Lucy POV:
With lunch coming to an end, I put my headphones back in my bag and begin walking back downstairs.

Once down, I start walking to my locker. When I arrive, I reach inside, get my books, close it, and walk to my next class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Now class, this project must be turned in by the end of this week. Remember you must work with a partner, also–" Mr. Justine explains, but got rudely interrupted by the dismissal bell.

"Alright, you all know what to do. Have a good day everyone." Mr. Justine finishes.

As I get up from my seat, Natsu approaches me.

"Hi Lucy! Would you maybe want to be partners?" He asked.

Shocked by his sudden, unexpected question, I unnoticeably stare at him for a bit too long.

"Lucy?" He questions.

As I snap back into reality, I take my notebook and write, "Sure." I give him a smile.

"Alright! I'll wait by the school gate for you; we can walk home together!" Natsu exclaims and walks out of the classroom.

"Did that really just happen?"

That thought only causes my smile to get bigger and cheeks warmer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Lucy!" Natsu shouts.

I give him a quick wave as I walk closer towards him.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

A nod was my reply.

Once we were away from people, Natsu says, "You know you can talk in front of me. I won't judge you, Luce."

I stare at him for a second.

I swear he's blushin– wait Luce?

"Okay." I respond with a smile.

"So, do you want to come over to my house?"

My cheeks heat up.

"Oh uhhh, for the project I mean!" He awkwardly says.

I give a small giggle.

"Sure." I said hoping he didn't see me blushing.

"Alright! My house should be coming up, so we'll be there soon!" Natsu declares.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is it!" Natsu states as he points to a little red house.

We walk up the steps and he unlocks the front door.

"Mom, I'm home!" He announces.

Then a beautiful, middle aged woman with dark blue hair comes out to greet us.

"Welcome home dear, oh!" We have a guest! What's you name dear?" She asked.

"My name is Lucy." I answer.
