Ditching School

Natsu grabbed my hand and smiled. "Let's get out of here Luce." "But it's the middle of the school day, how are we supposed to do that?" I laughed. He suddenly got a mischievous look on his face. "I have a fool proof idea!"

Natsu's POV
Lucy sat hunched over and held her stomach tightly. Headmaster Makarov appeared from his office and looked at her with concern. "My dear what seems to be ailing you?" "Her stomach seems to be upset. She's been feeling nauseous and has become increasingly pale. I'm having Mira contact her father to come pick her up." I looked down at Lucy who peeked back with worry, through her curtain of hair. I gave her a wink and a smile, then rested my hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry Miss Heartfilia, I should have noticed you were feeling unwell sooner, so I'll make sure everything is taken care of." Just as I finished Mira popped back into the office. "Well that's good to hear Natsu. It seems Lucy's father is out of the country on business. Since you've already made the promise you should follow through." Mira gave me a knowing smile. "I think I can handle your classes for the rest of the day, now you take the poor girl home before she gets any worse." She urged Lucy up and into my arms, then swiftly out the door. Makarov poked his head out of the main office door and gave us a quick wave. "Get well soon my child!" We walked quickly to the parking I hopped on my bike and pulled her effortlessly onto the back, then slid the spare helmet over her head. "Safety first Luce." I winked. She rolled her eyes with a giggle and hugged my back tightly, and just like that we were off.
I wasn't sure where we were going. I just needed to get out there, to get away from all the stress and who better to destress with than with my Luce? I'm not ready to take over the family business, they have Zeref, I don't know why father wants me to take over anyways. As if that wasn't enough, he wants to force me to marry someone I don't love? Someone I see as my sister? It's disgusting. They've never thought about what I want. *ugh* I shook my head trying to refocus on thoughts of the beautiful girl that was hugging me tightly. I need to take her somewhere far enough away that people won't recognize us. Somewhere we can have fun, relax and act like a real couple. Wait a minute...Lucy and I aren't a couple. Wait, we're not a couple, yet. I know just where to go...
