Hellllo everyone (: ! Finally, chapter 4! Im so sorry about this late upload. This is by far my longest chapter which I am proud of.
Enjoy!
The Actual Date.
It's 5th period, Friday, and I'm bored. I'm excited and nervous to go on this "date" with Lucy but time is, unfortunately, being a bitch and being slow. Math is probably my worst class, it is actually. Since I got to school, I have been really nervous. This is honestly brand new to me, this whole "date" idea. I've never been on one (shocker) and its weird. I like to think I'm good looking and dashing. Well, kinda.
Class ends after 20 minutes of my teacher lecturing.
Annoying.
History comes and goes like a breeze.
I head to lunch and immediately slam my head on the lunch table out of boredom and tiredness.
"Ay Natsu..you good man?" Gajeel asks.
I slowly pick up my head and give him a long stare. "Yeah I'm fine, just tired that's all.
"Rough night thinking about Lucy huh?" Gray teases.
"You got me, Gray." I plainly respond.
"No comeback? That's new." Jellal responds.
"Leave him alone guys. If the dudes tired just leave him be." Sting mentions.
Sting continues to be the most real person.
"Thanks, Sting." I murmur.
Sting gives me a simple nod.
"So Natsu, where you taking Lucy?" Loke asks.
Did Lucy tell other people that we were going on a date? She sure does have a big mouth...
"How did you kn- never mind. I honestly don't know." I sigh while looking away from the table.
"Natsu..how do you expect to get somewhere with Lucy if you don't even know where to take her on a date?" Gray inquires.
"Look I'm new to this whole dating situation," I complain and turn around with an embarrassed face.
"Have you never had a girlfriend before?" Jellal laughs but dryly.
Yes Jellal, you should know.
"No Jellal, I haven't, you would know," I reply and turn back around.
"Jeez Natsu, are you not a player? You could pass as one, to be honest with you." Gray suggests.
Maybe in a different world, I would be one, more upbeat and lively but no. This is real life, not some manga or anime. My life is boring.
"What do you guys think then?" I request while not making any eye contact with my group.
"An ice skating ring!" Gray proclaims.
Gray and his relationship with ice is so weird. Although I cant say too much shit because I like to play around with fire instead.
"Nahhhh fuck that, take her to a fighting match!" Gajeel shouts.
Hmmmm, I wouldn't mind that..
"Don't listen to them Natsu, take her on a romantic cruise. You'll definitely hit third base by doing that." Loke sneers.
My intention is getting to know about her more, not trying to have sex as soon as possible. On the other hand, if it were to come to that, I wouldn't mind it. Ah, who am I kidding, I just really want to know her more.
"Er..Loke, I'm not trying to hit third base just yet. " I buzz.
"Why not just do something simple? How about you just take her to the carnival that just so happens to be in town this weekend?" Jellal speaks up.
Well damn, I think that just answered my question.
"I agree Jellal, its simple fun for the both of you," Sting adds while texting on his phone.
"I think I'm going to go with Jellal's idea guys." I yawn while scratching my back.
"That's a decent idea, I guess." Gray murmurs.
"It could work out..although you won't probably get to third base man." Loke declares.
"Loke, have you ever hit third base?" Gajeel asks while closely eyeing Loke.
"As a matter of fact Gajeel, I have." Loke smirks.
"Your right hand doesn't count..!" Gray scoffs while laughing uncontrollably.
"I have Gray matter fact, it was with Juvia." Loke devilishly smiles.
Uh oh. This might not be good. Well, I don't know if he likes her or not, but who knows.
Gray looks at Loke with a look of horror and anger.
"What did you just say..?"
Loke moves his face closer to Gray, practically leaning over the table.
"I slept with Juvia," Loke grins albeit mischievously.
Bad move, Loke.
And what happens after, well, it's easy to guess.
In about 2 seconds, Loke is on the ground knocked out, and everyone is looking at our table. This is not good at all. The girls hear us and quickly rush to our table. Holy shit Gray, did you have to bring attention to our table?!
Gray runs out of the cafeteria. From watching him leave, I can determine that he isn't crying. Why would Gray run after something like this? This situation shouldn't be the type of situation to run from. If anything, Gray would assert his power over Loke and say something like "Don't you ever say anything like that EVER again!" Unfortunately that's not the case. Then again, I don't even know Gray like that.
I look around to see a wide arrange of faces.
Gajeel is on the floor dying of laughter with tears coming out of his eyes while Levy is next to him trying to tell him that this isn't something to laugh about. Jellal is in shock and gets up from his seat and stands back a little. Erza is on the ground with Lisanna next to Loke, checking up on him. Cana could care less and is just sitting next to Lucy. Juvia is no where to be found. Sting looks uninterested and eyes Loke on the floor for a moment. Sting catches me looking at him and tell me to follow him.
"Pssst Natsu, follow me." Sting gestures his hands to make a motion meaning "follow me" .
We get out of the cafeteria area and walk up 2 flights of stairs and arrive at a single door, all by it's self.
Sting tuns to me and lets out a big sigh.
"Alright Natsu, normally I would be the one to help Gray when he's angry or sad or whatever. But right now I can't. Don't ask why, just do as I tell you. You're going to go that past door and you're going to help Gray alright? Do whatever you can to make this guy feel better, alright?" Sting says.
"Sure..but Gray isn't exactly cool with me all that much." I meekly respond.
"Yeah I know that, but this will change it up a bit."
"Whatever I'll go." I sigh.
This is so cliche.
I open the door to see the school's rooftop. The sun is up high in the clouds. Sunshine beams on the rooftop, reflecting off the metal generators. A small breeze blows around me. The leaves on the rooftop start to dance on the ground and slowly fly away. I look forward to see Gray sitting down, up against a generator, sulking.
However what throws me off is that he isn't crying. Normally when something like that happens to a person, they could be found crying, that's not the case. Gray's face shows no emotion. Completely still and silent. I take a few steps forward only for Gray to speak up to me rather quickly.
"Don't come any closer, I'm not in the mood, Salamander." Gray murmurs, keeping his eyes on the ground.
"Uh..you alright Gray?" I respond.
I must be real stupid for saying that, obviously he isn't alright.
"I'm not alright Natsu, what do you want?" Gray asks while still staring at the ground.
"I want to help you." I answer.
"Help?" Gray stands up and walks over to me, rather close.
"Help huh? What could you help me with?"
I dont know what to say, to be honest here. But I have to say something.
"Listen Gray, normally I wouldn't help someone with problems like this, I'm not the best guy for it. But I'm taking a shot here. I can guarantee that Loke and Juvia didn't have sex or anything like that. Why? Because the girl is obsessed with you. I noticed Juvia was constantly on you when we went to Fairy Buffet. If that doesn't scream obsession, then I don't know what else does, Now I don't why you honestly did that to Loke. Sure the guy can be really damn annoying but if you hit him on a possibly wrong statement, who's to blame? I'm not good with these kinds of things as you can see." I cough a little and clear my throat.
That was probably the most talking I've ever done in my life.
"Well damn Natsu, maybe you aren't so bad. Still a dumb ass but not so much then when I first met you." Gray laughs.
"So Gray, why did you do that to Loke?" I ask while scratching my head.
"Don't worry about it Natsu, lets get back to the cafeteria and see whats happened." Gray replies.
Thank goodness that's over.
Gray and I return to lunch to see everyone is still by Loke (who is now up!) . The atmosphere is pretty tense. Gray sits quietly back in his original seat and puts his headphones in. I take a seat next to Lucy, who for some reason is at the far end of the table, by herself. I remember that Cana was with her but she is no where to be found, probably went to the restroom to drink or something.
"Lucy you alright?" I question, all while looking at her attentively.
"Yeah I'm fine Natsu, just wanted to be on the side for this." Lucy answers, still eyeing all the commotion.
I don't respond to her and just put my head down. I really want to sleep, but I'm around all these people.
I keep my head down until the bell rings, signifying that 8th period is starting. While walking into English I notice that Gray isn't anywhere to be found. He must of gone home early or ditched school...at 8th period. I hope its the first. Gray is a mystery to me, there's more to him then what appears on the outside. Under that hard shell of his lays something else. If only I knew. Some people show their true selves in time or under pressure. Who knows when one of those two will happen.
I take my seat and pull out my notes but I end up spacing out for quite awhile. Out of nowhere I get a slap to the face by non other then Gajeel.
"What was that for Gajeel?!" I pop off, flailing my arms.
"You wernt paying attention Natsu, it was suitable." Gajeel sneers.
"Yeah whatever." I grouch while crossing my arms.
Class ends after 30 minutes of silence, as we were taking a formative essay. I go to my locker, get my things, and dash off home. I run past so many students, it feels like a track race. I decide not to wait for my group as they would hinder my arrival time at my house. I get home way more faster then I usually do. I throw off my shoes and loosen my shirt so that I feel comfortable. The school uniform is tight for some reason, I probably just choose the wrong size. I turn on the TV so that I have some background noise to help feel more homey. It's the weekend, finally.
I still haven't told Lucy where we are going, How clueless can I be?
Pulling out my phone quickly, I go on Facebook and tap on Lucy's name to message her.
"Hey Lucy, if you were wondering where we are going, I was thinking maybe the carnival that's in town for the weekend, is that okay? "
I get a text back shortly after.
"Yeah thats okay Natsu ^.^ " Lucy replies.
"So how about 5:00 then? I'll pick you up (: ?" I respond back.
"For sure ^_^ "
I look at my phone's time to see that it's 3:49, which gives me more then an hour to get ready. I go upstairs to take a look at my wardrobe. Mostly red, black, and one pink dress shirt, how nice. Since this "date" is casual and not formal, I decide to go with black jeans, a black hoodie and a red T-shirt. Simple yet stylish enough. Putting my outfit on my bed for later use, I hop in the shower to freshen up. Hot showers are honestly the best thing in the world, they give your body the best sensation. A rush of heat that is constantly around your body. Pure heat.
After getting out of the shower, I put on some deodorant because who wants to smell bad? I change into the clothes that I laid out for myself on my bed. Once I'm into my clothes, I modestly spray on some cologne to further make myself..presentable. I check the time to see that its only 4:21. What does that mean? Time to play some Xbox of course. I should have some time to play so I pop in Dragon Ball XenoVerse and jump into a multiplayer match.
The player I'm against chooses Goku, interesting. I choose Gohan because he's my favorite character and also pretty damn powerful. I start the match just absolutely crushing the other player, and that continues for the rest of the match. After playing against the random player 5 times, they quit. I guess they couldn't handle the heat. I check my time to see that's 4:57, which means I should probably get off the game and pick up Lucy...well walk across the street. I quickly run to the kitchen, pour Happy some food, grab my keys, and run out the door.
When I exit my house, I give the sky a quick glance. The sun is starting to set, the colors of the sky are mixed and blended with gorgeous blues, reds, yellows, and oranges. The moon is starting to appear ever so slightly, while the sun slowly fades from my eyesight. I stop staring at the sky and cross the street to get to Lucy's house.
Lucy's mansion looks very exotic and expensive. There are water fountains, and rows of flowers everywhere meanwhile I live in a small apartment, what a big contrast. I walk up to the front door and give a knock on it. Immediately I am greeted by a pink haired women wearing a maids outfit.
"Who are you?" The women questions.
"Uhhh I'm Natsu, I'm here to pick up Lucy, we have a.." I give a small pause.
"A date." I let out.
"Hmm Natsu I have been expecting you then" The women stares at me constantly.
The women turns around and shouts into the mansion. "Princess Your handsome Prince Natsu is here!"
She calls Lucy "Princess" ? Never mind that, I was just called a Prince! So weird. Maybe this is how Lucy got so weird, she probably got it from this women.
After a minute of waiting, I see Lucy hurriedly walking down the stairs with an embarrassed look. Lucy quickly runs up to door, right next to the maid.
"Hi Natsu! And Virgo what did I say about calling me Princess!" Lucy yells with a red face.
"I'm sorry its habit, but this Natsu here is your Prince right?" Virgo asks with a smug expression.
"No Virgo!" Lucy retorts.
Lucy is pretty cute when she's embarrassed or angry.
"But Prin- "
"Bye Virgo! Keep the place nice!" Lucy kicks the door closed, grabs my hand and we run out of her house area. We run a half a block down and stop by an intersection. After catching our breathes, Lucy speaks up out of nowhere.
"Sorry about that Natsu , Virgo is always so...direct." Lucy says.
"Its fine Lucy, I think I know where you get your weirdness from." I chuckle.
I didn't get a chance to get a good look at Lucy, because well...all that happened. I do a quick scan of what she's wearing, and it inst disappointing. Lucy's sporting an all black crop top with a skirt to match. Her hair is also tied up in the back, which adds the finishing touch to her outfit. She look's stunning and gorgeous.
I start to open my mouth but suddenly I don't say what I want to say. Why cant I? I stare at Lucy for a almost a minute, not saying anything at all. What am I doing? Lucy looks at me with a confused and somewhat sad face.
Lucy looks at me worryingly. "Is something wrong, Natsu?"
Quickly snapping out of the prolonged silent state that I'm in, I shake my head signifying that nothing is wrong.
"No Lucy there's nothing wrong, you look really...nice." I murmur.
Wow, I am really bad at this.
Lucy starts to blush but shows some disappointment. "T-Thanks, Natsu.
I think I regret doing this whole date thing.
"Lets take the bus to the inner city!" Lucy exclaims.
"Well yeah Lucy, did you expect that we were gonna walk or something?" I tease.
Lucy furrows her eyebrows and gives me a love tap on the arm.
We wait 10 minutes for the bus to come. When it does come, we hop in quickly. I realize that I'm probably going to throw up because I have terrible motion sickness. All the seats are full so we have to stand up and hold on to the rails. Great, just my luck. While on our journey, the bus starts to hit potholes in the ground. We manage to stand still through most of the way but the bus hits a large pothole and causes me to grab on to Lucy's arm.
Uhhh...
I look down at Lucy who is still facing forward trying to conceal her blush but I can see it clear as day. I find her so cute when she blushes, I love it actually. Throughout the trip, I keeps my hold on her arm because that's pretty much the only thing keeping me from just collapsing. When the bus finally stops at our stop, we get out and look at what's ahead of us.
The carnival is absolutely huge. Neon signs light up our path forward. The sight of children running around and couples together gives this place a warm feel. The sky is now black as it's night obviously. There are so many things to do. Games, rides, the Ferris wheel...yeah no fuck that. Last time I went on a Ferris wheel, I almost died, and also going on things that move make me want to throw up.
Lucy looks at me with a confused face. "What do you want to do first Natsu?" There are so many things to do, and with all this time, I'm going to make use of it. Anything but rides, however, that's the limit.
"Anything but a ride please!" I groan.
"Alright, then lets go play some games!" Lucy exclaims.
"Skee ball?" I ask while grinning.
"Skee ball." Lucy confirms.
We run over to the skee ball booth and pay to play. We get 30 seconds per turn. As I'm good at video games, I'm also good at real life games. Poor Lucy wont know what hit her.
"Just saying Lucy, I'm a pro at skee ball. Just so you know.." I give her a big grin.
Lucy eyes me hard for a couple seconds but returns a mischievous smirk. "Oh yeah Natsu? Lets bet on it then. If I win 2 out of 3 rounds, I get to choose what we do next, if you win 2 out of 3 rounds, you get to choose what we do. Deal?" Lucy sticks out her hand. A deal huh? I'm definitely winning now.
I shake her hand firmly. "Deal."
We take turns trying to get as many points as possible in the time limit. I start out with 730 points. Lucy scores 670 points. 1 win for me. I start the second round as soon as possible. Lucy moves her head back and forth, looking at how fast I throw the skee balls in to the holes. By the time 30 seconds is over, I finish with 800 points. Beat that Lucy!
I let out a small but noticeable laugh. Lucy turns sharply and glares at me. "What's funny Natsu?"
"Oh nothing...just admit that you lost!" I start to giggle, but what makes it even more funnier is when Lucy tries to copy my giggle. "HA-HA-HA SOOOO FUNNY!" I start to laugh even harder and start wheezing!
"You know what Natsu? You're not getting a win so easily!" Lucy gives me an evil smile and makes a fist crushing motion which causes me to cease my laughing. She can get scary real quick sometimes.
Unfortunately for her, I'm not scared so easily. "Bring your A game then Luce!" Shit, I let that slip again. Dammit, why do I have to say that nickname at the most weirdest times?! I start rubbing my arm slowly, trying not to return the gaze pointed at me. After a couple of seconds of silence I look at Lucy to see if she's still looking at me.
"It-It's fine, Natsu. You can call me that if you want.." Lucy's face forms a deep crimson. I glance at Lucy's fingers to find her twiddling her fingers. She cuts her eyes away from me for a long period of time.
And so here we are, standing awkwardly at skee ball game. Fun right? Just as I think the silence will continue, both of us are startled by the man who owns the game himself.
"Hey you two! You lovebirds going to keep on playing or what? You're holding up a line!" The man ogles us heavily. Jeez dude creepy much?!
I quickly respond back. "Yeah we will be done in just a minute!"
Lucy pokes my arm, making me face her. She stands on her tippy toes and moves closer to my face. Uhhhh whats going on here? Right as we are about to be just inches apart face to face, she quickly moves to whisper something in my ear. "You ready to go on a ferris wheel Natsu?" Lucy moves away from me with a smirk forming on her face. I slowly nod my head left to right. I'm scared now.
Lucy walks over to the skee ball machine and hits "starts" to begin the round. Ball after ball continues to land into the 40 and 50 points hole. After 30 seconds is over, Lucy manages to score 900 points. Shit, maybe I am fucked. Well that's 1 win for Lucy, I did not expect her to beat my score of 800. I cannot lose, my life depends on it! Lucy walks away from the machine and walks toward me, giving a wink on the way. "Good luck Natsu."
I walk over to the machine calmly and press the "start" button. Once the timer goes off, I immediately start hurling balls up the ramp, one after another. Oh no Lucy, you are not going to torture me on that ride. The 30 second beeper goes off and I almost attempt to throw in an extra ball. My score counts up to 920 points. That's good but I'm scared it might be beat. Hopefully not. I walk to back to Lucy and give her a "hmph" . She gives me a simple smile and starts her round. Maybe shes going to give me mercy? However the sight of balls landing in the 50 points hole tells me other wise. I'm seriously fucked. My worries are confirmed when the 30 seconds are over. Lucy's score leads up to 1000 points.
What a shocker. Am I right...?
Yeah, I expected that to happen.
So here I am, standing in line before a giant Ferris wheel. It seems like this thing is so tall that it practically cuts through the clouds.
Terrifying.
Lucy and I wait in line for 10 excruciating minutes before we finally get to the man in charge. This guy looks young, almost my age. His hair is jet black, messy too. Lucy and I give him our money. Lucy passes by him normally but when I pass him, he gives me smirk. Very suspicious.
We both step into the Ferris wheel booth...thingy. I sit on the opposite side in front of her.
Why?
Well I don't want to throw up on her of course! That would be so messed up, and disgusting. Our "date" would be ruined. But it looks so weird not sitting next to her.
Minutes go by, yet no communication occurs.
Out of nowhere the Ferris wheel starts moving.
And of course, out of instinct, I shout "Lucy we're going to fucking dieeeee!"
"Natsu we're not even high up yet!" Lucy yells back.
I take a quick look over the side of booth-thingy and see that we're about halfway, maybe less then that. With increasing altitude while moving comes increasing dizziness. My head starts to spin.
"Heyyyyy Lucyyyy, where are weee?" I slur while my head bobbles around.
"Natsu, we're on a Ferris wheel," Lucy speaks sternly.
"Oh shit get me off here!" I yell, arms flailing.
"NATSU!"
Her shout brings some sense into me.
"Huh? Oh hey Luce! You like watching me die slowly up here? Me too!" I sarcastically respond.
I tilt my head back a little and put both my arms on the seat. "Lucy how is this funnnnn." I pout, sighing shortly after. My head feels like it's gonna fall right off.
"Well if you wern't so full of motion sickness it would be." Lucy glares at me and turns her head.
The wheel is past halfway now, but not yet at the top.
And then an idea comes to my mind. A risky one, but a pleasant one.
"Luce, can you move a bit?" I ask.
Lucy starts to move away from her center position. "Uh yeah why-" Her sentence is suddenly cut off by her own loud squeak. "KYAAAAA NATSU WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
I'm leaning my head on your shoulder, what else?
"Isnt it obvious Luce? I feel better already." I murmur, while closing my eyes. "Natsu get off me! My shoulder isn't your pillow!" Lucy exclaims all while trying to push me off. I immediately stand up right away.
"Well, could I use those as a pillow?" I point at her obvious cleavage.
The back of Lucy's hand connects with my cheek, causing me to yell in pain. "Jeez Lucy, sorry!"
"Pervert! Don't ever ask something like that again!" Lucy yells at me,but has a growing tint of red arising in her cheeks.
"Besides, why do you want to lay your head on my shoulder." Lucy blushes but looks down.
And I can't lie here now.
I look down, twiddling with my thumbs."Well...It sorta makes me feel better about being up here..."
Lucy suddenly pulls my head and let's it rest on her shoulder.
"F-Fine, if it makes you feel better.."Lucy stutters.
As I am slouched, I have to look up at Lucy to see her. Lucy looks down at me with a blush.
"What are you looking Natsu?" Lucy lets out.
"Thanks Luce." I give her a big smile and immediately close my eyes.
I called her Luce again, who cares, I guess. The wheel comes to a slow stop. We seem to have stopped. I don't dare open my eyes because I would rather not see the height that we're at. I realize that I'm practically sleeping on Lucy. Even if it is on her shoulder. I didn't expect this to happen really. I let my sudden sleepiness take over for me instead.
When I wake up I feel a heavy weight on the top of my head. A couple of blonde strands lay on my face as well. Did she rest her head on mine? How romantic, I guess...
I quickly slide from under her head, and put my shoulder where my head was. Hopefully she won't know the difference. I also come to the realization that we are at the bottom, where we first were. I look over Lucy to see the jet black hair guy staring at us with a smug look on his face.
"You two were knocked out for a little awhile. But I didn't want to ruin the moment so I let you two sleep." The jet black hair guy grins.
This guy is starting to weird me out now. "Why did you do that? " I ask.
"Well there was nobody waiting surprisingly. So I let it happen."
I nudge Lucy on the arm ever so slightly. "Yo Luce, get up!"
Lucy slowly opens her eyes and yawns gracefully.
Yup, still a goddess.
"Hey Natsuu." Lucy whispers.
"Ah Hey, lets go now shall we?" I respond getting up from my seat.
Lucy in a rush, stands up and looks at me with a blush. "D-Did I put my head on your head?"
"Uh..yeah I guess we kinda took a nap...together.." My voice trails off.
"Hey you two would mind getting off now? This is cute and all but I would rather not see this." The guy butts in.
"Yeah lets go Natsu!" Lucy agrees.
Both of us quickly get out the booth and speed walk away. I check my time to see that its 7:13. How? I'm not really sure. Lucy and I walk around for 30 minutes, looking around at the attractions and games. It's not boring, but not really interesting either. That's until I see the arcade.
"Hey Luce want to go to the arcade?" I ask, pointing at the arcade.
"Sure, lets go!" Lucy exclaims.
And so we run in to the arcade. When we get inside, my child-self starts appear. Like the Chuck E. Cheese kid in me. This place is dark, but lit up with neon lights,also my red appears to glow in the dark. This is starting to excite me now!
"Hey Natsu..." Lucy looks around at all of the younger children around her. "You think we're a little too old to be here?"
"Not even! We're here to have fun! Who cares?!" I declare, giving her my somewhat signature grin.
"Well if you say so..."
We play a couple of games for about an 1 and a half. But then an idea pops up in my head. I immediately scan for a air hockey table. That's probably my favorite arcade game, well one that inst an actual video game at least. After a few silent seconds, I finally land my eyes on the prize.
"Yo Luce lets go over to the air hockey table!"
"Uh yeah sure Natsu"
Lucy and I walk over to the table and put in a coin to start. Little does she know that I'm a pro at air hockey. No, for real this time. I drop the puck in the middle of the floorboard, and look up to Lucy, giving her a wink.
"Ready Luce?" I tease, giving her my game face grin, whatever that is.
"You seem really confident Natsu. You were also real confident before too." Lucy smirks, crossing her arms.
"Oh don't worry, I'm for real this time."
Lucy REALLY won't know what hit her.
Immediately I hit the puck toward her goal but miss by just an inch. DAMMIT. The puck comes back to my side, allowing me to get another hit in. Luckily this hit causes the puck to go in to her goal.
"HA First Point!" I exclaim, throwing up a fist.
Lucy gives me a small little growl, cute actually.
The puck comes from the machine and goes back to the center. Lucy swiftly attacks the puck and manages to land the puck in my goal. How? Never mind that. She is not winning. I put my brain to the challenge and start focusing real hard. As soon as the puck returns I blitz attack it and instantly goes into her goal. After that I keep hitting the puck into Lucy's goal until the score comes out to 10-1. Me being winner of course.
"Gosh Natsu you sure are good at this game..." Lucy sighs.
"What can I say? I'm a pro!" I give her a thumbs.
I sure am hungry though, I could really use some food, a buffet size actually.
"Yo Luce you want to get something to eat?" I inquire, rubbing my stomach.
"Yes I'm starving!"
"This burger tastes amazing!" I shout, stuffing my face with the burger in my hand. This place is great, amazing actually. Great food, the restaurant is cozy, and the atmosphere is good too. But I didn't take care to see the name, maybe next time when we come back.
"Yeah this is pretty good!" Lucy responds. I grab a napkin and clean my face. Lucy's face is pretty dirty, and not like that. It's time for another daring move on my part. I slowly reach over and wipe the food off the Lucy's face. Lucy squeaks and blushes rather quickly. She looks down at her feet, not making eye contact with me. "I-I could've done it myself you k-know..."
I feel kinda bad for making her embarrassed. "Your face was messy so I had to clean it." I respond, rather quietly however. The rest of the time is us just eating, no conversation but rather still enjoying our meal. Once we're done, we leave the restaurant and stand outside for a couple of minutes. I check my phone to see that its almost 10. That arcade session was long, but the food made up for it.
A chilly breeze starts to form. Cheery, happy, people walk past us. The light above us gives Lucy a beautiful look. Her golden hair shines under the light, a heavenly glow actually. It's something that I really like about her. The city is loud and full of light. A lively city to say the least. Both of us are on our phones texting someone. I wonder who she's texting...
"Luce, you ready to go home?" I ask, getting off my phone.
"Yeah lets go, I'm so tired." Lucy yawns.
We wait 5 minutes before a bus comes to our stop. I left Lucy get on first and I follow after. Thankful there are seats, so I sit next to Lucy. She's sitting by the window so gladly I don't have to die. I could take a nap however.
"Luce could I take a nap on your shoulder?" I ask, while feeling a gush of heat coming up to my face.
"Sure Natsu...go ahead..." Lucy sighs, crossing her arms.
I lay my head on her shoulder and close my eyes.
So soft...
I wake up to Lucy poking my forehead. So weird.
"Wake up sleepy head, our stop is almost here." Lucy smiles.
My hair feels slightly more messy then usual. Was she playing with my hair? As if...
Once the bus stops, we get off and start to walk toward our houses. It's quiet, none of us talk. I try to say something but nothing comes out...again. We finally get to the front of Lucy's house...mansion. Lucy turns to me. "Thank you Natsu, for tonight. It's the most interesting experience I've had in a long time. It was pretty fun, thanks to you." Lucy gives me a big grin.
"I had fun too. For a first time date, it went alright. Thank you too Luce." I return her smile and scratch my head.
"I'll talk to you later then Natsu?" Lucy asks.
"Of course." I reply.
"Good night Natsu." Lucy suddenly gives me a hug out of nowhere. A hug that I've been wanting since I first saw her today.
Lucy turns around and goes to her door, opening the door with a key. She turns around and gives me a wave, to which I give one back.
"Goodnight Lucy."
I start walking back to my house, unlock my door, turn on the lights and lock the door. Happy, who was sleeping in his bed runs to me and starts rubbing his head on my legs.
"I missed you too Happy, tonight was great." I say out loud.
I quickly go up stairs and stagger into my bed. Sleepiness starts to take over my body. My eyes start to close sluggishly. The world around me descends into darkness. I guess I can say today was good.
Some people have bad days on a Friday night.
Meanwhile, I have good ones.
Was that cliche? Sorry about that.
WOAH ITS THE END OF THE CHAPTER! Yup finally. I'm also not too confident on this chapter, I feel like I may have rushed it but tell me what you think. Again I am so sorry for the late upload. School has been taking a big toll on me. Exams are coming, I also have a big speech coming up and the anxiety is increasing. Also I get lazy. Summer is coming however, which means I hopefully should be uploading more sooner.
Well if you're still here and reading, thank you. Please leave a comment and tell me about the chapter! Until next time, wonderful stranger.
