Marriage

Luce looked at me in a panic. I quickly pulled her off the desk and hid her underneath. "Dont worry Luce, I'm here. Then I sat in my chair and straightened everything up. The knock came again.

Lucy's POV
Mr. Dragneel quickly pulled me off the desk hiding me underneath. "Dont worry Luce, I'm here." Then He sat in his chair and straightened everything up. The knock came again.
"Sorry Natsu, I didn't mean to bother you while you're grading papers." The voice was soft and high. I heard the door click shut followed by the sound of heels hitting the floor. "Makarov needs you sign these and return them to the office by the end of the day." "Very well. Set them there and I'll look at them when I'm finished with these." The footsteps grew closer. I put my hand over my mouth and held my breath. I heard papers shuffle on the desk. It was quiet for what seemed like hours. "Was there something else?" "Listen, Natsu, I want to talk about the marriage." I felt my heart stop and tears began to well up in my eyes, I pressed my hands tighter to my mouth praying they couldn't hear the pounding my chest. "Even though it is an arranged marriage I really do love you." Natsu sighed and I heard papers shuffle again. "As I've told you before, I don't feel the same. I will not marry someone simply because I was ordered to." There was a loud slam on the desk. "Why are you fighting this Natsu! It's clear that we are meant to be together, even our families agree!" Her voice grew louder "We grew up together, you've never been with anyone and even if you had I'm the best option for you and our families. I love you Natsu, we used to be so close!" Her voice grew soft again but stayed firm. "Why isn't that enough?" Natsu stood up and slammed his hands on his desk as well. "So what! I don't care what our families think is best. As for you, I've told you since we were kids that I don't see you as anything more than a sister, but you won't listen. You're no better than them, trying to force my hand. You don't care about how I feel. You're just as selfish and scheming as you've always been! Now leave my classroom!" Natsu roared. She backed away from the desk. "Hmph. You don't have a choice Natsu. You will be mine. Whether you like it or not. No one else can marry you except for me, I simply won't allow it and neither will your family." With one last hmph she turned heel and left, slamming the door on her way out. Natsu plopped back into his chair and placed his face in his hands. You could feel the stress pour off his body. What do I do? What do I say? Is there anything I could say or do? I crawled toward Natsu's chair and laid my head on his lap, between his arms. He looked down at me, worry evident in his eyes despite the soft smile he flashed me. I smiled back up at him "Don't worry Natsu, I'm here."
