I DON"T OWN FT!

Chapter 8:-

Lucy took her jacket and wore it then dashed out the house; she has to buy a gift for him as fast as possible!

Lucy walked the street in the cold weather looking for something, but nothing came to mind.

Lucy got her phone out and called for Cana, "Hello,"

"Yo Lucy, whatsup'?" Cana greeted casually from the other line.

"Hi Cana, I just need a favor…" Lucy mumbled shyly.

"Go ahead," Cana replied.

"Want you to come with me out to find a gift for Natsu since his birthday is tomorrow" Lucy said and Cana chuckled.

"Sure thing, actually, Erza and Levy are out to buy gift already" Cana said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lucy frowned.

"Well, no harm now, let's go!" Cana shut the phone.

"I didn't tell her where to meet…" Lucy mumbled as she wrote a message to Cana telling her where to find her.

Lucy walked the street looking at the stores, nothing grabbed her attention, there was nothing special to give him; she sighed as she sat in a café that Cana will come to.

"Yo Lucy!" Cana grinned as she waved her hand and Lucy smiled at her as she waved to her too.

Cana sat opposite of her, "So, found anything?" Cana asked and Lucy frowned and shook her head.

"Nothing at all," Lucy sighed.

"Don't worry; by the way, is it okay for you to walk with your feet?" Cana asked her worriedly, and Lucy smiled and waved her hands.

"It is okay as long as I don't run and hurt them," Lucy reassured her.

Cana smiled as she got up, "Let's go then, we have to find the best gift ever!" Cana threw a fist in the air.

Two hours later,

"I can't believe these whole shops don't have a single damned good gift!" Cana said really frustrated.

"What am I going to give him?" Lucy said in depression as she sulked down.

"By the way Cana, what are you going to give him?" Lucy asked her brunette friend.

"Well, I brought him a sake!" she said cheerfully and Lucy really wanted to face-palm, but that was Cana we are talking about, she smiled as she looked to the shop that she passed by, it immediately grabbed her attention, she came back and Cana followed confused at her friend.

She looked at the shop that Lucy got in, it was for motorcycles, 'I see' Cana smirked.

"Woah they are so cool," Lucy looked with sparkling eyes at all the motorcycles' accessories, they were so damn amazing, and there was a section for B-boys' stuff.

"I think Natsu will like this since he has a motorcycle that he always rides." Lucy told Cana.

Lucy looked at the helmets; she smiled sadly at the memories with her and the old Natsu.

"Hop on!" Natsu threw her a helmet that she managed to catch.

"No way! I'm not gonna' ride this dangerous thing!" Lucy protest as she held the helmet to her chest.

"Not gonna' trust me?" he asked her as he offered a hand for her with a sweet smile on his face.

Lucy blushed as she looked at his gloved hand; she took his hand with hesitation as she walked to him.

Natsu looked down at her as he took the helmet in her hand, he bent down and gave her a kiss on the lips before putting it on her head, of course the girl was beat red.

Natsu helped her to jump on it and sat behind him.

"Hold tight," he said as he flipped the switch that made a scary noise for her.

Lucy immediately held tight around his waist, Natsu smirked as he drove in full speed in the night through the streets.

And sure the ride wasn't bad at all with him that close to her.

That was after they started dating in two months. It was an amazing memory to remember.

"Lucy, Lucy can you hear me~~" Cana waved her hand in front of Lucy's face, who was spacing out.

"Huh? Yeah… sorry" Lucy smiled weakly.

Lucy ended up buying a black helmet with dark red laced lines and a fire drowned on it, it was so cool, and bought a rings, a black once with thin red lines on them, they were so classy.

It was already down when Lucy's feet started to hurt.

Lucy and Cana arrived at Lucy's apartment and got in, soon after Cana left and Lucy felt so tired so she went to sleep.

The next day, Lucy got a call telling her to go to Erza's apartment that there Natsu's birthday party would be held.

Lucy went there after getting ready and wearing a beautiful white dress with long red boots and red scarf with her hair down, she looked so adorable.

The first she got in she saw the mess and noises. There was a loud music playing and a disco lights hanging on the roof, a lot of balloons in different shapes and colors and a big 'happy birthday' written on the wall in bright colors.

"Hi Lucy," Erza greeted as she passed by Lucy; carrying boxes in her arms.

"Oh, Lucy arrived!" Cana shouted letting all knows she is here. Lucy closed the door and got in.

"Any help?" Lucy asked Levy who was arranging the table.

"Gray, throw the garbage out please," Juvia ordered as she came with a set of dished and putted them on the table, "Hi Lucy," she smiled and Lucy greeted back.

"Why do I have to do this for that bastard birthday?" Gray cursed as he got out with three bags of garbage.

"You are his friend that is why." Jellal said as he sat down on a couch, blowing balloons.

"And by the way this job a girl should do," Jellal looked at all the balloons he has to get them as fat as possible.

"Talk about yourself, look at me." Gajeel said in a pissed off tone as he kept on washing the dishes.

"We can't do the entire job alone that's why!" Levy shouted at them.

"Hurry up; Natsu will be here in ten minutes!" Erza said as she just closed a phone from Natsu telling her he would be here in ten minutes.

Lucy can see the place go on rampage, Jellal blowing balloons really fast, Gajeel getting the fruits on the table, Cana bringing the wine and beer on the table, Juvia and Levy arranging the gifts together, Erza choosing the song to play and lastly, Gray brought the cake and putted it on the table besides all the food and pizza, sweets and drinks.

Erza kept the door slightly open so Natsu can get in; they stood like 'Erza-Jellal-Cana-Lucy-Juvia-Gray -Levy-Gajeel'

Each one of them held two balloons written on it 'happy birthday' only Lucy who was in the middle held a red one with heart shape and love on it.

Before Lucy could protest the door opened and the music played.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they shouted in unison with grins, laughs giggles and chuckles.

Natsu's shocked and surprised expression was priceless; it was a big success for them. Erza grabbed Natsu and putted him in the middle besides Lucy and put the camera on self-timer.

She ran to her place, Cana shook a bottle of beer than opened it making it burst, surprised, Levy grabbed Gajeels's arm, Juvia jumped on Gray who gladly accepted her in his arms, Jellal putted his arm around Erza making her blush and look at him nervously, Lucy between all the mess, held Natsu's arm who looked surprised at her, she turned to the camera and grinned and the photo been taken with only Lucy between the mess looking at it.

The party was pretty much amazing with all the fun, they danced together with the music and disco lights, Natsu sliced the cake, Cana got them drunk and they took a bunch of photos, Cana gave the sake as a present for Natsu, Gray got him a ball, Gajeel a hat, Juvia a wristwatch, Levy a book, Erza an album with lots of photos together and Jellal a shirt with their best football team.

Lastly it was Lucy, she offered him his present, and she looked nervously as he started ripping the covers, he opened the box to see the helmet and the rings, and he has to admit that it is pretty much was to his liking.

He smiled and looked up at her, "Thanks, I like it" he said and didn't know how much these words meant to her, she blushed slightly and smiled.

"Thanks god, I was so afraid that you wouldn't like it" she sighed in relief.

The party ended up by ten at night, by the time all of them were drunk, Natsu wasn't that much drunk since the doctor forbidden him from drinking and Lucy ended up with only juices.

"Natsu~~~ take care of Lucy!" Erza said drunkenly with threatening tone as she fell back on Jellal's lap, who found the drunkenness a chance to make out with her.

Juvia and Gray already left and god know what are they gonna' do with their drunkenness.

Cana was now lying on the couch with a smug face and bottle of beer in her hand.

Levy and Gajeel took Erza's room to sleep since Gajeel can't drive now.

"So we are the only survivors…" Lucy sweat dropped at the view in front of her, her eyes rested on Erza and Jellal and immediately blushed to see Jellal taking off Erza's shirt, but was surprised at the warm hand that covered her eyes and the other that turned her around, she blushed as Natsu lift his hand, she looked up at him and couldn't help blush more at the relaxed look on his face, his black onyx eyes, hot features, she really wanted to kiss him, she wanted to say that she loved him a lot, but couldn't, she looked down as Natsu walked and she followed in silence.

Natsu couldn't drive his motorcycle since he felt a little dizzy so he left it by Erza's apartment.

They took a taxi and arrived by their apartment in silent.

'I really want to tell him how I love him… it is his birthday…' Lucy frowned as she looked at her feet and walked to her apartment opposite of Natsu's, Natsu waited for her to get in first before getting in too.

Lucy sat on her bed, tears falling on her hands, she felt so frustrated, and so raged inside; she wants him to acknowledge her offers, her hard working.

'It is his birthday, I need to tell him!' Lucy wore her jacket and dashed out of her apartment, running on her feet, she fell halfway with her knees in so much pain, but she has to tell him, she forced herself to stand up and ran again, all for her love, for him.

With Natsu.

Natsu sat on his bed with blank expressions, then a sad look drowned on his face, he will leave, and tomorrow… his father called, telling him that he will get him back, at first he refused, but his little sister Wendy on the verge of death, he didn't see her in years and he sure missed her a lot, he don't want her to leave him, she was the only one in his family that he loves, but on top of that his father has arranged a marriage for him and Lisanna, he should be happy, he loves Lisanna right? He wanted her so badly that it was the reason behind his running out of his house, well, 'palace'

That day he asked his family to marry her, but his parents refused, telling him that they already choose a girl for him that leaded to an argument and not like the normal once it ended up with a hell of a fight and him running from home and leaving Lisanna.

But right now, he should be happy, but why was he feeling that uneasy, 'Don't tell me because I don't want to leave Lucy… impossible! I can't love her! I hate her! I despite her, I don't want her…. The heck with these feelings!' Natsu raffled his pink messy hair in frustration.

I have to get ready for tomorrow; I don't think that I would be taking anything from here, maybe some clothes… and her gift.

Suddenly Natsu's door been ringing, he looked at the clock, it is almost midnight, he walked to the door and opened it to see Lucy panting heavily with a pained look, she immediately fell to her knees, Natsu as a reaction, caught her before she falls, "I can't stand anymore…" she breathed out forcing a reassuring smile that Natsu didn't buy.

"The doctor said that you can't ran so why you did!?" he shouted angrily at her, Lucy looked with shakily wide eyes at him, 'Is he concerned about me?'

Lucy smiled softly that caught Natsu off guard and blushed slightly at her closeness.

"You truly care… thank you…" Lucy whispered and Natsu looked to the side.

"Not really." He replied rudely making Lucy giggle.

"So why did you come here and even running?" he raised an eye brow at her.

"I came to tell you my feelings, Natsu Dragneel, I really, truly and surely love you, even if you changed that doesn't matter, I will always love you." Lucy said and Natsu's eyes softened for a moment but got back to its stern look just as it came.

"Not yet, I still don't love you, I would say that I can accept you as a friend but as a girlfriend, sorry I can't" he said coldly as he picked her on his back.

Lucy was silent for the whole walk to her apartment, only a light sobs and few tears that fell on Natsu's neck and shoulder.

Natsu felt the guilt eating him up and a sincere sad look showed in his eyes.

He left her on her bed and walked away not looking back at her.

'I love you too, but it is too late, because I'm leaving Luce…'

After an hour, Lucy heard a knock on the door; she looked up at it with buffy red eyes.

'Natsu?' Lucy walked with shaky steps to the door and opened it to be immediately hugged by a blonde teenager.

He hugged her really tight and pushed her close to him. Lucy was standing stunned with her brain not cooperating with her.

"I came to get you back, I missed you a lot sister!"

'Huh?'
