(Lucy's POV)

Juvia took us to a small cottage on the outskirts of Magnolia, deep in the forest where no one will find us.

"Ok, follow Juvia." Juvia ordered. We all got out the car and walked into the wooden house.

"Wow," I exclaimed. "This is beautiful."
"Yeah..." Gray agreed.
"Okay, Juvia will give you a tour now." Juvia smiled, and she began to show us around.

After we pried Natsu away from the fridge, we managed to get upstairs.
"Oh, Juvia forgot to mention," Juvia began. "There's only three bedrooms, so Gray-sama will have to share with Juvia!"

She then ran into what looked like her room, dragging Gray with her.

"Well..." Natsu began. "That was... interesting."
"Let's check out the other rooms." I smiled, opening one of the doors.

Little did I know there was a person lying on the bed. She was beautiful; large brown eyes and long red hair. But what was she doing here?

"Ahh," The mystery girl smiled. "I was waiting for someone to show up."
"E-Erza!?" Natsu yelled. Wait. He knows her!?
"Hello again Natsu." 'Erza' greeted him. "Who's your friend?"

Natsu didn't reply, he just stood there, unresponsive. So I answered for him.
"I'm Lucy Heartfilia." I smiled at her.
"Nice to meet you Lucy." She replied. "Oh, do you know where Juvia is?"

"She's in the other room." I told her, turning around. "I'll go get her for you."
"Thank you." She yelled. "Oh, and by the way, this is my room, so it looks like you'll have to share with Natsu!"

Oh my god. What!?

I slapped my cheeks. Stop blushing! I don't like him! R-right?

(Natsu's POV)

All 5 of us, Me, Luce, Gray, Juvia and Erza, were sat on the sofa in the living room. My right arm was leaning on the back of the sofa, where Luce was sitting. Luce....

I get to share a room with her.

"So," Juvia began. "Why is Erza-san here?"
"I saw what happened on the news at Heartfilia HQ," Erza began. "Someone died there... his name was.. Sting?"

Luce gasped. I looked in her eyes and saw tears threatening to spill. I know she didn't like him really, but if someone I knew had died, I'd be sad too.

"What happened to Mr. Heartfilia?" Gray asked.
"He is alive and in hospital." Erza sighed. "He was stabbed in the back by someone."

"E-excuse me a minute." Luce excused herself and ran upstairs.
"I-I'm sorry..." Erza sighed. "I shouldn't of spoken about her dad so freely, an-" I stood up and interrupted her.
"It's not that." I began.

"Luce was the one that stabbed her dad." Then I ran off after her.

/////////////////////

"Luce?" I knocked on the door of our bedroom, and I heard sobs on the other side. I let myself in, and saw a lump underneath the covers. I crawled in with her and held her in my arms.

"It's okay Luce." I hushed.
"I-I-I didn't kill him." She sobbed. "I feel terrible."

Wait? What!?

"I put him through so much pain, and now he'll go after you again." She explained.
"Don't you worry about that." I smiled, lifting the covers off us.

She looked up at me with her beautiful, chocolate brown eyes. I wiped away her tears with my thumbs and held her face with my hands.

"I-I..." I stuttered for a moment, but then I said it.

"I love you Luce." I smiled. "I understand if you don't feel the same. I mean, I'm a faulty cat, and you're a human, but I-"

I was interrupted.

She kissed me.

I began to kiss back, my hand was on her hip, pulling her closer to me. I brushed her bottom lip with my tongue, and she opened her mouth to let me explore.

"Natsu!? Lucy!? Are you okay!?" I heard Gray shout. Damn him! He always has to ruin everything.
