Lucy's POV
Natsu's been in Crocus, the capital, for about a month now and he calls me every night. He says it's just to make sure I'm safe, but I know why he's actually calling... it makes my face go red every time. I know he likes me but I don't trust easily, it's not as simple, for me, as it is for other people when it comes to trusting. Men especially. My dad, Loke, Sting... the list goes on for the men that I left in my life only for them to bring me down and show me that I mean nothing. I don't want that again. Now, do I think Natsu would ever do that to me? No, but I thought the same thing with Sting and now hugging someone is painful. Did I feel like that kiss brought me up to Cloud 9? Yes. Would I do it again? No, I'm scared I'll screw it up, and then Natsu is going to be like "Woah, I don't date girls that can't kiss, ew." He'll say in a really smug and low voice and then run his hands through his soft, yet oddly spiky, hair.
I was driving home from work, overreacting when my phone rang, Natsu. I promptly calmed myself down and answered, "Hello?"
"Why do you always answer like you don't know who it is?" I could practically hear him smirking.
"Hi, Natsu," I laughed.
"Hey, Luce~" He purred.
"You called early. Is everything alright?"
"Why does something have to be wrong for me to call you? Can I not just hear your angelic voice? Are you really going to make me give up the best part of my day?"
"Whatever, weirdo." I blushed.
"Is it cold in Magnolia?"
"It's fall, so it's a little chilly."
"Do you get cold at night?"
"NATSU! Shut up!"
"Alright, alright... Hey, pink or purple."
"Um, pink. Why?"
"No reason." There was an odd silence between us before I spoke,
"Do you know when you're coming home?"
"Home? To you? No, I have no idea."
"I meant home, as in Magnolia." I sweatdropped.
"Well, I meant to you." I blushed at his comment and then I heard him gasp in a very fake kind of way.
"Did... did I make the great Lucy Heartfilia speechless? Oh! I think all my flirting is paying off, beautiful. Oh, hey-"
"Hey!" I said cheerfully, interrupting him.
"Hi! Can you pick me up from the airport at like noon, tomorrow?"
"I thought you said you didn't know when you were coming home?!"
"I lied... sorry beautiful." I heard him snicker making me chuckle a little.
"I can pick you up, but I have to go back to the Pysch Ward until the end of the day. Oh! that reminds me- have you talked to your brother lately?"
"No? Is he okay? What's wrong? Do I need to fly home now?"
"If it was serious I would have told you a while ago, but he is being transferred under my care for an evaluation which determines his release."
"Really?" He sounded happy and also a bit sorrowful. Mhm?
"Yeah, Dr. Montgomery is really busy tomorrow so I said I'd fill in."
"If you pick me up- will I get to see him?"
"Probably. Of course, Zeref has to agree to it."
"Right... Can you tell me what he has?" He sounded unsure if he even wanted to hear the answer.
