Chapter 11
Lucy decided to wear her new skirt and off the shoulder shirt she had bought earlier that day. She paired it with white sandals that laced up to below her knees. She called out Cancer, to lightly curl her hair and left it down. Once she was finished she decided to go down stairs and see if Freed was ready.
Freed was sitting in the living room waiting for Lucy. He was ecstatic about going out to dinner with her. He would help her in anyway he could to get through the ordeal she has gone through. I would do anything for her. He was brought out of his thoughts by Lucy walking down the stairs. His eyes widened with how beautiful she looked.
"Lucy you look beautiful!" Freed got off the couch and walked over to her. "You ready to go to dinner?"
"Thank you Freed, you look handsome as always. Yes, where are we going?"
"There is this little Italian place down the road from here that I wanted to take you too. Do you like Italian?" Lucy nodded and they walked out of Freed's house. Lucy slowly reached for his hand as they walked. He smiled at her and laced their fingers together.
"Freed, can I ask a favor?"
"Of course."
"Could you put ruins around my apartment and have it so only you, Ever, Bix, Laxus and master can enter without permission?"
"Of course, we will do that tomorrow if you like?" Lucy nodded, and they continued to walk to the restaurant in comfortable silence. Once they were seated they started to look through the menu.
"Please order anything you want, and if you want we can order dessert to take home. This my treat."
"Thank you." Lucy smiled at him. He seems so relaxed compared to how he is in the guild. "What's good from here?"
"I enjoy the lasagna, Alfredo pasta with chicken and mushrooms, or the steak."
"I want to try the Alfredo pasta, that sounds good. I am ready to order when you are." She said. Freed waved down their waiter. Freed ordered the lasagna and a soup. Lucy ordered the Alfredo pasta and a salad. They both got ice tea to drink. They talked while they waited for the food.
"Lucy, would you like to become my partner and join the Thunder Legion? I wanted to ask you before speaking to Laxus about it."
"You would really want me for a partner and to join Thunder Legion? I'm not as strong as you all are."
"Lucy you are strong. I was also thinking that if you would like, we could all help train you in hand to hand combat. Bickslow would be able to teach you some acrobatic things that could help you get away if needed."
Lucy smiled, "I would love to be your partner and join Thunder Legion, but only if the others agree as well. I like the idea of training. Lets talk to them about it tomorrow?" Freed nodded.
As they were eating, they continued to talk about anything and everything they could think of. Freed told Lucy how his magic was learned, much like hers was. The more they talked Lucy found out that he was really sweet, caring, and had a sense of humor. Lucy told him about all the keys she had, and how Aquarius was her first spirit, and got it from her mother.
Once they finished their dinner, they ordered dessert to take back with them. They decided to watch a movie at Freed's house.
"Let's get our pajamas on and then we can set up our desserts, and watch a movie. Does that sound good to you Freed?"
"Yes, that sounds good. Lets go change and get comfortable for the night." They both walked upstairs and went into their rooms. Lucy put on a pair of dark green sleep shorts that stopped just below mid-thigh, changed her bra for a sports bra, and a dark green tank top. She put her hair up in a messy bun and put on a pair of fuzzy socks. She looked in the mirror and hated seeing the scars on her leg, but she wanted to get through what happened and accept her scars. She headed down stairs to the living room. Freed was already there, had desserts set up and a glass of milk for each of them.
He turned to when he heard her come in the room, he could only stare at her. She is so breath taking. Freed you are a lucky guy, to have someone as sweet and gorgeous as her. Lucy blushed when he kept staring at her.
"Should I change? I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Lucy whispered.
Freed shook his head, "You don't need to change, I was just thinking how beautiful you look like that. Come sit with me, I have everything ready, just tell me what movie you would like to watch."
"Would you watch the new Beauty and the Beast movie with me?" She asked shyly.
"Of course. It's the live version right?" Freed said with a smile. Lucy smiled back, and she noticed that he looked good in sweatpants and a t-shirt. Once the movie they grabbed their desserts and started eating.
"Yep! This is yummy! And thank you for today. I really enjoyed myself."
"I enjoyed myself as well." They continued to watch the movie, and Lucy started to sing along to a song;
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
"Lucy, your voice is amazing." Freed was very surprised with her voice, and would have to get her to sing again sometime. Lucy blushed at the complement. She looked to see that he was looking at her with admiration in his eyes. She couldn't help but smile. She didn't realize as they kiss on his lips. Freed was surprised by the kiss, but quickly leaned over to kiss her again, lingering for a few extra seconds.
"Thank you for watching the movie with me. I've seen it before but have been wanting to watch it again."
"I was actually surprised with how good it was." Lucy and Freed cleaned up the dishes from their dessert, and then decided they should get some sleep with how late it was. They told each other good night and both went to sleep with smiles on their faces.
