Pink
They called him pink.
Lucy's hunky-wunky, as Levy deemed it, Pink.
His name probably wasn't actually pink, but that's all the band's Fandom (deemed 'dragon slayers') had to go by, even if it sounded lame and simple.
The band was absolutely amazing- playing anything from songs like their most recent song on the album Eclipse, Strike Back, to the first song she ever heard from Dragon's Roar, Merry-Go-Round, track 4 on their first album 'Phantom'. They were Licensed by the same producer of the bands "Celestial Impact", "Taking over!", and even the adorable couple duo, "Liquid Ice"... Fairy Tail.
The band consisted of:
Laxus Dreyar, the oldest in the band, and the bassist. He was the 'dark, electrifying' one that took girls by storm, with his lightning colored hair and the scar decorating his face. He was deemed the 'Lightning Dragon' and his fans went by Lightning Dragon Slayers.
Gajeel Redfox, the Drummer. Gajeel was known to be the scary, Iron-tough one. He had jet black, long and spiky hair. Above his eyebrows and also adorning the sides of his nose were piercings he claimed were actually not piercings but rather iron nails. Not that many people believed that... (Lucy headcanoned he was secretly the cinnamon roll of the band and had an obsession with a cat.) He was the Iron Dragon, and his fans were named correspondingly as Iron Dragon Slayers.
Wendy Marvel, the noticeable cinnamon roll who probably shouldn't be hanging out with people like the rest of her band. She had long blue hair that reminded Lucy of a friend, and played the Keyboard, or sometimes piano on more serious songs, like many of the songs in the Tenrou album, and her personal favorite of the album, Towa No Kizuna, which wasn't solemn like some but it certainly sounded better on piano than keyboard, for some reason. Her eyes were a warm brown much like her own, and she was called both the Sky Maiden and the Sky Dragon, and her fans were the Sky Dragon Slayers.
And not quite last were the Twin Dragons, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney. Referred to as the Shadow Dragon and the White Dragon, they're known to defend each other in the hilarious arguments the Group had. They're fans were generally grouped together as Twin Dragon Slayers, but they had respective nicknames as well. The Twin Dragon's both played electric guitar and sang.
And last, but not least, no, definitely not least, was Pink, the lead singer. From what Lucy had deduced, he was about 5'9", Liked Spicy Food, Had an odd cat, liked his marshmallows completely roasted, only wore flip-flops, and was tan. But, she didn't know what he really looked like, because he never showed his face, not even once. He always covered himself with a pink hoodie and a dragon mask, which earned him the title pink. She had spent hours searching and looking up attributes to find out the male's identity, but it was no good. He talked and acted like any other member of the band-heck, he always stared fights with them too, apparently even his manager Cobra!- But absolutely wouldn't allow his identity out. If you asked at an interview or something, he would say something about himself instead. A hint of sorts. She had a whole entire notebook full of every hint ever. His birthday was June 21st, he liked his hot chocolate shaken, not stirred, and things like that. He was called the Fire Dragon and was the reason Lucy's bed was decorated with a flaming comforter and a fireball pillow with the words "Fire Dragon Slayer" on it. Her walls were covered in posters and photos of the band and other Fairy Tail bands. Most people thought it was absolutely terrifying, but Lucy didn't care. She loved the band to an almost unhealthy level. She loved the band almost as much as she loved Plue and her family and friends, but not as much of course.
If only she wasn't so broke. She would be able to go to the shows sometimes, she lived in the capitol, Crocus, and they played there atleast once every tour, and multiple times a year. They were even playing in town in a few days.
"Yo, Luce!" A voice jumped her out of her thoughts, and her best friend since 2nd Grade plopped down onto her bed with a grin.
"NATSU!" She tackled the male into a tight hug.
"Wait... How did you get in? Natsu, I swear if you broke my door!" The blonde threatened dangerously, glaring at the pink haired male
"No! Nope n-no m-m'am! I took the window like always, n-no broken door... M'am!" He stuttered out fearfully, flinching away from her burning gaze.
"Ah well, I suppose I'll let you off easy this time." Lucy hit him with her Fireball Pillow multiple times, ignoring the cries of protests scrambling from his lips.
"So, you're back in town... For how long?" She questioned. Natsu was her unrivaled best friend, and she had been devastated to discover his job was sending him this way and that. They Skyped nearly every other day, though, and kept each other updated. Natsu never had much going on, and she still wasn't sure very much about what his occupation actually was, but she figured that since he refused to tell her, that he would tell her when he was ready.
"For about a week, actually! They were pretty generous with the time they gave me, this week. Although I have business to attend to in town, too. But hey, I have a present for you! Remember how I was in magnolia that week when Dragon's Roar played?" The blondes heart stopped. Yes, yes she remembered whining to him about how she needed to go and see her beloved Pink with her own two eyes, and he just burst out laughing and called her hopeless. He had always accepted her declarations of love towards Pink and the band, and he was even really happy about it, for some odd reason!
"Of course I do! You taunted me about it too! 'Haha, guess who is within a mile of Hotshot! Ohoho! I'll be sure to bottle up the air nearby, maybe he breathed in some of it!' " She had glared at Natsu for his teasings, her cheeks bright with a blush, but didn't argue. That was probably how she'd react, and they both knew it. Now, since she could touch him, she lightly punched his arm.
Natsu just laughed and reached down to his bag on the ground, Lazily trying not to move much from his seat opposite to her, comfortably on an edge of her flamed bed. He pulled the bag up and plopped it between them.
"Thank me later. Or now. Just, don't like, make out with your present or something okay? Save that for when I leave, please. Lucy raised an eyebrow quizzicaly with a nod, but Natsu just reached into his bag and pulled out a hoodie.
A pink hoodie.
"A hoodie?" Lucy questioned, obviously not getting the hint.
"It's that one dude's hoodie, signed and everything! The pain I went through for you, Lucy. But... That guys actually pretty chill. Just wanted him to like, sign my hand or something so I could brag to you, but when I mentioned it was for bragging rights to a female friend he asked me a few things about you, and ran off. He came back in a hoodie still, of course, and handed me this, tellin' me braggin' to a lady ain't right. He's a keeper, Luce."
Lucy just stared at him blankly, as if her brain could simply not fuction. After all, this had to happen with plenty of other girls and how the heck did he...? Natsu just rolled his eyes with an excited grin and held it out for her to see the large signature adorning it.
That doesn't just happen. Something was up but Lucy was too ecstatic to care about that, or the fact that he referred to Natsu as her Boyfriend. (even if she liked him... she only liked him a little, so it was no biggie!) She regretted saying she'd wait to make out with her present. Sigh, many regrets. "Natsu..."
Said male looked at her hopefully. Would she be as impressed as he tho-
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
A glass shattering scream sounded out through the building, and Natsu had the wind knocked out of him as he was tackled to the ground with a pair of strawberry tasting lips crashed onto his and arms threw themselves around his muscular frame. The male immediately responded and kissed her back, albeit in complete shock.
All of a sudden Lucy seemed to realize what she'd done and ripped away. Her face was as red as the fire decorating her bed and pillows.
"I'm really really really sorry! Oh my god! I was just so thankful and I just-"
"S'okay. Don't worry, I gotcha." He grinned. "After all, I could never compare to Hotshot, could I?"
"Hey! You're way more important than some person who probably doesn't even know my existence! I would choose you over him, silly!" She puffed her cheeks out and crossed her arms. Sheesh, fangirl as she may be, she thought it was obvious her friends and family would always mean much more.
She then realized she was still straddling him, and her face flamed even further and she shot off of him and plopped down onto her comfortable bed.
"Is it okay then?" He asked assertively, his eyes, sharp and dark, staring into her's passionately.
"Is what okay?" She intertwined her hands together, something she often did in confusion or shock.
"Is it okay if I'm the one who asks you out and not him?" His eyes searched hers, which were wide with shock. His own were filled with hope and a little... nervousness? Lucy always expected him to only ask someone out with full confidence.
Lucy nearly shot off of the bed and pounced on him again but she controlled her breathing this time. "Yes." She said simply, hoping her point got across, because if she had tried to say exactly how happy she was she would have pounced.
It turned out she didn't have to worry about pouncing because it was Natsu who took action.
For the second time in less than 5 minutes the two passionately locked lips, his hot and dry, hers sweet and soft.
Natsu's arms were firmly around her, and if she wanted to escape she wouldn't have even been able to. Not that she wanted too... She was really enjoying his Burnt Marshmallow taste.
It was forever before they pulled apart. Lucy always viewed Natsu as dense when it came to things and he always said kissing seemed dumb. After all, why would you 'drink someone else's spit'? She was wrong, though, Natsu wasn't dense or dumb about love though, Lucy realized, when he buried his head into her hair and softly, yet breathlessly told her just how much he loved her. She thought she might melt and when he pulled back and coughed to get her attention, she melted at the look in his eyes.
"You're all mine now! No more reading 'Reader x Pink lemons'! Whatever lemons are... I know ya read'm. I just gotta research what they are! We could read one together so I find out, actually... Hmm..." The male pondered.
"Eep! No! No research, no reading sessions! I won't read lemons anymore but I shan't stop the fluff!" Lucy glared at him seriously, and Natsu fearfully nodded. Sweat beaded down his forehead at her glare. "Yes'm!"
"Good. Now retrieve for me the hoodie. I wish to inhale it's scent and cherish it forever and build it a shrine." Natsu just puffed his lips out at the blonde's laziness- she was just as close! - but nonetheless grabbed the pink hoodie and handed it to the female, who promptly slipped it over herself.
It fit her about the same way Natsu's flame hoodie fit her. She constantly used to steal that one because it was flamed, and reminded her of the Fire Dragon.
She sniffed the hoodie. "So this is what he smells like." Lucy looked up to meet Natsu's gaze. "And you're sure I can't make out with it?" She asked innocently, to tick him off.
"Of course not! Especially not now! You wanna make out with something, you'll just have to settle with me! Or else!" He roared possesively. Lucy replied with an eye roll and a sound of agreement, before doing just that.
Cause she really, really loved him.
Much cheesy, so lame x'D I had to write something because it's NaLu week soon! I can't remember when exactly but it was around this time last year and I think it's the same dates? Idk haha. This one is actually a twoshot, the next chapter will be centered around Natsu's thoughts instead of lucy's. Excuse the lame pink, this was originally just an oc headcanon but I had to write the name the same as it was in my headcanon, or it wouldn't have felt right ;) I'll update I ship you someday, I won't just drop it, but I don't really like the old writing in that story and I literally forgot the plot? Sigh, I'll figure it out sometime x'D. See you in the conclusion next chapter, okaaays? ;3 also, to clear something up, Natsu and Lucy are very close friends and have built up a sort of romantically tension. So it may seem like it was a random confession but really natsu getting pink's hoodie for lucy was just enough of a snap to all that tension for it all to unleash :).
