"This...is...a garage?" Lucy says stopping at the entrance
"Yeah, not mine though" He keeps walking inside
Yes, she ended up following the location he send her because it was close to the race Sting was taking her
But she didn't expect a garage...
"Where did he go?" She walks lost between cars that were shiny new, dismantled skeleton cars
If she had like a little knowledge about these cars maybe this study session would be fun
"Oi heartfilia! Come here" he shouts from a corner
Lucy follows the voice, see him set up with a table big enough and food with drinks
"Do you own this place?"
"Hmm, you could say that..." he slurps on his mint choco shake
"Then let's finish this...and then eat" she takes his drink away placing her bag on the table
And Natsu did what he said, he helped her and worked for a time longer than she thought
"I was wrong about you"
"What did you think? I won't help?" he says slowly typing away on his laptop
"Sorry" Lucy says looking up from her screen to his
"Make up for it"
She tilts her head, the essay on her screen completely edited, ready for natsu's part to join
She didn't want to, she didn't have too but the charming boy had her under some spell and she let out in an uninterested tone
"How? What do you want-?"
"The tour around the campus"
Lucy smiles as she was cut off mid sentence after hearing his answer, she continues
"...me to do for you? Anything I can do"
And natsu loses all his composure he had, sucking in his lips
"But a tour around the campus is what you asked"

"This match is a regular but...it's my favourite racer" Sting says
"I would love it either way Sting, thanks for getting me here"
"There is a lot to go...I got a buddy to come to these now"
Lucy smiles, turning to the race track as the cars line up next to each other
Each of them screaming their aura as the drivers stand next to them
The mic announces the start of the first match and sting shouts in joy
"Oh! It's the red car from the other day"
"Yeah, Salamander...he is the youngest youngest of the Fairies, my idol" Sting gushes
"Really? Didn't I scream...on him?" Lucy looks at him
"If you didn't...I won't know it was him" Sting says "He disappeared for a years but came back...with Fireball as his new charm"
The driver of the said car was looking right at the blonde girl who stood out from most of the males surrounding
"Why is she alone?"
"Who? Who are you looking at?"
Natsu jumps in his seat, hearing laxus speak from his open window
"Lax-laxus...no one"
"Ah, she is pretty" he replies seeing the girl "your crush?"
"No, I don't do crushes"
"Ohhh...love then?" He wiggles his brows
"I don't know...we are partners for a project"
"I won't complain if you choose her but..." he trails off looking back at her
And natsu squints his eyes, tongue poking his cheeks seeing the scene
Lucy was cupping Sting's cheeks while he does to her laughing loud, people around them smiling as well looking at the pair
"see that you don't get hurt-HEY IM NOT DONE"
Natsu reves, driving to the starting line shifting the attention of everyone
"Natsu...don't damage the car!" Gray shouts over the comms
"I'll finish the match fast, so you can fix it faster"
.

"How did the date with Mina go?"
"Does...walking her till her door. Count as-"
Levy and Lucy squeal holding each other "omo omo omo"
Chan laughs, covering both of his red ears "Stop it, she might be nearby"
"But our chan is getting a girl" Lucy stands before him, stopping their walk towards lockers
"And it's time you got one too" he pinches her nose
"She already has one" levy opens her locker "Dragneel and she had a date too"
"It was a study session"
"You went out with a boy? Alone?" Chan gasps
"I went out with Sting after that!" Lucy matches his pitch
"Sting doesn't count" chan shakes his head
"Ouch?" Sting says as dramatic as he can be
"You just said...I need to get a boy and you reject the idea of actually going out?"
"Yes and yes, miss" he flicks her forehead
"Ah! Stop that. It's annoying!" She rubs it, chan laughs with levy and Sting
"Exactly, stop it...it's super annoying" a new irritated voice speaks, the 4 friends turning to the guy, their smiles dropping slowly
