Once a heartbreaker, always a heartbreaker

New Beginnings

~Natsu's POV~
"Hey, what's wrong?" Asked a little girl.

I turn my head to face her, I was shocked. She was a cute, blonde girl with beautiful chestnut eyes. I blushed slightly and looked away quickly so I don't seem like I'm staring.

"I'm fine, just want to be alone right now." I muttered as I stared out to the sunset.

"Aww okay, I just wanted to check on you because you seemed sad. I'm Lucy by the way!" Lucy said while she turned around to walk away.

I grabbed her hand before she was able to go. Although I said I wanted to be alone, I felt like I needed her to be here with me. Her presence makes me feel warm inside. She looked at me, shock within her eyes, then sent me a puzzled look.

"My name is Natsu." I said with a smile.

She looked a me and sent me a warm smile. I blush at her actions while she walked closer to me.

"Hey Natsu, don't mind me but I think you need this right now.",before I was able to speak, I was pulled into a hug with tiny arms around me. "Just looked like you needed one."

I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight. Suddenly, I felt something wet on my cheek. Tears. I cried out my heart amongst her shoulder. She stood still for a moment without knowing what to do, then suddenly rubbed my back to comfort me.

"Natsu, whatever you're going through right now just know I'm here. I'll always be here for you no matter what. Whenever you're ready to tell me what happened, just know I'm ready to listen." Lucy said calmly, soothing my breakdown even more.

"Th-thankyou for c-c-caring." I spoke between sobs.

"Friends forever?" Lucy asked. She broke the hug to face me, wiping the tears off my cheek, and then soon after she held out her pinky.

"Friends forever and always." I said with a smile on my face as I pinky-promised her.

That was the day my whole life was changed for me.
