I'm sorry that I'm not sorry! I have tried to write the next chapter to "A New Life" but it hasn't gone well! I only get ideas for this story instead!
Frustrating, but this story is so fun to write so I think this will be my priority one for now.
Don't worry you who read "A New Life" I will not stop writing it. I will write on it as soon as I get the inspiration for it, I promise!
I don't want it to be bad so I don't want to just write something "just because".
Be patient with me please!

Well, I hope you like this chapter anyway!
Happy reading!
ps; from now on it's called "the Agent" instead of "A Agent". Doesn't even know why I named it that to begin with... but now it is right!
The week after Lucy's discovery went fast, she was barely home since she was working double shift. When she came home, she was so tired that she passed out on the couch.
That the week was finally over was a relief for her. Thanks to that she worked the double shift all week, she will be free next week, and it's needed!
Thanks to her job has Lucy not seen Natsu in a week...
At first she thought nothing of it but the longer the week went on, the more worried she became. What if he doesn't want anything to do with her anymore?
It's now Sunday evening and Lucy is on her way home from work. She was allowed to leave early thanks to her hard work during the week.
She is so tired and just want to get home and curl up under the covers and just sleep.
When she comes out from the elevator, she sees Natsu standing outside her apartment. It looks like he has an inner battle with himself - like if he should knock on her door or not. Who knows how long he has been standing there?
"Natsu?" she asks when she approaches him.
He jumps in surprise. He turns around and looks almost relieved when he sees that it's her. It warms her to see.
"Ah it's you Lucy." he says, scratching the back of his head.
"Is something wrong?" she asks him confused. Why is he standing here?
"Oh! No... ehm, I..." he sighed "why have you avoided me this week? Is it because of my job?" he asks hurtful.
"Oh" was all she could say. Has he been worried that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore? It makes her almost smile.
"I haven't avoided you. I have worked." she says and smiles lightly at him. "My boss forced me to work double shift this week since a colleague of mine has been sick."
"Oh. So you have no problem with what I'm doing?" he asks carefully.
She begins to laugh at him - not that beautiful laughter that you want to laugh in front of the guy you have a crush on, but that laugh that sounds like you are a dead cat or something. You get my point right?
Once she stops laughing she begin to blush. "Well, maybe I'm not so much for the killing part since my job is to save people..." she says and starts playing with her hair.
Then Natsu begin to laugh. It is so unfair that his laughter sounds so beautiful. She looks down and blushes, again. "My job is to kill people, yes, but only bad people. My job is to kill terrorists, so that you shall not have to get innocent people to the hospital, that you won't be able to save. Then having to tell their mother, father, sister, brother - you name it – that they were killed by a terrorist."
"Oh." She says, surprised. "That make sense."
He smiles at her and even though she is so tired, she asks him if he wants to come inside and keep talking there.
He nods and follows her inside.
"I apologize if it's messy, I haven't had the energy to clean this week." she says as they enter her apartment.
"No need to apologize." He says and smiles at her. Why does he always smile at her?
The rest of the evening is spent in her living room where they sit and talk. He tells her everything, says he doesn't want to keep more secrets from her and it makes her heart swell.
She finds out that he works for the FBI. He's an agent that is working in a group that is called F.A.I.R.Y.T.A.I.L – they call it Fairy Tail.
There are not many people in the FBI who know that this group exists.
He talks about all his adventures around the world and she sits there and enjoy listening to him.
He tells her how he joined Fairy Tail. A new group of terrorists killed his father when he was seven years old. Makarov, Fairy Tail's boss found him and took him to their base. There he was allowed to choose what he wanted to do. He decided to stay, stay so that he one day could get revenge.
He tells her that almost everyone in the group was found when they were children. Everyone has a sad past where their parents all been killed. Everyone has got their revenge on the people that killed their parents. Everyone except him...
He tells her that the group he's looking for is now the biggest there is.
Tartaros.
It's the last thing she remembers before she fell asleep.

When she wakes up, she lies in her bed and she's confused. How did she end up here?
She feels at least rested for the first time in a long time.
She goes up and looking out over her apartment. Ugh, what a mess! Natsu was really kind that didn't pointed it out yesterday. Cleaning will be the first thing she will do after she eaten a much needed breakfast.
She eats her breakfast in peace and quiet, and then begin to clean her apartment. She starts the radio and sings along with the songs while she is cleaning.
When she finally is done, she looks up with a smile as she wipes away the sweat from her face.
Then she hears a chuckle. She looks up and sees Natsu leaning against her front door. Why is he so handsome!? She tries to fix her disaster of hair, but to no use.
"Na- Natsu?" she stutters out, as she blushes." what are you doing here?"
"I thought I heard a cat being killed so I was going to save it." he says and grins at her.
She looks confused him. Cat? Then she realizes what he means. Her face burst into flames in both embarrassment and anger. She takes up the first thing she get her hands on and throws it at him.
"Hey! Why did you do that?" he says, holding the remote control next to his face. "You could actually hurt someone with this."
She doesn't answer him, instead she takes up the next item she finds and throws at him.
This continues as long as she can find something to throw at him, but he just irritates her more by managing to avoid them all.
"Stand still so I can throw something at you!" she yells at him out in frustration.
She takes up the next item and is just about to throw it when she feels his hands around her wrists. He turns her towards himself and put his forehead against hers. Her face is burning. What the hell is he doing!? She is supposed to be angry at him!
"Wh- what are you doing?" she stutters out embarrassed.
"Are you calm now?" he whispers, still with his forehead against hers.
Calm!? She can barely breathe for God's sake. Doesn't he know what he's doing with her? Doesn't he know that his closeness kills her? Is it because she knows that it doesn't mean the same to him what she wants it to be?
She feels a great sadness when she thinks about it and she says nothing to him, but closes her eyes and tries to pull out of his grip.
He will never see her - an ordinary girl - more than as a friend, a friend outside his job. It hurts, but she is rather just his friend, than to lose him completely. He has done so much good in her life that she doesn't know if she will survive without him.
He looks at her with a worried look, causing her to smile at him. She knows that he can see that it's not her true smile, but she is glad that he doesn't ask her.
"Ehm, Lucy! I was just kidding with you!" he says suddenly and pulls up his hands in panic.
It makes her begin to laugh, for real. Ah, what does it matter? She knows she can't sing.
Well this day has been special... in a weird way.
But she will make the most of each second she has with Natsu. She maybe never gets what she wants from him, but she has at least the world's best friend at her side.
Please leave reviews about what you think. :)
It helps me become a better writer.

I'll try to write the next chapter as soon as possible! I Have already the basic idea of the chapter! But I haven't all the time in the world, unfortunately.
But it should be out next week or the week after!
In the next chapter, some of the Fairy Tails agents will show up, wondering which ;)
Until next time!
