Lucy p.o.v

"IM UP" i yell, slightly frightened by the sound of my alarm clock. I chukle at myself when i relize its just a clock. Turning it off, i get ready for school.

All i had was a pink dress and a pair of shoes that went with it. I never really dressed up but i had to today because it was the only outfit that didnt smell like manure.

Shoving ceral down my throught i rush out the door. Waiting by the parking lot is natsu, its been two weeks since we became friends and i think its been the happiest time of my life. Friends. A luxury i never had until i met natsu.

"Hia Not-Soup" he childishly grimaced and replyed "Yeah, hi loose-tree" i gigle and say back "Really? Loose-tree? Thats all you could think of?" he just chucked and patted my head ( im sorry if thats improper grammar).

We walked to school in a comfortable silence, both of us lost in thought. When we arrived we both laugh and make jokes as we scurry to class. I slump down into my seat and would have fallen asleep if it werent for natsu poking me from behind with his pencil and Handing me a note. I sighed and uncrumbled the note which read:

Hey loopy try not to fall asleep in the middle of lessons.

Oh p.s me and you are going on a date today. Your answer is yes if you like it or not.

I cant help but flush red as i read the note. But friends dont go on dates. I think as i sneak a glance behind me and im met with a smirking natsu. I would politely decline, but this is Natsu. Hed probally drag me the whole way on a date if i said no. All i can do is franticly scribble down

You wish, ill go as a friend not a date you perv.

I see him read it and his smirk disappears and is replaced with a frown..... Why is Natsu so bummed over going as friends?

Natsu p.o.v

This past week i have started feeling... Whats the word.... Nervous around lucy. All my bad memmories and sad thoughts disappear when i see her happy face. Also i couldn't help but notice she talks more and is alot happier recently. Reading her decline to a date i feel a small   pinch my chest...... I was kinda right about love causing pain... Huh no no no dont think like that natsu,you dont love lucy. Your her friend. I see lucy notice my frown and quickly plaster a smile onto my face, nodding my head.... This was a date if she likes it or not, even if i dont like it.

After school me and lucy decide to sit down underneath the huge sakura tree as our 'not a date, date'. We just relaxed and joked around while having a good time.

"The word is love huh?"

"Yeahp" i replied. "That wont be to hard. I dont really belive in love but i know the meaning." 

It was getting dark and i could tell lucy was tierd. My thought was proved right as her head slumped on her shoulder and she fell asleep. 'She looks like an angel' i thought to myself, staring at her immense beauty as she slept. Her bright blonde hair fell gracefully over her shoulders and her slender fingers gently fell onto the soft grass.

Sighing, i stood up and gently lifted lucy into my arms, and carried her home.

When i arrived at her house i was surprised to not be yelled at by a protective dad or stared at by a curios mother, it was like no one was home.

Searching through the rooms i found one i thought to be lucys and tucked her into bed. "Good thing the door was unlocked" i mumbled to myself.

I turn around before sneaking one last glance at the sleeping angel before me. And at that percise momment i knew,

I guess i do love her after all.
