I still don't own Fairy Tail.
"HEY NATSU ! WANT ANOTHER BEER ?"
"YES THANKS MIRA ! GRAY'S PAYING !"
Natsu had to yell in order to make him understood to the pretty bartender. The music was so loud, and the club was so crowded it was almost impossible to have a proper conversation with anyone.
"OH YEAH ? WHY SO ?"
" 'CAUSE YESTERDAY HE BET THAT I COULDN'T DITCH CLASS WITHOUT HAVING DETENTION, AND HE LOST !"
"YO HOTHEAD, HAND ME YOUR BEER, I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE… SO HOT, I'M GONNA DIE. PLUS, JUVIA KEEPS CLINGING TO ME, I HAD TO RUN AWAY, I SWEAR !"
Natsu giggled and gave him his beer, that didn't last long in the hands of the cool blooded boy. A gorgeous brunette, only wearing a bathing suit with a short, sat next to Natsu and Gray, holding a bottle of wine in her hand.
"HEY GRAAAAY, THINK YOU DROPPED YOUR CLOTHES… NOT THAT I MIND HEHEHE"
"WHA- DAMN IT, WHEN DID IT HAPPEN ?! CANA TURN AROUND, IF JUVIA SEES YOU, SHE'LL MURDER YOU !"
"THIS IS THE RETURN OF THE STRIPPER, MUAHAHA, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE LAST TIME ! THINK I'M GONNA CALL YOU STRIPPER AGAIN !"
"GO TO HELL FLAME BRAIN !"
Natsu guffawed as he watched his friend leave, inspecting the sticky floor.
"SO NATSU ! SEEN ANYGIRL TO BRING HOME TONIGHT ?"
"NAAH, NOT REALLY IN THE MOOD FOR THAT"
"WHAT, ARE YOU SICK ?!"
"WHY'S EVERYONE KEEP TELLIN' ME THAT ?!"
"WHAT'S HER NAME ?"
"WHACHA TALKING ABOUT ?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ! YOU CHECKED YOUR PHONE THREE TIMES SINCE I ARRIVED 2 MINUTES AGO ! AND YOU'RE ACTING WEIRD…"
"YEAH SO ?"
"SOOO, THERE MUST BE A GIRL ON YOUR MIND, TWISTING IT IN A … WELL ACTUALLY IN A GOOD WAY HAHAHA !"
"BULLSHIT."
"YOU'RE WAITING FOR HER TO CALL YOUUUUU"
"BULLSHIT SHE DOESN'T HAVE MY NUMBER, I DO- OH CRAP."
"HA ! I WAS RIIIGHT !"
"SHUT UP CANA, I'M GONNA FIND GAJEEL NOW."
"YOU BETTER NOT. SAW HIM SUCKING FACES WITH A SHORTY !"
"EEEEW GROSS ! WELL GONNA FIND STRIPPER THEN, SEE YA ! MIRA ANOTHER BEER ON GRAY PLEASE !"
As he went, Natsu checked his phone another time. He wanted to call her since she gave him her phone number the day before. But he didn't want to look like a stalker or something. And didn't want to give her wrong ideas. He still was confused, and didn't know what he really wanted with her. Well his hormones knew EXACTLY what they wanted, but surprisingly (at least for him), his mind wasn't comfortable about it. Natsu sighed. 'What did you do to me, blondie…'
A couple of drinks later…
Music is so loud, vibrating through his body… feels so good, so high. Everywhere is darkness, he can't even see where he's going. People of the night are dancing, drinking, laughing, kissing. When did he get another beer ? Bumps into something. Head is turning, feels dizzy… White hair ? So pretty… Boobs. He puts his hands on her waist. Press her against the wall. Leans right next to her ear.
"Hey gorgeous, what's your name ?"
"That's gonna be Angel for you…"
She licks her lips. He likes it.
"A gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl… do you like to play Angel ?"
"Try me…"
Kiss her on the neck, gropes her breast. She moans, man that sounds good. He presses his body harder on her, reaches her butt… Music's so loud, her scent so intoxicating… Angel right ? doesn't matter. Lips against lips, tongs interacting… He feels so hard. Feels her hands in his hair and on his butt. She likes to play…
BLACK.
BZZZZ BZZZZZZZ
"Rrmuuufb"
BZZZZ BZZZZZZZ
"Whazzat ?"
BZZZZ BZZZZZZZ
"Phone ? Fuck. Hello ?"
"Hi. Who is this ?"
"Err you're the one calling…"
"Natsu ? Is that you ?"
"Yeah who is it ?" Natsu rubbed his head with his other hand, his eyes still closed. He felt so nauseous, lying on a bed, probably his.
"It's Lucy."
Natsu blinked. Lucy… Fuck Lucy was calling him !
"Hey ! Good to hear you ! But… wait how did you get my number ?"
"Eeer, you sent me a text at 2 AM, remember ? That's why I have your number."
Natsu blinked again. He texted her ? He didn't remember. What happened last night again ? It was Friday night… he went to the club… had a drink contest with Cana… then nothing. Shit, he had texted her without knowing…
"Daaamn" He muttered.
"Natsu ?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
"Eer… can you tell me what you wrote please ?"
"Huh ?" He blinked for the umptieth time and frown. 'Why would I have to tell her what I wrote ? She can read it herself- oh wait… Oh god.' Natsu stood up straight.
"Lucy, yeah, right, I'm gonna tell you, just give me a minute please."
He put his phone on the bed, then turned around to face the wall, and hit his forehead roughly several times.
"STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID !"
"Hey what's going on, pinkie stop yelling, you're gonna wake up my roommates !"
Natsu, fully awake now, looked down on the bed with wide eyes and an open mouth. There was a white dishevelled haired girl in his bed, yawning and playing on her cell.
"Who are you ? What are doing in my bed ?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but this is actually MY bed. And I'm Angel. Well for you at least. My real name is Sorano, but that doesn't really matter. Oh and by the way, you have to leave. Right now. I hate to be a pain in the ass… Oh wait actually I don't care, hehe."
"Natsu ? Is there someone with you ?"
Natsu picked up his phone.
"Not at all, it's the TV !"
Why was he lying ? Fuck, no time to wonder that. He frantically stood up, and started to gather his belongings. Boxers, check, shirt, check, now pants…
"Ok, so can you tell me please ? I wanted to know all day who it was and what it said ! I didn't call right away, because I thought that it might be one of you guys, and I knew you were at the club last night and might still be sleeping."
"Oh yeah that's really nice of you, I still feel tired actually ! Rough night !"
'Damn you pants ! Where the hell are you ?'
"So ? Please ? I reeeeally want to know now ! And Levy isn't awake she can't tell me ! Did you know… She came back at 5 with Gajeel ! They only date since Thursday ! My, I couldn't sleep because of them, because, you know, I have really sensitive ears."
"Uhuh, totally."
Natsu, of course, was too busy now to find his jacket with his wallet and ID card in it to pay attention to the blond. At least he had his pants. He wanted to leave this place so bad !
"Are you even listening to me ? What's wrong with you ? You don't want to tell me ?"
"Huh ? No that's not it, I'll tell you, but… I have something to find for Gray right now, or he'll kill me. Can I call you back ?"
"Oh… Yeah sure ! Sorry I bothered you."
"You're not bothering me ! I call you back I promise."
"Or better, you can tell me in person today ! We're all hanging out at Erza's at 5, then we'll go to the club. Well maybe I won't, I don't know yet…"
"We're hanging out ? Why am I always the last to know ! Well ok, see ya soon ! Bye Lucy !"
"Bye !"
Natsu hung up. He felt exhausted, and still hasn't found his jacket. 'Damn, I hope I didn't lose it at the club !'
"Who's Lucy ? Another whore of yours ?"
Natsu stiffened, then suddenly leapt on top of the girl, and grabbed her wrist roughly. His dark eyes were so scary the white haired girl let out a little cry.
"I don't know who you are little Angel, I don't even remember fucking you, and you look like you've got something against me. I don't care, I've met a hundred like you, hate me as much as you want, I don't give a shit, but don't even think about insulting my friends, ok ?"
"Eeep ! Let me go ! I'll wake up Cobra !"
"No need to, I'm going. You were sleeping on my jacket, get up now, and I'll leave."
Angel stood up, let him take back his jacket, then watched him leave the room and slam the door. She sighed and rubbed her wrist.
"Yo Angel."
"Hey Cobra."
"Was it him ?"
"Yeah. He's the jackass who fucked Yukino. I'm sure he doesn't even remember her. Just like last night."
"You banged him ?"
"Nah, I just brought him home to piss him off, because he was always talking about a certain Lucy. He must like her. He even texted her while we were kissing."
"… You know it… Just say the word and he'll spend a month in a wheelchair."
"It's not the right time… not yet…"
"DAMN IT MAN WHERE WERE YOU ?"
"OI my head is buzzing please shut it !"
"You could have texted Hothead ! You usually do that ! What happened ? Mira said she saw you leave with a white haired girl ?"
"Yeah but I don't remember anything… I woke up in her bed naked, so I assume we did it…"
"Well it's not like it's the first time right ?" Gray poked his shoulder.
"I know but… hell I don't know I feel tired, don't wanna think about it. I'll take a nap before we hang out at Erza's."
"How do you know about it ? When we decided it when you were already gone."
"Lucy called me. She was the one who woke me up thank god, it was almost 1 PM."
"She called you ? How could she call you ? I thought she didn't have your number ! Dude you have some explaining to do…"
"Later Ice Freak, I reeeeaally need to take a shower, then nap."
"Oh by the way… I don't think you'll be able to be at Erza's at 5…"
"Huh ?"
"Remember your detention ?"
"… FUCK ! Somebody up there is against me !"
"I bet it's the goddess of the brokenhearted girls."
"Noooo damn it, I hate Aquarius, I hate her ! Just because I was sleeping during her boring class !"
"Come on, if you work fast, you can meet us directly at the club ok ?"
"Mmmh right."
"Ok, gotta go, Juvia's waiting for me. See ya !"
"You're glued to her or what ? See ya IP."
Natsu collapsed on the couch and took his cell. 3 PM. He had detention at 6, and should be released at 9, if everything was ok. He checked then his notifications. 5 missed calls from Gray, 10 from Erza, 30 SMS from both of them. He went into his sent messages. He had sent 2 texts to Lucy.
'Oh that's right, I have to tell her what I wrote.'
He opened them and dropped his phone, his eyes widening and his hands shaking.
"FUCK !"
Lucy was expertly taping on her braille computer. She loved these moments when she was inspired, she could write for several hours in a row without moving. She was then in another world, in the world of her fantasies. She could see the sun shining, the clouds moving, the characters talking… Well at least, the way she imagined it. She loved the way she could exile herself from reality, zone out to reach new lands where everything was possible. Yeah, she was a crazy author, and she loved that.
It could be dangerous to zone out this way though, she was vulnerable like that after all, but she could always count on her sensitive ears to bring her back to reality. Besides, who would hurt her in her peaceful home ?
'Peaceful… Not last night at least' she thought, and giggled. Levy was sure expressive when she was pleased.
Lucy heard a really light noise coming from her roommate's room. One of them must have just awoken. At last ! It was already 3 PM. She lent an ear, and perceived heavy steps on the ground. Gajeel, obviously. The said one opened the door, and didn't have time to step out before he heard a loud greeting.
"Hello Gajeel ! Pleasant night ?"
"Hi Bunny Girl. Please don't be so loud, got a headache. How'd ya know it was me ?"
"No offense, but your footsteps must be at least twice louder than Levy-chan's. What's Bunny Girl for a nickname ?!"
" 'Cause of your hair. Don't make me explain now please…"
"Err ok ! I won't take offense, i guess !"
"Lu-chaaan, you're so louuuud !"
The small bluenette came out of her room, dishevelled, rubbing her face with one hand, while yawning with the other one covering her mouth.
"It was about time Levy-chan ! We have to be at Erza's at 5 remember ! And according to what we heard about her, we'd better not be late !"
"Bunny Girl's right… I'll go take a shower. Have breakfast Shrimp, after last night you must need it, geehee." Gajeel smirked and entered the bathroom, leaving a blushing Levy facing her giggling roommate.
"I swear I'm gonna kill him…"
"Don't say that, you would miss him ! Lead me to the couch please, I don't know what you did in the living room last night, but nothing is at the right place ! I had trouble finding the kitchen table haha !"
"I'm so sorry Lu-chan ! We'll move them right back at their right spots !"
Levy took her friend's arm, and led her to the couch that was… on its side.
"Eeer hold on Lu-chan… we can't sit properly on the couch right now… I must move it."
"I didn't know you had this in you Levy-chan hehe."
"Oh hush ! There, you can sit. Where is Plue ?"
"In my room, he couldn't stand the mess, he was whining, I was afraid he would wake you up."
"Poor Plue… I'm so SORRY, LU-CHAAAN"
"Hey stop whining, it's alright, it made me laugh ! You broke our routine, that was fun ! Besides, you weren't the only one to have fun last night apparently. I received texts from Natsu at 2 AM."
"Natsu ?"
"Yeah, so I called him 2 hours ago, and I'm pretty sure he was with a girl when I woke him up haha."
"That sounds like him. He told you he was busy ?"
"No I heard her. But he told me it was TV. But he barely paid attention to me then, so I assume he was still busy with her… know what I mean ?"
"Yeah…"
Levy stared at her friend, and studied her expressions. She was hard to read, but she knew her by heart. She was her roommate since high school after all. Lucy was trying her best to laugh at the incident, but Levy could see she was a bit hurt to catch Natsu with a girl in the morning. Was she starting to have feelings for him ? After two days only ?
"He didn't tell me what he wrote by the way. I'm supposed to wait till we meet at Erza's but… I DON'T WANT TO PLEASE LEVY-CHAN READ THEM FOR MEEEEEE !"
"Wow easy girl, haha you're strangling me, LU-CHAAAAN, I'LL READ THEM OK !"
"Thank you so much !"
Levy took her friend's cell, and opened her chat with Natsu.
"Ok that's sweet, he wrote : Hey can't wait to see you again, what you doing tomorrow night ?"
"Really ? Cool ! And the next one ?"
"What next one ? There's only one text."
"Are you sure ? I'm positive I heard 2 buzz last night."
"Well that's not from him obviously."
"Oh… Maybe I dreamt it. That's great anyway, I think we're becoming friends !"
"Lu-chan… i don't want to be a pain in the ass but… Natsu… he has a reputation you know. Everybody at Fairy Tail knows about the Salamander, the hot ass Natsu, the jerk who had countless girlfriends and one-night-stands…"
"Do you know him personally Levy ?"
Levy gulped. Lucy never called her that way, unless she was really annoyed. Her face was severe, looking straight ahead, and her whole body was stiff.
"No, but…"
"I can take care of myself you know that right ? I may be blind, but I'm not vulnerable, I know how to deal with life and people, because I already have, and you know that too. You were there, you've seen me deal with jerks. So please, if I want to be friend with Natsu, I will be friend with Natsu. And if he tries to abuse me, like you think he will, I'll be ready. I'm not a fool, I understood his lifestyle when I met him Thursday. But he didn't try to hit on me. That's a fact Levy-chan. That's why I'm giving him a chance."
Levy saw Lucy's severe and angry face smoothen at her last sentence. A small smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She had made up her mind. And she knew she would be able to handle him, of course, but… she was scared her friend may attach herself to the playboy, and end up being hurt. Really hurt, more than last time.
"Ok Lu-chan, I get it. I won't say anything now. But you have to promise to tell me everything !"
Lucy smiled again when she heard the concerned tone of her friend. She was just worried after all. She has been like her guardian with Plue for all these years, rarely leaving her side.
"Of course, I will tell you everything, I promise."
Gajeel chose this moment to get out of the bathroom, half naked, with a short towel lazily tightened around his lower waist. Levy blushed at the sight. So hot… But so indecent !
"Gajeel, don't walk around us half naked !"
"Why, gives you ideas ?" The black haired guy smirked.
"You're so dead…"
"Please don't ! I don't want our apartment destroyed ! I'll have a shower now, but remember, I can hear EVERYTHING ! So behave, lovebirds."
Gajeel cackled and walked in Levy's room. As for the bluenette, she took Lucy's cell phone again, and watched the second text she had hidden from her best friend, frowning with her face serious.
"yooo iceprik im headin to this girls place angel. white hair dude and boooobs ! think im gnna bang lucy tmorow nigh. seeya"
"I don't know you personally Natsu Dragneel, that's right, but believe me, you'll regret every bruise you plan to make on Lucy."
"Welcome to my dorm !"
"Hey Erza ! That's so nice of you to invite us !"
"Please Levy, it's my pleasure, you're both part of the family now."
Lucy, Levy and Gajeel entered the small dorm, where Gray, Juvia, Cana and Jellal already were, playing monopoly.
"Yeah, now that you date Gajeel, and even more as I heard, you'll have to spend more time with us freaks ! Come heeeere, have some booooze, I'm so happy for you two !"
Cana was already hugging Levy to death and offering her some dubious liquor.
"Oh and so this is the famous Lucy right ? Juvia couldn't stop talking about you... Long lost childhood friend she came across last week right? Want some booze too ?"
"Lucy, take my seat right here." Erza cut the brunette before she could make Lucy uncomfortable, and led the girl to a cosy armchair she usually never shared. Jellal and Gray smiled at this. She seemed to enjoy the newcomers a lot.
"Thanks ! What are you guys playing ? I heard dice rolling."
"Wow, can't hide anything from you, can we ?" Gray laughed. "We're playing monopoly."
"Oh great, I love this game, I know all the cards by heart. Is the dog still available ?"
"Noooo Lucy-san, Juvia wants to win for once !" The bluenette whined.
"What was that ?!" Cana exclaimed.
"Lucy-san is just so lucky all the time ! She never lost once since Juvia met her !"
"I confirm," Levy pursued, "Lucy was born under a great lucky star, I'm sure about that, that's almost unfair, she's lucky with EVERYTHING."
"Lucky star reeeeaally…" Cana stared at the blond with malicious eyes. Though Lucy couldn't see the stare, she could feel the competitive aura emerging from the drunk brunette. "I think this game will be… interesting. Let's roll the dice and see who they pick then, miss Heartfilia."
"Game on, booze girl ! And don't even think about cheating. I can feel it." Lucy smirked and tapped her nose with her pointing finger.
"I think I don't wanna play anymore." Gray pouted. "Two fucking lucky girls in a game of chance… not good."
"It's not just about chance Gray, it's also about strategy, how and when you will invest in properties, and…"
"Yeah yeah we get it, Mister I-only-speak-smart. Go back to your girlfriend and let's play."
Jellal sent Gray a dirty look but didn't reply. Lucy started to roll the dice. As she asked how much she got, the door bell rang. Erza stood up to open the door, and greeted a cute white haired girl with blue eyes, who looked a lot like Mirajane, Levy noticed. 'Could they be related ?'
"Yo Lisanna, you arrived just in time ! Grab a chair and help us kick Cana's and Lucy's ass !"
"Huh ? Why would I do that Gray ? Anyway sorry I'm late Erza, Mira wanted me to help her clean the cafeteria, and then I ran into Natsu on my way to your dorm."
Every body fell silent all of a sudden, and stared at Lisanna. Lucy wondered what was going on, she felt a lot of tension and uneasiness in the room.
"Take a seat." Erza said. "So… what did you say to each other ?"
"Nothing important… He told me he had detention, and that's why he couldn't come to your place."
"And… that's all ?"
"Yeah…" Lisanna sighed. She collapsed on a chair, eyes shut down, holding tears.
Levy and Lucy had absolutely no idea what was happening, but knew right away it wasn't good at all. They felt a bit like intruders… They couldn't just ask what the matter was like that. Lisanna finally opened her eyes, raised her head up and smiled.
"I'm sorry guys, I keep bothering you with this… let's play now ! Oh new people ! How are you, I'm Lisanna, Mirajane's sister, you know, the owner of the cafeteria and the bartender of our club ! We also have a brother, Elfman, he's studying abroad, but he should come back soon."
All of them released a sigh they didn't know they were holding, and every one relaxed, as Levy and Lucy introduced themselves. As the game went on, Lucy couldn't help wondering what happened between Natsu and Lisanna…
"Gray, Juvia, pssst, can we talk to you for a minute ?"
The couple turned around to see Levy and Lucy looking quite mysterious. The whole group was on their way to their usual nightclub. Juvia and Gray shared a look, then gathered around the two girls, whereas all the others continued on their way.
"Eer this is indiscrete but err…" Levy hesitated.
"We would like to know what happened between Natsu and Lisanna." Lucy said straight.
"Oh ! No problem Lucy-san, we can tell them, right Gray-sama ?"
"I guess… you'll learn it eventually. Lisanna was Natsu's longest date, 2 years ago. They dated for 5 months. It's like eternity in Natsu's love life. We all thought she would be the girl who would… make him grow up. But we were wrong. It ended bad. So bad."
"What happened ?" Levy asked with anxiety in her eyes and her voice.
"We never knew." Juvia answered. "We're sure there was a fight. We don't know what it was about though. Lisanna-san never told us the details. Natsu-san was really mad, and broke up with her the worst way ever…"
"Don't tell me he…"
"He cheated on her." Gray interrupted the bluenette. "He drank a lot, knowing he would hit on some girls, and brought one back to his dorm, knowing perfectly again that Lisanna would come apologize. All of this was so stupid… Natsu wasn't going to be mad forever, because apparently, well, it's really confusing, but Lisanna was in the wrong during the fight but not completely. And same for Natsu. They could have worked this through, see ?"
"Anyway," Juvia pursued. "What happened is, none of them wanted to talk to the other one. Or apologize. It was really difficult for us, because we were in the middle, friends with both. Juvia remembers, she stayed with Lisanna-san in the club, and the cafeteria, and class, while Gray-sama had to stay with Natsu-san. So tiring. But, little by little, they both calmed. Lisanna-san wanted to get close to Natsu-san again, she still loved him you see, but Natsu-san…"
"Natsu resumed with his past lust life, with more and more dates, more and more one-night-stands." Gray said sadly. "He wasn't mad anymore at Lisanna, but didn't want her again in his love life. We were worried about him, but we couldn't say anything, 'cause he would just yell and run away nobody knows where. Eventually, we had to accept his decision. After all, his actual lifestyle only reveals that he doesn't want to get attached anymore. But… I'm sure… it will not remain like that forever."
He shot a quick glance at Lucy. Levy caught that, and she wasn't sure she liked it.
"The actual problem is, Gray-sama, that Lisanna-san is still madly in love with Natsu-san… And she can't get over him. And we don't know what to do about it…"
Juvia sounded so sad to Lucy… she never heard her childhood friend so hopeless. She was the most optimistic cheerful person she has ever met ! This had to be a really bad story. Like the ones she liked to read and write about. Natsu… what happened ?
It took me litterally 1 hour to post this... my computer started to bug recently. I almost lost my chapter, i was sooo relieved i did not.
So how was it? Hope you don't regret the second chapter ! I don't :) Not fluffy at all, true, but i had to settle the story.
Please review !
I still love tiramisu, what's your favorite cake?
