Here's my new story! hope you like it hehe
Natsu
I knock on Lucy's apartment door,
"Luuucy" I shouted from the outside.
"Wait" she replied from the inside.
"Hurry up," I yelled again, "we're going to be late" and no respond. Suddenly Lucy's door is burst open, revealing Lucy in her school uniform with Layla behind her. "Here's Natsu, for your breakfast," Layla offered me a bread. "Thanks," I accept the bread and quickly yanking Lucy's wrist, "come on" I hissed at her.
"Wait!" Lucy hissed back and quickly kiss her mom cheek, geez a seventeen year old girl who still kiss her mom cheek before leaving to school.
"A bit grumpy" Layla mocked me.
"He always is in the morning" Lucy answered as I hissed at both of them with Layla laughing at us.
Soon, we both inside the elevator. I sighed, how long do I have to keep on doing this? My mom and Lucy's mom is best-friend as in best friend forever, since they both moved in to this apartment. I get the 8th floor while Lucy stayed on the 4th floor. Lucy and I is inseparable when we were kids, we always play together every time our mom meet each other. When we both still in our elementary school, we always go every where together, we went to school together, we came home together, but since we both reached Junior High it turns from always to sometimes. One time when I hang out with Gray and the others, Lucy came home alone and got assaulted with some punks on the street, I explode at that time, of course and since then, my mom always insist me that I should go to school with Lucy and came home with her, like it or not, as in everyday. Without even me realizing it, that my mom already make me as Lucy's personal bodyguard.
"Stop doing that," She demanded, a little anger hinted in her voice.
"Doing what?" I asked nonchalantly looking at her who stood still beside me.
"Chattering your teeth" she turn to glare at me, "It's annoying"
"I always do that," I paused, "you know I can't stand being in the elevator" I catch a glimpse of her gold locks with the corner of my eye. I can see that her eyebrow is knitted together in annoyance, but I can't help it myself that I have that feeling of enjoy every time I annoyed her.
"Then why don't you use the stairs," she hissed. Great, even though it's only morning this whole pointless argument thing is already started. I always get to think that maybe Lucy is magician, she always turn a normal conversation into an argument, geez.
"Don't want to,"
"It's annoying please," she stares at me, really wanting me to stop. Now why with the sudden Lucy? For seventeen years of my life, we've been together in the elevator for like fifteen years and I always keep chattering my teeth, and you never mentioned it before how you feel about it. I stopped. "Thanks" she said.
"Don't mention it" I paused. So I hummed a single note and count from one to ten to make me calm inside the elevator beside chattering my teeth, which I really love to. When I finished I turn to her, which she seems doesn't bothered about me humming a note, so I asked, "Is it really annoying for me to chatter my teeth?"
She turns to look at me. "Want to trade place with me?"
I seem to hesitate in answering her question, but I say, "No thanks" I hummed again as I look at her who has this annoyed look plastered on her face. "Are you pmsing?" She glared at me and kicked me. Yeah she's definitely in her bitchy mood.
As we arrived at school, we rightly meet by Levy. "Hi Lu-chan, Natsu" she waved at us as I nodded, but Lucy already tangling her in a hug. "Oi Lucy" I called at her as she glared at me. "You have any club today?" I asked as she hissed at me. "How many times do I have to tell you! It's Thursday and I don't have any club on Thursday!" I sighed covering up my ears, "Geez I was only asking no need to yell" I paused as I walked ahead of them, "what is wrong with you this morning?" I turn around to see them walking behind me, they didn't respond. Instead Levy asked, "It must be hard for you Natsu to take care of your little childhood friends" I snorted at Levy as I scoffed, well Levy I guess you already know what the answer is anyway. "Well, see you later Lucy" I grinned at Lucy which she only returned with a pout and annoyed face as I walked ahead leaving them behind.
"Have you seen Jellal?" The red-haired little devil of a friend of mine asked.
"No, Erza" Gray sighed looking at her.
"What's up with you and Jellal lately?" I asked at Erza.
"We," she paused and exhaled slowly like some depressed girl would do. "We have our problems, but we're not fighting" she smiled reassuringly, waving her hand off. I don't understand a thing she's saying, but I nod anyway.
"What did you do this time?" Gray raised an eyebrow. Seems that Gray understand what she meant.
"I didn't do anything" she shook her head.
"Liar" I noted, grinning at her knowing she must have been hiding something, because she is Erza, she is the typical Erza who hide her problems anyway even though there's load of people who cares and want to help especially me and Gray.
"Okay," she finally giving in. "I may be a bit compulsive lately and so demanding towards him, but there's a girl who keeps flirting with him, even though he only said that it was a friendly gestures, but…" she trailed off, looking up to the class ceiling as if she's looking for words. "But I don't see it like that, and we didn't talk about it clearly, we only pretend like it's nothing, but well you know it's killing me" she admitted.
"What did you do to her?"
"The girl?" we both nodded. "I almost got her killed" both, Gray and I shocked to death. Women are vicious! Plus, it's Erza we talked about. God, how dangerous woman can be when they were in jealous mode? I shuddered.
"Don't sweat it Erza," Gray said munching down his snacks he bought earlier.
"Yeah," I added. "Even though you're crazy compulsive and else, Jellal would still stay with you anyway, he already stay with you for years"
"Thanks" she snorted. "I have to go, I have to take care about this new kid in my class" She turn her body around with her long hair swinging following the motion, the beautiful scarlet colored hair. "See you later guys!" she smiled and wave.
Gray scrunched his nose in front of me. "What is wrong with you?!" I asked. "I forgot to tell you this," he paused, "about the new guy" he added. I glared at him and resting my face on my desk, I say, "What's with him?" I asked, clearly not interested in this kind of conversation, beside the new guy? I never met him, and I only know there's a new guy from Erza mentioning it before. He put his flat palms against my right shoulder, "He has the hot for Lucy" he said staring at me. I explode, I quickly raise my head and sit straight, with his arm falling off from my shoulder. "WHAT LUCY?" I stare back at him. "Yeah, I saw him earlier, all drooling over Lucy" he informed.
"He has the hot for Lucy…?" I repeated,
"Yeah, I mean it's impossible not to, with her body like that," I quickly smack him in the head.
"Don't talk about Lucy like that" I snorted at him.
"What is wrong with you? I know that she's your childhood friend and all but let her have fun with a guy for once in a while, she's seventeen you idiot"
"Unfortunately I would be the first person my mom killed if Lucy got hurt" I retorted.
Gray sighed, with a little hint of smirk. "Why all the woman around you is so violent?" I shrugged to that, and what Gray said is true. Erza, Mom, Lucy even Wendy my little sister is all so violent to me, they always said I'm annoying and an idiot while Erza simply hit me whenever she wants to. "You sure it's only your mom that want to make sure that Lucy is safe?"
I hummed a single note for ten seconds, to clear my head and finally have the conclusion to answer what Gray asked earlier. "Well, beside her own family, I'm pretty sure"
Lucy
What is wrong with this new guy in my class? He's pretty cute, not as in handsome or completely charming, and definitely not like Natsu who have this ridiculous charm inside and that toothily grin and a stress relieved smile, he's just a simple goofy boy named Dan, which I recall, he doesn't stop bothering me since the first period. He keeps chanting about me being his love and how he already falling and deeply madly in love with me the first time he saw me. Talk about falling in love at first sight. "Would you please quit it?" I asked at him, clearly feeling annoyed about him. "Lu-chan," Levy said behind me with a concerned look but still managed to laugh. "You're annoying" I hissed at Dan.
"Such rude manner for such a beautiful young lady," He said, it feels like the clever words and pretty words always out of his mouth endlessly, now why Natsu can't say that? "Just let me escort you home and make sure you're safe" he kissed the back of my hand nonchalantly as I taken off guard.
I quickly pull back my hand and kept it to my chest. What is wrong with this guy? I clearly didn't like him, and of course I find him annoying, but why he keeps bugging me? Even though I already told him that I didn't like him back but he keeps insisting me that I actually have feelings for him, which clearly I don't. "Natsu," Levy realized the appearance of Natsu behind me. I quickly turn around just to meet a guy with his pink hair, messy as always, and his onyx eyes looking at me and with those freaking sexy grin! I mean how come such a perfect person is allowed to exist and torture me for just being a childhood friend?
"Hi, Lucy, Levy," he raised his hand at us. "Uh," he tried to look farther behind me, "Hi, the new guy" he added.
"His name is Dan," Levy said with a giggle, knowing her for a long time, she probably giggles because she tried to give Natsu a hint about what's going on between me and Dan, but well good luck to that Levy, since Natsu is the densest person ever existed.
Natsu ignored what Levy said as he looks at me and says, "Come on Lucy, let's go home"
"I'm sorry young boy, but Princess is coming home with me for today," Dan interrupted from behind, great.
Natsu blinked his eyes, once and twice… and laughed. God, I know he would laugh. "Who's the princess? Are you the princess Lucy?" he asked blankly at all of us. Can Natsu stop being so irrationally annoying and be serious for a moment? But beside all of that taking all the opportunity given to me today, maybe it's not the bad thing going home with Dan anyway, I mean, Natsu never even think of me as a girl or even show any interest in me, and I have a pretty nice boobs, and some assets, but he keeps thinking that I was a five year old kid who is vulnerable and a weak person, maybe if I took Dan offering then maybe he'll eventually realize that he actually missing something great from me.
"Actually, Natsu," I looked up at him since he was a few inches taller than me. Ignoring me completely, Natsu ruffled up my hair as I pout because I hate it but liking it every time he does that. "I'm sorry but she's off limit" He showed that toothily grin nonchalantly showing off his sharp canines. Do you really want me to go nuts Natsu? With your ridiculously annoying but lovely grin that melted my heart. He quickly wrapped an arm around my shoulder as he waved goodbye to Levy and so we went home together.
"Here put this on" he said absentmindedly as he throw his sweater to me.
Thanks Natsu, is what I really want to say but instead, I say, "What's with this sweater? It's stink! You've been playing soccer with it right?"
"Just put it on! Someone so tiny and a wimp like you can be freeze to death" he smirked half mocking at me. I grunted as I scrunch my nose bridge in aggravation, "How come you know I played soccer?" he asked after I put on his sweater, feeling warm and collected and pretty intimate with him.
"You have scratch and dirt all over you" I said cockily as I can see him eyeing every part of his body, "here" I lend him some band-aid and hold it in front of his face as he grinned.
"Thanks!" he turn to me and took the band-aid. "I never knew you always brought band-aid with you" he commented which I didn't respond as he easily rip the cover and put it on. Of course you moron, you always have yourself get scratched or wounded every time since we were kids and I always be the one who took care of you, of course I brought band-aid every day. He ruffled up my hair again as my heart fluttered at the gesture he made.
GOD, STOP MESSING WITH A GIRL HEART NATSU!
Be calm and collected Lucy. It's just a friendly gesture, there is absolutely nothing behind what Natsu said about me. He's too busy fighting and getting strong and playing games and taking care of his cats and sleeping of course, there is no single time in his life to reluctantly care about love.
"You missed your note today when you're in music class," he said whistling not looking at me instead at the river beside us.
"What?! How do you know that?!" I asked at him practically yanking his wrist, demanding to look at me. He turned to me and laughed, and I can feel I already blushing.
"It's easy" he paused between his laughs. "I heard you all the time when you're practicing so I can easily tell when I was on the field that it was you playing" he pinch my right cheek. "Don't worry about you missing a note, it's not like the end of the world" he laughed as he now pinching both of my cheeks and I only hissed at him which he returned with a widely toothily grin that I adore.
I noticed Natsu stop chattering when we were in the elevator, maybe because I told him that he was annoying when he do that this morning, when actually I don't mind him chattering his teeth until it's rotten, he just annoyed me this morning and I can't put my finger on it but at school I realized, he always is annoying. "I bet you think that you look cool with those band-aid plastered around you" I hit Natsu in the arm hard, mocking him.
"SHUT UP!" blush coated his cheeks. He's so cute. I giggle, "Where's my thanks?" he raised an eyebrow at me. "For what?" I asked back at him acting like I don't know anything. He starts leaning in closer as he pressed his forehead into mine as I can feel my heart flutter and blush crept up to my cheeks. "I saved you from that Dan, idiot" he murmured as I can feel his hot breath and he leans in more closer and our nose is touching, brushing slightly against each other, feeling weightless and heavy at the same time. Should I kiss him? Or is he already planning on kissing me? We sure are alone, especially we are alone in the elevator! The doors still closing and I quietly crossed my finger on the side hoping it's not going to reach my floor sooner. "I-I don't think he's th-that bad" I managed to say stupid things, but I still want to make Natsu jealous somehow. "Why are you stuttering?" he smirk devilishly at me as he step forward making me step backward and hit the elevator wall as he put his flat palms against the wall beside my head, each. I am completely trapped, mentally and metaphorically. Because I can't find myself move an inch with his well-built arms around me and his onyx eyes practically looking into mine, I feel like I'm hypnotized. I am seriously head over heels for him. He leaned in more closer than he already are, feeling that maybe he really might want to kiss me as in now! Wait, I'm not ready yet, do I feel good? Do I even taste good? I never kissed a boy before especially because this pink-head idiot always getting on my way with boys… but, "Ding!" the elevator ring as he abruptly pulled out his face from mine, DAMN ELEVATOR! I sighed in relieved that I don't have to kiss Natsu because I'm not ready yet but still, I am little bit of disappointed why he didn't just continue with the kissing as we are mere inches away. "Why'd you stop?" I asked not looking up to meet his eyes because I'm to embarrassed. "Stop at what?" he asked as I looked up to meet him only staring into the open door and murmuring something about him wanting to eat fried chicken for dinner.
"Idiot" I spat at him as I walked out from the elevator door as he only gives me this confused look. When I was about to walk away from the elevator Natsu yelled my name, I turn around to see his face between the elevator door that is about to close with his both arms holding the side so it won't close. "What?" I hissed glaring at him with the corner of my eyes, blush still in my cheeks.
My annoyed and embarrassed self only meet by his wide idiotic zero stress grin, he say, "Meet me later on at the rooftop! There's something I want to show you" to that he pulled his face inside and the door closed as the elevator take him to the 8th floor not letting me to respond if I want to meet him or not later on… but of course the only conclusion I can came up with, is of course I want to see him, even if I don't I probably found himself dragging me out all the way to the rooftop.
What is wrong with Natsu! He almost just kiss me, on the lips! Not some friendly kiss on the cheek! What is he actually planning to do? We're friends, doesn't he ever have the thought about that maybe if we kiss, the things between us can go weird and stuff, I mean best-friend don't do kissing right? I never kissed a boy before, I triedd but I always find myself failed miserably. I do get interested in other boys, but only as in interested not letting in develop into a crush or even worse, love. Because I always find Natsu didn't care about my, either my physical appearance or even my true self, because he keeps reluctantly acts the same each and every day, being the master of the dense idiot that is, but even though I hate that part of him, in the end I always found myself falling again for that sleepyhead. Took example as today, he acts like it was nothing while clearly he tried to kiss me. God! Boys, and they say we're complicated?
Natsu is completely an airhead. It's obvious enough that our friendship is going to change somehow, sooner or later, we're going to college next year, and everything can be fucking ruined between me and Natsu, and of course here I am having a feeling over him, that I can't get over with, and even while I'm clearly thinking about my bizarre relationship with him, I bet he already munching down his fried chicken by now. I guess, I just can't helped it, if Natsu is drastically changed I might not even liked him. I already fall for the boy who have crooked smile with all of my crooked heart.
Later on that night I realized it's November and it's time for Leo Meteor Shower. "Natsu" I gasped as I look around my surroundings, it looked so pretty as the pitch dark night sky illuminated with a meteor shower, "told you I took you to see this meteor again" the view did take my breath away as it really was an mesmerizing view, but Natsu face with his stupid grin plastered on his face is the one that is breathtaking. I didn't respond anything as we both stare blankly at the vast sky up ahead, as if in this vastness of space and the immensities of time, it is truly a joy to stop for once in while and spend time with Natsu with none of us talked as we both only stare in one common thing as if we have telepathy.
It feels like I am sharing a planet with Natsu.
I closed my eyes and opened it again still mesmerize with the view no matter how much I look at it. I've been watching Leo Meteor Shower with Natsu since we were kids, and he keeps promise to me that if there's one again he's going to show me, as I can see he do can keep his promise dearly.
"You keep your promise" I smiled at him.
"Yeah," he said sheepishly as he scratch the back of his neck. "I always think that promising to you is the only commitment I can commit until now" he laughed nervously as he exhaled, "beside sleeping of course" so I laughed.
"So you want to watch some movie after this?" I asked try to keep up the conversation.
He hummed again, lately he do a lot of humming, when I asked, it's because his mother told him that it can keeps your mind clear for a minute, since before he do all of this humming he's definitely a hot-headed person. "Foreign films?" he asked and I nodded, as he quickly shook his head in disagreement. "Don't want to" he paused, "you know I hate foreign film Lucy," he whined, "they don't have happy endings" oh yeah have I ever told you that Natsu is a sucker for happy endings?
"Romantic then?" I asked as he growled. He shook his head for the second time, "have you even ever watched romantic movie?" I asked laughing at him.
"I have!" he retorted. "I watched Wall-E" he lightly put his hands on the back of his hand acting so arrogant and proud just by watching some cartoon.
"It's not romantic,"
"It is"
"It's not" now we just arguing again because of small things and stupid matter.
"It is!" He insisted staring at me, "A boy chasing a girl until the end of universe is pretty romantic"
"They're robots"
"Yeah so?"
"So?"
"So" he pressed.
I sighed in defeat in the first time of my lives in debating with Natsu. "Yeah, I think it's romantic too, isn't it?" I flashed him a grin, which he return kindly.
We didn't watch movie that night since we both lost track of time watching the meteor shower while we chat about what's going on in our life. But our beautiful moment is soon ruined with a simple text message.
"Hey, Lucy," Natsu said with his face full of confusion as he showed his phone, a text from Gray showing on the screen, as I lean in closer to take a good look, I was nearly shocked to death. "You have boyfriend?" He asked in disbelief. I tried to read the text once again as I blink my eyes not believing in anything I read,
To: Natsu Dragneel
From: Gray Fullbuster
Oi, blockhead, you finally let your guard down huh? How come Lucy ended up with that new kid! I thought you will never approve of Lucy and Dan being boyfriend and girlfriend
I screamed as Natsu get back, startled by my screaming.
What the hell?
I don't care if I'm a girl and it's inappropriate to practically beat down a guy while Erza does that all the time, tomorrow I will hunt down that bastard for spreading such rumor and of course because Natsu heard about it too!
I hate Dan, I only use him in a way so that Natsu would get jealous which clearly he don't, he doesn't even act like he's care, but BEING DAN GIRLFRIEND? Does this guy ever heard of boundaries? I thought the only person who doesn't know the words boundaries is Natsu, clearly we have a contenders to match Natsu irrational act, god!
I only love and will ever will only love Natsu, don't people just get that?
That is the new chapter! hehehe I can't imagine Natsu watching Wall-E he must be cute! So, should i continue this story? If so, then tell me! And did I tell you that a simple review can make my whole day?
