NALU PROMPT #4 – SECRETS
It was a gorgeous day. Lucy was in great spirits as she skipped to the guild. A crew would be meeting there to prepare the feast that would be held that evening in celebration of the new guild hall. The guild would remain closed today for the preparations. She held items for the decorations in bag slung over her shoulders. There was so much to do! Decorations, cooking, setting up tables…
"Lucy!" Levy interrupted her thoughts, hurrying to catch up to her friend.
"Hey Lev! Where's Gajeel?" Lucy glanced around her. These days, it was unusual to see one without the other.
Levy blushed heavily, "What do you mean? He'll be here when he's ready…from his house…he'll come from his house when he's ready. I haven't seen him!"
Lucy shot her a knowing glance, stifling her giggle, "It's just us, Lev…you don't have to pretend…"
Levy's face was beet red, "Yeah, well, I'm not pretending anything. He'll come from his house…when's ready…"
Lucy laughed out loud this time, "Does that mean that you came from his house too?"
Levy playfully swatted at Lucy's supply bag, "C'mon Lu…you know I don't keep secrets from –"
Her mouth dropped in horror as she smacked Lucy's bag a lot harder than she thought she had. The bag flew from Lucy's shoulder, fracturing all over the ground. The contents spilled everywhere.
"I'm so sorry!" Levy exclaimed.
Lucy laughed, "No problem! I'll just have to carry the supplies since the bag wrecked."
"I'll help you!"
Levy started to bend down to help pick up items when she halted, staring at Lucy's hunched over form. She could barely see it, peeking above the waist band of Lucy's skirt…the coloured edges of…
"IS THAT A TATTOO?" Levy bellowed.
Lucy paled, then jumped on top of her friend as Macao and Wakaba walked past, covering her mouth.
"KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!" Lucy hissed.
"Well…is it?" Levy whispered, her bulged eyes staring up into Lucy's.
"DAMN THAT'S HOT!" Droy yelled as he and Jet passed by about 50 feet to the left of them, "Now we know why Levy wasn't into us, Jet!"
Lucy and Levy exchanged horrified glances, then scrambled to get off of each other. Lucy gathered her supplies in a huff, stomping off toward the guild kitchen where she would be coordinating the decorations.
"Where'd you get it?" Levy whispered loudly, rushing to keep up to her.
"I don't know where it came from!" Lucy stressed to Levy. She quickened her pace, hoping to lose her blue-haired, wide-eyed best friend.
"Please, Lu! Just slow down! Let's talk about this!" Levy reached out to grab Lucy's shoulder, instead tripping over a leg. Both Lucy and Levy crashed to the ground.
"Morning girls! Barely 10:00 am and you're already falling for me?" Cana laughed at her own joke, already partway through her morning barrel.
Lucy bent over, picking her supplies up again. She was seriously rethinking this skirt and top combination…and if this was an indication on how today's festivities would go, she'd just go home and hole herself up with a good book for the rest of the millennium!
Cana squinted, then cried out in surprise, "Lucy's got a tramp stamp!"
Lucy face-palmed, then stalked off toward the guild. Her supplies remained strewn all over the ground.
"She says she doesn't know where it came from," Levy told Cana.
Levy and Cana exchanged glances, then rushed after Lucy.
"It's on your ass!" Cana exclaimed, "One does not get a tattoo ON THEIR ASS and not know where came from!"
Juvia's eyes widened with interest as she approached the girls, "Lucy has a tattoo on her ass?"
Lucy slapped away Juvia's hands as she pulled at Lucy's waistline to take a look.
"Get away from me!" Lucy snapped, backing away from all the girl, "Look, I honestly don't know where it came from…so back the hell off!"
Cana laughed as she, Levy and Juvia boxed her in.
"Just a little look!" she pleaded.
"No!" Lucy yelled, trying to push past the nosy girls, "I just woke up with it one day, okay? It's not even new! I've had it for like…2 months! I saw it on my way into the shower one day. Maybe some wizard cursed me or something. I have no clue."
"No clue about what?" Gray asked, sauntering into the otherwise empty guild hall.
"Where her secret ass tattoo came from," Cana said bluntly.
Lucy shot her a venomous glare.
"Ass tattoo!" Gray gawked, "Can I see?"
"NO!" Juvia and Lucy yelled together.
"Well, what is it?" Mira appeared out of nowhere, also reaching for Lucy's ass, "I mean – did anyone get a clear look it?"
Lucy covered her eyes with her hands after belting Mira away, "Oh my gawwwwwd. I'm outta here! Screw all of you! Prepare for the party ON YOUR OWN!"
The group gawked as Lucy pushed passed all of them, stomping off toward town.
"She's touchy today," Mira commented.
Her friends nodded, grunting their agreement before getting back to their task of preparing for the party.
Lucy turned the shower on, the steam over the bathroom and clouding the mirrors. Sighing heavily, she began to strip.
Tomorrow, everyone would forget that she even had it. She'd simply visit the wizard's supply store and pick up a little something to ensure that.
In the fogginess of the mirror, she smiled to herself, brushing her finger lightly over the tattoo. She loved the detail of it…the red dragon wrapped with her Fleuve d'étoiles. Fond memories flitted through her head. A small smile graced her lips.
OH BOY, did she remember where the tattoo came from…but her lips would remain sealed til her dying day. It really would be best if it remained her own little secret.
