Chapter 21.
"It's boring today without Lucy" Natsu sighed with his head on the lunch table.
"How is it boring? This is how it used to be" Gray said.
"But knowing Lucy could be here, it's gotten boring" Natsu grumbled.
The people sitting at the table sighed in agreement.
"I miss Lucy!" Natsu cried.
"Why didn't you just visit her during the weekend?" Gajeel asked.
Natsu froze. "Why didn't I just visit her?" Natsu repeated.
The people sitting down at the table sighed at his stupidity.
"I'm made my decision! I'm going to see Lucy today! After school!" Natsu said lifting his head up.
"We'll go too" Erza said.
Natsu stared at her.
"What the more the merrier" she said.
Natsu cracked a smile.
Gajeel whistled at the sight of Lucy's home.
"This is where the junkie lives?" Gajeel asked.
"Yup, ever since we were children" Natsu answered.
"Why the fuck is she a junkie then?" Gajeel asked.
He would never understand rich people. Why go so low? Your rich! Smile!
"Come on" Natsu said walking to the front door.
His group of friends followed him up the walkway. Natsu reached for door bell and pushed the button once. He didn't want to seem annoyed and push it twice or three times, once should suffice. The friends waited until Ms. Supetto opened the door. She looked questionable at the group of teens at her Master's home.
"Hey! It's Ms. ... Ms. ... Ms..." Natsu stumbled.
"Ms. Supetto" Erza answered.
"Yeah! Your Ms. Supetto!" Natsu said pointing at the old maid.
Ms. Supetto raised an eye brow. She was pretty this group was here for Lucy, even though it only looked like two of them would be her friends. The pierced up guy and the one with the tattoo. Ms. Supetto wondered how they knew her though, Lucy couldn't have mentioned herself to her friends.
"Um, is there something you need?" Ms. Supetto asked.
"You don't remember us? We used to play with Lucy all the time before she moved" Natsu informed her.
Ms. Supetto was old. Memory lost came with her aging but no matter what Supetto would never forget the times when her family was truly happy.
"Your that Scarlet girl and your that little boy Lucy also talked about, what was the name, Na- nat? Natsu!" Ms. Supetto yelled.
The old group smiled at her.
"Yup that's me, Natsu Dragneel! Anyway we're here to see Lucy, thought she might be lonely because of her suspension" Natsu said.
"Suspension?" Ms. Supetto asked.
"Yeah she got suspended from school for fighting" Natsu said.
"Is that so" Ms. Supetto said darkly.
Natsu had just dug his own grave. Sometimes he just didn't know when to shut up and keep things to himself, exactly like Gajeel.
"Sorry but Mistress Lucy isn't here right now" Ms. Supetto said.
"What? Did we just miss her? When will she be back?" Natsu asked the old man.
"She hasn't been home all weekend, I don't know where she is" Ms. Supetto told them.
"Since Friday!" Natsu yelled.
What could have happened to their Lucy? Maybe she was attacked on her way home from the underground cafe. Natsu felt his heart drop. She could have been hurt and he wasn't there to save her, it could be all his fault.
"Hey Lucy?" Jellal said.
The group turned and stared at Jellal who had been smart enough to call Lucy.
"Give me that!" Natsu yelled reaching for the phone.
"Shit! Wait up" Jellal said holding the phone in the air.
Erza pulled Natsu away.
"Speaker" she told Jellal.
He nodded and clicked the speaker button on his phone. Loud music started playing from his phone.
"Hello? Helloooo?" Wendy's voice spoke.
The group could barely hear her.
"Hey Wendy! It's Natsu!" Natsu yelled.
"Natsu nii-san! Hi!" Wendy yelled over the phone.
"Hey Wendy, where's Lucy? Where are you guys right now?" Natsu asked.
"What? You want to talk to Nee-san?" Wendy yelled out.
"Sure put her on the phone" Natsu said.
He had reached for the phone from Jellal, who gave it too him knowing Lucy would rather talk to Natsu. Lucy's laughter filled the phone.
"Hello?" she giggled.
"Lucy! It's Natsu" Natsu said.
"Shit! Hey guys shut up! Turn the music off... NOW!" Lucy yelled.
The music playing in the background of Jellal's phone stopped; they could hear her perfectly now.
"Lucy" Natsu called out.
"Yes?" she asked.
"I'm at your house right now where are you?" Natsu asked.
"At my house? Why are you at my house?" Lucy asked.
"He's there for a booty call" they heard someone said in the background. They also heard someone yelling in pain right after.
"I thought I'd visit you since you couldn't come to school today" Natsu said.
"School? But today's Saturday" Lucy said.
"Um Lucy it's Monday" Natsu said.
"What? Hey Bora what's today?" Lucy said having a conversation in the background.
"WHAT! WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! WHERE THE FUCK IS WENDY?!" They heard Lucy yell.
Gajeel was the only one among the friends laughing.
"Oh good your right there, what have you been doing these past few days?" Lucy asked over the phone.
Natsu assumed she found Wendy.
"Lucy come home, we'll wait for you at your house" Natsu said.
"Hold up, sorry guys but I gotta go" Lucy said.
The sounds of people 'awing' and the swooshes of water filled the phone.
"Hey where'd you put my clothes?... fuck it I'll walk home like this, hey Natsu!" Lucy yelled.
"Walk home in what?! Lucy!" Natsu yelled.
"If you see my old maid tell her not to let you in okay? Bye" Lucy said before hanging up.
"Lucy! Lucy! LUCY!" Natsu yelled gripping the phone.
Jellal grabbed it from him, saving his poor phone from Natsu's clutches. Ms. Supetto, hearing the whole situation, sighed and held the door open wide.
"Come in, I'll make some tea" she said.
"Didn't you hear her though?" Lisanna asked.
"She never listens to me so why should I listen to her? Come in" the old maid said.
The group walked in Lucy's home and followed Ms. Supetto into the kitchen. They each grabbed a seat and sat down while Ms. Supetto made tea.
"So tell me is Lucy friends with all of you? No offence but you don't look like the type of people she would be friends with" Ms. Supetto said.
"We thought so too" Lisanna said.
"Yeah were friends, well except for me, I'm her boyfriend" Natsu said.
Ms. Supetto dropped the pot of water she held on the floor and let out a fit of giggles.
"Oh no" she said after her laughter then refilled the pot.
"I'm terribly sorry but boyfriend?" Ms. Supetto asked.
"Why doesn't anyone believe me?" Natsu cried out.
"It's not you, it's Lucy. Wow I guess her affection of you in childhood grew with her" Supetto mumbled placing a towel on the floor over her water spill.
Ms. Supetto cleaned up her mess and served Lucy's so called 'friends' tea. Strangely, each of them had a craving for coffee but still they accepted the tea gladly.
"So Lucy, how does she act at-" Ms. Supetto was interrupted by the loud pounding at the door.
"That would be the Mistress" she mumbled walking to open the door.
Natsu and his friends watched her walked away. A few seconds later they heard the pounding stop.
"MS. SUPETTO! HEY! I LOST MY KEYS!" Lucy yelled giggling.
"I'm right in front of you Mistress Lucy" Supetto said letting her walk in.
"YEAH I KNOW!" Lucy yelled again laughing.
She walked into the house and made her way to the kitchen.
"Mistress Lucy I advise you cover up we have company" Ms. Supetto said walking after her.
Too late Lucy walked into the kitchen and froze looking at the people in it. Her friends froze looking at Lucy. She was in nothing but a bikini, and she was carrying little Wendy on her back. She was wet, drops of water was still falling down her hair, and they were pretty sure she was drunk, noticing her cheeks was bright red.
"Shit! I thought I told you to lock them out" Lucy wined dropping the kid squirming on her back.
Wendy ran up to her Nii-san and his friends. Natsu was still shocked from seeing what Lucy was wearing.
"Let's talk about that suspension shall we?" Ms. Supetto said glaring at the Mistress.
"Suspension? What suspension?" Lucy asked playing it cool.
By the look her old maid was giving her, it wasn't working.
"I'm going to kill you Gajeel" Lucy yelled.
"What?! It was your boyfriend who squealed!" Gajeel yelled.
That brought Natsu back into reality. He lifted up Wendy and hid behind her.
"You are grounded! GROUNDED! Until your suspension is over!" Ms. Supetto said.
"Yeah, yeah, why don't you make yourself useful and get me a towel" Lucy said shrugging her threat off.
She walked passed the table her friends were sitting at and straight towards the refrigerator; she opened the door and pulled out a beer can before closing it. Lucy opened it, took a sip, then joined her friends at the table. Ms. Supetto walked over to Lucy and snatched the beer can out of her hand before leaving the room to get clothes for her Mistress.
"Old hag, Wendy pass me a bottle" Lucy told the kid.
Wendy grabbed the small happy juice out of her bag in passed it to Lucy, but Natsu snatched it from her.
"I think you've hand enough for one day" Natsu said.
"Try four" Lucy mumbled getting up. She grabbed another beer can from the refrigerator, but this time poured it in a cup so Ms. Supetto wouldn't know.
"What happened Lucy?" Erza asked her friend, concerned for her.
"Time just flew right on by" Lucy said shooting her hand in the air laughing.
Natsu glared at Lucy in disapproval. While she lifted her hand to take a sip, he took the cup from her.
"Stop being such a party pooper lover boy" Lucy pouted.
Natsu resisted the urge to smile. "What happened Friday Lucy?" he asked.
"Ugh... Kid when was Friday?" Lucy said placing her head on the table. She was feeling really hungry at the moment.
"The pretty lady sang for us" Wendy said cheerfully.
"Yeah, Kanon I remember. I met up with her, we went out for drinks, we met with friends and went out for more drinks, apparently a few days passed and then you called interrupting the hot tub party" Lucy frowned.
At least they knew why she was wearing a bikini now.
"Yeah, I had to leave everyone just when things got interesting; Bora was about to strip" Lucy said and laughed.
Natsu felt his blood boiling again.
"Alright so you partied and went for a swim. Lucy where are your clothes though?" Levy asked.
Lucy looked down. "I don't know, no one would tell me so I ran home like this. I bet a lot of people got a good view today" Lucy laughed again.
Natsu resisted the urge to go out and punch everyone who saw his girlfriend in a bikini in the eye. Ms. Supetto walked back in and handed her Mistress a towel, and a over-sized shirt.
"Supetto! I'm hungry" Lucy whined drying her hair with the towel.
"Then you should have been here for dinner these past three days! Make something yourself, I have chores to do" her old maid said before walking away.
"So fucking evil" Lucy said wrapping her hair with the towel.
She put on the over-sized shirt then stood up looking around her kitchen for food.
"Fuck it, come on kid were going to get waffles" Lucy said pulling out a box of crackers from the cabinet.
Wendy hopped of Natsu's lap and followed her Nee-san to the front door.
"Your just going to leave us here in your house?" Jellal asked her.
"Your going to get waffles wearing that!" Natsu yelled.
"Yup!" Lucy yelled answering both of them before shutting the door.
Natsu yelled out before walking after his girlfriend. He came back in the house a few seconds later, carrying Lucy over his shoulder.
"Go up and changed!" he said putting back down on her own two feet.
"Have you forgotten! I'm buzzed!" Lucy said emphasizing on the z's.
"I'll handle this Natsu" Juvia said getting up.
Juvia's had experience talking to buzzed people before; she walked up to Lucy and cleared her throat.
"Lucy let's go get you cleaned up alright?" Juvia told her.
"How about we ditch this stick in the mud and go get waffles together" Lucy said crunching on her crackers.
"Lucy" Natsu warned her.
Lucy sighed in defeat. "Alright Natsu you win... sike!" Lucy yelled throwing the box of crackers at Natsu.
Crackers flew in the air blinding the hot headed pinky while his girlfriend made a run for the door with the little girl. Lucy pulled a random coat off the coat rack and ran out the door laughing like a mad man, shoes forgotten about.
"Dammit! LUCY GET BACK HERE!" Natsu yelled running out after her, stepping on the crackers.
Juvia picked up a pair of Lucy's shoes before walking out the door, following her two friends.
"I feel bad leaving this mess" Levy said walking over the crackers.
"Leave it, we can come back and clean it up later. Let's hurry before we loose those two" Gajeel said dragging her along.
The rest of the gang followed after, leaving a sorry note for Ms. Supetto when she would come down and realize the mess.
"Mmmmnnn this is better than crack" Lucy moaned stuffing her mouth with waffles.
She was feeling better now that she had something in her belly, she was aware of what was happening now. Natsu had chased her all the way to the breakfast diner with their friends shortly behind. Natsu felt better too now that Lucy put on her over-sized coat, covering everything, and thankful for Juvia for bringing her shoes. Lucy was on her fourth plate of waffles and they just kept coming.
"Nakima! More waffles!" Lucy yelled out finishing her plate.
Nakima walked to Lucy's table with a smile on her face.
"Silly Lucy, if you eat too much your going to end up fat like a sumo wrestler" Nakima said teasing her old friend.
"Like your boyfriend?" Lucy mumbled, mouth full of waffles.
Nakima smacked Lucy on her head making Lucy choke. She coughed before swallowing and letting out a sigh in relief. Nakima stuck her tongue out at Lucy before walking away.
"You almost killed me!" Lucy yelled out before reaching for her class of water.
"Is there a place where you don't know someone?" Gajeel asked in amazement.
"I don't know. People usually are the ones who know me, not the other way around" Lucy said.
"MORE ICE CREAM!" Wendy yelled jumping up and down.
Lucy stared at the girl and her little sugar rush.
"I think you had enough ice cream, why don't you run around the block a couple times" Lucy suggested.
Wendy was about to run out the dinner, but Erza grabbed her before she could.
"That's not good supervising Lucy" Erza scolded her.
"What she has a phone, money and knows where we live" Lucy said before pushing the plate away from her.
"I'm full" she sighed leaning back in her chair.
"5 plates of waffles, 2 sides of fries, 3 cups of orange juice, 2 cups of water, and a bowl of ice cream" Gray said shaking his head.
"THAT SHE STOLE!" Wendy cried out.
Natsu's group had finished eating half an hour ago, they were just waiting for Lucy to finish.
"Yeah, I could go for a drink. Nakima! Check!" Lucy yelled.
Nakima walked up and started grabbing the dirty dishes.
"On the house Lucy, by the way are you going to Valor's party tonight?" Nakima asked her.
"Sure where at?" Lucy asked.
"Have you forgotten your grounded!" Natsu yelled.
Nakima ignored her friend's friend. "Il nuovo club ha aperto il ciliegio, Ha un enorme cartello al neon non si può perdere." she said switching languages.
"Sì io ci sarò. Sei sicuro che non vuoi che io a pagare? Almeno caricare gli altri" Lucy said.
"Mi prendi in giro? Vexen è ancora grato per voi averlo aiutato un po indietro, sarebbe pazzo che ti paga, i tuoi amici inclusi" Nakima said.
"Sì, sì, credo che include la punta" Lucy said wavering her hand.
"Basta avere via di qui! Prima di cambiare la mente di Vexen!" Nakima yelled before leaving.
Lucy laughed at her retreating figure. She reached over to Wendy's purse and left a $20 tip for her friend.
"Alright let's go" Lucy said standing up.
"What about the check?" Levy asked.
"Didn't you hear her? It's on the house. We need to leave quickly before she changes her mind though" Lucy laughed making her way to the door.
"Would you mind talking in a language we all understand? It get's frustrating not knowing what your talking about half the times" Natsu scowled his girlfriend.
"Why don't you try learning the language, then you wouldn't feel left out so much" Lucy said lighting a cigarette.
Natsu pulled it out of her lips before stepping on it.
"You are so lucky I'm still intoxicated or else your ass would be on the concrete" Lucy said walking passed him.
"Oh sure, don't thank your boyfriend for saving your life in the future" Natsu said sarcastically.
"Is there a reason you'll still here? I saw you, I bought you waffles, what else do you want?" she asked holding the middle finger up to the car that nearly hit her as she passed the street.
"We just wanted to visit our friend" Erza said.
"Isn't that what's school for? I have other friends to visit on my off days" Lucy said jumping on top of a ledge. She started walking along it.
Erza smiled at her response, she called them her friend.
"When will you be back?" Juvia asked.
"Marvok wanted a week but I convinced him to three days, see you all Wednesday Lucy smiled before hopping over a fence.
"Make sure Wendy get's home safely Natsu, bye bye" she called out.
"LUCY!" Natsu yelled trying to jump the fence too.
He felt someone tug on his leg though. Natsu fell back down and stared at Wendy.
"Take me home Nii-san" Wendy told him.
Natsu sighed, he gave up.
"Alright, see you guys tomorrow" he said before walking hand and hand with Wendy.
"Well today was an interesting day" Gajeel said.
"You could say that again" Jellal said.
"Well today was an interesting day" Gajeel repeated.
Jellal stared at the man before punching him.
The pounding wouldn't stop. It just came over and over and over again. Natsu opened his eyes and checked his clock, it was 5 am in the morning. He had two more hours before he had to wake up, who was at his house so early. Natsu pulled the blankets with him as he stood up and walked downstairs. He opened the doors and yawned.
"Who is it?" he asked.
Lucy giggled at the sight of him. Natsu in his red boxers, wearing a tank top, his bed hair, all topped off with his blanket wrapped around him. Natsu's eyes widened hearing his girlfriends familiar laughter.
"Got kicked out, thought we might come for a visit?" Lucy said.
Natsu covered himself with his blanket and made way for his girlfriend and little sister. Lucy carried Wendy's sleeping for to Natsu's love seat and laid her down before she jumped onto his couch.
"Wake me up before you go to school" Lucy said resting her head on the throw pillow.
Natsu closed his door and walked over to Lucy's sleeping form throwing his blanket over her. He went into his storage closet and grabbed a blanket for Wendy and covered her with it before he walked back up stairs and went back to sleep on his own bed. Lucy smiled and wrapped Natsu's blanket around her, inhaling his scent as she drifted to sleep.
Two hours later Natsu woke up and took his shower, thinking that Lucy coming over was just a dream. He was sadly mistaken when he walked downstairs, all dressed for school, and saw the two girls sleeping in his living room. He walked up to Lucy with and smiled looking at her sleeping form. She looked cute enough to kiss Natsu thought before an idea popped into his head. Natsu leaned over the couch, down to Lucy and pressed his lips against hers. He leaned back up a few seconds later, not getting a response from her.
"I could consider that rape" Lucy said.
"Rape? For what kissing my girlfriend good morning?" Natsu asked in a playful tone.
Lucy opened her eyes. "For kissing an innocent girl in her sleep, who knows what else you could have done" Lucy said.
Natsu's smiled only grew wider.
"Don't you have school to go too" Lucy said bringing the blankets over her head.
"Why go to school when I can stare at you all day?" Natsu smirked.
"Your bothering me, leave" Lucy said.
Natsu laughed. "There's food in the frig, just in case you decide to stay while I'm gone" Natsu said before leaning back up and grabbing her bag.
"Where else would the food be?" Lucy mumbled.
Natsu laughed again, "aren't you going to wish me a good day at school?" Natsu asked.
Lucy held up her middle finger at him.
"I remember you doing that exact same thing before we had our first kiss" Natsu said then sighed.
"Ah the memories" he said.
Lucy leaned up and threw a pillow at him. Natsu caught it and threw it back at her laughing.
"Bye Lucy" he said exiting his home.
Lucy sighed before placing the pillow back under her head and laying down. Why had she come here in the first place? Lucy didn't get kicked out, she actually went back in for Wendy then made her way to Natsu's home. What was the matter with the girl? Lucy decided to sleep on it.
Translations.
The new club he opened on Cherry, it has a huge neon sign, you can't miss it.
Yes I'll be there. You sure you don't want me to pay? At least charge the others.
Are you kidding me? Vexen is still grateful for you helping him a while back, he would be mad it I charged you, your friends included.
Yes, yes, I guess that includes your tip.
Just get out of here! Before I change Vexen's mind!
