I do not own Fairy Tail. This is an alternate universe from Hiro Mashima's work.
Chapter 2:
Lucy glanced at the boy as he introduced himself and then at his hand. She ignored his hand and looked away from it.
"You're with that demon, aren't you?" Her voice was full of malice as she spoke to him. The princess looked up at him as she scowled. "If you're with that creature, then don't touch me."
The pink-haired boy let his hand fall to his side as he looked towards Igneel. The red dragon just shook his head and Natsu walked over to the dragon. They stayed over by the entrance of the cave and talked amongst themselves.
As the sky began to darken, the dragon flew off into the sunset. Natsu turned towards Lucy and started to walk towards her. She noticed him walking towards her and shrunk back against the wall of the cave.
"S-stay backā¦" The princess said with a quivering voice. Her eyes were full of fear as she tried to hide her shaking.
The pink-haired boy sighed as he stopped moving closer to her. He ruffled his hair with his hand before tossing her an apple and walking back to the opening of the cave.
"Igneel will be back with food." Natsu said as he sat down with his back to her. "We're not going to hurt you either."
Lucy rolled her eyes at his statement before picking up the apple. She inspected it before rubbing it on her gown then taking a bite.
Her eyes closed as she felt the apple's juices running down her chin and throat. The princess took another bite and another before the apple was all gone. But the sounds of her stomach continued telling her that it was still hungry. She looked towards Natsu and took a breath before opening her mouth.
"C-can I have another?" The blonde said hesitantly. His onyx eyes opened wide with shock before he smiled at her and tossed her another one.
By the time that Igneel returned to the cave, Lucy was sitting next to Natsu watching the sunset. Natsu was smiling at her and talked to her even though she barely spoke a few words back to him.
The red dragon smiled at the pink-haired boy as he returned to the lair. The princess only nodded her head to the dragon before she moved to the back of the cave again.
"I'm glad she seems to like you, Natsu." Igneel whispered to Natsu in a deep voice. His eyes focused on Natsu as he curled up to block the entrance of the cave.
