"So~ Natsu-san and Lucy-san huh?" Sting teased, raising an eyebrow.

"Not you too Sting!" Lucy shouted. Everyone laughed and started teasing the couple again. They were happy and they are now friends. They've moved on from the past and building a bright future. However… this is just the calm before the storm…


Time skip – Monday Lunch (Canteen)

Everyone was sitting together in their usual table in the canteen, including Sting, Rogue and Yukino. Sabertooth had been tested on Friday evening to see what class they'd be in. Rogue was in A-class, rank 18; meaning Gajeel has now been moved to class 3B as he was ranked 20, now 21st. In other words he's in the 'normal' section now. Sting was put into class 2B, he was sulking about how Rogue can be in the A-class and how he isn't when they're twins. Rufus was in the elite class for his amazing photographic memory. Give him anything and he'd memorise it. They gave him instructions to build something and 10 minutes later, it was done.

Currently there was a very angry pinkette… well salmonette glaring daggers at the blonde duo and amused friends watching everything take place.

Mirajane's POV

Squeal… I can see the wedding already! Natsu is DEFINITELY jealous! You see, Sting is currently clinging onto Lucy and flirting with her. Maybe Natsu will finally realise he love her? Lucy already admitted it. I think; Natsu's about explode! Hehe, matchmaking time!

"Oh dear! Are you alright Natsu?" I asked.

"Perfectly fine…" He replied with teeth clenched, still looking at the two. Currently, Lucy was laughing nervously and glancing at us for help… but it's just too amusing. Sting is sticking really close to her and smiling at her seductively and whispering things in her ear. At one point, Wendy turned bright red. The Dragoneels all have super good hearing. I wonder what she heard?

"N-natsu-san, you're drink is going everywhere!" Wendy squeaked.

"Natsu, calm down, you're scaring your sister!" Lisanna said trying to calm said boy.

"I told HIM not to touch her!" Natsu growled. Oh my! He must reeeeeally like Lucy!

"Calm down Natsu and clear up the mess you have made!" Erza said in a powerful voice.

"Jealous? Dragon-breath?"

"N-no! Stripper!" Sting must have heard Natsu stutter because he glanced over to Natsu and smirked before returning his attention to Lucy. Natsu seemed to grow more agitated and angry.

"Rogue? Do you think we should stop Sting?" Yukino asked. I glanced over to them and I could see the nervousness in her eyes. Whilst rogue just looked a little amused.

"Lucy-san~ I think you should date me!" Sting said seductively. Kyaaa! He asked her out! I wonder what Natsu thinks? Oh dear! He's really not happy!

"U-urr, S-sting… I-I don-" He cut her off.

"Is that not fast enough? How about we skip that and go straight to getting married?"

"U-umm, e-e-er, I-" Lucy was stuttering and her face was very red. I giggle at her reaction.

"Better yet… we can skip to the wedding evening." Sting said in a suggestive, seductive, low voice. He also winked at her. I think Lucy was ready to faint soon. I can see smoke being emitted from her head and her eyes are swirling a little.

"S-sting, I think you're going a bit far." Yukino whispered. How cute, her cheek had a tint of pink, decorating them.

"It's fine! Lucy-san is mine after all."

I suddenly heard a crash as Natsu stood up, letting his chair fall. Oooooh~ It's getting good! What is he going to do? Kyaaa! Will he confess and say Lucy is his? Kyaaaa! He walked over to the two and pulled Lucy to him. Her face was on his chest and he wound his arms protectively around her.

"Lucy is MINE!" He growled. "DON'T. TOUCH. HER!"

"Kyaaaa!" I squealed, everything went black…

Normal POV

Mira had just fainted and everyone was staring shocked at the trio. Lucy's face was getting hotter by the second as Natsu held her tightly.

"Ehh~ but Natsu-san, you're not dating!" Sting stated with a smirk as he reached over to Lucy. Natsu glared at him, tightening his grip on Lucy.

"Don't touch MY Lucy!"

Lucy's POV

Uwahh! I feel really embarrassed. D-did Natsu just say I'm his? "My Lucy" I can die happy right now.

"Lu-chan!" I head Levy whisper. I turned my head to the side so I could see the smirks on everyone's faces. They look really strange… going more towards creepy, rather than strange though.

"Y-yes Levy-chan?" I asked.

"My Lucy, huh? Heh heh" Oh no! That's Levy-chan's evil laugh. What is she planning?

"W-what are y-you talking about?"

"I bet you're happy!"

"Lucy-san is no longer Juvia's love rival!" Um… I wasn't your love rival to start with though…

"I-I still don't understand." That's it Lucy, just feign ignorance!

"Fufufu, if you say so~" Levy-chan said. Grr! I hate her sing-song voice.

"I do!"

"Oh my! It's bad to lie, Lucy." Mira said. When did she recover?

"I-I'm not Lying!"

"It's not good to be in denial, Lucy." Erza added. Urgh! Just give it a rest!

Normal POV

"I'm not in den- Kyaaa!" Lucy screamed as Natsu and Sting crashed into her. They were stacked on top of each other, Lucy at the bottom, Natsu in the middle and Sting on top. Everything became silent as they stared at the three.

"Get. Off. Me!" Lucy screeched. They immediately scrambled off at Lucy's low, threatening voice and stood up.

"S-sorry Luce!"

"Yeah, sorry Lucy-san!" Natsu immediately helped her up. He pulled her up with a strong force, causing her to crash into his chest: the two land on the floor again. The two were staring at each other, faces too close for comfort and red cheeks decorating their faces. The girls were squealing and saying how cute they were. The two were shocked and too embarrassed to move, until a voice interrupted them.

"They liiiiiiiiiiike each other!" A voice said, rolling it's tongue.

"My, how inappropriate! You need to treat a lady delicately." Another voice added. Lucy and Natsu snapped out of their frozen states and stood, turning to face the two… cats. Specifically Happy and Charle.

"What are you doing here, Happy?" Natsu asked, patting the blue cat on the head.

"I just came to visit!"

"Oh okay."

"That's it! Why is everyone's reaction so weak? They are talking cats!" Sting shouted.

"Sting-sama, if you were listening to the conversation and not teasing Lucy-sama, you would know why!" Yukino exclaimed with a pout.

"… So why are the cats talking?"

"He's stupid!" Happy snickered.

"Lucy-sama made a device that allows us to understand what cats are saying!" Yukino huffed.

"Oh. Right." Sting said. A grin spread across his face as he walked over to Lucy, pushing Natsu away, putting an arm around her. "As expected of my woman. She's smart AND beautiful!" He said as he winked at her. The girls were squealing again and the boys were pretending to throw up. Lucy blushed a little as she unwrapped his arm that was around her. Natsu, witnessing this, was fuming. He really wanted to punch Sting. The girls and boys both, noticing the fidgeting and anger on Natsu, smirked.

"Firstly, I'm not your woman!" Lucy said, after she calmed herself. She was pointing towards Sting, holding one finger up.

"You're just shy, sweet cheeks." He purred to her.

"Secondly, DON'T call me 'sweet cheeks'" Lucy said, holding up another finger. Her voice was holding a little malice that made Sting shiver. Natsu was snickering at him.

"Thirdly, thank you for call me smart a-and b-beautiful…" She said, lowering her hand, with pink flowing around her face.

"No problem, sw- I mean Lucy-san" Sting said nervously, loosing his flirtatious voice as he almost called her "Sweet cheeks" again.

"D-do, you and Rogue want one of the devices?" She asked, looking at the two shyly.

"We can?" Sting asked.

"Of course, I only have one lesson this afternoon and I was just finished another client's request for stuff, so I have free time."

"Then yeah! Thanks!" Sting said, happily.

"Thanks." Rogue muttered. You could see a small smile on his face though.

Gray, Gajeel and Happy walked over to the fuming Natsu. He wasn't happy about the exchange.

Natsu's POV

Why does Lucy have to make one for Sting? I don't mind Rogue but she should just ignore Sting. Stupid flirt… Grrr! Will he stop clinging to her? She just said she'd make him a device for his cat that he apparently had, since he was a child. Who care? Anyway, it's not like they're dating… Will he just STOP touching her!

"OI, what's wrong with you, Flame-brain?"

"Nothing, Ice-popsicle!" I growled.

"Sheesh, calm down Salamander, just coz Bunny-girl is talking with Sting." Of course I'd be angry. She's talking with STING!

"Shut up Metal head!"

"You liiiiike her!" Happy said, snickering and eating fish. I wonder where he got the fish from…

"Someone jealous?" Stripper said.

"N-no."

"Course ya not." Metal face said. They were all smirking at me. What the hell is wrong with them? Did they eat something bad or something?

End of School, Walking Home – Normal POV

"So the new request is to get a moon shaped pendant." Lucy said, walking beside Natsu. "Natsu? Are you listening?" Natsu snapped out of his thought when he heard his name.

"Huh? Oh, sorry Luce… What was that?" He smiled at her as she pouted.

"I said we have to find a moon shaped pendant!"

"For who?"

"New request."

"Oh. Okay."

"Natsu… is everything alright? It seems like something is on your mind?" She asked as they stopped walking.

"Nah, it's nothing Luce." He flashed her a grin before they continued walking again.

"Is it… about Sting?" He flinched at little, telling her she was right. "Natsu, what don't you like about Sting?" He mumbled something as a reply. "Huh? I can't hear you if you cover your mouth with your scarf!"

"He keeps touching you and being too friendly" He said, in a disgusted voice.

"Hm… we're just friends… unless… is someone jealous?" Lucy said in a teasing voice, her heart started to race at the thought.

"N-no?" Lucy started giggling.

"What's with saying that like a question?"

"Fine, I am!" Natsu said in a sulking voice. He crossed his arms across his chest, making him look like a pouting child. Lucy was frozen for a moment until a chill ran down her spine, from the cold. She breathed on her hands to warm them up.

"W-why?" She asked timidly.

"Because you're mu best friend." Her heart sank a little, but that was better than nothing.

"You're my best-friend too." She said. He snuck a look in her direction, seeing her trying to warm up her hands. He grabbed her hand, his face warming up a little, startling her. She looked at him and caught him sneaking another look at her, they locked eyes for a moment before they looked away.

"You're hands are cold, right?"

"Mm." She replied, her face a bright red. "T-thanks." He looked at her again and squeezed her hand. They were in a serene silence until Natsu remembered something.

"So about the request…"


How was it? I thought it could have been better but I couldn't think. It's not the best chapter but a few more chapters and it's the main story! or arc? Anyways, please R&R! :D
