Third Person Pov

Sunlight kissed silky hair. A pair of honey brown eyes which flecked with gold irises. Creamy and Flawless skin.

She's perfect in every people's eyes.

The blond haired maiden laid her head on her desk filled with unfinished reports and paperworks.

The door slammed open revealing a salmon haired teen grinning widely.

"Luce! Let's go eat!"

His smile dropped when the blonde made no reaction about his somehow flashy entrance.

"Are you okay?" he asked, crouching down to meet her gaze. Lucy smiled tiredly before nodding her head. "I'm fine. Just a little..tired"

Natsu Dragneel was a seventeen year old guy possessing spiky salmon hair. He has onyx black eyes and was a really great volleyball player. He was Fairy Tail's ace.

"You shouldn't pressure yourself too much" he reminded her, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe some ink in her cheek. He failed though. The black ink was clinging tightly on her rosy skin.

He clicked his tongue before running out the room. "I'll be right back!"

Lucy sighed, pulling her hair up in a messy bun. She then stood up, flexing her body around and was contented at the sickly-sweet feeling of bones cracking.

"I'm back!" Natsu exclaimed, the grin on his face didn't waiver. "Here, you should eat"

The blonde stared at the melon bread and a box of strawberry milk on his hand and back to her boy best friend. "But what about you?"

He ruffled her hair. "Don't worry about me and eat. I don't want you getting a stomach ulcer or something"

I felt a smile crawl up on my face. "That's very thoughtful of you, Natsu. Thank you"

He pulled out a chair and sat beside me. "No worries Luce. Isn't that what friends are for?"

Taking the last sip on the strawberry milk drink, I sighed contentedly. Finally, my stomach settled.

I turned to Natsu who fell asleep on the table. I giggled, staring at his features. When it came to looks, Natsu definitely excelled. He had his fair share of fangirls swooning over him.

The thing is Natsu can be really, really dense. And childish. And immature. There are also times he was overly protective. His mood swings were unpredictable that it put a girl on her period in shame.

My eyes went on the fluffy white scarf around his neck. He always kept this scarf on. It was given to him by his Father, Igneel Dragneel during his seventh birthday and I rarely see him take it off.

I grab his shoulders, shaking him back and forth. He stirred. "What is it Luce? Are you still hungry?"

I felt my cheeks turn red.

"I'm not hungry anymore, thank you very much" I crossed my arms. "But you still have to go back in class. You don't want to spend a week in detention right?"

He pouted childishly before laying his head on the table. "I don't want to go back on class Luce. It's boring"

I rolled my eyes at him. It was true that Natsu was incredible at extra curricular activities but his academic grade was incredibly low. Natsu wasn't the type to study, after all.
