Natsu P.O.V.
"Hmmm… get Lucy a gift…" I mumbled. I went to get my wallet, keys, and phone and left the house. I went to the music store where I'm sure they'll have some merch for The Smiths.
In the store, I went to the aisle where they had posters. I found a twenty-four by thirty-six The Smiths Flowers Manchester 1983 poster. I took it and went to where the mugs are where I found a To Die by Your Side is Such a Heavenly Way to Die mug. The words were written in nice, fancy, cursive writing. I grabbed a couple of Morrissey pins and a Meat Is Murder (Army Man) pin before I went to go purchase the items.
When I got home, I wrote an elaborate letter for Lucy. I called Levy and asked her to come over. Levy got here soon and we went to my room.
"So, what do you need help with?" Levy asked.
"Don't tell anybody this, especially Lucy, that I got her a gift; I need your help to put it in a bag and decorate it and stuff like that," I confessed.
"Aww… that's so cute! I'm sure she'll love it. And of course I will help you put the gift together," reassured Levy.
"Thanks Levy. I knew I could count on you," I replied.
Levy asked where I kept gift bags, tissue paper, and gift items like that. So I got an armful of the things she might need and gave them to her. She took the pins and put them in tissue paper. Then she took the pins that were in the tissue paper, and put them in the mug. After that, Levy took a few more tissue paper and wrapped it around the mug, so it sticks up. She puts it in a small bag that would fit it and stuck a bow on the outside of the gift bag. Later, she wrapped the poster stick with a polka-dotted wrapping paper. I watched her in awe as she does that. 'Why are girls so good at this?'
"Make sure you put your letter in the gift bag," Levy reminded me.
"Thanks Levy. I can't wait to give this to her," I thanked her.
"No problem. I guess I will get going. Bye Natsu."
"Bye Levy."
Lucy P.O.V.
I went to the store to buy Natsu some things for a gift. I bought him some food items such as a bag of hot Cheetos, and tortilla chips to go with the salsa, chocolate pudding, chocolate milk, and I got him a candy box of Hot Tamales. I basically got him junk food, but I know he works out; I have seen his biceps and abs. After buying all that junk, I went to the mall. I was looking for anything that he might like. I went to so many different stores. When I came out of the last store I was at, something caught my eye. I rushed over to the opposite side of where I came from and walked into the store. That's where I found a white scarf, outlined in black, with a red silhouette of a dragon that's at the bottom on the right side of the scarf. I immediately grasped it and went to go purchase it.
Back at home, I put the items together. First, I gift wrapped the scarf and put it at the bottom of the gift bag. Next, I arranged the food items on top of the scarf, so it will be mostly hidden. After I did that, I put some tissue paper to make the gift bag look nice. Later, I wrote a thank you card to Natsu and placed it in the bag. I relaxed after all the hard work I've done. Shopping and putting together a gift, leaves me exhausted.
'I can't wait to see his smile once he opens his gift. I love Natsu's smile; the way he shows his teeth and closes his eyes. He has the brightest, cheerful smile and it makes me feel really happy.'
*sigh* '…I think… I've fallen in love with him. I've always denied it and thought it was normal, but I can't help feeling this, strange way.' 'What if he doesn't like me back? He let me borrow his shirt but he would've done the same for the others, right? After all, we're friends, and he likes to help out his friends.'
I felt upset, so I went to my room and took out a book to read. I had some tears from my eyes, so it was hard to read. I gave up and just sat on my bed.
'Maybe I should tell him how I feel. I guess I will tell him after he opens my present. Yes. I will. After he opens it and stuff, I will tell him. I won't back down.'
Suddenly, I heard my phone do a little chime, signaling that I got a text. 'I wonder who it is.' I took my phone off my desk and unlocked the screen. I smiled as I got a text from a certain pink- headed person whom I was thinking about.
He texted: 'Hey Luce. Want to hang out?'
I texted back: 'Sure!'
Natsu replied: 'Cool. Meet me at the park.'
I grabbed my purse, keys, and Natsu's gift and headed out the door drove to the park and kept Natsu's gift in the car; I will give it to him later. I was looking around for him and found him on the swings.
"Hi Natsu!" I greeted him.
"Hi Luce. I'm glad that you're here," he responded back.
I sat on the swing next to him and kicked my feet back and forth until I was swinging. Natsu also did that and we chuckled as we felt the same joy we had when we were little kids on the swings. After walking around and talking and going on the playground, we walked to my car.
"I'm hungry," Natsu groaned.
"Me too," I agreed.
"Let's meet at the café," Natsu decided.
"Okay. I will see you soon," I agreed.
I got into my car and drove to the café; Natsu did the same.
a/n: I'm almost done with this story. I will probably work on another story later on. sorry i took quite a while to update, but i finally did it. i was trying to cope after a recent death of a family friend. i think writing this story helped me to cope, besides spending time on the internet. but then like i said on my last chapter, i started withdrawing a little on doing things that i usually do a lot (going on tumblr, fb, writing/updating this story, etc.) im okay, as long as i dont think about it as much (thats why i distract myself.) okay bye. i thank you guys for reading my story so far. please review and maybe give me advice?
