~Dealing with Dragons and Female Mages~
Chapter 2
"Natsu! Where the hell are you?" Lucy yelled out into the bustling streets. Her call for her teammate/ boyfriend got a few stares but the blonde ignored them. She ran a tired hand through her bangs as she slumped down onto a café metal chair and ordered some hot tea. "Damn it, where is he?"
Lucy wasn't all that surprised that the fire user was hiding, considering her celestial spirits are on a heaven (more like a hell) bent mission to see Natsu dead. She wasn't as blind neither was she as stupid as people have a habit of think because she was big breasted and blonde. She saw the glares and hisses. She has heard the death threats and torture promises. Aquarius has actually come up to her a few times, saying that she's "taking back whatever I said you getting a damn boyfriend and going to kill that fucking pink haired brat." That got the mermaid a shake of a fist and a scream of, "Stay away from my boyfriend!"
Really, what is there that Natsu has that that the spirits hate? Even Aries and Plue hated him for some hell forsaken reason. "Lucy?" A soft voice and a gentle hand on her shoulder disturbed Lucy's thought line and she looked up to stare into Levy's brown eyes.
"Hey there Levy. What's up?" Lucy asked as Levy sat across her. The petite girl's hair was tossed and tangled and her clothes were covered in dirt. Levy sighed and cupped her chin with the backs of her hands. "Jet and Droy got so rude and stiff with Gajeel today that I finally had enough. After Gajeel stormed out to prevent their deaths by his hands, I went and talked to them outside in the forest to avoid bringing the rest of the guild into it. That argument soon turned into a fight involving magic. I stormed out of the area after knocking them out to cool off and to find Gajeel."
Lucy whistled and hand Levy her tea after calling over a waiter and asking for another cup of same drink. "Here, you need this more than I do." Levy took it with slightly shaking hands with a small "thank you". The much bigger girl, in more ways than one, took a sip of her green tea before a stray thought wandered into her brain about her friend and her missing boyfriend. "Hey Levy, what's life like living with Gajeel?"
Levy looked up from staring into her pale green colored drink with a very light pink dusted on her cheeks. "What do you mean, Lucy?" she squeaked out.
The celestial keeper shrugged and said, "I mean, what is it like living with a bad temper, metal wielding, eating, and wearing dragon slayer? Who also live with a flying panther cat that can grow ten times his size?"
The girl in the hotspot paused, her blush slightly darker than before, and a minute of paused. Levy's brows, once bunched up that indicated that she was gathering up her thoughts, started to relax and the girl took a small, deep breath before she started. "Gajeel has a simple home, which I like. Pantherlily is very kind and respectfully. I enjoy getting into a conversation with him about books and stories he has read or have heard. Gajeel sort of like that, but he and Pantherlily have had some arguments that have led to me ducking under an overturn table as they destroy the house. Thank all for Gajeel's need to have his privacy and decision to live out in the forest. There's also the times that he steps on my books, completely accidently, but he still stepped on them and you know how I am with books." Lucy nodded.
"We get into arguments sometimes, from big things like missions to stupid, small things like who ate the last of the pizza. I know I am not always the easiest to live with, but neither is he." Lucy, trying to hide her snicker, asked, "Is the makeup sex any good?" Green tea was promptly spitted out by a completely red faced Levy. "Lucy!"
The blonde shrugged her shoulders, still wearing a smirk on her slightly tan face. "I will take that as a yes." The word using mage cleaned her face off and asking with a certain gleam in her brown eyes, "Ok, then, how's life with Natsu, hmmm?"
Lucy's eyes drifted upward to the clear sky as she took a sip of her now slightly chilled tea. "Well, he's still Natsu. Loud mouthed, moody, and temperamental. Always ready to throw a comment out without thinking about it. I know I can be difficult to live with, sometimes acting overly protective and other times I'm about ready to pull what I have dubbed an "Aquarius". But he can also be very sweet and romantic. Remember the time that I stuck in bed for a week with a cold?" Levy, with complete rapt attention, nodded. "Well, it would have taken at least three dragons to pry him away from my side, and even then it didn't spelled success. Natsu fussed me over, worse than Happy did. He made soup, which was surprising good, and brought it to me, helped me to the bathroom, and just flat out took care of me like I was a princess."
Levy smiled gently as she finished her tea. "Can you imagine living without having Natsu as your partner?" Lucy shook her head 'no', "What about you? A life without Gajeel?" Levy also shook her head and said, "I don't think either of us can live without them now, can we?" The tiny mage's friend nodded in agreement.
The blonde gave out a small and quite laugh, "Damn. We have sooooo fallen head over heels for those two! Do you think there is a possibility we will die a peaceful death after living a peaceful, quite life?" There was a moment of dead silence before there was eruption of loud laughter. Levy's face was buried in her arms on the table, but her laughter was still heard clearly. Lucy was clinging to the table to avoid falling onto the ground. Their outburst caused several pairs of stranger's eyes to be turned their way, but the two friends ignored them. And, somewhere in a closet, Natsu and Gajeel let out a loud sneeze before cursing the closet's coldness.
