Fairy Avenue
Summary: Lucy has amnesia; she has no memory since she was ten years old. Her life was simple though. She was a simple waitress in a run-down restaurant but everything changed when she was hired as a personal maid of the four handsome boys, who were all members of the newest and up-rising boy band called Fairy Avenue from Vermillion Entertainment.

ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
Igneel and Lucy entered the rented house again but both halted when they saw Natsu leaning against the wall near the door that leads to the garden, his arms were folded together in front of his chest. The drummer's face was dark as if he was irritated by something or someone; though his eyes were hidden behind his bangs so neither Igneel nor Lucy could tell which one.
Lucy instantly felt that Natsu was upset, because he was clenching his jaw so hard that it looked painful. The maid immediately felt guilty when she thought that Natsu might overheard them talking about his accident. It was one thing that the Fairy Avenue members hated about personal maids; that's why they detest having one, maids who noisily snooped around about their private lives. Even though she had good intentions and wouldn't leak whatever Igneel said to her; she still felt she just betrayed their trusts, especially Natsu's.
"N-Natsu-sama... Ano sa... We were just—"
Lucy gasped and froze in fear when Natsu dragged his sharp and cold eyes at her and to his father. She tried to speak but the fear seemed to paralyse her vocal chords so no voice came out from her.
"Ahh, Natsu!" Igneel enthusiastically said, ignoring his son's scowl. "I wanted to show you something! Come with me in the garage."
Igneel grabbed Natsu's shoulder but the latter immediately grabbed his father's hand; his unfaltering glare focused on his father. "Why the garage?" Natsu said darkly.
Lucy remained quiet but she was nervously observing the conversation between Igneel and Natsu.
Igneel chuckled happily and winked. "If you really wanted a spoiler, then here's a hint: mechanical horsey." Igneel said and grinned.
Contrary to Igneel's expecting reaction (but honestly Lucy was expecting this reaction from Natsu anyway) Natsu's face darkened.
"Speechless because of happiness, ne? I knew you would like my surprise. Hah! Wait till I tell your mother, she was panicking and babbling that you wouldn't like my surprise, she said 'Natsu won't like it if you bring this and that, blah, blah'." Igneel said, trying to imitate a girl's voice while waving his hand around.
Mechanical horsey... His motorbike... Natsu's pupils constricted in anger. The race... Those taunting smiles and... The unbearable pain. Natsu clenched his jaw; Lucy could literally hear Natsu grinding his teeth in rage, and her fear escalated because of that. Igneel continued to speak; oblivious to Natsu's increasing anger.
"I-Igneel-san..."
Igneel patted Natsu on his shoulders after his monologue. "Let's go and practice racing once more, Natsu!"
"Shut up." Natsu whispered stiffly.
"Hm?"
"I said shut up!" Natsu bellowed making Lucy flinch and his father freeze in shock. "I don't want to see that stupid bike; I'm never racing again!"
Igneel was about to reprimand his son for shouting when Natsu immediately turned his heels and run away.
Lucy lifted her hand to the image of Natsu's retreating back. "Natsu-sama." Her worries for Natsu's wellbeing overcame her fear, so Lucy ran off after Natsu.
Igneel watched his son's back with a sad expression.
ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
Lucy lost track of Natsu when the latter took a sudden turn. She searched every corner of the rented house before deciding to try and look outside. Lucy ended up in the garage that housed three of Vermillion Entertainment's expensive limousines.
Lucy doubted that Natsu was inside a garage because of his reaction a while ago. She was about to turn around and search for the other part of the house when she saw the door that lead inside the garage was slightly ajar. The blonde maid frowned and she slowly strode towards the door. She poked her head inside, slightly adjusting her eyes from the dim lighted garage.
When she dragged her eyes to the right part of the large garage; she saw the familiar figure of Natsu. He was standing and staring intently at the something hidden underneath a white cloth. Lucy stepped inside the garage; she noticed that under the cloth was Natsu's motorbike that Igneel mentioned a while ago. The motorbike's front wheel was peeking from the cloth.
Lucy noticed Natsu's trembling shoulders as he was fiercely looking at his motorbike though his expression was mixed with a harsh glare and a soft, longing look.
'Natsu-sama...'
She gasped in shock when Natsu started kicking his motorbike.
"Chikushou! Chikushou!" He screamed as he repeatedly kicked the motorbike until the two-wheel vehicle fell down sideways.
"Natsu-sama stop it!" Lucy cried while she tried to pull Natsu away from his motorbike. When Natsu was three feet away from the bike, Lucy blocked her petite body between her pink headed young Master and the motorbike. With tears forming in her eyes, Lucy exclaimed "How could you do this to your bike? Isn't it precious to you?"
"Shut up! I owned that piece of shit and you can't stop me if I want to destroy it by kicking it! And you don't know anything about me and how I feel so shut the fuck up!" Natsu thundered, his hands clenched into tight balls of fists.
Lucy stared at him, hurt by his words; but she refused to let the tears pour down her eyes and brushed them away hastily. Realizing that he just shouted at the blonde maid, Natsu twitched and quickly averted his eyes, guilt plastered on his face.
"I may not know you just like what you have said. But by simply looking into your eyes I already know that you miss racing and even though you forcefully shun away anything that has connections to it, still deep down inside you still want to compete, you still want to race."
"I saw it Natsu-sama and you can't deny it. When I saw you looking at you motor bike, your eyes were screaming that you wanted to race again but you're just afraid to—"
"Urusai! I'm not afraid!" Natsu exclaimed, cutting Lucy off
"Yes you are!" She yelled back "You are afraid and there's nothing wrong with admitting it! Everyone has their own fears! I understand that you're afraid to remember that frightful accident, those people mocking you even though you were hurt!"
"But why can't you just forget all about those people?" She continued "Can't you just for once forget about your fear and try to remember the only reason why you started racing in the first place?"
The reason why he started racing? The fitting image of him happily riding his first motorbike. The first time he won against his father when they raced together. The first time he competed in an official race and eventually won the first prize. He remembered the exciting feelings whenever he was riding his motorbike. That exhilarating rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins whenever he raced and won every competition.
But then those thrilling emotions abruptly changed into an immeasurable fear when his happy memories switched into dreaded ones. He remembered the day of his last race. Someone had sabotaged his motorbike's break, resulting for him to get in an accident that nearly took his life. He remembered lying on the ground, pain shooting every corner of his body. One by one there were silhouettes of people hovering up at him as he groaned in pain. He was calling for help but they only gave her a ridiculing smirk and degrading remarks. He had felt disappointed with himself and discouraged.
"Weak."
Natsu clenched his fists as he felt the hatred the awful memories that he buried deep within his heart slowing rising up inside of him. "Stop messing around. I don't want to race ever again." He coldly said and left.
Lucy followed Natsu with depressed expression.
ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
Lucy sat down on the stairs that lead to the covered porch later that night. She sadly dragged her eyes up at the dark sky where the stars were twinkling. After the heated talk between her and Natsu, the latter locked himself inside his room and did not show up, even at their dinner.
'Maybe I shouldn't push Natsu-sama if he doesn't want to race; maybe I should just accept it.' Lucy thought, she hanged her head, depressed.
"Please don't give up on Natsu."
Lucy twisted her neck to her side and saw Vermillion Entertainment's CEO, Master Makarov, standing a few feet away from the blonde maid.
"Don't give up on Natsu, Lucy." Master Makarov repeated.
Lucy sighed. "But I don't want to force him to do something he doesn't want to do."
Master Makarov settled himself next to the young maid. "Those boys," he started with joyless expression as he stared at the sky filled with sparkling stars above them. "Their pasts were so painful for them that caused them not to trust others anymore. They have become frighteningly distrustful because of what happened before and it pains me to see them grow up having such a contemptuous behavior towards other people."
"As their guardian, no... biologically or not, as their father, I wanted to open their hearts again but no matter what I did or said, no matter how much I showered them with love and affection, I just couldn't reach their hearts." Makarov pulled his eyes back to Lucy. "But you, Lucy, you're slowly drawing their hearts out again, you're able to make them interact with others. I can clearly see that on Natsu."
"Before, Natsu didn't want anyone touching or playing with Happy, but I'm surprised to see he let you hug his cat. If you're able to make him race again, I can feel that we're able to break through the shell that Natsu barricaded around himself. We'll be able to make him find his will to compete again."
"I know that I'm giving you a very hard task. But I understand Igneel's feelings; I want to see my son genuinely smiling again while he does something that makes him unremarkably happy... and to him, that is racing."
Lucy stared at Makarov with disbelief at first before saying, "I wonder if I could really do that." she said with uncertain tone.
ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
Lucy continued to approach the drummer, trying to make him changed his decision. Natsu, on the contrary, continued to avoid Lucy, giving her the cold shoulder every time she tried to talk to him, that made the blonde maid even more depressed and discouraged.
Inside the studio at the Onibus branch of Vermillion Entertainment, the Fairy Avenue boy band was rehearsing their latest single. Gray sang the first line after their director/song writer gave them their signal to start.
I dreamed I was missing you were so scared but no one would listen cause no one else cares. After my dreaming I woke with this fear. What am I leaving when I'm done here? So if you're asking me, I want you to know.
Loke sang the chorus.
When my time comes forget the wrong that I've done. Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. And don't resent me and when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest.
It was Natsu's turn; his usual enthusiast playing of drums changed into indifference and depressed playing.
Don't be afraid I've taken my beating, I've shed but I'm me. I'm strong on the surface not all the way through. I've never been perfect but neither have you. So if you're—
"Stop."
Loke, Gajeel and Natsu instantly ceased playing each of their instruments and tugged their eyes at their leader.
"What's wrong?" Natsu asked.
Gray frowned. "I should be asking you that. You're singing the line wrong." he answered with the hint of irritation in his tone of voice and facial expression.
Loke and Gajeel were both expecting Natsu to retort back but silence followed before he replied an unexpected, "I'm sorry."
Loke dropped his jaw in disbelief while Gajeel blinked his eyes, mimicking Loke's expression.
"Did I hear that right?" Loke said. "Did Natsu just apologize? Or am I just hearing things?"
"That's all for today, I think. We'll continue tomorrow." Erza said as she entered the recording studio and eyed understandingly the quiet Natsu.
The three other FA members eyed Erza, silently asking the reason behind Natsu's unusual gloomy aura. Erza shook her head at the three boys.
"Let's go back to the house."
ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
After their arrival in their rented house, the pink haired drummer found himself inside the garage again; he was standing in front of his motorbike and depressingly staring at it. Natsu remembered that he had left the bike lying on the ground after kicking it repeatedly in annoyance a few days ago. The cloth, as he remembered, was left askew and was filled with marks of his sandals and some part of the motorbike was peeking out from the white fabric. But now, the bike was standing on the same spot as before and it was covered with newly washed cloth.
Natsu hesitantly pulled the cloth off and froze when he noticed that the bike was sparkling clean, as if it had been washed daily.
"Ne, Lucy, I've noticed recently you're always eating your lunch late these past few days. What's wrong?"
Natsu remembered overhearing Erza asking Lucy while the two ladies were inside the kitchen. Since he had skipped lunch again, his stomach had growled in hunger constantly. Having assumed that the kitchen was bare without any servants, Natsu had wondered towards the kitchen but he had halted when he heard Erza's voice inside.
He heard Lucy chuckling sheepishly. "He he... Sorry, sorry... I'm just busy doing something."
By something, does that mean Lucy kept cleaning his motorbike and absently skipping her lunch? His heart constricted in remorse whilst the memory of the day he shouted at Lucy flashed back into his mind.
Natsu stepped closer to his bike, the tips of his fingers travelled through the seat of his motor. How nostalgic. He unconsciously tugged the corner of his lips when he remembered the way his father cried and laughed at the same time when he had won his first ever race. His father surely exaggerated everything.
He was in the middle of reminiscing his past when suddenly Erza appeared beside him, comically startling the pink haired boy.
"Lucy was right. I can see the excitement in your eyes and how you longingly stare at your bike. You still want to race again; I've known you since you were ten years old and I can tell when you're lying or not, so there's no use denying it. Stop being a coward, that's not the Natsu I know." Erza said and walked away, leaving Natsu staring at his bike with a determined look. The red haired lady smirked in triumph.
ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
Lucy stood in front of the Onibus where the Grand Prix Tournament would be held. She had asked Master Makarov if she could attend the said tournament; the elderly man gave his approval though he offered Erza to accompany her, Lucy said she wanted to go alone but now she terrible regretted that she had declined the offer when her eyes met the crowd; it caused for her knees to quiver in fear. She was not really used of crowds and wished that she had brought Erza with her.
Lucy folded her arms across her chest with determined expression and nodded encouragingly. "You can do it Lucy! Keep fighting!" She said before finally entering the entrance for the audience.
Inside the stadium, Lucy was searching for an empty seat and she was repeatedly being pushed by the people who were walking back and forth from their seat. Some of the audience glared or made faces when they accidentally crashed their shoulders with Lucy, but the blonde maid would apologize immediately.
"I'm so sorry...aahh!" A man with six foot height collided with Lucy that caused her to lose her footing. She felt her body falling down side ward, Lucy closed her eyes and prepared herself from hitting the ground but instead of the ground she felt a soft and warm surface against her body.
"Careful."
Lucy turned her face upward, perplexed while she stared at her saviour's dark blue eyes. "Gray- uhmmph!"
Gray covered Lucy's lips with his hand. "Shh. Don't blew up our cover." He said.
Gray was wearing an authentic Lacoste white tee shirt with lining colors of dark green, light green and lime green across the chest and the word 'Lacoste' was written on the right side of his clothes. Gray was wearing a Tribal Gear black hooded jacket that had a detailed skull drawing on the back part; the jacket and shirt were paired with a pair of faded jeans and light green Lacoste sneakers. To conceal his familiar face from the public, the FA's leader was wearing a large pair of sunglasses.
'Our cover?' Lucy thought, then she saw behind the FA's leader were Loke, Gajeel and Erza.
Loke's clothing consisted of a pink tee shirt, fitted dark jeans and an authentic pair of Nike rubber shoes. The keyboardist was also wearing a white fedora that had a black ribbon-like lining in a cyclic manner near the hat's brim and wore a pair of black tinted Armani sunglasses to hide his handsome face.
Gajeel, on the other hand, was wearing a plain black button down shirt, a pair of low rise dark jeans with whisker-like bleached-out marks that started under the pants pockets and ended on the knee part, with a pair of expensive light brown Converse shoes.
Erza's clothing consisted of an opened button black blazer coupled with a sleeveless long-waisted white blouse, beige trousers and a pair of black stiletto heels. Her red hair was tied in a loose bun with her curled bangs framing her face.
"W-what are you guys doing here?" Lucy asked.
Gajeel harrumphed as he twisted his arms in front of his chest. "It's not as if we're here to cheer for Natsu."
"We're also here to witness how much he would embarrass himself." Loke added, making Lucy sweat drop.
Erza smacked Loke and Gajeel on their heads. "Hypocrites." She growled. "That's not what you said before going here, dumbasses."
"Oh! You guys are here too?" A familiar overly excited voice interrupted them. Expectedly, Igneel was standing near them. "You're here to cheer for my son too, right? Haha! As expected of his friends!"
"We told you we're not here to—"
"Oh! Lucy-chan you're here as well!" Igneel repeatedly patted Lucy on her shoulders. "It's great that you're here as Natsu's girlfriend though!"
Lucy's face turned bright red. "I told you I'm not Natsu-sama's girlfriend." She said, clearly flustered.
"Well then let's go and have a seat! There's still empty seat next to us." Igneel said, dragging Lucy towards their seats.
Two bleachers near the field were where Grandine was sitting with her daughter Wendy next to her. Igneel greeted his wife and nuzzled his daughter as the three other members of FA, Erza and Lucy took the empty spaces just above the Dragoneel family. Wendy greeted the others with a blushing face but she stuttered when she greeted Gray, her face reddened even worse and she looked like she's coming close to fainting, which gained sweat drops and amused chuckles from Lucy and the others.
The race was about to start and Lucy was looking around among the official racers anxiously. Five more minutes and the race would start but Natsu was still nowhere to be found. Igneel and Grandine were emitting the same anxious aura while apprehensively looking around the field as well, silently hoping that their first born son would appear among the racers; Wendy, Erza and the three boys took noticed their increasing anxiety.
Erza tsked in annoyance, seeing Lucy's sad expression in her periphery. "The idiot is still not showing up." she said as she crossed her arms together.
"He just wasted Lucy-chan's beautiful speech." Loke added, crossing his legs and frowning as well, he gave a quick glance at Lucy.
Gajeel rolled his eyes. "For all we know, that salamander freak chickened out." He said with his matter-of-fact tone earning a death glare from Erza. He twitched and rolled his eyes again.
"He will come..." Lucy murmured but still her companions heard her. "He definitely will... I believe in Natsu-sama..."
Gray's dark blue eyes flickered at the sight of Lucy's face and quickly dragged his eyes back to the field. 'Natsu...'
Two more minutes.
'Natsu-sama, are you really going quit at something that you love?' Lucy bit her lower lip, her vision was starting to blur; she tried to hide the tears by bowing her head and staring at her lap.
One more minute.
Lucy sniffed as she wiped the tears on her cheeks when she noticed the whispering of the audience.
"Ah!" Erza and Loke exclaimed in unison.
Lucy blinked her tears away and glanced at the race track. She blinked once, and then twice, while her mind was slowly processing the familiar pink haired boy standing along the four other racers, he was wearing the typical racing uniform that was in the color red with an angry red dragon character drawn on the back, the pants and the dragon's roaring face was also drawn on the helmet. He was standing next to his red motor bike and talking to the organizers of the racing event.
"It's Natsu-nii" Wendy exclaimed excitedly, pointing a finger at Natsu.
"Natsu!" Igneel shouted, he leaped off from the bleachers and waved his arms up above his head, earning some of the audience's attention, but the older male Dragoneel ignored their stifle of giggles and the rolling of their eyes because he was far too happy.
"Master?" Erza said in disbelief while staring with wide eyes at the small CEO of Vermillion Entertainment who was talking with the members of the committee of the Grand Prix tournament.
"Isn't that Natsu of Fairy Avenue ? What is he doing here?"
Fans of Fairy Avenue started whispering with each other, others were swooning over the handsome drummer and screaming Natsu's name.
"Cooool! What a discovery! I wondered why Natsu Dragoneel of Fairy Avenue looked so familiar! He's no doubt the champion five years ago, Salamander! He suddenly disappeared after his accident five years ago, this is so unexpected! Some speculated that he quit racing so no one was expecting the return of our favourite Salamander! This year's race is totally going to be exciting! This is totally cooool!" The announcer said and then followed by the roar of the audience, who were once fans of the famous Salamander.
Lucy and the others were just glad to finally see Natsu.
After the short talk with the staff, Natsu slowly glanced at them, as if he was embarrassed about something. Natsu stared straight at them one by one and when his ebony eyes locked with Lucy's teary brown eyes, he determinedly nodded and clenched his fist at her. Lucy's lips slowly formed a big smile and she nodded back, clenching her fist in front of her as well, mimicking Natsu's movement.
"Gambatte, Natsu-sama." Lucy mouthed at the salmon haired boy. Natsu grinned and nodded again.
"Geez! Don't you dare lose, stupid Salamander! I've wasted my day off just for you so you better win that race!" Gajeel teased but his ebony eyes were also sparkling with happiness.
Natsu's eyebrow twitched and he gave Gajeel an annoyed expression. "Teme! Who told you to come anyway?" He shouted back.
"Right, right, you better win the race, baka pinky." Loke playfully said.
"Shut up!" Natsu countered and gave the three boys a sullen look before looking back at his family.
"Gambatte, Natsu-nii!"
"Gambatte, Natsu, fighting!"
"Win that race my useless son!"
All of them started to scream their cheers for Natsu, the latter's smile widened and grinned back to them.
"I'll definitely win!" He yelled back but then he twitched and snapped his eyes at his co-racers, who just scoffed at him.
"Tch, just because you're the champion five years ago that doesn't mean you'll be the champion this year too." Said one of the racers.
Natsu glared at him.
"That's right; don't be so cocky just because you have your cheering squad." Said the other.
Lucy frowned at seeing Natsu's angry expression, he was obviously pissed off at those two racers. 'Natsu-sama, calm down.'She whispered inwardly.
"Oi, oi, I can feel the tension between those three." Gajeel said, also noticing the frown on their pink haired co-member.
"They're obviously mocking Natsu-nii, those bullies." Wendy said, pouting her cheeks
"Natsu!" Lucy suddenly yelled earning the pink haired boy's attention. "Gambatte! Remember the reason why you are here!"
'That's right. I'm here for two reasons, to face my fear and to remind myself that racing makes me happy. This is my happiness!' Natsu smirked and nodded at Lucy. The blonde lady, who was glad that Natsu found his resolution to face his fear, smiled back at him.
"Kyaa! Fairy Avenue is here!" a woman pointed at Lucy and company. Gray, Gajeel and Loke twitched simultaneously when pack of fan girls started to approach them.
"Please Gray-sama let me shake your hand!"
"Loke-sama!"
"Gajeel-kun, kawaii!"
The three members tried to hide behind Igneel and Erza while the two protected the three boys from being harassed by their fan girls when couple of men in black suits and black sun glasses appeared one by one in front of Lucy and the others. The men served as a tall barricade between the FA's fans and the FA members.
"Are you okay, Loke-dono, Gajeel-dono, and Gray-dono?" Caprico asked after appearing before the three boys.
"Caprico, your timing is impeccable." Loke said as he sighed in relief.
They were temporarily safe because the bodyguards were keeping them away from their screaming fans.
When the audience heard the first signal their attention immediatly switched from the unexpected arrival of the Fairy Avenue members to the race itself, the five racers wore their helmets on and mounted their bikes. At the second signal, their bikes' engines roared. At the third and last signal, the race started.
ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
The race ended and Natsu won the fourth place; even though he didn't win the championship, happiness was still etched on the handsome drummer's face that the group had never seen on him for the past five years. Natsu was waving his bronze medal at Lucy and the others as he approached them after the tournament.
"Congratulations Natsu-nii for winning." Wendy said, hugging her older brother by the waist. Gradine kissed Natsu on the cheek and congratulated her son for winning.
Igneel, however was unable to greet his son because he was howling in happiness, his forearm pressed against his damped eyes. Natsu sweat dropped and silently handed his bronze medal to his crying father.
"Sorry for not winning the first place but next time I'll definitely win that."
For that, Igneel sobbed louder than before and pulled his son into a tight hug; they were expecting Natsu to push his father away like he usually does but this time he allowed his father to hug him and to everyone's surprise; Natsu hugged his father back. Wendy giggled in between her crying and tackled her father and older brother in a hug as well. Grandine happily watched her family with teary eyes.
"Congratulations for winning the race, Fourth Place Salamander." Gray greeted, he sardonically emphasized 'fourth place' so that it made the drummer twitch in annoyance.
Natsu glared at their band leader. "Nandato teme?"
"What a loser." Loke said, Natsu snapped his gaze at him as well.
The Dragoneel family, Erza and Lucy giggled when Natsu was trapped in a head lock, courtesy of Gajeel.
"Ha~ah, how have you've been a champion?" Said a mocking tone behind them, they all turned their head and saw three of Natsu's co-racers, the one who had won as the champion was standing in between the second and third place.
Lucy and Wendy pouted at the three racers while Gray, Loke and Gajeel furrowed their eyebrows. Natsu, surprisingly, was as calm as Erza. Gajeel stepped forward, armed with his intimidating glare, and the two racers sandwiching the champion flinched under the guitarist's intense gaze.
"Teme, just because you won the race that doesn't mean you're going to be so cocky." Gajeel growled. Wendy and Lucy were nodding vigorously in unison.
The champion was obviously intimidated as well but he remained smirking. Loke was about to say something as well but Natsu stopped him.
"Don't. Just let them be." Natsu said calmly, Loke smirked knowingly along with Gray and Gajeel. Natsu's three co members stepped aside, allowing Natsu to face the three racers.
"Actually I was not gunning for being the champion for this race. I was just here merely to face my fear and to enjoy the race." He said but then he gave a determined smirk that was showing his canine like teeth. Natsu was even cracking his knuckles, challenging the three racers. "A piece of advice, you three should enjoy that medals because for sure they will be your last because I'm determined to win the gold medal for next year's race. Better watch ne?" He added proudly and turned his back on the three intimidated and awe-struck racers.
"That's my son!" Igneel proudly said.
Although Natsu was openly picking a fight with the others, Grandine choose to let it slide…for now.
ღ(｡◕‿‿◕｡)ღ
On the night of the same day, Master Makarov decided to hold a private party. Only the staff, band members, the Dragoneel family, Lucy and the other maids were invited.
Igneel was currently madly singing with Natsu, with Natsu trying his best to snatch the microphone away from his father, who had no talent for singing. The others were laughing at Igneel's antics, when Lucy decided to take a breather outside on the balcony where she once had a chat with Igneel.
Lucy settled herself on one of the steps of the stairs and stretched her arms out before she inhaled the fresh chilly wind of Onibus City . With Natsu's new found will to race again, Lucy was very happy and satisfied. She was smiling when she felt the presence of someone standing behind her. She turned her head and saw a blushing Natsu behind.
"Ano sa..." Natsu mumbled, averting his eyes in different direction while scratching the side of his neck. Natsu took the space beside Lucy. "Erhm... T-thank you... For everything…" He whispered, looking embarrassed.
"But I never did anything." Lucy said.
Natsu shook his head and stared straight into Lucy's chocolate brown eyes. "You gave me the courage to finally face my fear. You also remind me the reason why I started racing. And most importantly you believed in me even though I had my doubts about myself. So... thank you." Natsu grinned and gave the 'peace' sign to Lucy with his hand.
"Well if you still insist, 'you're very welcome, Natsu-sama."
"Please drop the -sama."
Lucy blinked in surprise and then she smiled. "Really, I can call you 'Natsu' now?"
Natsu grinned and gave her the thumbs up. "Of course."
The two young adults chuckled and eventually turned it onto a full laugh.
"Natsu and Lucy, sitting on a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Happy sang teasingly when he suddenly appeared behind Lucy and Natsu.
"You liiiiiiiiikeeeeeee her!" Erza playfully said, rolling her tongue as she teased the blushing Lucy and Natsu.
"I don't!" Natsu countered, flustered.
"I knew it!" Igneel exclaimed still holding the microphone. "You're my future daughter in law!"
"I'm not!" Lucy yelled back, incredibly embarrassed, but not even trying to hide the huge grin on her features.
