Levy and Lucy decide to start a bookclub. In Lucy's apartment. Unfortunately, they forget to tell a certain pinkette not to interfere.
When Levy came walking into the guild one bright morning, it was clear that something was troubling her. She was upset, that was for certain, but there was also another reason as to how her guildmates knew. Today was Thursday, a day that Levy usually spent at the local library because that was when her favourite book club was held. It might not be everyone's favourite way to spend their time, bit she loved it. So when she came trudging in three hours earlier than she usually does, their first thought was that it was probably something to do with that. Their suspicions were confirmed when Mirajane was the first one to speak up.
"Levy! Are you ok?"
The bluenette answered with a solemn ""Yes."
"Are you sure? You're back earl-"
"It's closed! They shut the library!"
"Oh. Well, that's nothing to worry about. It'll be open again t-"
"Permanently! Who does that? It's being turned into some 'fancy' restaurant." The disdain with which she spoke the sentence was clear. The others had never known that the mage could even hold so much hatred. But then again, someone stepped between Levy and her books. Obviously there would be consequences for the perpetrator.
It seemed that Mira was becoming increasingly annoyed at the constant interruptions as the smile began to drop from her face. Luckily, Lucy stepped in before the white-haired demon could do anything. The other guild members were grateful as they thought of what could happen if the woman's anger was left untamed. An involuntary shudder ran up their spines. "Levy, surely there's a different library you could go to."
She sighed, "I checked Lu. There is but all of them are too far from here." Lucy patted her friend sympathetically on the shoulder.
"You know, you could always come read over my house." And that was when she the brilliant spark if idea flash in the bluenette's eyes. Levy jumped out of her seat and gently grabbed Lucy by the arms, "Lu! I have an idea! We could start our own bookclub at your apartment."
"Wait, why my-"
"And it would give everyone else a reason to stay out of it!" There was a pause as Lucy mulled over the idea. The possibility of going just a day without someone breaking into her apartment was too godd to be true and she knew it probably wouldn't happen. But a girl could dream. She accepted anyway, although it was with a sigh, and that was how she and Levy found themselves rushing around her apartment the following week, trying to prepare it in time for their club's first meeting.
It was a struggle to get everyone to agree to not interrupt them. You would think people would at least respect their privacy a bit more (again, she could dream). Eventually, they somehow managed to convince everyone and could finally go about their business in peace. But Lucy couldn't help but think that they were forgetting something. Well whatever it was, she had a feeling they would find out shortly. A sudden knocking on her door, followed by Levy's excited squeal, snapped her out of her thoughts. She smoothes down her skirt before moving to open the door. A group of about nine people are waiting for her, smiling as she greets them. Each person, after introducing themselves to their hosts, takes a seat in the little circle that the girls had set up. They all had a brief introduction before starting. Everything went smoothly...
...Until half an hour later when a familiar figure popped through her window and one of the bookclub members screamed. Several actually threw their book at him. One threw a cup of tea. And Lucy and Levy just stood at the side, absolutely mortified as they watched Natsu fall through the window only to be met with an angry onslaught of people. He tried to ask them for help but they just pretended to ignore him until they were finally able to get the people to leave, apologising several times for all the trouble. When the door closed, their apologetic smiles immediately dropped. "NATSU!" Both Levy and Lucy screamed at him. Furious would be an understatement to describe the glare in their eyes. It caused the pinkette to cower in the corner.
It was no surprise to anyone really when Natsu walked into the guild the next day, covered in bruises and avoiding the two women for fear of making them angry. But in all honesty, it was their fault for forgetting to tell Natsu, of all people, to stay away from Lucy's apartment. The girls gave up on trying to host a bookclub after that, mainly because no one was willing to return after the incident. No one could blame them really.
