"I used to pick on you in middle school and then we went to separate high schools but now you're at my college and your hot as hell and really popular" AU
"Happy, get off of my laptop, I have an assignment due in two hours." Natsu shooed his blue feline friend off of his desk in order to do his online chemistry assignment; granted he really should have done it a while ago. Meowing, Happy jumped off the desk and made his way to Natsu's bed slightly disgruntled that he was made to move.
Unfortunately, however, Happy had managed to knock over the cup of coffee that was resting on Natsu's desk, resulting in it spilling all over his laptop, frying it. "Oh you've got to be kidding me!" Natsu exclaimed, slamming his fist on the desk. Now what was he supposed to do?
Natsu sighed and sat in his desk chair, crossing his arms with a thoughtful look on his face. On the one hand, the assignment wasn't worth that much, but on the other hand he always found them helpful, plus it was easy marks.
"What am I gonna do Happy?" Rolling over to his bed, Natsu pick up his cat, petting him for comfort. "I suppose I could make it to the campus library and use a computer there. The only problem is I've never actually been in the library."
"Well I guess it shouldn't be too confusing in there. I'll see you later little buddy!" Putting Happy down, Natsu ran out of his room and made his way to his University, having made the decision that it was better to try to finish the assignment and get some points for it than to get no points at all.
"Shit, what the hell is my log in info?" Helpless, Natsu stared at the screen in front of him, not having a clue on how to get on the computer. He only had an hour and a half left to finish his assignment, and he was starting to panic.
He heard a giggle near him, and he could assume it was either due to his salmon-coloured hair or his frustration at the computer (since it was obvious to everyone there that he was having issues). Deciding to ignore it, Natsu went back to staring at the screen, trying to figure it out. Any normal person would go ask for help, but Natsu was too proud and stubborn.
"It looks like you're having some issues with that." A soft voice spoke behind him, causing him to tense up. Whoever it was sounded hot, and he did not want to embarrass himself over a stupid computer. "Ha, no way! I'm just, uh, trying to…" he trailed off, not being able to come up with a reasonable excuse.
He couldn't bear to look at her, and see the ridicule that would be in her eyes. "It's okay that you don't know, a lot of people don't. It's really simple though, it's just your username and password for the website that our profs post all of our notes and things on." Trusting the voice, he typed it in, and was pleasantly surprised when the home screen appeared.
Overwhelmed with joy because he could finally do his stupid assignment he impulsively jumped up and turned around, hugging his still unknown saviour. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" He rushed out, before realizing he was acting like a complete idiot.
Pulling away quickly with a slight blush he began to apologize, until he saw who it was.
"Luigi?"
Needless to say Lucy was not impressed.
Two hours later Natsu was back at his shared apartment, sprawled on his couch in mortification at his actions at the library.
"What's got you looking like a washed up piece of trash?" Roommate/friend/rival Gray Fullbuster asked as he walked in on the sorry sight in front of him.
"I ran into Lucy Heartfilia at the library."
"You went to the library?"
Sitting up, Natsu glared at him.
Gray rolled his eyes and walked over to sit on the chair across from the couch. "Okay, Lucy. What's the big deal?"
"Don't you remember middle school? I used to pick on her all the time, probably made her three years a living hell- which would explain why she went to a different high school- and now she's all nice and hot and popular and smart and I called her Luigi and attacked her and-"
"Wait minute, you attacked her?" Gray interrupted, confused but very interested.
"It was a hug attack."
"A hug attack."
"Yes, ice princess, a hug attack. She helped me log onto the computer and I was so happy I attacked her with a hug." This is where Gray lost it; he doubled over with laughter, tears falling from his eyes, not even trying to hold it back.
Natsu crossed his arms with a scowl on his face, regretting his decision to talk to Gray about this. "Can it stripper, it ain't that funny."
Wiping the tears away from his eyes while he tried to calm down, Gray couldn't help but let out a few more chuckles. "You're right, it's hilarious."
Natsu threw a pillow at him. "Whatever, not like I'll ever see her again anyways." Even though that would be a good thing because of how much he embarrassed himself, Natsu couldn't help the slight twinge of disappointment at not seeing her again.
"Well that's not entirely true." Gray smirked at Natsu, an evil glint in his eyes indicating he knew something that would be great for him, but not so much for Natsu.
Squinting at his rival, Natsu knew this would end badly. "What do you mean?"
"Well I was talking to Juvia today and apparently she made a new friend."
"That's good for her?"
Gray threw the pillow back at Natsu's head. "Idiot. Her new friend is Lucy."
In that moment Natsu knew that his life from here on out would be quite interesting.
