L U C Y

" I wanna know your complete story." His eyes stayed locked onto mine as he said those words.

I felt my heart start to hammer in my chest, this seemed so intimate. Unfortunately I'm not ready for that step just yet.

"I will tell you in time...I'm just not ready. Everything is happening too fast for me to ever grasp the fact I ran away from my ex- lover/ current nightmare." I told him and he understood.

"I'm ready whenever you are lucy..." we stared at each other for a moment before a banging outside the bathroom door interrupted, my cheeks set ablaze without my permission by the way.

"Hurry up love birds, I need to shit." I choked on my own spit and Natsu scowled at the door, burning gray with a glare- one he can't even see since the door is separating us from him.

"I can feel your glare through the damn door, knock it off Natsu!" Natsu smirked and stood up, leaving his hand for me to grab onto and I do. This time when I lifted my self up my chest felt lighter...

Almost as if I was truly safe.

For now...

After eating and socializing with gray, I went back to my room, with Natsu's assistance of course.

"So I take it your gonna stick around for a while?" He asked with a hopeful smile. I couldn't possibly say no...not like I wanted to leave anyway.."yes Natsu. I am staying." I gave him a small smile and he just flushed and laughed slightly.

"W-we'll...I'm gonna go to bed...goodnight Luce." He winked and ran down the hallway. I stood by my door for a moment, my heart is hammering and I suddenly felt hot.

That man...

The next morning I woke up and got dressed, I plan to try to get out and find myself a job.

Anything to keep my mind busy, ha am I right?

Pitiful...

I gulp and made a mental note to go to the pharmacy today and look for some anti depressants.

Today for my outfit I chose a grey tank top with a black leather jacket to go over top of the tank top, I added a black scarf to go around my neck too, don't wanna reveal too much. For pants I dragged out my high waisted skinny jeans and my favorite pair of brown knee high boots.

I also grabbed my sunglasses so I can wear them until I get makeup. I'm gonna use the money I got from stings safe.

Okay. Just gotta find my way out of this house.

I walked out of the room I stayed in and about got knocked down to the floor by a little boy.

With blue hair? Almost like jellal a but...lighter...

"Oh crap! Sorry about that." He laughed, he didn't look so sorry.

"It's not a problem..." I replied in awe, this kid looks wonderful.

Damn is everyone here a god or something they all look great!

Yet you look like a fat bruised cow.

I frowned and the little boy raised one of his perfect shaped eyebrows at me.

"Your okay? Aren't cha?" I just sent him a smile. "Could you show me the way out of here? I would like to go into town." He just stared at me for a moment then nodded.

He led me down a hall then turned right and then we stopped at a door. I gave him a great full smile.

He just snickered and opened the door.
"Hey Natsu!"I looked to him in confusion.

Since when is Natsu the door out of here?

"Yo happy! What's up? " happy just giggled to himself and sent me a mischievous grin. I gulped and adverted my gaze to the floor.

Did I really just submit to a damn kid?

Pathetic...

"Someone wants to ask you a question." He walked behind me and literally pushed me inside with too much strength for my liking.

Natsu was sitting on a black bean bag chair with a controller in his hand. A blush immediately rose to my cheeks as my eyes connected to his. He also happened to have a tint of pink dusting his cheeks.

Our eyes seemed to have been locked into a starring contest but it ended when I landed face first on the wooden floor.

I heard a tiny chuckle behind me as the door shut, I groaned and sat on my knees with my hand held on my nose. "Oh jeez! Happy!" He growled and immediately jumped off the bean bag to come to my aid. I just waved him off with a tiny laugh.

"It's fine, I was in la la land anyway aha..." he shook his head and had me tilt my head back as my nose started to bleed, my sun glasses I had on fell off and broke. Which sucks by the way.

" sorry about that...happys a little...uh trouble maker I guess?" I nodded my head, we sat in a tense silence for a few minutes while my nose stopped bleeding.

"So you wanted to ask me something?" He raised an eyebrow at me and I tried not to choke on my words as I looked at his beautiful expression.

I have never been attracted to someone this much...

"O-oh yeah that, I was uh- kinda hoping to go into town and get a job. I also happen to need a few things from there..I had asked happy for the way out." He tilted his head those dark onyx eyes locking onto my gaze.

"Why would you need to get a job? You just got here a few days ago. What you need to do is relax. You have had a tough time these past few years. Luce." I sighed and looked away.

"I appreciate everything you guys have done for me honestly. From giving me food, a safe place to sleep, but you can't honestly expect me to live off you guys forever right? I can't do it. Even if you allow me too." He sighed and nodded.

" I already know I can't change your mind. However. Allow me to come with you into town." The way he sounded desperate for me to accept made me blush but who was I to say no?

"Yeah sure. You could also show me around while your with me, you don't mind right?" I asked shyly and he sent me a smirk.

" your adorable when you blush. I hope to see it on you more often."
