Natsu's POV

My head feels like it has been beaten up by a gorilla and then an overweight elephant sat on it. No, maybe Grey sat on my head. That's it, Grey is sitting on my head. He may look skinny but he's so heavy. I bet cars tip over if he sit in them.

It took so much strength for me to open up my eyelids, it didn't even feel natural. Don't tell me that douchebag snuck in my house and is sitting on my head. I woke up to a white room with wooden everything. "Huh? Am I in heaven? Or is this just an ikea showroom?"I mumbled.

"Natsu! You woke up!"A creepy woman with black markings all over her face startled me. "GAH!"I screamed, sitting up suddenly. "I'm your mom? Natsu?"She said, taking a wet paper towel and wiped up all of those mascara stains. "Oh, phew. Okay. For a moment I thought I was in a haunted house or one of those prank shows."I let out a deep breath, calming down.

"You have been sleeping for two days!"She held my hand. "Oh, yeah? I got my beauty sleep then."I smiled, petting my face. "Oh shut up. Why didn't you tell us you were sick and had a high fever?"She asked, looking into my eyes. "Uh…Cuz I forgot?" I looked away. After all, she can't really expect me to tell her that I was being all crazy about a girl, right? Then she will ask if Lucy and I are planning on making "The next generation" anytime soon.

"When will you ever snap out of your world, Natsu?When it comes to school and sports, you're so smart. But you can't keep doing that thing of yours when you hide all your feelings in your heart, okay?Or it's gonna be too much for you to take it all to yourself."My mom continued blabbing on and on and on. It was kinda like a lullaby for me, and I fell back asleep.

"NATSU, MEH MAN!"Somebody slapped my head. "OW!"I grouched, delivering a death glare to whoever did that. "I heard your fever's finally down."He said, setting down a soup can as he sits by me. "OH, dad! I thought you were… Grey or whoever from school. What day is it? How many school days did I miss?" "It's Tuesday today, so you missed only two days of school. Well, if you want. We can go home today!"Dad announced, beaming. "Yeah, let's do that. I feel fine."

—Third person Pov—

"Lucy, you haven't been in your zone since Monday, is everything okay?"Loke asked, holding Lucy's hand adoringly. "Yeah, I'm just fine. I'm thinking about stuffs."Lucy gently pulled her hand away and continued picking at her plate. "Please don't touch your food before getting out of line, Ms. Lucy."The lunch lady scowled, and Lucy dropped her fork on the tray like it was burning metal.

"Well, anyways, see you after lunch!"Loke paid and walked out of the door to his group of friends. "Yeah."Lucy punched in the codes on the number pad as the lunch lady continues to glare at her like an old witch. "Hey Lucy."Grey said, without any energy. His phone lights up in his pocket along with a twitter ringtone. He scans the text secretly, as a huge grin creeps up his cheeks. "Dude, what is it?Gajeel asked, eager to read it. "Natsu just told me he's coming back tomorrow!"Grey said, slipping the phone back in his pocket.

"Really? YAY!"Juvia clapped. "We have been so down because of this, and now we can get back in our tracks!"Levy cheered. Lucy didn't speak, but instead looked down on her plate and tried to hide her gigantic smile as she munched on her vegetables. "Whew, the big quarterback is finally going to be back. Our past game has been horrible because we kept passing to him even though he wasn't there."Gajeel snickered.

Lucy held her backpack straps as she slowly walks home. She likes Natsu, right? As a friend, right? She didn't know what to do, she looks down on the tiles, be careful not to step on the cracks! "OW!"She bumped into a girl, and winced. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Excuse me."Lucy apologised sincerely. She was shocked when she sees Lisanna,who was red-eyed and sniffing.

"Ugh, I didn't want anyone to see me. Now I'm totally busted for being a crybaby. She chuckled and wiped her tears away hurriedly. "Um, it's okay. I cry really ugly. Um, what's wrong, may I ask?"She looks at Lisanna, whose vision avoided hers. "Well, I really want to tell someone. But will you promise not to leak this secret to anyone?"Lisanna said, already walking down to a steep hill.

"Yeah, 'course."Lucy agreed, sitting down next to her. "I have been so slutty in school, all because I wanted to make myself someone else in school. My mom died two years ago. And my dad is already finding someone else. I don't know what the hell to do. And I can only express my anger and my feelings through being mean to… You."Lisanna mumbled, looking down on her knees.

"That's okay. I hope your family thing gets better. I mean, if you want, you can hang out with us at lunch. I'll talk to them."Lucy looked at her sympathetically. "Thanks. My friends are just using me for my money. I'm so tired of being a popular girl. Only in school people will listen to me… My dad just received a call from school saying my teasing was reported to the principal… I don't even know what came over my head for the past two years."Lisanna poured out her heart to Lucy, not even realising she is telling Lucy some of her deepest secrets.

"Don't worry, LisannaOkay, um… You must get back now. I think your dad will be worried about you if you stay out too long."Lucy said, soothingly. "Yeah, sure. If he really cared about me he wouldn't bring that woman in front of my eyes."Lisanna scoffed, her eyes getting redder. "It's okay, Lisanna, here, think about it this way. You can set that as a goal to get into a great college, and then you can raise a beautiful flawless family by yourself, and forget all about this drama. But, he is still your dad, Lisanna. He loves you with all his heart."Lucy held Lisanna's hand. "Um, thanks, Lucy."Lisanna brushed her white bangs out of her eyes and smiled.

"Alrighty, I shall be heading back home now. See you tomorrow, Lisanna!"Lucy got up and started walking back up to the sidewalk. Lisanna watched Lucy disappear from her visions, and headed back after a few more minutes.

It was just about time when I finished up the homework that I missed, and I heard a few knocks on the bedroom door. I mean, can I believe that Wendy was actually being nice and asking for my OPINION before she barges in? Of course not. So it had to be one of my friends. My parents just scream my name and make me run downstairs no matter what critic situation I am in. For example, the last episode of the final season of a show. Yeah, it's pretty horrible.

"Hmm? Who is it?"I asked carelessly,chewing on my pencil. "It's me, Lucy."Holy crap it's Lucy okay okay is my hair okay oh no I am not wearing pants I gotta pull on my pants don't want her to see my Spongebob boxers okay okay I am ready. "Come on in Lucy welcome to your new home!"I stuttered and sat on my bed in a weird praying position.

Third POV

"Um… Hey. I was just, wondering if you feel better."Lucy stared at the TV like she was really interested in buying the new juice blender that has five sharp blades for better juicing. "Oh, me? I am as good as a gumdrop!"Natsu slapped his chest violently and started to cough. "Um. You okay?"Lucy asked, feeling awkward. "OH yeah. *cough*. SO*cough* what else do you want to say?"Natsu gulped down some water from his poop shaped cup. "Um, do you want to have an overnight picnic or something with the group this Saturday? It's gonna be me, Grey and Juvia. We were wondering if you wanted to come, but if you don't feel well you can TOTALLY not come."Lucy explained, emphasising on the word totally.

"Huh, sure I'll go."Natsu blushed at the very thought of Lucy and him, looking at the stars, while the gentle night breeze brushed on their face. It seemed like the perfect scenery for a perfect, romantic kiss. Well, Natsu knew it was never in a million years, since Loke will probably set up a secret camera and watch the whole thing like a pervert behind his computer screen.

"Okay, great! See you tomorrow, Natsu!"Lucy's face brightened as she exited out the door. "Ok. Bye, Lucy!"Natsu couldn't help but smile as he looks at Lucy's smile. It seemed as if her smile was contagious, it was a virus, spreading to every single cell of Natsu's body.

"Ugh, I need some food to keep my mind away from these girl crap."Natsu huffed and puffed to his bed and grabbed a Pringle can. "Must, forget, about, Lucy."He fisted the barbecue flavoured yum yums into his mouth and visualised them as Loke's eyeballs. "Man, when have I became so sensitive and… girly?Okay, I need to go out and get a run."Natsu threw his can on the ground and zipped up his sweater. It was getting colder and colder here in Magnolia.

"Be back by curfew!"His mom yelled as he walked out the door. "Be back by curfew."Natsu mimicked and rolled his eyes. He started jogging in a nice, fast pace on the route to school. "SUP NATSU!"Grey suddenly appeared out of no where. "Dude! Why are you everywhere?"Natsu whines at the frequent appearance of his annoying best friend.

"I was just on the way of going to your house! Why are you out here? You should go back to rest."Grey started shoving Natsu back his tracks. "Stop! DUDE! I am on an exercise rant to keep my mind off Lucy!"Natsu started resisting, and Grey was no match for him. "Okay, okay. I guess I will just do some extra nonsense "football practice"with the lovesick Natsu."Grey made an "as if" sign with his hands.

They started chatting along about school and coach Strauss, when suddenly they halted at an unbelievable scene. "If that is Loke, I am going to scream."Natsu was not very happy about this unexpected reunion with his love rival. "Come on, let's sneak behind them and tackle him."Grey suggested, tip-toeing to the back of the tree.

"Man, I can't wait when I get to finally have Lucy!"Loke high fived one of his Emo gang friend. "Oh, yeah. She is a HOTTIE!"The Emo friend chuckled in the most disgusting way you can ever imagine. "Don't hold me back, dude. DON'T HOLD ME BACK!"Natsu shout whispered as he tried to break out of Grey's arms. "I won't let you get expelled, and that's that!"Grey started dragging Natsu back. "Hold up! I gotta record this!"Natsu pulled out his phone and started frantically taking a video.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for her body, who would ever want to be near that nerd girl who is all obsessed with books and stuffs."Loke pulled the cigar out of his mouth, a grey ring of smoke disappeared into the air. "YES I GOT SOME GOOD STUFFS!"Natsu screamed as they both darted back to Natsu's house. "I can't believe Loke is SUCH a bastard! I mean, he looked all nice gentleman like please allow me to open the door for you. BUT he is ACTUALLY all nice gentleman like please allow me to touch your hand before opening the door like a retarded PERVERT!"Grey was fuming, too.

"Well… I'm not sure if we should show this to Lucy."Natsu replayed the video over and over again. "Why? Are you helping Loke? I mean, you HATE Loke!"Grey couldn't understand the sudden sympathy Natsu is having for Loke. "I'm not covering for him, I just don't want to see Lucy being sad…"Natsu imagined Lucy's eyes beginning to water. "See you tomorrow. Think about it, Natsu."Grey sighed and turned around, walking back to the road leading to Grey's house.

"MKAY, BUT I AM GOING TO MAKE LOKE AND THAT EMO GANG CRY SO MUCH THEY TURN INTO NEMOS!"Natsu shouted behind Grey. "What are you even talking about?"Grey made a confused face and shook his head, before snickering.

Natsu couldn't understand the thing about love, it was so… Complicated and driven by emotions. Why can't Love be math? Or science? It just goes a certain way, it will never branch off into confusing resolutions and make people sad, mad or happy. "If only I was a dragon."
