Chapter 14
"What the hell is going on here" Lisanna said in a disgusting manner looking between Lucy and Natsu.
Great, just great, Natsu and Lucy both thought.
"It's called detention, ever heard of it?' Lucy said in an arrogant way.
"What are you doing here Lisanna" Natsu said with a sigh.
Lisanna came in and closed the door behind her and said in a bubbly way, "I came to get you so we can walk home silly"
"Lisanna I already told you I had other plans" Natsu said emotionless.
"Sorry Natsu, but I'm coming with you whether you like it or not" Lisanna said walking towards the boy. When she passed Lucy the girls both gave each other a look that can kill just about anyone.
It was then an alarm went off signaling the two that there time in detention was over and they can go home. Lucy quickly got her things making a way out the room while Natsu was trying to call her back.
The rosy head boy got up and started to follow Lucy until Lisanna grabbed his hand and said, "Natsu, don't. She's just a sad pathetic nobody"
The boy went furious at what his childhood friend just called Lucy, he pulled his arm out of Lisanna's grasp and turned to her hissing, "You think I changed? Look at yourself, you judge others thinking your better than them when in reality, you're the sad pathetic nobody."
Lisanna went mute and stared at Natsu's intense look. Natsu just "tsk" and continued walking out the room leaving the girl alone.

Well that was awkward, Lucy thought while walking to her house. But, what would have happened if Lisanna hadn't walked in…., Memories started flooding in through Lucy's mind of Natsu's hot breath so close she could feel it in her own lips. The blonde started blushing at just the thought of it.
Lucy got irritated and screamed at the sky, "WHY THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME"
"What's happening to you?" a familiar voice said.
Lucy turned and saw Natsu right behind her with his hands in his pocket and puzzled look on his face.
"Nothing" Lucy said turning back around hiding the blush she has. "So, what happened with Lisanna? I thought you were walking home with her"
Natsu shrugged and said, "She can get a little annoying. Besides, I already told you I was walking you home."
"I don't need you too. You should go back, she's probably waiting for you anyways." Lucy said with her back facing the boy.
Natsu was silent but then walked on ahead till he was right next to Lucy and said, "I rather walk home with you. Let's go"
Lucy looked at Natsu's back, confused at why he would say such a thing. We both get at each other's throat but he still wants to walk home with me? Lucy thought.
"I'm going to leave you behind if you don't start walking you know" Natsu yelled.
Lucy looked at him a little longer and started walking to catch up to him till she was right next to Natsu.
Natsu glanced at Lucy and chuckled, "Thought you might have left me and gone a different way, I wouldn't be surprised if you did"
Lucy looked up at the boy and said, "Which way would I go? We live in the same area anyway."
"You have a point" Natsu said.
There was an awkward silence between the two making them feel uneasy. Natsu and Lucy were both thinking of ways how to keep the conversation going.
"So, nice weather we're having huh?" Natsu said
"Yea, I guess." Lucy said
Nice weather? Seriously? What kind of dumbass would say that? Why the hell can't I keep a conversation going? I never had this problem before, Natsu thought.
Yea, I guess? Who the hell says that? It's so basic, not to mention he's probably bored out of his mind and will most likely be the last time we walk home, Lucy thought.
"So, tell me. Do you like yogurt?" Natsu said
Lucy examined the boy with a bewildered look and said, "Yogurt?"
"Yea, yogurt" Natsu said
"Umm, yea I guess. It's been a while since I had some though." Lucy said
"How about frozen yogurt?" Natsu said looking down at the girl
Lucy glanced up trying to comprehend at where he's getting at, "I don't know. Never tried frozen yogurt before"
Natsu stopped at his tracks making Lucy turn towards him and asked, "What?"
"You've never tried frozen yogurt before?" Natsu said with a shocked expression.
"No, I haven't. Why?" Lucy said looking perplexed.
Natsu didn't answer right away, he looked like he was thinking about something till he spoke, "No reason" Natsu said and continued walking.
Lucy side glanced at the boy, what kind of question was that? Lucy thought.
"What's your favorite genre of movie?" Natsu said
"That's tough, but if I had to choose one, comedy would definitely be it." Lucy said.
"Comedy? Wouldn't have guessed you were into comedies" Natsu said with a small laugh.
"Oh yeah? Then what would you think I was into?" Lucy said challenging the boy.
Natsu thought about it for a while and said, "Horror's"
"Horror's? Really? How am I not surprised." Lucy said while rolling her eyes. "What about you?"
"My favorite genre?" Natsu said turning to the girl
"Yea" Lucy responded
"Romance" Natsu said
"Romance? No way you have got to be lying" she said with a giggle.
Natsu glanced towards the blonde, did she just giggle? He thought with a shock look on his face.
Lucy caught his eyes and asked, "What?"
The boy just gave a sweet smile and said, "You should laugh more often. It's kind of…. soothing"
Lucy blushed and broke eye contact facing the front and stayed silent.
"How about dancing?" Natsu asked keeping the conversation going.
"Okay, why do you keep asking me questions?" Lucy said
"Just trying to get to know you better that's all" Natsu said putting his hands behind his head.
There was a slight silence till the blonde decided you answer him.
"I don't really like dancing." Lucy said calmly
Natsu wanted to ask why but when he saw the look in her eyes he decided not to and let it go.
They were both chatting up asking each other questions the whole way until they got to Lucy's place.

"I'll get your jacket, you stay here." Lucy said while unlocking her door and stepping inside.
"What? C'mon, it's polite to invite guests in your home you know" Natsu said trying to convince the blonde.
"Too bad you're not a guest Natsu" Lucy said coldly towards the boy.
"Wow Luce, talk about bipolar. First you're all nice to me and not to mention we were having a meaningful conversation and the next, you go heartless" Natsu said
"What? Can't hear you through this door" Lucy said shutting the door in his face.
"Funny" Natsu said in a sarcastic tone leaning on the door.
Lucy just chuckled and went to her room. 5 minutes has passed that Lucy has been searching all over her bedroom for Natsu's jacket and had no luck in finding it.
Where the hell did I put it? Lucy thought in a panic searching through her closet. Wait, the laundry room, Lucy quickly got up on her feet and made her way towards the area.
She started searching through her basket and saw that it wasn't there. Where else could it- wait a minute, Lucy then searched through the dryer and let out a relieved sigh. Thank god, I thought I lost it.
Lucy collected the item and made her way towards the front door until she stopped in her tracks to hear that someone was rummaging through her kitchen.
Shit, okay okay keep calm. Maybe its umm…. okay I have no idea what it would be since we don't live anywhere near some damn woods for it to be a raccoon, Lucy thought with a panic.
She quietly made her way towards a closet where she kept a bat hidden in the corner and steadily walked in the direction of where the noise came from. When she got there she saw that the fridge was open covering who the culprit was. Lucy gripped her bat slowly moving near the fridge getting anxious by every passing second.
When she made it to the point where she could see the person she quickly raised her bat up and was about to smack on the person till she saw the familiar pink hair and let her bat go down.
"Natsu! What the hell are you doing in my house?!" Lucy yelled in an agitated voice.
Natsu didn't turn back but just responded, "I was just getting a drink, I'm thirsty" The boy turned around with a coke in his hand and took a glance down to see what Lucy was holding when his expression changed from cool to jumpy.
"Hey Luce, so um here's your soda haha" Natsu said placing the beverage down on her counter.
Lucy was dumbfounded at first until he followed Natsu's gaze only to notice that it was the bat he was nervously staring at. Lucy made the connections and gave a devious smile. She brought the bat up pointing at him and said, "Out"
Natsu raised both his hands up in surrender and said, "Alright alright, you don't have to go through extreme measures Lucy, geez."
Lucy smirked following Natsu out the door. "C'mon Luce, I just wanted a drink. No harm done" Natsu said.
"At least you should've asked me first" Lucy said in an irritated manner.
"I was going to tell you but you went inside, and then you took forever" Natsu said
Lucy sighed and lightly pushed Natsu out the door. When Natsu turned to look at Lucy she gave him his jacket washed and dried.
Natsu brought it up to his nose and sniffed the clothing, Smells like Lucy, Natsu thought.
"You washed it?" Natsu asked bringing his eyes to the blonde.
Lucy avoided his eyes and nodded her head. Natsu smiled at the girl even though she wasn't facing him.
"Alright I better get going now before my mom kicks my ass" Natsu said turning around and started walking away until Lucy called his name.
"Natsu" Lucy said
The boy turned with a puzzled look on his face, "Yeah?"
Lucy tossed something to Natsu making him catch it with one hand. He looked down on what the item was and realized that it was the drink he was getting from Lucy's fridge.
The drink? But why would she…, he looked up to see that the girl was no longer outside. You're so weird Luce. Natsu thought with a grin plastered on his face. He opened the can and started walking back to his place taking sips of the drink.
