The Bad Boy and Me✔️ (Natsu x Reader)

Your POV
On my way home from school I'm deep in thought. I don't notice anything until I feel someone touch my shoulder making me jump. I look and see it's Natsu.

"It's ok. It's just me." He says calmly but I'm scared to death of him. I feel like he's following me and wants to do something bad to me.

"I see but that doesn't make the situation better. Your reputation makes me scared of you Natsu. You don't sound bad but I hear you are bad. Very bad." I tell him while backing away and shaking in fear. "I'm sorry!" I squeal and run away.

I feel so bad. I saw the pain in his eyes and he looked like he wanted to cry. Can he cry? Would he cry over me? I run home and head straight to my room and proceed to freak out. Luckily no ones home.

"Ugh!" I shout and pace the room. "He doesn't seem like a bad guy but his reputation says he is. He has only been nice to me though. He hasn't held any hostility to me at all. But his reputation says he will destroy me, use me and drop me. Is he just trying to seduce me?! I feel like I should get to know him but I'm scared!" I yell and continue to pace furiously

I decide to go for a walk. I step outside and see Natsu walking. He looks upset. Is he upset because of me?

"Natsu!" I call and he freezes. He stares at me in shock and I see his face holds pain. "Come here." I motion for him to come and he does.

He walks up to me and I restrain myself as best I can from shaking. He's still intimidating to me. I look in his eyes and see they are red and wet. I see tear stains on his cheeks. He's never cried. Ever.

"Natsu. Did you cry because of what I said?" I ask softly and he looks at me shocked. "Your eyes are red and wet and there's tear stains on your cheeks." I tell him softly and touch his face gently.

I watch as his face goes from upset to content in half a second. Him with a blissful look and calm expression just makes me melt.

"Yeah. I did." He admits with extreme sadness in his voice.

"I never thought you of all people would cry, especially over me." I tell him sadly. "I'm sorry."

"Don't you cry now to." He says in a sad tone that made me look at him in shock. He touches my face and I feel how gentle his hands are. He's not being rough or forceful. He's being nice and gentle. Something I didn't even think he new existed. I look in his eyes and see the pain and sadness in them.

I can't help but shed tears. I feel so bad. I made the schools bad boy cry because I wouldn't give him the time of day. I grab him and hold him and bury my face in his chest and he lets me. He wraps his arms around me and I just feel like he's crying again.

I stay in his arms for a long time before I calm myself and pull away. He doesn't want to let me go but he does anyways. I look at him and see he did indeed cry again and I just feel my heart break.

"Natsu. I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. It's just. Your reputation. It made me think you just want to use me and toss me away like you did all the other girls. But seeing you cry. Made me realize your not all bad." I tell him with sadness and fight back tears again.

"So will you get to know me?" He asks hopefully but with sadness in his voice still

"Yes. But only outside of school. Us being seen together will surely draw a crowd and start rumors and I'd rather not have any attention drawn to me." I tell him and watch his eyes shine with happiness.

"I can do that." He says softly

"Tell me. Why me? Why be sad about me rejecting you? Why even pursue me at all?" I ask him curiously
