falling in love with a tutor
Natsu's lips were brought into a disapproving scowl. He cannot believe he has to tutor someone who doesn't understand English. Natsu may be nice but he didn't felt like tutoring someone, for they kept fooling around and fail the English test. Natsu's shoulders slumped. He wished he never have written his name in Mrs. Taylor's notebook, but who could blame him? He has a serious problem with saying "no" to someone, it will break the person's heart, and Mrs. Taylor, is such a sweet and kind lady he always get along with; he cannot just say no to her.
Natsu's shoulders slumped and he walked towards his locker. His dark onyx eyes went wide with wonder and glittered happiness as he saw a very familiar blonde near his locker. His heart racing forward as he saw Lucy standing near his locker, biting her lower lip.
Lucy was near his locker.
Warmth filled Natsu's cheeks and he wonder how she knows where his locker were located at. Natsu began to quickly speed his pace towards his locker. Lucy just stood there blinking a few times with her eyes wandering around the hallway. She bit her lower lip and checked the time on her watch.
1:43
She sighed and her eyes suddenly landed on a pinkett whose hands were on his knees and panting loudly. She lifted an eyebrow and giggled. Natsu can be very cute at times.
Natsu unravels into his full height and Lucy just notice he was two or three inches taller than her. She also never knew he wore glasses nor have beautiful captivating onyx eyes. She was left breathless staring into his eyes.
"-cy?" Lucy was so busy staring into his eyes; she didn't even notice Natsu calling her name.
"Lucy, are you alive?" Natsu asked as he poked her. Lucy blinked at him before letting out a muffle groan. Natsu blinked at her before a blatant laughter escaped his lips. She was so cute; too cute to ever be with him.
Natsu frowned at the thought. Lucy looks up at him and smiled. She can be an idiot at times which Natsu thought was very cute.
"Lucy, do you need anything?" Natsu asked as he opened his locker. Lucy bit her lower lip and nodded silently.
Why in the devil was she acting like this?
She doesn't even know the answer to that. Lucy sighed and cleared her throat. She has to wake up and smell the roses instead of being lost into his eyes.
"Natsu, I have a little small request," Lucy said as Natsu nodded at her. He would do anything for the girl; anything.
"Well it's not actually a request more like a demand from Mrs. Taylor," Lucy said.
Oh God, here it comes.
"You have to tutor me in English for six weeks," Lucy said as she gave him a weak smile. Natsu blink at her one, then twice.
Huh?
Natsu stared at Lucy confusingly. "So you're the one who needs tutoring."
Lucy clamped his mouth shut with her hand and looked around the hallway. She sighed; luckily there weren't a lot of people in the hallway or she would've been mortified.
Lucy nodded at him.
Natsu's throat goes dry. Lucy was the one he was suppose to be tutoring. Is this some kind of prank? Is he hallucinating? Is the world toying with his feelings?
Natsu guessed it was a no to all of those questions because the prettiest girl in school was pleading him to help her in English. When he signed up, he didn't have a clue he be tutoring Lucy. Heck, he thought Lucy would probably be the last person on Earth to be tutoring.
Thank you Mrs. Taylor.
"So what time do you want to meet up?" Lucy asked as her eyes kept staring into his. Natsu's heart thundered loudly into his chest and it felt like it was going to burst. His throat goes dry and he shrugged his shoulders.
Lucy arched an eyebrow. "Okay? Look, why don't we meet up at my house today, after school. You don't have plans, do you?"
Natsu shook his head. Gosh dang his heart racing like this.
Lucy eyes brightened and a smile were placed amongst her lips.
"Great, so wait for me after school," Lucy said as she gripped her books. Natsu nodded and she gave him a nice pure grin.
Lucy gave Natsu a kiss on the cheek and walked away. In a great distance she shouted, "See you around Natsu!"
Natsu nodded and once she faintly disappeared, Natsu grinned. He closed his locker; put his hands in his jean pockets. His hand reached up to his cheek that Lucy pecked on. A hue of red was now spotted on his cheeks.
If only it were on the lips.
Lucy ran towards her friends who were standing near the lockers. Cana and Erza were arguing on how Cana's shorts were a little too high. Juvia and Levy were rolling their eyes and laughter escaped their lips. Lucy smiled and walked towards her friends.
"Hey guys," Lucy said as she earned a few - two - welcoming smiles. Cana and Erza were completely oblivious towards her presence. Lucy quirked a brow and look for her locker. She was quite surprise that her friends were standing near her locker.
Levy grinned at Lucy. "Hey Lu-chan, how was the English test?"
Lucy felt her heart pained a little; chills ran down her spine and her throat gone dry. Juvia raised an eyebrow at Lucy.
"Juvia thinks you didn't do really well, Lucy-sama," Juvia said as Lucy rolled her eyes. This caught Erza and Cana's attention.
Lucy opened her locker and bit her lower lip. She sighs. "Yeah I didn't. Mrs. Taylor said I need a tutor for the re-take; apparently, this re-take will be six weeks from now and much harder than the first one."
Erza and Cana exchange glances while Juvia and Levy eyes shown sympathy. Erza walked towards Lucy, her back against the locker.
"So who's tutoring you?" Erza asked. Lucy glanced at her before replying.
"Natsu Dragneel."
"Who?" Cana asked as she raised an eyebrow. Lucy rolled her eyes, but she can't blame her friends for not knowing who 'Natsu Dragneel' was; Lucy didn't even know this school had a person name like that until she sat next to the boy.
Well, that's sound harsh.
"He's a boy from our school, Cana," Lucy replied matter-of-factly. Cana shrugged her shoulders.
"Never really heard of him," Cana said nonchalantly. Lucy pressed her lips together in a thin line.
"Yeah well," Lucy said as she jabbed her books into her locker. Juvia helped Lucy since she was assuming she was having trouble. "Now you know."
Lucy smiled and closed her locker. "All done." Lucy started walking and her friends following her trail. Levy frowned deeply.
"So you can't come to the sleepover?" Levy asked as a frown placed her lips. Lucy eyes widen; she forgot all about the sleepover, but she can't attend this time.
"Sadly, no, I can't attend this time," Lucy said giving Levy a weak smile. Levy nodded.
"So where are you meeting up with this tutor?" Erza asked as her eyes shimmered with curiosity.
"After school, which is right now," Lucy said.
Erza nodded as Cant's lips twitched into an inane smile.
"So is this Natsu cute, sexy, and handsome?" Cana asked as she smirked.
Warmth filled Lucy's cheeks and she didn't answer Cana's question.
Instead Lucy says, "He has some nice eyes."
Her friends grinned at her.
"So you have to tutor Lucy?" Gray asked his eyes wide. Lisanna smiled sweetly and Gajeel rolled his eyes as Natsu blush.
Natsu nodded.
"That's a load of crap," Gray answered flatly. Lisanna shot Gray a vicious glare and smack him upside the head. Gray bit the inside of his cheek.
"You have to stop hitting me lately, Lisanna," Gray said as he pouted like a child. Lisanna seemed like a little sister to Gray and Lisanna thinks of Gray as her older brother who is so childish. She thought of Gajeel the same way too; only Natsu was the only mature guy friend she has around her.
Lisanna's lips twitched into a scowl. "Stop your complaining Gray and be happy for our little Natsu."
Gray rolled his eyes as Gajeel nodded.
"Yeah our boy grew up so fast," Gajeel said as he deflected the punch Natsu tried to throw at him.
Natsu rolled his eyes. "Whatever; anyways what time is it?"
Lisanna checked her watch. "It's 2:20, why?"
"I have to meet Lucy right now so I can tutor her," Natsu said as he grinned like an idiot. Gray and Gajeel rolled their eyes while Lisanna smiled.
"Well, stop standing around here and go," Lisanna said as she pushed Natsu. Natsu grinned at her and ran.
Lisanna sighed and looked at the two boys next to her. She grins deviously as they walked. "Do you want to bet that those two will start dating after this tutoring thing?"
Gajeel and Gray exchange glances as a glint were shown into their eyes.
"Deal," they both say in unison. Lisanna grins.
She is so going to win this bet, hopefully.
Natsu waited for Lucy in front of the school; students came out the door throwing cheers that school is finally over. He smiled at the students when they walked home. Lucy sure does take so long; what was holding her up? Natsu waited a few minutes. Lucy finally came out with her friends' right behind her and her boyfriend, Loke, holding her waist. Lucy came out laughing with her friends and Natsu bet she didn't even realize he's even there.
Natsu frowned as he watches Lucy and Loke exchange a peck or two. Laxus grimaced at the scene in front of him; it was quite ironic for him to be doing that since he usually does that with Cana.
"Can you two get a room please," Laxus said as he grabbed Cana's arms and held her close to him. Loke rolled his eyes.
"Now you know how we feel when you share your kisses with Cana," Loke retorted. Laxus rolled his eyes once more but a ghost of a smile were placed on his lips.
Natsu bit his lower lip from refraining to say something. He wanted to tell Lucy he was right here but he didn't want to interrupt her. She seemed quite busy.
"Hey Lucy, where's the tutor you spoke of?" Jellal asked as he searched around the area for Natsu. Natsu stiffen; he felt like he should hide somewhere so Lucy's friends won't see him but his body will not listen to him.
Lucy pursed her lips and looked around the area. She frowns.
"I guess he's not here," Lucy said as she still held her frown. Cana's eyes harden.
"That little jerk, making Lucy disappointed," Cana said as the boys agreed. The girls meekly stared at Natsu with a bright smile. At least they know he's here.
"So where's this sorry ass of a tutor?" Loke said as his voice were full with hatred. He didn't like the idea of a guy coming to his girlfriend's house after school. It just worried him.
"Actually, he's been standing here the entire time," Levy said as she pointed at Natsu. All eyes turned at Natsu who simply flinched at their stares. He glances t Lucy who smiled warmly at him.
"Oh," Jellal said as he scratches the back of his head, "I didn't know you where standing here um..."
"Natsu; his name is Natsu," Lucy said as her eyes never left the said boy's name. Natsu pursed his lips and nodded.
"Oh, well sorry Natsu. I haven't seen you there," Jellal said as he gave Natsu a pure grin.
For some reason, Natsu really liked Jellal but not the other guys.
Natsu only nodded his hands in his jeans pockets. A tinge of silence filled the air and Juvia cleared her throat.
"Well we see you later, Lucy-san," Juvia said as she smiled at Lucy. She looked at Natsu and smiled warmly at him. She waved Natsu goodbye. "Goodbye also, Natsu-san."
Natsu waved goodbye to Juvia and nodded at rest. As they left, Lucy snuck up behind Natsu and tried to scare him by saying "boo" but Lucy is amazed how Natsu stood their unmoving and stoic.
Lucy smiled at him. "I really wanted to scare you. I guess next time."
Natsu blinked at her before laughing. Lucy puffed her cheeks and joins with him. There laughers' resonance into air. Lucy smiled and Natsu grinned at her.
"I guess next time," Natsu said with a grin. Lucy smiled a tint of red on her cheeks and lets out a breathy laugh.
"Yeah, maybe next time," Lucy said as she started to walk. Natsu followed her trail; he kept his distance from her. Sure he has feelings for Lucy, but he doesn't want Loke to kill him. Lucy looked at Natsu from behind and raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you so far?" Lucy asked. Natsu gave her a weak smile and doesn't reply. Lucy rolled her eyes; she stopped walking and turns towards Natsu. Natsu eyes went wide as she tugged on his arm, gripping it tightly, and led him to her house. Natsu felt his cheeks rising with warmth.
Lucy glanced at him and laughed at his blushing face.
Yep, she was sure of it; Natsu Dragneel is going to make such a great tutor.
Lucy and Natsu finally arrived into her house. Lucy unlocked the door and they quietly enter her house. Natsu felt his cheeks were getting warmer; the color red on his cheeks is probably going to become permanent.
Lucy turned the lights on and the blinds. She sighs. "Sorry for making you wait Natsu. You can go up to my room and wait for me there. My room is on the left side, near the bathroom."
Natsu nodded and started to climb the stairs. He glances at Lucy who's watching him like a hawk. She was watching Natsu's every move.
Natsu walked pass the bathroom and went straight towards a room. He was sure this was Lucy's room, for the door read:
Lucky Lucy's room.
Natsu smiled; lucky Lucy, yeah she probably is lucky. He wishes he was dating Lucy. Natsu sighed and runs his fingers through his hair; he adjusted his glasses and bit his lower lip. He was going to enter the most popular girl's room. Should he be nervous?
Probably.
Natsu took a deep breath; he can do this; he can do this. Natsu's hand touched the doorknob and he was about to turn it but decided not too. It's probably best not to; Lucy probably have some personal stuff in there she does not want him to see.
Natsu stood their, contemplating on whether he should open the door or not.
"What are you doing?" The sudden voice made Natsu jumped. He turned around and sees Lucy raising a brow at him, revealing her skin.
When did she ever change?
Lucy was wearing a tank top that says: I love my bed and she wore shorts. She was revealing her long legs and her hair were put into a messy bun. Wasn't it just down?
Natsu's felt his throat gone dry. His eyes kept trailing to Lucy's body in which he earned a brow that is furrowed.
Lucy furrowed her eyebrows. "Natsu, you can go in."
Lucy opened the door, brushing her soft hands on Natsu's tan ones. Natsu blushed at the sudden contact with their hands.
This red that was left on his cheeks, will stay their permanently.
Lucy opened the door and reveals her small but spacious bedroom. The walls that were covered with dark pink and the wooden floors shines brilliantly as they walked in. The floor wooden was so clean; Natsu swore he saw his reflection in it.
Lucy lay on her bed eyeing Natsu. Natsu suddenly felt self conscious. Lucy bit her lower lip and frowned.
"What?" Natsu asks avoiding her intense gaze.
"Take off your coat, Natsu and come sit next to me," Lucy said. Her voice almost sounded like she was commanding him. Natsu nodded at her.
Natsu took of his red coat and lays it on the chair. He walked towards Lucy with books in his hands. He watches Lucy but she isn't looking at him, or the amount of books he was holding. She was looking at somewhere below him. Natsu looked down and saw his first few buttons undone.
Lucy was staring at his nose, neck, chin and chest. She felt her cheeks getting warmer. Why is she looking at her tutor that way? She has no clue to answer that question. What did surprise Lucy is that Natsu actually has a masculine body. She can see the outline of his torso if she squints a little.
What in the name of the devil?
What the hell is wrong with her? Why is she suddenly becoming a pervert? She met Natsu's eyes who were staring down at her with his lower lip behind his teeth. His color coded pink spiky hair and he was adjusting the glasses on his face. Lucy blushed. She has to admit one thing.
Natsu Dragneel is kind of attractive and the words to describe him leave Lucy breathless.
Her friends were right; Natsu Dragneel, her tutor, she finds attractive and she may as well be dammed.
So how do you like the second chapter? I did the best I can to add a tad bit of romance, so I really did try my best.
Really Lucy, since when did you ever became a pervert and why are you checking out Natsu? He may be the same age as you, but he's still your tutor. Pay close attention to your school work, Lucy. You have to ace that re-take test.
