Chapter 21
NATSU'S POV
Once I finally managed to get my nausea under control I followed everyone else into the water park. Some people had already started getting in, and Takara and Lucy were standing with Erza, waiting for me to get inside.
I threw my shirt onto one of the chairs and went to grab Takara so I could throw her into the pool, but she quickly moved out of the way and tripped me, making me belly flop onto the water, my stomach and face stinging.
Bastard
I got my head back above the water, hearing her mumble. "You could at least wait until I actually take my clothes off so they don't get soaked in chlorine water."
The three of them take off the clothes that they were wearing on top of their bathing suits and I get out of the pool, shaking out my hair.
Lucy's wearing her white bikini with pink flowers, Erza had to replace her 'Legendary swimsuit' because of what had happened before, now wearing a plain black bikini, and Takara wore her new green one that she got when we went and bought Ame's presents.
TAKARA'S POV
Natsu got out of the pool and shook out his wet hair. I think I could feel my face get warm.
Is it bad that I thought it was attractive?...
Nah...
He was wearing some orange swim trunks with black flames at the ends, and after we had taken off the clothes over our swimsuits, I looked around at the different water slides and pools.
"This place is really big," I said.
"Yeah, well it used to be bigger," Erza said as she shot Natsu a glare. "If anyone asks he's never been here before."
"Why?" I ask.
"Let's just say that if the new owners actually knew what the guy who destroyed this original water park looked like, we wouldn't be here." She said as she threw her thumb in Natsu's direction.
"C'mon Takara, let's go!" Lucy says as she grabs my wrist and pulls me over to one of the pools with some cool water slides, Natsu and Happy following.
We stop at one of the bigger pools, surprisingly though, no one was here. "Natsu, I'm going to look for Carla," Happy says.
"Okay, Happy." Natsu says as he flies off in the other exceeds direction.
I look over at Lucy and smirk, she knows what I'm thinking (leaving them alone) and furrows her brows, shaking her head no.
"What are you two talking about?" Natsu asks. "You've both been acting weird all day." He mumbles the last bit.
"Nothing." I say to him as I stretch and throw my hand behind me, scratching the back of my head.
It has to happen on its own, Takara. Don't push anything, or else it won't work; they need to figure it out on their own.
