Changing a Heart

Lisanna

The next few days I faced the harsh reality that Natsu wasn't interested in me. He possibly could be but he wouldn't allow himself to flirt with me. Trust me I tried constantly to talk to him, spend time with him but he always brushed me off. As much as he rejected my offers I was still eager to get to know him. Something about him drew me to him, maybe it was humor, his smile or everything about him. 

"Natsu can you help me out with this math equation" I asked the boy hoping to get some kind of response. We sat in our math class with Gajeel as well. Although I spent a lot of time trying to get to know Natsu I also had grown close to all the members of our group. I learnt all about Gajeel and his cute relationship with Levy. 

"Ask Gajeel" He spoke bluntly without looking up at me. I turned to Gajeel who shrugged his shoulders because he was unsure of the answer. Fire blazed through my body and anger consumed me. How could someone be so cruel, I understand not wanting a relationship or not wanting to be romantically interested in someone but I didn't see why we couldn't be friends. 

"Natsu you know what, your a real dick" I spoke frustration present in my voice. Finally I had caught his attention as he looked up at me with his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. 

"What" He scoffed out, the slightest bit of anger detected.

"All I've tried to do is be your friend and get to know you, but your always brushing me off" I started huffing out my words. I was so furious I didn't care about how many people were listening.

The pinkette got ready to speak but I cut him off.

"Sorry for being kind and friendly and welcoming, like is it that hard to be nice back" I continued my rant not really understanding what I was saying.

"So you can shove your stupid blunt replies up your ass Dragneel" I stood up, furious at the boy. Annoyance and vexation pulsing through my veins as I walked out of the classroom. I felt all eyes on me including the teachers. I knew I was in for it but someone had to let him know what he is doing is not ok.

In contrast later that day I deeply regretted my actions, it had nothing to do with getting in trouble. My regret formed through the realization that I had no right to be so harsh on the boy. Levy told me he was heartbroken, who was I too judge his character. 

It's true what he was doing was wrong by I wasn't aloud to be so judgmental, especially because I had no idea as to why he was acting that way. I decided I needed to apologize to the pinkette. Making my way through the corridor I looked for the pinkette but he was missing, I hoped I hadn't scared him off.

"Lucy" I heard a familiar voice before I was swirled around to face the boy I was looking for.

"Natsu" I sighed looking at the boy, his deep onyx eyes. When I first met him he was so open and welcoming but over time he seemed mysterious and cold. I needed to know why, the curiosity and guilt was killing me inside.

"I'm sorry" We spoke spoke in unison. I looked up at the boy to see him mirror my shocked face. I wasn't expecting an apology, especially after I treated him that way.

"I shouldn't of been so cold to you" he began, I wanted to cut him off but I also wanted to hear his apology.

"Its only because I didn't want to open up to someone and be left again" he continued, his eyes remained on the floor and his hands moved slightly as he spoke. I listened to his words analyzing them over in my head and I wondered what he meant by left again.

"I think I should tell you about someone, all my friends know and your my friend" He smiled at me, it was the first smile I had received in a while and it was super refreshing.

"Who are we talking about?"

"Her name was Lisanna"
