-YAJIMA'S COFFEE SHOP-
Lucy,Erza,Natsu,Lisanna,Levy and Gajeel are at a coffee shop's rooftop. There are only two other tables besides theirs.
"The downstairs are swarming with people. Why isn't this place?" Lucy thought to herself just before they sat down on their table.
"Why isn't this place so packed like downstairs?" Lucy asked.
"Well,Yajima-san rezerves this place only to his regulars." Erza explained while she was looking at the menu.
"Ohh,so you guys come here often?" Lucy asked just as she grabbed the menu in front of her.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. We actually came here a lot more a few months ago." Levy explained.
The groups mood suddenly changed.
"Yeah,and our original group was bigger." Erza continued.
"What changed?" Lucy asked with slight interest.
"Everyone's got other priorities, I guess. Cana hangs out with other people now. So does Gray." Erza answered.
"And Mirajane,Lisanna's big sister has work after school." Erza said looking at Lisanna.
"Yeah,and she's teacher's assistant during school so she comes home very tired." Lisanna picked up where Erza left.
"So you guy's don't hang out anymore?" Lucy replied.
"We do. Just not as much as we used to." Levy replied.
"And I'm sure Gray would hang out with us again if he and Natsu were to bury the hatchet. Right,Natsu?" Erza answered and turned towards Natsu.
But Natsu and Gajeel didn't pay attention to her.
"I had tonkotsu ramen yesterday,so I'm going to eat miso ramen today." Natsu told Gajeel with a goofy tone as he nodded.
"LİSTEN TO ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" Erza yelled as both Natsu and Gajeel jumped from their seats.
"S-sorry,E-e-erza!" Natsu whispered while shaking. Everyone started laughing.
Lucy started laughing as well.
"Why am I laughing?" Lucy thought to herself. These guys weren't like the crowd she hung out with back at her old school,but still she was warming up to them.
It took thirty seconds for the laughter to stop.
"So,Lucy. It's been an interesting day for you,hasn't it?" Lisanna asked with a playful face.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.
"Well,you know. The thing with Sting? You must be pretty confused about it." Lisanna asked just as Natsu squeezed his fist under the table. Erza stared at her,curious.
"What is she doing? Why is she constantly bringing up Sting?" Erza thought to herself before Lucy answered.
"I don't know. Should I be?" Lucy asked with no facial expression whatsoever.
"Well,he is one of the hottest guys in school. And he clearly asked you out." Lisanna said with a smirk on her face.
Levy jumped in before Lucy opened her mouth.
"And you just casually blew him off. That was so cool Lucy!." Levy said with a giant smile on her face.
Lisanna gave Levy a slight glare which nobody on the table noticed. Except Erza.
"Does she feel threatened by her?" Erza wondered to herself.
"Not really. I just don't like his type. He was probably interested because I'm new. A guy like that probably dated everyone in the school already." Lucy answered.
Erza smiled in approval. She had begun to like Lucy. She wasn't so full of herself,even after what happened. She was honest to herself.
"Don't be so modest. Maybe he asked you out because he thought you were pretty. Which by the way,you are!" Erza complimented.
"If that so,he must have asked you out like ten times already." Lucy said with a playful tone. It was true. Erza was one of the prettiest girls she had ever seen.
Erza got a sorrowful face. Which surprised everyone.
"Why would she say that? I'm not pretty! I know that. If i were, then he would ha-" Erza filled with sadness and anger. Her eyes started to get watery .
"S-sorry Erza. I didn't mean't anything bad." Lucy was surprised.
Erza got up and patted Lucy's back.
"It's okay Lucy. It's not you. I just need to go to the bathroom." Erza quickly reached the stairs of the roof and headed towards the bathroom.
They stayed quiet for about a minute before Lucy broke the silence.
"Okay. Could somebody tell me what happened? Did i said something wrong?" Lucy asked towards the rest.
"No,you didn't." Levy spoke slowly.
"Then what happened?" Lucy asked towards Levy.
"I'm not sure. But Erza is rarely this sad about things. And when she is,it's probably about him." Levy explained. Natsu squeezed his fist,anger clearly showing in his eyes while Gajeel made an annoyed face.
The way she said "him"made Lucy curious.
"Who,Sting?" Lucy asked with curiosity.
Levy smiled at her response.
"Of course not. It's..." Levy paused for a moment. Seeing Erza walking up the stairs.
"You know what,you should probably ask Erza about it. But just not today." Levy slowly cautioned Lucy just before Erza arrived.
She sat down to where she sat before. She had clearly calmed down.
Lucy's curiosity was eating her up. She was just about to ask Erza but remembering her previous state stopped her from doing so.
"I will find out later,anyhow." She decided to change the subject.
"So Levy,what were we talking about before Sting interrupted us?" Lucy asked with a fake interested face.
Erza appreciated what she was doing. She wondered what had gotten into her. Was it because she hadn't seen him at all this summer? She wondered to herself.
"Gossip about hot guys!" Lisanna joined the conversation.
"Oi,oi! What's wrong with you girls?" Gajeel frowned.
"He's right! Don't do it while we're here!" Natsu said while nodding.
"Don't worry! You guys are probably not the ones they will talk about." Erza joked.
"H-hey,what do you mean Erza?" Natsu asked pointing at Natsu.
They laughed for a little while until Levy picked up the conversation.
"What do you wanna know?" Levy asked playfully towards Lucy.
"I don't know. Maybe like,who is the toughest guy in school?" Lucy asked,trying to make it look random. But in fact she really wanted to know. From where she came from,being able to fight and defend himself was considered sexy.
"Wow,that's a weird question." Levy said as she scratched her head,trying to find an answer.
"Me of course!" Gajeel replied instead of Levy.
Erza and Natsu started laughing. Natsu laughed louder than Erza,holding his belly.
Gajeel frowned.
"Of course it is! I'm the toughest guy at the school." Gajeel repeated angrily towards Natsu,who pointed at him and starting to laugh even louder.
"LİKE HELL YOU ARE!" Natsu yelled while laughing uncontrollably.
"That's enough,Natsu." Erza said softly.
It took a minute for Natsu to stop laughing. People from other tables stared at him until he was quiet.
Gajeel glared at him until Erza continued.
"Gajeel is strong. But there is also Bacchus and not to mention Laxus." Erza explained.
"How do you know how strong they are?" Lucy asked.
"Well Bacchus is in the wrestling team and if i remember correctly nobody ever beat him." Lisanna answered.
Everyone except Lucy and Gajeel nodded.
"And this one time when i was a freshman,I saw Laxus punch a student in the face so hard that the guy didn't come to school for like a week." Natsu said towards Lucy.
"I remember that." Gajeel said while smiling.
Lucy smiled too. She loved a man who can throw down. Of course she didn't plan on saying this out loud but she looked quiet intrigued.
Natsu caught the way she reacted to what he said.
"So,she likes tough guys,eh?" Natsu thought before getting up.
"Oi,Gajeel. Let's go a few rounds!" Natsu said pointing his fists toward Gajeel.
Everybody,including Lucy was sighed in frustration.
"Are you an idiot?" Gajeel asked.
"I think it's pretty certain by this point,Gajeel." Levy replied.
"N-natsu,calm down. We're in public." Lisanna said trying to calm Natsu.
"No! Talking about that stuff got me excited. I'm already fired up." Natsu said as he made a "come on" gesture towards Gajeel.
"Oi,Natsu. Sit down you're making a scene." Levy said.
"Don't try to reason with him. His stupidity will rub off on you." Gajeel said as he stood up.
He got into a fighting stance.
"Are these guys idiots? This isn't what i meant when i said tough." Lucy thought to herself before she sighed.
Just a second before they jumped on each other,Erza turned towards them.
"Both of you,sit down." Erza said softly yet in a deadly tone.
Gajeel sat down without a second thought while Natsu turned towards Erza.
"B-but E-erza,we were jus-" Natsu was interrupted.
"SIT DOWN!" Erza yelled.
"A-aye,sir!" Natsu replied as he jumped back to his seat.
They laughed for a while before two silhouette's approached them from the back.
"Still as stupid as I remember." The one on the right said just before they turned around.
It was the guy with the raven black hair that defended Sting back at the school.
"G-Gray!" Levy said.
But standing next to her was a beautiful girl with hair just like Lisanna's,except longer.
"Mira-nee?" Lisanna said in a surprised tone.
"What did you say,bastard?" Natsu said,grinning his teeth.
"Calm down Natsu. He's just kidding." Mira replied with a warm smile.
"What are you guys doing here?" Erza asked towards Mira.
"We just came to talk and catch up." Mira answered while Gray stood silent.
Gajeel snickered and started making smooching sounds. Natsu sneered while Erza gave Gajeel a cold glare that froze him completely.
"Well,then sit with us." Lisanna offered while Levy and Erza nodded.
Mira turned to Gray to get his reaction.
Gray got into a thinking pose.
"Well,we don't wanna give you guys any disturbance." Gray said.
"What disturbance? Come sit with us." Erza said.
Natsu made a "Tch".
Then Erza turned around to gave him the "Stare".
"Y-Yeah,join us!" Natsu said while looking at Erza.
She nodded and Natsu sighed.
"Well,we were actually gonna-" Gray said but then stopped.
"Oh,what the hell!" He changed his sentence midway through. He pulled two chairs from the nearby empty table and pushed it under Mira so she could sit down. Than he sat down.
"So,what have you guys been up to?" Erza asked.
Gray turned around to look at Lucy for a brief moment. And turned back to Erza before anybody noticed.
"It's on!" He thought before replying to Erza's question.
A/N: So,what do you guys think about this chapter? Tell me in a review! You have a pairing in mind? For Lucy or for somebody else?
As you can see,I have characters yet to introduce. It takes time and I don't wanna rush things. And for those who might think that Gray or Sting is evil,I say be patient. I will introduce an antagonist soon. But to do that I NEED REVİEWS :D(NOT TO MENTİON FAVORİTES&FOLLOWS)
