NEIGHBORS

When Lucy opened the door she saw Natsu kicking his door and ruffling his hairs.

"Natsu.." Lucy lightly muttered.

"Lucy what are you doing here?" his sharp ears caught her voice at once.

"Huh! Hey.." Lucy said as he entered her apartment.

"You are living here"

"Yes, can't believe you are my neighbor." Lucy sighed putting her palm on her forehead.

"Neighbors are we?" He said a little thoughtful and suddenly shook her by saying "Wow that's great".

"I don't see anything great in this."

"Now, you were unpacking things. Let me help you."

"No need, just get out of here"

"You are so rude; I am just trying to help."

"Rude; says he who entered without permission." Lucy said sarcastically.

Natsu shrugged and went to her things and started pulling them out.

"Hey stop that.." Lucy went and swatted his hands away.

"Don't touch my things" Lucy said glaring at the male beside her.

"You are mean; and strong." he said rubbing his now bruised hands.

"Now, I don't want any destruction in my apartment so just get out of here before I do something bad to you." She said pointing him angrily.

"But Lucy.."

"NO buts, get out" she said now pushing him.

"Okay fine, I am going." And went towards the door but before closing he muttered "..for now"


LUCY's POV

".. for now"

Did he really say that, what's with him he is totally annoying. How casually he came in when I didn't even invite him in. How can someone touch a girls things like that and wow he calls this help really it was more like intruding in someone's house moreover I don't even need help, 'his help'.

He made my first day here awful- I was happy joining the guild everyone is very friendly and I was enjoying their company, but no he has to make me fight on my first day and now when I have got an apartment near the guild he has to be my neighbor too.

Why didn't Levy-chan say something about this, maybe she too don't know about it. Well whatever why am I thinking about him, I have many more interesting things to think like what to do tomorrow in the guild. Hmm it will be nice if I take a request and go on a job, that way I will be well acquainted with the guild, wow I am getting excited thinking about it.

'Yawn' well now I am very tired let's just sleep and wait for a lovely tomorrow.


NATSU's POV

Walking on the streets

Well that was mean of her I was trying to be good to her but she just kicked me out. Really there is no place for goodness in this world 'sigh' but now what to do I lost my house key again and if this time I kick the door open and my landlady came to know about it I will be walking on these streets forever.

So what should I do now go to guild? Nah! its really late and I just came back from there. Go to Gray's apartment? No, no, never, I won't go to that freaks house for help, I can hear him laugh in my head

'Ha Ha you lost it again I always told you were reckless fool, Hahaa ain't it the 5th time looser'

stop it what am I even thinking. I should go back to my apartment and kick the door down

"Natsu, what did I say about breaking the door again."

"Landlady, I.."

What's going on, my head is playing tricks with me. Well I am tired and need some sleep so have to think something. Well, when I think someone can help its Lucy she is my neighbor and can understand my situation can't she, but she is mean maybe kick me out again but no hurt in trying.


NORMAL POV-

Natsu reached to his building and went up to their floor, sighed at his locked room and softly knocked on Lucy's room.

"Lucy…."

At his soft knocks the door slightly opened he was afraid what was she going to say but no she has not opened it well she had not closed it at all.

He silently went inside and swallowed the view- lights were still on Lucy was sitting no, sleeping with her head on her bag, her hands were tightly holding onto a photo of a lady whom he thought to be her photo.

'Well she appears harmless while sleeping thank god or I would be out by now, better not disturb her.' He thought to himself and silently went to close the door, switch off lights and took her crouch for the night.


"ouch" Lucy opened her eyes rubbing her neck and looked around.

"It's morning, oh! Did I really sleep here, feels like my neck is broken. I think a long bath will help to relax me.

Good Morning Mama, wish me a good day."

With that she stood up and turned around to go to her bathroom when something met her eyes to destroy her mood. Natsu

"What is he doing here, wait did I even open the door for him"

As realization came over her she went and shook him harshly waking him up quickly.

"What are you doing here?"

"..Oh! Morning Luce" he said still sleepy.

'he looks cute like this, no Lucy what are you thinking you are angry'

"I asked what are you doing here and how you came in?"

"Okay stop yelling, I will tell you everything."

She stood there crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at him for some sensible response.

"Well, Actually.." he started

"Actually, what?" she was no mood to wait.

"see I tell you straight, I have lost my house key again, It's the fifth time every time this happens I kick the door down but last time my Landlady was really mad at me and said it was better my last time. I thought telling you but you kicked me out finally after long thinking I came to the conclusion that I come to u again, but when I came the door was open lights were on and you were sleeping so I thought not to disturb you and.."

"I got it. I should be thankful that it was only you and no burglar, I understand a neighbor should help a neighbor." Natsu saw her with wide eyes is this the girl who she met last night she is so kind

"DID YOU THINK I WILL SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT BETTER BE YOUR LAST TIME YOU BURGE IN MY HOUSE LIKE THAT" she said pointing a threatening finger at him.

"Whoa calm down" he was afraid of the outburst and what will happen to him the next moment.

".. before you say something I am going, and thanks for letting me stay, I shouldn't be saying this but good you shouted it feels like you your earlier words caught me off guard."

"Why you.." Lucy started but he just gave a toothy grin and closed the door behind him.

"There goes my second day here" she said sighing to herself.
