Chapter 3

"Lu-chan!" Levy says with excitement, "I can't believe your an Elite!"

"You have to tell me if you find out anything juicy!" Mira shouts in my face as she grabs my shoulders.

"S-sure..." I mumble as the girls crowd around me.

"I can't believe it! You'll be with Natsu-kun!" Lisanna says happily.

"And Gray-sama!" Juvia squeals.

"Who have you go ya eye then?" Cana prods me.

"Well," I start quietly, "N-No-"

"I bet it's Natsu!" Mira shouts ever so loudily.

"He's so hot!" Lisanna gasps.

"But that means we won't see much of you, Lu-chan..." Levy's face saddens.

"Well I'll still be at this same desk, but just going to the Elites area frequently." I reassure.

"Oh? How come you aren't moving?" Mira asks.

"Erza said, it'll be hassle. She wants me to stay in a comfortable work environment." I tell her.

"Yeah, you did just get promoted to the Elites. Which is a lot to take in." Levy nods.

"All eyes will be on you." Cana winks.

"Especially since there are no girls on the Elites yet!" Mira gasps.

"Oh yeah, why is that?"Levy questions.

"I don't know," I ponder, "I'll ask Erza."

"That means the boys will be paying extra attention to ya!" Cana nudges me.

"Yes, since you are really pretty, Lu-chan." Levy smiles.

"Thanks." I smile back at her.

"Sting moved too, right?" Lisanna asks.

I nod.

"So Lucy won't be alone." Juvia comments.

"And since you and Sting already have a thing, it'll spice things up!" Mira talks as though my life is now a film.

"Okay whoa," I raise a hand and stop her; "Sting and I do not have a thing!"

"Admit it Lucy," Lisanna joins in, "I've seen you two."

"N-no." I shake my head and try and hide my blush.

"It's okay, Sting's pretty hot too." Cana shrugs.

"Cana!" I widen my eyes.

"But now Natsu's in the picture!" Mira emphasises.

"No one is in the picture." I say firmly, "Not Natsu or Sting or-"

"Sting?" A bitter, familiar voice comes from behind me.

I turn around in my seat and the girls make way for Natsu. My stomach churns, please tell me he did not hear everything.

"Natsu!" I shout in surprise.

"I need to borrow, Lucy for a minute, "Natsu walks up to me and grabs my arm, "Sorry girls." He says in a low, rather sexy tone. Ah, what am I thinking?

Natsu drags me out into the corridor forcefully.

"Ow-What is it?" He finally releases and I rub my arm.

"Here." He grabs my hand and places something in it.

I open my hand slowly, it was a key, "I forgot to give it to you."

"Thanks." I stare down at the key and begin to walk away whilst gripping the key securely in my hand.

Before I enter the office, Evergreen dashes up to me, "Did I just see, what I thought I saw?"

Oh God.

I can see Natsu from the corner of my eye glaring at us.

"Natsu," She starts, "What did he give you?"

"Well," I glance to him and see him storming over to us.

"Sorry, I need to talk to her for a second." Natsu says to Ever as he puts a hand on my shoulder.

"O-of course." She shifts her glasses.

Natsu walks all the way to the Elites' section, with me following behind. He then glances into the meeting room which was empty and walks in. I gulp and walk in after him. He closes the door.

"Idiot! What are you trying to do!" He slams his hand against the door, near my head – eek!

"I'm sorry! It wasn't my fault!" I apologize as my back touches the door.

"I told you to be careful!" He scolds.

"It wasn't my fault!" I glance away and fold my arms.

"I hope rumours don't start..." He mutters under his breath.

"Remember the most important rule I told you?" He stares at me intensely.

"I don't tell anybody about us living together?" I say quietly.

"Yeah." He grunts, "So it is in that Dopey head of yours."

"You're lucky it's late and most people have left, other than your annoying group." He says with such annoyance.

"Mess up like that again, and you'll be sorry." He hisses firmly as he leans his face near. I refuse to look at him and remain silent.

"Got it?" He grabs my chin forcefully and forces me to stare him in the eyes. He's too close.

I nod in slight fear. He's scary...

Finally he backs away and sighs.

I quickly rush out of the room with my heart sprinting and heavy breaths.

Until I bump into something, or rather someone; almost toppling over, but they grab my shoulders.

"Gray!" I gasp as I look up.

"Lucy?" He looks at me with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." I nod.

"Was it Pinky?" He sighs and shakes his head.

"No, no!" I shake my head desperately.

"I have to go, see you!" I smile briefly and rush off back to the girls.

"Lu-chan!" Levy gleams as I make my way towards her, "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine." I flash her a smile, "Where are the others?"

"Erza came and told us to get back to work." She whispers. I nod.

I sit back at my desk and decide to do some research Erza recommended I do.

"How long are you staying?" Levy asks, "I'm leaving in half an hour, after I finish proofing this article."

"I'll probably leave then too." I say.

"I would love to see your new place!" She tells me.

"I haven't finished moving yet and it's a real mess..." I shake my head.

"Oh well maybe when you've settled?" She smiles.

I nod and plaster a smile. Oh gosh...

"Bye Lu-chan." Levy waves as she walks away.

"Bye!" I wave back as we depart at the front of Fairy Tail Inc.

I walk back swiftly.

I sigh as I enter the house. What a crazy day, I'm beat.

"Natsu?" I call. But there's no response. He's probably still at work.

I decide to take a warm relaxing bath and by the time I get out, it's already dark. I walk around with a towel wrapped around my body and hum to myself.

Then the door opens and Natsu walks through the door. Ah, I forgot I share this house.

He smirks and scrutinized me with his eyes.

"Stop looking!" I scream, "Pervert!"

"Then don't walk around in a dam towel!" He shouts as he loosens his tie and unbuttons his shirt.

I dash into my room and get dressed. I look in the mirror too see my red hot cheeks. Why me?

I walk out my room and see Natsu on the couch.

"Have you ate dinner?" Natsu stands up and walks over to me.

I shake my head, "I'm gonna make something."

"Yeah, I was expecting to get a few meals out of havin' you stay." He looks back at the telly.

"Excuse me?" My eye twitches.

"I want something good out of you staying." He says casually as he walks past me into his room.

"I'm glad to be of use." I roll my eyes and begin preparing dinner.

I make dinner and set out the table for both of us.

He walks out with a surprised look, "Wow..."

"Hmm?" I gaze up at him.

"It smells really good." He says with shock as he takes a seat.

"T-thanks." I blush slightly.

I sit and we both tuck in.

"Oi, Luigi, it's pretty good!" He says with a stuffed face.

"Don't speak with your mouth full!" I shout at him like a child, "And it's Lucy!"

"Whatever, Mom." He rolls his eyes.
