My Chemistry Partner
Levy removed her hand and sighed, "Geez, did you have to be so loud?"
Lucy smirked back to her friend, "Oh but of course! How else could I find such a sweet and lovely time to give you your own medicine."
"Lu-chan..." The blunette whined, realizing this was the first time of many.

This was probably the worst timing Natsu could think of.
But the teen boy just couldn't get the simple thought out of his head. He couldn't answer it, or understand it. Why did the blonde girl next to him look so attractive? Why did he want her to come to his house so badly, why'd he want her to meet her to meet his mom and dad? Further more, why couldn't he stop thinking about her?
Frankly he has no damn clue. His mind swarmed as he tried shooing the strange thoughts away. They were foreign in his brain, to even think about someone so much...
Wasn't that something a boyfriend would do? Thinking back, he never had his mind overwhelmed by Lisanna. For a moment he felt wrong, did he... was he thinking about Lucy like this when he was still dating the short white haired girl? But he quickly shook away the thought. He didn't want dwell anymore on what happened with Lisanna, it was in the past.
Still, he couldn't put his finger on what was going on with his thoughts. Of course there was the blunt voice in his head saying 'You like her dumbass' but he would drain it out before his face could turn any frightening shade of red.
"Luce..." The boy said out loud, his eyes moving down to the blonde walking next to him.
"Hm?" She asked back with a simple hum, her honey brown eyes looking up towards him.
For a moment, he got lost in her eyes. It was like a puzzle, he was usually so good at reading people but... she was like a maze with no start or finish. Trying to figure out what was going through her head was like hitting dead ends over and over.
Realizing he had been staring the pinkette coughed and looked forward, "You know a lot about-" He cut himself off, just what was he planning to ask her? You know a lot about love right? Stupid! He shouldn't just randomly ask something like that. But then how could he find out? And who was better to ask then the person occupying his thoughts. "You know a lot about, ahem, love right? Being a writer and all."
The blonde's mouth snapped open, forming an almost oval shape. "Er.. well..."
Natsu quickly cut her off, "Its for a friend, not me!" He ran to the nearest cliche, the easiest out. Making up a friend to get answers.
"O-oh..." She almost sounded disappointed, but her eyes stayed hidden and he wasn't able to tell if she was. "Well I-I guess. Why?"
"..." Natsu hesitated, his eyes on the path in front of them, "They can't stop thinking about someone."
Lucy turned her head, so she too was looking ahead. "Sorry," She mumbled, her cheeks still red from his earlier question, "Can you explain a little more?"
"My friend, he recently has been hanging out with this girl. He thinks she's really nice... and pretty." He snicked a glance to the blonde, hoping she didn't catch his white lie.
"..." The blonde nodded her head, as if willing him to continue. She showed no sign of figuring out his small lie.
"But it's not normal for him to think that... he thinks girls can be nice looking- sure- but he finds her..." Natsu trailed off, unable to find the right word.
Luckily, it seemed Lucy had a vocabulary full, "Prepossessing." She offered. The word was new to the pinkette, and his face must have given it away because the blonde sighed after looking up at him, "It means finding their appearance attractive."
"No your-!" Natsu stopped himself again, "She's so much more to him that just...", his eyes met Lucy's brown ones once again. He was getting so fired up over this, it wasn't that she was just a pretty face... she was more. A lot more.
"Enchanting."
The word was like the missing puzzle piece to a two-thousand word puzzle. The relief washed over the pinkette as the word seemed perfect.
"Yeah. Enchanting... he finds her enchanting. Amazing, delightful, adorable, lovely..."
The blonde next to him could feel her face heating up as he spoke so passionately while staring at her. She almost felt he was talking about her.
"So he likes her?" She asked the question that loomed in her mind
Natsu froze, as if his feet glued to the ground. "I-I don't know."
"Well he thinks so highly of her..."
"But their friends!"
"Natsu, I doubt your friend finds you adorable and lovely."
That struck Natsu as odd. He hadn't thought of it that way. True he didn't find any of his other friends enchanting or what not. He enjoyed their company and he could probably say good things about them but... it was different.
"That's... true."
"So he likes her? Tell me a little more."
Natsu swallowed, his feet began to move again. "Well... he loves her eyes. He wants to always be around her..." The more he said the more obvious is felt.
"Natsu?" The blonde asked, gaining the pinkette's attention
"Yea, Lucy?" Their eyes met again. Lucy's brown eyes were serious, slightly humored as she spoke slowly to him.
"Your friend likes the girl. He should accept it and decide what to do next." Natsu lingered on her every word. She was unknowingly telling him that he liked her and he should figure out what to do about it. Wanting a last bit of advice from her, the pinkette opened his mouth.
"So what should he do?"
"Find out if he likes her."
"Then what?"
"Well... I don't really know their situation, but if they both really like each-other, most people date."
Natsu took a long breath before repeating, "They should date?"
"Yeah," Lucy nodded, "So how come your friend hasn't figured this out yet?"
The pinkette gave her a sheepish smile before looking ahead of them, "He's kinda dense. She is too though."
Hey guys, I really wanted to do this for a while and made an entire chapter about it so yay.
I wrote some stuff I really wanted to be in my author's note before I even wrote the chapter, so without further ado;
x-X-x
WOAH WHAT IS THIS? I'll explain to you what I mean...
I wrote this before the story, and I don't know if that's common for other people but I never do this. However my inspiration for this chapter is from you guys. Everyone who left supportive reviews- thank you. Those two words can not express how thankful I am. I actually started crying because the words you guys sent to me, not only in reviews but those who PMed me, were so touching and thougtful I decided I needed to make this author's note right now at 3:43 am.
[To; cookie. panda-roo] This isn't the first time your review made me smile. First of all, thank you for supporting me as much as you have, thank you for reading my story. Thank you for encouraging me to continue since the very beginning. I really appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart.
[To; WelcomeToTheAnimeParade] Your words are really supportive to hear, the fact you used the periodic table words made my heart warm up. I am lucky to have amazing people like you read my story. Thank you for reading, I promise I'll be updating.
[To; Rainbowpoptartcat] This makes me really hopeful as of getting out of my writers block, thanks for encouraging me and reading since the very beginning, I hope you know how much it means to me that you've stayed with me for so long and still support me.
[To; Evilneko101] Thank you so much for reading and supporting me and the story, I'm super glad you like. I'll make sure to keep going at it, so thank you for pushing me to want to continue.
[To; FuckingAwesome123] Your name is fucking awesome first off lol. Thanks for actually taking the time to read the author note, even though you normally don't. The encouragement you gave me brought tears to my eyes, and your right bad reviews do make us writers want to do better :)
[To; deathwave1] I'm really glad you liked the part where Lisanna gets a second chance. Thank you so much for reading and supporting me with my writers block problem, I'm still working it out, but hopefully I'll get new chapters out for you to read ^^
[To; ThatWeirdGirlOverThere] OK by now I'm crying and your comment literately put the biggest smile on my face. The advice you gave me is very useful and I'm using it right now for my next chapter (technically this one). I promise to not forget about updating, how could I?
[To; FairyTailLife] By now I'm crying and smiling and all mushy and this really stood out to me as well. Thank you for being that encouraging to someone you don't know much about, and the fact you as well know what it's like to deal with anxiety made your review shine out and really mean a great length to me. Thanks for reading and supporting me, you gave me strength to choose the idea for this chapter.
[To; Gothazon] You too have been here since the first few chapters (yes I notice these things x3). Thank you for being so kind and giving me the motivation to continue, I truly appreciate it.
Special Thanks To Those Who Took The Time To Pm Me.
