Chapter 8: Lucy's birthday part 1

Lucy was shaking as she sat on her bed with tears falling from her eyes. She had completely trusted the flame user, and yet Lisanna was always first to her. She should have known; why had she been so blind. Her C.D player was playing as a song from 'Les Miserables' had come on, the one called "I dreamed a dream". Lucy looked at the box that was distributing music and listened to the lyrics, singing along with the song. When the song ended, Lucy's exhaustion had finally gotten to her as she fell asleep. Tomorrow was her birthday, and she hoped it would be better.

Natsu that night had quietly opened Lucy's window before sneaking into her bed; he really did have a problem, even when she was mad and upset at him, he couldn't stay away from her especially when she had been crying. He couldn't stand it when she was crying, and he was going to make them stop by waking up early and attempting a wonderful breakfast to start off her birthday. He just hoped for the best as he laid his palm on her soft blond hair, entangling his fingers in it, surprised that Lucy hadn't woken up from the sudden feeling.

"Tomorrow will be great Luce, just wait and see." Natsu smiled as he too fell asleep right next to her already unconscious form.

The next morning, the sun was at its peak as it ascended through Lucy's open curtain. She yawned slightly as she felt her pillow which didn't feel normal; when she opened her eyes, she saw Natsu in front of her which angered her. He was sound asleep with his hands around her waist in a protective manor.

"NATSU!" She screamed as she grabbed him by his vest and tossed him off the bed. He hit the wall, looking slightly disoriented when he awoke from the impact, but when he saw how unhappy Lucy was to see him, his heart broke.

"Luce?" He questioned with a shaky voice.

"Don't call me that, you kissed Lisanna after you said that you loved me, don't lie to me." She snapped as she got up to get a shower and at least try to enjoy her birthday. She was going to be 19 today after all.

"Luce…I know what I can do." Natsu said as he started to grab some things out of Lucy's fringe to prepare his own little concoction.

After her shower, she came out looking refreshed and more relaxed then she was prior to the hot shower. Lucy went into her kitchen to prepare herself a hardy breakfast to start her day, but Natsu had already gotten a head start with making breakfast which scared her once she saw the final product.

"Natsu, I told you to stop, nothing you do is going to change my mind about you." Lucy said as he shoved his concoction into her mouth which made her sick to her stomach once they reached her taste buds. Lucy then began to spit the concoction into the sink, wiping her mouth to get the excess off of her lips.

"Happy birthday, Luce." Natsu smiled which made Lucy's heart ache. She'd feel bad if she yelled at him; after all he was trying to make up for what happened. She still refused o get back with him but she would be nice and be his friend.

"Thank you, my best friend Natsu." Lucy said as she emphasized the word friend. Natsu stared blankly at her as he shoved a red dress into her arms and shoved her into the bathroom to get dressed. He had a lot of plans for today and he secretly wished everything went well today, it couldn't be worse especially since his cooking had ruined the first step.

"Natsu, I honestly don't understand why you wanted me to wear this." Lucy spoke as Natsu stared at Lucy. She looked just like the time he had first met her and saved her from the fake salamander.

"You look beautiful Luce." Natsu said as the blonde couldn't help the blush that had spread across her face.

"Thank you, but what is this for?" She questioned the dragon slayer.

"I'm taking you out today for your birthday; first we hit up the book store, then the next thing is we do what you want to do, then we hit up the guild and finally end it with dinner and a walk to your apartment." Natsu said as Lucy smiled softly. She couldn't believe that he had planned a date for her. A date where they got to do everything she loved to do, but she refused to let it be a date. He wouldn't make her think anything more.

"Ok, may we start my birthday celebration then?" Lucy said with a big smile as Natsu jumped with joy as he took her hand and ran out of her apartment to make it to the book store. However, she wasn't about to forgive him just yet.

Me- I'm sorry for this chapter being short, but I will try my best to make it up to you.
