Pillow Wars
Natsu was creeping along the corridor toward the Lucifer guild rest area. The barriers had been dissolved after the first day, but none of the teams, besides Fairy Tail A and B, had found the need to visit one another. Unless you counted Ichiya attempting to woo Erza again only to face her wrath before Jellal could have a go. Earlier today he had made a mess of things and wanted to patch it up with Lucy, in the hopes they might be able to rebuild their friendship. He had taken a liking to the blond mage a while ago but not realized it until she was gone. With her return came the feelings of longing for the celestial spirit controller. He had been amazed at her skill against him and wanted to see how she would hold her own in a longer battle. Natsu was even lusting have her newfound power, hoping it might be able to tame or bring out part of the dragon he knew existed inside him.
He rounded the corner to the Lucifer guild quarters to hear laughing. The door opened and with it came feathers and fabric, along with two mages. A boy and girl. They were shrieking as they whacked each other with barely filled pillows, the feathers flying. It took a moment, but when he saw a streak of blond he knew it was Lucy. Then her partner in this fight became clear. Haru Bernein. The mage she had grown close to in her new guild and even had the nerve to go into the couples challenge with. A snarl rose in his chest, but trying to keep his presence unknown, he pushed it back. They stopped for a moment, inches away from each other. Haru leaned in closer and Lucy's eyes fluttered close. Just as Natsu was leaping into action Haru's name was called out by his twin and the boy rushed back into the fight.
Natsu watched Lucy stand there in a daze, his Lucy, not Haru's. Yet, just then in front of him she had almost become Haru's. Natsu shrunk slightly, Lucy's eyes swiveled in his direction. They widened in surprise as she stared at him. He gave a small wave in return, and even flipped his hand into the familiar "L". She stared at him for a moment longer, pain over coming all expressions in her face, before she too rushed back into the room and shut the door behind her.
Sighing, Natsu turned away and headed back to his own guild room. Just outside in the hall where Natsu was heading Jellal had Erza trapped up against a wall. Not wanting to witness anymore couple scenes tonight he turned away and stayed hidden until he was sure they had gone. It seemed as though everyone was pairing off into couples without him, all because the love of his life was somewhere he couldn't seem to reach quite yet.
Note: I'm feeling quite depressed after that chapter. Anyway, things should be more exciting sometime in the future. Most likely next chapter. There might not be an update next week, no idea at this point. Ten reviews maybe? ~May
