This job was supposed to be easy -considering Lucy has been feeling bad for a few weeks now- they were supposed to be in and out, boom done. But of course something had to happen or go wrong. When Lucy wakes up at the hospital she finds out some very surprising news that will change her life. For better or for worse./Mostly about Lucy dealing with it, not so much romance.
Heey, So i was supposed to publish a few chapters months ago but shit in life happens like laziness and boy troubles and testing and laziness, blah blah blah. I dont have much time during the summer bc im doing my community hours at a summer camp, fun. I need at least 60 to graduate and 100 for scholarships by senior year so ayyy.-. BUT I just finished them so now I have more time but we'll see. In regards to Loki, uh, did I mention this already? Well i prefer spelling it Loki instead of Loke, each to their own I guess. Whoops.
I rolled my eyes and turned making my way towards my room. "I swear, how do you not get fat?"
"Oh come on, you get midnight snacks too." I made a u-turn and went to the kitchen.
"Yeah you're right i'm pretty hungry." I walked past him.
He chuckled. "Knew it."
Erza has been gone for days and it's killing me. I want to go on a mission no matter how small. I've been thinking about sneaking away before they can catch me but Loki knows me too well and constantly checks up on me. I've been sitting in my apartment for way too long and i'm bored, I want some action, anything besides sitting around. Me and Loki have been looking at requests but all of them are "too dangerous" according to him. On the fourth day I walked into the guild and checked the board. I saw one that caught my eye and immediately grabbed it.
"Mira!" I ran over to the bar and found her cleaning some mugs.
"Look!" I showed her the flyer. "Is this one available?"
Her eyebrows scrunched together as she looked at me, "Yes but Erza told me not to allow you to go out for any missions until she comes back."
Shit, should've seen that one coming.
"But the job," I pointed to the flyer, shaking it. "it's so easy! I'd be back in less than a day! Pleeeeaaaasssee."
Mira sighed and put down the glass she was currently cleaning.
"Lucy you know i'd love to help but Erza would to kill me," She tilted her head thinking. "not that she'd succeed but you know she'd try."
My shoulders slumped in defeat, "Can you at least save it for me?" I gave her my best puppy face.
"Of course!" She smiled and took the flyer. "That I can do."
I smiled back and went to one of the tables with a menu.
Kinana stopped by and asked what I wanted to order.
"Mmmm I think i'll have a strawberry lemonade and a burger with-" "HEY LUCE!" I dropped the menu and nearly jumped out of my skin, I turn and i see Natsu making his way towards my table.
I turn back to Kinana and hand her my menu. "Um a burger with fries, thanks."
"No problem." She turns to leave and I have two seconds to figure out how to deal with Natsu but soon realized that those two seconds turned to zero as he sits right infront of me with all his pink haired glory.
"I haven't seen you around lately, where you been? OH WAIT!" He calls Kinana no doubt to order a shitload of food.
"Oh you know me," I laugh nervously. "busy, busy." I play with he ends of my hair to distract myself.
"Not really." He looks at me blankly.
"Yeah, well, I am." I rub my neck absentmindedly and look around thinking of something to talk about.
"Where's Happy?" I finally ask.
Natsu grimaced. "With Carla."
"Oh, well that's nice isn't it?"
"Meh, he ditches me a lot now." He folded his arms on the table and leaned his chin on them.
"Well he really likes her so it's natural that he'd want to be with her a lot, right?"
He shrugs and leans back in his chair. "I guess..."
"Give him time he'll come around." I smile at him and he smiles back.
"We'll see."
Kinana comes back with our orders. "One strawberry lemonade and burger and fries for you." She turns to Natsu. "And a fireball whisky and an entire chicken for you."
We both give her our thanks as she leaves, then spent the rest of our meal in silence.
By the time we finished our meals it was already late afternoon so Natsu decided to walk me home since he had nothing better to do.
"So Luce, why haven't we gone on any jobs?" He had his hands in his pockets and has been kicking a pebble down the street ever since we left the guild.
"Um..." I thought of a million excuses I could give him but none of them sounded really excusable.
"Well the thing is," I said slowly, buying myself some time. "Erza... wanted to go on one with us."
His eyebrows scrunched together in confusion as he looked at me. "So?"
"So... I'm waiting for her to come back?" It sounded more like a question nice going Lucy, you idiot.
"Oh." Was all he said for a while.
"But why haven't just the two of us gone?"
Mavis have mercy and save me right now please.
"Uh-" I was going to bullshit another excuse when a golden poof appeared right before us and out came Loki. He was wearing his usual suit with a red tie and his blue tinted sunglasses.
I closed my eyes and faced up to the sky gratefully with my left hand in a fist in front of my chest. There is a God and her name is Mavis, praise!
"Why hello there Lucy my dear." He bowed and then looked at the figure next to me with a look of distaste. "Natsu."
"Loki!" I gave him a 'Thank goodness you are here' type of face. "What a pleasant surprise!"
I turned to Natsu. "It looks like I have some stuff to do and it looks like we're back at my place!" Sure enough we were on my street.
"I gotta go but I'll talk to you soon okay?" I barely game him enough time to answer as I grabbed Loki and hauled ass to my building and into my apartment.
As soon as we got inside I released my hold on Loki leaving him looking a bit frazzled.
"Jeez," Loki fixed his tie. "for a pregnant woman you sure move fast when you want to."
I gave him my best 'Are you serious?' face. "I'm pregnant, not crippled, chill."
"Ooooh chill, good idea." He made his way to my kitchen and opened the freezer while asking if I had any ice cream.
I threw my shoe as hard as I could. "You ate it last week, remember?!"
He took his head out of the freezer. "Oh, that's right."
I sighed and threw myself to the couch and blew my bangs out of my face. "I'm so tired."
Loki gave me a dry look. "I wonder why..." He mumbled.
"Leave me be, asshole." I responded with my eyes closed.
"If it was the asshole we wouldn't be in this mess." He said really low but I could still hear him loud and clear.
I grabbed my other shoe and threw it successfully hitting the back of his head knocking off his glasses.
"Make one more joke and I will exile you from this apartment." I said slowly.
He just started laughing like a dumbass. "Okay, fair enough my lips are sealed..."
I stared at him really hard since that was an opening for another joke but he managed to shut up with just a slight giggle.
Short chapter I know but the expiration date on most of my chapter, well, they expired so I have to start fresh yay. I got the motivation to keep writing so ayy.
Anyway.
Deuces.
