"Hey"

Lucy jumped and looked up at natsu. He was staring at her. Which scared her. "What?" she asked as she stopped drawing. He frowned and gave a stern look. "Draw me something" her eyes widened. "What?" she asked again. "Draw me something!" he pulled out a chair and sat down next to her desk. Lucy didn't know what to do.

"Ooh lover boy is going for it" gray laughed across the room. Making the others giggled at them. She sighed and looked down. "Natsu I-" he stared down at her pad. Ignoring her. Lucy looked up again at gray and the others. Gray looked at her and smirked. Sending shivers down her spine. She looked away from his stare.

"I don't feel up for it" she told him and continued drawing. "Why?" he looked at her. "You always seem to draw. Why can't you draw for me?" she sighed and slammed her pencil down. "I don't like being under pressure" she shot her eyes at the group of boys who couldn't seem to look away from the two.

Natsu glared at them. "Piss off ice head" he scowled at him and looked away again. "Fine." was all he said before chatting away with the others. "Sorry about that. They're idiots, always sticking their heads in to others business." he rested his head on his arms. "Can you draw me a dragon? I want it to be huge as well, and have a a super long tail"

"I don't want to still"

Natsu looked at her. "What? Why?" he questioned her. She shruggred and tried to ignore him. "I don't want to since you're going to probably ruin it and show it off to everyone. And there isn't anything I hate more than everyone seeing my work" Lucy huffed.

"You're an artist. Isn't it normal for artists to show their work?"

"Well for me, I feel like I'm showing off. Like i'm shoving it in others faces. Plus I pour my heart into each work. I don't want people to see my emotions"

Looking at him he had a small smile. But he gave a weird look towards her. It made her feel uncomfortable. "W-what" she stuttered. "You're weird luce" he laughed. "I'm weird?! And what's with the nickname?!" she shouted at him. Catching the attention of the people around them. Feeling her heart race from the anxiety she hung her head and continued drawing. Making natsu howl with laughter.

"You're so weird"

Lucy sat with levy and erza. Outside in the court yard at a picnic table. The picnic tables were rarely used. So they usually sat there to escape the big bustling crowds.

"Hey erza. Did you hear about that art gallery thing next week?" levy asked her while sipping on a milkshake from the fast food place near by. "Uh huh. I hope the have some ancient Greek armour and weapons. Oh god that'd be amazing"

Lucy shaded in the last part of her sketch. "Lu?" lucy looked up and smiled. But she was staring at her hands. "Your.. Your hands are all grey" she pointed at them. Lucy looked down at her hands. She laughed and wiped them off. "It's just some pencil. I hate it when it happens though. Cause then it ruins the picture" she sighed. Erza stared at the picture she drew. It made her smile.

"Oh yeah lucy you're probably excited. You're always stuck in your sketch books like levy and her books" lucy nodded. Levy snorted "And you with your erotic nove-" erza slammed her fists down. Her face the same color of her hair. Levy started to laugh. "Look, I only like them since the have good romance stories!"

"Oh yeah. Really great romance" lucy snorted and laughed. Erza shook her head and looked away. Embarrassed.

Natsu stood with his usual crowd. Gray, loke, gajeel. They all stood at the lockers. "I heard that jenny girl is supposed to be holding a party this weekend" loke said. "Uh huh. Isn't she the one that models?" gajeel asked. "Her and mirajane do."

"Laxus's a lucky bastard. Mirajanes sweet and hot" gray sighed. "Hey what about my juvia?!" gajeel asked. " No offense but she seems to clingy." gray told him. "And?" gajeel was scowling now. "Calm down boys." natsu put his hands out. "Oh hey, hows it going with that lucy girl?" gray smirked.

"Lucy? Oh hell no" gajeel started getting mad at natsu now. "Look! We just talk. As if anything would happen" he sighed. "I told you. I don't want you breaking her heart. " gajeel grabbed his shirt. "Okay okay! Geez. Pipe it down. No need to be getting so aggressive" he let go and stepped back.

"I've known lucy and juvia for awhile now. So I don't want you fuckers hurting them" he spat. "Fine with me" natsu sighed and leaned back. Gray just breathed out and leaned back as well. Loke just stood there and laughed. Running a hand through his hair natsu closed his eyes.

It was true. He didn't want to get together with lucy. In all honesty. Besides. Even if he tried she wouldn't.

He felt depressed thinking about it.

Natsu grabbed his stuff from his locker. Grabbing his homework and shoving it in his bag before zipping it up and walking away.

Lucy stood down the hallway. She held the sheet of paper in her hands. Her heart raced and her chest tightened. Lucy breathed in. Why was it so hard to hand him a stupid drawing? It made her feel anxious. What happens if he didn't like it? Or he gets mad? Oh god.

Lucy breathed out and started walking. It'll all have to wait.

"Natsu"

He turned around and faced her. "Hey l-" she shoved it at him and held it at his chest until he grabbed it. "You're welcome" she stormed off. Watching her walk away he looked down at the paper.

It was a drawing of a dragon. You could tell she worked hard on it. The paper felt thick in his hands. The shades she did were amazing. Even if she didn't like it her self. He couldn't help but stare at all the small details she did. From the eyes to the background.

"Well for me, I feel like I'm showing off. Like i'm shoving it in others faces. Plus I pour my heart into each work. I don't want people to see my emotions"

Even if it was a small sketch. It warmed his heart for some reason. She took the time and effort to make something for him. For sure he'll treasure it.

When he got home later on. He searched the house for scotch tape and hung it on his wall in his room. Her name was even scribbled at the bottom with the date of when she made it. Her name had a heart on the "I" in Heartfilia.

"Still weird this one"

Getting into bed he stared at the drawing. Still trying to take in each little detail she did. The scales looked real almost. It's huge wings filled the page.

Not even noticing it he fell asleep.

I had a cold last week so sorry for the delay (again).

It's the end of spring break for me. My hell begins again. Ugh. It's literally 3 am. I need sleep since I'm gone by 7:30. I swear i'm an insomniac since I barely sleep.

But! Heres the new chapter, don't forget to review and enjoy.
