Three
Lucy watched the clock waiting until the hand landed right on the Three. She tapped her fingers along with the ticks. No one else has come in, which is nothing new, but she always waited for the pink hair fellow to run in. They barely speak any words. They just stare at each other until he runs back out.
She sighed as she turned to put more books on the shelves. She held onto the box with one hand and began to put the books in their places. Lucy hummed a random tune before hearing the bell rung. Telling her someone has entered the store.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail Bookstore. If you need any help I'm in the aisle with Rick Riordan." Lucy called out.
"Where's the blonde?" A male voice called out.
Lucy looked down the way before walking out. She saw the pink hair fellow standing there. A white scarf is around his neck, he wore a sleeveless shirt with his red tattoo poking out. Lucy gave him a small smile before placing the box on the table in front of her.
He brushed back his hair with a smile. Lucy noted that he has two sharp teeth, looking like a baby vampire teeth. His dark brown eyes are almost black. He moved to look around the store, allowing Lucy to see the scar across his neck.
"Who are you running from?" Lucy finally asked.
"This place seems boring. Got any food around here?" The pink haired boy asked, completely ignoring the question.
"Didn't you hear me before?"
"I did."
"So, what's the answer?"
"I don't wanna answer that."
"How come?"
"Just don't feel like it."
Lucy raised her eyebrow. She grabbed the box to finish putting the books up. The pink haired boy looked at her before following her. Lucy could feel him watching her back but she didn't say anything neither did he. Instead, he came to the other side and grabbed the box from her hands.
She looked at him with confusion written across her face. All he did is smile at her. A large bright smile. Lucy couldn't explain but feel safe around that smile. It made her sadness fade away. It made her worry fade away. It made her confusion burn away. Lucy didn't think those were possible.
Lucy just grabbed the books from inside the box and put them on the shelves. She glanced over and saw the pink haired boy watching her. He didn't say anything or show anything but curiosity on his face.
"I've never seen you around here. In town I mean." Lucy said.
"Just moved here," He replied.
"Huh, no one really moves here unless they don't want to be found."
"Is that so? I don't think it would work for me then."
"Why not?"
"People say I'm too loud. I don't see it at all."
Lucy smiled, "Of course you wouldn't."
"How come you work here? No one comes around here." He asked as he scooted back for her.
Lucy shrugged, "I dunno. I really like books. This place is basically my safe place, you know?"
"Yeah. My safe place is anywhere but moving cars, trains, planes just about anything with wheels."
"Why? Do you get motion sickness or something?"
The pink hair nodded, "Puke out everything, man. Besides walking is better you don't get puke all over you."
Lucy laughed slightly. She bends down to put more books up but she looked up at the pink haired fellow. He is now watching the clock. Lucy tucks back her hair before standing back up. He looked at her with a small smile.
He helped her out for the rest of the box. He told jokes, which made Lucy laugh, he screamed every now and then and began to talk about his love for fire. Lucy told him some about herself but not too much. He seems to notice but didn't say anything.
Which Lucy is grateful for.
Then she finally empties the box. They both looked inside the box both upset that it's empty. Lucy looked back at the boy who is still staring at the box. He looked at her than towards the books next to him. In one quick movement, he swiped the books making them falling into the box.
Lucy laughed as she shook her head. The pink haired boy just smiled with a shrug. Lucy reached down to grab the books and put them back in their place. They began to talk again and again. They talked for so long that they didn't realize Lucy was reaching to nothing and putting nothing on the shelf.
The clock struck at six making loud noises. Lucy jumped at the pink haired boy dropped the box in surprise. He looked at the clock with wide eyes. The pink haired boy rushed to the door but was stopped by her hand on his wrist. He looked back in confusion but didn't ask anything.
"What's your name?" Lucy asked.
He raised his eyebrow, "Natsu. You?"
"Lucy."
"Like Lucy and the Sky With Diamonds?"
"My dad named me after the song."
Natsu smiled, "I think it's pretty."
"What about you?"
"My mom named me Natsu cause I was born in the summer."
Lucy just nodded. She let go of his wrist. Natsu waited for a minute before running out the doors. She pressed her lips together but slowly smiled. She turns back for the box. Not knowing that Natsu is watching her from the window with a smile.
For a moment, Natsu forgets he was a criminal and felt like a real person. Just by talking to Lucy.
