NaLu one shots

Trees - Both ✨

Authors Note:
This is based on the song, Trees, by 21 pilots. We are currently addicted to that band and we felt the urge to do a one shot based off one of their songs haha.

Happy birthday to my co-writer and one of my greatest friends, Sophie. When I first learned we shared a birthday, I knew that she and I were destined to write together. Love you Sophie, I wish I could express more about how much you mean to me and how much you've helped me through my problems. Thank you and Happy birthday love.

Natsu stood at the edge of the boundary that separated his town from the forest. It wasn't really illegal to go in the place however everyone was always too scared to even take one step thanks to some silly rumor. So that's why he was here, to prove there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Natsu..." A voice said from behind him. "Are you sure you're ok with going alone? The elders say that they lady of the forest will kill you if you go alone."

"You can't possibly believe that, Wendy." Natsu sighed and turned to face the girl. "The Lady of the forest won't kill me. If there really is one that is."

"It's just a story they made to get us to stay out of the woods. There's nothing dangerous besides poison oak and that's easily curable. I'll be back by daybreak."

Wendy looked doubtful before nodding and pulling a necklace off her neck. "Take this at least... It's the healing water I got from granny P. I have some more at home so don't worry."

Natsu stared at it for a moment before smiling and pulling it down and over his head, hiding the vile in his shirt. "Thanks..." He mumbled and brought her into a friendly hug. "I'll see you later, ok?"

Wendy smiled sadly before stepping away. "Bye bye..."

Natsu nodded to her before turning back around and facing the forest again. And without saying another word he took a step forward and began his journey into the forest.

Once he got a good distance in, he decided to stop and look up at the sky, the leaves making it possible to only see little specks of pale blue. A smile made its way back onto his face, feeling rather accomplished. "Hah! Lady of the Forest? My ass." He snorted, spinning around. "I'm perfectly fine being alo—AH!"

Natsu yelped as he tripped on a root and tumbled down a small hill, ripping up the contents of his backpack. "Damn it..." He cursed and collected everything he dropped, though he knew he wasn't just going to carry everything with him. "I guess this will just have to be my set up area for the night." He mumbled.

Natsu stood up and shuffled over to a large tree, placing his items down at its base.

"Who are you?"

The pinkette shrieked and jumped closer to the tree, cautiously looking at the source of the voice, but no one was there. "Where....?"

"Hello." A blonde girl chirped as she jumped down from his tree, standing right in front of him.

Natsu yelped again and flattened his back against the tree trunk, looking at the girl up and down. "What the..."

"I'm Lucy." The girl smiled, though it seemed a little pained. Natsu looked down to notice that she was holding onto her arm tightly, right above her elbow. Red liquid stained her hands.

"You're bleeding!" He said, shaking himself out of his thoughts as he surprised around for his necklace. Luckily it wasn't broken from his fall.

Lucy eyed the small container carefully. "You can to poison me?"
