"So I just go up to her?'
"Yes" Freed's fist clenched in a sign of frustration.
"And say the line?"
"Yes." Levy's hand was flat against the table, ready to raise it to make contact with the annoying dragonslayer's face.
"Then she'll forgive me and go on a job and then a date then-"
"F***ING YES NATSU F***ING DRAGNEEL! JUST GO AWAY!" The bluenette had had it with the fire dragon slayer today, kicking him square in the shins and then proceeding to shove him towards Lucy with a heavy limp.
She had found a book called "Pick up lines for dummies" on a job and bought it as a joke. Freed borrowed it and used it on Laxus. Failed, but he gave it his best try. Then came Max, Bixlow, Cana, Mira, Macao, Romeo, Makarov, and then this pink haired idiot.
Everyone else was quick, but when Natsu came. Everything went to hell! He had spent to whole day saying phrases, some innocent some not, to both the resident geniuses. But here's the kicker.
"I CAN'T EVEN FATHOM THAT I STILL HAVE THAT TRANSLATION TO FINISH BY TOMORROW! AND NOW I HAVE AN ALL NIGHTER THANKS TO THAT FOOL!"
Freed sighed and shook his head as his friend ranted, causing some of the guild to look up and watch as the tiny woman vented for five straight minutes, sometimes switching between different languages to cover up the worst of her swearing.
"We can help she said, it'll be fun she said." the rune mage muttered.
But Natsu was on a roll with Lucy. Mostly.
"Did I ever tell you that if I were I light switch, you turn me on?"
The blonde was leaning back in her booth, confused as to Natsu's horrible attempt at flirting was even real. "Uh, Natsu?"
"Yeah Luce?"
"Are you drunk?" she asked, raising her three middle fingers. "How many fingers do you see?" The pinkette laughed as he sat down in front of his teammate. "What do you mean? I'm as sober as a nun! Whatever nuns are!"
Lucy groaned inwardly, cursing the "For Dummies" books for being a thing. There are some idiots that just won't learn.
