Lucy POV

I headed home and asked Mom if she could help with getting Grandine a present. She suggested flowers from our garden since she's into plants. Of course, I thought. Then I went to my room and thought about everything that's happened in the last 3 days. Frustrated I do what I do when I'm upset. I wrote a poem.

Watching life go by I cry

Friends gone that I thought would stay by my side

Feelings I locked away

Are now here to stay

Even though I thought I could live

Free of pain I knew I'd find

What's wrong with me he loves her

So why do I still hope I can be his future

Tears fell on the page as I wrote. Well might as well get some sleep tonight, right?

TIME SKIP TO THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

NATSU POV

Ding Dong

"I'll get it" I called over my shoulder. When I opened the door I saw the Heartfilia's. "Come on in thanks for coming"

"Oh isn't he charming Jude."Layla squealed.

" Hello Natsu-san, excuse Layla she's a bit ... high strung today -_-" Jude said.

" Ah no problem?" I replied as I sweat dropped.

They brushed past me and went inside.

"Hey Natsu , you can take these flowers inside. Later!" Luce exclaimed as she shoved the flowers in my hand and started walking back.

"OI Luigi you can't shove this on me and leave!"

"LUCY KICK"

"Okay OWWW"When I looked up she was gone. What the hell?!

"Naatsuu come help with the plates"

"Coming!" I called.

LUCY POV

EEEEEEP! Why did I leave. All he did was try to stop me. And he called me Luigi! Do I LOOK like a Mario character. Stupid Natsu why do I like him. He's a stupid, rude, funny, sweet, cute, strong, sarcastic jerk. Ugh I'm a mess am I insulting him or complimenting. Whatever guess I'll just go back to the party.

I went inside the house and told Grandine happy birthday.

"Thank you Lucy dear, for the flowers too."

"No problem I'll be upstairs if you need me"

"Alright have fun"

"Um thanks?" It came out as a question cause I mean honestly who would have fun by themselves. The Dragneels are weird sometimes. When I went upstairs I went to Natsu's room and sat on his bed. I pulled out my phone and started texting Levy-Chan.

Hi Levy-Chan I'm bored talk to meee :'(

Lu-Chan don't be so dramatic

Hehe wyd

"Why are you on my bed?!"

"Cause its comfy"

"Whatever" The pink haired teen sighed

"Why'd you leave earlier?" He asked.

"Felt like it"

"You can't just walk around cause you feel like it . You could get hurt or killed"

"Why do you care?"

Levy this really annoying guy just told me what to do Should i hit him or leave

Oh Lu-chan you love it

Shut up

Hehe

Natsu took my phone and turned it off. "Oi weirdo listen when someone talks to you."

"My name's not weirdo"

"Lucy I care cause your my friend. What would I do if you just got hurt." Does he have any idea how much that hurts!? Friend zoned by my crush again.

"Natsu I can take care of myself"

"So if a guy just feels like overpowering you against your will you can beat him"

"YES"

Next thing I knew I was on my back and Natsu towered over me. He bent down and whispered in my ear.

" You are strong Luce, but a man is stronger and you have no idea how beautiful you are."

I struggled against him but he held firm. "If I just do what I feel, you would always be in my arms but the world isn't like that is it?" He smirked. He move from my ear and kissed my neck. Then he got up and left the room.

"What the hell was that?!" I shouted.
