Unlimited chapter 1: Burgers & Blondes.
X
Edit 1: Overwatch is fun, and I probably enjoyed implementing it into this story a little too much.
Edit 2: This is the first chapter of my new one-shot collection. It will focus on NaLu, as they are my OTP, and Lucy is my favorite character, so be prepared for a lot of bias.
Edit 3: I know college AU fics have pretty much been beaten to death at this point, but I enjoy writing them, idk why.
Edit 4: I might upgrade the rating to M for future chapters, but I'm undecided.
Edit 5: I know I wrote 'Diva' and that's not how you correctly spell her name, but for some reason, the system wouldn't let me so I had to change it to that.

Natsu Dragneel figured he should probably get his shit together soon.
He first came to that conclusion several hours ago, when his lazy ass decided to wake up around noon. Normally that wouldn't have mattered much, except for the fact he overslept this morning, somehow managing to hit the snooze button three times in a row. Originally, Natsu had planned on going to the gym bright and early to pump some serious iron (and look cool while doing it, might he add), have a quick shower, grab a bite to eat in the canteen, then return to his dorm to work on that dreaded term paper he'd been trying to avoid.
However, instead of being productive and responsible, the pink-haired male thought it would be a better idea to stay indoors, play Overwatch, and eat three family-sized bags of Cheetos for breakfast.
Checking the time on his phone, he winced slightly when the glowing white numbers read 19:30. It was kinda late to start anything now...
Well, there was always tomorrow, he reasoned with himself. Besides, today was Sunday. God intended this day to rest, so rest he shall!
Still wearing the same boxer-shorts he'd had on since yesterday, the olive-skinned male was sprawled out on his bed, heavily invested in his sixth game of competitive with Gray and Gajeel. His green eyes were narrowed, focused on the brightly lit television screen in front of him, which was currently the only source of light within the darkened room. Cursing to himself, as his Soldier 76 character had just been eliminated by the enemy Genji, he waited impatiently to re-spawn.
"Fuck! No! No! Kill the fucking Mercy, she's coming in for a rez!" Natsu yelled down his headset, gripping his Xbox controller tightly.
"...Got her!" Gajeel called out, "That bitch isn't going to undo my fucking team wipe."
"Nice one, dude," Gray praised, "Unlike Natsu. Motherfucker's a hit-scan but can't aim for shit."
"I can aim, assface," Natsu hissed, opening up the medals tab, "I have gold kills, what do you have?"
"Uhh, gold everything else?" the condescending tone in his voice was hard to miss.
"Whatever, you're still a faggot."
"And you still suck at this game."
"Suck my fat, hairy dong, squinty-eyes."
"Okay, I'm the fag, yet you're asking me to suck you off?"
"Can you girls shut the hell up?" Gajeel interjected, as his character, Tracer, darted around the enemy team, "Stick with the payload goddamnit!"
After an intense battle, Natsu's team had finally managed to push the payload to the second point in record time, causing the enemy team (or what was left of them) to retreat back to base. The three boys cheered, congratulating themselves on their efforts. Now, all they had to do was push the payload to the final checkpoint in under three minutes. If they won this match, Natsu would finally have enough skill rating to make it into diamond, and maybe then, Gray would shut the fuck up about being better than him.
It's not as if he's carrying me or anything, Natsu lied to himself.
As the payload began to move, Gajeel sprinted ahead, hoping to secure a few easy kills. Natsu lingered behind, making sure no one snuck around the back, while Gray, who was playing as Mei, ran straight ahead and used his ice wall to block the enemy Roadhog's incoming hook.
"Okay, I have my ult, what about you guys?" he asked as he scouted the area.
"Mines is at seventy-six," Gajeel answered while taking out an unsuspecting healer in the back line.
Satisfied that nobody was behind them, Natsu instructed his character to run to where Gray was.
"I'm at eighty-one. I'm gonna take the high ground and get a few pop shots."
As he dashed upstairs, the payload approached the final choke-point. The enemy team was huddled together outside their spawn, attempting to stop Natsu's team from advancing. Gajeel was darting around behind them, which distracted them long enough for Gray to activate his ultimate. His little sidekick Snowball flew into the air and began to freeze them all in place. Taking advantage of their vulnerable position, Natsu, who was standing on a platform adjacent the enemy team, activated his tactical visor and began mowing them all down.
"Haha, take this motherfucker!" he yelled triumphantly, making sure to kill the Genji first.
Gray kept firing icicles at Diva, eventually breaking her mech.
"Baby Diva! Shoot her down!"
Responding to Gray's callout, Natsu took aim at the now exposed Diva, who was quickly taken out after a couple of shots. Gajeel threw his Pulse Bomb on Zenyatta, who happened to be standing right next to Mccree. Seeing as they were both still frozen, Gajeel took the opportunity to mock them by having Tracer perform the laughing emote as they exploded. All that was left was Roadhog, but with six against one, he didn't stand a chance.
"Yes! Fuck yes! We did it!" Natsu cried in relief, watching the payload steadily approach the end, "Finally! Now I'm gonna be-wait what the fuck?"
His gloating was cut short when he noticed his character was taking damage.
"Who the fuck's shooting me? They're all dead!"
Turning around, he came face to face with the enemy team's Mercy, who was bunny hopping around the platform shooting at him with her pistol. Before Natsu could do anything though, she shot at him one final time, resulting in his death. As soon as he was down, Mercy flew over to her team and performed a five-man resurrection. Soon enough, her whole team was with her again, and this time, they had the upper hand.
"FUCK!"
"NO!"
"NATSU! YOU FUCKING DUMB-ASS!"
All at once, the enemy team activated their ultimate abilities. Between Mccree's high noon, Diva's mech bomb, and Genji's dragon blade, nobody survived the carnage. Being a man down, and having already used all of their ultimate's, Natsu's team dropped like flies. In the blink of an eye, the overtime counter dropped to zero, and the game ended with the enemy team teabagging each and every one of them.
"Ugh, fuck this game. Fucking bitch Mercy," Natsu cursed, the big red 'DEFEAT' sign that flashed on his screen did nothing to improve his mood.
"What..." Gajeel began, "The fuck was that?"
"He died...because of the fucking Mercy!"
"I didn't know she was behind me, alright!? Fuck."
"Fucking hell salamander, you really fucked up."
"Tch," Gray paused, taking a sip of something, "Guess you're not ready to play with the big boys in diamond after all."
His overbearing cockiness must have not just been a pain in the ass for Natsu because Gajeel snorted into his headset.
"Shut the fuck up with that already. I'm the one playing on my smurf trying to get both of you cucks into GM."
"...Yeah, well, at least I didn't die because of a fucking healer."
"So? At least I'm not gay."
"Alright, whatever," Gajeel grumbled, becoming bored with their third-grade level insults, "I've had enough of carrying you two today. Wanna head over to Fairy Tail? I'm fucking starving."
"Actually, yeah," Natsu agreed, feeling a little defeated as he watched his skill rating drop significantly, "I'm getting bored of this anyway. Meet you guys there in half an hour?"
"Cool. Later," Gajeel hollered as he signed off.
"See ya."
"Bye."
Making their way to their favorite coroner booth, the three boys reached for the menu's while still bickering over their lost match.
"I still can't believe you fucked it up Natsu, what kind of idiot gets killed by a Mercy?" Gray mocked as he sat down.
Taking a seat next to him, Gajeel couldn't help but snicker.
"Yeah salamander, that was just embarrassing."
Slumping in the seat opposite them, Natsu let out an exasperated sigh, his face clearly showing he was over it, "Oh my god, I don't care. It's not like you two never fuck up."
Turning to look at him with a smug grin, his metal-faced friend was quick to remind him of their skill difference.
"Well, actually, seeing as I'm in top five hundred, I don't make rookie mistakes like that."
Joining him on his chastising of Natsu, Gray nodded, "Yeah. Besides, you only ranked gold. At least I got into diamond by myself."
"I swear to god," Natsu said through gritted teeth, "If you mention that one more fucking time I'm going to break your jaw."
Never one to back down from a challenge, the raven-haired male stared him directly in the eye.
"Die-mond," he enunciated slowly.
Without saying anything, Natsu suddenly lunged himself forwards, one hand grabbing onto Gray's shirt collar, while the other hand was curled into a fist. He'd been itching to kick Gray's ass all day, partly because he was a smug prick who wouldn't shut the fuck up, and partly because well...Natsu was sick of looking at his ugly face. Gray, knowing full well what would happen with the comment he made, mirrored Natsu's movements, raising a fist of his own.
Just as they were about to collide with each other's face, with Gajeel somehow caught in the crossfire, a sweet but unfamiliar voice interrupted them.
"Uh...hi, I'll be your waitress this evening. Can I get you guys anything?"
Feeling slightly peeved someone had saved Gray from having his face rearranged, Natsu turned to address the intruder with a dark look on his face.
Holy crap.
However, once he got a good look at them, his expression softened considerably.
Staring back at him was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his life.
All of a sudden, time seemed to slow down as everyone and everything around him faded into white noise. Natsu couldn't help but be captivated by her soft-looking plump lips, or her hypnotic doe-like eyes. He swallowed thickly, feeling his grasp on Gray's shirt loosening. The pink-haired boy was finding it difficult to remain angry when she was looking at him like that, with her silky blonde hair and her smooth tanned skin. Natsu honestly believed she could pass for a Sports Illustrated model or something of the sort, especially with the way her little button-down waitress uniform clung to her body like a second skin, highlighting her voluptuous form.
Natsu figured it probably wasn't supposed to do that, just like it probably wasn't supposed to make him want to rip it off to see if what was underneath was just as good as he was imagining it to be.
Glancing back and forth between himself and Gray, the blonde raised an eyebrow in amusement at their current position.
"You guys want me to come back or are you good?"
Upon realising they were still locked into a fighting stance, both boys immediately let the other go and scrambled back to their seats.
"Yeah," Gray coughed, "I'll have a Heineken and 'the game changer combo'...and a date if you're giving them out," he finished smoothly, flashing her a charming smile.
The girl, whose name was Lucy (if the name tag above her generously proportioned chest were to be believed) just scowled at him.
"Unfortunately I'm not, but Heineken and combo coming right up," she repeated, writing down what he wanted. She sounding slightly irritated as she did so, but as soon as she turned her attention to Gajeel, her demeanor became a lot more friendly.
"Double cheeseburger meal and a Corona, thanks."
Lucy smiled and scribbled down his order.
She really did have a great fucking smile.
And great tits, too, he added as an afterthought.
Then, she looked to Natsu, and his heart began beating uncontrollably.
"And you?"
Tearing his gaze away from her (seeing as all he'd done since she'd approach their table was stare at her like some sort of creep) Natsu cleared his throat. The pink-haired male felt uncharacteristically nervous. What the hell was wrong with him? He'd been around plenty of hot girls before and not once had he ever acted so dorky. Why now? Why her?
"Uhhh," he trailed off, randomly selecting the first thing he saw on the menu, "I'll have the firey supreme and a Bud Light please."
"Sure thing, coming right up," she responded cheerfully, before taking their menu's off of them and holy shit why did he feel a jolt of electricity run through him when she brushed her hand against his?
Watching her walk away, Gray let out a low whistle.
"She is fine."
The other two boys nodded in agreement.
As Gray continued to stare at Lucy's ass, Gajeel kicked his shin rather harshly from under the table, causing him to flinch in pain.
"Ow, what the fuck man?"
"Don't, or else Juvia will get pissed, then she'll tell Levy, then I'll have to listen to her bitch about you. Again."
"Jesus, it's not like I'm her boyfriend. We just hook up from time to time."
Gajeel looked grossed out, "Too much info. Just...seal the deal already, or stop fucking around with her. She's too clingy for her own good."
Natsu nodded, "Besides," he then gestured to the blonde standing at the bar, "You're too ugly for a girl like that."
Gray scoffed, "Coming from you? That's rich. I'm hot and you know it."
"Ew," Natsu choked out, "Why are you so fucking gay?"
"Weren't you asking me to suck your dick earlier?
"Can you fairies stop flirting?" the pierced male barked, "...Besides," he gestured to himself, "I'm hotter than both of you, so there."
The two boys just gave him a 'what the fuck' look.
Not wanting to have the 'whos hotter than who' argument again, Gray turned his attention to Natsu.
"So...you heard from Lisanna lately?"
Natsu shook his head, "Nah, not since we broke up."
Gajeel raised an eyebrow at this, "The fuck? Since when?"
"Since last week. I ended it with her."
"Why?" Gray snorted, "You just cost yourself at least six months of sex."
"No, I didn't actually," Natsu shot back, "I can get that whenever I want."
"In your dreams maybe."
"More like in your dreams."
Gray frowned at him, "That doesn't even make sense, dumb-ass. Why would I be dreaming of you?"
Smacking them both on the head, Gajeel attempted to re-direct the conversation back to the topic at hand.
"What happened with Lisanna? Weren't you like, all in love and shit?"
Looking slightly awkward at the mention of his previous feelings, Natsu shrugged, "I don't know, I thought I was. Maybe at some point I did..." he trailed off, not sure how to explain himself, "For a while now I've felt we'd be better off as friends, shit just wasn't working."
Not wanting to push the subject anymore, Gray and Gajeel nodded in understanding, accepting his answer.
"Besides..." Natsu finally said after a long silence, his eyes drifted to the cute blonde at the bar, "Things...change."
Noticing where he was looking, Gray crumpled up his napkin and tossed it at Natsu's head.
"Hey dipshit, quit making eyes at the waitress, she's clearly into me."
Throwing it back at him, Natsu snickered, "Yeah you're right, she was real into you with that cold shoulder she was giving you."
Gajeel leaned back in the booth and let out an exasperated sigh.
"I swear, if I have to listen to you two cum-stains argue anymore I'm gonna kill you, then myself."
"Well, fortunately, you won't have to because food has arrived!" Lucy laughed, appearing at the right time once again.
"Soooo," Gray drawled, looking at Lucy's name tag (his eyes lingering there a little too long for Natsu's liking) "Lucy, what time do you get off tonight?"
Lucy raised a finger to her chin, staring into the distance as though she were trying to think of an answer.
"Gee, I don't know," she pondered, before giving Gray a dirty look, "What time are you going to call my friend Juvia back?"
Not expecting her to mention his part-time lover's name, Gray's face faltered, suddenly losing his cool, "Uhhh...w-what now?"
"Juvia?" Lucy prodded, hands on her hips, "Blue hair, totally obsessed with you? You know, the girl you use as a booty call?"
Gajeel and Natsu chuckled to themselves as Gray sank further into his seat, looking painfully awkward.
"W-well I...don't just use her for t-that," he stuttered, "And we're not...exactly official or anything...so-"
"So, how about this," the blonde interrupted, "I won't tell Juvia you were hitting on me, if, you take her out for a real date. Deal?"
"Uh...sure?" he agreed, although not sounding very enthusiastic about it.
"Good!" she clasped both of her hands together happily, "Ok, enjoy your meal guys! If you need anything, I'll be over there!" she pointed to the bar before taking her leave.
As the trio ate their meal, aside from laughing at Gray's shut-down for a good twenty minutes, and Gajeel kicking him a couple of more times, there wasn't any arguing, at least not from Natsu. Instead, his attention was solely focused on Lucy. Every now and then he'd look over at her, only to find her looking back at him. The two exchanged shy smiles and knowing glances that seemed to transpire into something more flirtatious as the evening went on. Whenever she had another table to attend to she would always walk by his, even if she didn't need to, sometimes brushing up against him.
She was totally doing it on purpose, she had to be! His eyes darkened as she bent over to pick up a fork she dropped, his nervousness from earlier completely vanquished at this point by his growing desire to take her back to his place to screw her brains out.
Finishing off the last of his burger, he turned to look at Gajeel and Gray who were both organising the bill. Reaching into his back pocket, Natsu cursed when he couldn't feel his wallet.
"Shit," he sighed as realisation hit him, "I didn't bring any cash."
"Of course you didn't" Gray bit out sarcastically. He sighed in annoyance as he slammed down another ten dollar bill.
"There. Don't say I'm not a nice guy."
Gajeel let out a low chortle as he took the final sip of his beer.
"Aww, ain't that sweet. You paying for your girlfriend?"
Natsu looked positively outraged by his comment.
"Why am I the girlfriend? I'm clearly more manly than him!"
Standing up to throw on his jacket, Gray gave him a weird look, "Now who's gay?"
Ignoring him, Natsu stood up and glimpsed over at the bar, noticing Lucy was by herself cleaning a few glasses. He figured if he was going to ask her out, now would be the best time. At least that way if she said no, nobody would be around to witness him crashing and burning.
Time to slide into those DMs, he thought with a predatory smile.
"Whatever. I'll take this to the register, meet you guys outside," he announced, making his way towards the bodacious blonde before either one of them could protest.
"Hey."
"Hi, everything alright?"
"Yeah, everything was great," he replied cheerfully while handing her the money, "I figured I'd bring this over to you to save Gray from any more embarrassment."
She giggled in response as she began to cash up their order, and Natsu decided it was the best thing he'd ever heard.
"Haha, thanks. I hope I wasn't too mean," she admitted with a sheepish smile, "I just know that Juvia is crazy about him."
"Yeah...really don't understand why," Natsu muttered that last part more to himself, "Sorry about him earlier by the way."
The blonde handed him his change, her smile never fading, "Don't worry, I'm used to it."
"I bet you are."
At this, Lucy raised an eyebrow at him, "Excuse me?"
"Well, I just mean...you know..." he gestured to her as if that was a good enough answer. Lucy didn't seem to understand though as she just gave him a blank stare.
Rubbing the back of his neck as if to appear shy, he flashed her a heart-stopping smile as he held her gaze.
"You're gorgeous," he admitted, voice full of sincerity, "A girl as good-looking as you must have guys all over her all the time."
Lucy blushed ten shades of red and seemed to look away from him in embarrassment. After a few seconds of no eye-contact and of her saying nothing, Natsu began to fear his flirting skills may actually suck and that he'd totally just made her feel uncomfortable. However, as if a sudden boldness overcame her, she looked back up at him with a heavy-lidded, seductive gaze that was sexy as hell, and did...did she just openly check him out?
That meant he was allowed to do the same, right? The only reason he wasn't was because he was trying to be a gentleman.
"Well,...not all the time," she pouted, and something about her tone told him she was referring to him.
Deciding to just go with it, Natsu scanned her from head to toe, "Oh trust me, it's all the time."
He could tell she enjoyed his appreciative staring because her blush seemed to deepen.
"What's your name?"
"Natsu, Natsu Dragneel."
"Natsu," she practically purred, and fucking hell he never knew his name could sound so good, "That's a nice name."
"Well, if you like that you should hear my phone number."
She seemed impressed by that (not that she was the only one, even he didn't expect himself to be so smooth) because without even asking, she took his phone from him and began to input her details.
"Tell you what, since I think you're pretty hot too," she raised both of her eyebrows suggestively, "I'll do you one better. You have permission to Facebook stalk me."
Handing his phone back to him, Natsu could see his Facebook application was already on the profile of a "Lucy Kate Heartfilia", a pretty selfie of the girl in front of him staring back at him.
"Go ahead, I look good in pictures," she commanded in a sultry tone.
Following her instructions, Natsu did as he was told, "Damn," he whistled, "You...weren't kidding," he continued swiping through her pictures, admiring how she looked absolutely fucking perfect in each and every one of them.
"So, does this mean you'll go out with me next Saturday?" he asked hopefully.
She nodded, then leaned over his shoulder to get a peek at what he was looking at, "Yeah, and of course, it goes without saying, I'll look like that on our date," she whispered sensually as a particular risqué picture appeared.
Natsu felt his dick twitch in delight.
"Oh, really now?"
"Absolutely," she stated full of conviction. She leaned forward with her arms crossed, resting her elbows on the countertop, which happened to give Natsu a fantastic view of her plunging cleavage, "So you'd better call."
Copying her, he leaned in closer, stopping only a few inches from her face.
"You bet I will," he murmured huskily.
Still staring at him with that half-lidded gaze, the blonde-haired beauty bit her bottom lip ever so slightly and holy shit Natsu had never wanted someone so badly before in his life. She was testing him, and he didn't like it. The pink-haired male was finding it difficult to restrain himself from jumping over the counter and just taking her up against the cash register, not even caring that the bar was full of patrons.
The two were locked in an intense battle of who was going to jump who's bones first, and Natsu was certain he would have won that if it weren't for Lucy's manager interrupting them.
"Ehem, Lucy, you have table twelve waiting to take their order," she said with a bright smile. If she was bothered by her employee openly hitting on her customers, she didn't let it show.
"Uhhh," Lucy spluttered, face turning red, and not because of the way Natsu was making her feel, "R-right. I'll get on that. Sorry Kinana," she said awkwardly, gathering her pad and pen.
Satisfied with her answer, the smiling purple-haired woman left but seemed to be keeping a curious eye on them both.
"Well then," Lucy finally said once Kinana was out of earshot, "Guess I'll see you Saturday, Natsu," she winked, walking away to greet her next table.
Trying not to completely lose it from the way she practically moaned his name, Natsu attempted to play it cool by shoving his hands in his pockets and nodding like a douchebag. Once he exited the bar, however, he almost passed out from excitement.
FUCK YES.
Gray was so going to hear about this.
Thanks for reading, please review!
