Nalu: First, Last Love

Chapter: 5

Lucy's (POV) after mine and Natsu's job together was over, we headed back to the guild. We really worked well together as a team. I blushed at the thought. Before we ended up at my house, which he walked me to, he grabbed my arm. "Lucy..." He said. I turned towards him. "What is it Natsu." I asked confused. He hugged me. "I think I like you..." He said. "N-NAtsu. Let me go. I already have someone else I like." I said trying to break his grasp. He let go. "Who. Gray?" He asked. My eyes widened how did he know? "It has nothing to do with you." I said flustered and ran up the stairs to my apartment. "Have you forgotten that Gray and Juvia was suppose to meet us on this job Lucy?" He questioned. I forgot all about that. "I know you forgot. In that case...I lied about them meeting us. I just wanted to spend time with you to understand these weird feelings I've been having." He said. "You lied to me? If that's how you want to impress me then you've got your plan all wrong." I said rolling my eyes. "Then tell me why you forgot about him for a minute. Just think about it. I was the one who made you forgot. Think about it Lucy." He said walking away. I opened the door to my room and slumped down to the floor. "There's no way I could forget about Gray. What the heck are you doing to Me Natsu!" I said aloud. "What are you doing to me..." 

Grays POV I sat Juvia down on the bed inside the guild. She had broken her foot and I carried her all the way to the guildhall. We went on a mission together today. "I'm so sorry Juvia. I should've protected you." I said holding her hand. She snickered. "It's ok. It's not like I'm dying. I've broken bones plenty of times before." She said trying to smile through the pain. "You're not making me feel any better." I said. She squeezed me hand. "Go home for today. It's getting late." She said. I got up from the bed. "Please sleep tight. I'll go get Wendy. She can heal your foot. I'll come check on you again tomorrow." I said leaving her be with Wendy. I got home around 10:00. I feel awful for not being there and stopping her from that fall. I was so worked up and wanted to impress her that I forgot about actually watching her back. 

  Lucy's (POV) My hearts been pounding ever since the day started. Natsu...I just met him...I've known Gray for years. He's more happier with Juvia it seems like. He's ignored me for an entire week. It's like my best friend became a stranger over night. I hate feeling jealous and I hate the way my heart hurts when I think of Natsu. I hate what this feeling is doing to me. I decided to take a hot bath to get my mind off it. I latex on my bed after I got out and thought for a long while. Tomorrow I've decided I'm going to confess to Gray no matter what. I have to...because...because...if I don't do it now...I might change...my heart might change...more than it already is...
