The flame of the stars (Nalu)

Him Me and She (Nalu)

Chapter one-

Lucy POV

Today was an average Friday, I woke up, got ready and had breakfast, my name's Lucy Heartfilia, I'm a celestial Spirit Mage and I'm attaining Fairy Tail High for mages, I live alone because my 'father' suddenly disappeared after... He did some things... I used to live with both my parents and my younger sister in a beautiful mansion and we were a very close family until my mum and little sister were brutally murdered by a gang called '.E.N.D.', ever since then I was physically abused by My father and bullied at school to the point that I self harmed and became suicidal, in grade 4 I was about to jump on train tracks but a young boy with spiky pink hair pulled me back, his name was Natsu Dragneel and I've been in love with him since preschool, I also met his step brother, Gray Fullbuster and Levy Mc'garden, we all became best friends but Natsu met a girl named Lisanna in grade 7 and never talked to me again... But anyway I arrived at school and sat down in my assigned sit while I waited for Miss Karen to mark the roll...

20 minutes later~

The teacher Miss Karen scowled at the troublemaking teen " Natsu Dragneel ? why are you 20 minutes late again young man ?" she questioned from across the room, the sound of his name danced so delicately across her tongue as she addressed him. " cause i can be? why the sudden interrogation?" he questioned back with a rebellious smirk spread across his face.

I giggled slightly to myself under-neither my closed hand, I could feel the smirks of Gray and Levy but it was to funny to glare at them when the teacher had a look of disbelief across her face, as if asking why he was being such a delinquent..

He must've heard me because he shifted his body to face me and smiled. my heart leaped out of my chest, almost literally and I beamed a smile so wide I swear I could have freaked him out. After only a fleeting moment he turned back around and started speaking to his friend Lisanna a takeover mage whom just sat there listening to his every word.

I've always wished that he'd talk to me the way he speaks to Lisanna, they always seem like their in a deep meaningful conversation whenever their together, I wonder if their more then friends...

My smile saddened into one of a frown as the thought of them being a 'thing' crossed my mind. Yes, I have a crush on Natsu ever since preschool in fact, if that wasn't obvious, but from my scientific investigations and research, I've come to the conclusion that we are almost completely incompatible, it's a 4% chance that we would ever even be friends and only 0.32% that we would be anything close to lovers-

"LUCY STELLA HEARTFILIA ! focus up here! not on Natsu " the teacher practically boomed from the other end of the classroom. The class erupted into a fit of laughter as my face grew boiling red, this is absolutely mortifying.

"Hey you witch, why are you telling her what to focus on when we all know its not math you're thinking about it's really Loke, a student, y'know the playboy you have a retarded crush on, who the hell likes a guy 10 years younger then themselves ? gross" I turned my head from the arm cocoon I currently buried my face in to see Natsu speaking back to the teacher, 'h-he defended me! I think I should bump up the friend to 4.6%! oh, i'm just simply happy as Mavis ! Nothing could ruin this moment right now...

But of course it is ruined by the one and only Lisanna as she whispered coldly to me "Hey you nerd, I wouldn't try anything with Natsu ! one he'll never notice you and two he belongs to me so try anything and I'll tell the whole school about what your daddy did to you" , I felt my heart drop 'How did she know ?' tears welled up but I wouldn't show weakness, instead I excused myself and once I existed the classroom my legs ran into an unknown direction, my lungs began to burn but I didn't care, mind races 'How did she find out ? only levy and gray new about what he use to do to me before he just suddenly left, why is she so crawl ? and what would happen if the school finds out ?! what would Natsu think of me.... no I'm just a nobody to him...' they were stopped by the sound of a honk "LUCYYYYY MOVE !!!".

I couldn't move my eye's wide with fear I was frozen as if time stood and it was just me, I felt two warm arms wrap around my small waist slowly I turned to the skye as we fell hard to the ground of dirt below us, my eyes were shut tight, I carefully opened them to a pair of worried black orbs I saw a drop of blood drip silently to the floor from his head quickly I pushed him off to look closer "Why ?" it came as a whisper, tilting his head confused he asked "Why what ?" my jaw clenched irritably "Why ? after never even talking to me since we were in middle school ? WHY DID YOU EVEN BOTHER TO SAVE ME HUHH I'M JUST A NERD GO BACK TO LISANNA !!!!!" the anger I felt made me yell at him, he looked at me with wide-eyes shocked by my words but I couldn't care less "Why the Mavis would you do that ? are you just playing with me ? am I that pathetic to you and your gang to do so ? ANSWER ME DAMIT !!!".

I could feel a darkened aura around him a bit of fire circling his exterior, his bangs covered his eyes slightly creating a shadow across his face, he looked up, the aura not leaving "Luce, I didn't know she was like that and everything she said isn't true at all, I would never think that of you and never say that because your not pathetic and I don't despise you I'm sorry I said I did when we were younger" He looked down in shame then his eyes reached mine again but instead of the scary look he was now staring with a emotion I was unsure of " I got to tell you something important so please listen, it's kinda embarrassing" He chuckled nervously but all I could do was nod still in a little shock as a blush appeared on his tanned cheeks "I..I.. ever since I met you I've been in love with you ever since preschool when you first helped me up from falling over a branch when no one else did I knew even as a child I new and now 11 years later I still know, I know that when you smile so do I, when you shyly look over to me and blush my heart beats faster, when you get irritated and scrunch up your nose cutely I can't help but laugh a little, when I hear your giggles from me doing something stupid my stomach feels lighter, I love it, I love your smile, your laugh, your shyness, your smarts, your golden hair, your deep brown eyes that I could get lost in all eternity but out of all of that I mostly love you all Lucy Heartfilia all of you including you when your angry, having bad hair days, when your in daggy clothes all of it I would never change and deep down I know that you feel the same way about me, cause when you look at me I can see it in your eyes the same of which are in my own" His eyes were soft and loving as he slowly caressed the side of my face.

I couldn't help it my tears ran down like waterfalls, that was so beautiful and honest, to come from someone like Natsu..... something unexpected happened, I felt soft warm lips connect slowly to mine.......he kiss me........Natsu Dragneel kissed me Lucy.... OMG !!!! I deepened it by wrapping my arms around his nick to pull him closer, after a couple of minutes of making out we pulled apart for air our foreheads rested of one another's "Lu..ce....." he panted "I love you too, Natsu Dragneel" my voice softly spoke he looked at me and smiled warmly no words needed we walked to his home and watched movies for the rest of the day, little did I know what the future held... If only I listened to her warning.... He would be alive.
