Gomen for not updating in a while! I just haven't had the time! Gomen! I will try to update atleast once a week. Spring Break is next week for me, so that means I will have more time to do stuff! I can make one-shots, update this story, update my other one, and maybe start a new one. I've been trying to write a FullMetal Alchemist one, but I don't have any ideas. Anyway...
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. If I did, then every badass person, would be less bad ass and look like shit. I can only draw Chibi's. I also do not own any other things in here that aren't of my possession...? I don't know what I'm saying.
Now to the story!
Lucy P.O.V.
I wander what Natsu wants me to meet him for? He could of just asked me at the guild. Unless it was something private. Oh God, then I don't know what I will do. Natsu and I have been kind of...'off' lately. Things have been more awkward around us.
I shouldn't worry to much about it...I think. It's just Natsu. He's my best friend, and I should respect his...desires?
Well, there are still a few hours till sunset, I could go to the bookstore, the local magic shop. I could just wander around town with no precise destination even. Or...I could go train.
I've been meaning to find some time to train, to strengthen my magic and durability. That could wait, I don't want Natsu to see me...never mind. I'll just go to the guild.
When I got to the guild, Mira had a happy/evil smirk on her face. I wasn't sure whether I should be scared or not. I approached the bar with extreme caution.
"Hey Lucy!" Mira said to me joyfully.
"H-hi, Mira. What are you so happy about?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing." she said, trying to make my curiosity disappear.
"Ok then. Can I get a soda and apple?" I asked.
"Sure thing." she said, and rushed off to take care of my order.
She brought them to me, I payed her, and left. I slipped the apple and soda into my bag which I had brought. Then I went off to the bookstore.
"This one is called 'Romeo and Juliet'. It's a tragic love story that most girls love to read." the bookstore clerk said to me.
I wanted to buy a new book, but I had so many of them, that there weren't much to choose from.
"I've already read that. Any other books?" I asked, quite bored.
"We have this one called 'How to kill a mockingbird'. Does that interest you?" he said, desperately trying.
"Read it three times already." I said as I looked at my watch. 4:30. I had till 6 to screw around.
"Do you have any...dragon books? Like, ones about dragons?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yes we do."
So I bought a book about dragons out of sheer impulse and curiosity. I wanted to know more about them and later give it to Natsu maybe, not that he would actually read it. I walked about of the store and over to the river at the edge of town. I sat down at a tree and watched the river flow on through. I took my apple about of my bag, and began eating it. I brought my book out and started reading.
Dragons, long ago, were the birds of the sky. Humans greatly worshipped them. Blah Blah Blah.
I didn't care for this intro stuff, even though I am a bookworm. (But not like Levy)
I turned a few pages and landed on one about a dragons mating season. I didn't know dragons had a mating season.
A dragons mating season comes once every year. (No shit Sherlock) When a dragon finds its mate, they will place the 'mark' on them. They will be attracted to only that dragon for as long as the dragon conducts. Shall the 'mark' be rejected by the mate after mating, the dragon will lose all capability of loving, and shed it's 'dragon tear'. It will then die slowly away, as it's energy becomes one with the universe.
I shut the book. Is this stuff even true? Lots of books about dragons were fiction, right? There is no way this could be real. Even if it was, would dragon slayers have a mating season also? I feel like I'm intruding on personal business about dragons. Maybe I shouldn't give this to Natsu, or let him see it, or know about it. I took another bite of my apple.
I decided to just sit and relax by the river until sunset. I checked my watch again. 5:00. I still had a while or so till I had to leave. Wait a minute. It looks like sunset right now. Usually sunset isn't until 6, well whatever the reason on my time mess up, Natsu would be waiting for me right now. I put the dragon book on the very bottom of my bag and packed everything else on top of it. I started running to the sakura trees. At the speed I was going, I got there in a solid 10 minutes or so.
I started looking around for Natsu. That was kind of hard during this time of year when the sakura trees started blooming.
"Lucy!" I heard someone call. It sounded like Natsu.
I ran towards the voice. I could see Natsu just a few feet away. But what I couldn't see was a tree root in my path. I continued running, but, of course, I tripped over the tree root. Natsu turned around just in time to see me fall. Well he didn't just see it, he experience it too.
I fell on top of Natsu, and we fell in that kind of position. We both just stared at each other. When we realized what happened, we both blush. I got up off him and he got up also. We kind of looked away from each other, blushing.
"S-So Lucy..." Natsu said, a bit...nervous, was it?
"Yeah?" I responded.
"The reason I wanted you to meet me here is because, um..." Natsu said, rubbing the back of his head.
"What is it?" I asked, very persistently. I must know what this is.
"Well, I was wandering if...I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to! I'm not forcing you." Looks like Natsu is nervous.
"Just tell me! I am your best friend Natsu." I said, trying to make him feel more confident. I swear if he was going to ask me out, I would...I don't even know.
"Okay. Lucy, will you go out with me?" Natsu asked. And as he asked it, he blushed a bit, and I could feel my face heating up.
I stood there, shocked. Not sure what to do.
Author's Note: Haha suckers! Cliff hanger! I won't update for a few days or so, so that means this will probably pester you. I love trolling my readers, just like Hiro Mashima. The whole dragon mating thing, is made up. You guys probably know that. It's everywhere on fan-fictions. And yes, I am copying whoever started this and others, but I put a twist on it. The whole 'dragon tear' thing was an idea I got from a book I'm reading about dragons, but I just twisted it up. Yep, lots of twists in this story. I just had to have Lucy fall on Natsu. I have the whole story planned out in my head, it's just the matter of writing it. I'm quite lazy. I also finished Brotherhood if you didn't know. I'm now watching Yu Yu Hakusho. It's really good. So yeah, that's it guys.
I feel like I should give a 'fandom name' to you guys. Like, a name to you fans. If you have a suggestion, please tell me in a review or pm me. Enough of me trying to grow my ego. It's big enough...I think.
Baii-Baii!~
