Rainy Day Songs
It was a miserable evening in the town of Magnolia. There were very high winds and heavy rain outside. Weather conditions non-suitable for missions. So today, everybody was stuck indoors, ridden with boredom.
Natsu, Lucy and Happy were sitting at a table. Happy was munching quietly on a fish, while Lucy was reading a book. Both seemed rather content with just being cooped up in the guild. But Natsu was another story.
"Lucy~! I'm bored! Let's do something!" Natsu pouted. Lucy didn't answer. "Lucy!" Natsu said again. Lucy sighed "Yes, Natsu?". "I'm bored! Let's do something!" Natsu said. "What is there to do?" Lucy asked. "I dunno." Natsu simply answered. Lucy let out a breath of irritation and went back to her book.
It had been 2 weeks since the hormone incident. But all is well, and the two were closer than ever. Natsu didn't think all too much about their kiss, but Lucy thought different. Lucy thought about their kiss almost every time she thought about Natsu. And now, most times she thought about him, it was in a romantic way. Although their kiss was a big incident between them, Lucy had never experienced a kiss like that before. Sure, she's kissed a few guys before, but never like her and Natsu kissed. She had never been instantly entranced by anything like their kiss. And she wanted to experience more of that feeling. But she couldn't. Lucy knew that she shouldn't think about Natsu like that. They couldn't be a couple. Lucy was good at telling herself this, but she had a harder time convincing herself that she didn't have feelings towards the pink-haired dragon slayer. She knew, slowly but surely, she was developing feelings towards him. She hoped that if she keeps telling herself they can never be, her feelings will eventually fade.
Natsu looked at Lucy with a disappointed face. "Fine then, loser." he said as he walked of to find someone else who would entertain him. He went over to Erza who was shining one of her new swords. "Erza! Let's fight!" Natsu eagerly said. "No fighting in the guild Natsu." Erza said without even looking up at him. Natsu frowned and went on to someone else. Natsu went over to Gray who was talking with Juvia. "Gray! Let's arm wrestle!" Natsu said. "I'm talking to Juvia. Go away pinky." Gray said as he shooed him away with his hand. Natsu stuck his tongue out at him and went off to someone else. "Lisanna! I'm bored. Wanna do something!" Natsu asked. "Sure. Did you wanna play cards or something?" Lisanna said. Natsu made a bored face. "I wanna do something fun." he said. "Cards can be fun." Lisanna said. "Cards are boring." Natsu told her. "Well in case you haven't noticed, there isn't much to do on a day like today. Just relax with everybody else." she said. "But that's boring!" Natsu pouted.
Lisanna sighed. She looked over to her sister Mirajane. "Hey Onee-chan, Natsu is bored. Have any suggestions for something we can do?" Lisanna asked. Mirajane thought for a second. "How about some music?" Mirjane said. "Music?" the other two said at the same time. "Yeah. Everyone can get up on stage and take turns singing." Mirajane said. "That sounds fun, right Natsu?" Lisanna said. "Yeah!" Natsu agreed.
Mirajane walked up onto the stage with a mic and guitar. "Hey everyone!" Mirajane said, grabbing the whole guilds attention. "I thought that we could all sing some songs to liven up the place from the gloomy weather." she said. "Whoever wants to sing just come on up. But I wanna go first!" Mirajane said. Some of the guild members moved closer to the stage. Natsu went back to sit besides Lucy, who put her book down. "Happy now that you have something to entertain you?" Lucy asked with a smile. Natsu just grinned at her.
Mirajane began to sing. Her voice was sweet, soft, and beautiful. Everyone cheered once she was done. "Mira is really good isn't she?" Lucy said. "Yeah." Natsu agreed. "Thanks everyone! Now, who wants to go next?" Mirjane said. But before anyone knew it, Gajeel was already on stage with a guitar and sunglasses. "I'm next." he said. Everyone was a bit nervous to hear Gajeel sing. "Shoo bee doo bop." he said, and then he began to sing. "He's... he's awful..." Natsu said. "Well as long as he enjoys doing it. That's what counts." Lucy said.
As the night went on, most members got up to sing. Gray, who was forced to go up and sing with Juvia just finished. "Juvia is actually a pretty good singer." Lucy said. "The snow ball can't sing for crap though." Natsu said. Lucy laughed. "He tried.". Next was Levy. She sang a faster and upbeat song, which got everyone into the groove. Once she finished she got off the stage, while everyone cheered. She went over to Lucy and Natsu. "You were great Levy!" Natsu said. "Yeah, way to go Levy-chan!" Lucy added. "Thanks guys!" she blushed and said. Mirajane stepped back on stage. "Alright, who's next?" she said. "You should go up Lu-chan!" Levy said. "What? No thanks. I'm not a very good singer." Lucy said. "C'mon Luce! I never heard you sing before!" Natsu said as he nudged her with his elbow. "Ahhaha, no thanks." she said. Natsu got up from his seat. "Hey Mira! Lucy will go up!" Natsu shouted. "Um no I wont!" Lucy shouted back. "Oh come Lucy. It'll be fun!" Mirajane said. Everyone else started to tell Lucy that she should go up. "Fine!" Lucy shouted at everyone, who cheered at her. Lucy walked up on stage. "What are you gonna sing?" Mirajane asked. Lucy thought of what songs she knew. Then she told Mirajane what music to play for her to sing to. Lucy walked up to the mic. She gulped nervously. She looked back at Natsu who flashed her a big grin and two thumbs up. Then the music started, and Lucy took a deep breath and began to sing.
If I'm with you
Love and dreams can turn magical
C'mon, let's cast the magic of smiles
In a powerful world
full of problems
I yearned a bit for
The halted time
starts to move
after I met you
Why are we born and living?
I don't need a difficult answer
We'll laugh, we'll cry, honest and nice
Simple feelings
are the most precious
On those sad nights
Turn overflowing tears into strength
C'mon, let's cast the magic of smiles
No matter how strong you are
You hold uneasiness in your heart
You're not alone
I'm here
You and I are like the same
While continuing to fight with loneliness
Today, tomorrow, or one-hundred years later
We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll connect
Because of frank words I want to tell you
If I'm with you
Love and dreams can turn magical
C'mon, anywhere
We'll laugh, we'll cry, honest and nice
Simple feelings
are the most precious
On those sad nights
Turn overflowing tears into strength
C'mon, let's cast the magic of smiles
The magic of you and I
The guild was silent for a second, then they all cheered as loudly as they could. Lucy smiled down at everyone. Natsu was just staring at Lucy. He had never heard her sing until just now. Her voice was beautiful. Natsu continued to stare at Lucy. He noticed the way her gorgeous blonde hair shined in the stage light. The way the light hit her pretty face, making it glisten perfectly. Her white smile. Natsu was amazed at how beautiful she looked. "Was... was Lucy always... this pretty?" he said to himself. Lucy looked at Natsu from the stage. She smiled and waved at him. "Of course she was." Natsu thought.
Lucy ran over to Natsu. "What did you think? Your opinion matters the most to me!" Lucy said. "You were... awesome!" Natsu said. "No you were amazing. No wait. You were both!" Natsu said. Lucy smiled and gave Natsu a hug. Natsu blushed slightly and his heart started to beat faster. "What the hell?" Natsu thought.
The two stopped their hug when Erza went up on stage. Even thought she was at her own guild in front of her friends, Erza got terrible stage fright. Natsu and Lucy laughed. Lucy looked up at Natsu with a smile. "W-What?" he said. "Oh nothing." she said. Then Lucy leaned her head against Natsu's upper arm. Natsu blush deepened and his heart started beating even faster. "This feels... new." Natsu thought.
What's this? Is... is Natsu finally... realizing his feels towards Lucy? I dunno. He's feeling feels he never felt before so you tell me.
This song Lucy sang is Egao No Mahou by Magic Party which is the fifth intro to the Fairy Tail anime. It's one of my fav intros c:
