Chapter 8
How Could You?!
(Lucy's POV)
I looked up from my locker to see Natsu coming towards me. We'd been dating for nearly two months and Lisanna hadn't seduced him yet. Maybe she was actually gonna let me have a boyfriend for a long time. Or was she waiting for something No, she was gonna let me be happy for once.
"Hey babe." Natsu said, planting a wet, slobbery kiss on my cheek.
"Ew!" I screamed, pushing him away and wiping the spit off. "Kiss me when you're not drooling."
"Soooorrry, babe." He slurred licking my cheek.
"Ewwww! Are you drunk?!" Natsu just laughed at my remark and wiped his mouth off on my shoulder.
"Ew, Natsu! You are drunk. A drunk, crazy, psychopath!"
"No I'm not, Luce. I just joking with you. Sorry for licking you, by the way." He smiled a genuine smile before lightly kissing me on the other cheek.
"That was really gross Natsu." Suddenly realization dawned on my face. "Gray put you up to this because its my birthday, didn't he?"
"Maybe." Natsu replied, rubbing the back of his neck. Gray always did something like that on my birthday. The year before he had come up behind me after school with a bottle of booze and wetly kissed me on the back of the neck. It had been so gross. I had told Juvia later and she had bitch slapped him for like three minutes. It was hilarious.
"I'm gonna kill him the next time I see him." I fumed.
"Happy birthday, Luce." Natsu smiled, pulling a little blue, gift wrapped box from behind his back. I slowly opened it to find a beautiful little charm bracelet inside. There were only a couple charms, a dragon, a heart, and a gold key.
"Oh Natsu." I breathed.
"If you don't like it, I can return it."
"Natsu, I don't like it..."
"Oh," He looked disappointed. "I'll return it then."
"I LOVE IT!" I squealed, jumping into his arms and kissing him passionately.
"R-really." He said when I pulled away.
"Yes, of course."
"Oh good." He smiled in relief. He was about to kiss me again when a pair of hands shook me back and forth from behind.
"What up, good lookin'?" Gray whispered, enraging Natsu by being so close to me. He dropped a tiny box into my hands and then stuffed a hug bouque of flowers into my locker. "Happy birthday, Lucy."
"Thanks, Gray." I open the bow to find two charms, a water drop and an ice cube. Juvia came up behind Gray, smiling at me.
"That's from both of us." She said.
"Yeah, Natsu sorta let it slip what he was getting you, so Juvia and I got you more charms." Gray smiled.
"Thanks guys." I replied, hugging them both. "But why the flowers? It's not Valentine's Day."
"Oh, those are from Loki. He told me to give them to you. I think there's a card in there too." Gray answered naturally. "I have to go to my locker, bye."
"Bye." I waved, watching him and Juvia walked away. I hooked both charms onto the bracelet and then put it on. "Thanks again, Natsu."
"Welcome." He smiled.
(Natsu's POV)
I watch Lucy open the card from the flowers, slightly annoyed the Loki had given Lucy, his girlfriend, flowers. inside the envelope was another charms, a gold lion.
"Pretty." Lucy squeaked, attaching the charm to her bracelet. "I seriously love this bracelet and all of these charms." I smiled at her, she was so unbelievably beautiful. "Hey, Natsu? Do we have football and cheerleading practice after school?"
"Um, yeah. We do, why?" I asked, curiously.
"I was just wondering, I couldn't remember."
"Oh, ok. you know, I-" Everything I was about to say was cut off by the loud ringing of the school bell. "I guess that our cue to go to class."
"Yeah, it is, but I wish it wasn't."
"Well, do you wanna ditch?" I asked casually.
"Nope." She replied, shaking her head. "I wanna see my friends. Let's get a seat in the back that way we can talk. I don't feel like listening today."
"Ok." I smiled before slinging an arm around her and walking to first period.
(Lucy's POV)
Cheerleading practice was as boring as hell. I didn't pay any attention to the squad, all my attention was directed at Natsu and the football team. He met my eyes a few times and just smiled, making me blush in embarrassment. The rest of the squad noticed my lack of attention and got pretty pissed off, Lisanna most of all.
"Yo, Slut!" She yelled at me. "Will you stop staring at your boyfriend and focus on what's important. We need to be ready for the football game on Saturday."
"Yeah, yeah." I said, flipping her off. "Let's work on the pyramid, that's where we need the most work." Lisanna glared daggers at me as I got everyone into their positions. When the pyramid was ready to, I got into position on the top. I looked down to see Lisanna moving around, messing up al of our balance. "Lisanna! Stop moving, I'm gonna fall!" I screamed at her.
"Good." Lisanna laughed, then jumped forward, causeing everyone to topple over. I was last to fall. And, to make matters worse, I fell backwards instead of forwards, where the pile of bodies were. I screamed as I fell, knowing that if I hit the ground from this height I'd break something. I was only a couple of feet from the ground when two arms cushioned my fall. I looked at my savior to see my gold haired best friend, Loki.
"Loki." I gasped, hugging him. "You saved me."
"Yeah, yeah. Don't get used to it, master." He grinned, I could tell he was joking when he told me not to get used to it. He had been doing and saying things like this since we were children. His mother had been my nurse/nanny so he and I had grown up together like brother and sister, but he still called me master since I had been his master, well, sorta.
"Sure, servant." I smiled before kissing him on the cheek.
"Hey, did you get my present?" He asked.
"Yes, it was beautiful, it's on my bracelet in the locker room."
"Good." He smiled then looked at Laxus who was glaring at the pair of them. "I should go, I have a game to prepare for."
"As do I." I said as he put me down. I noticed Natsu was staring at the pair of us with a murderous look in his eyes. Loki turned and saw him, snickering, he looked at me. "You've got yourself one hell of a jealous boyfriend, Lucy."
"Yeah, that's why I love him." I grinned. "Listen, I have to go."
"Same here." He replied before walking away, suddenly he turned and looked at me. "I'm gonna take you to dinner tonight, no exceptions."
"Kay!" I called back, smiling happily as I walked away.
(Natsu's POV)
When practice was over and I was done in the locker room, I walked over to the girl's locker room to wait for Lucy to come out. I watched all the other girls leave and when I was sure they were all gone, I went inside to see how long Lucy was gonna be. When I entered, there was no one around. I could hear water running in the showers area.
"Luce?" I called out towards the showers.
"Natsu?!" She screamed, her head popping out between the curtain of one of the showers and the wall. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was gonna walk you home like normal." I blushed at the sight of her looking at me.
"Can't you just wait outside like a normal person, and not come inside to locker room like a pervert?" I stared at her, although the shower curtain covered her body, it also stuck to it, She was truly beautiful. Suddenly, she looked down at herself and gasped. "Don't look at me! I completely naked! Go away and wait outside."
"Fine." I laughed, then turned away to walk outside. I was almost at the door, when a hand grasped my arm and pulled me into a supply closet. "Luce?" I asked, the only respond I got was a pair of hand unbuttoning my shirt. "Um, Luce? What the hell are you doing?" I pushed the girl away, not sure who it exactly was. I ended up pushing the girl into the light and what I saw shocked me. The girl had short, white hair. It was Lisanna.
"Lisanna?! W-what are y-you doing to m-me?" I stuttered, afraid of what she was gonna do next.
"Oh, Natsu." She groaned, pulling herself towards me. "I want you. I want all of you."
"G-go away." I pushed her towards the wall, away from me. "I h-have a girlfriend, you kn-know that."
"But, Naaatsuuuu..." She groaned, running towards me and crushing her lips onto mine. She began to attack my clothes even more, pushing me up against the door. It to swung open, causing the pair of us to fall onto the floor, Lisanna on top. Suddenly, I heard a gasp, I pushed Lisanna away just in time to see Lucy sobbing into her hand.
"H-how, how... HOW COULD YOU?!" Lucy screamed at me before running out of the locker room. I pushed Lisanna off of me and ran after her. By the time I got outside, I saw her walking away with Loki. She was sobbing onto her shoulder and when he looked up at me, he pushed Lucy away. Slowly, he walked towards me, glaring harshly.
"You bastard!" He yelled before socking me in the face. I fell backwards, shocked by what he had done. When I finally got up, I saw him walking away again, with Lucy latched onto his right bicep. Tears streamed down my face as I watched them walk away.
"Goodbye, Luce, and happy birthday." I whispered, before getting up and walking back towards my motor cycle, towards home.
Ok, so I hope you liked this chapter. I just wanna put it out there that I actually like Lisanna in the manga and the show, but I see her as a love rival for Lucy. So, I turned into a snobby bitch who tries to steal Natsu from Lucy. I really enjoyed writing this, even though it's kinda short. Bye bye! :)
