Getting To Know You

Lucy: * cuts two piece of cake for the the both of them * here you go so what do you want to talk about

Natsu: well I was thinking that. I hardly know anything about you so I wanted to take this chance to get to know you better

Lucy: oh right we never really had a chance to get to know each other

Natsu: yeah and since we are going to be traveling together. I would like to know and understand you better

Lucy: okay then what do you want to know

Natsu: well can you tell me a few things about your past like where you are from and what kind of family you have stuff like that

Lucy: well I guess I should start by telling you my real name, my name is Lucy Heartfilia I was born and raised in the Heartfilia family mansion

Natsu: oh I see that explains why you were dressed up for formally when you joined and why you talked like that

Lucy: yeah I have a loving mother and a supportive but protective father he means well he can just go overboard sometimes

Natsu: I see that is good to know that you still have loving parents that are waiting for you to come home unlike me

Lucy: why what happened to your parents

Natsu: they burned in a building while saving a child that was trapped inside

Lucy: I'm sorry to hear that it must have been hard on you

Natsu: well it was a long time ago so don't worry about it

Lucy: but if you're parents died because of a fire why do you use fire magic

Natsu: * looks at his hands* because every time the flames burst out of my hand's it reminds me of how helpless I was to save my parents, and it reminded me all the hardship I went through, and these flames are my promise that no one have to lose their loved ones while I can do something about it

Lucy: oh I see ( he uses his trauma to push himself forward not letting the past control his future I admired his strength before but this just makes me understand him even better for why he does things) 

Natsu: do you keep in touch with your family Lucy

Lucy: yeah I write my mom a letter every weekend letting her and dad know that I'm fine and to tell them about my progress

Natsu: I know I may come of as nosey for asking you this but why are you angry all the time

Lucy: *sighs and plays with her hair* you know my rule correct

Natsu: that your number grows with every complement you get right

Lucy: yeah and because of that I started to hate my body and every single man that I have met, they are just so ugh I can't even find the words to describe them

Natsu: I don't really understand the situation

Lucy: * looks down at the table* I became a number hunter because I wanted to show that I'm more than just a pretty face, that I have actually worth in this world * tears start to fall on the table * but everywhere I go nothing changes people treat me like I'm some kind of object, no matter how high my number gets people will only see a beautiful girl and not a strong independent women

Natsu: * holds her hand gently* I never knew that you are going through such hard times. I'm sorry that I wasn't there when you must have needed someone to talk about this

Lucy: * shakes her head a bit* it's not your fault it's the people's fault for treating me like that

Natsu: I never saw you anything less than my equal Lucy The Berserker. I never saw you as a pretty face because the only thing I could ever saw, was the hard work and effort you put into training and getting where you are now
