NaLu! -He's my neighbour-

Date?

It has been a week. Lucy did not get out of her house at all. Her garden would wither if Juvia does not help to water them. Natsu was getting impatient. He knows the blonde is mourning her father's death, but Juvia tells him that Lucy locked herself inside the room, and rarely comes down to eat. (Which Juvia exaggerated a bit)

It worries him if Lucy falls sick due to that. Heaving out a big sigh he decided to throw away his patience.

Meanwhile, Lucy is comforting her heavy heart, cocooned in her warm blanket, on her bed. She only comes down to eat, and most of the time she spends trying to find as much information as possible.

Erza teaches her self defense just in case something happens. She's already proficient in using the whip and may not be a great shooter with precise aim, but she at least knows how to handle them. She's no longer afraid as before.

Sometimes nightmares haunted her sleep. Her mother's death. The sound of a gunshot, the metallic smell of blood, and the sticky feeling of crimson red liquid crimson red. She will wake up sweating profusely scanning her surrounding cautiously.

Her balcony was opened, the small clinking of the chimes being touch by the gentle breeze outside calms her mind. The moonlight dimly lighting her dark bedroom.

She was trying to cope that she lost her only biological family. Her father is always warm with a smile, her father whose very awkward with her but he shows his love through his action. His father will stand in front of her mother's memorial when he had free time.

"Luce!" she thought she was imagining things when she heard Natsu's voice calling out again. 

"Lucy!" the whisper-shout coming from her opened balcony.

Immediately, she walks to the balcony when the calls continue.

"Oh my god Natsu!" she nearly shrieks seeing the pink-haired man hanging awkwardly on her balcony.

"A little help please?" a grin plastered his face.Lucy helped pull him up.

"What are you doing? You could've been injured if you fall!" 

" Go on a date with me? I want to bring you to a special place," he was dusting his palm on his shirt.

"It's already midnight Natsu, you can bring me on other days." She was puffing in anger although most of them were a worry and her face was flushing because of the word 'date' . Natsu couldn't help but think that was so cute.

"Because it is night time I need to bring you. Pretty please~" She was a bit reluctant, but with his puppy eyes looking expectantly and that sad whining of his, of course, she couldn't say no.

"I'll change my clothes first," she was hurrying to her closet when Natsu pulled her back."No need too, just leave some notes so that Erza won't kill me." His grin was so carefree that she felt relieved all of sudden.

" But I'm in my pajamas! "

" Nah... Looks good to me, " Lucy can feel her face heating up." F-fine..." she stammered a bit. 'How can this guy be so straightforward?'

She nearly shouts seeing Natsu leaped out of her balcony, she rushed to see the guy landed safely, smiling he holds his hand out gesturing her to jump down.'He want me to jump?'

" No way Natsu, I'll go through the door," It's the second floor!

" Aww, c'mon Luce. This way is more exciting. Don't worry. I promise I'll catch you. Just jump," again he gestured her to jump.

"Uhh....okay, but make sure to catch me," Closing her eyes shut, she jumped with a small scream.

Just as he promised, Lucy landed in Natsu arms. 

"You're heavy," he commented, but anyone with eyes can see how he carried her with no difficulties. Heat crept to Lucy's face. One should never mention a female weight.

"You-! Put me down!" She struggled in his arm. The latter smiled but afterward, he put her down.

In front of Lucy's house, there's a motorbike parked. A flashy red Ducati 916.

Lucy didn't know the motorcycle but that one looks cool. Somehow it reflects the fiery man in front of her who was pulling her arm. Looking at her dumbfounded face, Natsu laughs.

"Never been on them before?" The cute shook of her head made him chuckled. He helped her to put on the helmet and when he's done he lightly knocked them.

"Are you ready now? I'll bring you to the most beautiful place in Magnolia's city." Seeing Lucy's nods, he got on the motorbike first before gesturing her to climb on. She managed to although awkwardly.

"Hold on to me okay?" he pulled Lucy's arm around his waist, and the blonde automatically tightened her grasp when the motorbike started to move.
