Chapter 3

.

Lucy's throat felt like sandpaper as she gulped. She couldn't look away as Natsu's eyes locked into hers. Juvia blinked twice, looking at Natsu, then to Lucy before looking at him again. Levy raised her eyebrow and tilted her head a bit. "Erza?" She voiced out, breaking the silence. Natsu replied her with a not-so-innocent smile.

"Yeah, Erza, at least that what she told me." Natsu nodded towards Lucy. Lucy could only frown at him as she was asking to herself, since when did she changed her name. Her eyes widened as she remembered a scene that flashed in her mind.

"What's your name then?"

Shit.

"Umm… It's… It's-" Her eyes glued on a certain poster of girl, posing confidently with bold words printed below, 'It is my honour to serve the school!' Mentally apologised to her, she then said,

"My name is Erza! Erza Scarlet!"

Lucy gapped and mentally slapped her cheeks.

Why the hell did I said that?!

Juvia looked at Lucy and back at Natsu she cleared her throat catching everyone's attention. Lucy looked alert as she watched her bluenette friend opened her mouth. "Umm…" Juvia made a thin line with her lips as she confused with the situation right now. "Juvia… Juvia think you had the wro-"

"YES!"

Everyone surprised as Lucy suddenly exclaimed while slamming her hands on the table. Lucy blinked once, not expecting her voice was that loud. She just laughed nervously at them as she picked up her bag slowly. She slung it on her shoulder and took one last deep breath and flashed him with a smile.

"I-I mean… Yes, my name is Erza." Even though her eyes right now were looking at Natsu, she literally felt the disbelieving look from her friends. Not wanting her problem to be more complicated, she walked towards him, she quickly shoved him outside from the class. "I believe you have a question to ask so let's talk outside."

Natsu moved backwards as Lucy pushed him out. "Wait-" Natsu looked at her but Lucy just keep smiling. "There's no time to waste. Let's go. Bye guys!" She waved her hand at the girls who were still gapping, eyes widened at her. She closed the door leaving the room in silence.

Cana brought up the bottle full with alcohol and pit it inside her bag. "I guess that's a sign saying I'm too much alcohol." Levy blinked once. "Are you actually… drunk? You've never, like ever, stop drinking." Cana groaned dramatically and looked at her with her eyes squinted. "Well duh, my eyes were seeing things. I just saw Lucy just walked out with our school's favourite delinquent." Juvia just sighed.

"No Cana, you're not seeing things. Lucy just really went out with him." Cana stared and in spilt second, she quickly packed her things, pushing her stuffs inside her bag. She realised both of her friends were still doing nothing. "What are you waiting for?! Come on, Lucy need our help!"

"Who's fault is it in the first place?" Levy taunted with her eyebrow. Cana just shrugged. "Not mine that's for sure. It's Lucy since she's the one who accepted my bet." Juvia and Levy could only smiled disbelieve. "Come on, the slower we moved, the slower we can save Lucy!" Cana grabbed both of their hands.

"I wonder what happened with Lucy right now." Juvia asked to Levy as they walking fast at the hallway. "Well…" Levy placed her finger on her cheek. "Probably wishing for her death."


I want to die.

Lucy groaned inwardly and she held tightly to her bag. Walking home with a delinquent is not one of her bucket list. Like, this is literally a freaking death wish. Oh wait, maybe this is way how she met her death. Nice one, God. She swore she will never make with Cana. Ever. Unless she had a chance to win it then, she will make one.

No! This is not the time to think another bet! Stupid brain.

"So."

Lucy flinched when a voice interrupted her thoughts. "What was that all about?" Natsu asked as he slipped his hands in his pocket. Lucy just smiled nervously. "I… I just thought you want to meet in private?" It was a question rather than a statement. A chuckle escaped from his lips making Lucy blushed. "W-What? What so... so funny about that?" Lucy couldn't help but stutter.

Her question just made him laughed out loud. He wiped some of his tears and flashed a smile. "Nah, It's like you can read my mind. I do want to meet you in private." Natsu then silenced for a while. Lucy just stared at the road. It was rather a nice silence between them, not as awkward as she thought.

He… seems nice…

Lucy just bitted her lips as she felt her blushed crept on her cheeks. "Oh yeah." Natsu stopped walking making her too stopped. Lucy looked him and saw a serious expression on his face. "I do have a question for you actually." Lucy tilted her head a bit as she waiting for him to speak. Natsu let out a sigh and said.

"Go out with me."

It took her exactly 30 seconds to process his words.

"What?"

Natsu just smirked wider as Lucy's blank face entertained him. "You heard me. Go out with me." Lucy could only blink as if her brain stopped functioning. In split second her face turned into different shades of red. "W-What?! We… We just met less than two hours and you asked me out?!"

Wait, it's more to statement than a question- Are you fucking kidding me, brain?! That's like the least thing I should worry about, for Pete's sake! I need to say something. FAST.

"Look, I know I said you're nice-" "You did?" Lucy halted for a second.

Fuck.

"I-I mean!" Lucy grabbed his arm, struggling to explain to him. "I mean, I did. In my mind!" Before she could continue, Natsu interrupted her. "So, I'm nice?" Natsu smirked wider, more than he meant to as he actually enjoyed the situation. "That's not the point!" Lucy could felt her hands shaking as she held his arm.

"You can't just ask me out, like we're barely know each other-" "But you said I'm nice." Natsu pouted as he asked her in a tease tone. "YES, YOU ARE NICE!" Lucy exclaimed. "Now, let me finished first!" Lucy gritted her teeth, frustrated as Natsu kept cutting her words. Natsu swore he was so close to break out in laughter.

"Like, I said. You can't ask someone out that you barely know." Lucy stopped as she glared, warning him not to interrupt her. Natsu just smiled and shrug. "And who know, maybe she's a serial killer!" Lucy place her hands on her hips, didn't care much that she exaggerated in her explanation.

Natsu snorted and made a small smile. "And like you said I am nice and I'm not a serial killer for sure. Are you a serial killer?" Natsu raised his eyebrow. Lucy just bit her cheeks and pressed her lips together. "No, but probably be one if you keep cutting my words." Lucy mumbled but it still can be heard.

Natsu just laughed at her answer, making Lucy rolled her eyes. "I'm serious, Dragneel." Despite her words, you can easily heard her joking tone. "Not need to be formal with me. Just call me Natsu." His soft smile made her heart skipped a beat. He then bent down a little, making her stepped back once.

"If you're not a serial killer, then that's not a problem." Natsu smiled sheepishly. Before Lucy could argue more, Natsu continued. "But then, I still have a solid reason to ask you out." Lucy frowned, wondering what was it. She didn't realised their face were few inches apart. His hot breath warmed her face.

"I probably fell in love with you in first sight."


Rin: And doonnee! God, it's been a long time since I update. College gave me so much stress and assignments to finish, making me have less time for ff. Urgh.
