{Natsu POV}
As time passed, I started to grow a closer relationship with Lucy. We were friends.
From the beginning, she was hesitant to eat and hang out with us.
But I didn't take no for an answer.
And that's how she ended up sitting with us. She was fun to talk to, and smiled easily.
She was really pretty. She had taken her sunglasses off once, to show us her eyes, and I had seen her brown orbs.
"The doctors said it was a weird case." Sting had said. "She lost her vision as a young kid, but there's no sign of scarring in her eyes. Well, there are a few white streaks, but nothing else that's visible."
Today, I walked to the her classroom as soon as the bell rang. Lucy came slowly walking out, her dog in the lead.
Her dog was big and furry. He was a huge golden retriever, and was absolutely adorable.
"Hey, Eagle!" I said, scratching the back of his ears.
Sting and I had made a routine with Lucy. Everyday, one of us would pick her up for lunch, and she would have to guess who it is by touching our faces and stuff. Sting allowed it; it would be for the better.
Lucy felt around for me, and I gently grabbed her wrists, leading them to my face. She felt around, gently stroking my jawline. Her hands were warm.
"Are you...Natsu?" I smiled.
"Correct!"
She smiled. "I can recognize that jawline anywhere. And your hands don't feel like Sting's at all."
"Oh? How so?" We started to walk.
"Well, Sting's hands are very small, and a bit more rough than yours. Your hands are big, and a bit rough."
"Ah."
"Mhm. And the way you grabbed my wrists. Sting always tends to grab a bit higher than you do. He touches my hands a lot."
"Wow. You're quite the observer."
She smiled. "Practice, I guess."
We started to talk, and soon, we rounded a corner. The cafeteria door was just up ahead.
"We were thinking of eating outside the cafeteria today." I said. "If we go out through the other door, there's a small area of grass. The sun is warm too."
"That sounds fun." She said.
"Yeah? Alright, then!" I held the door out for her.
"Thank you." She walked in, and flinched at the loud noises. Just like she always does.
I saw my friends and walked over.
"She agreed!" I said, putting my thumbs up. Sting smiled and walked over to his sister.
"How's your day so far?" Sting asked, patting her head. She felt his face and smiled.
"Delightful." She said. "How's yours?"
"Good." Sting slung an arm over her shoulder. "Alright then, should we go?"
We walked outside and sat down. The area was ginormous, and there were plant-covered fences surrounding the perimeter. The warm sun shined over the grass.
"Alright! Let's eat!"
Just like always, we sat in a circle. Lucy sat next to me and Sting. Rogue sat next to Sting, Gray sat next to me, and Jellal sat in between Gajeel and Wendy. Eagle sat behind Lucy, who fed him his own food.
