Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, Natsu and myself hope you're enjoying Flames and Keys . We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.
thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.
We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima
P.S: sorry for the delay guys, I(Lucy) don't have any internet at the moment so for the next month of so the number of chapters I upload isn't going to be as large and won't be as frequent
The songs mentioned in this chapter do not belong to us..
the songs in this chapter are:
- never surrender by skillet
- skyscraper by demi lovato
-The next day-
Lucy is asleep in bed hugging a plush white dragon.
Sebastian: *knocks on the door* Miss Lucy. You are going to be late if you do not hurry
Lucy: *wakes up* okay. I'll be out soon
Sebastian walks down the hallway. Lucy quickly gets dressed. She grabs her bag and puts her hair up then walks out of her room and down the stairs where Sebastian is waiting.
Sebastian: Are you okay, Miss Lucy? You seem distracted by something
Lucy: *nods her head* yeah I'm fine. Thank you for asking Sebastian. Could you please send the valet around with my car please?
Sebastian: *bows* Very well.
Lucy: *smiles* thank you
-The Valet brings Lucy's car around the front of the mansion-
Lucy: *takes the keys* thank you *smiles*
Valet: It was no trouble, miss. Have a good day
Lucy smiles she places her bag in the car then walks over to the driver's seat. She hops in the pink convertible then drives to school
-At Natsu's house-
Natsu: Hey, dad? Have you seen my keys?
Igneel: *sighs* have you tried looking on top of the fridge
Natsu: *walks into the kitchen* Why would they be on top of the fridge?
Igneel: last time you drove you grabbed something to eat as soon as you got home. You put your keys on top of the fridge
Natsu: *pulls up a chair and reaches on top of the fridge, still looking at Igneel his fingers searching for the keys* It's not my fault I'm hungry when I get home from school. Anyway I doubt my keys would be on the... *his fingers touch his keys*
Igneel: *grins* I told you they were there
Natsu: *grabs his keys and jumps off the chair* Shush you
Igneel: you really should be leaving or you'll be late for school
Natsu: Yeah, yeah. That's why I'm driving. Well, that and YOU didn't want me walking
Igneel: you may look all healed but you should still be careful.
Natsu sighs and runs his hand through his hair, his right arm slightly bruised from the break yesterday
Igneel: I was told you had a broken arm. Who healed it?
Natsu: A girl I met two days ago. Her name's Lucy
Igneel: *scratches his head thought* okay. Well I have to get to work and you have school. Time to go
Natsu: Okay. *grabs his backpack and heads out to his red car* See ya later dad
Igneel: *smiles* see ya later Natsu
-At Fairy Hills Public Academy-
Lucy drives into the school car park. She parks her car receiving a few stares and gaping mouths at her expensive pink convertible. She puts the roof up and hops out. She grabs her bag and a guitar out of the boot
Gray: *sees the car* Lucy? That you?
Lucy: *turns to gray* oh hi Gray
Gray: Hey. I didn't know you could drive
Lucy: just because I get driven everywhere doesn't mean I can't drive
Gray: *laughs* Fair enough
Lucy smiles, she shuts the boot and locks the car
Gray: What's your day like today?
Lucy: I've got a free period first, then I have English, Sports then I have Foods.
Gray: Okay. I've got Math, Sport, English and Music. So it looks like I'll only see you at lunch
Lucy: looks like it
Gray: *smiles* I think you have Erza in English though. And if Natsu comes today you'll have that and food with him too
Lucy: I'll be surprised if he comes after what happened yesterday
Gray: Yeah. But you never know with flame brain
Lucy: true
Gray: I'll see you later
Lucy: okay *smiles slightly*
Gray walks off to class
Lucy sighs; she picks up her guitar and walks to the music room for her free during first period. She walks inside and takes out her guitar which is pink and has a heart shaped head. She plugs it into the amp then sets up the microphone. This area of the school doesn't have classes running during this time of the day. She starts playing never surrender by skillet and sings into the microphone
Lucy: Do you know what it's like when
You're scared to see yourself?
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
Natsu: *pulls up into the parking lot* Good thing I have a free. *he gets out the car and pulls a guitar bag out of the back seat. He locks the car and walks to the music rooms*
Lucy: I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better, I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
Never surrender
Do you know what it's like when
You're not who you wanna be?
Do you know what it's like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me I can't hide?
Natsu walks down the hallways in the music room he hears someone singing and stands there listening
Lucy: Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better, I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
Make me feel better, you make me feel better
You make me feel better, put me back together
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better, I need to feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
Put me back together
Never surrender, make me feel better
You make me feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
Lucy finishes singing and places her guitar down on the rack she has set up. She goes through her sheet music in her back with her back turned to the door
Natsu: *walks to the room and opens the door slightly. He sees Lucy and smiles* (Looks and talent)
Lucy: damn, where did it go. I know I had it in here somewhere *starts taking out folders of sheet music out*
-A gust of cold air from the air conditioner blows the door open, slamming it into a drum set near the door-
Natsu jumps at the noise and stops moving
Lucy: *jumps. She looks at the door and is surprised when she see's Natsu standing there* h..hi Natsu *blushes slightly*
Natsu: *blushes and smiles, rubbing the back of his neck nervously* Uh.. hehe.. Hi, Luce
Lucy: I thought you weren't going to be here today
Natsu: *tilts his head to the side* Why?
Lucy: because of what happened
Natsu: Oh. That. *he walks in and leans his guitar case against the wall* It's not the first time that's happened
Lucy: *looks at the guitar* you play the guitar?
Natsu: Yeah. My dad taught me
Lucy: *smiles* that's nice
Natsu: Yeah. He's into the whole cultural thing. *looks at Lucy* He isn't the guy that caused my injuries though
Lucy: *sits down on the table holding her sheet music* that's good
Natsu: Yeah. *sees the sheet music* Do you write songs or something?
Lucy: *blushes* kind of
Natsu: Well, I heard you singing Skillet before. I never pegged you for someone who liked them though
Lucy: *rubs her neck* uh yeah. I heard some of their music while on a trip with my mother, I loved it. I haven't really told anyone because my father would yell at me
Natsu: Well if it's any consolation, none of the guys know I play
Lucy: no one knows I even play. I've been taking private lessons for months
Natsu: *sits down next to her* Well from what I've heard you're pretty good *grins*
Lucy: *blushes* t..thanks
Natsu: I mean it
Lucy blushes and smiles
Natsu: *blushes and looks away* Umm... If y..you wanted to play by y..yourself... I could go.
Lucy: no you don't have to go
Natsu looks at her and smiles, his face almost as pink as his hair
Lucy: *smiles* d..did you want to play something
Natsu: Uhh... y..yeah. That'd be great. Did you h..have something in mind or?
Lucy: well I do have this. *shows Natsu some sheet music for song she had written called skyscraper* but it involves me playing the piano and singing *blushes*
Natsu: Umm... *looks at the piano and scratches his head* My dad taught me a little piano. I could give it a shot
Lucy: *smiles* cool
Natsu: *takes the sheet music and walks over to the piano and sits down* (Let's see if I can still do this) *he looks at the sheet music and drums his dingers gently along the piano keys*
Lucy: *moves to the microphone and looks at natsu. she smiles* you ready?
Natsu: *nods and grins* Ready
Lucy: *as natsu starts playing she starts singing*
Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like i'm made of glass
Like i'm made of paper, Ohhh woaah
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Natsu finishes playing, he moves his hands on to his lap
Lucy smiles and takes a deep breath then exhales. She steps away from the microphone
Natsu: *looks up at Lucy and smiles* Wow. That was great, Luce
Lucy: *blushes* t..thanks
Natsu: You've got a killer voice, and the song was amazing. *smiles and blushes, looking away when he says it*
Lucy: *blushes red* t..thanks
Natsu starts running his fingers along the piano nervously, making a nice melody of notes
Lucy: y..you were g..great *looks away blushing*
Natsu: Uhh... thanks
Lucy sits down and starts strumming her guitar
Natsu walks over to his guitar case and opens it. Inside is a classic black guitar shaped like a fireball with graphics that make it look like a dragon flying through flames
Lucy: that's a nice guitar *smiles, her cheeks pink form blushing*
Natsu: Yeah. *smiles* My mum got it for me before she... you know...
Lucy: *looks down* yeah
Natsu: You can ask about it, Luce. I'm not gonna blame you.
Lucy: but I can tell it makes you upset just talking about it
Natsu: It does a bit, I'm not gonna deny that. But she'd want me to talk about it. For closure and stuff like that
Lucy: o..okay
Natsu: *grabs his wallet from his pocket and takes out a picture before handing it to Lucy* That's what she looked like
Lucy takes the picture out of Natsu's hands gently
Natsu: She passed away just before I transferred here.
Lucy: h...how did she die?
Natsu: My... my biological father kind of...
Lucy: kind of what?
Natsu: He... he beat her and then.. well.. *looks at Lucy* Let's just say the sight when I got home from school that day wasn't a pretty one
Lucy: *eyes widen in shock. She starts shaking and covers her mouth* t..that's horrible *tears gather in her eyes*
Natsu: *his eyes start watering and he bites his lip* y..yeah
Lucy: *walks over to natsu* I..I know what it's like to have an abusive father
Natsu: Y..you do?
Lucy: *nods sadly* y..yes
Natsu: You don't have to tell me if you don't want to
Lucy: I as well. I hate keeping it to myself. *takes and deep breath the exhales* both my sister and myself and beaten by my father. My father beats me *tears trickles down her face* just so I remain obedient. And he.. *sniff* ..he rapes my sister regularly and me occasionally when we disobey him. *covers her tear stained face*
Natsu: That's fucking sick
Lucy: *sniffs* uh ..huh
Natsu pulls Lucy into a hug and rubs her back comfortingly as she sobs into his chest
Natsu: I figured something was up. There was so much tension at your house whenever he was in the room
Lucy: *sniffs* h..he frightens me. I..If I even try and make m..my own decisions he beats me
Natsu: My childhood was the exact same. Only my older brother was the golden boy and I copped all the blame, even if it wasn't my fault. My brother used to do things on purpose just to get me out of the spotlight
Lucy: *rubs her eyes and sniffs* that's horrible
Natsu: Yeah. But you get used to it after a while.
Lucy: *sniffs* I guess
Natsu: *makes her look at him and wipes away her tears, smiling* I think we should do this whenever we can. It'll give a chance to vent and play together
Lucy: *looks at natsu, her chocolate brown eyes shimmering* y..yeah
Natsu: Promise you won't hate me for this?
Lucy: hate you? Why would I hate you?
Natsu gently pulls her into a kiss
Lucy's surprised by the sudden kiss. She blushes pink then kisses him back. Natsu pulls away, blushing furiously as Lucy looks off to the side blushing cherry red.
Natsu: Uh... Yeah... *looks away* S..sorry if that was... Umm... weird..
Lucy: *looks at natsu. she smiles* n..no I actually l..liked it
Natsu: *looks at Lucy* Y..you d..did?
Lucy: *nods blushing* y..yes
Natsu: *grins* I..I'm glad.
Lucy smiles
