Chapter 3

~NATSU'S P.O.V~
W-what? I feel someone is hugging me. Lemme check.
Oh. It's Lucy. I should hug her back.

~~The next day~~
"Good morning, Handsome." She blushed.
"Oh. Good morning, beautiful." I blushed too.
"I'll just make breakfast. Okay?"
"Okay." She kissed me on my forehead. I blushed.

~~Downstairs~~
Ugh. The smell of that food is sooo Good. What could that be?
"Hey, Natsu!"
"Hey, Luce! What's cookin' honey?"
"Oh! Bacon and pancakes!"
"Yum! I'm excited to eat!"
"Just go get ready. I'm fast though."
"Okie!"

~~While taking a shower~~
Why does Lucy keeps cooking good meals for me? I think she likes me. Hey, Natsu! Stop! She doesn't.
*Knock knock
"Who's there?"
"It's Lucy! Aren't you done yet?"
"I'm almost done! Just a minute."
"Oh! We're gonna be late. It's 6:30. We have to be in school at 7:00."
"I'm done now! Don't worry!"
"Well, the food is ready at the table okay?"
"Okay, Luce. Thanks."
"You're welcome, Natsu!"

~~While eating~~
*Natsu with stuffed mouth* "Hey Lucy! This Dish is the best!"
"Thanks Natsu!"
*Burps* "Oh! Excuse me!"
"You're so cute!" She giggled.
"Thanks! You too. You should now that!"
"Well, just finish your food. It's 6:45 already. We're gonna be late."
"Okay."

~~5 minutes later~~
"Lucy! I'm done!"
"Just a sec!"

~~At school~~
"Yes! We're here just in time!" I said happily.
"Oh yea! Let's go in now, Natsu."
She held my hand. Oh my God.
"Natsu? Are you okay?"
"Y-yea. I am. Don't worry."
"Okay...?"
"Trust me."
"Okay."

~~In class~~
"Hey, Natsu."
"Hey, Lis."
"Wanna eat lunch later with me later?"
I saw Lucy looking at us.
"No, thanks"
Lucy smiled. Is she jealous?
"Okay, Natsu. What about you stay in my house later?"
Lucy looked again.
"Sorry. I don't wanna."
"Oh. I understand, Natsu."
Lucy winked at me. Oh my Gosh.

~~After class~~
"Luce!"
"Yea?"
"Are you mad at me??"
"Lel no." She giggled.
"Are you jealous?"
"No!"
"Oh okay. I thought you were."
We both laughed.
"So, lunch again later?"
"Okay!"

~LUCY'S P.O.V~
Excited for lunch later. My love for Natsu is growing. What should I do? I should get help from Levy. I can trust her anyways. Right, Lucy?
*Levy passes by*
"Hey, Levy!"
"Oh! Hey, Lucy!"
"How was history class?" I giggled. I know she hates history class.
"Lucy!!!!!" I laughed.
"I can trust you, right?"
"Yea! Why not?
"N-nothing."
Natsu passes by.
"Oh hey, girls!"
"Oh, hey Natsu." Me and Levy said at the same time.
"What seems to be the problem, Luce?"
"N-nothing." I was nervous. Ugh. I looked down. I didn't want him to see me blush.
"Lucy? Are you okay?"
"Yea. I'm okay."
"Lucy. Look at me." He held my chin up. I looked left.
"...."
"Lucy Heartfilia! Look at me!"
"O-okay N-Natsu."
"Levy. Leave us alone for a minute."
"Okay, Natsu."
"Thanks."
"Okay, Lucy. What's the problem?" A tear rolled on my cheek.
"N-nothing, N-Natsu."
"Are you sure? Why are you crying?" He wiped my tears.
I hugged Natsu tight. Good thing we were alone in the hallway. Other students still has classes. He hugged back. But tighter. I cried more.
"Lucy? Can you stop crying? Don't worry. I'm here for you. Okay?" He wiped my tears.
"O-okay, N-Natsu." He kissed me on my forehead.
"Now, let's go to class. We will be late. Stop crying, okay?"
"Okay, Natsu." I smiled.

~~In class~~
Tears are still rolling down my cheeks. I don't want to let anyone see me like this. I keep wiping my tears away. Non-stop. God. I saw Natsu looking at me.
"Sir! Lucy is crying."
"Comfort her. I'll let you."
No!! Natsu!! Argh!!
"H-hey, N-Natsu."
"I told you to stop crying, right?"
"Yea..."
"What happened?"
"N-nothing."
"Stop crying. For me. Please, Lucy." He wiped my tears away.
"Okay, Natsu." I smiled.
"There. There's the best smile ever."
"Thanks, Natsu." I giggled.
"Is she okay now, Dragneel?"
"Yes sir."
"Go back to your seat now."

~~After class~~
"Lucy!!" I heard a guy screaming my name. I looked back.
"...." It was Loki. Again. Does he like me?
"Lucy!"
"Hey."
"Hi, there. Wanna eat with me later at lunch?"
"O-okay then." Hell naw. I saw Natsu looking at me and Loki.
"Hey, Lisanna!" Oh no. It was Natsu.
"Yea?"
"Wanna eat with me later at lunch?"
"Okay!" As I get jealous.
"Lucy?" My eyes are really big. Loki noticed it.
"Y-yea?" As a tear rolled to at my cheek.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yea. Why not?"
"Look. If you don't wanna eat lunch with me, it's okay. It's just lunch!"
"I-I want to. I promise." He wiped my tear. I blushed WHY LUCY?! WHY DID YOU BLUSHED?!
"Now, are you okay?"
"Y-yea."

~NATSU'S P.O.V~
How could Lucy do this to me?! God! Then now I just used Lisanna to make here jealous?! You know what Natsu? Speak to her! Don't be stupid! Be responsible!

~~At lunch~~
I saw Lucy laughing at Loki's jokes. I can't leave Lisanna! Well, I'll ask Loki or Lucy if we can join. Hmpf!
"Hey, Lis, I'll be back."
"Okay, Natsu."
Before I reached Loki and Lucy's table. I encountered Gray.
"What do you think you are doing?!"
"Going to Lucy and Loki?"
"Damn you! Didn't you saw that Lucy was crying walking through the hallway?"
"I didn't."
"Well, now you know. Don't even try to disturb them. You've hurt Lucy."
"Can I just please talk to Lucy?!"
"Well, fine."
Damn that Gray! I didn't even knew Lucy cried!
"H-hey L-Lucy."
~Awkward silence~
"Lucy! Please I'm sorry."
"....."
"Bro, just leave us alone."
"No!"
"Yes, Natsu. Please."
"Fine!"
It's not even my fault I made her jealous! It was her!
Lisanna saw me mad. She stood up.
"Hey, Natsu. I know she made you jealous. But it's okay. I'm right here for you. Okay?" She patted my back.
"Thanks, Lis."
"Let's just eat our food. I made you a homemade bento."
"Thanks, Lisanna."
"You're welcome, Natsu."

~~While eating~~
Tears are dripping through my eyes. I didn't want Lisanna to see me crying.
"Natsu? Are you okay?" Damn. She saw me.
"Y-yea. I'm okay."
"Why are you crying?"
"I'm not. I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You look like you are."
"Okay fine. I'm crying."
"Natsu, please. Stop crying. Lucy doesn't want to see you crying, right? It breaks her heart." Then she frowned.
"It also breaks my heart when she's with another boy!"
"Natsu. Please don't be mad." She patted my back.
"Thanks, Lisanna. I owe you."

~RIIIIIIIIIINGGG~
"Bye, Lisanna. See you later."
"Bye, Natsu. Thanks for spending time on me." She winked.
Then, Lucy walked with me. She was quiet. Like really quiet. I saw a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Lucy?"
"N-Natsu?"
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yea."
"Look. I know you're not okay. I know you're sorry that you ate lunch with Loki. Well, you don't have to. I made you jealous too. Right?"
"Yea." She hugged me real tight. I hugged her tighter.
