My thoughts wouldn't settle down, in fact they where only going faster. I straightened my back a little and took a deep breath. I wanted to squirm under the mass amount of attention but I threw that feeling aside, along with my backpack.

"Want to say that again Lis?" I ask kindly with a fake smile plastered on my lips.

"You're too weak to even make me flinch. And now you want to fight me? How pathetic, thinking you even stand a chance!" She laughed. I grinned and stepped closer to her.

"Wanna bet?" I taunt. She says nothing in response and I click my tongue.

"You're not even confident in yourself! And I'm the one who's small and incompetent, right?" I throw my head back in laughter.

"Fine, if this is how you want it Mute-," she glares, "Heartfilia. My name, it's Lucy Heartfilia. Not 'Mute'," I interrupt her. Her looks go sour and she throws aside her jacket.

"Fine then, Heartfilia, I'm about to make you regret ever looking at me," she snarled. I stood still and shrugged, waiting for her to make the first move. Might as well make her think she's got something on me. She swung loosely at me and I caught her fist with a bored expression on my face.

"Weak," I state in monotone and slam my fist into her stomach making her double over. She straightens up and tried to swing at my head but I duck and then lift my leg as I turn and bring it down hard on her side. She falls to the floor and struggles to stand back up.

"You're pretty crappy at this, you must be all bark and no bite. But I'm the worthless one out of the two of us, according to you," I raise an eyebrow at her strained and pissed off face.

"Shut up Heartfilia!" She roars as she leaps for my legs. I jump back and as she gets up and starts punching towards my face I throw my arms up in a block. I then make three quick punches and one last hard one on her face and upper body sending her back.

"You can't even fight! Lisanna, take this warning to heart, ever pick on me or anyone else again and I'll send you straight to the hospital in critical condition no questions asked. You're just a pathetic bully, and I can't wait to see Karma do her work with you. This," I gesture around at the scene, "why this is just the start for you Lisanna." The crowd around us burst into cheers and claps and I saw Natsu in the back leaning on the wall looking amused. I scooped up my bag, slung it on my shoulder and walked over to the where Natsu was waiting.

We walked past Lisanna and her minions and Natsu put his arm around my waist. Their jaws dropped and I giggled softly. Natsu even went as far as to kiss my forehead just to add a cherry on top of the whole thing.

"You did good, I'm proud of you. Though compared to me you still have a long way to go," he teases me and I laugh.

When we get far enough away from the general population I stop him in his tracks and hide my face from him with my hair. I can see the confused look he is giving me and I sigh softly, my slight frustration spilling over. Okay my frustration is more than slight, but I needed to know something for sure.

"Natsu, do you... actually love me?" I ask my question with hesitance. Natsu doesn't respond to me and I feel my heart sink. I had come to the conclusion I somehow had fallen for the arrogant jock and I had half expected him to tell me he did in fact harbor feelings for me. I mean, could you blame me? He had kissed me for Mavis's sake! I guess I was just a toy in his eyes, but what was I expecting from a Bad Boy like him who broke all the rules and didn't care, who only managed to stay on sports teams by threatening the coaches and staff, who did things on his own accord and generally only cared about himself?

"Lucy, I told you already I am not someone you should-" I shove him hard and break off his sentence.

"Why did you lead me on then? Why did you do all these things to me? Why did you make it so hard to not fall in love with you? Was it all some sort of twisted game to you or something? What the hell am I to you, huh? Just some damn girl who you will forget within a year?!" I was screaming and crying, my body trembling as my hair shadowed my eyes. I grit my teeth as I sobbed.

"You aren't just any girl, Luce. I shouldn't have kissed you that night, I never should have even approached you, but I did. I went against all my judgements and instead I followed my instincts. I couldn't keep myself away from you, and damn it Lucy I just had to be near you." I stare at him with my mouth slightly agape and my face burning.

He stepped back over to me and pulled me into him and pressed his lips to mine. I felt breathless in an instant, my head spinning as he held me. My hands snaked their way around his neck and when he pulled away he was breathing just as heavy as I was.

"Lucy I could get you killed-" I kiss him mid-sentence and then pull away.

"I don't care, Natsu. I need you, I need to be with you," I smile and laugh softly. Natsu grins.

"God, I love you Lucy," he breathes and shakes his head, "I Just don't understand how you can be so fearless."

I laugh again, "Well, I do have a great teacher." Suddenly a wicked grin crosses his face and he leans forward close to my ear.

"There is still something I have to teach you Heartfilia," he whispers hotly against my ear. I question him as to what exactly that would be and his response sent shivers of excitement up my spine.

"What it's like to have sex with a bad boy."
