Kidnapped

Chapter 7 - He lied.

Hey everyone ! Hope you enjoy this chapter :) characters belong to Hiro Mashima XD

~Lucy POV~

"Because I love you." He said. I almost choked on my last slice of pizza. I started blushing a deep shade of red.

"You do ?" I asked in disbelief.

"No of course not ! I was just kidding. You didn't actually believe I loved you right ?" He said laughing. I didn't believe it but I'm not going to deny that I hoped he was being serious.

"No. Of course not." I said getting up from the table. I felt really humiliated.

"You should've seen your face ahahahh you clearly did believe it !" He said smiling deviously. Why does he have to make fun of me and my feelings like that.

"Why are you so mean ?" I asked. He wasn't mean, he was a complete monster.

"Life hasn't been fair to me, I won't be fair to life." He said emotionless.

"Where's your family ?" I asked causing him to wince at the mention them. I'm guessing by life not being fair to him it must be somehow connected to the car accident his family were in. I immediately regretted asking the question and feared the reaction.

"Dead." He said coldly. "Now drop the topic."

"How ?" I asked. I should probably stop asking questions before he snaps at me again.

"I said drop the topic !" He boomed and silence once again engulfed the room.

"Do you want to come on the mission with me tomorrow ?" He suddenly spoke. I don't get him at all, his mood goes up then it goes down. I can't keep up with it, but at the same time I'm attracted to him but he made it pretty clear he doesn't return the feelings.

"No." I said. I don't know what his missions are like and I don't want to know either. They sound pretty dangerous and illegal.

"Ok, be up at 6:00am that's when we're leaving. We're going to be going to a party and beat up this guy that owes me money." My mouth dropped open. Is he insane ?! Did he not hear that I just said No.

"Why do I have to be there anyway ? I'll probably just be a burden. And also I clearly said no."

"To be a bait. Well if you're a burden you'll die and yeah I heard you say no but frankly I don't care. I say you've to come and that's final. I'm not leaving you all alone in this house so you can be nosy and look at all my personal stuff." He said.

"What if-"

"Nothing will happen to you because as long as I am there I will not let anyone lay a single finger on you. I kept my promise today and I'll keep it again tomorrow." He said cracking a faint smile.

"Thanks." I said. I loved it when Natsu was nice. It made me love him even more although his bad side was attractive too at times, well, when he doesn't use his bad side against me.

"Do you still want to leave ?" He asked with a hint of sadness in his voice. Why is he sad ?

"Well I don't know Natsu. I'm alone at home and have no friends but at least here I have you and believe it or not you've been nicer to me than everyone else in my life apart from my parents." I said and he looked taken aback and smiled. "But sometimes you're really horrible and make me want to leave." I said and he looked slightly sorry but I knew he really wasn't. He's never sorry.

"Why were people mean to you ?" He asked. "I mean I know it's because you're nerdy and have no life and stuff but you're also...hot." He said and I swore I could see him blush. It's as if I'm seeing many different Natsu's tonight.

"I'm not but thanks and I don't know why people picked on me. There's more to people than looks also, and I guess they misjudged me by thinking I had no life. What's wrong with being nerdy anyway ? You shouldn't be afraid to be yourself." I said.

"Tch" he scoffed.

"You're not being yourself either. I'm sure you really aren't that cruel." I said sitting next to him on the couch.

"What are you doing ?" He said scooting further away from me.

"Since it's just me and you, how about we talk a bit about ourselves ? Ask me questions and I'll ask you questions...just for a bit of fun." I said smiling.

"Okay..." He said relaxing. "Me first. Have you ever had a boyfriend ?" He asked.

"No" I said sadly. I thought I saw him smile for a second but it was probably my imagination. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" I asked hoping he would say no.

"Yes." He said and my heart sank.

"Are you scared of anything ?" He asked.

"Yes I'm scared of a lot of things actually." I said chuckling. "I'm scared of being alone forever, heights, the dark, bugs and storms."

He laughed. "Wow you're scared of a lot of things."

"And you ?"

"No I'm not scared of anything at all." He said triumphantly.

"Come on, you must be scared of something. You can trust me you know." I said.

~Natsu POV~

Can I really trust her ? Every inch of my body is telling me I can but then again every inch of my body is telling me I love her which can't be true.

I decide to tell her after mentally debating with myself for the past couple of minutes. "Fine. But you can't tell anyone at all. I'm scared of puppies." I said and she gaped at me before bursting into a fit of laughter clenching her stomach. Yes it's true I am scared of puppies. "I'm also scared to see the ones I love die." I said and she stopped laughing before looking at me.

She suddenly wrapped her arms around me leaving me motionless and shocked at the sudden contact.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"For what ??" I asked confused.

"That life has been cruel to you. You didn't deserve it. Anyway I'm going to bed now, I'm shattered. Night Natsu and thanks again for today." She said pulling away from me but plopping a warm kiss on my cheek.

My eyes followed her out the room and when she left I brought my hand up to my cheek where her soft lips made contact with it. My cheeks started to feel hot and my heart started beating uncontrollably. I felt like it would burst out my chest any minute. Is this 'love' ?

Whether or not this is love, I can't deny that this girl is changing me and that I'm falling for her. She makes me feel things I've never felt before, not in a long time anyway.

Lucy Heartfilia, What are you doing to me ?
