Chapter 6: Obnoxious Guys and Sick Boys
Natsu's POV
I was fixing to ask Lucy to the dance, when I got interrupted AGAIN!
We both shot our heads back to see who it was. It was none other than Sting Eucliffe.
I'm just gonna explain to you who Sting Eucliffe really is.
He's the coolest and the hottest guy in school (Trust me, if I didn't have to tell you, I wouldn't use the word hot OR cool. That's just disturbing.). He's also quarterback for the football team and all the girls in the school call him Mr. Right.
Now I'll tell you how cruddy he really is. Sting's the most obnoxious, arrogant, shallow, and conceited guy in the entire world! He doesn't leave his house without his mirror, he thinks he's the awesomest, and all he cares about is looks and football. He only ever talks about himself and he ignores every guy except for the guys on his football team.
He has always wanted a trophy girl wrapped around his arms and he found one...Lucy Heartfillia.
What annoyed me the most was the fact that he wanted Lucy (It's no wonder since she's the prettiest girl in the whole school.). Sting has wanted her ever since we were thirteen and he always called her gorgeous. (I don't mean the compliment. I mean, straight up gorgeous as in the name.)He makes me want to punch something...I know, how about his face? Nah, Lucy would kill me...too bad. It sure would be worth it.
"Hey, Sting, what are you doing here?" Lucy asked him.
"I was just walking around and I found this sweet club."
Walking around? It's 4:30 A.M. for crying out loud! What could he possible be doing so early in the morning? Looking for another mirror?
"That sounds cool!" Lucy screamed. I guess all that soda made her extra hyper?
I love it when Lucy's hyper. She's so much more fun to be around. Focus, Natsu, you need to get this cruddy guy away from Lucy ASA-NOW!
Wait, what does ASA mean again? I heard Jellal say it a bunch of times but never really thought about it.
"You know, I could see you from a mile away, I mean, how can anyone miss such a beautiful sight?" Sting said very romantically with a smirk.
Lucy blushed and replied, "Thanks."
"So, gorgeous, wanna dance?"
"Umm...," Lucy glanced at me with a puzzled look on her face. (I was still thinking of the ASAP thing.)
"Sure, I guess so," Lucy answered.
He grabbed her hand softly and brought her to the center of the dance floor.
I got it! Throw me if flies attack! That explains it, since, Jellal's afraid of flies!
Hey, where did Lucy go? AWW, CRUD! I FORGOT ABOUT STING! Now, she's dancing with HIM! How do I get myself into these messes?
Flashback
Yesterday didn't go as we had planned it to. It was me, Lucy, Gray, and Juvia fighting the Erigor. I thought we had it made, but I guess I was too Cauchy.
We were all fighting him with everything we got, except for Lucy. She was looking for her keys.
Gray was trying to a place to hide like Juvia instructed, Juvia was hiding behind a chair, and I was ducking behind the couch. Okay, maybe I was hiding and Juvia was ducking?
A few seconds, Lucy was skipping in the middle of the room.
"Are you crazy, Lucy? !" I screamed at her.
She didn't respond, she just kept laughing and skipping around for her keys. Cruddy Sheila.
"Get down, girl, that's an order!" Juvia demanded.
No one could hear with all this commotion going on, not even Lucy.
Immediately, a bomb began to fly towards her. That's when she began to scream, without moving an inch in fear.
I have to help her! I thought to myselft.
I leaped in front of Lucy, trying to push her away. Instead a bomb hit me right in the chest and I blacked out.
That's the story that led me right here in my bed, inside my house. I just woke up a few seconds ago and I still only here silence.
"Guys?" I asked.
It was silent; till someone in a nurse outfit barged in...it was Lucy
"Lucy, what are you doing here?" I wondered.
"Open your mouth," she directed.
"FOR WHAT?" I questioned her with a yell.
"So I can take your temperature, silly," Lucy cried happily.
"NO WAY!"
"Come on, Natsu, open wide."
I closed my mouth as tight as I could and shook my head.
"Please!" she begged, as she gave me the biggest puppy dog face ever.
"Man...Alright," I groaned.
I opened my mouth real wide and she stuffed the thermometer in my mouth.
"I'm here to make you feel better, after all, you did save me from the Erigor," Lucy said, feeling a tad guilty.
I blushed.I mean, not blushed, I just got a bit pink...
And I realized what I had done.
I saved Lucy AGAIN.
She then pulled out the thermometer.
"Aww, it was nothing," I told her.
She smiled and looked at the thermometer.
"It has a frown on it, which means your sick."
I know what it means, you don't have to tell me! I'm not stupid! Well, not entirely.
"It was all my fault, so that is why I'm gonna help you feel better and take care of you," Said Lucy.
"Oh no! I don't need taking care of!" I shook my head with a scowl.
"Of course, silly, everyone needs a nurse."
"Not me!" I screamed.
Lucy's eyes were getting bigger and bigger and she looked like she was about to cry.
"I was only trying to help, but if you want...I'll go," she said as she headed towards the door.
I let out a giant sigh.
"Fine, you can stay."
"YAY!" she cried with excitement "Let me just get my stuff!"
Lucy left the room for a few seconds.
"How do I get myself into these messes?" I asked myself.
When Lucy came back she had a big bag filled with stuff.
"Got the stuff!"
"Joy," I replied sarcastically.
"Don't be such a grumpy pants," said Lucy, "I brought books and games and-"
I began to sit up with a smile.
"What kind of games?" I wondered.
"Well, I brought a board game, and 'The Fairy Tail' trivia game!" Lucy answered excitedly.
My smile instantly turned back into a frown and I lay back down in my bed.
"You got anything that ain't for cruddy little sissies?"
"Umm..." she said, as she was thinking for a second.
I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms together.
"I have this monster truck book?" she FINALLY responded.
I started to smile again and pulled myself back up, "Now we're talking!"
Lucy opened the book and read, "Once upon a time there was a sad, lonely monster truck that had no one to love him. One day, the truck decided to do something good. So, he took people to places, fixed trees, and gave out hugs-"
I bumped my head continuously on my bed and finally spoke up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I waved my hands.
"What is it Natsu?" Lucy wondered, "Did you like the story?"
"No, I didn't like the cruddy story!" I screamed, "Where's the action, the violence, the gore?"
"My books don't have any of that!'
"Exactly," I stated with a glare.
Lucy only gave a large glare and left the room.
Where did she go? What is she doing? Did I hurt her feelings or something?
She finally came back with a bowl of soup in her hands.
"Soups done!" she called.
"Soup?" I questioned.
"Yup, it's chicken noodle, want some?"
"Sure!" I replied.
Lucy got a big bite of soup, blew on it, and tried to serve it to me.
"What do you think you are doing?" I asked.
"Feeding you soup. Now, open up."
I shut my mouth tighter than ever before.
"I said open up!" Lucy screamed angrily.
I shook my head in response.
"Come on, Natsu, please," she said sadly.
"NO WAY, NOT THAT CRUDDY SOUP!" I cried.
"Please, Natsu, can-" before she could say anything else Michelle came in.
"Dad says it's time to go home, Lucy!" yelled Michelle.
"But-"
"No buts. Daddy wants us home for supper!"
Lucy sighed and began to leave.
"Bye, Natsu."
"Bye, Lucy," I replied.
After she left I stared at the soup for a few seconds and pushed it away.
"GROSS!"
Next Day
I was lied on my bed reading comics when I heard a knock at the door.
"Kiddo, your friend is back!" (my dad) yelled.
I hid under my covers hoping it was not Lucy, but it was. Lucy raised the covers up and grinned widely.
"Hey, Natsu," Lucy continued, "I brought more stuff."
"Oh, goodie!" I yelled sarcastically with a frown.
Lucy, carefully, pulled out one of our old video games from the tree house.
"Whoa!" I screamed realistically.
"Yeah, I figured you didn't like anything from yesterday," She smiled.
"You figured right!"
"You ready to get beat, Dragneel?" she asked me with a smirk.
"In your dreams, Heartfillia!" I smirked back in a playful manner.
We immediately started to play the game.
"I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win!" I called with a grin.
"What's that over there?" Lucy pointed behind me.
"Where?" I turned my head.
"PLAYER ONE WINS!" the game announced.
"YAY! I win, I win!" Lucy sang while doing the cabbage patch.
"You're not beating me again!" I yelled.
5 Hours Later
"Time to go, Lucy!" Michelle called.
"HOLD ON, Michelle!" Lucy replied.
"But daddy said-"
"Michelle," Lucy shot her head back, "I'm trying to win a game here!"
"PLAYER TWO WINS!" the game announced.
"Yes!" I declared in victory.
Lucy groaned and followed her sister, "Bye Natsu!" she waved.
"Bye, Lucy!" I waved back.
Not such a bad day after all...
Next Morning
I woke up from the longest sleep ever (next to the time I fell asleep in math...and History...and Reading).
"Thank goodness your up, Natsu. Your friend dropped by but you were asleep and she left you something!" cried my mom.
I turned to my end table and saw a card and a bowl of soup. On the outside of the card was a picture-in crayon-of Lucy taking my temperature and when I opened the card there were words saying "Get well soon!" and "I let you win!"
I smiled and started to eat some of the soup.
Being sick is not so bad afterall.
End Flashback
No POV
All of them were still in the club acting completely NUTS. All of a sudden, the others sat down by Natsu at the booth.
"Where's Lucy?" Erza asked trying to contain her laughter.
Natsu pointed to Sting and Lucy.
"Not Sting Eucliffe?" Gray asked in dismay.
"Yup," answered Natsu.
Lucy then sat beside all of them.
"Isn't this fun!" she cried.
"Yup, but Juvia's beat so she's going home," Juvia yawned.
All of the gang decided it was time to go, except for Jellal and Erza.
"We're gonna stay a little longer," said Erza.
"Bye, Sting!" Lucy waved.
"See you around, gorgeous!" he yelled back.
When the time is right he's gonna pay, thought Natsu in rage, No one messes with Lucy!
