Is It You?! [NaLu FanFic]

9: Close

Translations

Nakama- Friend/Comrade

Lucy's POV

Lisanna's fist inched closer, and the only thing I could do is stay still, and be frightened.

"Stop!!"

I closed my eyes before the fist hit, all I could hear afterwards was THUD!

I couldn't feel it. I couldn't feel the punch. Did Lisanna punch me out cold?

"Open your eyes, Lu-chan!!" I heard Levy wail behind me. I removed my palms from my eyes, and I saw another hand in front of me, which Lisanna's fist jabbed into it.

"C-Cana!!" I scream out of suprise, though grateful that she stepped in.

"D-don't you dare! I won't let you hurt any more of my nakama!!" She cried, trying to push away Lisanna's bolting fist. "I'll cut you with my card if you go any further!!"

"Lisanna!" A stern, low voice called from behind Lisanna. His hands pulled her away from Cana, and he moved in front of her, arms spread wide to protect her. That's when I got the clear view of him.

Natsu.

How could he? I knew he was standing there the entire time, and he did nothing but watch as Lisanna bullied around Cana, knocked out Juvia by kick her stomach, and deliberately tried beating me up my punching me in the face! I thought Natsu was my friend! I thought he was going to stay close because he didn't want to see me be hurt.

That jerk.

"Cana, stay away from us." Natsu demanded, glaring right into Cana's dull and narrowed eyes.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM US!!!" I screamed, only making eye contact with Natsu, clenching my fist, and narrowing my eyes.

His expression dropped and his eyes softened while he looked at me,"Lucy..." He whimpered under his breath.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHOSE GIRLFRIEND TRIED TO KILL US, JUST BECAUSE WE WERE SITTING HERE, AND YOUR CALLING US THE THREAT?!" I justified, standing up and inching closer to his face. "Not to mention, you're nothing but a liar."

"Lu-chan is right!!" Juvia confirmed, her voice weak.

"Juvia, we need to get you to the nurse." Cana pleaded, hold up her hand.

"Lucy, I'm not a li-" he protested, but before he could say anything else I slapped my hand onto his mouth.

"Save it for when it's true." I walked off, leaving him and Lisanna behind us. I could only hear the muttering swears that came out of Lisanna's mouth. The only thing that worries me is why she could get so worked up on a tiny thing like that.

"Cana, hold up Juvia's left side," Levy suggested while holing up Juvia's right side. We're gonna take her to the nurse, because I have a feeling there's a shoe print marked of her stomach.

Natsu's POV

Dammit!! Why was I so careless. I only stood up for Lisanna, although she really didn't need it. Why couldn't I move and help Lucy, I felt like my body was restrained, my mind thought she'd be fine. Not only that but all of the classes after that incident, Lucy was getting teased, scoffed at, and this time I couldn't help, because she wouldn't let me. She'd slap me away, she'd kick my foot everytime I tried to say anything, I've never felt so useless to one of my friends.

I shoved my hands into my pockets as Gray walked beside me. "So what's this all about?" He groaned, glaring at the sky.

"I don't feel comfortable apologizing alone," I admitted, felling heat gathering to my cheeks.
