The History Behind Us (nalu)

TEN

Recap

Natsu realizes Lucy has been distant over the past couple of days, and decides to ask her about it.

She says everything is fine, but is caught in a lie later when he shows up at the nursing home to help volunteer, and Lucy is no where to be found.

While at the nursing home, Natsu has one on one time with Warrod. The old wise man gives Natsu some advice about his feelings towards Lucy.

Natsu takes his advice, venturing to the blonde beauty's house. Although when he arrives, she is coming down with a fever.

He stays, taking care of her, and we last see him receive a lovey text from Lisanna. He leaves Lucy's, but says he will check on her the next day.

Natsus POV

I wake up and head to school until my study hall, which was 3rd period.

I head over to Lucy's to check on her. I haven't been able to keep her out of my mind all day. Even when she's sick, she has this pull on me.

On the way to her house, I notice a small stand with flowers for sale.

This is perfect.

I stop the car, and get out to buy some.

I set the flowers on the front passengers seat, and continue to Lucy's.

When I arrive I notice another car. I don't recognize it though, so it's definitely not Levy's or anyone from the gang.

I start making my way up her drive way when I catch a glimpse of her in the kitchen.

I smile and start to walk a tiny bit faster when my heart instantly stops. Like my foot slamming on the breaks of a car.

Another boy, not much older than I, walked up to Lucy.

I stood back observing their body language. She smiled and giggled after he talked.

I didn't watch for long because I saw something that changed everything I talked to Warrod about before.

He bent over and kissed Lucy on the forehead.

I was furious.

I turn around, get in my car, and leave before anyone saw me.

Whoever that guy was, Lucy doesn't need me. She has him.

I return back to school and stay for the entirety of the day.

Lucy's POV

*ding dong*

I awake to the sound of the doorbell. I stretch, get up, and go pursue whatever visitor I had at the door.

I can't believe Natsu would come this early.
