Disclaimer: Meh, I don't own them, I just put Natsu and Lucy together 'cause Hiro is taking too long. -.-
ENJOY!
Lucy got out of the bed, glaring at the clock that interrupted her sleep rather rudely. She took her blue bath robe off her chair, put it over her pyjamas, then proceeded in walking towards the toilet, doing a perfect personification of a zombie. Fifteen minutes later, when she stepped out of the bathroom, she looked quite the opposite of how she stepped in. Her hair was combed, her face washed and her teeth brushed. She skipped into her room, opened her window and looked outside in her garden. It was already 10 o'clock, and the sun had risen up in the blue summer sky, its rays washing over the plants and flowers in Lucy's garden.
It was the summer holiday! Of course she slept in late! Her parents already left for work, and after giving one more glance towards the inviting garden, she decided to have her breakfast outside. She bounced towards her spacious kitchen, walked in and flung open the cupboards. After much debating over three kinds of cereals, she picked the muesli. She usually had the chocolate ones, but for some reason, she wasn't in the mood for anything sweet. Opening the fridge, she took out the milk , after which she turned around and took a bowl from a cupboard. She set them all on the counter and then poured herself a big, nice bowl of muesli. After she took a spoon, she walked out of the kitchen and towards the back door. While doing this, she kept looking in her bowl, shuffling the muesli around with her spoon, thinking that it had too many raisins and not enough nuts. In her deep contemplation, she didn't realize she already reached the small table and chairs at the end of her garden. So when she looked up, she let out a surprised shriek, nearly dropping the bowl but not succeeding as she was clutching it quite tightly against her chest.
"Natsu! Oh my God! Don't do this!" yelled Lucy at the boy sitting on one of the chairs right in front of her.
For his part, Natsu tried to keep on a straight face, only his lips forming a small smirk, trying to keep a cool demeanor However, after two seconds of strenuous effort, he gave up and started laughing like a maniac, slapping his hand against his jean clad thigh.
" You...should have...seen your...face!" gasped the boy between rounds of laughter, by now rolling on the grass.
The furious blonde glared down at him, regretting that she didn't bring a drink with her so she could pour it on the laughing idiot in front of her. Instead, she had to settle with stepping over him and taking the seat he previously occupied.
" Hey! That's my seat!" exclaimed Natsu indignant, when he saw the blonde sitting down, making him get up from the ground, his laughter stopping.
" I am pretty sure this is MY garden and I didn't invite you in. Also, there are other seats. Could you also tell me why you decided to jump the fence into my garden?" asked Lucy, raising a fair eyebrow at the pink haired guy in front of her.
"That's not the point though!" whined Natsu, as he tried, in vain, to get Lucy off her seat. "This seat is in the shadows, and I don't like sitting in the sun." Natsu said as he gestured towards the three other chairs that were bathed in gold sunlight.
"I don't care." retorted Lucy as she gave her full attention to the bowl of muesli in front of her. " And you didn't answer my question." she added as an afterthought.
"Fiiiine." sighted Natsu dejected, as he walked towards one of the chairs next to the girl. Suddenly, he quickly leaned over Lucy and snatched her bowl off the table, sprinting a few metres away from her.
"If I can't have my seat, you can't have your cereal." he taunted her, as he childishly stuck his tongue out at her.
Lucy stared at the empty space on the table, her spoon poised to dip inside the now gone bowl. Slowly, she lifted her head up and fixed her icy gaze on him, Natsu horribly being reminded of a robot. He gulped and stepped a few more metres away from her, almost bumping in the swing.
"Natsu..." growled Lucy, her glare sending venomous daggers at his heart. "If I don't get the bowl back in the next five seconds, I will be sure to give you a visit while you sleep and dye your hair blue." she threatened, knowing, that for some reason, the guy really didn't like the colour blue. He was also quite happy with his pink hair.
Natsu's eyes widened comically, believing every word the blonde said, knowing, after two weeks of hanging out with her, that Lucy Heartfilia was capable of pretty much anything she put her mind to. In his hurry to get the cereals back to the angry girl, he didn't see his own cat, Happy, at his feet so he tripped and face planted into the ground. The bowl didn't break, due to the cushioning grass, but all its contents spilled on the grass, the milk quickly being absorbed by the thirsty earth, the muesli hanging on the surface of the lush grass.
Lucy gawked, after which she looked at the sheepish boy in front of her that was getting off the grass; her mouth clicking shut and Natsu exhaled a relieved breath, thinking she wouldn't be mad...which was too wrong.
"NATSU DRAGNEEL! How dare you not only hop into my garden unexpected and scare me, but destroy my breakfast?!" the girl yelled so loudly, that Happy dashed from the garden, under the fence and straight into his house. Natsu wistfully followed his cat with his eyes, wishing he could do the same thing and escape in a dash. He was brought back to the cruel reality when a pink slipper bounced off his head. He looked up, confused, seeing Lucy, still seething but with one slipper missing. Looking around him, he spotted the pink fluffy thing, picked it up, stared at it for a long minute, after which he finally said:
"Reeeeeaaally Lucy? A slipper? You could have thrown the spoon, or something. But then again, you are a blonde for a reason, eh?" he asked, winking, unaware of the perilous situation he just landed himself into.
After a few seconds, Natsu realised what he said, his eyes widened, and he started apologising profusely. Lucy kept ignoring him, until:
" Aw come on Lucy. It really has no effect from me, since I'm a blond myself. A dyed one but a blond nonetheless." he begged, a pitiful expression stuck on his face.
At this, the girl turned around and asked:
"Why, would anyone sane, dye their hair pink when they are blonde? I mean, no offence to you, and other people that dye their hair, but blonde is a much nicer colour than pink." she stated matter of factly, seemingly forgetting about the whole 'I'm-gonna-kill-Natsu-and-feed-him-to-sharks' situation.
Before answering, Natsu sat down on the swing and beckoned Lucy over. Then, he barked a short laugh and said:
"Trust you to turn a joke about blondes back on me." he said, shaking his head in disbelief. At this, Lucy smiled, trying to hide it while she sat down next to him.
"Well, after being a blonde your whole life, I guess you devise tactics on how to shut people up about the blonde stereotype." she grinned at him. Natsu stared at her, yet again noticing how damn pretty and cute she was. Her soft blonde locks swaying in the gentle wind, a tint of pink on her cheeks from her earlier aggravation and her wide brown eyes shimmering innocently in the sun. As he looked further down, taking in her bath robe and pyjamas, his eyebrows furrowed. Lucy noticed and asked what's wrong. The idiot said:
"Why are you wearing so many clothes?" his brow furrowed even more. Lucy's jaw hung open.
"You pervert!" she shouted as she whacked him in the arm.
"Well excuse me!" Natsu managed while dodging the blonde. "But the first time I saw you, you really didn't wear a lot."
"Oh." Lucy promptly stopped, staring at her feet, a blush forming on her cheeks.
"Um, yeah. As I said back then, I got stuck out of my house. While taking the rubbish out. So those were the clothes I wear inside, not outside for everyone to see. I have my decency you know!" she exclaimed, her embarrassment forgotten.
"Aww, well that's a shame." Natsu's mouth formed a downward curve. "You looked good." he added cheekily.
Lucy's eyes widened, after which she mumbled, while looking away from him: "Only cause you are a pervert."
"Nah, you are just really hot." Natsu grinned.
Still looking away from him, Lucy decided to change the subject:
"You still haven't answered my question. Why are you here?"
"Why? Don't you like my company?" he grinned at her, eyebrows wiggling.
"Ah! Its not that...is...uuh...Natsu! Just answer the damn question!" she exclaimed, exasperated.
He looked her straight in the eye, a serious expression on his face. Lucy was taken aback, however the expression left as quickly as it came, leaving Natsu looking sheepish and fidgety.
"Well, I came to ask you..umm...You see, my parents just left this morning on some kind of trip for their jobs and they are coming back home on Tuesday. So umm...I was wondering. Would you like to come by my house on Monday? We can talk, hang out, make some food, play some games if you want..." he finished awkwardly, looking anywhere but at Lucy. Why was it so hard to ask her? They were neighbours for God's sake. She could easily go to his house now. And he always popped up in her garden. Nothing big, right?
"Oh. That was all? You could have texted me you know." she said with a smirk, her demeanour relaxed, though her heart wanted to jump out of her chest so badly, that she was starting to worry that Natsu might hear or see her heart beating at crazy speeds.
"Haha. Yeah, I guess you are right, but...I have no credit at the moment." he scowled to himself. Then he grinned and asked: " So what do you say?"
"Um..sure, why not? I have nothing planned." she answered, shrugging. In her mind, some little person was running around, holding a banner up that read: ' Get in there Lucy!'. She scowled at her mental self and tried to not face palm herself in front of Natsu. 'Cause really, that would only give him more reasons to make fun of her. While Lucy was fighting with her inner self, Natsu got up, straightened his sleeveless orange shirt and said:
"Well then Princess, I will see you the day after tomorrow. Here is your glass slipper." he joked, handing her the pink slipper. Lucy didn't know if she wanted to kiss him, or punch him, so she just took the slipper, their fingers brushing, Natsu keeping contact for far too long to be unintended. After he pulled away, she looked up at him, trying her best to fight the blush away and asked:
"What time then, Prince Charming?" she smirked, happy that she didn't stutter like a love sick puppy.
Natsu seemed to think for a moment after which he responded:
"What about 10? Is it okay if I...' pick you up' then?" He laughed, making fun of the fact that it wouldn't be really 'picking up' since they lived next to each other.
" Yeah sure." Lucy got up from the swing, shuffling awkwardly on the spot. " I will see you then I guess...and thanks for inviting me." Lucy smiled at Natsu.
"Um, yeah. See ya, and no problem." he smiled back. He made to turn away, but he changed his mind, turned towards Lucy and enveloped her in a hug. For a moment, the girl was too surprised to hug back, but then she slowly lifted her arms, hugging back, liking the feel of Natsu's warm and hard body, feeling strangely safe and comfortable. She also noticed, that up close, he was actually a little taller than her. After what felt like an eternity, he pulled away, gave her a heart wrenching smile and walked towards the end of the garden. Lucy, who was left smiling like a fool, came out of her stupor and yelled:
"You know, you could always use the door!"
"Of course I could." yelled Natsu back, standing on the chair and getting ready to clamber over the fence. "But then I wouldn't feel like a Prince, going through obstacles to get to his Princess." he grinned back, in the next second disappearing behind the fence.
Lucy just stared at the spot he previously occupied, after which she blushed and walked towards her house. Ah, she forgot to ask. Would he 'pick her up' from the garden, or from in front of her house? Judging by what he just said...she guessed the garden.
That night, when her parents came home, Lucy told them about the invitation. Her mum seemed really...excited about it, while her father glared at nothing in particular and nodded stiffly.
After dinner, she went up to her room, having received a text from Natsu. They spent all night talking about nothing and everything.
Next morning, on Saturday, Lucy woke up as usual, her mum cooking pancakes in the kitchen. She practically drifted towards the inviting smell, her stomach growling. After having breakfast with her parents, they left having to do some shopping.
Lucy went to her room, dressed and decided to surf the internet, listening to music, finding more information about the college she was going to attend and talking with some friends on Facebook.
Natsu, who was blissfully drifting through dream land, was suddenly woken up by some very insistent knocking at his door. At first, he thought it was the alarm clock, and turned in his bed towards the edge, wanting to pick his phone from the floor. However, he didn't realise he was already almost falling off the bed, so when he turned around, he dropped right off, face planting into his, luckily, soft carpet.
He groaned and got up, having realised it was the door making the noise. Erm, someone at the door. Natsu trudged out of his bedroom, down the hallway and up to his front door, wrenching it open and almost off its hinges.
"What?!" he yelled at the unlucky bastard in front of him.
Gray Fullbuster, Natsu's friend/enemy since primary school, stood in front of him, one cool eyebrow raised, an arm around his girlfriend's waist, Juvia.
"Did you fall off the bed again, idiot?" he asked, a smirk making itself present on his handsome face.
"Why you little..." mumbled Natsu under his breath, suddenly aware of the fact that he only wore boxers.
Juvia giggled at the two boy's antics, also being used to Natsu's habit of opening his door while being half naked. It also helped that he dated Gray. After all, his middle name was Stripper.
Natsu motioned the two inside, walking to his bathroom, not bothering to look behind him, knowing his two close friends would make themselves comfortable in the living room.
Fifteen minutes later, Natsu was dressed, his hair still the same as when he woke up. He walked towards Gray, who was rummaging through his fridge, Juvia picking a game for the PS3.
"Sorry guys, I didn't really sleep last night."
"Oh. Is that so?" asked Gray, taking out a soda from the fridge. He looked up at Natsu, who sheepishly scratched his cheek and said:
"Um yeah."
"Could you tell me why?"
" I was texting... a friend."
"Alright then." said Gray losing his interest and walking towards his girlfriend, who already set up the PS3 for some rounds of gaming.
Natsu walked behind him, looking at the clock and seeing it was only 11. He knew they would be playing for at least an hour and then they would make lunch. Gray sat down beside Juvia, taking a controller and starting to play. Natsu just sat on the sofa, watching them for the time being.
Lucy got up from the computer, her limbs stiff after being unused for an hour or so.
She looked at her phone, noticing it was 11:26 and wondered what she could do now.
Her best friend Erza was out of the country at the moment, enjoying the holiday with her parents, so she couldn't really text her. She sighted, flopped onto her comfortable bed and went through her text messages. Looking at the ones from Natsu, she couldn't help but smile and wondered what the pink haired guy was doing. Well, she could always find out... She went on their messages and typed up a new one: ' Morning Prince Charming. Are you awake yet?:D'. She pressed the sent button. While waiting for his reply, she went to her CD case, feeling like listening to some put the CD inside the player and pressed the play button. Picking up her phone, she saw she had no messages. 'Is he still sleeping?' she wondered. Of course he is. He kept her up all night. She snorted. Every time she wanted to go, he would either say a joke or come up with an interesting topic. The bastard. That's why, after 10 minutes of waiting for a reply, she decided to give him an wake up call. She took her keys off the desk, walked out of her house then closed the door behind her. Walking towards Natsu's door, she raised her hand and knocked.
Inside the house, Juvia and Natsu were yelling at the screen, both being very competitive and erm...passionate about the game. Gray just stood on the couch and shook his head every time one of them tried to push the other, making them lose their focus. At the same time they finished the game, Juvia putting Natsu into a headlock because she lost by one point, he heard the door. Someone was knocking. He looked towards Natsu, wanting to tell him, but decided against it once he saw him getting purple in Juvia's surprisingly strong grasp. Gray just smirked, amusement shining in his dark blue eyes, not wanting to end Natsu's suffering. He got off the couch, heading towards the door. Opening it, he saw a blonde girl, who seemed to be about his age. Her first smirking face turned into confusion once she met his eyes.
"Um, is Natsu home?" she asked, unsure of herself.
Looking at the confused girl in front of him, only one thing came up in Gray's head. Fangirl. Him and Natsu were some pretty sought after guys, and more than once they had girls bugging them, even as going as far as finding where they live. He sighted inwardly and decided to spare Natsu the 'pleasure' of having to deal with one of his fangirls. Gray also knew, that these beings, known as fangirls, were also pretty damn persistent, so he chose the surest way to get rid of her. Permanently.
"Yeah, but he can't come now, he's with his girlfriend." he said, his voice cold and emotionless.
"His...his girlfriend?" asked the girl flabbergasted.
"Oh yeah." nodded Gray. To empathise the point and make the girl leave, he opened the door slightly, giving the girl a view of the living room where Natsu and Juvia were wrestling on the floor for the remote control.
"Oh umm...Sorry then. I guess I will just go." the girl looked at her shoes while Gray just nodded and closed the door.
When he went back to the living room, the two were still fighting and he decided to part them before they demolished the house. They didn't even notice he was gone, and he didn't deem the girl important enough to mention her to Natsu.
Outside, Lucy unlocked her door and walked in with robotic movements, everything seeming to have gone on autopilot, her body too numb to make conscious movements.
Dooooooone. Ok. This was a long-ass chapter xD. Eh? What? There is a mob approaching my house? What do you mean? Ooooh o.O. Um...erm, don't kill Gray, he was just looking out for his friend! And...don't kill me? Please? Review? Ok. Gotta dash. *runs away*
