Catching Stars
Three: I'll Get You
SHE'S BEEN AVOIDING ME lately, and I don't like it.
She has always struck me as the kind of person who doesn't run away from anything. She has always seemed so calm and confident about the things she does.
She has always been perfect yet imperfect at the same time.
"Lucy," I say breathlessly, grabbing her wrist just before she can leave the classroom, "wait."
She looks at me with wide eyes and tries to get me to let go. "W—What do you want, Natsu?"
I raise an eyebrow. "Isn't it obvious? I want to know why you're avoiding me."
Her face flushes a deep red. "I—It's only normal when you say something so... so ridiculous like you did last night!"
"Ridiculous?" I smirk at her knowingly. "If it's ridiculous, then why are you blushing?"
"N—No, I'm not!" She struggles against my iron grip on her wrist. "Please let go of me now. I have to go home."
"No."
"Why?" Her voice sounds almost desperate.
"I want to hear what you think of me."
"A friend," she replies hastily, not looking at me straight in the eyes. "Just a friend."
I let her go. "Then I bet I'll have your heart by the end of the week."
She stares at me in disbelief. "What... What are you saying...?"
I grab her wrist again and pull her close until our faces are only centimeters apart. "I'm saying," I drawl coolly, "that I am going to make you fall in love with me by the end of the week... Lucy Heartfilia."
End—Three
A/N: This is a drabble series. :D
The real chasing after is going to begin in the next drabble. Whoo! Natsu's so intense here.
