Hi, this is my very first fic. I have read a bunch of fics about Natsu and Lucy and I decided to write my own.
This fic was greatly inspired by 'Magic Ball' (anime eps 125). It was my favorite episode and I had watched it for so many times. I wrote this story fully from Natsu's point of view.
Enjoy and don't forget to give some feedback :)
Chapter 1
Thursday
I ran to the request board, hoping to find a suitable job to do before I became penniless. I saw the blue fur cat flying to my direction, handing me a request paper with a weird photograph on it. Velveno, the paper said.
The thing I saw for the first time was the 4.000.000 jewels. And seemed like my favorite stellar mage caught the same thing as suddenly I found her peeking through my shoulder. I couldn't help but agree with Happy that the name of our client was overly sour just to hear.
Well, I just didn't care what kind of job it is, as long as it paid me well, and let me destroy some stuffs along the process. But what came next was just out of my imagination. I never imagined myself to dance.
I spent the whole morning arguing with my favorite blondie about the dancing thing. Screw that, I can't dance! You must've been able to tell that just by looking at my face, don't ya? Then why should I dance anyway?
Lucy was being weird by continously telling me that I had to be able to dance. I proposed the idea of becoming a food-tester instead. I mean, if it was a Ball, there should be a lot of food provided! Right? Lucy argued back that if we wanted to catch this Velveno guy, we had to conceal ourselves within the crowd, and that's why I had to dance.
This girl was weird. How come 'conceal ourselves' correlated with 'dancing'? But then again, my favorite blondie was never far from weirdness zone. I tried to make Happy replace me for the dancing thing. I assured Lucy that Happy might be a better partner for dancing but as I offered the blue cat, Lucy was facepalmed. The said feline told me about height.
Well, I told Happy to just flying at the same height as Lucy while they danced. What's the problem anyway? Lucy's strange behavior was surely contagious.
And that's when Lucy pulled by biggest weakness. She would ban any of my activity revolving her house for the rest of my life if I refused to dance. I stuttered for hearing this, because being banned from her house was just disaster! Where should I harbor myself when I need a good sleep?! I told her I would find any way possible to enter her house.
My favorite stellar mage said she would lock all windows and close the chimney. She's weird. If she closed all windows and chimney, she would die for lack air. I didn't want her to die, so finally I agreed to dance. I let Lucy lead me to the guild's yard, sighing for defeat.
I stood in front of my favorite mage, as she asked for both of my hand, I gave her a poker face, and tried to do as she instructed me to.
Anyway I wonder about the background music. The music was weird. Just like Lucy. And Happy, just recently.
The said weird girl instructed me to follow her count. One. Two. Three. One. Two. Three. The said feline had announced to the guild about my dancing practice, so practically everyone was coming to the yard. Oh well, let's get this over with.
I tried to concentrate and follow Lucy's movement. She said we had to sing and chrome, syng and throne, sync… synchro… oh I got it, 'synchronize'. Hmmm… where did I hear that weird word anyway?
Oh I remember. The ice freak told me about the 'sychronize' thing when he explained to me how he and his stalker-girl performs Unison Raid and banished the lizardmen. Not to mention, he stole the whole spotlight that was supposed to mine! I mean, hey, I am the main character of the story!
I imagined myself perform Unison Raid too. The walking freezer has told me that he and Juvia hold each other hand as if to dance at that time. Hey, maybe I should try this too. Performing a Unison Raid with Lucy.
I was working with my brain to choose which spirit I would like Lucy to summon for my first Unison Raid when suddenly she screamed. I realized that I had stepped on her foot accidentally. I couldn't help but laughed at her face and apologized. I expected her to stop the dancing and shouted at me but she didn't. She looked at me with determined face that let me wonder the exact reason of her wanted me to dance so badly.
Must be some strange reasons after all. It's Lucy we're talking about.
Back to her counting, I tried to erase any stray thought and concentrate on Lucy. Her pouting face was very cute, but I held back my giggle or she would be really mad at me.
Just when I got the hang of it, suddenly the ugly ice box came and snatched my favorite mage from me, saying something about playing. I was about to kick him out of the earth and take Lucy back when the said girl had done them both. I laughed uncontrollably seeing Gray's priceless face when Lucy kicked him out of the yard. She took my hands again with some more determined face and continue my dancing practice.
Well it's not the kick out of the earth but I got my favorite blondie back. I guess it's fine. I would kick him later. Out of the earth.
But anyway, Lucy's pouting face was getting worse when suddenly I heard certain female knight comment at me and Lucy.
We stopped the dance, both looked at Erza with familiar fear. My fear increased tenfold when the scarlet haired mage absentmindedly talked about dancing spirit and asked me to come dance with her. Not to mention about the dancing-demon thing.
I was about to say my objection when Erza snatched me from my favorite blondie and made me dance.
I saw Lucy, then Happy, then Romeo, then Erza, then the guild, then some chicken, then Macao and Wakaba, then Mira, then Kinana, then Lucy, then Happy, then Romeo, then Erza, then I started to feel extremely dizzy.
I screamed out of my head, hoping the fearsome woman to stop swirling me for Mavis's sake. She's killing me!
And suddenly Erza stopped the dance.
I was on my knee, catching my breath. It was not as bad as riding transportation, but I guess I wouldn't be able to live another day if this swirling crazy dance hit me again.
And how Mavis hated me so much, Lisanna offered her help. I just hope that this time she would listen to me but before I speak the whole sentence, I was already swirling to my death.
Yeah, I better be dead.
I heard my childhood friend compliment my relaxed shoulder. The hell?! Lisanna was really the dancing demon number two!
Where's Lucy at the time like this? Why didn't she save me from these dancing demons already?! Luuuuucccyyyyyy….!
a.n. Yep, I only took some scenes. I want to highlight the NatsuXLucy anyway, so how? Is it good? Is it bad? OOC? Tell me everything!
