~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~
"What?"
"I said okay. . . I'll be your girlfriend."
Lucy was feeling very uncomfortable as her fellow student's kept staring at Natsu's and her hands that were laced together. She lowered her head, trying to avoid the stares and whispers around her.
She glanced up at her pink haired boyfriend to see if he's in the same state she was in but he was perfectly normal. A big grin plastered on his face while keeping his head up high.
He looked like he was enjoying this and it amazed Lucy. Lucy kept her head lowered, walking to their next period.
She wasn't going to get used to this. "Hey Luce, doesn't this feel nice?"
"Nice? How?"
"I don't know, but you should really raise your head and look at these shocked faces, they're hilarious." Lucy hesitated before slowly lifting her head to see every one of the student's jaws opened wide.
Lucy giggled a bit, seeing Gray's wide eyes and open mouth along with some of her friends. Natsu grinned and squeezed Lucy's hand, "See? It's funny."
"It is. . ."
"Now, girlfriend, let's get to English!" Lucy tried her best not to blush as Natsu called her his girlfriend.
She wasn't use to that yet, well, not yet at least. She was used to all this sweet talk and pick-up lines but when they come from Natsu she feels like she has butterflies in her stomach.
Her heart races and for some reason, she blushes. Lucy never blushes! Especially not to boys and especially Natsu Dragneel, the biggest playboy of the school. How did she even end up in this situation?
Lucy sighed, making her way inside and towards her seat.
Natsu sat couple seats away from her but he never hesitated to shout across the room to her nor get up and walk over to her.
Now this was something she needed to get used to and she hopes it'll be quick to get used to.

"Lu-Chaan!" Levy sang as she came skipping to the blonde who sat next to the pink haired male in the lunch room.
Lucy raised her head as she munched on a piece of chip. Natsu also raised his head, his mouth stuffed with food. "Oh, Levy-Chan."
"Congratulations, I heard from Erza." Levy winked, eyeing them two. Lucy felt her face heating up again as she looked away, swallowing the salty chip while Natsu thanked her, happy that they're finally a couple.
"Lu-Chan, are you blushing?"
"She's been blushing a lot recently,"
"Oh, is Lu-Chan in love?" Lucy shot Levy a look, feeling even more embarrassed. "Levy-Chan! Stop teasing me and go kiss Gajeel or something!" This time, Levy blushed looking away from them.
Natsu smirked, drinking out of his bottle. He was actually enjoying this, a lot.
Less girl's come and flirt with him since now he was taken by the one and only Lucy Heartfillia and they also heard some rumors that Lucy is a jealous type and will kill somebody if they close with her boyfriend.
Since then, nobody's gotten close to Natsu for the pass 4 hours they've been dating.
Guy's don't come up to Lucy to flirt anymore, either. Since Natsu has a well-built body, football and street-fighting mind, they don't even dare to get close to Lucy.
They were all afraid they might get hurt if they try and pull something in front of either one of them and so, they've been enjoying time together and with their friends.
"Is Lucy in looove?" Natsu teased, grabbing her free hand. Lucy looked at Natsu in disapproval, glaring slightly. "S - Shut up. . ."
"Ooh, I think she is Natsu!"
"Invite me to your wedding!" Lisanna shouted, bouncing up and down towards them. "Sure!" Natsu quickly agreed while Lucy groaned, face-palming herself.
Sometimes she thinks her friends are a couple of idiots, which is, a true statement.
"Lucy, relax. We're just joking unless Natsu is serious about marrying you." Lisanna said as she turned to look at Natsu.
Natsu ignored her, continuing to eat his food. He isn't going to answer that since Lucy was fidgeting uncomfortably in her seat.
"Leave her alone you guys, it's enough that everybody stares at them." Erza said, coming to their table with a tray of lunch.
She sat down next to Levy while Gray and Juvia trailed behind her. "Thanks Erza," Lucy mumbled. Erza nodded as she started to dig into her food.
"So, pinky, how does it feel to be with somebody?" Gray asked, leaning against the table towards Natsu. Natsu swallowed, looking at his rival.
"I like it, now I don't need to worry about any girls but Lucy."
"D'aww, that's sweet."
"Lucy, I wish you luck," Gray smirked as he opened his water bottle. Natsu glared at him, giving his knee a kick under the table making him yelp in pain.
"Gray-Sama, are you okay?" Juvia gasped seeing the pained look on Gray's face. "P – Perfect," He mumbled, glaring back at Natsu.
"Did you just kick me?"
"I don't know, did I?" Natsu asked, smirking at him. Gray kicked Natsu back and he groaned, kicking him back.
They went back and forth till Gray missed and kicked Lucy in the knee hard. Lucy screamed and Gray's eyes went wide along with Natsu's.
"Lucy, are you okay?" Gray asked. "No!" Lucy hissed, tears springing into her eyes. Since Gray used to play soccer he kicks super hard and Lucy now had experienced the kick of Gray Fullbuster.
Natsu grabbed Lucy's leg and lifted up to his lap, examining her leg. "W – What are you doing?" Lucy asked, blushing a bit.
Natsu ran his fingertips across her leg making her shiver over the warm contact. "Does it hurt?" He asked, looking at Lucy.
"Yeah," She nodded, wincing as he gave pressure to the red spot right below her knee. Natsu frowned, glaring at Gray. "Apologize you piece of shit." Natsu hissed, anger crossing his features.
"Sorry," Gray muttered, looking away from Natsu's heated glare. Sometimes, his angry face could be a bit scary. "You want some ice?"
"Please,"
"Let's go." Natsu said as he grabbed Lucy bridal style and stood up. "Throw our lunches away," Said Natsu before he disappeared from the lunch room with Lucy in his arms.
When they left Erza and the other glared at Gray, making him shrink slightly in his seat.
"S – Sorry. . ." He muttered once more, munching on his chip.
~X~
"So, a book suddenly appeared making Lucy distracted while she was going to lunch then a monster came out of the closet and threw a desk at Lucy and it hit her against the knee making a huge bruise appear?" The nurse said, summarizing Natsu's whole story.
Natsu nodded grinning widely while Lucy face-palmed, sighing. "I was walking and I hit my knee against a table." The nurse nodded, eyeing both of them weirdly.
"Luce, my story was way cooler! You should have stuck with that!" Natsu groaned. Lucy rolled her eyes, patting Natsu's shoulder.
"I think a more legit answer would be correct."
"But . . ."
"Leave those stories for your mother," Natsu pouted and gave Lucy the puppy dog eyes making her weak.
"Here you go Lucy; I think icing it will make the swollen bruise go down a bit." Lucy smiled and took the ice from her hands, putting it against her knee. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, now Mr. Dragneel, you should head back down."
"No! I want to stay by Lucy's side!"
"Lucy, is that fine?"
"Yes, it is." The nurse gave Natsu a nod, closing the curtains around them. "Let me help with that!" Natsu said as he climbed on the bed and grabbing the ice from Lucy's hand, putting it on her bruise.
Lucy smiled a bit looking at her cute boyfriend. He was just so childish sometimes.
"Hey, isn't this the same bed and room we kissed in?" Natsu smirked, looking at Lucy.
Lucy gasped and blushed, looking away from him. That was just a couple hours ago and that idiot still remembers. "What of it?"
"Oh, just jogging your memory." Lucy rolled her eyes, lying down on the nurse bed. She's been in here twice today and it isn't a good thing, maybe she should just go home.
Suddenly Natsu lied down next to her, wrapping his arms around her. "Hey, what're you thinking about?"
"Stuff. Aren't you supposed to ice my knee?"
"I am," Natsu said, pointing towards the ice that was between his leg and hers. Lucy sighed and looked at his face.
He looked back and smiled, "I promise I'll get Gray back for you," He pecked the tip of her nose making her blush a bit.
"What're you going to do?" Natsu shrugged, trying to think of a way to get Gray back for hurting his girlfriend. "I could push him in the river."
"What'll that do?"
"I don't know, maybe shake his soda up or maybe burn his ass?" Lucy giggled a bit as she imagined him doing that. "Or maybe I could lock him out of his own house." Natsu said trying to think of many more ways to get him.
Lucy let him go on and on as she started to play with his scale white scarf, "Can we throw paint balloons at him?" Lucy suggested.
"Yes!" Natsu laughed, thinking of coloring him with all the colors of the rainbow. Lucy rolled her eyes, shushing him. "We're in the nurse office; keep your voice down,"
"We're not that loud, it's alright,"
"Yes you are!"
"Nobody asked you!" Lucy smiled putting a finger to her lips. "Shush," Natsu looked into her brown orbs and grinned, mimicking her movements.
"Shush," He leaned forward and captured her lips with hers. Lucy blushed a bit, kissing his lips back.
Natsu grinned against Lucy's lips when he felt her kissing back; he pulled her closer and pressed his lips tighter against hers.
He was about to push forward when the curtains were pulled back and they pulls away from each other so quickly Natsu fell off the bed hitting his head on the small drawer.
"Lucy!" Erza said as she ignored Natsu, checking to see if she was alright. "Hey, Erza."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm great but I don't think my boyfriend is actually." Erza looked down to see Natsu lying on the floor, not even moving an inch. "Oh, Natsu, I didn't see you there."
"Oh yeah, you didn't see me but you definitely heard me." Natsu muttered, standing up and dusting himself. "No, not really." Erza said as she sat down at the edge of the bed.
Natsu muttered something under his mouth and sat on the other side, trying not to maintain any eye contact with the red haired demon. "Is your knee fine?"
"It hurts but I'm okay,"
"Don't worry; I locked Gray in the closet with Juvia and Lyon." Lucy giggled as she heard what Erza said.
Gray hates being with Lyon and Juvia at the same time since Lyon is crazy about Juvia while Juvia is crazy about Gray and then both of them annoy Gray driving him crazy. "That's what they icy bastard deserves!"
"Natsu, you can leave now, I'll be with Lucy,"
"No! I want to stay!" Erza glared at Natsu making him shiver and gulp. "What?"
"C – Can I please?"
"Go to class, Natsu."
"Yes, Ma'am!" Natsu squealed, running out of the room. Lucy giggled a bit as she watched him run out. "Erza . . . stop being so mean to Natsu."
"Are you sticking up for your boyfriend now?" Erza teased making Lucy blush slightly.
"He just wanted to be with me, you know how that playboy is." Lucy said, making up an excuse.
Erza sighed and nodded, understanding where Lucy was going with this. "I'm going to get more ice for you, be right back."
"Okay."
"Don't be daydreaming about Natsu too much!"
"Erza!"
"This is embarrassing." Lucy whined, covering her face. Natsu chuckled and shook his head, "No it's not, and it's cute."
"Well to you, it's embarrassing to me; do you see how many people looked at us?" Lucy whispered, hissing in his ear.
"Who cares?" Natsu grinned happily, tightening his hold on her. "Put me down!" Lucy whined, nuzzling her face into his neck as she heard people whispering about them."Come on, Luce. Your knee is busted up so why not just let me carry you home?"
"Cause its embarrassing!"
"Oh, sorry." Natsu said nonchalantly, continuing to carry her home. Lucy mentally cried as she heard a couple of children laugh at her. "Natsu!"
"We're home!" Natsu shouted as he kicked open Lucy's house door, dropping her down on the sofa.
Lucy growled at him, her face cooling down as she looked at him. Natsu grinned, walking to her kitchen to get more ice for Lucy.
He was proud of doing that to her, and now, everybody knows the famous playboy Natsu Dragneel and the beautiful Lucy Heartfillia are taken none other than, themselves.
