Twenty-Four Days {NaLu Christmas Au}

7

"I hear from Cana that you've been going out with someone! Who is he?" Levy interrogated me, "What's he like?" She held my hands and skipped around. "Maybe you can not be a complete loner at my wedding!"
"Wow thanks Lev," I sigh "I feel the love"
"I know you do! What's his name?" She demands.
"His name is Natsu, and he is really nice."
"What's he look like!?"
"You're really getting into this"
"Answer the question!" She pouts.
"He has a really nice build and he has the really beautiful black eyes,"
"Ooh Lucy, I think that you may be in Lo-ove" she sings the last few words.
"I just met him like a week ago!" This isn't some stupid Disney movie, and I can't even understand my emotions why should she.
"Oh okay, just tell me more about him." She looks at me with a smug look on her face, she is up to something.
"Well he is tall and he has really cute messy pink hair, and is seems like an idiot at first but he can give some really good advice."
"Lucy, I think that you like him more than you're letting on, just by the way you're describing him, I can tell that you love him."
"Wha- how would you know what's going on in my head?" I ask, somewhat upset.
"Lucy, I'm engaged, I know what it's like to be completely in love with someone."
"I don't know how many times I have to say it but." I take a breath "You. Can't. Love. Someone. You. Just. Met. A. Week. Before."
"You're impossible, and you will never finally settle down with that attitude," she grabs onto my shoulders and stands on her tiptoes to get eye level with me. "Listen to your emotions and don't let yourself over think anything, you're your own person don't forget that."
She steps down and let's go of my shoulders, and holds out her hand showing off her ring. "That's how I got this far. I have to go now my trains gonna leave."
"I swear Lev, I see you for a couple seconds then you leave."
"Oh and before I forget, did you get accepted to my school?" She giggles.
"Oh right, I did!" I squeal, she squeezes me and then runs off towards the train station and I wave in her direction.
I'll finally be able to see her more often, but if I do that I won't see Natsu or the others anymore, I want to save all my money to going to my mother's treatment, it's not like I can just spent a bunch of money on transportation like Levy is. I sigh to myself, anything it takes to save her.
Later on that evening, I was going to go on another date with Natsu, were going to go for a ride around the city, nothing too extravagant, but nice.
I hear a knock on my door and I see natsu leaning on my door frame, like a guy from a biker movie, he is wearing a leather jacket and his hair is slicked back, but since his hair is so messy, bits stick out, he is holding something behind his back.
"Hey there pretty lady." He says with a raspy voice. I chuckle to myself.
"What are you doing?" I laugh, I'm not complaining because damn.
"Aww c'mon go with me on this." He pouts.
"Sure thing," I laugh "what's behind you back?"
"Oh, here" he reveals a motorcycle helmet with pink flames
"What's that for?" I ask
"Our ride isn't going to be just some boring car ride, no" he takes my hands and takes me to a motorcycle.
"I call this the flame dragon!" He says showing off the motorcycle. He takes his helmet you with red flames.
He helps me put on my helmet and then he puts on his own, then he gets on the bike and revs it.
"Like what you see?" He laughs. Then he takes my hand then I sit behind him. I hold onto his waist and I can feel his abs through his shirt.
CalmDownLucyCalmDownLucyCalmDownLucy!
He starts up the bike and we start driving, I find myself holding onto him even tighter. I feel so close to him right now.
"Hold on" he says as we make a turn, he speeds off onto a dirt road.
"Where are we going?" I ask
"You'll see" he picks up the pace and then stops in the middle of a forest clearing.
He steps off and offers his hand to mine.
"My lady" I chuckle and I take his hand. He helps me off and he leads me out to a area with flat stones.
"Natsu, how do you know about this place?"
"I just kinda found it one day."
He sits down on the rock and pats down the spot next to him. I sit next to him.
"Why did you bring me all the way out here Natsu?" I inquired.
"I wanted to ask you something."
"Well..."
"I wanted," he looks away and sighs then he looks at me he moves my face so that I look him in the eyes.
"I wanted to ask you if, it would be okay if I wanted to go steady with you." His face slowly turned red, "but it's okay if you don't want to, I just didn't want anyone looking at you like that." He looked away.
My heart pounded, of course not! I thought, I had only just met you! You can't simply claim me as yours after a couple dates! My face grows hot and my hands shake, I shouldn't keep him waiting on my answer, I should just let him down, so that he can get over it sooner.
He looks back to me his eyes look sad.
"I'm sorry, it too early right?" He stands up and starts to walk away.
"Wait!" I held onto his leather jacket.
"Yes, I would like to be your girlfriend."  He looked down at me.
"Really?" His face lights up again. He helps me up and picks me up. He spins me around both of us laughing as we spin around. We stop and look at each other.
His eyes look so much brighter in the moonlight, and his slicked back hair is even messier than before.
I can feel myself being pulled words him, I don't feel the need to resist, I slowly get closer to him, I can feel his breath on my face, I wrap my arms around his neck and he grabs my face, our lips are almost touching when we hear the motorcycle rev.
We both look towards the bike to see a guy on it driving away.
"Oh damn it! Natsu yells as he begins to follow after the guy on the bike. He turns back around and I can see the fire back in his eyes. He shakes it off and looks back to me with is kind eyes. "I'm
"Sorry Lucy, this is all my fault." He says walking back to me. My heart's still pounding and my face feels so hot, why am I feeling so pulled to him, I can't really be in love with him could I?
"It's fine, i'll just call someone to pick us up." I dial Juvia's number but her line is busy. I curse to myself so I texted her instead, telling her where we were, even though I'm not all that sure myself.
"Well we might be here for a while." I said with a sigh. I look up at Natsu and he looks back at me.
"Why don't we continued where we left off?" He says wrapping his hands around my waist.
I wrap my hands around his neck, what the hell am I doing, why am I giving in so easily, why do I feel like this?
"I'd like that." I say getting closer to him.
"Hey Natsu, whatcha' doing out this late?" I hear a familiar voice, Gray.
"God fucking dammit" Natsu curses softly.
"Oh sorry man, I didn't realize-" Gray apologized.
"No wait, could you give us a ride back, someone stole my motorcycle."
"Oh sorry about that, yeah you can totally come with me, I'll give you a ride"
Natsu took my hand and walked me over to Gray's truck. Gray and I sat in the front while Natsu sat in the back. Gray didn't want any funny business in his truck. As if I'd let that happen and I don't think Natsu is that type of guy.
Juvia had texted me and apologized that she couldn't help me earlier, but I told her that Gray helped me and that everything was okay, then she kept going on about how great of a guy he was.
The clouds grew dark and covered the moon soon later the rain started to pour down.
"Thank goodness you found us when you did Gray we would of been out there in the cold." Natsu thanks gray.
"I'm sure you guys would of found a way to stay warm" gray winks at Natsu.
"Was that necessary, Gray" Natsu looked mad, like always when he's mad, something changed in his eyes. I mean the little remark Gray said wasn't necessary but it was still just a joke.
"Natsu it's okay calm down" I try to calm him down, I know he came from a fighting school and he could probably really hurt someone if he wanted too.
"Yeah Natsu it was just a Joke." Gray looked at Natsu behind him.
During this time I had noticed two other lights in front of us, at first I thought it was just like a reflection on the ground from all the rain and rain puddles, but it started getting closer-
"Gray! Look out!" Gray turned back around and everything moved in slow motion, I could feel the car turning upside down and then nothing.
