Chapter 11: Why Can't Weee Be Friends~
X
Natsu felt groggy as he woke up. He rubbed his eyes with slowed movements; his body just felt really heavy for some reason. His eyes adjusted and he realized it was either really late, or really early; seeing how the sun wasn't there to bother him. Since it was getting somewhat visible, Natsu assumed it must've been pretty damn early.
He sat up and heaved his feet off the side of his bed with great effort. Shoulders slumped, Natsu stared blankly at seemingly everything yet he was seeing nothing.
Basically, he was spacing out.
Natsu tried thinking why he felt like complete shit for several long minutes before drawing a blank. Natsu checked the time and saw that it was 4:02 A.M.
Well, at least he knew now it was Sunday. Maybe recalling yesterday's event would explain this shitty feeling…
'Alright… so what happened yesterday, I woke up and went to work out…saw Gajeel the blue haired chick and Lucy-'
Ah, yes… Now he knew why he was feeling like shit.
Well, he sort of knew.
Lucy fucking Heartfillia.
He didn't know why she had that much influence over him but unfortunately and weirdly, she did.
Regardless, she was the cause for his bad night of sleep. At least that's what he thinks- no, that's what he knew. He tossed and turned all night because of some nagging tug in his emotional state of mind.
He eventually dragged his feet off of the ground and headed to the restroom with a slowness that rivaled a turtle's pace.
He had to start his day sometime, seeing as he probably wouldn't be able to get back to sleep, might as well start off with a shower. Plus, he wasn't going to let a little thing like this stop him from being himself.
Besides, he had friends now.
He smiled as he stepped in the shower at this realization.
'I have friends now!' he cheerfully thought as water ran down his body.
"I ain't letting no one bring me down!" He loudly declared with a determined look in his eyes.
Suddenly, Gildarts voice could be heard.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP NATSU! SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL ASLEEP."
Natsu chuckled sheepishly.
"Whoops."
X
Lucy growled while banging her head against the wall. She was currently in the midst of cursing herself for her stupidity. When she had gotten home from her run in with Natsu, she realized that her stupidity and insecurities had upset a person who didn't deserve it.
She felt like a complete ass.
Welp.
She had really gone and done did it this time.
'WELL SHIT, YOU SURE INDEED GONE AND DONE DID IT YOU YOU SPOILSPORT!'
Lucy blanched. Oh god no, it was her. Why was it she always picked the worst possible moment to pop up?
'YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT'S ME! And I'll have you know that you put yourself in these situation, so as the conscious with the better common sense, I intrude on OUR wellbeing!'
Lucy gave a frustrated sigh, 'Yeah yeah… I know… Damnit! This is Déjà vu all over again!'
'Calm your massive tits down! I have a solution… well it's more of a compromise, but same difference!'
Lucy cocked an eyebrow, 'A compromise…?' Lucy then narrowed her eyes in suspicions, '… What kind of compromise?'
Inner-Lucy smirked, 'Alright, so here's my compromise…'

Sunday passed by quickly for Natsu and despite his usual demeanor of being slightly stoic and cool, he found himself being both anxious and excited. He was excited because he would be meeting Erza for lunch and anxious because he had to go to class.
He dreaded going to class; he knew it was inevitable, but he eventually had to meet with his blonde bipolar neighbor in some fashion.
Some way.
Some how.
It was bound to happen.
Natsu sighed and stared at the classroom door before pushing it open, he smirked when he saw no one there; he had taken extra care to come a half hour early so he'd be able to just sit in his corner and avoid eye contact with everyone.
Especially her.
Yes, it was a great diabolical plan that he had concocted to avoid trouble-
On instinct, Natsu ducked when he felt a projectile coming his way. He was able to glance at the projectile and recognized a fist.
Natsu rolled back to create distance between the attacker and him as the fist hit the edge of his billowing scarf.
Then he blinked…
And he blinked again.
Then he grinned, "Oho! So metal head decided to show up to class today eh?"
Gajeel growled, "Come here and let me hit you!"
Natsu ran to a corner of the classroom and stuck laughed before smiling impishly, "And why the hell would I let you do that? Not a single person in the world would let someone hit them unless they're a masochist or an idiot!"
"Good thing you're an idiot!" Gajeel yelled back.
"I know you are, but what am i?" Natsu childishly retorted, enjoying his friend's anger.
"This is payback!"
"Payback…?" Natsu looked a bit confused as he racked his brains for a possible answer. His face lit up in realization, "Oh! Are you talking about that incident with the blue midget?"
"Oi! Watch it! She's not a blue midget! And I am talking about that and… WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!?"
Natsu crossed his arms across his chest, "You're telling me nothing good came across from that?!"
Gajeel blushed, "W-well I wouldn't say nothing good came out of it, but I wa-"
"Stop doing that you nasty! What are you, A little school girl?!" Natsu asked with a slightly disgusted face.
Gajeel didn't know what the hell he was talking about but he took offense to the pinkette's words, "HUH! What the hell are you talking about Dragneel!"
"You blushing like an idiot!"
"I am not!"
"Whatever, I'm guessing you're gonna stay in class today then?" Natsu asked as he walked to his seat in the corner.
Gajeel followed suit and replied gruffly, "I guess, heading back up for lunch?"
Natsu nodded in affirmative, "Yep, by the way, got a surprise for lunch today."
Gajeel sighed, "Listen Dragneel, you can't surprise me if I already know you're gay."
Natsu glared, "I am not gay. I REPEAT; I AM NOT GAY!"
Gajeel chuckled roughly at his reaction. They ignored the students that were trickling in a few people at a time.
Natsu's visage changed into a smirk, "You know what? I think you're gay."
It was Gajeel's turn to glare this time, "And why the hell would you think that?"
"Cause you're too scared to make a move on a certain sea creature." Natsu's eyes glinted mischievously.
"Scared of a certain sea creature…?" Gajeel murmured to himself trying to connect the pieces.
Natsu rolled his eyes, "You idiot, I'm talking about Shrimp-chan and if it that doesn't clear it up for you, I suppose I can say her name if you really need me to clear it up for you; LE-"
"Shut up Dragneel!" Gajeel hissed out venomously.
They continued bantering and bickering while the students stared at Natsu in awe; the new kid had managed to bring Gajeel to class and take verbal shots at him?
What a legendary badass.
Everyone continued to gawk and stare at Natsu like he was an extraterrestrial being. Just how did this entity bring the metal pierced hornet down from it's nest?
This was the scene that Lucy walked upon. A class full of kids staring at one Natsu Dragneel and Gajee-
What the fuck!
Lucy stared at Natsu with a mixture of curiosity and wonder; was it him who brought the almost non-existent boy to class?
'How in the hell did he accomplish that?!'
Almost immediately following her thought, Lucy heard the door slam shut and a voice follow suit.
"Alright everyone! Class is starting! Get in your damn seats!" Loke bellowed. The orange haired teacher then brought out a clipboard. Everyone waited looking expectantly at him while occasionally stealing glances at the two 'delinquents' in the corner.
Reading off from his clipboard, the orange haired teacher began reading off the attendance. One by one, names were called until he was finished.
Once done, he turned around and headed towards the whiteboard, "Alright class, today we're gonna be focusing-"
"Yo teach, you didn't call my name." a gruff voice came.
Loke Leo blanched, he hasn't heard that voice since the beginning of the semester… And because of that, he got used to the fact that Gajeel was never there. Hence the reason he always skipped his name.
"A-Ah! G-G-Gajeel! You're here today…" Loke stuttered out.
Gajeel simply nodded while Loke spouted off random excuses as to why he didn't read off Gajeel's name. Natsu took this opportunity to lean in and whispered something into Gajeel's ear.
"Penis."
Gajeel closed his eyes and tried to reign in his emotions. The word that Natsu just whispered to him was actually stupidly funny. Gajeel's chest started to shake from the laughter he was trying to hold in. Alas, it was not meant to be as a slight "gihi" erupted from his mouth.
The class sat with mouths agape with their attention directed towards the source of the noise. Natsu leaned back and smirked as the idiot in front of him kept on laughing while trying to glare at him.
Natsu simply looked outside the window and hummed an innocent tune as he feigned ignorance to his friend's situation.
"Dragneel- Gihi- You piece of- gihi- asswipe!" Gajeel attempted to growl out.
Suddenly, Natsu just bursted out in laughter and gave a huge smile. It was just too much for him and to add the fact that everyone was staring at them made it a hundred times funnier.
Nearly everyone's jaw in the class dropped to the floor. Guys were looking at Natsu thinking how the hell he made fun of the infamous Gajeel without getting his face pummeled in. That or how brave he was to do what he just did.
Girls on the other hands were blushing furiously at the sound of Natsu's laughter. Never had they heard such a harmonious laughter from a boy. They never expected such a soothing voice from the supposed delinquent… Perhaps they ought to rethink their opinions of him?
Maybe, just maybe…
Lucy was stared at Natsu enraptured by his laughter once again. It was just so damn smooth. And not just that, it was so joyful and it radiated happiness.
'And it ain't just affecting you! Look all these idiots blushing like schoolgirls!' Inner-Lucy mentally yelled.
Already being used to her outburst (Inburst?), Lucy rolled her eyes, 'They ARE school girls, god you're so dumb sometimes.'
'You literally just called yourself dumb.' Retorted inner-Lucy.
And so their mental bickering began.
Again.
Lucy was about to retort to Inner-Lucy's remark about Lucy being a hobo of some sorts when her phone vibrated. Shutting off her mental connection with her other subconscious, she whipped her phone out and cocked her head at the message.
Erza Scarlet: Greetings once again Lucy. It is I, Erza Scarlet who is messaging you. I am sending this message to you and Levy McGarden to inform that both of you will be accompanying me on an expedition during lunch.
Lucy sighed. Why was it that she was always dragged into the most troublesome situation? She was going to use that time to approach Natsu and hopefully patch up some rough works.
'Maybe I should just tell her that I'm busy with actual important school stuff-'
Suddenly, her phone vibrated again signaling another message had been received.
Erza Scarlet: You nor Levy has a choice in the matter.
'Well, there goes my plans.' Lucy dully thought.

Loke was super hung over; him and the other teachers gathered over the weekend and celebrated a new teacher named- uh… her name was…
Loke blinked.
'Huh, I can't seem to remember her name… Ugh… too drunk.'
Because of his blasted headache, he decided to let class go to lunch a half hour early; Since lunch was an hour, he'd use that time to drive to the store and get some aspirin or something.
"Alright class! Because of erm- an emergency situation, class will be let off early for lunch! Just don't tell any teacher or person with authority that." Without waiting for any from of response, Loke briskly walked out.
Natsu and Gajeel quickly followed suit without anyone noticing. By the time everyone realized what their teacher had said, they cheered loudly and then suddenly it got quiet.
A random student asked, "Wait… Lunch doesn't serve for another half hour… What the hell are we supposed to do in the mean time?"
Insert more awkward pause.
For about thirty minutes.

"Oi! Dragneel! I gotta take a shit. I'll meet you up there?" Gajeel said as he walked toward the restroom.
"Yeah yeah." Natsu waved him off as he headed towards the stairs leading to the roof. As soon as he reached the last stair, he opened the door leading outside.
'Oh lord, why the hell can't I catch a break from blondes?' Natsu thought as he saw a person waiting and staring at him. Natsu sighed, "What do you want?" his tone of voice wasn't hostile or antagonizing, it was more of a tired and slightly annoyed tone. This was a person he did not want to see.
Kami his luck was so damn unfortunate.
The blonde looked at him, "I've been looking for you."
Natsu smirked, "Sorry man, I'm not gay."
Laxus scowled but otherwise didn't fall for the verbal taunt, "Whatever you queer, that's not why I'm here. What's your relation to the blonde bimbo?"
Natsu narrowed his eyes, having a good idea of whom he was talking about, he still feigned ignorance, "Hmm? There are so many blondes in the world… Could you describe her for me?"
Laxus growled but otherwise complied with his game, "Bitch with brown eyes, huge tits, bubble butt, skinny waist-"
Natsu slammed his fist into his hand, taking on a look of realization, "Oh! I know who you're talking about! Big titted blonde? Sound's a lot like your mother." He finished snidely.
Laxus gritted his teeth in anger and glared at the teen across from him, "If you don't stop fucking around, I'm gonna kick your ass!"
Natsu scoffed, "Like you kicked my ass on the train?"
"You got lucky!" Laxus yelled.
Natsu's eyes hardened, "Want me to prove you wrong?"
Laxus rolled up his sleeves as an answer.
