Okay, so I know I'm suppose to update my other story called Still which I will since its gaining a lot of attention but I couldn't help but just write this story. I'm not sure if the plot line is already used but I just wanted to write it so bad.
Summary: Lucy, a journalist who's looking for a good story to cover but she never thought that she will meet the lead singer from the most popular band called Fairy Tail. Now she's hanging out with these guys and starting to fall in love with the lead singer that will make her knees go weak and stomach churn. Mostly NaLu.
Dedication: I would love to dedicate this story to ambiguous seafish for always being awesome and being a great friend on the internet.
Here comes the new story and I hope you'll like it.
Tender Love Part One, Chapter One
The Fatal Meeting
"Ugh!" I yelled as I tugged violently on my golden hair. Everyone eyes were on me, staring at me oddly. I gave them a slight smile. I stared at my computer and bit my lower lip as I stared at my Word document.
Two words were written there. Lucy Heartifilia.
I groaned. This was harder than I thought it would be. I wanted to write a good story and I just started the job. If my boss found out that I don't have a story, I will be fired.
I winced at the thought. How come it was so hard to find a good story? This is Magnolia; a place where chaos happens everyday. Why can't I find one?
My mother lied to me when she told me that I will become an excellent journalist. Sheesh, I should've of just stick with me becoming a novelist. It seemed much easier than this.
I groaned once more. Can someone please take me away from this earth and never let me return again?
"What's the matter Lu?" Levy asked. I shifted my gaze at her and stared painfully at her computer. She already has a story.
"Oh nothing," I said, "just wincing in pain at the thought of me being fired from Glamour magazine."
Levy snickered. "C'mon, I bet you have a good story on something. Here, let me help."
I held up my hand and I smiled at the offer. "Thanks Levy but I have to do this myself. I just got the job like a week ago and Makarov trusts me. He thinks I can come up with an excellent story."
Levy pointed her fingers at me with a smile. "Exactly, that's why he wouldn't fire you. You're new here and you're not use to this, so he's probably willing to wait a little longer."
I glumly stared at Levy. I love her to death but that doesn't really make me feel better. I don't want to keep him waiting.
"Levy," I said as I closed my eyes for a brief moment. I sighed. "I want to finish this before the deadline."
Levy hummed before she knitted her eyebrows. "When's your deadline?"
I tapped my watch just to make a point. "Well, since I'm new here, it's about three weeks from now but Makarov said if I write it earlier then he will publish my work."
Levy nodded. I bit my lower lip.
"But I don't have anything to write about especially since my cover is on celebrities," I said. I put a strand hair behind my ears. "Ugh, why couldn't I do clothes or something?"
Levy giggled. "That's because Cana is covering that."
I glanced over at Cana. I blinked as I saw her playing a game instead of doing her job. I inwardly smiled.
"Yeah, maybe I can ask her to switch with me," I said. I was totally desperate to write something…anything. I just wanted to let Makarov know that I'm used to the job and he can rely on me. Apparently, I'm failing that attempt miserably.
Mirajane walked towards us, carrying drinks in her hand. She smiled at us.
"You guys want anything to drink?" Mirajane asked.
Levy eagerly raised her hand. "Please hand me coffee Mirajane."
Mirajane giggled before handing Levy a cup of coffee. She shifted her gaze at me before smiling. "Do you want any coffee Lucy?"
I shook my head. "I can't have anything to drink until I write something."
Levy rolled her eyes as she stared at Mirajane. "She's been complaining all day because she hasn't found a story to cover yet."
Mirajane nodded her head slowly. She gave me a sympathetic smile. "Don't worry Lucy, you just started here. I'm sure Makarov gave you time to cover a story. You'll find one soon."
I stared at Mirajane before banging my head on the table. "I don't need your pity."
Levy rolled her eyes. "Lu, c'mon, you're worrying too much. Makarov is not the person to fire a new employee."
Cana smoothly interjected. "But he is the person to get angry if you don't meet his deadline."
I weep silently. Mirajane shot Cana a look before she landed her eyes back to me.
I pulled my head away from the table and stared at them. "What am I going to do?"
Mirajane clasped her hands. "You can do a story about the hottest band in Magnolia: Fairy Tail."
Levy—who was drinking her coffee—spit it out violently before coughing loudly. She wiped the mess that she made with a napkin. She stared at Mirajane insanely.
"What?" Mirajane said.
Cana turned away from her game before she turned her chair to face our direction. "Mira, you know the band is really popular, right?"
Mirajane nodded. "I know that so…?"
Levy stared at her with wide eyes. "So, how is Lu going to meet them? We have to ask Makarov permission."
I glanced at Mirajane. Mirajane tapped her chin before smiling. "Why don't I just contact Natsu?"
Levy's eyes widen and Cana stared at Mirajane gaped. I blinked.
"What's the matter?" I said. "You guys seemed a little shocked."
Levy stared at Mirajane. "Of course Lu, Natsu is the lead singer of Fairy Tail. Mirajane, how did you get his number?"
Cana smirked. "That's what I want to know."
I stared at Mirajane before biting the inside of my cheek. "How did you get his number?"
Mirajane smiled. "Let's just say I known Natsu for a long time before he became a singer."
"Wow," Levy said. "So do you know the other members as well?"
Mirajane nodded. She grabbed the chair from behind her and she sat on it. She placed the tray with coffee drinks on the desk.
"Yeah, Natsu introduce me to them. They're very funny." Mirajane said.
Levy grinned. "Wow Lu, you're very lucky to meet them."
I held up my hands. "Okay, but what if I don't like there personality."
Cana rolled her eyes. "Lucy, it doesn't matter if they have a nasty personality, you still have to work with them. You do want a story right?"
I nodded.
Mirajane smiled. "Don't worry Lucy. If they do anything to you I will kill them. Besides, Erza is there."
I knitted my eyebrows. "Who is Erza?"
Levy blinked at me. "Erza is Fairy Tail's manager. People say she's a demon."
I raised an eyebrow. I'm wondering how she's a demon. I shrugged my shoulders. I'll probably find out soon.
Mirajane stared at me. "So Lucy are you in?"
I bit my lower lip before smiling. "I'm in."
Mirajane smiled. "Great, let me just go call Natsu."
I nodded and Mirajane left us. Levy squealed in excitement and I have to cover my ears.
"Isn't that great Lu," Levy said with a smile. She bit her lower lip. "You get to meet Fairy Tail. You are so lucky."
I blinked at Levy. I know that Fairy Tail is very popular but I don't get what so good about them. There's always a façade in a boy band before meeting there real personality.
I bit my lower lip. I guess I have to dig up some dirt and see what Fairy Tail is really like. I guess I have a story now to cover.
I smiled.
Tender Love
Mirajane dialed Natsu's number and held her phone towards her ear. She inwardly squealed. She knew this might be a chance to get Natsu in a relationship.
"Hello?"
Mirajane smiled. "Natsu, finally, this is the first time you pick up your phone."
"Excuse me Mira, but this is the first time you ever called me. You usually text me and when I text back you never replied."
Mirajane rolled her eyes. See, this is what she has to go through every time she speaks to Natsu. "Never mind that. Natsu, I have this girl—"
"Ugh,"
"—I want you to meet her. Her name is Lucy and she's a journalist. She's looking for a story and I decided to let her do a cover on Fairy Tail." Mirajane finished.
"Mira, are you seriously bringing a girl over to meet us just because of her job?"
Mirajane nodded although Natsu cannot see her annoyance. "Yes, she needs a story and you're worth covering."
"Are you sure this is not a set up? Are you sure you're not trying to set me up with this girl?"
Mirajane refrain herself from giving away any details. "Actually, I never thought about that—"
"You're lying."
Mirajane giggled. "Through my teeth but Natsu I won't set you up with this girl. I promise. Now can you please accept her roaming through your house—"
Natsu easily interjected. "It's actually a mansion."
Mirajane rolled her eyes. "—whatever mansion. Are you allowing that?"
Mirajane heard Natsu sighed through the phone.
"Okay. How long is she staying?"
Mirajane smiled nervously. "About three weeks possibly longer. It depends on the coverage."
"Three weeks. Okay, let me just tell Erza about this."
Mirajane bit her lip. "So I can send her there."
Natsu sighed one more before he sweep his fingers through his hair. "Yeah, I guess so but as soon as she finished with the story, she has to leave."
Mirajane nodded. "Okay so I guess I send her there. See you later Natsu."
"Bye Mira."
As Mirajane hang up the phone, she smiled. She found another love interest for Natsu Dragneel just like she did when they were in high school but a better one.
Mirajane giggled.
Tender Love
Mirajane drove me to Fairy Tail's mansion. As we finally arrived there, I got out of the car and stared at the mansion. My eyes widen on how large it was. Mirajane kept telling me that this is there house. This mansion cannot even be described as a house.
"Mirajane, I thought you said they have a house," I said as I crossed my arms.
Mirajane merely blink at me. She tilted her head to the side. "Lucy, this is a house."
I stared at her. Is she serious? I bit my lower lip and I pointed at the big "house" in front of me. "Yeah Mirajane, such a house could be that big."
Mirajane smiled with the roll of her eyes. "Whatever, if they live there then it's a house."
I rolled my eyes. I clasped my hands and grabbed my notepad and pencil. It's time to take some notes before I get to the details.
Mirajane approached the door and I followed her trail. As we reached the door, she glanced at me before she landed her eyes back on the door.
"Brace yourself," Mirajane said with bite of her lower lip. She shifted her strong gaze at me. "They can be a little unusual."
I nodded. Mirajane then knocked on the door and we entered Fairy tail's home.
Tender Love
"Natsu!" Mirajane yelled. I held my notepad and my pencil close to my chest. My eyes wandered around the room. This entire living room is spacious. You can even fit an elephant here.
"Um Mirajane," I said. She responded to me with a hum. I continued off with my statement. "Is this there living room?"
Mirajane nodded. "Pretty hard to believe, right?"
I nodded before answering. "Yeah. I can't believe they live here."
The living room has granite square tiles. The couches were leathery and Samsung Flat Screen TV that was placed on there orange wall. It has a chandelier on top. I was at a loss of words. This room was unbelievable.
"They probably have an indoor pool," I muttered. Mirajane giggled. I think she heard what I said.
"They do," Mirajane said. My eyes widen; now, this is the place I would love to stay at. I have to give my thanks to Mirajane for setting this up. Three perfect weeks living in this mansion.
"You asshole, give me back my cell phone!" I heard someone yelled. Mirajane and I watched as one blonde hair boy started chuckling and running away with a cell phone in his hand.
A boy with dark spiky hair started to chase him and he glared at the guy. "Give me back my cell phone Loke."
Ah, so his name is Loke.
Loke stuck his tongue out before laughing. "Never. I have to show this to Jellal, Gajeel, and Natsu. They wouldn't believe to see this."
Mirajane smiled. "Oh boys. Don't make me call Erza?"
I shivered. I never knew that Mirajane could smile evilly like she did right now. It was freaking me out.
Loke and the other boy shifted their gaze at Mirajane. They smiled nervously.
"Oh Mira," The other boy said, "I never knew you were here."
Mirajane smiled. "Hi Gray."
Loke smiled at Mirajane. "Hello Mira, you brought a fine lady here today."
I knitted my eyebrows together. Is he trying to hit on me? Last time someone did that to me, I punched them in the nose.
Mirajane glared at Loke. "Loke, you're not allowed to date her, and besides, she belongs to Natsu."
Loke groaned. "Why does every girl belong to Natsu?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me, last time I check, I was single."
I glowered at Mirajane. Mirajane laughed playfully. "Chill out Lucy, I was kidding. Boys, this is Lucy. She will be staying here for about three weeks. She's a journalist and she's trying to write about Fairy tail."
I smiled at the two boys.
Loke put his hand up. "Oh really, all I heard is that her name is Lucy and she's single."
I mentally puked.
Gray hit Loke in the chest. Loke coughed. "Calm down Loke. You know were not allowed to date."
Loke was immediately dejected. "I know."
I arched an eyebrow. Idols were not allowed to date. Huh, that must be upsetting.
Mirajane cleared her throat. "So Gray, where's Natsu?"
Gray blinked before he crossed his arms. "That idiot went off somewhere with Erza."
Mirajane nodded. "Okay, so Lucy, do you want me to go grab your luggage?"
I nodded before I set my notepad and my pencil on the table. "Yeah let me help as well."
Mirajane nodded before she opened the door. She went out before closing the door behind her. I arched an eyebrow. Did she forget that I was helping as well?
I shrugged my shoulders before I walked my way towards the door. I opened it and I came face to face with the hottest male I have ever seen.
The male had beautiful captivating onyx eyes. He had spiky rosy colored hair. He was wearing dark jeans with a chain in his pocket. He had this one pair of an earring that was shaped like a dragon. He had this white t-shirt that outlined his chiseled abs. He wore dark black Jordan and to top it off, he was wearing fake glasses.
I felt my cheeks getting hot as I ogle him. He raised an eyebrow at me.
Loke blinked before he popped a grape in his mouth. Where did he get that? "Oh Natsu, you're back. How was the photo shoot?"
My eyes widen. This was Natsu. This was the person people were talking about. I knew he was handsome but not that handsome.
Natsu wet his lips. "Um yeah, Loke who is this?"
I bit my lip and tried to ignore the heat that was penetrating through my body. His voice; it was to die for. It was so sexy.
I cleared my throat before I held out my hand. "My name is Lucy Heartifilia. The journalist Mirajane was talking about."
Natsu gave me a wary look before he accepted my handshake. He bit his lower lip before I realized his eyes were analyzing me.
I blushed.
Natsu grinned. Damn, even his grin was perfect.
"Okay Lucy," Natsu said as he drawled out my name slowly. "I hope you have a nice stay here for the next three weeks."
I gulped. "Uh huh."
Natsu pushed past me before he gave Gray and Loke a high five. I stared at the back of him.
I suddenly just realized something. These few weeks are going to be a torture but at least I have something to enjoy.
End of Chapter One, Part One,
The Fatal Meeting
So, how was it? Did you like the new story? I wanted to make a story of something like this and after I completed my other story: Still, I will post another new story about a detective Lucy.
Since school is almost over, I will be posting a lot on my two stories. Still and Tender Love.
I made a schedule of when I'm going to update.
Tender Love will be updated every Tuesday or Sunday.
Still will be updated every Thursday or Saturday.
So I guess I will see you Tuesday or Sunday.
The name of title of the story was inspired by ambiguous seafish who loves the Kpop group: EXO too much and make me listen to it. I named the story after EXO song: Tender Love. Check it out although it's in another language. That's why its called K-pop (Korean Pop) for a reason.
Please lave a happy review and favorite/follow.
I see you in the next chapter. :)
