"I am a witch's apprentice and have trouble keeping all the magic stuff a secret and you are my neighbor and one of my spells went wrong and now my radio keeps blasting lovesongs whenever you walk by my apartment and i think this is sending embarassing signals."

"Erza what the hell!"

I waved my hands around my body furiously, swatting away the puffs of dust and pink sparkles that caused me to cough loudly. I held my arm over my nose and mouth, glaring at the woman intensely.

"Huh…nothing happened," She said softly, raising an eyebrow at the book in her hand.

"What the hell was that?" I asked, the air clearing up around me.

The witch looked at me (you can register that name however you like, either way works) and sighed loudly. "Quit being so loud, relax. It was a spell."

"Spell for what?" I gaped at her, my stomach churning at the thought. "Did you just hex me! Again!"

She ignored me, but I walked up to the other side of her cauldron, sticking my face in hers, "Just because I work for you, it doesn't mean you can mutate me with all your creepy magic things."

She rose an eyebrow at me, finally glancing up from her book, and I felt my mouth dry up. "It was a simple test run of an unknown spell Natsu, you're still breathing aren't you? Yes, you are. So quit complaining and go fetch me Volume 2 of this book."

She dropped the giant spell book into my arms, smiling, and went back into her lair, her heels clacking against the stone flooring. I sighed, glancing up to the mountains of books behind me.

What a witch.

I dragged myself home after a few good hours of book searching, my thoughts still training on the spell Erza cast on me earlier. I didn't feel any different, except that I was a little tired, but I doubt the spell was the reason for that. It was another unknown one she said, yet apparently non-lethal.

Erza was the only witch I knew, I had heard her speaking of others that she knew personally, but I'd never seen them. Once I accidentally caught her using her magic she needed a way to keep an eye on me, so she offered me a job to come be her assistant. It was actually decent pay, and the magic was very interesting to watch.

When you're not the training dummy.

I stopped at my apartment door, dropping all my bags of ancient spells Erza needed me to translate and searched in and out for my keys. I heard a door crack open, and a familiar voice echo through my head.

"Hey Natsu," Lucy, my neighbor, said.

I looked back to her quickly, feeling a grin fall on my face, "Lucy, hey."

Lucy was this super nice girl who lived right next door to me, and she always made an effort to at least say 'hi' to me at some point in the day. Which, I actually really liked. She was cute and sweet and I wasn't completely sure, but I think I might love her? I don't know, maybe it's a schoolgirl crush, but I knew one thing, and that was I wouldn't mind waking up to her face everyday for my life.

"Looking for your keys?" She asked, holding up my keychain, smiling, "You dropped them this morning, but you were gone by the time I saw them."

She walked over and handed me them, and I could smell her shampoo from right here, "Thanks, again."

She laughed a bit, sounding like chimes, "No problem. You should slow down a little in the morning, you always seemed stressed out."

I shrugged modestly, "Stressful boss."

"Ah yes, I know," she nodded as well, her pearly teeth opening up for another grin, "You have that demon for a boss right?"

"Still and always," I sighed, jerking open my door and picking up my bags.

"Oh, well I hope things start turning around for you. I'm sure they will anyways," She said sweetly, starting to back up towards her door again.

See? What did I say? She was like an angel sent from God on his birthday.

I grinned a little, lowering my head to hide the pink on my face, "Thanks."

She did the same, smiling, and went back inside her room, closing the door shut.

I sighed and went inside too, only to have to start translating these hieroglyphics.

About two hours passed and I was now laying on my floor, wearing sweatpants and watching some scary movie in the dark. Even though it was around 9:00.

I gave up on Erza's homework about half an hour in, deciding to pull the excuse that I was too stupid to read the pictures and let her deal with it, even if I would end up with some weird hex as a punishment.

I heard a knock on my door, and I stood up, turning on the lights and cracking it open. I saw the only face in the world that could make my stomach jump into my throat.

"Hey Natsu," Lucy said quietly, giving a little wave.

"Hi," I said right back, opening up the door for her, "What's up?"

"I was just wondering if I could check out your terrace? You know for work?" She whispered.

Oh right, and I guess I should mention that she was this insanely smart astrophysicist? She knew all these math equations and hard algorithms and stuff; there was literally nothing to dislike about her. I always saw her looking through her telescope on the fire escape at nights, yet I had to admit I'd rather watch her then the stars.

"Oh right, yeah sure," I nodded, a little too eagerly, and let her in.

"Great!" She grinned, picking up her laptop case from the floor behind her.

I saw her in a tank top and cotton shorts, smiling at the snowman dog creature she had on literally every piece of clothing she owned. It was weird, but oddly cute at the same time.

She wrapped the strap over her shoulder and stepped into my apartment, a sudden blast of music making us both gasp.

"I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you-"

Lucy jumped from the song suddenly blaring from my stereo, tripping on her feet back out of my door. She stared at me, bewildered, as the music stopped then.

I stared at my stereo, confused. Why did it just start playing some love song?

Lucy laughed nervously, shaking her head and stepped in my room again, stopping on her toes.

"Oh kiss me! Beneath the milky twilight–kiss me!-"

She jumped back again, whipping her head to me as it cut off.

That can't be a coincidence. Oh no, no no. Please don't be something.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's up with this thing," I said quickly, walking over to the speakers.

I pressed the off switch, seeing her smiling still. She hesitantly walked through the door again, the lights popping up on the screen.

"You're a doll, you are flawless–and I just can't wait for love to destroy us–"

I spun around, jumping at the sudden song and slammed down on the power button, yet it kept playing loudly.

Lucy slowly stepped out again, her suspicion rising as the song cut off again. I leaned back and yanked the cord from the wall, returning to my spot casually.

She stepped back in-

"Baby I'm yours, until two and two is five- in other words, until the end of time-"

She stepped back out, silence filling the air. I blew up my cheeks.

She rose an eyebrow, stepping a foot through my doorway.

"You were the only one to see me, the only one I'll ever love-"

She stared straight at me as she stepped out, the music cutting off again. Her lips parted, and I had a feeling she knew who all of those songs were meant to be about.

"Uh," she laughed a tad, deciding to finally walk in completely.

"Baby I love you, I never wanna let you go…"

She stayed this time, swaying on her toes, and I turned around again, staring at the cord still unplugged. I yelled a variety of curses in my head, thinking furiously for a solution.

"Sorry, this thing is so weird sometimes," I laughed, picking up the stereo and bringing it over to the flowerbox window.

"The more I think about the more I wanna let you know, that everything you do is super fucking cute and I can't stand it-"

I slammed the window down, the music settling to a dull hum from the glass and gave her a tired grin.

"Was that thing unplugged?" She asked, curiously smiling.

I leaned against the window frame, blowing up my cheeks and shaking my head, "Uh…no…well, I mean yeah, of course."

She rose her eyebrows at me.

"It had batteries, you know." I nodded, reassuringly.

"Batteries and a plug?" She questioned.

"Just for backup," I shrugged, scratching the back of my head.

I heard the music start getting louder behind the window, the lyrics becoming less faint.

"Give me all your love now, cause for all we know we might be dead by tomorrow-"

I sighed in my mouth, holding it in. Lucy nodded slowly, and I saw a certain look on her face that I didn't know how to react to. She looked like she knew what was happening. Yet, she didn't say anything.

"Well, you know what, I think I can just use the fire escape again," she said, slowly backing up towards my door again.

I opened my mouth, actually wanting her to stay, but the music blaring behind told me that her idea was probably better. I closed it, keeping it shut.

"You should get that stereo checked," she turned back, offering a playful smile to me, "Sounds like that thing has a little magic in it or something."

I felt a shiver run down my spine. I saw her smile widen, her hazel eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint I usually only saw on Erza.

"Interesting songs by the way," she commented, holding the door behind her.

She gazed back at me, speechless, and raised her hand in the air, circling her finger around. The stereo behind me finally stopped, silence flooding through the room again, and I whipped back to her.

She rose an eyebrow at me, before closing the door, and leaving me to myself.

I stared at where she just left, my lips parted and mind swarming. I swallowed thickly. Holy shit.

What the hell just happened?
