I Will Find You My Love

Where's Lucy?!

"He isn't answering.." Erza whispered, looking at her cell. "Something's off, come on let's go" Levy said walking ahead "Where are you going?" "To Natsu's home" Levy replied. "Do you know where he lives?" Levy stopped. "Oh.." she mumbled "I'll call Gray-sama" Juvia said, digging in her purse.

"It's only a matter of time.." Natsu mumbled to himself, walking out his room. "Lucy?!" he called making the blonde flinch from inside the room. "Y-yeah?" she asked "Um..I was wondering..wanna go out and grab something to eat?" he asked, hoping she'll say yes. "Well..um..s-sorry but I can't" she said softly "Oh.." he mumbled.

Erza is gonna beat the crap out of me..

"Okay..it's fine.." he said before he walked off, towards the bathroom. Lucy sighed to herself "I'm so sorry Natsu...but I can't be seen in public..not at this time.." she whispered, putting on a shirt. "I'm so weak.." she mumbled to herself, feeling her eyes sting.

===========

Sting walked in his room slowly. "Wow.." he whispered as he looked around the almost empty room. "I can't believe she left me.." he said, walking towards what used to be Lucy's dresser. He watched himself in the mirror then pulled on a draw. "Hm" he said, looking at a picture before he picked it up and viewed it.

It was him and her in the park, he had his arm wrapped around her and she was smiling, awe..they looked so happy years ago but now.. Sting threw the picture behind him and stormed out the room.

=========

Lucy slowly walked down the stairs and to the living room, there she saw Natsu, boringing skipping through channels on the tv, laying back on the couch.

He turned to her and his eyes widened. "Lucy?" he sat up quickly on the couch.

"Are you hungry Natsu?" Lucy asked, rubbing her arm. "Oh..uh yeah, are you hungry, I can go buy-" "Let me cook for you" the blonde said, looking away a bit. "Cook for me?" Natsu asked with a raised brow.

"Yeah.." she looked back at him and smiled.

"Uh..sure..I have ingredients in the kitchen, what do you want to cook, you need help?" she chuckled "I can cook something simple like..um.." she rubbed her chin, thinking then looked at Natsu "What do you want to have for lunch?" she smiled. "Well..you can say that I'm a chicken lover.." he said casually, laying back on the couch.

"So..you'd like chicken?" "Yes!" Lucy giggled, "What kind of chicken, you want it fried..b-" "Yes fried chicken is the best, thanks Luce!" she looked at him confused "Oh well..that is what I used to call you back in high school but..you seem to forgot everything..we were best friends..remember?" he asked and she gave him an unsure look.

"We were best friends..." the blonde mumbled. "I- you know what forget it..it doesn't matter" Natsu said, forcing a smile. "Well..I'm gonna go..cook" "Oh sure" he smiled when the blonde walked her way to the kitchen. When she was gone, he gave out a sigh.

"Wow..can't believe she forgot all about me.." Natsu whispered.

.

"Are you guys serious..you can't be serious" Gray said annoyed as ever, driving towards Natsu's home. "We are, Natsu could be holding her hostage!" Gray couldn't help but chuckle. "Something funny Gray?" he stopped with the glare Erza sent him.

"Uh..n-no maam!"

"Come on Erza, don't scare him, he's helping us" Juvia whined from the backseat, sitting next to Levy. "Wow..it's been a while since I last saw Natsu.." Levy mumbled to herself.

"Girls, you're over reacting, Natsu is not that type of person, you know that" "Well people change Gray, you never heard of that?" Gray sighed with roll of his eyes.

.

Lucy hummed, standing behind the counter cutting up some vegetables on a cutting board. She didn't knew why she was acting like this but she had to return the favor. Natsu really helped her and she was so grateful for that.

She smiled, now taking a carrot and scraping off the skin with the knife. She sighed, pushing a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.

.

Natsu smiled when the sweet scent of food hit his nose, he turned to the kitchen and couldn't help but smile when he heard her humming.

"Want some help?" Natsu asked, suddenly. "Uh..no everything's good" Lucy said from in the kitchen. "You sure, do you have everything you need?" he asked again, sitting up on the couch. "Uh..yeah- ouch!" his eyes widened as he stood up "Are you okay?!" he quickly walked towards the kitchen and there he saw Lucy, washing her hand in the sink.

"Luce?" "Oh yeah I'm fine, I just cut my finger with the knife.." she said, her back facing him.

"Let me see.." her eyes widened when he took the hand she've been rinsing and took a look at her finger. "You really did cut yourself.." Natsu said, looking at the long scrape on her index finger. "Yeah..I wasn't really focusing when I was cutting the veges.." Lucy smiled. "Here" Natsu said, giving her a tissue.

"Oh thanks" she smiled, wrapping the tissue around her finger, putting pressure on the scrape to stop the bleeding. "You think you'd be able to cook?" he asked "Yeah...yeah, this is just a scratched I had worse cuts like this-" she stopped herself.

"Worse cuts?" Natsu asked but she quickly shook her head. "Oh I never said anything.." she then walked back towards the vegetables. "You can go back to the tv, I'll be fine.." Lucy said, letting her back face him.

"Oh..uh..okay" Natsu said, slowly walking away and out the kitchen.

Lucy released a breath once he was fully out. "I can't believe I just said that" she whispered, placing her hand on his chest.

========

Natsu sat back down on the couch, going back to watching football but stopped when he recieved a knock on his front door. He sighed before standing up and walking towards the door.

"Dammit, who the hell could it be.." he grumbled before he opened the door. "Yeah?" he asked but stopped once he saw the people he didn't wanted to see. "Oh shit.." he whispered, under his breath.

"Natsu" Erza said. "Uh..y-yeah?"

He looked at Gray who gave him an uneasy look. "I'm sorry man but they forced me, they think that you kidnapped Lucy, can you believe that?" "Natsu, do you know where's Lucy?" Levy asked. "Oh...oh no no!" Natsu said, shaking his head.

"See, I told you guys.." Gray said, folding his arms.

Erza glared at him before returning to Natsu. "Natsu.." she said "Yeah?" "Now I don't want to hurt you...all I want to know is if you have Lucy here" "O-of course not" "Then why are you stuttering?" Juvia asked. "Because Erza gives me the creeps" "Tell me about it.." Gray mumbled.

"I heard yesterday you visited her in the hospital after you..hit her with your car accidently" Erza said, giving him a deadly look making the man gulp in fear. "I did but it was by accident!" "Do you know that Lucy went missing after that visit?" Levy asked.

Natsu faked gasped "Really? how am I now hearing this?" he covered his mouth in fake shock. "But I t-" "Shut up Gray" "Let us in" Erza said and his eyes widened. "What?" "Let us in so we can have a look" Erza said with fold arms. "B-but I told you guys, she isn't here, what you guys don't trust me?" Natsu asked.

"You're nervous...by that we know that you're lying" Natsu tched. "I don't have Lucy" he said, facing Erza. "Oh yeah then let us in" "I don-"

"Natsu..lunch is ready!" Lucy said from in the kitchen.

Erza looked at Natsu, Natsu looked at Gray, Gray looked at Juvia and Juvia looked at Levy. "Na-" Erza received the door shut in her face. "Natsu!!"

Natsu quickly locked the door and ran off. "Natsu!!" there were pounding on the door.

Natsu quickly ran in the living room and there he saw Lucy giving him a wierd look "What's wrong?" she asked "Natsu! open this door before I break it down!!" "Is that Erza?!" Lucy asked, standing up from the couch.

"Lucy..don't go by that door!!" Natsu yelled.
