"Okay Goldie"
Natsu's P.O.V
I grin as she calls me pinkie and I call her Goldie back. I said I wouldn't fall for her but I never said I wouldn't be her friend. We walk and I notice she looks happy for once. I think of something and speak my mind.
"Want to race?" I ask. She nods excitedly and stands beside me "okay go!" I shot off knowing that she wouldn't be able to catch up with mw. I was beyond shocked when she ran side by side with me and then pulls ahead. I push myself faster and we are head to head. We don't stop till we are out of breath.
"You're faster than you look" She comments. I huff at her and turn to her.
"What does that mean?" I ask.
"You are a big male I would think that you are as slow as your size" She explains. I nod in understanding and push myself up.
"I haven't felt this way since Lisa-"I cut off and turn away from Lucy.
"Natsu what was it that you were about to say?" She asks.
"No one" I say.
"Oh come on Natsu tell m-"I cut her off with a furious roar.
"I said no one" With that I stalk away from the confused lioness.
Lucy's P.O.V
I watch in confusion as Natsu stalks away towards the cave. My thought was what did I do wrong? I take no time to answer it because I stand up to try and catch up with Natsu. When I do he glares at me before picking up speed and leaving me behind. Tis time I don't try to catch up with him. I find a rock and lay on it. The sun shines down on me and I sigh in bliss. I stay in the sun for a few more minutes before getting up. I see a group of analope. I once again get low and walk to them when I was ready I shot through the air. I land near a female adult and I latch on her throat. She squirms and lifts me off the ground. I hang on until I was back on my feet. I quickly snap her neck and hold on for a few more minutes. When she stop moving altogether I pick her up and walk to the cave. When I reach it I walk in and pad to the eating cave. I place her with the foe. I turn to kill some more when happy came bouncing up to me.
"Lushi~" He sings.
"Happy~" I sing.
"Where are you going?" He asks.
"Hunting" I say.
"Do you mind if I come with you?" He questions.
"Sure" With that we leave the eating cave and Erza calls my name.
"Lucy did you kill another one?" She asks, Curious.
"Yep" I chirp.
"Well do you mind if I tag along to kill one myself?" She asks. I nod and we head out the cave. When we spot a herd of analopes. We all move to each sides and get ready all at once we pounce and grab a analope. Erza and I took down a adult female while Happy kills a foe. We all move walk back to the cave and talk.
"So Erza what do you special in?" I ask.
"I am lead hunter and battle tactic" She answers. I nod and ask a much needed question.
"Can you teach me how to fight?" I ask. She stops in shock before turning to me with a smile and nodding her head.
"You know most females don't want to learn you are the first to want to" She says. I smile and we continue our trip with a conversation going on never ending.
"And then Natsu had a slug in his nose" She finishes. I laugh and shake my head at Natsu's stupidly. We were at the entrance and I was ready to get my load off my back. Happy was practically almost caving under his load. I lean down and sling the foe onto the eating pile and I put mine on too. I was walking out when a yowl was heard in the middle of the cave. I walk out the eating cave and see a white lion crying in the middle of the floor.
"She's dead" The White lion wails. I get a closer look and see that the lion was a good two years older than me if not more. When she looks up her clear blue eyes are filled with tears.
"She was shot by a silver pellet and bled out" She cries. Natsu comes out of his den and the lion stares at him before snarling.
"This is your fault because of your heartbreak Lisanna was exiled and shot" She screeches. Natsu flinches before walking out of the cave. I watch as Erza came in and growls at the white lion.
"Mira you know that your sister did more that break his heart she crushed and you went too far" I myself stand and walk out the cave unnoticed. I follow Natsu's trail mark and see that he was heading for the rock I was at some time during that day. When I arrive Natsu sat on the rock with his head bowed.
"I'm sorry my love" He whispers. My heart clenches at the words he says and I don't understand. I back up and walk away from Natsu he has to mourn by himself. I walk back to the cave and lay down outside again. I curl up and slip into sweet nothingness.
I was woken up to a prod on my side. I open my eyes and blink away the grogginess. When I see Natsu even at night I notice a wetness in his chest fur and redness in his eyes. He was staring at me in wonder.
"Lucy what are you doing out here?" He asks.
"Sleeping" Then I turn around on my side.
"You can sleep in the cave why are you out here?" He asks
"Look Natsu if you want to go to sleep do it Leave me alone" I groan at him. He looks confused before laying down beside me. I look at him in shock before just laying my head on my crossed paws. I feel his tail wrap around me and his head lay on top of my mid stomach. I understand what he's doing and I don't like it.
"Natsu I understand your hurt but taking comfort with me is bad" I say.
"Please Lucy for once I beg of you to please help me" He pleads. I nod in a understanding way and lay my head on his side before going to sleep not before hearing.
"Thank you"
Thank you and bye.
