The Demon Criminal

No one's P.O.V

Natsu closed his eyes, like he did every night. He turned, like every night. He turned into a demon.

No.

Not a demon.

The Last Demon Alive!

Lucy gasped, but not out of fear, out of pure amazement.

"This is why people are scared of you?" She asked in disbelief.

"Doesn't it scare you?" Natsu asked, not believing her astonishment.

"No! In fact, it's beautiful! Your wings are raised and held above your head, making you look majestic! And your scales make you look invincible!" She said happily.

"Well this is why I got locked here in the first place!" Natsu yelled, running and banging against the bars, hoping to scare Lucy, but she sat there peacefully. Not phased by anything he just said and did.

"You won't scare me. I know that's what you're trying to do." She laughed.

"Besides, you should be quieter. The guards might get suspicious."

"They won't come back here. Especially not now." He said, sinking to his knees, holding the bars with his hands and looking down at the ground. 

Lucy looked at him with pity. She tried to think of something, but she could only think of one. She hesitated for a minute, but she got up the courage to reach out and touch his hand. It burned her, but she didn't let that pain show. Natsu looked up in surprise. He tried moving his hand away, but instead of moving away, his hand moved on its own and intertwined with Lucy's.

"See? You can get used to people." Lucy smiled, completely forgetting about the pain of the burn. Natsu was still shocked, but he kept with hand with Lucy's; He couldn't stop staring at her as she leaned against the bars that separated them.

Time went by, and they never parted hands. Lucy had fallen asleep, but Natsu sat there wide awake and bewildered at what Lucy had done.

Why is she different from everyone else? He thought to himself. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight.

"Hey... Hey, Lucy. Wake up." He whispered, gently shaking their intertwined hands so he didn't touch her and burn her more. The sleeping angel, in his eyes, finally woke up from the sensation of his hand being removed from hers.

"You need to go.it's nearly midnight." Natsu urged again.

"Crap. I'll be here again tomorrow. Expect a surprise from me!" She said, standing up and dusting herself off.

"Ok, then. See you tomorrow." Natsu said, staring at Lucy's burnt hand that he created. 

Lucy quietly walked away, leaving the still shocked demon.
