Chapter 2: The Searching
*Normal POV*
They were both staring at the little object that Natsu was holding. It was a small silver ring that was connected to a chain of somesort. "Lucy, where did you get this?" Natsu repeated. She was frozen in the spot where she stood. She didn't even know she had that or maybe she had just forgotten about it, but where was it from? "I, I don't remember" She said somewhat unsure of herself. Natsu became impatient and came closer to her. He asked a third time, "Lucy, do you have any idea where you might have gotten this?" His eyes pleaded at Lucy to see if she would remember anything. She was trying very hard to think of where she got it but she just couldn't remember. "I'm sorry Natsu but I don't have any memory of getting that" Natsu was disappointed so he decided to leave and just hope that Lucy would remember where she got it from. "Well alright Luce, I guess I'll see you tomorrow" And with that he jumped out the window.
*Lucy's POV*
That was really weird. I hope Natsu is ok. I was in my room fidgeting with the ring and trying to figure out what it was. Why would I even have something like this with me? I never even remember getting it. I decided to go for a walk. It was somewhat cold outside so I decided to grab a baby blue jacket and a soft white scarf. This scarf kinda reminds me of Natsu's scarf. I pulled up the scarf closer to my face and took a deep breath. It kinda smells like Natsu too. It smells like a campfire. It was kinda weird that it smelled like him since Natsu had only ever worn his scarf and never any other scarfs. I looked down at the scarf and gasped. This was Natsu's scarf! This was Natsu's freaking scarf! I just about fainted. I have to return this to him right away! He must be freaking out right now. I started running in the direction of Natsu's house as fast as I could. It took me about 15 to 20 minutes to get there and that was with me running. "Natsu!" I panted. "Natsu…I have…your...scarf." When I didn't hear anything I looked around and noticed that no one was here. "What the...Natsu where the hell are you?" I decided to sit down on the couch but it was only a little bit that I ended up falling asleep. Natsu, come back.
*Natsu's POV*
He had gone out on a walk after he had left Lucy's. Happy wasn't with him so he could think clearly. Why couldn't she remember? I remembered almost right away so why couldn't Lucy? He was disappointed that she couldn't remember. She should have remembered something that important. Oh well I guess I can't expect her to remember right away I guess I'll just give her some time maybe then she'll remember. He decided to head home, it was getting pretty cold outside not that it bothered him anyways. When I got home there was a familiar smell in the house. When he got in the house he notice someone on the couch so he went up to. Why is she here and why is she asleep? He noticed that she had something in her hands and he immediately recognised what it was. Why the hell does she have my scarf? I don't remember giving it to her and i remember that I didn't leave it at her house. So why does she have it? I tried to take it out of her hands but she just gripped it harder and had a determined face on as if she was telling me that she wasn't going to let go. "Luce, come one give it back." I pulled again but she gripped it even harder. "Don't leave me.." she mumbled in her sleep. My eyes widened and my face flushed a little. Did she really just say that? I smiled and then ruffled her hair a little bit. "Don't worry Luce, I won't ever leave you." I went over and grabbed a blanket from the floor and put it on top of her. I gave her a little kiss on the top of her head, "Goodnight Lucy" I smiled and went over to my hammock and went to bed myself.
*Lucy POV*
Something warm just came on my head. What was that and why am I gripping Natsu's scarf as if I'm holding on for dear life? I woke up and looked around. It was dark and I was on a couch, but whose I couldn't remember. But then I realized that I was at Natsu's house. I went to his house to return his scarf but he wasn't home so I decided to wait until he came back but I ended up falling asleep on his couch. Great. I looked around to see if a certain pink dragon slayer was here and found him sleeping in his hammock. I went over to drop his scarf on him but when I looked at him he had a worried look on his face. What he said next shocked me. "Lucy, Lucy! Come back!" He looked like he was about to cry and it broke my heart to see him like this. "Shh, Natsu. It's alright I'm here. I'm right here." I told him trying to sooth him. I decided to pet his head to see if that would calm him down, and it did. His worried face turned into a relaxed on and I sighed out of relief. He's actually pretty cute when he's asleep. I smiled and then I subconsciously kissed him on the cheek. I blushed a deep red realizing what I had just done. Why the hell did I just do that?! What is wrong with me! I decided to get out of there as fast and as quietly as possible. When I finally got out of thee I just started running back to the city worried that Natsu would come after me. Why would he come after me? wouldn't he have just kept me there if he heard me? My thoughts were cut short when I was suddenly yanked away by strong arms. Oh no. OH NO! I'm going to be raped! Someone help! "Someo-" I was cut off when I heard someone say "My my. What's a pretty little girl wondering about the city this late at night hmm?" I bit his hand as hard as I could and he dropped me and yelped. "You bitch! You'll pay for this." I braced myself for the blow...but it never came. "How dare you try to do something like this to Lucy!" Natsu… was the first thought that came to my head but when I got a good look at my saviour I gasped.
