EDITED
Those eyes…
That boy…
So much sadness….
I want to save him….
"Are you ok…?"
Damn it, so early and he is already at it! Class haven't even started! I'm going to punch him till he can't even breathe! I swear! Oh sorry, you must be confused so let me start by the beginning. Today had begun so nice, I had a big breakfast with my friends, I beat that ice idiot on a fight, nothing new there, I had done my homework, for once, I managed to not spill any food on my uniform, which was a miracle, but all that was ruined by the news of the bully striking again.
See, this bully just joined our school this year and, even though we're only a month into the new school year, he has already managed to get a reputation of bullying other students and causing trouble with anyone who crosses his path, but he only bullies people from the second year, like me, even though he is only a first year, weird right?
After running for at least ten minutes I finally managed to find him! There he was, with his rough, spiked, long black hair, far too many piercings for his own good and eyes like a beast ready to eat it's meal, holding his victim by the collar. I didn't even pay attention to the boy, but only because I was focused on saving him from the bully! "Gazille!" I shouted as I sped up, a fist raised ready to punch him in the face. He tossed the boy aside and turned towards me, spreading his legs a bit and preparing for impact, I took his invitation and punched him with all my might right in his stomach, for I knew that he would protect his face, but he just tightened his abs and endured the blow as if it was nothing, although he was still pushed backwards a bit. I looked at him, glaring really, he had this evil look in his eyes. He barely felt that punch. See, he had another reputation around the school; metal dragon. That was thanks to two reasons, the first was the rumour that he had a tattoo of a dragon somewhere on his body, and the second is the fact that he can endure almost anything. Seriously, he brags about his endurance to everyone and no one ever saw him dodge in a fight, even when a guy tried to hit him with a lead pipe he didn't try to dodge, he just stood there and took it like the pipe was made of paper. It's like his skin is made of steel or something!
He licked his lips, as if savouring the fighting aura around us, and, before I could react, his fist flew to my face. I tried to dodge but it was too late, his punch made full contact with my face and I was blown away. I didn't fall, no, I quickly turn and managed to get my balance back as I fell on my feet, still going backwards even after landing. I glared furiously at him, but he only smirked at me and laughed out loud. I knew what would come next, but I couldn't let it happen, not again! I dashed with all my might, once again fist raised ready to punch, this time aimed for his face and sure to hit the target, but he quickly lowered himself and spun around, kicking me in the stomach and sending me flying once more, only this time I crashed against the wall and let out a painful moan, still I refusing to fall.
"So weak…Tell me, how do you plan on saving anyone like that?" He said looking down on me. I remained quiet. I had no answer, not after being unable to even graze him. "Hunf" Was all that he let escape his lips as he turned and walked away, leaving me there as if I was just a bug, not worth wasting his time to squash.
"Wait!" I shouted as I started to reach out for him, but, before I could give chase after him, the bell went off. "Damn it, I'm gonna be late again!" I said to no one in particular. Without losing a moment I turned around and ran with all the strength I had left. I was a bit sore and I could taste a little bit of blood inside my mouth, but I'm strong so I know that I didn't get a bruise and my face won't get swollen, although my uniform was quite messed up but maybe the other students and the teachers would think it was just me being sloppy and wouldn't notice that I fought, and didn't win. I didn't lose either! I never won or lost against that damn freak, he always walk away, it's so frustrating! He is probably afraid that I will find his weakness, that has to be it, or else why would he keep doing that? Oh, no point thinking on it too much, that will just overheat my brain, and I need it…mostly to think what I'm going to have for lunch but still.
When I finally reached my class I was already ten minutes late, so I peeked in very discreetly, 'lucky' for me the teacher was absent and professor Makarov, the head of our house, was covering for him. No matter, I am a master of stealth! As soon as he turned his back to the class I quickly crawled up to my seat, quiet and soft as a kitten, and sat down with a major grin. Gray, who sits next to me, pointed to the side of my desk, showing me that my stuff had been brought there for me. I smiled in reply and nodded as if thanking him. "Ok class, this pretty much covers everything, except for mister Dragneel who just joined us, so someone please sacrifice your tim- I mean, please be generous to take some time and explain this to him after he finish detention, ok?" The whole class laughed loudly as I slumped back into my seat, my smile quickly turned into a frown as my cheeks burned in embarrassment
The rest of the classes passed pretty normal, I yawned, paid no attention, slept a bit, passed around some notes, blah blah blah, the bell rang, gifting me with the blessing of recess and I dashed out of class. It was pizza today, you see, and now I am at the table with my friends and a plate with a small mountain made of pizzas, which I was quickly devouring. "So you lost again, eh?" Gray teased me, as everyone had already finished their meal and I was still half way through mine. Damn that bastard, I am so going to kick his ass later!
"Ah dinf't loth" I tried to say that I didn't lose, without stopping my munching of course.
"How bout you swallow first?" He said raising a hand to cover his face from the food that flew of my mouth when I spoke, but I just shrugged and got back to my food.
"But it's odd isn't it? You've been chasing him for two weeks now and every day he tosses whoever he is bullying aside, punch you and walk away just before the bell rings." Lucy said, she is a blond girl from my class, very smart. She only joined the school last year but we've became good friends since then.
"And don't forget his how-do-you-plan-to-save-anyone-? catch phrase." Loki added. He was one of the cool kids, very popular with the ladies, been in the school since long ago, fell in love with Lucy at first sight and, after a lot of flirting and stuff, he managed to turn her into his girlfriend. I noticed he left the weak part out of consideration, not that I cared that much…just a bit.
"I heard he only picks on people from the second year, even though he is a first year, unless someone picks a fight with him, then he beat them out cold without caring about whatever year that person is." Erza said as she crossed her arms, she was a third year and class president, very popular but very strict as well. She had a great reputation with the teacher as well, best grades in the whole school, good at any sports but she was mostly found of fencing.
"I heard he wears long sleeves and trousers even when playing sports. He even got special permission from the school to alter the uniform for p.e. classes." Gray leaned forward joining the conversation. I finished eating a long time ago, so I was paying attention as well.
"I heard that only Natsu make him turn away, when someone else tries to stop him from bullying or picking a fight, then he just beats them up black and blue!" Lucy said once again and everyone looked at me, did they expect me to have the answer for such odd behaviour?
"What? It's not my fault that he turns away!" I said feeling annoyed, why would he not fight me?
"Maybe you stink." Gray said with a smirk, I quickly put him in an arm lock shuting his smart mouth.
"Maybe he has a thing for Natsu" Everyone looked at Lucy when she said that, speechless, me especially, so she decided to explain a bit more her point. "Well, maybe he bullies people from second year because Natsu is a second year, so he would help his colleagues. And think about it, on the first two weeks no one could stop him so he just helped himself to the poor victim's money and then kicked and punched them till he was satisfied, but on the last two weeks, which Natsu has been running after him, he just toss his victim aside, letting they get away pretty easy. All they really get is a scare." As she finished everyone kept quiet, as if surprised by how much sense that made, even though it sounded very odd.
I let go and fell back into my seat. "So, what you are trying to say is…" Now everyone turned their attention to me, "…is that he wants to become my friend?" Half of my friends fell of their seats and the other half hit theirs head on the table, hard. Funny, they usually only do that when I say something stupid and/or unexpected.
"Yes Natsu, maybe he is trying to reach out for you." Erza said as she got back to her seat, I think I saw her rolling her eyes.
"But then why does he keep running away from me? " I rested my chin on the table as I pouted, damn that stupid Gazille for being so complicated.
"The only one that would be able to answer that would be Gazille himself…" Gray started to say but stopped when he saw me beaming as a smile crept on my face. "What?"
"I know, I'm going to ask him! Yeah, I'll just find him now and…" The bell rang, time for more classes, "Ok, I'll find him after class then!"
"I'm not sure that's a good idea…"I heard Loki saying but I was already dashing to my class as I hummed happily, maybe if I became his friend we would finally be able to fight! Yay!
. . .
After class, Natsu dashed out of the door as soon the bell rang, all of his friends sweat dropped as they watched him go, so positive and innocent. They all started to get their stuff together to leave, slowly, as they wanted the rest of the people to leave the class so they could all share their thoughts, even though they knew that they were thinking pretty much the exactly same thing.
"So, Natsu…" Lucy started.
"You think he…" Gray continued.
"He will be fine!" Erza said fiercely from the door, she always come to their classes as soon as her ends. She was staring at the celling, her eyes narrow as she was focusing on how to punish the pink haired fool later on.
"You think he will get lucky?" Loki said with a big grin and everyone looked at him with wide eyes, except for Erza who just glared at him, but he just laughed it off.
"Get serious, Natsu would never. His first kiss will be probably forced or stolen." Lucy said with a sigh as she walked up to her boyfriend and pulled his ear, he let out many "ow" as his smile turned upside down.
"True that, Natsu is so dense you probably could ask him for a kiss and he would smile and kiss you on the cheek, and if tell him that you like him he would say it back without really understanding what you meant." Gray concluded as they were leaving the class, everyone nodded in agreement as they thought in unison; 'That sounds like out Natsu alright.'
. . .
Geeze, was it just me or did classes take even longer than usual? No matter, now I am on my way to find that grumpy silly man called Gazille, and I say silly because I don't know how a man can be shy about being friends. Although it was partially my fault for not noticing, but I'm sure soon enough we will be friends and able to exchanges punches and kicks like normal friends do. I can't wait! The problem is finding him! I had already covered so much ground of the school and still no sign of him! Why? Is he hiding from me or something? Did he sense me coming for him and decided to play hide and seek? Stupid metal dragon. I looked up at a clock on the wall, it's been almost an hour since I started searching for him, where could he be? Maybe I should just give up for today and go kick Gray's ass, but I'm already tired of defeating him, even though he claims to have never lost to me. Oh wait, who is that? Oh, that's Gazille friend, what's her name again? Argh, It was something with a J….. Julia? Judia? Jeovana? Jarzina? Was that last name even a real name? Oh, right, Juvia! "JUVIA!" I shouted out as I waved to her.
The pale girl looked at me, surprised by the sudden name shouted out I think (probably expecting it was Gray), but quickly smiled as she waved back. She was quite a friendly person, her blue hair was natural and very original, like my pink hair, but it was a bit longer, like shoulder length... and wavy, not spiky. I wish she would hang out more with the rest of us but she is such a busy girl! She is a first year, like Gazille, but she is already the captain of the swimming team, she swins like a mermaid, so she is very popular and has little time between studies and her club responsibilities. If I'm not mistaken her hobbies are swimming, even on her free time, and looking for Gray, I think she wants to befriend him like Gazille wants to befriend me, but she is not shy about it like that damn dragon.
"Hey Juvia, long time no see! I'm glad I met you here" I said, coming to a halt in front of her, with a huge grin.
"Oh, Natsu-senpai, it's good to see you too! Gray-sama is not with you?" She said looking over my shoulders and around me, as if Gray might be hidden in my shadow.
"No, I haven't seen him since class ended actually… Oh, have you seen Gazille?" I asked with eyes as wide as my grin, she looked suspicious for a moment, just a second really, then she rested her index finger on her chin as she looked up, looking thoughtful. She took a couple of minutes to answer, I was feeling very impatient so I kept bouncing up and down without leaving the ground.
"Ok, I'll tell you, but you have to take me to Gray-sama next time we meet! Deal?" She says with a sweet smile, I nodded in agreement, "Last time I saw him he was on the rooftop but…" Before she could say anything I already dashed in the direction of the stairs that led to the roof. I said a quick thanks but I'm not sure if she heard.
I ran up a couple of flight of stairs, not really paying attention to what was ahead of me, but, then again, what could be ahead of me on the stairs? A wall, that's what! Yes, I hit a really tough wall and was sent flying back, falling on my back, but, luckily, I wasn't too far off the ground so I didn't have much of a nasty fall. I sat up scratching my head when it suddenly it hit me, what the hell was a wall doing in the middle of the stairs? I looked up, I had to see what kind of wall someone would build in the middle of the stairs, just to find the punk I was looking for, smirking and scratching his belly like a bug just bumped into him. At first I was angry, how dare he pops up in front of me like that, but then I remember why I was looking for him and stood up with a jump, a huge grin quickly appeared on my face, which I think it kind of scared him cus his smirk faded as he raised an eyebrow.
"What? You don't look like your usual I-want-to-fight-you self." He asked, looking suspicious.
I laughed and he looked more confused, "I know why you keep trying to get my attention!" I said as I crossed my arms, he looked surprised, and was it just me or did his cheek get a bit pink?
"Y-you do?" he asked shyly, why was he so nervous? Was he that shy about being my friend?
"Yeah, you want to become my friend!" As I said that, very energetically I might add, he sweat dropped and facepalmed, which was a bit odd, but I continued on. "It's alright, I don't mind! You don't have to pick on other people to befriend me, now let's fight to celebrate!" I said getting into fighting stance.
He slowly lifted his head from his hand, he had a very serious expression on his face as his eyes connected to mine. I shivered at that, because he was giving me a very powerful glare. He started to walk slowly towards me and, for reasons that I can't really understand, I started to back away just as slow. "You know, for a minute there, I thought you remembered…" I looked puzzled, he noticed that, "But I can tell that you didn't. You completely forgot didn't you?" I swallowed loudly as I hit something hard behind me, I glanced back and noticed it was a wall, a real one this time, I looked back him, our eyes met once more and, once again, I just couldn't look away or even move, why was his stare so powerful? "How can I befriend you when you can't even remember…?" His voice started to fade away as he approached. He was getting closer and closer, but he stopped inches away from me, although his head kept on going forward. My heart was beating like crazy, my breathing was heavy, he was so close but I just couldn't move or turn away. I could feel his hot breath on my lips as he got closer and closer...
"I'm ok…"
"I'll be ok…"
"As long as you are with me…"
"Don't leave me…."
A/N: Ok, so what you people think?
I wanted to write a cute one shot to get my inspiration going, cus it vanished without warning, but it just went in a direction where i had to turn it into chapters...
Ok, so this is a, ever so cliche, high school fic. It's a boarding school, that according to google is a american thing, but they have houses, that according to google it's a english thing, and their high school years only go up to 3, which according to google is a japanese thing. Yes, according to google! xD
And people might ask, why gazille and not gray, he goes so much better with natsu... simple, there are far too many gray and natsu high school fics...and I find gazille sexier =p
So, this fic will be a challenge to me, cus i want it to be cute, not dramatic or erotic(yet), which is something i never managed to do, and, for a change, i want the main character, natsu, to be the one that have the inniciative, cus i always write about the guys going after the mains when the mains are the ones who are the best when it comes to reading peoples feeling xD
Anyway, this fic was written when i was not the slightest insired so it took some work! I wrote it, had a friend check my grammar, then i re-checked it (thank god, the things i write sometimes...) and fixed some sentences and now it's up! And now I re-checked once more and it was still quite fail! I hope it's much better now xD
