A/N: Man updating the day after? I'm spoiling all of you. I was actually going to leave this for another day but then I was like why not just feed the readers now? Anyways, this chapter isn't as long as the previous one but you'll find that my chapter will change length depending on what it contains. I will say that I won't ever have a word count below 500 though. It's kinda like this little thing that I have developed now.
Enjoy :)
Natsu stared at his phone, sighing. Somehow he had managed to sneak back into his house in the early hours of the morning without anyone noticing him and thank fuck for that. Seriously. Whoever decided that this one thing could go right for him was the real MVP. Natsu just wasn't prepared to talk to his parents, to tell them that he had lost the girl that they had adored so much. Yup, the next few days would be spent avoiding his parents… and getting to know a certain blonde of course.
This leads us back to the sigh from early. What did he expect though? She was completely smashed last night. There was no way in hell that someone with a hangover that bad was going to be up at nine in the morning. He couldn't think to get a text back until at least late afternoon. So why the fuck was he sitting here moping like some puppy that missed its master?
Natsu groaned. He had just met her once and she was totally wasted then! What if she is a complete and total bitch when she's sober? What if she likes to chew on other people's hair? She was a complete and utter mystery to him… and he liked it.
"What the hell is wrong with me," he whispered while preparing to smother himself in his own pillow. He just got out of a relationship and now he was going after some other girl? Natsu was an embarrassment and he hated that fact. Soon his reputation, his friends and his parent's love would be going down the drain. It was the domino effect really. Fuck up one thing and soon everything else will be crumbling around you.
Maybe Natsu should start collecting something like dolls or rocks, or maybe the souls of the dead? That was usually how people dealt with their despair, wasn't it? If he knew where his life was headed he may as well start-
Natsu sat up with lightning speed. Did his… Did his phone just vibrate? He picked it up like a kid on Christmas and he smiled so wide his cheeks started to hurt almost instantly.
Drunk Girl: "Who dis?"
Time to get serious. This was something that needed to go well and god be damned if he fucked it up, which was seriously likely. Natsu put on his game face. This response needed to be suave, humorous and charming, something that would catch her attention and make her interested.
Natsu: "The guy that you were all over last night ;)"
Waiting, waiting, waiting…
What the fuck? Did he seriously just ruin his chances within the span of like two seconds!? This was a new record. He should be getting an award or-
Drunk Girl: "Oh."
But alas all hope hadn't abandoned him yet! He could save this.
Natsu: "I'm totally joking. You just gave me your number and… Do you remember any of last night?"
Drunk Girl: "Do I want to?"
This made him smile. So she was, at least maybe a little bit, like her drunken self. This also made Natsu think. Did he even want her to remember what had happened the previous night? Part of him said yes but the other side screamed no. He had opened up to her somewhat and he didn't know how he could be her friend if she did remember that.
Natsu: "I never got your name last night."
Drunk Girl: "I'll tell you if you answer me these two questions I have."
Natsu snorted before texting back an 'ok.'
Drunk Girl: "Who are you and… We didn't kiss last night, did we?"
Natsu: "Natsu Dragneel and you tried but were unsuccessful."
He waited for her response again.
It was so strange. Talking to this girl almost seemed natural to him. Not only that but also this girl obviously went to the same high school as him since they were at the same party, so why hadn't he seen her around before? She was hot too. How could he miss someone like that? Natsu hadn't even heard his friends talking about her, he would've noticed if they had. Sure his school was big but Natsu was popular. He thought he would've known at least majority of his peers…
Drunk Girl: "It's Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia."
Natsu smirked. Well, it didn't matter that he hadn't known this girl before because the most important thing was that he knew her now and he was going to find out all about Miss Lucy Heartfilia.
Yo, how was it? I hoped you liked it! If you did then please REVIEW. Getting responses on my work fuels me to write more :p
Also a reminder to read the A/N sometimes. They just might contain some answers to your questions :)
