Disclaimer! I don't own Fairy Tail but if I did all my otps would be married and have children and so on haha
The day continued on as normal. Not many people were out on jobs because of the upcoming party. People all around the guild were excited. Even though Fairy Tail was notorious for their random and spontaneous patties, they rarely had a planned one. But now if was evening and everybody was going home to actually get a good nights sleep for the next night. Star had gotten all the music downloaded and remixed. Mirajane had planned for the shipments to be in the next morning. They were planning to close the guild for the day so they could get ready.
Lucy walked home as she usually did. But she was more tired then usual. She just wanted to go home and sleep. She worried all day about Natsu and Lisanna she hardly ate. As she walked into her apartment she was surprised to see Natsu sitting on her bed. "Hey Luce, took you long enough to get here." He said, smiling.
"Why are here Natsu?" She asked, he opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted. "Never mind, it's just going to be some dumb answer." She said glumly. She took a seat at her table.
"I have seen you all day Lucy! I wanted to chat but you were with Levy and I couldn't really move." He said awkwardly. "That, and Gray was being a stripper again! We were gonna fight, and I would have won too! Ur Erxa showed up. Then Happy said the exceeds were having a night on the town. So I came here." He explained to Lucy.
"Well that was nice of you but you can leave now, I'm going to bed." Lucy said, trying to push Natsu out her window.
"But Lucy! I gotta ask you something!" He complained, running away from the window.
Lucy sighed, "ok Natsu what is it?"
"You're going to the party right?" He said, a grin creeping up on his face. "Listen I gotta tell you something."
"Yes I'm going to the party and you can tell me tomorrow. I'm tired and I just want to sleep." Lucy told the dense idiot. She tried to push him out the door this time but he was much to strong for her. He pushed back. "Natsu, just go away for now ok?"
"No Lucy!" He hollered and grabbed her wrists. He spun them around and pushed her up against the wall. Lucy blushed at the sudden action. "Just listen!" He tried again. Lucy was frozen. Their bodies were close together and his face was leaning towards her. It was a little uncomfortable, but it was also nice. But she knew they couldn't stay like that. She pushed against him and ran underneath his arm, freeing herself.
"Not tonight Natsu. I've already got a lot on my mind and I just was to sleep." She told him again. She faced away so he couldn't see the prominent blush on her cheeks. She couldn't see, but Natsu had a hurt look on his face. He wanted to tell her how he felt before the party. But that wasn't going to happen.
"Ok then, I'll tell you tomorrow. Good night Lucy." He said rather sadly, Natsu closed the door and left. A few minutes later, Lucy went to bed. Her thoughts were filled with what just happened. Natsu pinned her to the wall. But she was afraid of what he might have said. Plus, he liked Lisanna right? Lucy fell into a restless sleep that night.
Levy was still at the guild reading her book. She was one of the only people there while Mirajane closed up. Jet and Droy had already left for a quick mission Levy hadn't wanted to go on. She wanted to sleep for the party the next night. Levy got up to leave and so did Gajeel.
"Oh Gajeel, you're leaving too?" She asked.
"Course I am. Can't stay in there all day, I'll go crazy." He said. In truth he was leaving because his mate was. It was rather late. There weren't many lights in in the streets. Levy's fear scent started to fill the air. Although it was hard to sniff out for a normal dragonslayer, Gajeel knew it when he smelled it. "You ok shrimp?"
Levy was quiet for a moment. She was remembering what happened the previous night. Then she asked something she never thought she would say. "Will you walk me home?" She said queitly. Gajeel's eyes widened and his face flushed, if it wasn't for the night Levy would have seen it.
"Ya sure, I don't got nothing else to do." He said, acting aloof. Levy gave him a grateful smile and his face turned even more red. Her smile was so cute and beautiful. He was glad he could make her feel happy. That's what he wanted to do. To hold her, to comfort her. He wanted to kiss her senseless. He wanted her to belong to him, and him to her. Gajeel pushed away the thoughts, knowing he would only hurt himself. The little bookworm wouldn't love him back.
"Are gonna go to the party Gajeel?" Levy asked. She wanted him to be there. Her and Lucy agreed to tell the dragons their feelings.
"Ya why not? It ain't like I got anything better to do." He told her. The two walked and chatted allthe way to Fairy Hills. Even though the little bookworm loved the Iron Dragonslayer and vice versa, they were both clueless. Like Natsu and Lucy. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow shrimp." He called out to her. She also waved her good night and went inside.
Gajeel headed back to his house where he found the Exceeds all sleeping on his chair and Star sitting on his couch with headphones on. She noticed his arrival. "I was asked to put together a playlist of songs. The DJ is going to do the rest. Oh and if you are wondering why those 3 are here they needed a place to crash." She said simply. Then she smirked. "So how was it with Levy?" She said.
"I don't know wha you're talking about." Gajeel told her. His face lighting up in a small blush.
"They liiiike each other..." Happy said in his sleep. Gajeel almost grabbed the cat and threw him across the room.
"See? Even a sleeping cat knows! Are you ever going to tell her?" Star asked, as if them not dating was slowly killing her.
"Maybe." He said after a long pause. He then walked to his room with a scowl on his face. "I'm going to bed." He said simply. Star just shrugged. She knew both dragonslayers were going to tell their mates. This was going to be a fun party. Then her thoughts drifted to Nix.
Nix jet black hair that was spikey, but not as spikey as Natsu's. He also had bright emerald eyes that glowed. His magic was to amplify up to 2 skills at once. These skills included eyesight, strength, speed, stealth, hearing, scent, durability, stamina and so on. He could also invision a scent and locate its source from a far distance. It was useful in assassination. Nix also used double daggers, (hidden in his boots or on his thighs) duel swords (kept on his back) or a special weapon. This weapon he held onto the middle. Both ends were sharp swords, and when not in use he could transform to be a small pipe. So Nix used 3 types of weapons. Star and Nix often went on large bountys together.
She didn't know how she felt for him. Star felt comfortable around. But a different kind of comfortable. She felt differently towards him then she did Gajeel or Natsu. Did she love him? Star always thought about others and their happiness she often forgot about her own. Nix could always make her smile.
Gajeel knew Nix loved the small girl. He also knew that deep down, Star loved him back, but she was to clueless and selfless to notice. He layed in bed. Levy's scent still clung to his pillow and he reached out, as if expecting to feel her petite body curling up against him. He was going to tell her. He wasn't a coward and Gajeel never backed down from a challenge. He knew Salamander was going to tell bunny girl and he didn't want to be outdone.
Gajeel went to bed with a smile on his face that night. He felt good about tomorrow. Which was a rare thing.
The next day...
"Hey Natsu. What's wrong man?" Star approached the depressed dragonslayer. She took a seat beside him and looked carefully at him. His eyes were downcast and he was frowning. It wasn't a map normal expression for the fiery guy.
"It's Lucy! I don't understand. She wouldn't let me talk to her last night and she is still not at the guild." He said.
"What were you talking about?" Star asked.
"I was gonna ask her if she wanted to come with me to the party. But she just pushed me away and went to bed." He said. Feelings were not his forté.
"Just ask her later. She might talk to you then." Star suggested. She was trying to lift up his spirits.
" I guess but whenever I do she is always with Levy or Cana and when she isn't Lisanna clings to my arm so I can't!" He whined. Poor guy never got a break. Star thought about this for a moment.
"Why not trying to ask her if you can talk alone when Lisanna isn't acting like a love sick puppy and it shouldn't matter if she is with them or not. You'll get to tell her, just give Lucy time." Star told him reassuringly. He smiled at her and gave the tiny dragon god slayer a bear hug.
"Thanks Star! That's a great idea!" Natsu said. Just then Lucy walked into the guild. "She looks a lot better then she did last night." Natsu chuckled to himself. She had bags under her eyes and looked sleepy the night before, now she had a smile plastered on her face.
"Go on lover boy. Don't be shy." Star encouraged him, pushing him towards her. Natsu glared at Star but even he wasn't going to be stupid enough to throw a punch at her. He ran up to Lucy before she had a chance to meet up with someone else.
"Hey Lucy!"
"Hey Natsu." She replied. "Listen, I'm sorry about last night and snapping at you. I was just overtired." She tried apologizing for he night before.
"Don't worry. And um, I need to uh, ask you a question." Natsu stammered out. He was starting to look uncomfortable.
"What is it Natsu?" Lucy knew this was coming.
"Tonight, at the party, would you um... Like to dance?" He said. Natsu didn't know anything about asking a girl out.
"Well of course! Who else would I dance with?" Lucy told him. Natsu looked surprised. He was expecting her to push him away. Then a huge grin placed itself on his face. His eyes brightened at the idea.
"Great! Well then I guess-" he started but was interrupted as usual. Lisanna jumped into the scene and attached herself to Natsu.
"Hey Natsu. I wanted to tell you a story. Come on!" She said. "I mean I haven't seen you in so long! It'll be nice to catch up." Then she dragged him away from Lucy. This was the regular routine. Her and her best friend would be talking and then she would appear. And Lisanna always made sure to mention her 'death' in some way. Lucy walked over to where Star was sitting.
"So Star, where are you getting ready?" She asked. Star looked surprised.
"I hadn't really thought of that. Nobody's asked me." She said.
"Come get ready with me and Levy! Oh and can I do your hair?" Lucy said.
Star smiled. "Sure, why not?" The girls talked for most of the day.
"So come to my place around 5. The party starts at 8 so we will have plenty of time to get ready." Lucy said.
"Ok I will." "Me too" Levy and Star answered.
Lucy left for her house so they could be ready for the party, and now, she couldn't wait!
ok so the chapter after the next one will be the start of the party just as a heads up.
Pease review!
