Matchmaker - NaLu Fanfic (Fairy Tail)

Wake Up Call

{Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad? My mind keeps saying run as fast as you can}

Wake Up Call

Natsu led Lucy to the door, his hand pressing on her back.

“So I'll see you tomorrow, right?” She asked for the millionth time, her brown orbs searching his bored ones. He resisted the urge to groan, nodding once again.

“Like the last hundred times; yes, you will see me.” Natsu sighed in irritation, wanting to bang his head against a wall.

Lucy smiled sheepishly as she was guided to the front of the building. “Sorry.” She mumbled shyly, looking down in embarrassment. “I just have abandonment issues.” She said under her breath. She didn't really like talking about herself or her 'problems'. She wasn't some attention whore who loved to flounce around her problems, quiet the opposite. She kept everything to herself, and sometimes that was her problem.

Natsu eyed Lucy carefully, surprise glittering in his onyx eyes. He wouldn't delve into her problems if she didn't feel like continuing her statement, knowing first handily how it felt to be abandoned.

He opened the door for her, guiding her out. “Come back at one tomorrow.” Natsu droned, staring at the blonde carefully. Lucy smiled up at him-dare he think it-cutely, her brown orbs twinkling in the street lamps.

She turned around, taking a few steps forward before pausing. She turned back to Natsu and he rose his head, wondering what she forgot.

“Hey Mira?” She called to him. He couldn't help but smile in amusement.

“Yeah?” He replied calmly.

A beautiful smile stretched across her lips, the blonde seemed to glow with gratitude. “Thanks for everything.” She said sincerely before continuing on, not waiting for an answer.

She left Natsu standing at the entrance, stuttering and blushing like a fool.

Lucy woke up before her alarm clock for once, blinking the sleep from her eyes. She yawned quietly, picking herself up from the bed.

Looking over to her alarm clock, she noticed it was seven am! She usually didn't wake up this early on her days off, it usually took till about ten at least.

Shaking the thoughts off, she stretched her tired bones out, hearing them crack in satisfaction.

Well...I have some time to crunch... Lucy thought, wondering what to do. She looked around her small abode, noticing the small figure snoozing on her bed.

“Aw...” Lucy cooed over her small puppy Plue, walking over to stroke his head. She made sure not to wake him up, walking towards the bathroom to freshen up.

She took a quick shower to wake herself up fully, dressing in shorts and a tank top. She walked back into the main room, looking around with a smile.

“Maybe I should clean up?” She mumbled to herself aloud, picking up a few discarded pieces of clothing, throwing them into her laundry basket. She picked up the plates and empty drink cans, walking into her kitchen and throwing them away.

She continued doing this for a good hour or so. When she finally finished, her whole house looking better than before, she walked into her bedroom, sighing.

“What to do now? It's only 8:15..” Lucy whined to herself. Plue jumped up, (he had woken some time ago.) yapping in excitement while he shivered.
