Chapter two: So, Pinky has a Name
Lucy POV
I don't know how to react at first. So, I end up staring at this guy with pink hair.
"Sorry about your drink lady, but if it wasn't for that stripper Erza wouldn't have thrown me in the first place" he says, pointing to the guy he was fighting not so long ago. He pulls the pink haired one up by his vest and they start going back and forth, just yelling, but I don't pay attention.
I'm sitting there and stare at my milkshake. That milkshake was one of the best I've ever had, but these monsters just destroyed it. I sit there simmering in the anger that is slowly, but surely, building inside of me. That's when I feel something on my shoulder.
I look up to see the pink haired guy looking at me, and his lips are moving like he's talking, but I don't hear anything. Just seeing his face reminds me of my poor strawberry milkshake. So, I did what any other rational person would do. I stood up and flipped him over my shoulder. When he's down I twist his arm so it's behind his back and hold it there.
"Ow! Hey lady what are you doing to me?! I was asking if you were okay!" he screams, and I can actually hear him this time. To the side I can hear the topless one laughing, but after I send him probably one of the nastiest glares I've ever made his way, he stopped immediately.
"My milkshake," I say simply and quietly, when I finally answered his question.
"What?" he asked, confused. How could he not know what I was talking about. The very shake that I was able to get for free, was now all over him. And may I say, that for a free shake it was the best I've ever had.
"My milkshake, you had destroyed the table I was at , and now you're covered in my milkshake," I say, getting angrier the more and more I think about it.
"I'll buy you a new one, just please let go of my arm before it rips off!" he says, and I released him immediately because I really want to drink a milkshake and continue to read my book. So, I follow pinky back to where Mira was. When we got there Mira had looked so angry with pinky that even I was scared for a second, but then she had a smile on her face again.
"Natsu, what did you do to the poor girl? She's new to town and you're about to scare her away," Mira said to pinky, whose name is apparently Natsu.
"Don't blame me, blame Gray. Anyway, can I get a milkshake for…" he says trailing off. Why do people feel it necessary to know the names of the people around them even if they're just some rando from a cafe?
"Hi Mira, you can probably guess what happened," I say, pointing to the now probably very sticky Natsu. "May I get another milkshake, please. The first wasn't half bad."
"Wasn't half bad? You nearly tore my arm off because I spilled this one!" Natsu said, pointing to multiple places on himself that was covered in the delicious beverage.
"Well I'm just glad you liked it, and this one will be on the house too on the account of that," Mira said, motioning in the direction of Natsu with the wave of her hand.
"If you keep giving me free milkshakes like this I may never leave," I say jokingly. 100% joking, the idea was tempting though. If Mira keeps making milkshakes to die for, then I just might come back again.
"If I'm not needed, I'm going to get this pink stuff off me," Natsu said, bring my attention back to him.
"I don't think a some soap and a little scrubbing is getting that out your hair," I say, turning my attention back to Mira who went to make another smoothie.
"Haha, I've never heard that one before," he said, and I could basically hear him rolling his eyes without having to look at him.
"You brought it to yourself. I mean who chooses to have their hair like that," I say actually, turning to him.
"For your information I lost a bet," Natsu shot back, pretty quickly. He probably has to say that a lot because that's a pretty bright pink. After an awkward moment of just standing there he sticks out his hand, "Natsu Dragneel."
I just stare at his hand. I mean, is he really expecting an introduction? Why would I owe this man my name, the only thing he's done for me is destroy my alone time, and disrespect my milkshake! After a while of me just staring at his hand just reaches out and grabs mine.
"You're supposed to shake it like this, and greet me back," he said before finally letting my hand go. Who does he think he is manhandling me like that? That's probably the first human contact I've actually had in a while though, and I don't know if that's impressive or sad.
"Why don't you go and get yourself cleaned up pinky," I say turning to sit in one of the bar stools as Mira walks up and sits my milkshake in front of me.
"I will but not because you said so. I will be back, and we will have a friendly conversation, even if it kills you," he said while walking off with a wave. I laugh a little because if we do have a friendly conversation it will definitely kill me.
