Fell In love with the Dragon. (NaLu FanFic)

Chapter 8: I promise

✔  *Natsu POV*

"Hey Natsu, don't you think we're forgetting something?"

     Happy mumbled the question while we were both gulping down the noodles like there was no tomorrow. I quickly grabbed a juicy beef steak with my bare hands and shoved it in my mouth. God, these things are delicious. Irresistibly magnifico!

    "What do you mean forget?" I chuckled at his question. "There's no such thing as---" My eyes went wide open and so did Happy's.

HOLY CRAP

     "LUCY!!!" We both screamed in horror. I can't believe I forgot to chain her with me! Damn my perfectly amazing instincts to eat food! How can I help it!? It's practically the most tempting thing on earth and it's found everywhere you go! Food!

    Still in shock, we both stopped our eating for a second and leaned on the back of the chair we were sitting in. Cheers, to the most careless kidnappers in the whole wide world. Ugh, why did I take this job anyways!?

     "She could be anywhere." Happy started, looking at the food with pity. 

   "She's like a poor helpless widow wandering on the streets..." I say, looking at the food with pity.  Our imaginations were going wild.

    "She might get tricked by a homeless person and get hurt!" Happy looked at me in anguish. I'm so guilty of this.

     "Lucy, knowing her, she'd probably be in the most drastic situation one could ever think of right now!" We both started exaggeratedly mourning for one of our fallen nakamas. We shall find her!

 ✔ *Lucy POV*

"OH MAN, I'M STARVING."

     I exclaimed as I munched on some pretty alluring food on the table. Wonder how many calories would each one make? Ah, there's no point in counting anymore! I might not get to eat this plenty next time! So here I am, eating vigorously next to a stranger I just bumped into on the road.

Seems normal.

    "You sure eat a lot." The blue headed guy said as he also grabbed a piece of a petite chicken wing and nibbled on it. God, he eats like a girl.

    "I haven't eaten in days, okay!?" I retorted. It was a white lie, I did manage to sneak out some food from the 'prison' refrigerator while Natsu wasn't looking (which was impossible, by the way) and also keep some packaged securely under my bed. I was totally a great thief.

     "You haven't eaten in days? Why? You broke?" He semi-laughed while he started to drink some beer. 

    "Hey, I don't want to get pitied by some stranger that goes and asks random girls for meals, alright?" I said, shoving a part of a turkey in my mouth. Mmm, now this was some good stuff.

     "Well sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not a stranger now." He said, putting up a face. "The name's Gray Fullbuster." He smirked.

     "Haven't heard of it." I said smiling wide at him. I'm sure that just crushed some manly pride in him or anything. I mean, he looks like some rich man's spoiled kid! Look at those impressive tones and muscles!.... Damn, I'm so inappropriate. How did my personality end up like this again? Oh right. Was trapped in castles... two times.

     "It's fine, I'm not really that popular....just a plain old tourist." He said, gulping down his soba noodles.

    "You're kidding... right?" I said, placing down my spoon in disbelief. Seriously? Tell me he's joking. "But you've probably had tons of girlfriends here and there."
