Chapter 9: Trickery
It was a Saturday morning in the Heartifilia mansion and Lucy is already up and about preparing for the movie group date. She was wearing a pink shirt, white and black horizontal-striped skirt and a jacket just in case she was cold. It was already 9.20am and it took a 20 minute walk to the theatres.
When she got down to the dining room both her parents were sitting there eating their breakfast. Once she sat down Virgo left her breakfast on the table and she quickly ate it.
"Where are you going sweetie?"
"I'm going to hang out with my friends to watch a movie mom."
"Oh really? That's great!" Layla was smiling.
"Don't do anything silly alright Lucy?" Jude had a serious look on his face.
"Don't worry Dad I won't."
Once she finished eating she walked out of the house and headed to the theatre. She was humming to herself, feeling more excited with each step she took. It almost looks like she was skipping her way there.
It was already 9.50am when she got there however she saw none of her friends there. There was one person leaning on the wall and sadly it wasn't who she wanted to see, Laxus had his eyes closed listening to his iPod.
"Just great…out of everyone who had to be waiting there it had to be Laxus…" She groaned. However she was curious, why was he the only one here? Were the others already inside? As she walked closer to him, he seems to sense her presence as his eyes were open and looked at her direction.
"Heh, looks like someone finally showed up."
"Where are the others?"
He shrugged his shoulder. "I haven't seen them. You're the first person here besides me."
She tilted her head with confusion. "No one's here yet?"
"I won't repeat myself blondie." He folded his arms across his chest and closed his eyes as he continued to listen to his music.
She sighed. 'I guess we can wait a little longer for the others.' She leaned on the wall next to Laxus and waited. After 10 minutes no one seems to arrive yet. She was getting suspicious. Laxus was frowning he probably felt the same as her, something was wrong.
When Lucy suddenly felt her phone vibrate, she saw the caller ID was from Levy and she quickly answer it.
"Levy-chan? Where are you guys?"
"Sorry Lu-chan we were err… Well Er-chan, Natsu, Gray, Loke and Gajeel had another meeting for the performance and had to see principal Makarov again. Cana-chan, Mira-chan and Juvia-chan had an erm…appointment they had to go so they had to cancel it at the last minute. I had to err…stay at home to take care of the…err…the house!"
Lucy had an angry chip on her head, Levy was just a horrible liar like herself.
"…Levy-chan…you never needed to look after the house since you had a bull dog guarding your house and besides your mom doesn't work she doesn't leave the house often, you don't need to take care of anything. (A/N: yay imagination.) If Cana and Mira had an appointment they would have texted me that they couldn't make it. Juvia called me last night asking me to come to the theatres. And if the other guys had to see the principal for another performance meeting Laxus wouldn't be standing here with me waiting for you guys. Are you planning something?"
Lucy can hear muffled voices on the other line, several muffled voices. She was suspecting that the others were with her.
"Levy-chan…" Her voice was soft and menacing.
"Erm, Lu-chan why not you go hang out with Laxus? I'm sure the two of you will have lots of fun together. Since you guys spend a lot of time with each other."
She suddenly realise that they were trying to hook her up with Laxus, her face turned red.
"Are you guys trying to hook me up with Laxus?" She hissed.
"Huh? What did you say?" She heard crunching noises, Levy was trying to pretend that the line was cutting off.
"Levy-chan! Don't you dare use that lame move on me! I know you guys are purposely doing it!"
"Sorry –crunch- I can't hear you –crunch- connection breaking… –crunch-"
The line was cut off. Oh she was beyond furious now. She glared at her phone, if looks could kill her glare would have reached Levy and the others. 'When I see them tomorrow, oh they are going to get it…' She was already cracking her knuckles. Her anger aura was flowing out of her body.
"Bixlow! When I see the three of you tomorrow you're all going to fucking pay for it!"
She turned around and saw Laxus shouting and cursing at his phone. He was also glaring at his phone with rage and turned to her. She backed away slightly, she didn't want him to use his rage on her. When Laxus saw her backed away from him with fear, he turned his face away with his eyes closed and rubbing his temples with a sigh trying to calm himself. After a while he finally calmed down and turned back to her.
"You also got tricked into this huh?"
She only nodded not trusting her voice to speak. He sighed again and stared at her.
"Come on let's get this over with."
She was confused. "Huh? Get over with what?"
He digs his hands in his pocket and flashes her two tickets. As she looks at it closely it was the new movie that the others wanted to watch. Then she arched her brow at him.
"How did you get those?"
Laxus grumbled murmurs that Lucy was unable to hear until he spoke up.
"Bixlow shoved them to me without explanation. I was about to ask him but he just said I should keep it until tomorrow, now I know the reason why he did it." He rubbed his temples again, feeling his anger building up.
"Oh…"
Looks like they also planned it with the others, she sighs again.
"Well…since they went through all the trouble to do this, let's just watch it."
Lucy looked at him with disbelief. Was he actually giving in to their ideas?
"We are doing this just so the tickets aren't going to be a waste alright? Don't get any wrong ideas."
She glared at him. "Why would I think about anything else?"
"You're probably thinking that we are on a date or something. Or that we are going to go all lovey-dovey with each other… Actually never mind think whatever you like." His smirk plastered on his face.
Her face turned red. "Argh! I would never think of anything like that you pervert!"
"Heh really now? Then why is your face all red blondie?" His teeth were showing as his smirk grew.
"My face isn't red!" She tried hiding her face with her bangs.
"Don't try to hide it blondie, it's so obvious that even a ship would mistake it as a lighthouse." He was snickering at her.
"Shut up Laxus! You stupid jerk!" She started hitting his chest but Laxus continued to laugh at her as if her hits tickled him. He allowed her to hit him a number of times until he grabs both of her hands to stop her. She looked up and glared at him seeing him sigh and lets her go taking a step back.
"Come on, the movie's about to start. If we don't head in now they'll lock the doors."
He walked into the theatre followed by Lucy who gave him a huff. 'Stupid jerk face…'
"I can hear you blondie, if you're talking to yourself you aren't doing a very good job." His smirk came back.
She hadn't realised that she was talking out loud and Laxus heard it no less, how embarrassing. She hit his head and he growled at her.
"Hit me again blondie and I'll do something horrible to you."
She huff and walked towards the counter to get popcorn with Laxus. Before they got in with the popcorn in hand, Lucy heard a faint whisper from the muscular man which she never thought she'll ever hear.
"I'm sorry…"
She was frozen in place with shock, nearly dropping her popcorn. 'D-did he just said that?' Her eyes widened, was he sorry for the stuff he said to her? She blinked several times before hearing Laxus calling for her. She shook her head and grinned walking to Laxus.
'Who knew this pervert could say that. He's not so bad after all.'
Woot! A date with Laxus! Sadly I feel that this doesn't have enough fluff! Maybe the next chapter I will add more fluff… Laxus is back being his jerky-self again but he's still nice towards her.
If there are grammatical mistakes here I apologize for it! I hope you guys like this chapter!
