Author's Note: WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! So I know it has been a hiatus but I promise I have been busy working on this novel. I know everyone was expecting a new Loke/Lucy fanfic, but as stated before, I plan to work or post chapters of that after my birthday! And there was one Natsu/Lucy fanfic I was going to post, but a friend of mine has been busy and we have been both been working on it together. So hopefully when I feel that one was about to be wrapped up, I'll post chapters of that. In the meantime been working on finishing up this fanfic and starting another one to finish before I go to the Loke/Lucy one.
Anyway, my past reviewers have been amazing and I hope you guys like this new one I have written. I actually got the idea of this one out of a dream I had and I realized I wanted to turn it into something more. So I really hope you guys like it and please go easy on reviews. If you don't like something, please use constructive criticism or praise. Anything other than that will not be tolerated and I will simply not post the finished fanfiction. Remember, no one is paying me to write this and no one is certainly paying you to read it. So if you like the magic that I'm weaving, let me know and if you have ideas or want to have me put your artwork as a cover art if this story inspires you, please feel free to PM.
One last note is that where I am living, after I graduated and I moved 18 hours driving, things are little up in the air at the moment. I will try to post every Sunday as I have done in the past and once things are stable for every 10 reviews I get, I'll immediately post another chapter. Until then, just expect a chapter a week. Well anyway, without further adu, please enjoy the story. The song for this particular chapter is "C'mon" by Ke$ha. Enjoy everyone
And You're Looking Just Like My Type
~Chapter One~
All Lucy Heartfilia knew was that her stomach was churning. The light from the morning sun was hurting her eyes from behind the safety of her closed eyelids. Her mouth was severely dry as she had assumed she hadn't drank anything in the past several hours. Memories of last night were a complete blur and even laying still in a bed, everything felt so dizzy. Against her better judgment and the shouting protest of her body to warn her of sitting up and open her eyes, she cautious went against its wishes. Confusion and relief filled her as she looked at familiar surroundings, only to feel the rolling of her stomach. Without a second to spare she was able to drag the can beside her bed and empty the contents of last night into it.
Lucy had found she was back in the safety of her room at the sorority and she couldn't be more grateful to be in a familiar place, considering she had no idea how she even go back there. In her hangover stupor she hadn't even begun to question her messy state of dress, but she had more pressing matters to be concerned about than why her skirt was a little torn and this throbbing, dull ache between her hips.
Weakly she laid back down after switching her mouth out by the bottled water on her desk by the headboard of her bed. All she wanted was to go back to sleep, but the awful smell of her body odor with the smell combination of the trash can beside her threatened to make her start rolling again. The appealing offer of a hot shower gave her just enough convincing to roll out of bed and stumble to her own private bathroom. Catching a glimpse of herself in the bathroom mirror was almost comical. Conflicting emotions of embarrassment and pride battled as she assessed her own damage. She looked like a hot mess with tangled hair, smeared make up, a hanging eyelash, and her dirty, ripped clothes. It must have been one hell of a birthday party.
As she stepped into the warm water she closed her eyes to the bliss of the hot water on her aching muscles. She let out a soft sigh of the water began to wash off the grime and party of last night. As she started to clean herself, her mind began to drift back to what had happened last night. she needed to piece back the pieces of the night together to try to figure out how hard she had partied. Truth be told, Lucy wasn't must of a crazy party person, but that didn't mean that when she did decide to let out the animal for the night that she couldn't keep up with the seasoned ones. Of course letting the animal out left dire consequences such as the situation she was finding herself in at the moment. She liked to have a fun time and be able to remember it the next day.
Last night was a special invite to one of the most popular fraternities on campus. So it was mandatory that every girl in her sorority attend. Apparently it was a birthday party for one of the more prominent members. Although Lucy knew the reason of why she was at the party, she really tried to remember what had happened. All she could really recall was arriving with her housemates and drinking with the two in the house that were somewhat friendly with her. It was no secret that there were many in her close knit circle of 'sisters' that many were jealous of her for either her looks, background, or simply her personality. Lucy wasn't unkind, but she certainly wasn't a pushover as she had, on more than one occasion, voiced her disapproval when a girl was being mean to a pledge or one thought boys were just a 'game' to use against another girl in the house.
This didn't make her popular, but Lucy didn't really seem to care. This was her late Mother's sorority when she was attending this college and her Father had made plenty of donations over the years to it. In short, Lucy was a legacy who came from money and the sorority was one of the best reputations with infamous and influential alumni. Lucy, against much to her own personal wishes, was sent by her Father to attend and live in the same sorority as well the college both her parents went to and fell in love in.
However, going back to last night's events she had remembered that she was drinking with the girls last night and a fuzzy flash of a boy tried to resurface in her mind. She couldn't recall his name or much of what he looked like. The only really thing she could grasp in her memory of this boy was those determined eyes and an unique scarf he adorned around his neck. They drank and she remembered laughing with him. He was quite silly and his voice was something comforting about it.
Lucy shut off the water and wrapped herself in a towel as she exited the shower. Going over to the cabinet she grabbed a couple aspirin and decided that last night wasn't something to be too concerned with considering her housemates probably carried her back home. Although she wouldn't have minded if she got the person's name. From what little else she could remember, he seemed to be a pretty fun guy and Lucy didn't mind actually finding a friend at this school. After two years attending, it would be nice to make a friend and actually make some fun memories. After dressing, she went to look at her phone to see if there was possibly any clues about last night such as pictures or even texts. If she was lucky she may even find a new contact added to her short list. Before she could unslide the lock on her phone, the ringer on it went off. Looking at the screen she saw a cute picture of the man she saw in her fuzzy memories that was holding his arm around her as he snapped the picture together with her. The name above the picture entitled Your Dragon lit above it.
Surprised and now extremely nervous, Lucy mustered up her courage to answer it. "H-Hello?" she asked.
"Uh hey, is this My Princess?" came the awkward familiar voice on the other end. Lucy had to double take looking at her phone for a few moments before she regained her courage again.
"Um yes, so then are you My Dragon?" she replied. She had to stifle a giggle as she felt him have practically the same reaction as her just a moment ago. Then she heard him clear his throat.
"Heh, yeah I guess that makes sense. So I was going to grab some coffee...and you seemed really nice..." he was trailing off. Lucy couldn't help but find him quite endearing.
"You know that park by the main fountain?" she threw him a lifeline.
"Oh yeah!" he sounded excited.
"Bring the coffee and I'll see you there in about twenty minutes?" Lucy mentally pat herself on her back for her making plans for once.
"Sure! What kind of coffee do you like?"
"Hmmm, how about you surprise me and if I like it, I might just kiss you?" Lucy teased. There was a moment of silence and already Lucy began to regret the flirtatious phrase from leaving her mouth. As she was about to apologize she swore she could see the smile on the mystery man's face as she replied, "Challenge accepted. See you in twenty." as the phone call abruptly ended. Lucy could only blink a few times before she just realized what had just happened and then the crash of nervousness and butterflies followed suit.
After changing her outfit three times and looking over herself one last time for good measure, Lucy left and found herself sitting on the edge of the large fountain in the park she was supposed to meet her dragon. She was picking at her nails with her legs crossed as she sat out under the afternoon sun. She couldn't contain her nervousness as she felt the butterflies, but there was also boredom as he was going on ten minutes late from the time they agreed on. She was suddenly brought out of her sullen thoughts of him standing her up by a shadow casting over her. She looked up to see a salmon haired man with the most infectious grin on his face while holding up two full trays of coffees.
"Hey Princess, I'm Natsu, your dragon." he grinned. It took a few moments for Lucy to register what was happening until her expression softened.
"Hi Natsu, I'm Lucy, and it is awesome to see you again."
