouldn't go against her, they both knew that.

Taking out another cigarette, he slowly placed it in his mouth and shuffled the box, so one more would appear before offering it to the smaller blonde, to which she declined. Pulling out a lighter, he hesitated before gently placing the flame near the end.

"She's back, Mavis. And to make it worse, she doesn't even look at me."

He felt a twinge in his heart, a gentle tug on a string he never knew was there. He expected her to gasp, have widened eyes and be speechless, but she was none. Instead he had heard a small hum in acknowledgement.

"Are you sure about that?" The smirk had stayed, implying she knew of things he didn't.

"What are you planning Mavis?" He lifted himself again, peering properly into her eyes to read her. Lucy had only been back for a couple of hours (from what he had seen anyway). So how had she already set up her tactic of an unknown plan surprised him. Her appearance was always one which caused people to underestimate her, but her power over others wasn't something to be messed with.

"It seems as though we have a new neighbour, that's all." She watched for his reaction and when satisfied, headed for the door. "Me and Zeref will be home tonight, and I have no doubt you'll be there too." Without further notice, she opened the door and left.

But Natsu was too busy comprehending the infomation he had just received. Why would she do that? She knew that's where he had lived, he had never moved.

Lucy was his neighbour.

So did anyone expect Mavis? To me, she and Zeref won't be too big in this story, but will appear when necessary. If you want to know why she is more powerful than Natsu then I believe it's because she's been like this longer, her and Zeref are the couple of good and evil, they have the most influence on the surroundings and people. I hope you enjoyed this chapter feel free to leave a review.
