Hey everyone, Here's an update hope you guys like it. I am so sorry if this is late but you already know how it is, school is always trying to keep you away.
Well that's how I feel but anyway let's get on with it.
OoOoOoOo
When Levy opened the door to the club room, Lucy was surprised to see so little people here. She thought that since it was going to be a club it was going to be like 20-30 people here not like 8 or 9.
"Hey guys I want you to meet somebody." Levy said and the club members turned to look at her.
Levy moved aside and gestured to Lucy. "This is probably our newest club member that's if she wants to join."
Lucy was surprised to hear that but in her mind she was happy. "I would love to join your club."
Levy moved by her in a flash as she hugged her tight. "And we would love to have you."
"Hey, Levy introduce us already." A boy with a raven hair color said.
"Yeah, yeah," Levy waved at them but then looked at Natsu and smirked. "I think Natsu should introduce her."
Natsu raised a brow at her but then shrugged it off. "Okay, Guys this is Lucy Heartfilia." He said and continued but first he walked to everyone so she could know who they are. "And Lucy this is Erza Scarlet." He stood next to a red haired girl who nodded at Lucy as if saying hello, then he walked over to a blue haired girl. "This is Juvia Lockser," Juvia gave a small wave, he then proceeded to walk over to a white haired girl. "This is Mirajane Strauss," Mirajane smiled and said. "Please call me Mira." Then he walked over to a boy with blue hair who had a red tattoo on his face. "And this guy right here is Jellal Fernandes."
After that he walked over to a girl with brunette hair who is strangely drinking out of a 'water bottle' Natsu put a hand on her shoulder. "This is Cana Alberona and no it's not water its alcohol." Cana gave her a wave and started drinking again. Lucy giggled as she watches Natsu walk over to the raven haired boy who spoke before. "This idiot over here-"The raven haired boy protested a "Hey" Natsu ignored it and continued to introduce him. "Is Gray Fullbuster." The last one was a boy with a lot of piercings on his face and Natsu didn't bother to walk to him, he just pointed. "And the other idiot yet creepy guy over there is Gajeel Redfox." Gajeel just grunted.
He walked back over to Lucy. "And you already know Levy."
She nodded. "Okay I think I can handle that, and I would love to stay to see what you guys would do but I have to go home early today but tomorrow I'll be here on time and try to get to know everyone."
She waved a goodbye and started walking away but a voice stopped her.
"Wait, would you like for me to walk you home?" Natsu asked nervously.
A smile started spreading across Lucy's face as she nodded. "Yeah."
Natsu smiled himself and started walking away with her.
As soon as they walked out Levy made sure she ran to the door, looked outside to see if anyone was there, once the coast was clear she locked the door and began jumping up and down, squealing. The club members started staring at her like she was crazy.
Gray spoke first. "Uh Levy mind telling us what's wrong with you."
Gajeel put a hand on her shoulder. "Shrimp tell us... What's going on?"
She breathed deeply and put a hand on her heart. "Okay, guys I've got some really happy and surprising news."
"Just spit it out Levy." Erza boomed and crossed her arms.
Levy had shivers going down her spine and she nodded. "Okay while I was outside I saw Natsu and Lucy and you all know how Natsu never lets anyone touch his scarf right?"
They all nodded.
"He let Lucy touch his scarf!" She squealed, she heard some surprised gasps and two squeals from Mira and Juvia and also some grunts.
Mira ran up to her. "Oh my god! Levy are you serious?"
She nodded.
Mira jumped up and down with Levy and Juvia joined the party.
"No way, I won't believe it until I see it." Gray hmphed and crossed his arms.
"Yeah I agree with stripper over here."
"I kind of believe it, I mean they both look right for each other and Lucy doesn't seem like the type of girl who would hurt him... Unlike someone we know." Cana said as she muttered the last words.
"Alright I've got an idea."
"Shoot." Jellal said.
"Yeah my ears are all open." Erza put her hands on her ears.
"Okay the next time those two are together, we follow them and then we'll see how they act around each other."
"Sounds good to me."
"Yeah I'm up for a little spying."
"I don't care."
"Alright then it's settled we'll spy on Natsu and Lucy!" Levy yelled.
OoOoOoOo
Natsu and Lucy walked side by side, sometimes bumping each other's shoulder. It was a little cold outside and Lucy had nothing to cover herself with.
She shivered and tried to wrap her arms around her to make herself a little warm but it wasn't working.
Natsu saw her out of the corner of his eye. He started taking off his scarf, he breathed in a little and breathed out as he proceeded to take his scarf off when he did he stopped and watched her stop as well, she turned and looked at him with her beautiful innocent brown eyes and then he wrapped his scarf around her.
Lucy smiled as pink tinted cheeks made a way to her face and then she pushed her head into the scarf so he wouldn't see.
After he put his scarf around her he breathed again and grabbed a hold of her hand, he felt weird without his precious scarf but right now he would give it up for her... But why?
"Your hand is warm." She whispered.
His face flushed a bit. "Thanks." He whispered back and tightened his grip around her.
They both walked hand in hand, not even caring who stares. They walked in a comfortable silence to Lucy's home, neither one of them felt like this before but they can't say that they don't hate it. They've been walking for thirty minutes already and they could almost see Lucy's home.
When they arrived Lucy let go of his hand, she turned around and put her arms behind her back. "This is my stop."
Natsu nodded and started walking away but then he felt a hand latch onto his wrist to stop him from leaving he turned his head to look at her.
"Hold on I just want to say something," She held onto his hand and walked towards him, she then stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks again, this is the first time I've ever been happy while I was in school."
She was about to let go but both of Natsu's hand raised up and grabbed her face, leaning his head onto hers, she then wrapped her arms around his waist, His breath fanning across her lips. "The same goes for me too." He kissed her forehead and let go of her. "You can give me back my scarf tomorrow morning." He grinned showing his canine teeth and waved a goodbye as he left.
Lucy sighed and smiled, she ran into her house and opened the door and when she closed it she slid down, holding her hand on top of her heart.
"Lucy?" A voice called.
She looked up and saw her mother, Layla, who looked exactly like Lucy. "Mama," Lucy stood up and ran to her mother giving her the tightest hug she's ever given her.
Lucy's mom giggled. "I take it that you had a great day."
Lucy nodded furiously.
Her mother stopped giggling when something caught her eye, she rose a brow curiously and touched the scarf that was around her neck. "Yours?"
Lucy shook her head. "No a friend."
"A boy or a girl." Layla asked her brow still raised.
Lucy blushed and pushed her head into the scarf like she did before. "A boy."
Layla started smiling and then squealed, jumping up and down like a high school girl while still holding Lucy.
"Mama? You're not... Mad." Lucy asked innocently.
"Of course not, I'm happy!" She exclaimed and let go of her daughter. "I'm happy that you found someone!" She gasped and looked at Lucy. "Next time bring him over here."
Lucy laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head. "Mama we just met today, I want to get to know him first."
Layla hummed and tapped her chin in thought. "If you bring him over, I'll tell you if you two belong together or not."
Lucy blushed. "Mama I didn't ask for that?"
"Yes I know," Layla moved her hand and tapped her daughter's forehand. "But you're thinking it."
Lucy felt her cheeks getting hotter and she pouted while crossing her arms. "Whatever, I'm going to do my homework, tell papa I came home."
"Alright." Her mother waved.
As soon as Lucy went into her room she plopped herself onto her bed, her arms and legs spread out, she sighed. "Tomorrow needs to get here faster." She muttered under her breath.
OoOoOoOo
As soon as the morning hit and her alarm clock sounded off. Lucy got up and hurried out of her clothes to change into her uniform but not before she took a shower. She tied her hair up into the same pony tail she had yesterday after she finished she ran downstairs and grabbed her lunch, kissed her mother and father and bid them goodbye then she left through the front door and put the white scaly scarf on that Natsu gave her and began walking.
She made it to school in twenty minutes. When she walked into the class that she couldn't find yesterday.
She heard some people gasp and then a white haired girl started walking up to her stomping on the floor but before she could even make a comment the boy she met yesterday, Gray, grabbed her hand and brought her outside of the classroom.
Lucy yelped. "Hey what're you-"She couldn't finish her sentence because Gray clasped his hand over her mouth.
Gray let go of her until she calmed down, he stared at her in bewilderment. "So it's true..."
Lucy cocked her head to the side and rose a brow. "What's true?"
"Listen Lucy after Natsu walked you home yesterday did he give you that scarf?" He said pointing to the scaly thing.
She nodded. "Yeah after I said I was cold he gave it to me and told me to give it back to him today."
Gray gaped at her. 'What does Natsu feel for this girl?'
"Um... Gray could you let go of my hand."
He snapped out of his thoughts and let go of her hand. "Oh... Uh yeah sorry."
"Okay... I'm just gonna go back to class."
"Yeah me too."
She nodded and they both headed in. The whole class looked at her again, Lucy ignored them and started looking for one person and one person only, She couldn't find him so she just waltz down the classroom and sat in her seat that was next to him, the empty seat that was next to her was his and across from there sat the white haired girl she saw earlier, now she's glaring at her.
Lucy shook her head and turned it, she did not want to deal with that right now. Lucy sighed and put her head down waiting for him to come.
A few minutes passed and he hasn't shown yet.
She sighed mentally 'did I do something wrong yes-'Her thoughts were interrupted when the classroom door opened and in came a panting Natsu.
A huge smile formed on her face as she sat up.
"Sorry... I'm late... Mr. Fong." He panted.
"That's alright Natsu just go take your seat." The teach said.
Natsu nodded and went to go sit down on his seat beside Lucy, he ignored the usual squeal that was on the other side of him.
He turned to Lucy and grinned. "Hey." He whispered.
"Hey yourself." They stared and talked to each other for the whole period, until class was over.
When class finished Lucy got up and went to her locker and Natsu followed suit.
"Oh I forgot to give this back to you," Lucy took the scarf off and wrapped it around his neck and started patting it down. "There you go dragon." She smiled.
Natsu chuckled and put his hand on top of hers, mind you her hands were still on his scarf. "Is that a new nickname for me?"
She nodded. "Yep and only I can call you that."
"Hmm... Okay then... I'll call you Luce."
"That's fine with me... Dragon."
"Cool... Luce."
"Natsu~" A girlish voice called.
Natsu tried hard to tear his eyes away from hers, he lingered on it for a few more seconds until he turned around to see who called his name, he let out an irritated sigh. "Lisanna."
"What do you want?" He asked trying to hide his irritated tone of her ruining the moment he basically had with Lucy.
"Oh Natsu don't be so cold. You promised me that we would have lunch together." Lisanna said and clasped her hands together to make her look cute.
"I never said that Lis." He said un-phased by her cute manner.
"What? Natsu are you calling me a liar." Lisanna wiped a fake tear from her eye as she started to make a puppy dog face.
Natsu 'tched' and turned to Lucy his eyes looking gloomy until he felt a hand on his face, he looked at her and gave a small grin while she gave him a small smile. He heard her whisper. "It's okay Natsu, we'll meet up later... In the club."
He nodded and left with Lisanna but before she turned the corner with him she glared at Lucy and mouthed the words 'stay away' Lucy rolled her eyes and closed her locker, getting ready to walk to lunch by herself.
She stopped and heard a voice calling her, then turned, it was Levy again.
Levy came up to her, panting. "Lu-chan... We finally... found you."
Lucy tilted her head curiously and asked. "We?"
She nodded and gestured her hand to show the other girls. Lucy saw the girls from the club that she was in yesterday, she saw Juvia, Cana, and Erza."
"Yeah we wanted to walk with you." Erza said.
"Oh... Okay." She gave a big smile.
Cana raised a brow in curiosity. "Why're you so happy?"
"Hmm... Because this is the first time that I've ever had friends who actually wants to be friends with me."
The girls gave her a sympathetic look. Juvia walked up to her and patted her back. "Don't worry Lucy we aren't like those other girls, we already became your friends when you came to the club yesterday and we would've became friends either way even if you didn't come to the club."
"Oh that reminds me we have to have a little celebration for a newcomer." Erza said tapping her chin.
Lucy seemed surprised by this because she started waving her hands in front of their faces. "Um... Actually that's okay you don't need to do that-"
"Nonsense we always give a party for a newcomer." Levy interrupted her and patted her back as well.
"And you actually have to come, no skipping out because we will find you and we'll get Mira and Erza to drag you back in." Cana came up after them and drank her alcohol.
Lucy's sweat dropped. "Okay."
"Alright now let's head to lunch." Cana pumped her fist in the air.
When they walked into the lunch room Lucy smelled the air, they were having tacos and it made sense since today is Tuesday so it's called taco Tuesday. Lucy looked around again to look for him and when her eyes finally landed on his pink hair she frowned. There he was sitting at a table with the girl named Lisanna, she was clinging onto him but Natsu keeps swatting her away.
Lucy turned when she felt a pat on her back. "Don't worry Lu-chan he suits you better than he suits her." Levy had a mischievous glint in her eye.
Lucy face flushed. "I-I didn't say anything."
"Yeah... But we could tell." Juvia said.
"And plus you'll have him all to yourself when we go to the club meeting later." Erza came into view.
"Also a little heads up," Cana pointed at Lisanna and Mira. "Those two are sisters but you don't need to worry about that because she totally agrees with you and Natsu."
Lucy blushed at Cana's statement.
They went to go grab their lunch and sat down with the rest of the club members, except one person Lucy did not recognize. He was blonde and he had on these huge thunderbolt like headphones, he was also sitting next to Mira.
"Hey Lucy," Mira waved, she grabbed the huge guys arm and kissed his cheek to which he blushed at then she added. "This is Laxus Dreyer... My boyfriend, he is also a member of the club but he rarely ever comes to it."
"I see, well hello Laxus my name is Lucy Heartfilia and I just started the club yesterday." Lucy introduced herself.
"Hmm... Lucy huh. So this is Natsu's girl." He deadpanned.
Lucy's felt her face get hot. "I-I'm not h-his girl."
Then Gray slid into the table and pointed a finger out. "Yet."
"Yep and besides you looked really cute with his scarf on." Mira winked and giggled, thinking of many new ways to get them together.
"I still can't believe he lend you his scarf. I mean c'mon he doesn't take that thing off for nothing let alone give it to anyone." Gajeel said resting his head on top of his hand and tapping his fingers on his face.
"Yeah and I saw him laughing and smiling with Lu-chan too." Levy mentioned.
The crew gasped again and murmured.
"Seriously?"
"Levy you didn't mention that yesterday."
"Sorry I forgot."
"Lucy what the hell are you?"
Lucy suddenly became nervous. "Aha, if I may interject," Lucy raised her hand and got everyone's attention as she continued. "But he made me very happy as well, actually more than I've ever been in my entire life, when I met him yesterday he made me laugh and smile and he kept me warm as well and yesterday I sang a song that I promised myself I never wanted to sing again but when I met Natsu..." She trailed off and looked down at her lap smiling. "When I met him he gave me a reason to sing that song again."
The table was quiet they all stared at Lucy in awe. A squeal of joy broke the silence of the crew, Mira clapped her hands together and Levy and Juvia went along with it as well.
"Oh my god you two are perfect for each other!"
"Yeah I agree."
"Me too."
"Not wanting to believe it but yeah you two are."
Lunch became over after they had that little talk or big talk with Lucy. The club members are making a plan for Natsu and Lucy in secret.
After lunch finished Natsu stood up from the table and walked away but before he had the chance to Lisanna stopped him again. "Natsu~" She called and followed him.
Natsu stopped and turned, he sighed deeply. "Lisanna I already ate lunch with you, you don't need to follow me wherever I go."
"But Natsu you promised me that you would walk me too class."
Natsu grimaced. "I did not, stop making stuff up!" He clenched his fists in annoyance, if anything was irritating him right now it would be her.
She started to fake cry again. "But Nat-"
"Natsu." He heard his name being called by a very familiar voice he liked so much.
Natsu turned again and smiled as he breathed out her name. "Lucy."
She smiled. "Hey I was-"
He ran up to her and hugged her, happy to see another human being besides Lisanna and especially if that human being is Lucy. He spent nearly forty minutes with Lisanna at lunch and all she did was talk about herself, how he went out with her and survived he had no idea.
He sighed in relief and whispered in her ear only for her to hear. "Thank god."
She let out a small giggle and whispered to him as well. "I was looking for you."
He still held onto her but leaned back to see her face. "You were?"
She nodded. "I was gonna ask you if you wanted to walk to class with me, you know since someone else took you to have lunch." She muttered those last words quietly to herself.
They heard a throat being cleared and moved their heads to see. Lisanna came walking closer to Natsu and pushed him off of Lucy then clung onto his arm. "Excuse me but I was with Natsu first and he's going to walk me to class." She hissed.
Lucy was going to say something but someone else stopped her, Mira. Mirajane grabbed Lisanna's hand and started walking away.
"Wha-, Mira-nee what are you doing?"
"Lisanna I need your help with something, so come with me." Mira said and led the way out, her head tilted just a bit and Lucy clearly saw a wink before Mira left completely.
Lucy closed her eyes and shook her head in amusement but she couldn't hide the fact that she blushed.
She felt someone touch her hand and she opened her eyes. "Alright now let's get to class." Natsu said and led the way to the next class they had together.
OoOoOoOo
After school they went into the clubroom, Natsu and Lucy being late together. As soon as they walked in the members yelled surprise for Lucy.
Lucy jumped a little, definitely being surprised by them and then she heard Natsu chuckle, she turned her head to him and pouted. "Not funny dragon."
"Sorry but it kinda was."
Gray who heard what Lucy had called him tilted his head in question. "Dragon?"
Lucy looked at him and nodded and then pointed at Natsu. "I call him that because he reminds me of a dragon."
"Really?" Mira asked.
Lucy nodded.
Mira had an all knowing smirk growing on her face and evil glint in her eye. "And how do you feel about that Natsu."
Natsu already knew what she was implying, shot her a look and then shrugged. "I feel okay about it."
Mira hummed and moved closer to him. "Really~"
Natsu moved away and grimaced. "Yes Mira Really."
Mira gave out a loud sigh and went back to her boyfriend Laxus. "Okay."
Lucy giggled and looked around the entire room, they decorated everything and made lots of food and the banner also said "welcome Newcomer "Where did they find that anyway? She shook her head and turned around to meet everyone's faces, she smiled. "Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it and I'm glad to be a part of the club."
Almost everyone smiled and just two grunted.
Mira smirked again as an idea popped into her head. "Oh now someone needs to kiss the newcomer, it's tradition." She said pointing her finger out.
"Yeah and I know who it should be." Levy said.
Some nodded, knowing what those two are up to, Juvia came in and said. "Natsu should do it?" She suggested going along with their little plan.
Natsu and Lucy's eyes widened and Natsu came up and waved his hands around in the air. "Whoa, whoa, whoa... Wait what? Since when that was a tradition."
"Well Natsu we've always done it to newcomers before I'm surprised you didn't notice." Mira looked at him, wiggling her brows.
He glared at her. "I do notice and we've never done that before to make it as a tradition."
Mira walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Oho, silly Natsu, we did that last year and the year before that. I'm sure you saw one of us at least kiss."
"No I haven't!" He yelled getting annoyed by this stupid tradition that they clearly made up... But why is he getting so upset? Everyone became quiet, they never expected him to yell because of this. Natsu turned with an angry look on his face but when he saw Lucy's concerned one he calmed down a bit.
He inhaled and exhaled.
"Whoa are you okay flame brain?" Gray asked.
"Yeah." That was all he said before he stormed out of the room.
Lucy looked down at her feet.
"Wow, flame brain." Gray breathed out.
Mira looked guilty as she moved closer to Laxus. "I didn't think he would yell like that."
"Yeah we were only joking." Cana said.
Levy walked towards Lucy and put a hand on his shoulder. "Lu-chan I think you should talk to him?"
Lucy shook her head and smiled. "I don't think I should be the one to do that right now I mean we only met as of yesterday... It should be someone he cares about."
Erza gave a small smile and shook her head in disapproval. "Lucy believe it or not but you are actually the best person that suited to comfort him right now."
"I agree bunny girl, you should go talk to that stupid cousin of mine."
Lucy tilted her head at the nickname he called her. "Bunny girl?"
Gajeel nodded. "Yep you just sort of remind me of a bunny."
She nodded and gave a cheeky grin. "I like it and okay I'll go talk to Natsu."
She left out of the clubroom to look for him as she didn't notice the smiles behind her and the murmurs of. "I really do hope they get together soon."
OoOoOoOo
After he left the clubroom he ran to a safest spot he could find, his secret spot that he found one day when he was dating Lisanna.
He sighed for the hundredth time today. "What the hell is wrong with me?" He asked himself.
He face palmed and shook his head. "It's not like I didn't want to kiss her I was just... Panicking." He felt a pang in his heart. 'I mean what if she didn't like me, we only met yesterday and I already feel like I can do anything when I'm around her'
He groaned. "Why the hell does she have to be so pretty and innocent and she has to look at me with those big beautiful... Brown eyes." He groaned again and leaned down to ruffle his hair.
"Dammit." Natsu muttered.
He heard a voice behind him and he turned, his eyes widened no one knows where this is except him. He gets there by crawling through a hole and on the other side is a beautiful view, there's grass, flowers, rose pedals and blossoms everywhere and a little farther you can see a lake that you can go into with the sound of a waterfall from above.
Every time he comes here he feels like he went through another world and this is the only place that he can go to that has peace and quiet and he has never ever showed it to anyone.
He heard a girl's voice. 'Are you serious right now?'
A scowl started to form on his face and a tick mark appeared on his head, 'What the hell I never told her about this place'. He mentally yelled in his mind.
"Ugh this is disgusting," Lisanna came through the hole and muttered, while dusting herself off, she then looked up and smiled. "Hey Natsu~" She sang.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" He yelled.
"Hmm, don't you remember, you told me." She blinked innocently.
He glared at her. "You are a psychopath," He pointed back to the hole. "Leave. Now! This is my place and I don't want you here."
Her fake tears came back. "But Natsu-"
"No I don't want to hear it, I said I was done with you, I thought we could be friends but we can't. So sorry Lis but I don't wanna be with you anymore."
She got ready to speak but Natsu wasn't having it, he shot her a look. "And you already know why."
He started leaving, crouching down to go through the hole but before that he looked back one last time and said. "I don't want to see you here ever again."
And with that he left through and crawled to the other side, back to reality.
"Natsu!"
He heard another girl's voice calling his name as he turned to look at who it was he was tackled with a hug, almost losing his footing in the process.
"Natsu." She whispered and held on tighter.
He smiled and muttered one name that passed his lips. "Lucy."
OoOoOoOo
And done, I hate taking so long I could've finished earlier but as I said before, because of school.
Also Lisanna won't do anything bad to Lucy and she just wants Natsu back but he just doesn't want her anymore. Also at chapter four it's going to be a passing a month, you know for Halloween and stuff~.
Maybe it'll be a lemon on chapter four or six.
Just wait and see Beauty out~ :-}.
