Natsu's back slammed against the floor. His head did so as well. He seen stars and pain shot through his back like electricity. "Ow" he said quietly and groaned in pain. Something heavy fell on his chest. It mad the pain even worse. He heard another groan. But not from himself. "Watch where you're going idiot!" he spat angrily at whoever it was that made him fall.

"I-I'm sorry! Did you hit your head?"

He looked up and seen the person get off of him. It was that lucy girl. Staring at him with her brown orbs. He sat up quickly in shock of who it was. "Does it hurt?" she asked and got close to him looking at his head. He pushed her off and winced in pain as pain shot through his whole back. "I'm fine" he grabbed the side of his head and got up. She looked down and started grabbing the papers around them and started putting them back into the box.

He watched her as she put them in. He stared. Feeling as if he should help her. Finally giving in he sighed. "Here" he got down on his knees and started grabbing papers as well. She looked at him surprised. He stopped and looked at her. "What?" he said as she blushed embarrassed. "You don't have to help me" she told him. He ignored her and kept grabbing the few that were left. He handed them to her to grab. She put the rest in the box.

After getting up she grabbed the boxes and started carrying them. "Thanks for helping" She turned around and smiled before she walked away. He sighed again and got up running after her. "Lemme see" he said as he walked beside her. "What?" she asked trying to look at him. But the boxes were in the way. He grabbed the top box and started carrying it. The weight of the box surprising him. He figured he should help carry them than risk someone else or her self getting hurt.

"Look it's fine. I'm not someone frail. I can carry these boxes" she insisted. "Where are these going anyway?" he asked walking away. Completely ignoring what she said. "Hey! I said I could-" he stopped and glared at her. She stopped in her tracks. "Look. If you carry these you'll hurt someone again." he warned her and gave off another cold stare. Lucy looked down. He just scowled. Annoyed, and kept walking.

"I'm natsu by the way" he said as he shifted his arms, trying to hold the box. "I know, you're the jock of the school" she said. He looked at her. He was surprised that she knew him. But she wasn't wrong either; about him being the jock of the school. "And you're?" He asked her. She turned towards him and gave him a warm smile. "I'm lucy".

His heart almost skipped a beat from that smile. He looked away from her. "These are going to the office by the way." Lucy breathed in. She still felt nervous around this guy. She felt bad she bumped into him. He hurt his head even. She should've looked. Her face heated up in embarrassment remembering she fell onto his chest earlier. Which hurt a lot. It was like falling onto the floor. It wasn't even a soft landing.

"We're heading to the nurses office after that as well" she told him. "Why? Do we have to deliver one of these boxes as well?" he asked. She shook her head. "Your injuries" he groaned and threw his head back. "I'm fine! I just fell that's all" she scoffed and stopped walking. He stopped in his tracks as well "Look you're going. You hit your head and your back"

"Exactly. And it was nothing. I play hockey for fun a little stumble won't do me any harm" he walked away from her. She sighed and kept walking. "And let me remind you it was your fault I hit my head." She felt a sharp pain. A pang of guilt washed over her face. Natsu looked down and kept walking. Both trying to avoid the silence between them.

"I'll see you tomorrow!" levy waved as she walked away. Lucy waved back and smiled. She yawned tiredly. She grabbed her phone from her pocket to check the time. "Time for work" she said as she thrusted her phone into her pocket. She grabbed her bike and rode off down the street heading back to her place.

"Hey natsu" lissana smiled at him. Lissana was an ex girlfriend of his. The two try not to dwell on the subject. Natsu watched as lucy got on her bike and rode down the street and out of sight. He sighed and put his head down. "Natsu are you coming over later?" gray asked and stood next to him. He moved away from the two. "Probably." he said before lissana grabbed his arm and pressed her self on him. Instantly he felt annoyed. Grabbing his arm away from her reach.

"Natsu I wanted to ask you if you wanted to do some karaoke on the weekend. Or maybe sneak into a bar?" she winked at him. "I don't drink." he started to walk away. "I'm heading home" he waved to gray before he walked away.

"Geez" he sighed and ran a hand though his hair. Lissana's always been like that. Clingy and wanting attention. It was actually one of the reasons they broke up. Natsu couldn't stand being suffocated everyday and getting the blame for every fight they had. Lissana's even lucky natsu still talks to her, neverless hang out.

Lucy went home and got ready for work. She had a part time job at this family restaurant as a waitress and cashier. She knew the owner well. And even some of her friends work there. It pays the bills. Just barely though. But at least she had a job. When she was finally ready she got on her bike again and sped down the hill. Passing by natsu who had his headphones on.

Lucy sped down the hill in a fast speed. Natsu felt a breeze go by him. As he looked he spotted lucy her on the bike. Her uniform blowing in the breeze. He took one headphone out of his ear and watched as she stopped behind a building and locking her bike before heading inside. He shrugged and popped the other headphone back into his ear.

"Hey lucy" mirajane flashed her a smile before she walked away with a tray of drinks. "Alright" lucy said as she took off her sweater and blew a hair away from her face. She grabbed a note pad and pen and walked up to her first table. "Let's just get this over with." she said to her self before reaching the table.

"Hi may I take your order?"

Lucy yawned and dusted her self off and plopped down on a stool. "Long day today wasn't it?" mirajane sat next to her and rested her head on her arms. "Yeah." she closed her eyes and put her head down. "My feet hurt" lucy complained. "Mine too" mirajane slouched over. "Cheer up" the chef said and handed the two orange cream soda's. "No no it's okay" lucy refused as she sat up straight.

He raised his eyebrows and nudged it even closer. She looked at mira who was already chugging hers down. "Thanks" she smiled and started downing hers. "You guys can take the day off tomorrow. You guys have been working hard this past month" the guy handed them their tips from tonight. "I have to work hard. SInce lissana keeps on shopping." mira slammed her drink down.

"What about elfman?" lucy asked her. "He got fired. He's looking for a job still. But since lissana is so lazy and doesn't wanna get off her butt I have to work my butt off and-" she stopped her self. She shook her head and smiled. "Never mind about that" mira laughed nervously. "Oh that's right lucy, you live alone as well".

Lucy nodded in response. "Yeah.. But it's fine. It'll help me later in life. You know?" she smiled it off.

"Alright I'm heading home. I still have history homework" Lucy got up and walked to the back. Mira followed behind her as they both put on their sweaters, lucy grabbed her bag. "I'll see you at school" lucy waved to mirajane as she stepped outside. The door slammed behind her as she walked to her bike to unlock it. The cold bit at her skin. "It's so cold" she said to her self.

"Oi"

Lucy jumped and screamed scared. Scared as well he jumped and scrambled towards lucy. He grabbed her shoulders "Look calm down it's me!" he exclaimed. She calmed down and took a deep breath. She hit him in the arm. "You scared me!" he crossed his arms. "Nice outfit" he looked at her from head to toe. "Laugh all you want." she said as she walked away with her bike.

"Hey come on" natsu walked behind her. She stopped and looked at him. "Can I walk you home?" he asked her. She looked at her bike. He nodded and kicked at the ground. "Wait, how did you know I worked here?" lucy asked him. "I was coming back from gray's place, seen you the other night sitting at the window"

"Creepy.."

"Hey!"

She snickered and covered her mouth. "If you wanted to I guess, my place isn't far from here. Biking just gets me here faster" natsu walked beside her. "Is it okay with your dad to be around boys?" natsu joked. Lucy just looked down "I wouldn't know" she kept walking. "Shit" natsu thought.

"Don't worry. It's.. not bad" lucy smiled at him again. He put his hands in his pocket so they wouldn't get cold. "Look I'm sorry for snapping back earlier today." lucy waved her hand. "No. You were right. It was my fault. I should've watched were I was going" he looked down at his feet feeling guilty now.

A silence built around them. Lucy felt that nervousness again. Natsu on the other hand felt nervous as well. He should've thought this through. At least he could start up a conversation topic.

"So you're an artist?"

He asked her and her face lit up. "Sort of." she blushed and scratched her face. "I love sketching and painting mostly." she smiled and continued walking. "What do you mean by sort of?" he asked her. "Well.. I guess I don't consider my self an artist. It's mostly just a hobby" he held his hand out. She stared at him. "What?" she asked him confused.

"Your sketchbook" he kept his hand out. She looked into her bag for it. Grabbing it she barely got it out before he snatched it from her hands. "H-hey!" he started flipping through the pages. His jaw dropped at the sight of them.

Pictures of the ocean, people, scenery, and flowers filled most pages. They all looked realistic. He kept flipping through them. Even more pictures appeared. "And you don't call yourself an artist" he scoffed. "I told you it's just a hobby" she grabbed it from him. Her heart racing. He felt dissapointed as she took it away from him.

"You're really good you know that?" he looked down at her. She shrugged her shoulders. "I hate the way I shade. And how I make hands" he scoffed again. "You shouldn't think that low of your art, or your self" he told her. The compliment made her ears go hot. She wasn't used to different people commenting on her art. It made her worry even more since it was Natsu Dragneel for crying out loud.

They stopped at her front of her door once they reached her place. "Well this is my stop" she looked into her bag for her keys. "Do you and your mom live here?" he asked her. "Nope just me" she stuck the key into the door. "Where are your parents?" he asked her. She stopped and went silent. "It's a long story" she said as she opened the door. "Sorry" he apologised.

"It's fine" she sighed and walked inside. After putting the bike inside she stood in the door way. "Thanks for walking me home" she smiled. "No problem" she took the key out of the door. "I'll see you at school" he started walking away. She waved at him. Before she shut the door he waved back and smiled even.

Natsu smiled and dug into his pocket for his phone. He put his head phones on and scrolled on his phone for a song. Picking a playlist he walked away. The memory of her drawings still on his mind.
