The Reason Why | NaLu ✔️️

1. You were kind

This is probably one of the more obvious reasons, but I want to start out like this. You are very kind and that's what helped me overcome my sadness.

I remember it was our freshman year, and I was sitting on a random bench outside, watching all the other students eat lunch with their own group of friends, or just with one person by their side. However, I had no one to talk to.

I felt like crying, but that would show everyone that I was a wimp and that I was weak. I held in my tears and tried to avoid the people in front of me, smiling and laughing freely with the people they loved and trusted.

Chewing on my sandwich, I felt a warm presence plop down next to me. I looked away from the skies and to my right, seeing you sitting there with your lunchbox on your lap, wearing the brightest smile I had ever seen.

The first thing I thought when I saw you was, she's beautiful.

"You looked lonely, so I came to sit with you," you said happily, unzipping your lunchbox and pulling out a fruit roll up.

I wanted to say, "You're just doing this out of pity, aren't you?" but I couldn't find the determination to say that to you.

You were the first person who had talked to me this year, and I didn't want to lose you. So, I kept my mouth shut as you handed me the fruit roll up.

"You can have it," you had said, pulling out your bag of potato chips and opening them. "What's your name?"

"Natsu," I answered in a low voice, which I was surprised you had heard over the loud voices surrounding us.

"I'm Lucy," you greeted me, placing a potato chip in your mouth and crunching it down.

From there, we started small conversations here and there, but even though it wasn't much, I had finally felt a small bit of happiness in my heart.

Your voice was smooth like honey and your laugh was the prettiest sound I had ever heard. I loved how your blonde hair practically flowed in the rays of the sun, cascading down your slender figure. Your eyes were a gorgeous mocha color, and they shone with a million emotions, making it impossible for me to look into your eyes and not get a queasy feeling in my stomach.

I knew I wanted to be your friend.
