Sorry for the long wait, here you go. :D
~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~
"I expectbothof you to clean this up before I come back!" She snapped before turning away and disappearing.
Natsu and Lucy exchanged glances again before diving to clean the glass that was all on the floor.
Lucy yawned as she sat up on her pink bed, stretching her limps. She blinked couple of times and rubbed her eyes, feeling a bit dizzy since she's just woken up.
It was a fresh new day, and a weekend to top it off. Lucy smiled real big as she stood up and stretched once more.
Today was, her best friend, Levy Mcgarden's birthday party. She was excited to go since basically every one of her friends is going.
Lucy hopped out of her bed as she got up to get ready.
She needed to go shopping for her friend's birthday and then she needs to do some grocery shopping.
Lucy went to her bathroom as she took a shower. Minutes later she came out; wrapping a towel around her body and then going off to blow dry her hair and brush her teeth.
As Lucy gotten all those done, she stepped out of her bathroom to get dressed. She decided she'll wear some sort of dress for tonight, just to look beautiful for her best friend's birthday party.
As Lucy gotten dressed, she grabbed her purse and walked out the door, ready to go do some shopping.
~X~
"Hey, Isn't that Lucy?"
"Huh, where?" The pink haired male turned in all directions as he looked for the blonde female. The jet black haired male face-palmed as he grabbed his shoulders and spun him around where the blonde was heading into.
"See, she just walked into that store." The male pointed towards the store. Natsu stared at the place till he dashed into the place, leaving the male alone.
"What the – Natsu get back here! We need to go look for a present for Levy!" He shouted, running after him.
Natsu ran inside the place as he looked around for the beautiful blonde he just saw walking in here. He saw her looking at something on shelf and so, he walked towards her, leaning against the shelf he smirked. "Hey Miss, do you have the time?"
"Oh yes, it's 11:26. . . Natsu?" Lucy said as she turned around to face the man who asked for the time. Natsu grinned widely as he flung himself towards her.
"LUUCY!" He shouted as she stumbled back. "H – Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked as she patted his shoulder.
"I was looking for a present for Levy with Stripper boy." Natsu said as he held her tight. "Gray's also here? And can you let me go now?"
"Hmm, no thanks."
"Natsu let me go! I need to look for a present."
"Oh! Let's all three of us do some shopping together!"
"There you are you damn pink haired lover boy! I was looking all around for you!" Gray yelled as he popped out. "Gray!"
"So what, Ice boy." Natsu stuck his tongue out as he showed his back towards him, hugging Lucy tighter.
Lucy sighed as she stomped on Natsu's foot making him yelp and let Lucy go, stumbling backwards her hit the shelf and broke a couple cups.
Lucy's eyes widen as Gray looked at Natsu with a scold on his face. "That's what you get you flame head!"
"What'd you call me, you ice princess?"
"Gray, Natsu!"
"What?" Lucy grabbed both of their arms as she yanked them away from the broken glass that was on the floor, quickly leaving before she's forced to pay for all of them.
Lucy exited out of the store with the two idiots as she saw somebody checking the corner they were just in, curious on what that sound was.
Lucy sighed as she walked away far enough as she couldn't see the store.
As they stood in front of a coffee shop, Lucy turned around and started to scold them. "How could you do that you stupid idiots?" She hissed.
Gray and Natsu both jumped, holding each other. They both thought Lucy was equally was scary as Erza when she's mad.
She's like Erza the second, and they didn't even like the first.
"First of you hug me and don't let go when I tell you to," – shoots a glare in Natsu's direction – "then you suddenly come and start yelling," – glares at Gray – "Then you break glass and now we had to run away!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I didn't break the glass. You stomped on my foot making me stumble back so it's practically your fault." Natsu stated earning another glare from her. "O – Or, I broke it, either way I'm okay with it!" Natsu squealed, hiding behind a something. Lucy sighed as she covered her forehead with her palm, tying to think of what to get Levy now since that store had exactly what she wanted. "What are you planning on getting Levy, Gray?"
"Well, a book. Since she loves reading."
"You, Natsu?"
"Well, I was thinking about getting this pen that has all the colors of the rainbow and it's sparkly in the inside," Natsu said as he kept describing it in the most childish manner.
Lucy sighed as she tuning out Natsu's voice. What did Levy wanted the most? What does she like the most? Lucy groaned, trying to think of things to buy her.
Levy isn't really a fan of clothes, and she owns most of the books in every library around, Levy don't like toys much, nor did she like shoes.
"What should I buy her?"
"What were you normally going to buy her?"
"Well, she wanted this glass carving of this horse but then Natsu had to break it." Lucy shot Natsu another glare, making him look away.
"Alright, we'll think of something. For now, let's go around the place and look for some stuff, then maybe, you'll find what you want to buy her." Gray suggested.
Lucy nodded as she turned her heel, walking in a random direction with the two idiots following behind her.
"Holy crap, it's almost 5 and I haven't even gotten a birthday present for Levy-Chan!" Lucy shrieked as she arrived home with Natsu. Natsu plopped on her couch, sighing.
"Oh don't worry, she won't even notice, she'll be too busy with the whole party and Gajeel." Natsu said as he snuggled a pillow.
"Then why did you buy her a present?"
"Cause she's been always barrowing pens from me and I got annoyed."
"Naatsu . . . help mee."
"Awwh, you're so cute."
"Don't call me cute!" Lucy hissed making Natsu squeal and hide behind the pillow. "Scary! You're scary!"
"Shut up and help me you little pink haired idiot!" Lucy shouted as she pointed a finger at his direction. "What are you even doing in my house?" Lucy asked as she now noticed his presence in her house.
Natsu shrugged as he lied on his side, using his arm to support his head. "I don't know I wanted to show up at the party with you."
"Why?"
"Cause I like walking into parties with you," Natsu said in a mocking tone. Lucy scolded while Natsu rolled his eyes.
"Hurry up and get dressed, we need to make it there before ice boy and water girl does first." Natsu said as he leaned against the sofa.
"Stop calling Juvia and Gray ice boy and Water girl." Lucy said as she went into the kitchen looking for something to drink.
"Well Juvia loves water, always is around water and Gray is always eating ice-related stuff so why not I call him that?"
"How would you like it if I called you fire boy, or dragon boy?"
"I would love it!" Natsu shouted, earning a face-palm from Lucy. "That wasn't the reaction I was hoping for. . ." Natsu grinned at her as he clicked on the TV, focusing his attention on the tiny black screen.
Lucy watched him for a moment before turning her heel and going to her room to change. Sometimes, she enjoyed Natsu's company; he always made her feel so not lonely.
As Lucy gotten dressed into her blue dress, she thought about every single thing Levy has told her she liked or wanted.
But none has gotten through her head. She was her best friend after all, why can't she think of anything to give her?
After Lucy has gotten dressed she came out of her room dressed in her blue party dress. She walked into her living room to see Natsu lying on her couch in the most uncomfortable position, sleeping.
Lucy sighed and rolled her eyes, walking towards the couch. She bent down in front of him, watching the boy sleep. He looked really childish and cute, so cute Lucy just wanted to pinch his cheeks and kiss him all over.
She smiled and planted a small kiss on his cheek. Suddenly her eyes widen as she realized what she's just done.
'Did I . . . did I just kiss Natsu?' She thought in horror. She quickly shook the thought of her head as she shook Natsu awake.
"Hey Natsu, you should wake up now."
"5 more minutes. . ."
"But we need to head to Levy's, it's almost 6." Natsu groaned as he turned his body so his head is dangling from the edge and his body's on the couch.
Lucy looked at him weirdly while Natsu stared at her. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"Yes, a lot of things."
"Like what?"
"This," Natsu said as he wiped the blush off Lucy's cheeks. "And this," He said smudging her eye liner and mascara, "Hey -!", "And also this," Natsu wiped the lip-gloss off her pretty lips. "Natsu!" Lucy pulled away from him, her makeup all ruined.
"It took me 30 minutes to do all this! Now look what you did!"
"You don't need to wear makeup."
"Yes I do, now excuse me while I go wash it off and put a new coat on." Lucy huffed, stomping away.
"You don't need makeup because you're already beautiful." Natsu said as Lucy walked away.
Noticing that Lucy didn't come back or comment, he thought she didn't hear so he sighed and sat up, ruffling his hair. "Idiot Lucy,"
Levy Mcgarden has just finished decorating her house for the party and the doorbell rang. Levy smiled brightly as she opened her door.
"Happy birthday, Levy-Chan!" Lucy shouted as she ran to give her a hug. "Yo, Levy." Natsu grinned as he waved. "Lu-Chan! Natsu!"
"Ooh, food!" Natsu shouted running inside and going to the snack table. "Hey, Natsu! Don't eat everything, okay?"
"Sure, sure."
"Oh, Lu-Chan, what is that?" Levy asked, pointing at the small coffee cup she held. "Oh, it's minty Chocó." Lucy said as she held it up. "Can I have it?"
"Oh sure, think of it was a birthday present."
"Yay! Best birthday present ever!" Levy shouted as she grabbed the cup and walked towards the snack table. Lucy stood there as she just realized something.
Levy always loved Mint Chocó coffee, she always asks for it, she buys it, and now she gives it to her and its most amazing gift she's ever received.
Lucy face-palmed as she groaned. "Why am I so stupid?"
"Maybe cause Natsu's rubbing off on you." Levy said, coming back and sipping on her coffee. "Hey, I heard that!" Natsu shouted across the room, glaring at Levy.
Levy smiled sheepish as she turned back towards Lucy. "Where's Gajeel?" Lucy asked. Levy shrugged, looking at the time.
"He said he'll be a bit late." Lucy nodded, looking around the place.
Suddenly the door bell rang again and Lucy went towards Natsu so Levy can greet the guest. "Hey Natsu,"
"Yo, Luce."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?" Natsu asked as he swallowed his food and focused his attention on Lucy. Lucy blushed a bit, feeling a bit embarrassed,
"You see . . . I sort of like Yo –", "LUUCY!" Lisanna shouted as she jumped on Lucy's back.
Lucy stumbled back as she fell on the floor with Lisanna crying on her shoulder. "I need your help, ASAP!"
"Uhm, sure."
"Great! Now come here," Lisanna stood up and took Lucy's hand, dragging her away. Lucy frowned as she mouthed an apology to Natsu who stood there dumb founded.
'Like yo? You? Me? Does she like me? Or is it Yono? Yoshiro? Yoke? Who?' Natsu thought as he continued to pick out YO names in the school.
"Yo, pinky." Gray said as he came next to Natsu. Natsu turned towards Gray and grabbed his shoulders,
"Gray! Whose name starts with YO in our school?" Natsu asked eagerly, looking a bit crazed. 'Did he just call me by my name?'
"Quick!"
"Why?"
"Lucy likes some guy that starts with a YO!"
"How do you know that?" Gray asked; his eyebrows knitted together. As far as he knows, Lucy doesn't like anyone but Natsu. It was pretty obvious anyways. "Well she told me."
"She told you the guy's name starts with a YO?" Gray asked, now more confused.
"No, she said something like,"I sort of like yo –"then stopped talking! Who do you think it is?" Gray relaxed as he looked at Natsu as if he has two heads. "Were you born this stupid?"
"What!"
"Look, idiot, she was talking about you." Gray said, shrugging his arms off him. Natsu looked at Gray with a glare.
"Don't joke about that!" He hated when people joked about him and Lucy since he has deep feelings for her but most people don't know that.
Gray rolled his eyes, putting a hand on his shoulders. "Look, I know Lucy likes you since she told me,"
"She told you?" Natsu asked, knitting his eyebrows together. "Well, not directly, but, can't you notice she likes you?" Gray asked, frustrated on explaining this to the densest person he knows.
Normally if he explains this to someone else they'll understand but this is Natsu we're talking about.
"No she doesn't." Natsu argued making Gray angry. "You know what, I'm done. Do what you like!"
"But wait, I need your help!"
"Fuck it, do it yourself you brainless idiot!" He yelled, stomping away. Natsu groaned as he wanted to slam his head against something to think.
"Like me? No way! Lucy doesn't like me, she probably likes someone else." Natsu said to himself, pulling on his pink locks. But if Lucy really did like him, he'll probably be the happiest man on earth.
He was going to ask her later, when around the time where everyone is leaving.
Or when she's alone. That'll be perfect. Natsu grinned to himself as he thought of the perfect way to say it to her.
'Lucy, I hope you like me. Or else I'll be kicking somebody's ass.'
