I basically was too lazy to type up this chapter, so it might be a little rushed, but I had to do it because of a review from sweetwithobsessions but thanks to all those who reviewed too. Natsu is purposefully OOC. Well, here you go.
If I owned Fairy Tail, Lucy and Natsu would've had their 30 babies by now.
This story may seem a bit...Meh, at first, but this is the end of the Intro, and from the next chappy on, its going to b- Different. Sorry, no spoilers, you just have to read. :D
Lucy, who was supposed to keep the order in the partnership, was actually the oblivious one, oblivious to what Natsu really thinks, and as the cat and dragonslayer quarreled, she stood up and walked over, pretending to limp on her "injured" foot, still in the act.
"H-Hey guys, we should head back to the guild...To look for a mission...And pay for my rent..."
Natsu and Happy stopped arguing, and looked at the Celestial Mage.
"But Luce..." Natsu spoke, cocking his head a bit. "How can you go on a mission when your foot's hurt?"
Damn it, he got me...
Lucy nervously chuckled, smiling.
"But I have to, for you guys, right?"
The pinkette nodded, smiling at Lucy, and then walking over, and then swooping the unsuspecting mage off her feet, bridal-style, as he smirked at her red face.
"Thanks Luce..."
The dragonslayer smiled, starting to walk down the grassy path towards Magnolia, with a flustered Luce. Said girl stole a glance at Natsu, and saw that he was calm, not at all nervous like her.
How can I make Lucy admit that she's upset? She's not mad at me...
The pink-haired mage looked down at the celestial mage to see her fidgeting in his tan, muscular arms, and he smirked as she played with her hands, mentally cursing Natsu for his fit bod.
More like how can I make her admit that she's in love with me...
"Hey Natsu, what are you thinking about? You have a smug look on your face."
His onyx eyes looked down into her chocolate-brown ones, and he chuckled before shifting her in his arms.
"Just planning how I can beat up that ice bastard!"
Lucy rolled her eyes and looked away, muttering something about immature guys, and Natsu inwardly sighed a breath of relief, looking away.
But I have got to be careful...Lucy's not stupid.
Said girl looked up with an unfamiliar look on her face, as if she was admitting something personal, and she looked at her fidgeting hands in an attempt to hide her blushing face.
"Hey, Natsu, when you woke up this morning, and I was right next to you, did you...find it weird?"
The pink-haired mage slowly shook his head, hoping she didn't catch the knowing glint in his dark eyes.
"Nothing? Not intimate? Not strange? Its completely normal to wake up next to a girl?"
"Geez Luce, you're acting so weird...Is your toe causing all that?" He teased, and as expected, Lucy began to object.
"Well, I-I just wanted to get that out! My toe isn't causing all that! I j-just stubbed it, so it hurts! It has nothing to do with my m-!"
"Calm down, I was just kidding. Let's ask Wendy to bandage it up so you can stop acting strange."
Lucy huffed and crossed her arms over her ample chest, and Natsu kicked open the doors to Fairy Tail, receiving silence at first, but then cat calls and surprised whispers were directed at the two, and Lucy looked up at her partner to see his reaction, but he was just confused, and she pouted.
God, he's so dense.
"U-Uh, thanks Natsu for carrying me back because my toe hurts!" People turned back around, disappointed and muttering about how dense the couple was.
The dragonslayer set his partner down on the stool, sliding his hand down to her bottom to set her down gently, while she squeaked and Natsu ran off to find Wendy, and Mira appeared in front of Lucy with a devious grin.
"I knew it! You two are finally a couple! I knew it! I have to ask Sting for my mon-"
The celestial mage let out a dejected sigh, shaking her head.
"Natsu's too dense. I lied to him about stubbing my toe because I was upset that he didn't find this morning intimate."
The white-haired barmaid's jaw dropped, and she leaned forward, setting her glass down.
"You did what?! Something intimate? With Dragneel?!"
Lucy slapped a hand over Mira's mouth, nervously laughing and glancing around at the shocked faces.
"No, Mira, I woke up next to him, with my clothes on, and keep your voice down!"
"Woke up next to who?"
Lucy squeaked at the husky voice, turning away from Mira and waving at Wendy.
"H-Hey, Wendy, and *gulp* Natsu, I think my toe's getting better and I-I don't need to waste your time to bandage it, so, thanks! Haah.."
Wendy nodded, but it seemed like a nod of sympathy, and she smiled and offered to help whenever she could before moving away. Lucy turned back away, not meeting Natsu's eyes and asking for a cool glass of water, Natsu sitting next to her with a confused expression.
"Are you sure you're feeling fine, Luce? Your face is all red..."
"I'm fine! I'm fine.."
Yep, I'll make her admit sooner or later. Somehow.
