My Chemistry Partner
Original story for Fary Tail is Hiro Mashima.
The story plot and ideas in this fanfiction are mine.
A Fairy Tail AU / Natsu x Lucy
One Lucy Heartfilia's best subject is chemistry. She absolutely loves the periodic table, but it's more for a selfish reason.
"Oh go fluorine uranium carbon potassium(1) yourself! Can't you be more careful?!" The blonde found herself yelling to one of the most well known boys in school- but at that moment she didn't care.
Her books, and her shirt were covered in sticky juice. The pink-haired boy looked between shocked and apologetic, however he didn't even try to apologize as he stared at the girl like she had two heads.
"Wait, what?" He asked the girl confused, "Flu nine box possum?" he tried to repeat. Lucy's angered expression deepened with annoyance.
"Look it up" Sarcasm dripped of her voice. Some may be asking what had happened to bring the blonde to such a place? Her day started normal of course, but she quickly realized, that it wouldn't be ending that way, when Natsu Dragneel stumbled into her as she walked to her locker from lunch.
Like the reckless idiot he was known to be- he was carelessly fighting with his friends in the hallway, along with trying to open his juice pouch, that burst open when one of his teammates shoved him back into Lucy- just in time to drench her in the blast.
Why did Natsu Dragneel, catcher of the baseball team, have to dump his juice accidentally on her? To think she almost made it past her junior year peacefully unnoticed, and undisturbed.
She honestly wasn't ashamed of her nerdy wording at telling him to fuck himself- it was really the last thing on her mind. Behind the anger and annoyance of course, she felt embarrassed beyond belief. So many people were looking at her! Didn't they have anything better to do?! Lucy was a nerd, and she loved to talk using the periodic table, it was like second nature. That didn't give anyone the reason to stare at her! Not to mention that guy- Natsu Dragneel- he looked at her like she crazy, after he spilled his juice onto her nonetheless.
The blonde made it all the way to the nurse without any more trouble- thankfully. The downside, of course with her luck of the day, was that the nurse didn't have any extra uniforms, and she told Lucy she could just go home for the day if she really wanted to. The blonde thought about it, realizing she would have to wear her PE uniform if she didn't go home, not to mention her outfit might stain- and she couldn't afford another one. Great, now she got to go home. And miss her favorite class. And lunch with Levy. Awesome. This is how Lucy Heartfilia ended sulking outside of the school on one of the benches, at noon, with a scowl on her face as she rubbed her temples.
What made it worse is that the certain pink-haired idiot who spilled the juice, happened to waiting outside of school to get picked up as well. Besides causing a big mess, getting juice on not only her but himself, the boy managed to get into a fight with his teammate that pushed him. Of course though, she shouldn't be surprised, because if there was anything Natsu Dragneel was known for at FairyTail academy (besides baseball, pink hair, and dating Lisanna Strauss) it was for getting into fights and causing trouble.
"Hey- you're that girl who said those weird words!" He dawned with realization as he leaned into her personal space. This boy was in her chemistry class- he literally sat right in front of her, and yet he recognized her as the girl he spilled juice on twenty minutes ago.
"Hey look, you're the boy who spilled juice on me." She countered bitterly.
"Oh sorry about that," He apologized sheepishly, sitting beside her much to her dismay. Why didn't he just leave her alone, didn't he do enough damage? The whole school would be talking about this tomorrow, and she did not want everyone looking at her and laughing.
"Sure an arsenic sulfur(2) hole like yourself, who doesn't even remember my name, would apologize with sincerity. You don't even sound sorry. Your only sorry for yourself." Lucy's voice cut harsher than she intended, but her guard was up, and he was way to close for her to put it down even the slightest. The blonde scooted farther away from him.
"Ar sadistic fur hole what?" Nastu asked looking confused as if he should be offended or not, however the blonde just ignored him and turned away, trying to not mess with her sticky books.
"My point, exactly." Lucy replied folding her arms over her chest finally- grimacing at the way her sticky arms rubbed against one other. Of course he would only chose that one part to reply to.
The pinkette leaned closer to her, making the blonde frown and lean away.
"Do you like me or something?"
"Ugh, no!" Lucy stood from the bench she had sat at. Never mind this conversation, it was pointless, and she was leaving.
However, he didn't seem to get the hint she didn't want to talk to him seeing as he too stood up,
"Are you an alien or something?"
"Hahh?! Do I look like an alien to you?!" Lucy turned on her heel, her eyes burning into his. Why this...
"Well you say weird words."
"It is not weird! It's calling knowing the periodic table!"
"Eh? Period table?" Natsu blinked, "Is that a girl-"
"NO."
The pinkette yawned, only causing Lucy's frustration to grow.
"I think you're just weird."
"I am NOT weird!" Lucy shouted ready to choke the sly grin off his face.
Sadly before she could squeeze the life out of him, a beautiful white haired girl walked up to them in a hurry; it was Natsu's girlfriend, Lisanna Strauss.
If there was one word to describe the girl it was defiantly 'beauty', the young woman had silky white hair that was cut in a cute pixie cut, she has a pale complexion that gave her a bashfully graceful feel, along with sparkling sapphire blue eyes that shone brightly any time of the day. Lisanna Strauss was beautiful, and her style was nothing less than the tens. Not to mention she was exponentially smart, and known to be kind to her fellow peers
There was just one problem...
"Natsu, what are you doing out here? Who is she?"
Despite her graceful and charming looks, the girl seemed to always be waiting to lash out someone if they were so much as talking to Natsu. Lucy had seen the white haired girl cut into conversations containing Natsu and random girls before, and it was not pretty. The blonde most definitely did not want to be apart of whatever was going on with this couple-
Ah, but it looked like it was too late. Lisanna was already eyeing the blonde up and down, no doubt wondering if Lucy was trying to steal away her boyfriend. Lucy almost felt bad, after all, there had to be a reason for the girl to be so jealous.
Actually... the more Lucy thought about it, the more she figured it would be the other way around... considering Lisanna's whole scandal thing.
The first time Lucy met Lisanna, she found the girl in the middle of a make out session, and the person she was locking lips with wasn't her boyfriend. Lucy was out of there in five seconds flat, because she was not sticking around for whatever drama that was sure to bring.
Lucy's only encountered Lisanna a few times, and none in which could be called 'good' circumstances. The white haired beauty was strangely possessive over Natsu, even despite the fact Lucy's never seen them act like a couple. She supposed it would be hard to act like a couple if that idiot was your boyfriend though.
The blue eyed girl seemed to realize where she knew Lucy from, a quick blush spread across her face before a mixed emotion took over her features.
"This is uh... Luigi?" Natsu looked at the blonde as if to confirm that was her name, the blonde only glared at him.
"It's Lucy,and I am not sticking around for this... whatever this is." The blonde made a little bow, before turning to leave when the white haired girl spoke up again, causing the blonde to groan.
"You weren't trying to do anything, right? Natsu's taken you know."
Lucy let out a long sigh. "No mam, but I think you should take your own advice." Her tone was laced with sarcasm, and she knew she shouldn't have said it, but between everything that had happened in the last hour, Lucy was in no mood to play this game.
Lisanna bit down on her lip, "Don't talk about something you don't know."
The blonde turned back, feeling drained, "Riiiight." She said, drawing the word out, "So sorry."
Natsu looked between the two confused, "Er- what?"
The two ignored him, "Luicelle, listen-"
"It's Lucy!"
"What?"
"Ugh never mind- just leave me alone for fluorine's sake!"
"What's with all weird words?" Lisanna placed her hands on her hips, her eyebrow raising in skepticism.
"It's really not your business, now is it?" The blonde let out a quick sigh, "Leave me and my life alone, and you don't have to worry about anything."
"What? Are you trying to say something?" The white haired girl seethed, trying to keep herself calm.
Lucy turned away, "No. God, can't you two not bother me?"
The white haired girl frowned, "We'd be perfectly happy to. Come on Natsu- you need to change into your PE clothes."
Natsu managed to avoid her hand, "Actually I'm supposed to get home- you know fighting an all."
Lisanna looked hurt at his action, "Oh... right."
"Yeah, well later than. Ah- sorry again Lucy!"
With that he paced off towards what Lucy imagined was the direction of his home.
"What is up with you two?" The blonde questioned, raising an eyebrow at Lisanna.
The white haired girl look like the blonde had burned her, "Nothing," She hissed before turning back to the school and stalking off. Lucy shrugged. It was probably beyond her understanding of them, and definitely not something she wanted to be involved in.
The bell rang, pulling Lucy from her daze and back into reality. Turning her gaze from the window, to the front of the class as the teacher dismissed the student for a break. The blonde yawned tiredly, her vision blurring slightly to only see a blue figure approaching.
"Lu-chan!" A sweet voice chirped, "Did you by any chance tell Natsu Dragneel to fluorine uranium carbon potassium himself?" The blonde gave a sheepish look to her best (and only) friend Levy.
"Levy-chaaan..." Lucy whined laying her head on the desk, "He spilled juice on me."
"So?! I told you you can't go around shouting that at people! Plus you get all sassy with Lisanna-"
"How do even you know about that?"
"Lu-chan... everyone is talking about it." Levy sighed shaking her head, "You need to be more careful when you say things."
"But Levy-chan I-!" The blonde was silenced as the blue haired girl held up a finger.
Levy was a short girl with medium length wavy blue hair, she liked to tie bandanna's around her head, along with using headbands to push her bangs out of her face. The school's dress code wasn't anything big, leaving most students to decorate their uniforms however they pleased. The best thing about Levy was her personality. The blunette was a major book-worm, like Lucy herself.
Together they had found words in the periodic table as freshman, and have been friends ever since. Both have quick wit, but Levy is more quiet about it- unless it comes to her height- unlike the her blonde friend.
"Lu-chan, even if someone is acting like a carbon radium phosphorus(3) hat, doesn't, mean you get to be one back- your better than that." Levy was, as usual, one for finding common ground. She had a history with most of the people at FTA, seeing as they all grew up together. Everyone was usually really kind, but Natsu and Lisanna tended to be a sensitive topic. Levy rambled on until the bell rang, earning a squeak from the blunette.
"My class is on the other side of campus!" She squeaked grabbing her bag and sprinting out the door. Lucy shook her head sympathetically, she would never make it.
Fairy Tail Academy is huge, and Levy is small.
"Alright everyone listen-" The teacher was cut off repetitively by the noisy and disruptive class. The blonde looked from their teacher, who seemed to be growing agitated, to back out the window. She was trying to drown out the noise of her class. Lucy felt herself grow sleepy as she blinked repeatedly to keep her eyes open... She should've gone to bed earlier-
"EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!" Mr. Clive yelled, slamming a book on his desk. Lucy jumped, suddenly awake, and stared at the front of the class like she had been the entire time.
"I was going to let you pick partners for this next assessment, but forget it! I'm choosing for you, ya ungrateful brats." The class groaned in despair- even the blonde's face scrunched up displeased. She raised her hand slightly,
"Mr. Clive could we work alone?" The brown haired man shot her a glare, causing the blonde to quickly drop her hand and find something interesting out the window.
"No, Miss Heartfilia. You may not, and since you seem to be finding the window so interesting, how about I partner you up first." He scanned the room quickly, leaving little time for the blonde to play for him to have a decent heart and soul.
Turns out he didn't.
"Lucy your partner is Natsu." This is were Lucy could feel all hopes of a some-what decent grade slipping through her fingers.
No, she thought painfully, anyone but him. The blonde slammed her head onto the desk and groaned as Natsu's voice sounded from in front of her.
"Uh, what class is this again?"
