Disclaimer: I don't own Fariy Tail. Just the plot. :D

Lucy had soon learned that Levi was a kind and outgoing person, she was the same age as Lucy and liked many things that Lucy did. They talked all class about how '' didn't really care what you did. He never listened to the principle and just taught the way he wanted to. They told each other stories and spoke about what they want to do or what they like. Levi even wants to be the first to read her novel she was working on. Lucy was having a great day.

It was lunch and Lucy had invited Levi to lunch with her and Mirajane. She was hoping Mirajane wouldn't mind, but Levi told her they already knew each other, and were friends, so it was fine.

The three girls sat and talked for ages, barely touching their lunch. At the beginning Mirajane brought another girl with blue hair. (what was with the weird hair colors here?) Her name was Jubia. She was shy and seemed to be very considerate and kind from Lucy's point of view. Right now they were talking the classic topic all girls talked about: boys.

"So," Mirajane started, "Who do you think is the cutest? In all grades?" Her question was directed at Levi, who in turn responded:

"I'm not too sure. I'm mean, Luxus is kinda cute," Lucy notice how Mirajane cringed. "There's also… Gazille…" Both Mirajane and Jubia gasped.

"Gazille?" Mirajane gasped, the second time. "I mean, not only is he a horrible person, but he's apart of a gang." She said the last word as if it was curse to say it loud.

"Besides, he's not even that cute…" Jubia muttered. Lucy felt a little lost, considering she had no idea who these people were… And did she just say gang?

Levi seemed to notice Lucy's confusement for she decided to explain to her.

"You see," She started, "As you know, we don't live in the greatest of areas." Jubia snorted. "Well, we have a huge gang problem."

"Gang?" Lucy questioned, curious.

"Just a group of people who like to either fight, sell drugs or just use weapons." Mirajane stated. Lucy's eyes widened. There are kids that are in gangs?

"Well," Levi continued. "Some students here are in them. Gazille, for instance." Lucy nodded.

"But, he's not even the strongest. Maybe the scariest looking…" Levi snapped her head in Mirajane's direction. Did she have a crush on Gazille?

"There's lots of kids who are in gangs here." Jubia continued. "The strongest or most known would be… Gray Fullbuster," Jubia sighed. What was that? "Natsu Dragoneel, Erza Scarlet, Gerald…" she trailed off.

"The point is, the people you stay away from are those people." Mirajane snapped her head at both Levi and Jubia as she said this. "The main ones are Natsu, Gray, Erza and Gazille. They're the most well-known." hmm. Lucy mused. Gangs? That sounds kinda exciting…

NO, no, Mirajane said to stay away from them. Besides they did sound kinda scary…

Lucy was getting ready to go home, it was late and mainly everyone was gone. She was still here because she was having a conversation with the principle about the needs of the school and how her first day went. Most. Boring. Conversation. Ever.

Sighing as she walked to the back down, Lucy stopped when she heard yelling. Wasn't everyone gone? Curious, Lucy looked down the corridors. There was another door, the side doors. It seemed the noises were coming from there. Slowly, Lucy walked down silently, creeping next to the door's window, and she looked outside. She gasped.

There was a tall boy, with pink hair (seriously? Pink?) surrounded by at least 6 other students. Four of them seemed to be twice the height and weight of the pink haired boy. She tried to hear what they were saying:

"…ail has done us in for the last time. Our guys are pissed, see?" She heard one of the boys surround the pink one say. A course of 'yeah!' or 'damn right' went through the air. The pink boy smirked.

"Oh yeah?" His grin was large and lopsided, and Lucy found that it was intimidating, yet it fit him. "What ya gonna do bout' it?" He challenged. What an idiot! He's going to get creamed! Lucy screamed in her head. She turned to leave, I have to get help. When she heard the sound of a body falling on pavement. In horror, she turned to look the window again. She gasped, this time for a complete different reason.

The pink boy had given the tallest guy a good punch in the face that sent him down to the ground. The guy's buddy that standing next to him recovered from his shock to round a punch of his own. Lucy squeezed her eyes shut. After some scuffling she heard two pounds on the pavement. two? she opened her eyes to see 3 of the six, (the 3 being the largest ones there,) on the ground under the pink boys feet. how the-? She was cut off when the other two beside the one talking earlier run at the pink one. two on one?! both coming on each side, they charged at him. The pink one dodged both by swinging his back to the ground, catching himself with his hands and swinging his feet to smack them both in the face. They both fell to the ground, joining the other three. Lucy stared in astonishment. Who was this guy?

The pink one laughed. "So, you thought you could face us when you can't even touch me?" he taunted. The last one, which Lucy guessed was the leader, looked completely livid.

"You wont be laughing soon, salamander. Your going down." Salamander? Lucy thought, confused. She didn't have time to ponder it, however, as the leader whipped out a switch blade. Both she, and the pink boy gasped. Although, his sounded more like a 'Tch' than a gasp…

"Oh, wow. He's gotta' knife. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" The pink one started laughing, clutching his stomach. Didn't he see the seriousness of the situation? Was he insane?! The leader growled and charged at the pink one,

"RUN!" It took a moment for Lucy to find out that it was she, who had screamed out for the pink one. The pink guy staggered for a moment, her yell distracting him from blocking the one jab aimed for his chest. He did, however manage to dodge half and it only hit his arm. He didn't even wince. Lucy cursed herself for yelling something so stupid. He probably could have dodged that.

The leader looked from left to right, panicking. "Who was that?!" he demanded. The pink one had already jumped kicked him in the face by the end of the shout, and the leader was out cold. Lucy sighed in relief. Wait. Why did she even care? Sure, she didn't want to see anyone get hurt, but this extent that she cares was quite large. The pink boy had already picked up the knife and his back was to her.

"Come out, I know you're there." She froze. Was he talking to her? "C'mon. I notice you the minute you got there. Just come out, I'm not gonna hurt you or anything…" He muttered the last part. Back still towards her.

Lucy slowly started opening the door. Should she be doing this? She came closer to him and was able to see his features. He had a black t-shirt on with a snake like scarf and black shorts. He look maybe a year older then her and his pink hair was spiky. Suddenly, she turned towards her and gave her a large grin. She recoiled back slightly. He chuckled.

"Thanks for trying to save my butt!" He rubbed the back of his neck. His eyes were large and pointy. His eyes going from black to a dark brown. His teeth were sharp looking as if he could rip her completely just by opening his mouth. "Those guys were weak, just looking for a fight" she snapped back to reality when he started talking again. "nothing to worry about."

She blinked "…do you always get into fights?" She questioned. He blinked back.

"sometimes." He shrugged. She looked down at his arms, his t-shirt only showing half of the fore arm. His muscle looked bigger than her head.

"What's you name?" The question was out of her mouth before she could consider if saying it was a good choice. He grinned playfully.

"Shouldn't you give your name before asking another's?" She scoffed. smartass. He laughed. "Just kidding. I'm Natsu. What about you? I haven't seen you before."

Natsu…Natsu…the name was familiar. She dismissed it. "I'm Lucy, I just moved here." He grinned at her, making her blush. He was cute. He stuck out his hand.

"Nice to meet'cha Luce!" Lucy sweat dropped, and blushed. Already a nickname? She couldn't help but feel giddy though, and she took his hand. My first nickname. She thought as she grinned back at him. Suddenly, something red caught her eye. She took his hand and twisted it to the side.

"Your bleeding!" She suddenly remembered him getting cut in the arm. How did she forget?

"oh," he said, sounding genuinely surprised. "look at that." She rounded on him.

"Don't just say 'look at that'!" he blinked, uncomprehending. idiot. "Your bleeding!" He blinked again.

"So?" She was starting to get angry.

"So, we need to get you bandaged."

"why..?"

"Because your bleeding!!" he smirked.

"I don't see the problem." she smacked him on the head. "Ow!" Pfft. Lucy thought. That didn't hurt you. Lucy rolled her eyes.

"C'mon." She said as she started dragging him. He resisted.

"c'mon, where?" he dug his feet into the ground, stubbornly refusing to move. She stopped and turned around to face him. "Where are you planning on taking me?"

Lucy sighed, frustrated. Here she was, trying to be a good person, when the person hurt refuses her help! "My apartment." he gave a look. "so you can get bandaged up, moron!" She yelled in defence. He gave her a wide, lop-sided smirk.

"I'm just playing with you, it's fine." she sighed and motioned for him to follow her. He grinned. "Thanks." She suddenly felt the warmth that she knew you got when you helped someone who appreciated it. She smiled back, and continued to lead the way, both in a comfortable silence.

Natsu gave a loud happy sigh as he collapsed on Lucy's couch. It was soft and comfortable, and after being up all night and fighting, he was exhausted.

"Here you go," Lucy handed him a first aid kit. He looked at it in his lap. He's never used one of these before… He was surprised when she had told him to bandage his wound. Not only was it not bad, (he's had worse) but no one's ever actually cared before. She even went a far as to drag him to her apartment. Who's naïve enough to bring a boy she just met into her apartment?

"Need some help? Or do you always stare at things for an hour?" Lucy's voice knocked Natsu out of his day dream. He grinned. She was weird.

"Yeah, actually. How do you use this?" Lucy gave him a surprised look. She hadn't expected him to actually need help.

"Hasn't your mother or father ever treated your wounds before?" His grin never faltered as he stated:

"Nope! Never had parents before." Lucy almost dismissed it as something not important by the way he'd said. As if he was saying "no, I've never tried that before, is it good?" Did he not care… ?

Lucy shifted. "…Ooh." she said awkwardly. He stared at her,

"so, how do you do this?" He asked, holding up the box.

"Oh! Right." She took the box from his hands and started treating his wound. He's never had parents before…? What happened to them? Why is he so happy? I mean, my father was never great, but I always had my mother supporting me. I'd never want to know what it'd be like to have no one beside you… She thought to herself. She felt complete pity for the pink-haired boy in front of her.

"Hey." He snapped. She looked up, surprised. He had a hard look on his face that suddenly made her afraid of him. well, he did take out 6 guys on his on. One with a knife. "I don't like that look you had just now." She blinked. what? "That just screamed pity. I don't need it, so stop." He said, almost cold,

"s-sorry?" He looked away, and she continued bandaging him. maybe he DID care… ?

After five more minutes, she was finished. He jumped up, a huge smile on his face.

"Thanks, Luce!" She smiled back at him.

"No problem."
