So NaLu week is finally upon us! I'm so excited for this week of one shots are you? I hope you are! Anyway I only own the story not the characters.
Longing
This was becoming a normal routine for Lucy, everyday after school she would walk home and go to her laptop and boot it up. Waiting for the blue screen to light up in more colors she thought back to the last day of school, one of the boys from her class had asked her out in a last attempt to win her heart before summer break. Lucy immediately declined after all someone else holds her heart in their hands, FireDragon400, or as she had gotten to know him Natsu Dragneel. Of course he doesn't know this, she feared he would think she was weird, all she knew about him was how he sounded and talked not how he looked or were he lived. Lucy didn't find this unfair, not in the slightest he knew just about the same as her. After a few more seconds of painful waiting her computer boots up to the login screen, smashing down onto her keyboard she puts in her password, StarGazeWN400 It was long yes but she found it the easiest to remember.
Opening her FireFox browser she entered the first letter of the link she always went to and pressed enter, if this didn't show how much she went there then what will? Immediately being bombarded with happy summer break and H.A.G.S messages from her five friends, Gray or IceDeamonSilver had blue text, Levy or BookShrimp101 with orange text, Erza as ReQuipTower1111 with gray (she insits silver) text, IornDragon400 as Gajeel with black text, Natsu with red text, and Lucy as StarKeys400 with yellow (she also insists golden) text. "Okay Okay, guys I get it it's finally summer!" She typed into the small rectangle at the bottom of the page.
"Lu-Chan we all got pleted with comments it's your turn now!" Levy's orange text showed, Lucy could imagine her smiling at her screen with evil intents. None of them knew were they all lived and none of them knew how they looked, although they all knew how they each sounded.
Smiling at her screen reading all of the messages a certain color stood out the most, red. "H.A.G.S to you guys too." Lucy typed after the onslaught stopped, she was content of the idea of spending three months like this even if she did wish they could see each other at some point. Getting the idea into her friends' heads would be hard or so she thought. "Hey, we should all find out a way to meet up... IRL." There was a long pause in the chat, yes the awkwardness translates.
A few moments later she got a bunch of totally and sures from everyone, smiling at her screen she heard a high pitched beep signaling that someone started a private chat with her. "I would love to meet you Luce" She loved that nickname Natsu had given her, it was for his personal use only even if it started with a simple typo. "When we do meat you need to bring the real version of cards against humanity with you." Smiling at the fact that he remembered she once said she owned the real game, it was after the first time her and the other five in the group had played pretend you're xyzzy a free online version of it.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure Erza would kill me if I showed up without it, she loves that game to bits." Seeing the blue light go red she went back to the main chat. "So, when should we meet?" Again the chat paused. "And wouldn't we need to tell everyone where we live, for all we know one of us lives in a different country." Sighing to herself she began having major doubts about the idea.
"Everyone say where they live on three." Everyone joined in to the count down before taking an extra second to type their location. "Magnolia, Fiore." Was what everyone replied at the same time.
"Wow..." Grinning like a mad woman Lucy started making up plans on what they could do. "We should all video chat so we don't ask random people if they're us." Not making a lot of sense at the moment she bounced ecstatically at the idea of finally being able to meet Natsu. Internally deciding that she would confess to him then no questions asked.
"Let's meet up at this bar called Fairy Tail on sunday." Natsu added hoping that they all knew it.
"I've always wanted to go there! I live about ten minutes away from it." Lucy typed still ecstatic.
"How have you not been there?!" Gray typed, which surprised her Gajeel and Gray hardly ever comment and when they do it's normally not a lot.
"I haven't been there either,I think phantomlord is better anyway." Shocked once again she smiled that even the most unemotional people in the group are getting into meeting up.
"Okay then let's video chat tomorrow around four, I need to go clothes shopping I wanna look nice for sunday." Lucy stated and began waiting for the replies.
Gajeel, Gray, and Natsu all replied the same thing "...Girls..." Erza and Levy also said the same thing the only thing differentiating was her name. "Have fun Lu-Chan/Lucy!" Smiling she logged off to go shopping.
Lucy was majorly excited she was finally going to know how Natsu looks, not to mention all of her other friends. It was five minutes before four o'clock, they had all agreed earlier to make a skype account to talk to each other. After she finished downloading the program she rushed to login, immediately getting five friend requests she accepted them all and started the call. After everyone answered she began to feel nervous, what if they didn't like how she looked? "I'll go first." She stated swallowing every emotion except excitement, pressing the button to turn on her camera she watched the buffering circle load her picture up painfully slow. Once her image did appear her breath caught in her throat, the camera did her good though it perfectly captured how her lips were naturally glossy and how her hair curved in all the right places.
"Well dam!" She saw Gray's square light up telling her it was him who said it. "You're actually pretty cute." Following the statement there was deep growl to be heard from Natsu's square. "What do you want idiot it's true." Gray growled in response causing a full out fight between the two.
"I'll go next." A deep yet feminine voice came through Erza's square, ignoring the two boys who were fighting in the background they continued revealing their identity to each other. Erza seemed to be outside so the light reflected perfectly off of her red glossy hair which were a great contrast to her brown eyes.
"Wow Erza you look really good!" Lucy smiled at her friend trying to contain her excitement.
"Thank you Lucy, if you boys don't shut up I will personally punish you tomorrow!" Erza shouted into her microphone shooting a glare that Lucy could now tell really was scary. Instantly stopping Gray's box lit up next.
"I'll go." He stated, a few seconds later he was on the screen two... Seemingly naked.
"Gray! Put on some clothes!" Giving Lucy a questioning look he looked down and gasped.
"I swear I had a shirt on a second ago!" Running of the screen to presumably get a shirt she laughed nervously
"This is taking too long I say we all go at the same time." A gruff voice came from a square on the far right.
"I agree with Gajeel." Levy's square lit up in a somewhat high pitched voice. "Let's go." Staring at her screen she waited for one person in particular to show up.
The first thing she noticed was that he had pink hair and she actually liked it it surprisingly seemed to fit him, the second thing she noticed was his scarf. Looking over to the right she saw who had to be Gajeel, not being very shocked by the fact that he had so many piercings since he had revealed it many months ago. Then further to the left she saw Levy who had blue hair and looked like she was wearing orange, the two colors contrasted nicely. "I am so excited for tomorrow guys!"
Lucy was standing in front of the Fairy Tail bar which was surprisingly huge, Opening the door she was greeted by a beautiful platinum blonde wearing a red and pink dress. "Hello, you must be new here! What can I do for you?" Smiling sweetly she held out her hand in a greeting.
"I'm Lucy and, yeah I'm waiting for my friends, apparently four of them are regulars." Shaking the other woman's hand Lucy returned the smile.
"I'm Mirajane, although most just call me Mira. So you say they're regulars that means they have the chemical Fairy Tail tattoo, who are they?" Following Mira to the actual bar Lucy was bombarded with a multyatude of objects flying her way.
"Oh, Erza, Gray, Natsu, and Levy." Giving Lucy an evil smirk she leaned into Lucy's personal space.
"Do you have a crush on one of them?" Gasping Lucy jumped back and almost fell onto a tiny old man holding a mug of beer.
"No, well actually yes." Giggling brightly Mira put down the cup she had started cleaning and jumped into the seat next to her.
"So tell me who is it?" Once again invading her by now non-existent personal space.
"It's uuhhh, N-Natsu." Blushing madly she looked down only to hear someone whistle into her ear.
"So you like that dense idiot, I gotta hand it to him you have some huge ta-tas!" A feminine voice said to her left, turning to see who said it Lucy was met face to face with a huge bear barrel being held by a girl in capris and a bikini top. Not wanting to continue either conversation she was left praying for her friends to show up, luckily her prayers were answered with her favorite nickname and a tap on the shoulder.
"Luce?" Spinning around faster than she thought possible she smiled brightly at the sight of all her friends. Letting confidence build up as much as possible she took in a deep breath before grabbing Natsu's wrist and standing up.
"I need to tell you something." A sheet of red coating her face she began dragging him to a more secluded area getting questioning looks from all her friends. Eventually landing behind a staircase she looked straight into his dark eyes.
"What is it Luce?" Taking one last breath she took his hands in hers.
"I like you Natsu, I have for a while now." Waiting for the initial shock to pass, looking down after a while her only hope being the fact that he hasn't pulled away yet her face turned even redder from embarrassment. Soon however, he pulled his hands away, thinking she had been rejected she jumped slightly when a hand touched her chin and pulled it up to look into his eyes. On his face was a small smile, a smile that made her smile with him. Leaning in closer his lips eventually touched down to hers in a long chaste kiss. One had was on the back of her head the other on the small of her back. Lucy snaked her arms around his neck and reluctantly pulled away for air, not being able to believe what just happened she stared at him dazed.
Pulling Lucy into a hug Natsu whispered into her ear. "I've been wanting to do that for awhile now." Smiling brightly into his shoulder she let a giggle slip from her mouth. "Luce do you wanna be my girlfriend?" Pulling back to kiss him once more she smiled onto his mouth. "I take that as a yes?"
Laughing once more she nodded. "Yes." Walking hand in hand out from their hiding spot, walking up their confused looking friends Natsu sat down first.
"So what was that all about?" Gray asked looking up from his glass of iced water she guessed he had ordered while they were gone.
"Oh, nothing much." Natsu replied smiling Lucy was about to sit down next to him when he slipped his hands around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. Letting out a quick eep.
"What's going on here?" She could hear Erza say in a deep voice resembling a growl.
"Oh, nothing much." Turning up to look at him Lucy was as red faced as ever when he leaned down to kiss her for the third time that day. "Luce 's just my girlfriend now." Everyone in the entire bar was staring at them now with jaws dropped and wide eyes.
"Natsu actually got a girlfriend?!" Was the initial response from most while her friends from the internet where whispering to each other questioning when it happened. Mira and Cana gave me a thumbs up with a grin.
"Yup I'm his girlfriend." Smiling at the way it sounded coming from her mouth she hoped it would last forever. Turning around to once more touch her lips to his she smiled until her cheeks hurt, yup she could get used to this.
SOOOOOOOOOOO, That was it Crappy right? I don't even know! Anyway I hope you enjoyed it.
