Lucy POV
I wave goodbye to all my friends and walk away from my apartment. Its 7:47 and I have to meet Natsu at 8:00. Uggggggg I'm getting early jitters. My Heart starts beating faster and my minds getting clouded. I shouldn't be this nervous.
But for the most part i'm nervousness because if this doesn't go well I won't only be met with disappointment but lose my greatest friend. That'll be the worst outcome. I try to clear my head of these gloomy thoughts that'll probably just make me even more nervous.
"It's ok, I shouldn't worry about anything right now," I whisper to myself," the date hasn't even started yet, it'll be fine."
I've never really had a chance to walk around magnolia at night, it's very peaceful and serene. The total opposite of my life. I'm always caught up in trouble from jobs to enemies, it was never like this before Fairytail. But I would never change anything.
It seems wherever Natsu is, trouble seems to chase him, and wherever he is I'll surely follow. There's that magnetic pull to Natsu, where no matter what happens I'll always want to be there with him.
I guess you could call this love. Not that I've ever experienced it for another person besides my family. but this 'love' is different from my family's love. It's unexplainable and indifferent. I could never get used to this warm, fuzzy, nervous, feeling. Wow, I'm becoming like those cliché people in the movies.
"Maybe this won't go bad at all." I mumbled to myself. I do tend to talk to myself a lot. It gives me something to do when I'm alone, I've picked it up since my sad days in the mansion.
I look around and notice the children running down the streets with their angry parents trailing behind. At least they won't have to live a childhood like mine. Kid, you don't know how lucky you are to have those parents. But, it's reassuring to know they won't know what it's like living with basically no parent around.
I notice that I'm almost to the guild, about another couple of blocks until I get there. I do some last minuet checks and touch ups like makeup, hair, straitening my outfits, and making sure i'm good to go.
I stop at the entrance of the gate to the guild and whisper," Well, here goes nothing."
I walk through the gates with the words FAIRY TAIL above. Once I step through a see a shadowy figure leaning against a tree. that must be Natsu. my heart started to quickly pound and my palms got sweaty. Stop it! Not now why is...... is........this happening.
I forced my legs to move and walk towards the shadow. A couple feet away from the shadow I could make out a face and, it was Natsu. He was dressed in his regular clothes(original clothes from the beginning of the series).
"Hey, I thought you said to dress nice." I teased.
He just smiled that cheeky grin and said," I did, see." and he pulled back his vest to reveal a black tie hanging loosely around his neck. While also showing off his amazingly sculpted abs.
I just smiled and looked down slightly embarrassed that I may have overdressed. Or maybe by the fact that I'm going on a date with Natsu. I've heard that he never asked a girl to go out with him, anywhere.
"Wow, Luce you look fantastic." Natsu said while slightly blushing. His eyes travel up and down my body then notices I'm looking at him. He started to scratch the back of his neck and look to the side. we just stood here in silence not looking at each other for a couple minuets. C'mon Natsu, DO SOMETHING, don't make this awkward.
"Well let's go!" Natsu exclaimed. he's back to his normal self again, that's good. He grabs my hand and starts running to our destination, partly dragging me along due to the shoes I'm wearing. Earlier Wendy said I should where heals because Natsu's so tall compared to me, but I can't really run in these. I try to run on the toe of the shoe but it's difficult.
