The pen tapped against her chin rapidly, back and forth - getting hit by the way she rocked it between her index finger and middle finger. The same arm was arched upwards, her elbow resting on the top surface of the desk she used for her publishing books and supplies.
Currently, her eyes were narrowed, fixed on what was in front of her - the computer screen. It was 10: 30 a.m in the morning and she was determined to find Natsu Dragneel.
The more tense she got, the more her top teeth sunk into her bottom lip, anxiously while the harder the pens attacks became. Nothing was giving Lucy any hint of where to find a "Natsu Dragneel." She sighes as she places her pen down on the table desk and closes her laptop gingerly with right hand.
She closes her eyes as she rests her left elbow instead of her right. She leans towards her left hand and uses her fingers to stroke her temples. She was tired. He was no where to be found no matter the source.
Her eyes opens slightly as she stares at the picture of her mother. Her eyes softens .."if only." She whispers, turning her eyes away from the picture and over to her cat. She moves back in her chair away from the desk and watches as her white cat - Plue, purrs and walks in between her feet happily.
Lucy's lips curls in a smile as she laughs, reaching over and picking up the cat. She wheels back over to her desk and places the feline on the wooden structure and smiles bigger. "How was your nap, Plue?"
"Meow~" Came the response of the feline.
Lucy smiles at this as she scratches behind his ears. The cat chirps and leans inwards towards her palm. They both sigh.
In the background, the song, Runaway by Aura, plays as the blonde and Plue plays with his toys. They had just met a year ago - yet they feel as if they've known each other forever.
As she finally put the cat down gingerly, she sighed and turned her head upwards towards the door, looking at it through her fallen bangs.
Maybe...
Lucy Heartfilia felt as if someone was watching her. Actually, she's been noticing it for awhile. She was currently walking home from the libary she visits every weekend and ever since she walked out, she felt as if eyes were on her.
Her self conscious squeals and jumps behind a couch scared, peeking her head out from the arm.
Just as she went to turn around, someone had crashed into her, causing her books to crash to the ground. "Hey watch it-!" She pauses when the same similar onyx eyes met hers. Her heart speeds up and suddenly she doesn't know who she was.
The same pair of eyes stares back, but they snapped away with a glare. "Hey you!" He calls out over to a dark ally. Lucy blinked a couple times before frowning and turning her head in the direction the young man had yelled towards.
Who was he yelling at?
Was he as crazy as the pink hair?
"Ugh so annoying." Came a low gruff voice. A dark figure took a step out of the ally and she gasps. There was someone following her! "You just had to go ruin all the fun didn-"
The man with pink hair springs out into a jump towards the man and punches him with lightening speed. Lucy's eyes widen as she watches the man from the ally, tumble and fall onto his ass. The man with pink hair leanes over the creepy man and snarled. "Try and follow her again - I dare you."
The man underneath him shot his head upwards. It looks as if he still hadn't processed what had happened. It was unhuman like. "Y-youre c-crazy man!" The trembling man shouts terrified. His eyes widensas the man with pink hair bent down and picked the man up by the shirt.
"Do I have to repeat myself?" He growls dangerously.
The man shakes his head and gasps when the man with pink hair let go. He scurries to his feet and ran away. After that, Lucy watches the man clean off with hands with a couple of claps and turn to her. His facial expression changes drastically from terrifying to happy go lucky. "Sorry about that!" He grinned, walking over to Lucy. He bends down and picks up her books and stands back up, offering them over to her. "We have to stop crashing into each other like this-"
Lucy snorted and took the books gratefully. "I'm not the one who's crashing into you-"
"Yea yea, sure ya weirdo." The man laughs as he dodges a slap on the shoulder from the blonde.
"Anyway." Lucy turned serious as he turns his attention back to her. "How did you do that? I mean just now with that creepy man."
The man's face frowns. "Easy. I beat the crap outta him."
Lucy face palms. "That's not what I mean!"
He laughs and shrugs as he looks away. His arms crosses behind his head as he leans back and look at her with unfazed expression. "D'know, just lots of training so i could deal with jerks like that."
But that didn't make any sense to her. How did he know she was there? What was he even doing near her in the first place? She bit her lip as her eyes narrowed towards the man. Did he live here?
"You should get rid of that nasty look before it turns ugly-"
"MY FACE ISNT UGLY!!"
"The names Natsu Dragneel." He re-introduced himself. He raised his eyes and wiggles his eyebrows as he stares at her through his bangs and flashed a cocky smile. "Told ya that didn't I?"
Lucy blushed and gave him a playful glare. "It's hard to keep track of someone's name when you've only met them in five short seconds."
Natsu shruggs and smiless. "I guess so." Looking down, he bit into his sandwich and moaned at the taste. "God this is so good!"
Lucy giggled. "Your eating ability is amazing. How do you never get fat?" She asked. After he had saved her from the stalker in the ally, she had gratefully rewarded him with taking him to a restaurant. Now as she's watching him eat his fifth plate, she started to regret taking him anywhere. The man had a stomach of a bear!
Natsu looked up from his bangs and shoved a tomato in his mouth. "Because I do intense exercise and train my body to produce heat and endure it, the calories that I digest gets burned easily." He smiled but she grimaced from the food stuck in his teeth. It wasn't a view she enjoys.
Leaning forwards with her elbow on the table and her chin in her palm, she raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by produce heat?"
