Chapter 2: Fights and Feelings

Normal POV

As Lucy rolled the book cart through the aisles, she stacked books on the shelves, making sure they were in alphabetical order. Once the cart was empty, she walked back to the cardboard box full of books and bent down to grab some more. When she got up she nearly jumped out of her skin. Quickly, she put a hand over her heart.

"It's you!" She glared pointedly at the culprit for her heart attack.

"Luigi, right? I was just walking around and I saw this nice ass leaning down, so I thought I'd scope it out. Then I realized it was just you." He sighed sadly.

"My name's Lucy! You sick pervert!"

God, did she have a fever or something?

It's really hot in here.

She feels naked.

So naked, in fact, that she attempts to cover herself with the book she's holding.

What gave that bastard the right to check her out?

"Anyways…I was wondering…" He began to speak, and Lucy leaned near him to listen. "Why are you wearing such skimpy clothing? Are you a stripper in your spare time or something?"

Lucy's cheeks went red in an instant.

Was she having a panic attack, or did the air in the store just disappear?

She couldn't form any words, so Natsu beat her to it. "I'm just gonna go now…" Right as he was turning, the blonde grabbed his wrist, "Wait." She spoke almost breathlessly.

The pink haired boy looked at her in surprise.

He suddenly noticed how gorgeous she was.

She had beautiful brown eyes, silky blonde hair, a nice figure, a huge ra-

"Tell your friend not to be so goddamn stingy with the whipped cream. I paid extra money for that you know."

It was as if the boy before her had been slapped in the face by an invisible hand.

"Come again?"

"Tell your friend to give me more whipped cream." She half-pouted, half-glared him.

"Are you sure you need it?" He almost smirked once he saw her face flare up.

"You asshole! Come back here!" Lucy ran through the shelves, waving the book in the air. Just as she was about to throw it at the back of his head, she tripped.

Damn it all.

"Eek!" The blonde fell forward in what seemed like slow motion, before cringing as she hit the carpeted floor.

But wait-

She didn't hit the carpeted floor.

Carefully, she opened one eye and almost screamed in shock.

"How the hell did you get under me?!"

"You fell on me you dolt." He grunted as his face was pressed against the carpet.

"O-oh, I did?" Lucy began muttering incoherent words as a blush once again adorned her face.

"Could you get off me now fat ass?"

A midst her embarrassment, she never really heard what he said, she just wiggled and scrambled to get off of him. Lucy almost choked when she heard a groan come from him. Whether from pain or pleasure-

Lucy would never know.

It's okay.

She didn't want to find out.

Natsu stood up and stretched. "Are you okay?"

That question made Lucy stumble backwards a bit, "Uh, yeah, I'm fine."

The blonde sighed and mumbled something under her breath.

"What was that Lucy?" Natsu felt a smile tug at the corner of his lips.

"I said thanks." She squeaked.

"Don't mention it. Aside from you falling on me, you're a breath of fresh air to me."

"W-what? Why?" Her eyebrows rose.

She swears the temperature in the store had been turned up.

"It's just the people I hang out with are rough and brutal, but you, you're dainty and weird."

"I am not weird!" Lucy huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, which just accentuated her breasts and made it hard for Natsu not to stare.

"Yeah, you are."

"No, I'm not!"

"See, you're yelling. Only weird people yell."

"I'm not weird, you're weird. For God's sake, you have pink hair!" she gestured towards his hair with her hand.

"It's salmon!"

"No, it's pink."

"I swear it isn't!"

"Your mother lied to you when she told you it was salmon. It's pink."

"You know what?" He jabbed his index finger at the air in front of her face.

"What?" She bit back at him with the same ferocity in her eyes.

"I'm leaving."

"Good, 'cause I never wanted you here."

The air around them became tense.

How could two people who had met only an hour ago already hate each other?

It seemed impossible.

Apparently it wasn't.

The two glared at each other intensely before Natsu left through the front door.

"Bye." She sighed.

Why did she feel empty all of a sudden?

Never in her life had she become so excited so quickly.

And never in her life had she become so deflated so quickly.

What was this feeling?

Whatever it was, it gave her goosebumps.

Was it wrong to say she liked it?

Shaking her head, she picked up the fallen book and began to stack the books again.

Meanwhile, Natsu was having the same conflicted emotions as he helped drag Gray out of the backroom.

Erza sure did do him in.

There was a nagging feeling in the back of his head that made him feel sorry for Gray, but he dismissed it.

Pfft.

He did not feel sympathy for that bastard.

The customers from earlier had just regained their composure and were now on high alert. Every time something moved their eyes immediately darted to the movement.

Natsu finally got Gray out of the café (through the back door of course).

He dumped his limp body on the ground, wiped his hands on his pants, and walked back inside the café.

For some reason, the boy couldn't stop thinking about the blonde he just met. Thoughts of her kept swimming through his head, and he didn't know why. How could someone have such a big impact on him in such a small amount of time? It was almost like when he was with Lisanna- no- he shouldn't be thinking of her. After all, she ran away with the person she really loved…

Natsu couldn't fathom feeling that way again.

He wasn't sure he wanted to.

But feeling this way gave him a rush…

Even though having feelings like this was also dangerous.

Wait a second…

This may seem off topic, but...

Hadn't he always seen a blonde lurking through the college he went to?

He'd just have to prove his theory tomorrow…if he had the chance of seeing her again.

Then it dawned on him.
