She couldn't believe how dense he was! For weeks, she had been trying get it through to the pink haired dragon slayer that she liked him, but he just wasn't getting the hint. So today was the day that either would make it or break it for her, and then she would have to resort to desperate measures. So, young Lucy Heartfilia walked into the guild hall with her prettiest shirt on, an low-cut black tank top with a few fashionably placed tears on the shoulder and around the waist and a pink miniskirt with a chain around the waist like a belt; with her keys and whip attached to it. She looked cute and seductive at the same time, and today was the day she got the boy she wanted to stare to finally stare. She walked into the guild hall overflowing with confidence. She got a few whistles from some of the men in the guild and some people, also mainly the men, saying things like, "What's the occasion, Luce?" Or, "Lucy, you look good today!", the usual things she got when she wore things like this.
She walked over to her usually table, and sat down next to Natsu, and across from Grey who, as always, had Juvia next to him clinging to his arm. Grey's eyes got lost around her chest area for a minute and Juvia shot daggers at her more than him. She smiled and greeted everyone warmly, even Juvia who huffed out a hello. Grey re-focused and blushed when he noticed that Lucy saw him looking.
"Uh- Hey Luce! How are you?" He didn't really make eye contact, he just kind of set his hands to working at getting Juvias hand from cutting off his circulation in his arm. She smiled and looked around at everyone.
"I'm good! How are you guys?" She gave a genuine smile, to which Erza, Wendy, and Natsu returned with "Good"s and "Great"s. Conversation then went to what the group was going to do next, and who they wanted to go help, but all Lucy could look at was Natsu.
His hair was in pink tufts again today, it was never really different, and it looked like the same, no effort look that he always had. And she loved it. Every minute of looking at his face, or really just him in general, put her in a better mood. Ever since he had saved her when she fell out of that tower and she thought that no one was there to save her, she had started to gain a crush on him. And now she would go as far as to say that she loved him even. She was shocked out of her thought with a hand waving in front of her face. She zoned back in and there was Natsu waving his hand.
She blushed a bit when he said, "What were you staring at Luce? It really seemed like you were just staring at me!" He began to laugh, and she nervously chuckled along with him. She looked away and fidgeted.
She then felt a warm hand grab hers. She looked up at Natsu who had the same big smile on his face that he always had, and everything seemed normal besides the fact that he was holding her hand.
"Come with me Lucy, I have somethin' to show ya!" The dragonslayer said joyfully, as he dragged Lucy out of the guildhall and into the back grass behind it.
"Natsu- Where are we-" She looked around at a beautiful field with a circle in the middle.
He pushed her into the circle and said, "Stand in the middle of this and don't move. I don't want to hurt you, and it's gunna be really cool!"
She stood, confused, in the circle waiting for something to happen. She noticed on the ground there was a black liquid clinging to the grass. She realized what it was.
"Natsu why is there oil on the grass?"
He smiled at her when she said this, and sparked a small flame in his hand. "Because I'm trying to work more on being able to control my fire, and this was a really cool way I found that I wanted to show you! Just stand still!"
He said the last part as he sent the small ball of fire flying at the oil, and it immediately ignited, trapping her in it.
"What are you doing are you crazy?!" Lucy screamed as a large ring of fire burst up from the oil about 4 feet away from her on all sides.
She could tell that Natsu wasn't trying to kill her because of the placement of the circle being farther away rather than at her feet, but what was he doing?!
"Look Luce, I know that it may seem crazy right now, but wait a few seconds!" He said as he focused on the fire.
The orange fire began to flicker a few seconds later, and then it started to climb and grow. He moved it all the way up until it was over her head and she looked up at it.
"Natsu did you do that?!" She heard a happy laugh and then,
"Yeah isn't it cool? I've been doing this for the past few days, and I wanted to show someone today so I decided to show you!"
She huffed. So this wasn't a special outing with just her and him. It could've been her or GuildArts or Master Makarov. She focused back on the fire when it started doing waves around her. One part of the circle would rise and another part would fall. Natsu was doing all of this? He was really getting good at controlling his fire.
That's when it started to register with Lucy... It was really hot in here. She was sweating, and Natsu wasn't showing signs of stopping playing with the fire, so she thought about what she could do, and she had an idea. Today would be the day because she had just developed a plan. She took off her shirt seductively because she knew that he could see her, and called,
"Natsu! It's hot as hell in here!"
Natsu, who had obviously heard or seen her, stopped the wave from going around the fire, and brought the fire back down to where it was before.
"Wh-What was that Luce?" He said looking at her now topless form. All she was wearing now was a pink miniskirt, her chain, her shoes, and a black lacy bra that had hints of see-through patches on it. She looked at him staring at her sweaty body and her bra and smiled. Today could finally be the day!
"Was it really that hot in there Luce? I've never felt it... Probably because it's my fire."
He smiled and his face went back like nothing happened, but it had! She'd seen him staring with her own eyes didn't she? She huffed and he opened up a path through the fire for her to walk out of. She speedily got out before he could close it and trap her back in there. She walked past Natsu and as she did he stared at her in curiosity. She didn't walk towards the guild hall though, she walked into the forest to get some time to think. She started to walk to one part of the forest in particular, still rather hot from the fire. She walked into the clearing that she was looking for and smiled. It was such a beautiful place with a large weeping willow in the corner towards the left side. She went and stood in the shade because other than still being hot from the fire, it was a hot day. She threw her shirt down on the ground and stretched up in the shade.
"Mmm... What I wouldn't give for a cool breeze..." She smiled and as if the weather had heard her, she felt a cool breeze. It was colder than she expected, but she was content. She started to get suspicious when it got extremely cold and she felt puffs of moisture land and melt on her skin. She opened her eyes, hands hugging around her chest for warmth, and looked around for the source of the wind. The source had their head turned away for less than a second and then looked back at Lucy.
They froze, she called, "GREY!" The ice wizard panicked and contemplated running but decided that there was no point because she had already seen her. He came out of the bushes with his arms up, in a position of surrender.
"Were you WATCHING me from the bushes?!" Lucy asked in shock. Grey's face went through a lot of emotions while he was thinking. He must have settled on one because he started to speak,
"Ok. No I wasn't- I mean I kind of was- but that's not WHY I'm here! Look- I was training in a clearing over there! You can come see if you want! They're probably starting to melt but..." He saw Lucy's look and continued with the important part because she wasn't having any of his stalling to see if she would forgive him. He sighed and continued.
"I heard someone walking through the forest so I stopped my training and walked over to here. I saw you in the clearing and I hid because I knew that if you saw me you would kill me because... Well..." He gestured to her in a bra.
She slightly nodded, confirming his theory.
"So I stayed put thinking about what to do, and right when I was gunna leave you said you wanted a cool breeze and I just... I don't know... Did you a favor? I guess that's what you could say. But after a few seconds I went back to thinking about how to escape and lost focus and the wind turned to snowy ice wind." He took a deep breath. "So that's my story... I'm sorry?"
He said, not thinking that that would be good enough for the blonde.
"You made it sound like you weren't staring at all."
She said, putting her hands at her hips. He blushed a bit and rubbed the back of his head,
"Umm... I mean I guess I did stare a little, I'm sorry Luce."
She gave him a good knock on the side of his head, not like an Erza hit but enough to get her point across. He flinched at it and started to rub at that spot on his head instead.
"I deserved that." He muttered, quietly.
Lucy looked at him, thinking about what to say, but it was harder because half her mind was still on Natsu. Grey saw the thought and worry in her face, and asked her,
"Hey Luce... Is this troubling you this much?"
She looked up at him with a bittersweet smirk on her face.
"No... No it's not this Grey. I'm not really extremely upset with you." He huffed. "Well, I mean I guess that's better than you being infuriated with me."
She chuckled and thought about what to say, then finally spoke,
"It's about... Well it's about Natsu. I've been trying to get it through to him that I like him but... Nothing is working!"
She huffed and sat down. She picked back up her shirt and put it on. He half smiled at her,
"Yeah I know how hard it is to get things through to him... But I'm sure hell come around. He might just take a little... Coaxing."
She nodded at him, and then she stopped. She had an idea. She looked at him and smiled, then ran forward and gave him a hug. She squeezed him tightly and he blushed at the feeling of her breasts on his bare chest.
"Luce- What are you doing?!" She looked up at him.
"I have a plan."
((EDITED (2/14/15): Ok 1. Happy Valentines Day! and 2. I AM. SO SORRY. I looked at my reviews and they were very positive but they both said "Please next time space it out or something." So I thought- "Oh it can't be that bad." And I was... Disgusted... Appalled. I don't usually write like that I swear. I'm a pretty educated writer usually... But something just happened. Probably because I wrote most of it at 6:30 in the morning on the bus to school and I was tired. Yeah... That's probably the reason. Anyway, to end, Happy Valentines Day my Noodles! My gift to you is making this so much better and more readable. See you next time guys!))
