"I didn't touch it" Lucy says standing behind natsu
"Fine but Are you okay?" He turns to her as she's taken aback by the question
"Yeah...I'm fine" swallowing the lump of caught in her throat
"Do you wanna leave this place for a while?"
"That would be nice" she nods her head taking her eyes away from the big white box covered with writings
Can you see how much I like you?
with blood and what was inside? She was too disturbed to even think
Looking and smelling blood wasn't new to her but somehow...it felt disturbing
"Can you guys like check everything, Gray will be here in 10 minutes. I'll take her out" Natsu says to 2 of his colleagues.
Hearing her shaking voice when he recieved the call, he just drove his car around forgetting the company he had
Walking to a nearby store, he was grabbing some sweet drinks
"I think I need the one ones here" she points at a smaller fridge
"Do you wanna become paranoid the whole night?"
"But I wanna kind-of want to forget it too. I can't shake off the feeling"
Natsu and Lucy just looks at each other, not budging from their respective freezers
"Only one" Natsu says as Lucy glees opening the door
Sitting outside on the empty tables, natsu looks at the girl and her huge parka drinking the alcohol
"A little better?"
"More than that...these toxins are such good solution to feelings" she smooches the can
"Do you drink?"
"You can't even imagine" he leans on his palm resting on the table
"I've been meaning to ask natsu" Lucy sits straight looking at a calm natsu "Do I like you?"
Natsu can hear her heartbeat rising, his lips curl little "how should I answer that?"
"You rushed home, natsu. And I didn't even tell you anything"
"We have rogues in the city"
"You are not gonna give me the answer"
"Depends on how hard you try" he smirks at her now
"Then let's bet on who gives in first"
"And the winner?"
"A wish for anything" she stands up crushing her can
Natsu's lips stretch across his face now, his cheeks rising which was the only thing Lucy could see as she stands before him
"Anything, you said" he lifts his head, smile falling to a smirk
And maybe for a second, she saw something switch in his eye
"You got a stalker ma'am" the officer says to lucy who was walking ahead of natsu
"St-stalker?" Lucy stutters at the word
"Its filled with your photos and mayb--"
The box he was holding catches Fire "Natsu!" Lucy shrieks looking at the guy who's hands were inside his bomber jacket
"Bastard took how many?" He says
"Hospital mostly, just one or two outside and inside"
"An easy catch" he says as the officers go to his car "and you...where is the watch i gave you?"
"Ah...that...it's" she mumbles
"Did you lose it?"
"I have it in my bag! I didn't lose it"
"Wear IT! You are attracting trouble like a moth to lights"
"Fine, fine...I'll wear it. Leave now" Lucy walks to the door, turning to look at him
He Shoo her inside "Get in...Go"
And when she did close the door, she met with hungry 2 hyenas
••••••
"Lucy! Are you ready yet?" Levy shouts standing at the foot of the stairs
"Erza is here!!" Juvia adds closing the curtains of the living room
Followed a loud slam of the door, lucy runs on her bare feet until the stairs "I swear I will kill Jay for taking me shopping last minute"
"Why..? You look hot and this is like way better than the dress you chose" levy says adjusting Lucy's dress as she wears her stilettos
"What? You seriously gonna side with him?"
"We got no time to talk...just come" juvia drags them
It was definitely not a party, it was a official event and Lucy was half glad that they all wore long coats
"This is only for the Media, the wild ride starts after this" Erza says as they sit at a round table
"And we could've just join that" Lucy says hands wrapped around her body
"Hahahaha...I didn't think you guys would dressup" she says looking at Juvia and lucy
"Right?? Oh you...two" levy points them
"Don't worry levy, you will become of them soon" Erza says
They have a silent laugh as the official meeting finishes, the old and high leaving the venue
"Right, everyone can pass through that door with you tags okay? With your wrist tags!" Speakers ring with a ruff voice
"Hands out" erza says as they shows her in an instant
She clicks a white band on all the three hands "They won't come off without me, so don't worry about going in and out of the party"
