(Some kind of prologue.) How they somehow became connected.
No, no, no. This couldn't be right. It must've been a trick, some kind of glitch. The table must've been messed up or something. It was only the second day at Fairy Tale Academy yet already things came tumbling down. Lucy stood centre of the class, blocking the way for those who found their seats.
"Hey, Blondie, move already and sit down!" A towering body barged past her paralysed body, only awaken her from a deep sleep.
"Oh, sorry I-" her eyes wide with recognition. Mouth gaping open. Natsu looked down at her, as she were catching flies. Why did her seat need to be directly next to Natsu Dragneel- second most popular boy who attended Fairy Tail Academy.
"Are you gonna go or...?" He raised a pink eyebrow. That was another thing to be afraid of: his pink hair. Spiky and ready for battle. This was no joke...Lucy had heard rumours about that hair.
As he turned to sit down, his scaly scarf whacked her across the face. Lucy brought a hand up to her red cheek, her face decorated with a pained expression. Though it was just a scarf, it was a fierce scarf. One of the many rumours told of how that very scarf was a gift from a dragon, Igneel.
Soon the whole class witnessed the event.
Lucy stood in embarrassment; first impressions always mattered and this was not helping. She felt faint. Sit down quickly. Forcing herself forward, Flare, a psycho red head, shuffled her bag across the floor.
"Hey, Natsu," Gray Fullbuster; the most popular boy in school though it was only the second say. Adored by many, many girls- only to count out Lucy. Though his arm, right now, was wrapped round Lucy's sharp shoulders. If she could then she would've shoved the ice-cold teen away and leave him alone to eat some ice cream- as long as it was cold foods then he was fine.
"You can't go on pushing pretty girls around. You'll never get married; unlike you I'm marrying ice cream." Every girl in the room, including Miss Mira, swivelled round in pure shock. Their jaws dropped, which made Gray snicker at his own bad joke.
"Though if I ever had the choice I'd marry this blonde right here." Lucy's face turned beetroot once he started to scruff her hair. Not just because of that but every girl in the room had looks that could kill.
Free from her hold she shuffled silently into her seat beside Natsu. Holding place her shaking hands to her cheeks trying to calm the ferocious blush; Lucy was now an innocent gazelle waiting to be devoured.
Miss Mira introduced the subject's format for this year- nothing too interesting. Lucy could only concentrate on the the fact that she was sitting next to a fire-eating monster. She wondered how he'd become so popular!
Every now and and then he fiddled around with the position of his scaf. Lucy swore she could hear scales scraping against one another. Maybe she was becoming paranoid. Onyx eyes catching glimpses of Lucy when she least expected it, scaring the crap out of her.
Soon every little clearing of the throat and the smallest of sniffles made her jump.
It got worse when it came to passing round workbooks and Natsu's hand brushed hers, which Lucy thought it to be (from the rumours) a declaration of war! She became brave enough to stare into his eyes for longer than three seconds, as if to say challenge accepted.
Natsu just thought she was a freaky blonde.
To break the ice, as to quote Gray, he picked his sharpener, already filled with lead, and emptied it on the inside of Gray's blazer. Which was easy as Gray sat directly in front and his skin was numb like he was always cold. This was all perfectly normal as the two were such great mates.
There was no reaction from him. Had he seriously not felt something being dumped down his blazer?! The ice cracked and shattered, as Lucy giggled uncontrollably. Natsu grinned devilishly, watching Lucy struggle to breath. The red growing back across her cheeks; down the back of her neck. Natsu wouldn't admit she found her little cute.
Anyway he had Lisanna to think about; her big sister was the science teacher after all.
What happened after that wasn't as heart warming: Natsu and Lucy began to argue every now and then, especially once Lisanna showed up acting all lovey dovey and, dare I say, seducutive. Though the only good part, was that occasionally Lucy would find a trail of pencil lead around the school. Mainly in a small pile beneath Gray' s seat in science.
What happened to Gray was their little secret; how they somehow became connected.
A/N: sorry if you found it too short for your liking, or if you didn't find it very interesting. Maybe you ship NaLi instead of NaLu...NALU forever!
Anyway in the last chapter I hadn't really explained how they knew each other, so I though I'd write a little "prologue" chapter. This still isn't that and I feel like there are gaps in the story that I haven't quite filled. The class they're supposed to be in Science (like I said...gaps).
Next chapter, it won't be a prologue again, I promise, Lucy will end up drinking one of Aphrodite' love potions and from there I'm not even quite sure what will happen. Except that Lucy will be staring at Natsu' s face then back when she should be asleep. I've been reading the korean manga Goong. It's given me some inspiration.
