Chapter 12
A/N- I do not own Fairy Tail.
Thank you for reading! I hope you are all enjoying the story!
Thank you for the reviews! I will try to update as much as I can! :]
"What took you so long? You said you'd be back within an hour!" Erza yelled.
"Erza," I said redirecting her attention from Natsu to me. "I had class and I made Natsu stay with me so I could keep up appearances. I was still going to class like I did before you found me, and my excuse for how you and Natsu will be around is that I met him in class, he introduced me to you guys, and we all became friends."
"I see. That makes perfect sense. You're off the hook, Natsu." I could hear him let out the breath that he had been holding since we had walked in the house.
"We never got a chance to ask you, how was your time at the amusement park?" Lucy asked wiggling her eyebrows. I mentally rolled my eyes. I knew the questions were going to come sooner or later.
"Like I told you guys when we were there, you missed out. Natsu and I had a great time." I said not giving them any clues as to what happened besides the obvious riding the rides and eating food. I set my stuff down, gave Erza her cake, and sat down on the side of the coffee table that was facing the couch and leaning my arms on it.
Gray looked at me and just smirked. 'What?' I asked giving him a look that was a mix of confusion and a glare. He knew something and I wanted know what it was.
'You know what.'
'Actually no I don't. That's why I asked.'
'What's up with you and flame brain.'
'Do I have to answer? It seems like the rest of you guys already know. I know Jellal does because he was spying on us last night. I'm pretty sure you guys were spying too at the park but you kept your distance you we wouldn't smell you.'
'Blame the girls not me.'
'Yeah… I know how Erza gets.' I said smiling thinking of the times where Erza tried to set me and Gray up as kids when we first met. Everyone knew he had a crush on me but I didn't see him in that way. Then he and I got closer and our relationship turned into one that siblings would have. From what I remember, those were the only times that Mira and Erza actually got along.
I then turned to Natsu, 'Don't tell anyone about us yet. I want to make them 'suffer' a little. Even if Erza tries to kill you… Okay?'
'Sure. But no promises if Erza does try to kill me.'
'Fair enough,' I said giving a small laugh.
"What are you three talking about? You two were making face at Rocky again." Lucy said pointing to the two boys. Gray and Natsu looked at her confused. Everyone looked towards me expecting the answer. However, I was quick to make something up on the spot.
"I asked them what movie we should watch tonight. I asked this way so they wouldn't start fighting. Gray said he wanted a comedy and Natsu wants a horror movie." The boys just nodded their heads in response. That really would be something they would fight over so Lucy seemed to believe me. Score one for me and my 'story telling' skills.
"Lucy, I'm guessing chick flick for you. Erza, I'm leaning towards chick flick but I'm not 100 percent sure…" Lucy nodded her head confirming my guess and Erza gave one nod so that didn't help me because I couldn't tell if that was a yes or her contemplating her choices too.
"What do you mean you're not sure? Didn't you just look into their heads?" Natsu asked.
"Nope. Total guesses on those." I shrugged. "I guess I'm just that awesome." I said giving them all a playful smirk. With that I got four sets of eye rolls. That's a new record for me.
The rest of the night we spent watching movies and eating junk food. I helped them set up a 'camp site' in the living room before going to my room and going to sleep. They were planning on staying up for almost the whole night but I still had to go to class in the morning to keep up the appearance that I didn't know anything yet. Even though I couldn't stay the whole time with them, the time I did have with them was amazing and made me sad that I missed out on things like this with the rest of the guild the whole time I was missing.
I woke up before my alarm went off. I never usually did that. It was probably because there was this weird feeling I had that someone was watching me. I knew that Natsu and the others were downstairs so maybe one of them came to get me because they needed something. If they really needed something they would have woken me up.
I tried to go back to sleep but the feeling was still there. I turned to the door to see if anyone was there. It was opened partially but no one was there. Maybe someone did come up but changed their mind when they saw me sleeping. I just laid my head back down and tried to sleep again. However, that plan was foiled just after a few seconds.
"NATSU! GET THE HELL OFF OF ME? WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS?" My yelling was muffled because there was someone on top of me. Once again, he had jumped on to my bed and right on top of me. Now I know why my door was open. He must have been playing ninja like when he was a kid. Yes, he did this when we lived together as kids too. It still annoys the shit out of me.
I could hear him laughing at me. I couldn't turn to look at him because my head was pushed up against the pillow. I also couldn't push him off of me because I was lying on my stomach and couldn't move my arms to get to him.
He stood up and got off and I rolled over onto my side so I could see him. I glared at him and he just continued to laugh at me. He then lied down next to me facing me. He was wearing his giant grin. I fought hard to resist the temptations of smiling back because I was mad.
"Good morning." He greeted me. I then snuggled up close to him and buried my head into his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist bringing me in closer and kissed the top of my head.
"Why did you have to be such an ass this early in the morning? Hell, what time is it? I don't have to get up until 8."
"It's around 6." I growled slightly at that.
"You're lucky that I love you too much to kill you."
"Wait… What did you say?" I knew exactly what he wanted me to repeat. I mentally groaned. Why didn't I think before I spoke?
"You're lucky that I didn't kill you."
"I think you forgot something."
"No I didn't because that was a new threat." I looked up at him and smirked. He just frowned at me. "You're also lucky that I didn't throw you in the floor this time. Especially with it being so early in the morning. Are the others up?"
"No they're still asleep."
"Then why aren't you asleep?"
"Because with them asleep, I thought it would be a good time to come see you."
"You would have seen me when I got up." I yawned. "Plus, you're going to class with me today too."
"Well, this was much more fun."
"Uh-huh." I said flatly. I then closed my eyes and fell back to sleep. I was hoping he wouldn't wake me up. At this point, Gray and the others would have their suspicions confirmed it they come up and saw up together in here. But at this point I couldn't care about my plan of making them wait and 'suffer'. It was going to happen eventually.
My alarm soon went off, much to my disliking. Whoever invented these things should be murdered. Maybe even twice.
I tried roll over and turn it off but I couldn't because something was holding me back. Natsu had fallen back asleep and would not let me out of his death grip.
After about a minute of trying to break free and listening to the dumbass alarm clock, I had a brilliant idea of how to get him up. He's naturally very hot so that means that he and ice don't get along well. That's probably why he and Gray are always at each other's throats. Anyway, if I could produce a thin layer of ice over my body that was ridiculously cold, colder than the Arctic, then that should wake him up. Hopefully he won't just set my bed on fire and go back to sleep.
After a lot of focus because I was out of practice with my magic, I was able to achieve my goal. He yelped a little and rolled into the floor. I then pounded the clock because listening to that for five minutes really pissed me off. I actually broke the thing this time. I'm surprised that I hadn't done that sooner since I hate the damn thing so much.
I looked over to Natsu and I saw him glaring at me. That made me start busting out laughing.
"What the hell was that?!"
"You wouldn't get up and the alarm was pissing me off." I said while trying to stop my laughter. Once that was under control, I got up and went to get clothes to get ready for the day. Once I had things picked out, I laid them on my bed to make sure that was what I wanted to wear. I turned to Natsu and saw him blushing.
"What's up with you?" He then pointed at me. I looked down at me to make sure all my body parts were still in their correct places. They were. But it noticed that I was wearing short shorts and a t-shirt that showed part of my stomach. The whole not wearing a bra to bed thing probably didn't help either. I started laughing, I knew that he had seen Lucy in worse than what I was in because of his habit of breaking into apartment. "I'm going to change now. Give me like five minutes and you should be okay."
I came out of the bathroom ready for the day wearing jean shorts that weren't too short, a black v-neck shirt, and I was going to wear my black low top converse to finish my look of simplicity and being comfortable.
"Better?"
"Yeah."
"Why'd you start blushing then? You were in bed with me when I was wearing that."
"You had a blanket over you." He shrugged.
"Fair enough." With that I led him downstairs to get some food.
I got up an hour earlier that morning so I could make breakfast for everyone. I was getting pumped to go and make some French toast and bacon. When we got to the kitchen, I wasn't expecting to see Jellal. I looked at him shocked and confused. He was back only after a day. It's usually at least three before he gets back.
"What are you doing back so early?" I asked getting the stuff ready to make breakfast.
"Well, you were right that they wanted to talk about you now having friends. Also, they want them to not be around you anymore. Especially Natsu."
I looked over to Natsu to see him wearing an emotionless face. However, his thoughts were along the lines of killing whoever it was that Jellal talked to. I knew he didn't want to be separated for a third time, but I didn't think that he would jump to a level that included murder.
"However, I do have a plan as to how we can complete our mission and go back home. But, we should wait for the others before we go over it."
"Jellal, do you think it's time to just end everything? Or do we need to gather more info and prepare some more?" I asked. I wanted to get back to Magnolia and finish off this dark guild.
"Actually, I think it is time. They gave me some information that is going to be very useful to us. Though, I don't know if we can trust it because they basically handed it over and it was something that they should keep very well hidden if it really was true"
I nodded at this and went back to making breakfast. I wanted to know more but decided that he was right and we should wait for the others before we talk about everything. I was so ready for this to end so we could go back home. Go back to where I belong.
