Hi, everyone :^)
I decided to put it to a vote on which fic I'll start after Texting Fire.
This is the second option, the first one was The Embers of a Mix Up.
Please let me know which fic you want me to continue!
Thank you so much!
XOXOX
"Detention?" Lucy echoed the words of Aquarius-sensei.
"Detention," She barked back and then an evil grin formed on her lips, "Let's make it Saturday detention. Be at the school at 9 AM sharp. You will be cleaning the research lab, room 304."
"Awww, c'mon," a pink haired boy moaned. A pink haired boy who Lucy currently despised.
"But-but-but," Lucy stammered.
"No buts," Aquarius-sensei smirked. "Now get out of here before I decide to give you more detention."
They scampered out of her office in fear.
"Well this sucks," Natsu sighed, walking next to Lucy with his hands shoved into his pockets.
Lucy remained quiet.
"Well at least I'm not alone this time…" Natsu exhaled. He gave Lucy a sideways glance. The girl had her head down, her long, blonde hair curtained her face. "Last time I got Saturday detention, I was by myself…Felt like solitary confinement."
Lucy still didn't talk.
"Lucy?"
Nothing.
He poked her side, "Luccyy?"
Lucy's head finally snapped up, her eyes so deadly, Natsu flinched. "This is all your fault!"
Natsu's brows furrowed in, "No it's not!"
Lucy threw her hands up, "How is it not your fault? You're the one who pulled us into a freaken closet!"
"For good reasons!" Natsu grumbled.
"What would those good reasons be exactly?" Lucy seethed through her teeth.
Natsu didn't answer, he only looked away.
Natsu's silence made Lucy angrier so she stormed ahead of him.
XOXOX
"Lucy," Levy said, "is it true you were found in Closet 17B with Natsu?"
All the girls stopped talking and looked over at the miserable blonde to hear her response.
Lucy could only nod a yes.
Cana burst out laughing, "Seriously? Damn! I never thought that I would see the day when Natsu Dragneel brings a girl into Closet 17B!"
"I'm not too surprised," Mira grinned, "Natsu always seemed to have a soft spot for Lucy."
Lucy's face flushed, "Don't say stuff like that! It's not what you think!"
"Then what is it, Lucy?" Lisanna asked, her face was slightly flushed as well.
"Well—I…" Lucy twiddled her thumbs, unsure of what to say, "I don't know…We didn't do anything! And Natsu wouldn't tell me why he pulled me into the closet with him…"
The girls all screeched with happiness.
"He was totally going to have his way with you," Cana fussed.
"Aww!" Levy cooed, "Lucy almost had her first kiss!"
Cana stood up and walked behind Lucy, wrapping her hands around Lucy's breasts, "Bet he wanted to feel these knockers."
"CANA!" Lucy cried "LET GO!"
"My, my," Mira blushed.
"Cana, maybe you should let go…" Lisanna sweat-dropped.
"But I love Lucy's boobies!" Cana whined, squeezing harder.
"Well I see the girls are pretty frisky today," a deep voice called. Everyone's head snapped over to see an uncomfortable-looking Gray and a tense Natsu. Lucy and Natsu made eye contact and Lucy shot him a glare before snapping her head away.
Cana finally let go and plopped down on the bench next to Levy.
Natsu begrudgingly took his usual seat, right between Lisanna and Lucy and Gray sat across from them, next to Mira.
"Hey-ey, Lucy," Natsu stiffly smiled.
Lucy crossed her arms over her chest and turned her body to face the other direction.
"Ouch," Cana smirked. "So, Natsu, rumor has it you whisked Lucy off into the closet of loovveee."
Gray laughed, "Oh right! What was that about? Everyone's talking about it."
"Yeah," Levy agreed, "I even heard Gildarts-sensei mention it!"
"What?" Lucy was horrified. How did everyone know about this already? It only happened about an hour ago…
"That's my dad for ya," Cana smirked.
Gray inquired, "So what exactly did you two do in the closet?"
"NOTHING!" Lucy sobbed.
"What she said," Natsu grunted.
"But people were saying they heard moaning…very umm…sensual female moaning," Levy informed them with a blush on her cheeks.
"What?" Everyone gasped and turned their stares over to Natsu and Lucy.
Lucy sputtered, "That's because Natsu thought it would be a great idea to smack his hand over my mouth and gag me!"
"For good reasons," Natsu carelessly shrugged.
"I heard that Natsu let out a lustful groan," Erza now joined the table.
Everybody gasped even louder.
"IT WAS A GROAN OF DISGUST!" Natsu roared. He finally seemed bothered by all the gossip. "SHE LICKED MY FRICKEN HAND!" he waved the assaulted appendage for emphasis.
"Well that's a little bit kinky," Cana murmured.
Natsu and Lucy both blanched.
"Well if you two weren't doing anything," Gray said, "then why the hell were you in Closet 17B?"
"Ask Natsu," Lucy growled.
All eyes were on the spikey-haired boy, but Natsu kept his mouth shut.
"I remember my first time in Closet 17B," Cana mused. "It was the first time I ever—ffff," hands were slapped over her mouth.
"We don't need to know anything, Cana," Lisanna said frantically.
"We don't want to know anything either," Levy added.
"I'm kind of curious," Gray and Mira murmured.
Erza was madly blushing, "Fir-first ti-time?"
Lucy, however, wasn't amused. She gathered up her belongings and got up.
"Lucy," Natsu called out to her.
"Don't talk to me, Natsu," she snapped before leaving.
Natsu quickly grabbed his book bag and chased after the seething blonde.
"I almost feel bad for the bastard," Gray mused.
XOXOX
A hand grabbed Lucy's shoulder, halting her from walking any further.
"Didn't you get my not-so-subtle hint that I don't want to talk to you, Natsu?" Lucy glowered, smacking his hand off her.
"Lucy," he sounded frustrated, "you're makin' too big of a deal about detention."
She whirled around, throwing her hands up, "And you're making too light of a deal about detention!"
Natsu cheekily grinned, "Well it is only detention, not a death sentence, ya know."
"It might as well be," Lucy turned away from him, crossing her arms. "After my father gets through with me…"
"Huh?" Natsu furrowed. "What do you me—?"
"Nothing," Lucy interrupted him. She went to walk away again, but Natsu grabbed her arm and Lucy tried to ignore how nice and warm it felt…
"Lucy," his face turned suddenly serious, "your father doesn't…hit you or anything, right?"
Lucy's face paled, "Of course not! He would never lay a hand on me! What kind of accusation is that?" Again, she smacked his hand off of her.
Natsu's face dusted pink as he threw his arms up in the air, "It sounded like you were hinting towards it!"
"I wasn't!" Lucy blushed back. "He's just going to chew my ear off with lectures is what I meant, stupid!"
"Sorry!" Natsu put his palms towards her as a sign of a truce, but then his face twisted up with anger and confusion, "If that's all he's gonna do to you…then why the hell are you so pissed off at me?"
"I…" Lucy looked away, her face flaming.
"Lucy?" His voice was so soft and gentle…her heart began to race.
"Because…you're just a jerk!" And with that said, she stomped away.
"What a weirdo," Natsu sighed to himself as he watched the blonde stalk off.
XOXOX
Saturday detention had finally arrived.
She walked into the lab room just as Aquarius Sensei had commanded.
She was the first one there.
Lucy desperately wanted to get it over with it.
The sooner detention was done, the sooner she could continue to ignore Natsu.
She knew she was hurting him, but on technicality, he had hurt her. Who drags their best friend into Closet 17B? Lucy still couldn't stop blushing from the memory.
It was a rather small closet and they were pressed together, not due to the lack of room, but because Natsu had clutched her to his chest…
"Lucy?" A small, feminine voice interrupted her reverie.
Lucy turned around and gasped, "Levy? What are you doing here?"
"Detention," Levy sheepishly smiled.
Lucy's eyes bugged, "YOU GOT DETENTION?"
"Ahh," Levy clamped her hand over Lucy's mouth. "Not so loud, Lucy!"
"Sorry!" Lucy apologized after Levy removed her hand. "What happened?"
"I'd rather not say," Lucy rubbed her head and looked away.
Lucy was about to press more on the topic, but another voice interrupted.
"Hey, Lucy, Levy."
"Gray?" Levy gasped.
"Gray?" Lucy blinked.
"That would be me," Gray grinned. "Looks like you won't have to be alone with that Assflame for detention, Lucy."
"Actually I have detention too," Levy said.
Gray ogled in disbelief, "YOU HAVE DETENTION?"
"Not so loud!" Levy flushed.
"What did you do?" Gray asked.
"I don't want to say," Levy hid her face in her hands.
"Alright," Gray decided not to push.
"So what did you do, Gray?" Lucy asked. "Did that stupid jerk pull you into Closet 17B as well?"
"Ugh, no!" Gray shuddered. "I got into a stupid fight with Lyon—"
"Was it over Juvia again?" Levy inquired.
"Maybe," Gray blushed.
"Lyon got detention also?" Lucy questioned.
"Nah," Gray sighed. "That bastard got away scot free."
"Who got away with what?" A new voice joined the party.
"ERZA?!" All three gaped.
She smiled with slight bitterness.
"How the hell did you get detention?" Gray incredulously asked.
"Apparently it's unacceptable to verbally scold students," Erza shrugged.
Every one sweat-dropped.
"Scold?" A gruff voice joined in. "That was more like a death threat…"
"Gajeel!" Levy's face light up, but then it turned a bright shade of red as she bashfully looked away.
"What are you in for?" Lucy asked.
"None of your business, Bunny Girl!" Gajeel barked.
Lucy scowled at him.
"Be nice, Gajeel," Levy chided.
Gajeel shot her a glare and turned away.
"Wow," a new voice entered the room. "Looks like a party in here."
"Great," Gray rolled his eyes, "the flaming idiot has arrived."
"Oi, shut it, Ice Dick!" Natsu snarled and then his eyes met Lucy's, who, in return, quickly averted hers.
"Yo-o, Lucy" Natsu tried to sound causal, but completely failed.
She ignored him, "So it says here," she picked up a note left on the table, "we need to clean this room until it is spotless and then we may go."
"Alright," Gray sighed.
And then Erza stood up on the table. "Lucy, you get that corner over there, Levy, you go help her. Gray, you and Natsu take that side, and Gajeel and I will fix up over here!"
Everyone broke into their groups and began their cleaning.
There was a strange tank over on Lucy's end. She stared into it, but it looked empty.
Though what was really peculiar was that there was a light lit inside it, as though to keep it warm or something…
Lucy taped on the glass, waiting for something to pop out.
"Lucy!"
"KYA!" She jumped and turned around, "Levy, you scared me."
"Sorry," Levy smiled softly. "I just wanted to tell you not to touch the tank. There's a lot of warning signs around it, see?"
Lucy looked at the wall behind the tank and sure enough there were signs saying, Do not touch, or Do not open, and also If opened, please call this number immediately and say CODE GREEN.
"Oops," Lucy blushed, rubbing her head. "My bad."
And then she went back to work.
XOXOX
"WHY DON'T YOU SHOVE IT UP YOUR—" Natsu was in the midst of saying before Gray struck him in the jaw.
"THAT WAS A CHEAP SHOT!" Natsu yelled, rubbing his sore jaw.
"Was not," Gray smirked.
"Was too!" Natsu argued.
"Was not—" Gray was punched to the floor.
"I can't stand you two arguing!" Erza growled. "It is very annoying!"
"Natsu started it!" Gray stated as he stood up.
"No I didn't!" Natsu glowered at him.
"Yes you did!"
"No I didn't!"
They were butting heads now.
Lucy was getting nervous, they were creeping closer to her for some reason.
"SHUT UP!" Erza hit both boys with such a force, that they knocked right into Lucy.
"KYAAA," Lucy arms flailed up in the air as she tried to find something to latch on to, but there was nothing but empty space around her.
The boys and Erza had gone back to arguing and Levy was still cleaning, paying no attention to anything and Gajeel watched them with dull amusement.
As Lucy fell backwards, she bumped into the tank, before colliding with the floor. "Oww…" She moaned.
She heard creaking above her. She looked up and with aa horrified expression, she watched the tank wobble back and forth. Please don't fall! She begged.
But it did.
Lucy crawled back as fast as she could just as it crashed to the floor, just narrowly missing Lucy.
"AHHH," Lucy covered her face with her arms as glass and whatever strange stuff was in that tank showered all over her.
Less than a second later, a burning sensation surged into her eyes. "My eyes!" She frantically rubbed them.
Everyone else in the room started coughing.
"Lucy! Don't *cough* do that!" Levy ran over to the blonde to help her up, "Gajeel, help me!"
Lucy let out wails of pain.
Gajeel didn't hesitate as he grasped the blonde's arm. "C'mon, Bunny Girl, you'll be alright."
"Let's get her to the sink! There's an eyewash faucet there." Levy commanded.
Natsu, Gray, and Erza watched with shocked expressions, each one feeling equally guilty.
"Call for help," Levy commanded to the trio as she gently tilted Lucy's head down to flush out her eyes. "There's a phone number taped to the wall!"
"Ri-right" Erza stuttered as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed the number on the call. "WE HAVE A CODE GREEN!"
And then she hung up, "Help is on the way."
"C'mon, Lucy," Levy cooed. "It's alright." She brushed the glass off of Lucy as Lucy continued to flush out her eyes.
The burning sensation dulled slightly as Lucy pulled her face away from the sink.
"You three!" Lucy, with teary eyes, glared at Natsu, Gray, and Erza, "Are total idiots!"
"Sorry, Lucy," they apologized.
"Whatever," she crossed her arms and looked away.
"Lucy," Natsu walked over to her and gently pried one of her arms away from her chest. Lucy gave in to Natsu's light touch.
His hand delicately glided down her forearm to her hand and entwined their fingers.
Lucy's heart stuttered.
"Lucy," he said again, but this time, his voice was breathy. He looked deeply into her eyes. Lucy wanted to look away, but she couldn't. "I'm—"
"ATTENTION!" A loud voice from outside the school called. "THIS IS A STAGE 4 QUARANTINE!"
"What?" Lucy gasped as she and Natsu shared a horrified look before dashing over to the window. The others followed after.
There were a bunch of people wearing strange-looking, full body suits.
"I REPEAT," a guy holding a megaphone out of the bunch shouted. "THIS IS A STAGE 4 QUARANTINE!"
Everyone shared a look of pure panic.
"THE SCHOOL IS ON LOCK DOWN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!"
This can't be happening…
Lucy felt light-headed.
The only thing keeping her from fainting was Natsu's thumb rubbing soothing circles on the back of her hand.
XOXOX
I'm leaning more towards this fic.
What do you think?!
Do you all want me to continue this one instead?!
Thanks for reading!
