Happy Nalu week everyone. For everyone who reads my current story, I apologize for being inactive, But I'm going to be continuing with it Once I finish writing the nalu week stuff. I'll give you guys more info on why I've been inactive once the next chapter of that goes up.
For this one, I decided to do a Nalu week story using Female Natsu because I've only ever seen one story for Nalu week using female Natsu, and that was a one shot not a multi chapter story like this one.
I just think that there should be more female Natsu stories for Nalu week and really in general. I've kinda been really liking female Natsu x Lucy stories since I read one by Doublepasse. You should definitely check out their stories, they're really good.
Anyway, onto the story.
Lucy sighed as she woke up earlier than she wanted to with the sun hitting her eyes. It had been nearly half a year since her boyfriend broke up with her and she still felt like she was in a rut with no motivation. Sure, she liked her job, but she just wasn't motivated as she was before.
Getting up from her cozy bed, the blonde started grabbing clothes for the day before her cell phone rang. Grabbing it, she checked the caller ID before answering it as it was one of her best friends. "Hey Lev, did you need something?" Lucy asked before changing into a t-shirt and a pair of form hugging jeans.
"Yeah. A bunch of us are going to the Blue Pegasus bar tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to come with us." Levy explained over the phone, her voice sounding hopeful.
"I don't know. I still really don't feel like going out and doing stuff." Lucy sighed, knowing her friend must be annoyed at her. She hadn't been able to motivate herself to really do anything outside of working since her ex boyfriend broke up with her.
"Lucy, you've been like this since that jackass broke up with you." Levy sighed before speaking again. "Would you mind opening your door? I'm at your place." Levy spoke, causing the blonde to roll her eyes before walking out of her bedroom to her front door.
"What am I going to do with you and Cana just randomly coming over." Lucy sighed as the blonde allowed the bluenette into her home. "And before you ask, no. I have no damn clue why I've been in such a rut. I shouldn't be after I found out he only wanted to date me so that he could have sex with me." Lucy rolled her eyes as the two took a seat in two of her chairs.
"Lu, have you maybe thought that the reason why all your relationships have failed is because they've all been guys?" Levy started the conversation, earning a deep blush to spread over Lucy's face. "Think about it Lu, you're 22 and had been dating the guy for over a year. Yeah, he shouldn't of broken up with you for something like that, but was there a reason why you said no?"
Lucy sighed as she listened to her friend talk. Levy's words did hold meaning. Every time she dated someone, it just felt wrong, even the simple act of kissing did. It was strange. She had never thought of dating a girl, but as the thought crossed her mind, she felt like she could at least try it. "Fine, I'll go, but I need to get some stuff done beforehand." Lucy remarked, earning a smile from the shorter woman.
"Good. Me and Cana will pick you up at six." Levy smiled before getting up and heading out. "You better be ready." Levy spoke as the door closed behind her.
"Well, lets see if I can figure out what would be a good outfit to wear tonight." Lucy rolled her eyes before walking into her bedroom. She was hungry, but she needed an outfit more since if she didn't do it now, she would wait until the last possible moment and she didn't want that.
"Natsu, you getting up?" Said pinkette groaned as she rolled onto her side and glared at her door where she heard her father's voice from. After a few seconds, she heard her father's footsteps retreating and decided to slowly sit up in bed.
"Damn. I can't wait until I can get back to my place." Natsu sighed as she sat on the side of her bed and moved her hair out of her eyes. "I gotta meet up with Juvia and Erza later." Natsu reminded herself as she walked over to her old dresser and pulled out a loose tank top and a pair shorts that went to her mid thigh.
Once she got dressed, the pinkette headed out of the bedroom and down the stairs to where her parents were talking and eating breakfast. "Morning sweetie. Did you sleep well?" Grandeena asked as Natsu went to make herself some cereal.
"Yeah. I just hope I can go back to my apartment soon. It sucks to not sleep in my normal bed." Natsu yawned as she sat down at the kitchen table. "I probably won't be home until late tonight. After I get done shopping with Juvia and Erza, we're going to go to Erza's before we go to Blue Pegasus." Natsu explained while she quickly ate her breakfast.
"Are you going to change at Erza's then?" Igneel questioned with a risen brow, knowing that his daughter would have to dress nicer than she normally did. "But why are you going there anyway?"
"Levy's Idea. One of her and Cana's friend's has been in a funk since her boyfriend broke up with her just because she wouldn't have sex with him." Natsu rolled her eyes at the thought of a guy doing that to her. "And that's another reason I don't date guys. But a lot of them do avoid me anyway."
"I feel that has more to do with your cousins and brother being overprotective." Grandeena suggested with a faint smile. Natsu sighed at how true her mother's words were. When her uncles and parents were still quite young, their parents all died in a house fire with them escaping. Becuase they didn't have a place to go, Makarov Dreyar adopted them.
Because of that, not only did she have her brother Zeref being over protective, she also had Sting, rogue, Gajeel and Laxus being quite over protective. It wasn't that bad when it was her brother and what their family called the twins were being protective. It was when the calm Gajeel and Laxus started doing it that it got overbearing.
"It's not like it matters. I can take care of myself." Natsu huffed as she finished her meal. "And yes, I know why they do it. I'm just glad they do it with Wendy now too." Natsu smirked as she cleaned out her bowl at the sink in the kitchen.
"We know that, especially after you nearly broke Sting's arm when he snuck up on ya." Igneel remarked as he smirked at his pink haired daughter.
"Yeah, well I should probably go. I don't want to get thrown through a wall for being late." Natsu shuddered as she went into the living room and put on a pair of sandals.
"Have fun." Both her parents said as she headed for the door and yelled a goodbye to them as she headed to her car.
Once inside her car, Natsu let out another yawn. It had been a while since her friends wanted to go to Blue Pegasus and she wasn't going to miss the chance, even if she was going to call out of work the next day. Deciding she'd need a drink on her way to the magnolia mall, the pinkette texted Romeo to prepare her a cup of coffee for her before starting her car and heading out.
Thankfully, it didn't take Natsu that long to get to the mall, even if she had to make a slight detour to grab her drink from Macao's restaurant. Becuase she wasn't late, Erza didn't yell at the pinkette like she normally would. Instead, Erza smiled at the pinkette. "So, what are you thinking of buying for Blue Pegasus tonight?"
"No idea. What I normally wear wouldn't fit for how fancy the place is, but what the workers wear is way too fancy." Natsu explained as the two women nodded her agreement. Blue Pegasus was a very nice club where the workers wore some of the nicest clothes they had ever seen, but thankfully the patrons didn't have to wear super nice clothes. Even still, Natsu and her friends wanted to wear nice clothes when they went, even if they didn't have to.
"What does Natsu think about buying a simple dress and a pair of heels?" Juvia asked, curious look in her eyes. "Juvia thinks it would work well for you." Juvia smiled at the pinkette. After a few seconds of thinking about the suggestion while finishing her coffee, Natsu smiled and nodded.
"That sounds good. Lets try to find a dress that doesn't match my hair this time." Natsu spoke, tossing her coffee cup in a trashcan nearby before the three headed into the mall. As they walked through, Natsu noticed how parents were giving her dirty looks and trying to get kids to not look at her, especially their daughters.
Rolling her eyes as the parents continued to glare and men avoided her, Natsu continued walking, her eyes turning sad for a split second, which her friends took notice of. Both of the girls glared back at the parents, while Natsu just rolled her eyes. It wasn't uncommon for people do do this since since she got her tattoos.
Since the two decided not to say anything, Natsu looked forward, knowing that no matter what anyone said, she always had to keep moving forward, not for her friends and family, but for herself. She was taught at a young age to live with her mistakes and learn from them.
But that also made her more of an optimist since she wouldn't stay angry at herself or be upset for very long. It also helped that she had supportive and helpful friends and family whenever she couldn't get up herself, though that hadn't happened since she had her tattoo for a year. By that point she'd learned to deal with the strange looks with the help of her cousins but mainly Gajeel and Laxus.
"Juvia doesn't understand why people are so rude to Natsu." Juvia spoke, annoyance in her voice as she gave a woman a deathly glare that made her quickly leave the area.
"It doesn't really bother me anymore. At least it's not people being scared of me like they are of Gajeel and Laxus." Natsu remarked with a grin. "People just don't like things they aren't used to." Natsu spoke before noticing they were at the clothing store and quickly headed inside with a grin on her face.
"I've never seen anyone stay as motivated to do things she likes as much as her. Maybe Levy's idea with Lucy will work." Erza mused with a light smile on her face.
"Yes, Natsu is driven more than most, but Juvia thinks that has more to do with her personality than anything." Juvia mused. "Lucy just wants to be happy, but it's been harder for her to be happy than most because of her father." Juvia frowned, knowing how much her friend wanted to be happy.
"Let's just hope something good happens tonight." Erza smiled as they walked into the clothing store to look for Natsu. After going to where the dresses were, they found Natsu looking through them with a curious look in her eyes.
"Has Natsu found anything?" Juvia asked, noticing a dark blue dress that looked like it would fit her. Noticing this, Natsu and Erza both smiled as Natsu continued to look through the dresses.
"Not yet. I'm seeing if I can find a strapless dress, though I do actually need a new pair of heels. My old pair broke when I threw them at Zeref." Natsu explained as she noticed that Erza was now eyeing a few dresses too. "Why don't you guys pick out a dress too? I'm sure Gray and Jellal would like it." Natsu suggested, earning blushes from the girls at what the underlying message was.
"I don't see why not." Erza mused as she looked over a few dresses. Natsu and Juvia nodded as they continued to look through the selection, though they knew with Erza, they would be there for a least a few hours. They both looked at each other, a silent hope that they wouldn't be too long flashing through their eyes that they'd go to Erza's apartment soon.
It was 5:30 as Erza was impatiently tapping her red heeled foot against her kitchen tiled floor as she waited for Natsu to get dressed and ready to meet up with their friends at Blue Pegasus. "Hurry up Natsu! We're going to be Late!" Erza yelled, scaring the bluenette who was sitting in a chair and sipping from a glass of water while texting gray and letting him know that they'd be there shortly.
"You don't need to yell." Natsu grumbled as she came out of Erza's spare bedroom in a strapless orange dress that went down just past her calf. It hugged her in all the right places while being lose enough to where it flowed nicely as she walked. The top of the dress went to around the middle of her chest, showing the tops of her breasts and a small amount of the front while not showing too much. It was also being held in place by an orange sash tied around her middle, the front in a bow.
"So, are we ready?" Erza asked in her new dress, which was an elegant, over the shoulder dress that went down to her ankles. It was a purple dress with a red flower pattern. It hugged her body perfectly as it was tied behind her neck while the sleeves went from her upper arm to her elbow,
"Juvia is ready." The bluenette smiled, wearing a form hugging, dark blue, strapless dress that tied behind her neck and showed a good amount of cleavage. Just like the other two, she was also wearing high heels, though hers were a lighter blue. Natsu's were a bright red that matched her nail polish on her toe and fingernails and Erza's were a black that fit well with her dress.
"If we're too late, I'm blaming you, Erza. You didn't need to take three hours to choose between two dresses." Natsu remarked, grabbing her purse as the trio made their way out of Erza's apartment to Juvia's car, since she didn't drink too much ever and could bring Natsu back to Erza's to get her to her car.
Erza just rolled her eyes, and soon the trio were on their way and within twenty minutes, they were parking at the club. Once they were parked, they got out to see the guys all wearing jeans and plain shirts. "Where's Levy?" Erza asked, unsure why the guys were outside waiting for them.
"Inside with her friend. I Think Levy may have forced her to come." Gray explained as the trio walked up to them. "We should probably get inside before Cana forces alcohol down her throat." Gray rolled his eyes as the group headed inside.
Once inside, the group walked over to where Cana was laughing while a blonde looked to be embarrassed. When Cana waved at the group, the blonde turned and Natsu stopped in her tracks. The blonde was definitely attractive with a red form hugging dress similar to Levy's but it wasn't a strapless dress and was cut lower, showing an ample amount of cleavage while having a slit down the side of the red dress with the dress tying behind her neck. She seemed to be wearing matching heels and pink nail polish on her fingers and toes. For someone who didn't want to be there, she was dressed up.
"You think she's pretty, huh, Cuz?" Gajeel laughed as he pushed forward. When Natsu gave him a glare, Gajeel whispered into her ear. "Careful with her, she's been hurt a lot in her past, if you plan on doing anything with her, she may not be up to anything." Gajeel spoke before walking to the booth where the rest were waiting on the two cousins.
"So, what took you guys so long? I was about to go to Erza's place and grab ya if you guys weren't here soon." Cana spoke as Gajeel and Natsu took their seats at the booth. "I mean you guys look good, but still." Cana sighed as she looked the three over while she was in a regular pair of jeans and a loose tank top.
"It was Erza's fault. She spent nearly three hours deciding between two dresses to buy. Me and Juvia had gotten ours before she had even found two she liked." Natsu sighed as Erza blushed as most laughed at her. Natsu noticed that the blonde wasn't really talking but decided against questioning it, especially when the waitress came to take their orders.
