The Nalu counterpart of my idol!AU! Basically it's Fairy Tail world but all being idols/musicians/actors/etc. Lucy, Erza, Cana, Juvia and Levy are in a idol girls group named Fairyz and Natsu, Gray, Elfman and Gajeel are in rock band called Elements. For those who already know this AU, this is set after Fairyz's 4th album. (I swear, one day I'll do a proper timeline...)
Inspired by the song "In the Air" by Koda Kumi (which is Lucy's MV's song!).
Enjoy!
Is it love?
In the Air
Lucy couldn't grasp what was going on.
It wasn't the first time they'd do collaborations together. It wasn't the first time one would do the lover in the other's music video. So why, for the love of god, why this particular MV had caused a tidal wave of reactions?
For their fourth album, Lucy had written a love song and had decided to record it. Once again, the agency let them do low-budget music videos for all their solos. Since it was low-budget, they did what they always did: use another Fairy Tail Entertainment talent. In this case: Natsu.
And since it was a love song, they had shot a bunch of "lovey-dovey" scenes. Truth was that they had been fooling around for all the shooting. After all, Natsu had been involved. It was just the scene that they walked hand in hand and the fake kiss scene that they had been following the director's orders.
Fake kiss scene that had made Lucy's heartbeat race, but that wasn't as if anyone knew that.
Anyhow, at the minute the preview of the clip went out on their Youtube channel, the fans went crazy over it. As if the rumours of Gajeel and Levy dating were not good enough (even more since those were true) the rumours of Natsu and Lucy's romantic relationship skyrocketed. Then the full MV went out, the fandom exploded.
Fans suddenly dug out all incriminated facts that could prove they were indeed dating. Some were saying it was since the Natsu and Lucy's collaboration song back a year ago that the feeling had bloomed, and other said it had always been there.
Every time Lucy would open her twitter, fan would remind her of this damn fake kiss scene by sending gifs, screen caps and everything else.
They were totally shipping the Natsu and Lucy couple. God knows why.
Worse, the agency LOVED the attention. They were on strict command to not respond about the rumour and even to tease the media about the possibility for it to be true.
Lucy sighed, sinking in her chair. Why was she even on twitter again?
The fans were not letting her go with this.
"Was the song written for Natsu-san?" "How is it to date with Natsu-san?" "Did you sleep together? XD"
Wait what?
Lucy reread the question, making sure. They were indeed asking her about her sex life. She knew the song made allusion of sex but still. She sighed even more.
Another one seemed to have written a essay on how perfect the couple was, even adding bunch of pictures of Natsu and herself.
Lucy caught herself lingering at Natsu's pictures. That long-haired period sure had been hot, she caught herself thinking.
Realizing how bad her thoughts were going, she quickly closed her laptop. There was no way she could focus on anything without a pop-up of something reminding her this MV.
She got up and took a book on her shelf.
Reading could always clean her mind.
Installing herself in the bed, Lucy opened the new book. With all the promos for the album, she didn't had any time to read.
She didn't even had the chance to finish the first chapter that someone bursted her door open.
"Yo!"
Lucy sighed for the nth time.
Natsu didn't wait for a signal from her to plop himself on her bed, just next to her. "What's up?"
"I'm reading."
"I saw that. But that's boring. Come watch something with me."
Lucy rolled her eyes. "It's my first day off since the launch of the album, can I just stay tranquil and read a book?"
"No…?" he dared to answer, smiling this toothy smile of his.
Damn his cuteness. She closed the book and looked at him. A sudden flashback of all the comments she had read came back to her. She blushed and looked away. "What you wanna watch?"
She saw him shrug from the corner of her eyes. "Just not one of your chick flicks."
"You like my chick flicks! You even cried during "The Fault In Our Stars"!" she teased, looking back at him, founding back their usual pace.
"Dude, that movie was too sad, it's an exception!"
She laughed. "Well, we could still watch X-Men. We didn't watch the last one."
"Nah, saw it already."
"What? With who?"
"The guys."
"How dare you! We said we'd watch them all together!"
Natsu gave away a tiny guilty smile. "Sorry. I can re-watch!"
She pouted. "It's fine. We can still try to watch something else."
"Sorry."
"It's fine I said! Don't beat yourself up just for a movie." She smiled. "Let's find something else!"
She took her laptop from the desk and brought it with her on the bed, installing herself next to Natsu.
The first page that pop up was the picture of Natsu she had looked.
"Hey! That's me!" he exclaimed happily. "Why were you checking my past photoshoots?"
Lucy flushed. "I wasn't checking…" She paused. "A fan send it to me."
"Why?"
She gave him an incredulous look. "Don't tell me you haven't heard the rumours about us?"
He blinked, tilted his head trying to remember. "Wakaba did say something like that…"
She rolled her eyes again. "You should be more aware of those kind of things!"
"Why?"
"Because they can affect our career!"
"But from what I see there, the fans seem to enjoy it!" he said, scrolling down the tweets Lucy had received.
"Don't read them!" she shrieked, removing the laptop from his hands.
"Why?" he said yet again, sounding like an annoyed kid.
"Because! It will poison you mind."
"How can it poison my mind?"
Lucy's blush deepen. She didn't respond. "Let's find a movie," she said, trying to change of subject.
"Did you see the MV?"
Lucy almost dropped her computer. She didn't dare to look at her friend.
"Did you?" pressed Natsu.
"No…?"
"Why?" he asked, but this time clearly amused.
She sighed. "I saw the gifs and screen caps and comments! So watching after everyone said something about it, it seemed ten times more embarrassing!"
"It's just us."
Lucy looked at Natsu who was back to his toothy smile.
"Let's watch it before deciding for a movie."
"Now?" she exclaimed. She had already dodge watching it with the girls, she wasn't ready at all to watch it. Even less if it was with Natsu.
"Yeah" he replied, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. He took back the laptop, searching for the MV. "Here, found it."
Before Lucy could say anything, he pressed play, the soft melody starting. She was barely listening to the song, she already knew it by heart. She was only absorbing the images she was seeing.
The couple shoots with Natsu looked terribly genuine. Did she really smile and laugh like that when she was with him? Was she so natural that all her body seemed to always get in sink with his movements and vice-versa?
Then, the fateful kiss scene.
Why did she looked so calm? Why it looked so genuine? Why she had no memories of this? In her memories, she had been nervous and her heartbeat had been so loud.
Then Natsu had told her to calm down, which she did even if her heartbeat was still doing a drum solo. But she didn't remember she had looked at him like that. She didn't remember he was looking at her like that.
The gifs had captured half the emotion, the complete scene was breathtaking.
The MV finished and Lucy stayed silent. She felt as if with a four minutes video all the feelings she had buried for years had showed themselves naturally.
There was no wonder everyone was thinking they were dating. Heck, if it wasn't Natsu and herself, she probably would've had the same thought.
She glanced at Natsu, not daring to actually turn toward him. He was looking at her, toothy smile still in place.
She put down the laptop and shifted a bit closer of Natsu. It wasn't just her feelings that had been exposed in this MV. As to test if it was true, she gave a quick peck on his lips, blushing madly.
He broke into a full grin. "It's overwhelming, right?"
"Why you didn't say anything any earlier?"
He shrugged. "Now or later." He bent down to give another kiss. "But now's good." He kissed her yet again, this posing his head at the base of her back, pushing her into him.
Lucy let herself engulf in the sensation, feeling all her body reacting to his touches.
She didn't know how and when, but it's only when she heard a shriek: "Juvia is sorry to disturb!" with a door slam that she realized she wasn't wearing a shirt anymore.
The Fairyz members were in the living room, some were watching TV and others were on their smartphone.
"Elements' Natsu and Fairyz's Lucy, confirmation that they are dating!" The announcer exclaimed and Lucy quickly removed her attention from her phone. "A bit earlier today, at Elements' press conference for their national tour, the lead singer of the band Natsu confirmed the rumour of his romantic relationship with Lucy from Fairyz! Let's hear his commentary."
A footage started, showing Elements in front of reporters.
"Are you in good relation with Fairyz' Lucy?" asked the reporter while the press conference.
"Yeah, of course!" replied Natsu as if it was the most obvious response in the world.
"Could you say your relation got "better"?" he asked again.
"Well yeah! She lets me sleep in her bed now!"
In the background, you could see Gray face-palm, Elfman looking literally terrorized and Gajeel shaking his head in disbelief.
The footage came back in studio while the announcer and her guests discussed of the footage but Lucy wasn't listening anymore.
"That IDIOT!"
The End.
Hope you liked it!
