When the Rain Falls | A Nalu

Taken

Natsu

I didn't know what to say after Lucy just confessed her feelings in the middle of Gray and I fighting. I really didn't mind. She pretty much just spared Gray's life; I would've killed him on the spot. No joke about that. I realized I was still staring at Lucy's innocent face. I turned away quickly and just closed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest and ignored Grays comment. She was pretty brave though. I would've never confessed something like that ever. Well since she did.. I might as well. Gray nudged my shoulder and gave me the "guy" look. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey, Lucy..?" I said shyly walking over to her, feeling my face heat up. I don't blush, its very unusual for me.

"Hm?" I took in a deep breath and looked her over. She looked cute wearing my pants. Crap! I lost train of thought... now what am I suppose to say when I got carried away? Think, Natsu...Think...

"You look good in my pants." I said smiling. No! Not good enough.

"I look better in them though." I played off. That's better. She just looked at me and laughed.

Lucy

"Whatever Natsu. Hey, I think we need to start walking home. It's starting to get dark."

"That's my question, where's home?" Gray questioned. I gasped.

"I forgot to ask Virgo where she sent us! Hold on let me ask her." I grabbed her key.

"Open! Gate of the maiden, Virgo!" But nothing. I tried again.

"Open! Gate of the maiden, Virgo!" Still, she didn't come as I commanded.

"Why isn't she coming?? Virgo!" I yelled at the key but nothing happened. I went to put the key away but it suddenly floated out of my hand.

"What?" I jumped up to grab it but missed, inches away from touching the knob.

"Wait, Lucy!" I ignored them and continued to chase it. After about a good five minutes, I finally caught it.

"Gotcha! Where do you think you're going?" I clipped the key onto my key ring that hung on my belt, and looked at my dark surroundings.

"Great..." I hunched, and sighed.

"Hi, Lucy." I turned around to meet Loke.

"Woah! Loke! Look at you! Your hair is really long!" He looked at me funny and then smiled... evilly..?

"Wanna play a game...Lucy." It was almost like a question but at the same time it wasn't. I gave him a look but shrugged it off. Maybe he's drunk.

"Sure, what's up?" He smiled and grabbed my wrist.

"The game is called, Hide and seek." He whispered in my ear. I shivered at his hot breath that tickled my ear. I laughed nervously.

"A-alright."

"You hide first." I blushed. Why is he allowing me to hide first? I'll just go with it.

"1, 2, 3,.." I ran behind a big boulder as quietly as possible.

"...8, 9, 10. Here or not, here I come." Loke was acting extremely strange.. did something happen in the celestial world that he just needed a break from?

"Found you." I jumped and looked around but I couldn't find him.

"Up here, princess." I looked up and saw him on his all fours staring down at me on top of the huge rock. He jumped down and came awfully close to my face.

"Lucy. I've gotch you now." I was so confused. He smirked and pinned both my arms next to my head.

"W-what are you doing Loke?" I tried wriggling out of his grasp but it didn't budge.

"About to make you mine, forever." WHAT? What the hell is happening??? His body glew into a yellow light.

"What's happening?" I whispered. After the light faded away, a completely different guy was standing in front of me.

"Loke?"

"Nope, remember me? "Salamander"?" I thought back to that day when I thought I finally met the real salamander and it hit me.

"Not you again..." I groaned.

"Get off of me you creep. I knew Loke wouldn't do this, nice try though."

"I'm not letting go Lucy. Not until you give me what I want first." He trailed a hand up my left thigh.

"Hey!" I kicked him in the groin and ran.

"NATSU! GRAY!" I screamed as loud as I could but a hand covered my mouth.
