I do not own Fairy Tail ….If I did the new movie would already be released.
Corporation Princess and the Frat Boy
Chapter 4 The angry ginger.
A reflective light from the flaming sun's beams runs along the sharpened steel edge to a lethal point, just an inch away from Frosty's chest. ….The sword may have been threatening but the glare off the eyes of the ginger headed woman wielding the weapon was deadly.
.
Frosty swallows nervously before carefully reaching up with a finger to gingerly point the sword away from his chest. "Easy Erza, watch where you point that thing!" She tosses the sword in the bright blue sky, causing the sharpen weapon to spin swiftly before effortlessly catching it in her palm, to gracefully rest it by her side.
.
The ginger headed woman bluntly asks with a raised eyebrow and a knowing smirk on her face. "Oh Grey, I see your finally up for practice, do you have any idea where your roommate is?"
.
With his hands in his pockets Frosty shrugs his shoulders in a chilly demeanor. "Who knows where that hothead is? For all I know he could be crashed at his house, where I'm perfectly content for him to stay."
.
The ginger shakes her head at him with a disapproving look. "Now, Grey that's not very sportsmen like of you."
An irritated frosty steps forward to tap a finger at the ginger. "It has nothing to do with sportsmanship or teamwork or whatever… You try and be me and share a room with a guy who quite literally breathes and eats flames and see how you like it …..After all, it was your brilliant idea to put us in the same room in the first place…Ever heard of the term like Fire and Ice?"
.
The woman throws her hand on her hips as she shrugs her shoulders in a cavalier way. "Well, who else did you expect me to assign him to?
Frosty lets out an irritated growl as he throws out his hand to his side. "Geeze, I don't know maybe Gajeel, Loke, or Elfman, take your freaking pick."
"Yes, but none of them offer the fire protection like you do." The Confident smirking ginger woman pokes a finger in the middle of Frosty's bare chest.
Grey lifts a hand to knock her finger away. "So let me get this straight, I get the roommate from my own personal hell because I'm a living, breathing …fire extinguisher for the hot head?"
"Well, yes, I guess you could say that in so many words." The ginger headed woman turns her head to catch my presence as she gives out a sharp glare in my direction.
"Grey, how many times do I have to tell you I don't wish to meet any of your little girlfriends." Erza's eyes flash with irritation towards Frosty as she begins to move forward with the sword pointed at Grey's chest once more.
.
Grey takes a step back with a bit of confusion before catching who the ginger is referring to. He throws out his arms in front of the ginger to try to explain causing her to pause and rest the weapon at her side. He lifts his hand to his head while rolling his eyes to the sword wielding woman's over reaction as he grumbles words under his breath. . "Girlfriend …oh yeah right? I wish."
.
"What was that?" The ginger woman snaps.
"Uh, nothing, she's not a girlfriend… Hibiki asked me to bring her over to see you. She's a legacy …..for Fairy Tail." Frosty regains his cool composure with his hands in his pockets.
The ginger headed woman turns her head with a stunned expression towards me before turning back to talk to Frosty. "A legacy? I wasn't informed of any one of that nature joining the dorm this semester."
"Yeah, apparently Hibiki had his files mixed up, he almost sent her to Blue Pegasus." His lips grew in a mischievous smirk across his face.
"Hmm, that's not like him ….at all." The woman lifts a finger to rest under her bottom lip in thought.
"Her name is Lucy Hartfeil-"
A bit of nervousness wraps around my words as they burst out of my mouth to cut off Frosty before he releases my entire name. "Lucy …..Just Lucy, is fine." Throwing out a hand to the rather intense woman.
"Alright just Lucy… What type is your family's magic?" Erza bluntly asks with her hand tensing around the handle of her sword, ignoring my held out hand to her.
Catching sight of Erza ignoring my outstretched hand before quickly pulling it back in. Not quite knowing the answer to her particular question. My head falls as I nervously fidget with my fingers. "Um, Family magic…..well you see about that-"
.
The impatient ginger headed woman begins to question on top of my unfinished words. "Well, yes, you're attending Magnolia University, are you not? An institution held to its highest endeavors to help its students develop and master magical specialties…what's yours?"
.
My head nervously glances over at Erza's ever increasing grip around her sharpened weapon before swallowing hard. "Um, I'm not sure…. just yet." I was only following bread crumbs my free spirit left behind ages ago…I didn't have the foggiest of the specifics …that's why I was here ,Magnolia University is just another one of the very few of her bread crumbs I discovered from her past ….that I chose to follow on my own .
.
Erza begins to step forward with a sharpen glare streaking from her eyes. Frosty manages to stomp down a foot between us causing Erza's glare to break from my anxious eyes and snaps towards Frosty. "Erza, Hibiki says her family specialty is Celestial magic."
.
I couldn't help but catch the name they wrapped around their conversation…thinking back to the pages of the Free spirits' book I didn't think she ever wrote down such a name. But seeing as the book was discovered recently, I've only had time to skim a few pages. Which were mostly about some ginger headed security guard she quickly befriended on her first few days arriving at the university.
.
"Really?" A bit stunned she steps back as her eyes slowly travel over me. She appeared to be intensely searching for something that she could only see…and unfortunately for her it wasn't there.
"Yep, just like Sabretooth." Frosty nodded his head with a cocky grin on his face.
Erza waves her hand dismissively before turning her back on us. "However, I have no use for a mage that has no idea of what her specialty is …..Just set her up in room 507."
"Wait, isn't that a bit crowded?"
She turns around to stand in front of me. "If anyone can help discover her specialty …it's her."
"Now then, where do you want it…. judging by your clothes I would guess your lower back?" The ginger snidely speaks to me.
Catching the sudden attitude from the woman I scowl back at the ginger. "Excuse me, were you saying something about my clothes?"
"No, not at all…..I'm saying the normal bubble headed bimbos who worm their way on to this fine institution, having no idea what specialty they practice. Usually just want one thing from this university…and it has nothing to do with increasing your level of magic." The ginger raises a knowing eyebrow and glances over to Frosty before turning back to look at me with a cruel smile.
.
Her eyes blazed with anger as her sword swiftly points in my direction. "A tramp stamp is fitting for people such as yourself. You give female mages a bad reputation. The rest of us need to fight that much harder to be taken seriously …so if I were you I would stay out of my way….so, now I'll ask once more… where do you want it?" Erza asks through clinched teeth.
.
"And again I'll ask you for what?" My eyes flash with anger while I throw my hands on to my hips.
Grey coolly pushes a finger to redirect the pointed sword away from my direction. He then throws out two hands on my shoulders to pull me back. "Ah Lucy, Erza is asking where you want your dorm mark …you can't enter the dorm without it." He lifts one side of his shirt to show the flaming bird thing on his perfectly sculpted chest.
.
"Oh, um, well my hand will do nicely." Throwing out a hand in front of the woman.
"Any particular color?" The ginger snaps out.
Swallowing a bit nervously. "Ah Pink, if you don't mind?"
The ginger headed woman scoffs. "Of course …..I should have guessed." Erza places her hand over mine when a warm glow begins to emanate from her hand. The glow grows brighter until it's almost blinding. I swiftly toss up my other arm to shield my eyes from the white light. Suddenly the light flashes off of Erza's hand causing her remove it .Without another word the ginger storms back to her place of practice.
.
I slowly lift my hand to my round, stunned eyes to see a pretty pink Fairy tail mark on my hand causing a small smile to grow on my lips. Realizing my free spirit must have had the same symbol once on her body. It's just one more step I've taken by following her path.
.
"Hey, I wouldn't let what Erza said bother you too much, she's not exactly what you would call a people person. …Come on follow me, I'll show you to our dorm." Frosty picks up my bags again and begins to walk in the opposite direction of the angry ginger.
A Little while later …..
Frosty walked me over to a large five story brick building with white window frames. At the front of the massive building a sizeable, black Fairy tail wooden symbol is perched high above the entrance of the door.
We didn't stop and explore the massive lobby area and headed straight for the stairs, four flights of stairs. "Sorry the elevator has been broken for months….Erza refuses to fix it." I watch as Frosty effortlessly climbs the stairs with my bags. Almost reluctantly I lace my fingers around the bar that lines the stairs. Taking a long breath before lifting my heavier then usual foot on to the first step of many.
My head looks up at Frosty's rapidly shrinking form ahead of me, forcing me to quicken my steps. "Oh?"
"Yeah, she thinks it helps us train more effectively if we use the stairs." Frosty easily climbs the steps one by one, in a bit of a jog. Whereas I am rethinking my recent high heel purchases.
"She seems rather intense." Letting out a breath before turning to climb yet another set of stairs.
Frosty leans his head over the railing, now being an entire flight ahead of me. "Well, that's Erza for you, always training …..Oh, she's also the student advisor for the dorm…..She's the only one that could give you the dorm's mark."
"Oh lovely, let me guess the student advisor's room just happens to be on the main floor?" I continue to climb the flights of stairs as I speak with some irritation.
He chuckles after hearing my words. "Yeah you guessed it….Hey, seriously don't let what she said get to you ….She has family issues…It's not just you she has a problem with its all legacies." Frosty's mood momentarily changed with a sad undertone while speaking of the ginger's family.
.
"Okay the first floor is the dorm's common area, the next two floors are assigned to the guys and the top two are assigned to the lucky ladies."
"Four flights of stairs is not what I would call lucky." Making a mental note to invest in some sneakers I attempt to catch up with Frosty.
Frosty slows his pace, allowing for me to catch up. "Oh, a word of warning, just because the ladies are assigned to the two upper floors doesn't mean guys can't go up there. Fairy Tail is what you would call an open dorm. So don't think you can wander all around upstairs in a towel without bumping into any men…Although, I wouldn't have a problem with it, if you did." With a raised eyebrow he slowly travels over my body.
.
Feeling his flirty, prolonged gaze I swiftly swing a tightened fist out to strike his arm somewhat playfully. "Knock it off, you pervert!"
With a smirk on his lips he reaches up with his free hand to rub the tender spot before playfully shrugging his shoulders, letting out a few chuckles. "What, I'm just being honest …..Anyway, same applies to the men's floors …..And unlike the women, let's just say the guys are not the least bit shy. So prepare yourself if you decide to enter those floors." He stops in front of a pristine white door with the iron black numbers 507. Frosty sets my bags on the ground before pulling up a fist to knock on the door. After a few seconds the door begins to creek slowly open and I must say I was a little shocked at who answered the door.
