((Hullo there! I'm going to start with an apology for the last chapter. I got two reviews from two very nice people on the formatting my chapter and how it was just one flat block of text. I thought to myself, "Oh it can't be THAT bad." No. It was terrible. Horrible. Cringe worthy. There wasn't a single indentation in the entire damn thing. Oh my god I am so sorry because it pained me to TRY and read it, and I can't imagine how you guys felt trying to fight your way through navigating through the sea of mess and solid wall of text. Now I have no doubt that you are all avid fanfiction readers and have probably seen stuff along those lines before, but I'm going to edit that chapter and make it better so that people can actually read it without having their eyes flip out on them. Anyway, thank you guys for all the positive feed back! Until next time... I'm going to call you noodles. Because you're all good Noodles. So until next time Noodles!
Sincerely, Fanatic))
Natsu walked home that day in a daze. He thought about earlier today, and the way seeing Lucy like that made him feel. He shook his head and got the thought out of his mind before continuing home to see his friend Happy. He got to his door and stopped. He looked inside, and Happy was asleep. He hesitated before opening the door, and instead of going inside his home, he turned around and sank down to the ground. He rested his head against the wood of the door and closed his eyes. That feeling earlier, what was it? He wasn't as dense as to not know what it was but he just didn't want to admit it. Maybe it'll go away by tomorrow morning... ,He thought to himself. The air outside was getting cooler with the immanent falling of night and it felt so nice with his head against the wood of the door still warm from the sun. He had such a long day that he let himself...
==========================================================================
The fire circle. Natsu was making his fire move when he saw Lucy take her shirt off. She was a beautiful fire goddess dancing in his flames, and the flames brought out the glints of sweat on her body.
"Natsu~" She called seductively. "It's so hot in here!"
He stood, wide eyed and saw her beckon him into the fire with a single finger. He opened a door in his fire and walked in through it. She looked at him and the fire around them went up and down with his every breath. She put a hand on his face and kissed him with passion. He kissed back, with just as much, or even more passion. They fought for dominance with their tongues until she finally broke the kiss. She looked down at his hands. They were on her waits creeping closer and closer to her chest.
He blushed furiously before asking, "Can I-"
She giggled at him. "They're not just here for show silly!" He smiled at her and then reached out and touched them.
They were softer than he'd ever imagined. He squeezed them and she giggled and sighed. Then something odd happened. Lucy called "Natsu!" But it wasn't her voice. It was Happys! "Wha- What did you just say Luce?" She lifted and hand and hit his head. "Wake up, Natsu!"
With that, Natsu jolted awake in front of the house, his hands on Happys head, which was being squished.
"Hey Natsu, could ya let go of my head?" Natsus hands shot back, a blush on his face knowing why they were there to begin with. "You were out here all night!"
He thought about it for a second and then looked around. The sun was up and it was obviously early in a new day. "Oh... I guess I have been."
Happy started to catch on to the lingering blush on Natsus face and his nervous eyes. His face turned mischievous. "So what were ya dreamin about Natsu?" Happy laughed out loud when Natsus look of nervousness turned into shock and panic, even though Natsu tried to hide it.
Natsu looked away from Happy, the blush that had faded now returning. "Mmh... Nothing..." He said, not looking at his blue friend.
He began to recall his dream, all the while his face got redder and he felt the lower areas of his body getting warmer and uncomfortable. He rolled on his side, trying to hide what was going on. He looked back up at happy who was desperately holding in laughter. When he saw Natsu get frustrated he lost it. The small cat fell out of the air and hit the ground. He was rolling around with laughter when Natsu got up and went back into the house, slamming and locking the door behind him. He looked at his old clock on the wall. It was already 10:30! He had to be to the guild hall soon or else people would get suspicious. He looked down at his current "dilemma" and sighed. He had to just wait for it to fix itself he guessed. He started to make himself breakfast, thinking while he did. He thought about the dream for a short time, and then he just thought about Lucy. Her as a person, her body, her face, her brain, her talent, her beauty... It was only after he ate and when he walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him and looking in the mirror, that he said softly to his reflection,
"I love Lucy Heartfilia."
He looked at himself in shock, and then realized that he had to get to the guild hall to see her. He threw on clothes and got ready and then ran out the door.
When Happy screamed at him, "Where are you going so fast?!" Natsu screamed back,
"To do something that I've needed to do for a long time!"
===============================Lucy POV====================================
It was a brilliant plan. Just flawless. She was waiting for Natsu to get here while she smiled to herself at how perfect it actually was. There was only one little problem... But they were out on a job right now. So, as she saw the guild hall door open, she got ready to put her plan in motion.
===============================Natsu POV====================================
He opened the door to the guild to see her sitting on the center table. She had on a pair of acid wash short shorts and a pink bikini top under a crop top made of black mesh. She also had on a black pair of gladiator sandals and her hair was up in a bun. Her whip was at her side as well as her keys, both of them attached to different belt loops. He smiled. She looked so beautiful. He was about to run to her and hug her, put his hands on her hips, her shoulders, her neck, her hips, her legs, god he just wanted to touch her. But that's when he saw something that made everything stop. It made time stop, his heart stop, his mind stop. He was frozen in place, just watching as his newfound dream girl was picked up bridal style and kissed on the forehead by someone he would've never imagined. Grey Fullbuster. He was just there with her in his arms. He spun her, two, three, four times, and then put her down and did something that set everything back in motion. He kissed her. On the mouth.
Natsu clenched his fists so hard that when he opened them, not only were there marks from his nails on his hands, but he had gotten into such a blind rage, that all the smoke from the fire that he didn't even register he was casting poured out from his now opened palms partnered with flames to match. But these flames weren't regular. These flames were the ugliest color he'd ever seen. They were a terrible red with specks of green flecked in. They smelled up the whole guild hall to the point where people started to notice him standing, staring in the doorway. They were red with rage. And green with envy. He got enough control over himself to stop his flames, but he was still raging so much that he was shaking and his vision was blurred. He just wanted to rip his head off. To punch him so hard he would never think about touching Lucy, HIS Lucy, ever again.
But, instead, he just stood there. He felt one warm wet tear flow down his face. He wiped it away right as Lucy looked at him. At first she was smiling. Just... Smiling. He looked at her, how perfect she was... It broke his heart to look for as long as he did. She stopped smiling right before he turned on his heel, whipped open the door to the guildhall, making it slam against the wall, and violently closed it behind him. Needless to say, after this, he went back home.
===============================Lucy POV====================================
Failure. Terrible horrible FAILURE! She screamed at herself in her head how stupid she was. As she paced back and fourth in the bathroom of the guildhall, Grey stood there trying to calm her down.
"Luce, you need to take a step back."
She looked at him. "Are you kidding me. Did it even look like I got through to him?!" She put her head in her hands, leaning on the counter. She felt the cool touch of the ice wizards hand on her back.
Grey knew, better than anyone else, that Lucy had gotten through to Natsu. Also, he knew that they wouldn't be talking for the next two weeks except for Natsu knocking him out of the way or punching him square in the jaw. Grey sighed. He tried to come up with what to say besides "Do you really think this was a good plan?"
So, instead he came up with, "I think you're starting to get through to him, because despite what you saw I saw him looking a little bit mad."
This made her lift her head up. "W-What? Really!" She smiled and jumped up. "That means it's working! This means we can continue the plan!"
She threw her arms around Grey. He patted her gently on the back and sighed. He didn't know if he wanted to be part of her big "master plan" anymore... He had this terrible feeling that it was going to backfire.
Soon enough, that is.
===============================Juvia POV==================================
As she walked into the guild hall she didn't get greetings like she was used to at FairyTail. No, in fact, there was a returned air from before she joined the guild. No, she begged to herself, Please don't tell me Juvia has to go back to that.
She ran up to a guild member that she knew, Cana, and said, "Juvia senses a bad feeling in the air. Could you please tell Juvia what's going on?" She stood there kindly as Cana tired to come up with an answer.
"Uh... Oh! I know why you're worried- it's not that. We're just worried about-" And then, Lucy and Grey came out of the bathroom holding hands. And smiling.
Juvia slowly, almost eerily, turned around to see what was happening. As soon as she saw it, her jaw dropped at the same speed as her heart. Her Grey. Grey-Sama. Her soulmate. With that bimbo. She closed her mouth and clenched her fists in rage. It started to rain in the guild hall then, because her sunshine was being blocked by a cloud she couldn't stand looking at. Then she heard weakly from behind her, Cana finish her sentence.
"-That..."
Everyone was shielding themselves from the rain, and she was sorry that everyone was getting wet, because all she wanted to do was focus in on Lucy. To have the most concentrated storm ever to exist right over her head. To have thunder, lighting, tornado's, and hurricanes engulf her and never stop. But, the moment she took a step to walk over to the blonde, a hand grabbed her arm and kept a strong grip, dragging her into the store closet. Apparently no one had seen, because no one tried to stop whoever was grabbing her, she struggled a bit, but when she spun around to tell him to get his hands off, she heard a familiar voice.
"Stop Juvia, its me. I understand how you feel. And I have a plan."
===============================Natsu POV====================================
Earlier that day...
Natsu walked out of the guild hall. He stomped down the street... And then ran home. Trying to run away from Lucy and Grey, and what everyone would say to him about it. Instead he just ran until he got to his house. When he got there he went inside and slammed the door so hard it broke. He heard the snapping of wood, so when he swiftly punched behind him, he hear the awful creaking of metal and then door fell off its hinges. It landed with a thud on the floor as he started completely destroying his house.
Lucy had just cleaned it for him last week, what would she say? He shook the thought out of his mind. Why should you care about her anymore if she obviously doesn't care about you? He was infuriated. He ripped the curtains off the windows and tore the pillows to pieces. He kicked over tables, broke the vases and the mirrors and then picked up a picture. It was him, Erza, Juvia, Lucy... And Grey. He punched the frame where Grey was, breaking it and cutting open his hand. He was bleeding now, but he really didn't care. He couldn't care. He screamed, no, roared as he threw the picture at the wall, shattering the frame completely. He noticed that he had set a little bit on fire when he roared but they were small flames and he didn't much care at the moment. That's when he walked over to the picture and picked it up. Then he saw it.
Yes. That was it. His answer. He looked at the big blue eyes of the girl in the picture, standing next to, no, more like clinging onto, Grey. Juvia Lockser, the one that Grey had feelings for. He would explain to her whats going on and then tell her his plan. Even though he didn't like it, and she might not, this was now a game of jealousy.
He was going to make Grey's life hell. He was going to date Juvia Lockser.
Little did he know, this was the EXACT same plan that Lucy had. That, inevitably, horribly, and terribly, backfired.
((Did you guys like it? I've been working on this one for a while so I hope you do. Hopefully there will be another update for this soon! Again, I am so sorry for the format of the last chapter. It was actually terrifying. Gave me nightmares *shivers*. But thank you so much my Noodles! Love you all :3 ))
