CHAPTER FIVE: FAMILIARIZING WITH THE SITUATION
Natsu's POV
I felt much better from me and Gray's talk yesterday after I had told him about my favour. We chatted for a little while and he said I can go for him if I have anything else worrying me, although he said it in the most discreet way.
My mind wandered while I was just sittin chillin in my dorm playing my PSP when I smelt something. Something goood. My mouth started to water right away. I stayed perfectly still for about 4 minutes. Then I stood up into something wet. Aww man I got dribble on the floor. So uncool. But what the heck I could smell food and I had waited long enough.
I skidded round the corner on the wooden floor and raced down to the kitchen nearly falling on my face multiple times. I was going so fast that I couldn't stop myself and smacked face first into the kitchen door. As I lay on the floor contemplating my own life and what it had come to. The door swung open to reveal 3 not so stunned faces looking at me. I was about to get up when a foot push me down. I looked up to see Gray sashaying over to the table with a victorious smirk.
"Oi! Popsicle. How dare yo-"
I was cut off by another pair of feet walking over me. This time my body made a Natsu shaped hole in the ground. This time when I looked up I saw Gajeel looking happy at what he had done.
"You looked comfortable down there Princess, I thought it could be your new home" Gajeel said in a chipper tone. I was about to launch myself over to the pair of them and clock them in the face when another pair of feet trode over me.
"Do I look like a FUCKING DOOR MAT TO YOU!. And you're heavy as fuck!". I looked to see a pissed off Lucy.
"Hmph" was Lucy's response. I stood up quickly this time although I knew no one else would come through the door. I was just dusting myself off when…
"LUCY KICK" I felt Lucy's foot hit my crown jewels. This time a fell to the floor in a lot of pain. Oh shit, oh fucking shit that hurt more than Titania grabbing my balls. I heard Gray, Gajeel and Icarus burst out laughing.
"That's what you get for calling a girl fat" Lucy said then stuffing pancakes into her mouth.
"Whhhyyy is Lucyyyy the brains of operations I THINK I CANT REPRODUCE NO MORE! What's with you women!" I moaned cover my face with my hands.
"I swear it's the boy that is meant to pick on the person they like…" Gray coly said as he winked at Lucy and I. Causing Lucy's face to gape open like a fish before a red flush dominated her cheeks. Awh she such a cutie. She searched for words for a second before narrowing her eyes at Gray and qiuping a reply.
"I don't like Natsu and I kicked you in the bollocks as well, does that mean I like you both?" Lucy pouted sticking out her big red bottom lip. Gajeel was laughing his head off while Icarus was muffling his laughs in his hands.
It was Gray's turn to be flustered as he mumbled out, "I -have - got- a girlfriend,"
"Shameeeee," Lucy winked before erupting into giggles as she sank into a chair next to Levy.
"Sooooo what's everyones cover up story to their friends/family/work." Levy inquired as she took dainty bites of the pancakes.
"Oh? I didn't tell anyone- no one cares - really- and no one really checks," I gurgled out in between my chomps of pancakes. Lucy and Levy shot me a sad smile before continuing the conversation. It wasn't a bad thing that I was alone at home. If anything that means I could do anything I wanted. NO RULES RULE!
"I just told the boys at work I was going out for a walk so they probably think I'm in prison for a bit. Or that I went someone exotic," Gajeel said lazily as he sipped his black coffee.
"Ah well-" Gray started but was interrupted by an electronic ping, then again and then another ping resounded around the room. He blushed bright red before continuing, "Well my girlfriend thinks I'm employed for extra security against Ís Draugr (myself)... But I always have to keep her updated because she worries and will probably come try and hunt me down"
Gray just tapped away a reply to his girlfriend as we all looked at Lucy for her story. I wonder what it's like to have a serious relationship?
"Ermm- Well- Um" Lucy scratched the back of her head before blurting out a sentence fast as Titania's taser bolt. "I kinda set up a fake private school that can't give away it's adress because parent's will distract the students and it's hard to keep in contact with the outside world because it says on the website that they make the best workers and careers in the nation. And my Dad believes it by me sending him an email by the end of each week."
Everyone just looked on flabbergasted with her whole plan, it could fall apart any second if you questioned it.
"Doesn't your Dad find that slightly suspicious…?" Gray asked the question we all wanted to ask. Damnit Ice Princess beating me to it.
"My Dad doesn't really spend much time with me." She quickly changed the subject back onto Levy before we could even blink. Huh Daddy Issues. "So Levy who is taking care of the Library?"
That question left the petite blue haired girl blush insanely as she stammered. "Jet and Droy are in charge…"
"Aren't those your ex's shrimp," Gajeel stated gruffly.
"Well- yes…" She looked mortified downwards, moving the leftover pancakes around her plate, "They just started working one day and didn't stop and they didn't want paying and money wasn't booming in so I guess I didn't mind the extra pair of hands…"
As if Icarus felt the conversation die he got up clearing up all the plates in his hands and started clearing away the table.
"Ohh here let me help," Lucy elegantly rose from her seat starting to grab all the used cutlery and placing them into a dishwasher.
"Thankyou Orion," Despite us all being around each other non-stop in the past FEW days Icarus and Titania still talked to us using code names even though we all used first names. It was getting on my nerves.
"So me and Titania thought about our great success as a group and wanted us to celebrate before we plan our next heist. So we found a nightclub just down the street but while we are out I want you to call everyone by their first names, accept me and Titania just poke us or whatever if you want our attention. Don't worry some of the money we stole from Bora can pay for the expenses." Icarus said as he reached up to place the cups away flicking his hair out of his eyes.
"So I was thinking, how about we go out in about 3 hours I want everyone looking presentable." He shooed us out of the door before turning to take Lucy by the arm making her stop in the kitchen. I know I shouldn't listen in to conversations that your boss and colleague are having … but it was me what can they expect. I could just about listen to the muffled voices before I felt someone's presence. I dared to look around and I saw Titania looking pissed off as she had her hands placed on her hips tapping her foot as if waiting for an explanation.
"Eavesdropping Salamander?"
"No-Oo," I gulped, "Just lookin' for a penny I dropped," I said innocently.
"Very Well, I believe you…" Titaina said but her glare contrasted it and it was one of those looks that told me she definitely didn't believe me.
Lucy's POV
I was lying in bed staring at the splotches on the ceiling, whoever painted this ceiling hasn't done it very even. It was nothing like being back at the mansion. Not that I would want to go back there. My laptop was sitting there expectantly glaring at me on the bedside cabinet. I needed to call Loke… I grumbled as I mulled over that idea in my head, I cringed he was always so forward... I had no clue how Icarus knew my informatives but there we go he had spoken to me after brunch asking me to ask him about the book 'Daybreak'. Apparently that was our next target but I wasn't allowed to tell anyone else unless the plan fell through therefore no one would start getting their hopes up about this upcoming heist.
On top of that the worries of finding nothing to wear for tonight! What does one wear to a nightclub? I have been to many balls with my Dad and his work colleagues but this was foreign ground. I'll go find Levy and ask her!
I heard some scratches at the door, Ahh must be Happy. Natsu's adorable cat always comes and keeps me company when I'm locked away, not minding the extra company I let the little blue cat in. He purred in agreement as I patted him lightly on the head as I went to sit pretzel style on the bed, picking up my cell and started to dial Loke. Just after the third ring he picked up.
"What does my Celestial Queen need?"
"Lucy…?" Loke was probably one of the only people that knew I was Orion along with my other informatives.
"Don't call me that!" I said flustered.
"What?! Lucy?" I could picture him raising his hands to feign innocence.
"NO I mean 'Celestial Queen' I told you I hated that!"
"Fine! Fine! I assumed you didn't just call me for a chat." Loke said boredly as I heard some giggles in the background.
"OH MY GOD! Do you have girls round at the moment?!" I said appalled.
"Yeah but they never compare to you Princess," He flirted.
"Sure, Sure," I scoffed.
"Don't deny it!"
"In your perverted dreams! I'll text Abbey about this" I shouted hotly, Loke was deathly quiet Well thats what the Abbey cards for..."I'll text you the details of what I want you to find ring me back later on what you find."
There was suddenly a knock on the door, scooping up Happy in one arm, holding my phone out between my shoulder and ear I opened the door, to see Natsu standing there leaning on the frame.
"Happ-" I cut him off by holding a finger up before turning back into the room and signalling Natsu to come in.
"Right I gotta go!" I said back into the phone.
"But Lucy I barely got to speak to youuuu," Loke moaned.
"I'll ring you again later." I snapped before hanging up on him.
Natsu's POV
I was hunting around for Happy when I realised where that traitorous bastard would be. Lucy's Room. I shoved my hands in my pockets as I leisurely walked towards Lucy's dorm, that when I heard her talking to someone on the phone. I decided to eavesdrop before knocking on the door again. I couldn't make anything out so I placed my ear to the wooden oak, I couldn't hear what the person was saying to her but I could hear her loud and clear.
"Sure, Sure…" She laughed into the phone. Huh I wonder who she's talking to.
"In your pervert dreams!" Her voice rang out, maybe it's a friend…? I thought weakly. What does it matter if she has a boyfriend. I pulled my head from the door and swiftly knocked hoping to regain my thoughts. Not that I can stop this tightening in my chest. Lucy answered the door with Happy in one of her arms, cradled in her chest and the phone was in between her ear and shoulder.
"Happ-" But she just cut me off before turning back into her room giving me a perfect view of her behind. Shaking that thought from my head I walked over the threshold into her room.
"Right I gotta go!" She said as she threw me a smile. Whether that was aimed at me or the person on the phone I did not know.
"I'll ring you again later." Before she hung up on him turning her attention to me, raising a eyebrow.
I was gonna ask her about who was on the phone but I have no clue what fucking possessed me to blurt out…
"Is it true what you said to Gray?"
Her eyebrows furrowed before answering.
"What that I like you both?!" She spluttered hotly.
"Nooo Luce! I mean that you said you didn't like me?!" I asked.
Lucy only looked at me before enveloping me into the biggest hug. I think my mind shut down I was frozen in place, unsure of what to do. All I could feel was Lucy.
Lucy's POV
Then next thing I knew I was hugging Natsu. He felt warm. I panicked he wasn't reacting. Shit I was still hugging him.
"Of course I like you, Idiot, you're probably my closest friend here!" I explained I was about to step out of the embrace when I felt his arms circle around me squeezing me closer to his chest. I felt my cheeks blush as I tried to hide behind my hair as I turned out the embrace, but Natsu didn't let me go.
"Hey Luce? Do you wanna be best friends?"
Natsu wanted to be my best friend? I have never had one before unless the staff count? Or my informatives? But they are more like family. I didn't think you could become someone's best friend in the matter of few days? But thinking back to the past few days Natsu always was hanging in my room or annoying me, prodding me or just in general being a pain, the past few days I don't think I have ever laughed this much. EVER. And he dropped the fuck boy act as as soon as he knew it wasn't gonna work with me and when I called it out to him/
"Luce…? You-you don't have to, it's just that I thought I made you happy. You make me happy I thought that what friends did?" Natsu seemed so unsure as I looked up at him, he was blushing madly.
Ah fuck it why not.
"Huh? Yeah sorry I was lost in thought," I giggled
Let's have some fun first.
"But there is one problem…" I deadpanned.
"Huh?! What is it? Is it us hugging?! I'm sorry!" Natsu made an attempt to move away from me but I trapped him still and whispered in his ear.
"Well actually I think I'm closer with Happy." Before erupting into laughter, tears were streaming down my face as I saw he try to recover from his shocked expression before smirking at me, and hoisting me over his shoulder and carried me squealing from the room.
"Well I'll just have to steal ya then!" Leaving poor Happy feeling dejected on my bed.
The rest of the day's seconds ticked down with Natsu chasing me round HQ, as I tried my best to hide from the pink hair fiend at this current moment at time I was squished down the side of one of the sofas which was pushed up against the living room wall. The things I do for friendship… I grumbled half-heartedly because if I wasn't doing this then I would probably be just doing school work on my laptop curled up in my room. And this was really fun. Every time Natsu found me he would just tickle me to death. I know. I know 18 and still ticklish. I was already knackered from when he found me in one of Icarus's kitchen cabinets, and legit tickled me till I could breathe no more.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are…" Natsu cackled as he entered the living room.
"Feee Fiiiii Foeeee thumb I hear the blood of an english mannnn!" I could suppress my laughter, was this what I missed in my childhood?
Suddenly a tanned arm grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and I came nose to nose with Natsu as he yanked me out from my safe sanctuary.
"NOoOOo how did you find meeee!" I giggled hiding my face with my hands.
"I can smell ya!" He sniggered.
"Don't lie," I pouted as I shoved his hands off of me.
"I can and I can prove it to ya!" He said meeting my gaze crossing his arms. Before I could stop him he leant closer and deeply inhaled his nose twitch slightly. That was adorbs- WAIT HE SMELT ME!
"LUCYYY KICK!" I shouted blushing furiously before kicking him straight in the gut.
"Luceeee whyyyyyy? Cruel I was just proving a point," He moaned as he cradled his stomach.
"It was weird," I stuttered before I and even odder thought popped into my head. What did he smell like? Fuck it. I quickly bent down to wear a groaning Natsu was and inhaled. He smelt like…. Mangos?
Natsu's eyes narrowed at me before whispering in a mock hurt tone.
"You're just as weird as me cherry blossom,"
"Cherry Blossom?!" EH why did he say that?
"Yosh, you smell like a bunch of them that grow near to where I live." He stated like it was a fact. Was that a good thing…?
"...Mangos.." I mumbled quietly as he just cocked his head at me like a puppy.
"You smell like them," I explained before straightening back up and offering him a hand up.
He took my hand and halfway up pulling him up I decided to drop him just for good measure.
"So cruel," Natsu said while lying back imitating his death bed pose closing both of his eyes. I took his distraction to check my watch, Shit look at the time!
"Natsu get the hell up we need to get ready for tonight or else Icarus is gonna kill us!"
"Ehh what's happening tonight?" He said while lazily rubbing his eyes.
"We are going to the local nightclub, remember we were talking about while clearing brunch away," I tried to trigger his memory but he just carried on looking blank for a few more seconds before you could physically see him remember it.
"Ohh yeahhh…" He muttered to himself, "Right Luce I'll see ya later I need to go get changed."
He got up to leave but I grabbed his arm, "Oi what do I wear?"
"Clothes!" He sniggered before leaving the room.
"NATSU FOR FUCK SAKE YOU ARE NO USE!" I screamed to myself throwing my arms up in exasperation as I sank into one of the leather sofas. I felt a light tap on my shoulder -
"SHIT I SWEAR TO GOD IF THAT'S YOU NATSU!" I bellowed as I jumped about 6 ft in the air in surprise into a ninja pose.
"Lucy calm, it's just me," Levy laughed as she prodded my ninja pose, I quickly dropped my arms blushing.
"Has Natsu been a pain today?" Levy giggled.
"Yeah he has I will get revenge though…" I grumbled. I will probably put hair dye in his shampoo.
I took in Levy's appearance and saw that she had taken off her thick rimmed glasses, applied a little bit of makeup to her pale face and some dark eye shadow that made her eyes pop. She was dressed in a cute short orange dress that went down to her mid-thigh laced with a white ribbon, and her shoulder length hair adorned with a simple matching orange headband with a flower. She also wore a plain pair of high heels that made her nearly as tall as me. She looked so pretty…
"Levy?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah Lu?"
"Could you help me for what to wear tonight?"
"OMG YES!" Levy gushed jumping up and down, "I have millions of clothes that might fit you - well they might be a bit small in some areas - IMMM SOO GLAD YOU ASKED IT CAN BE LIKE A GIRLY MAKEOVER SESSION!"
I was slightly taken aback by Levy's view on clothes, I thought she was going to reject me and not help. I didn't realise she had this girly side of her. Her grin must've been contagious because I couldn't help but smile as well. Levy suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me into down the corridor out of the way barrelling into Gajeel. Sending us two flying and only succeeding in making Gajeel stagger two paces back.
"Oi watch where you're going Shrimp and you to Bimbo!" He said while brushing his clothes f before retreating into a room opposite Levy's.
"Grumpy Neighbor," I winked at Levy, she just blushed apologizing for him before pushing her door open and ushering me inside.
To say Levy's room was a library was an understatement, she had books piled high and had pushed makeshift shelves against the wall with books dominating their surfaces.
"Wow…" I said as I traced the spine of them, I loved books but this was impressive for such a small place. There was books even in different languages, one appeared to be full of little pictures like a comic but you have to read it the other way, and it was in japanese? Maybe chinese I can't really tell. "Can you read all of these?"
Levy bounded over to me peering over my shoulder at the picture book that read 'Soul Eater',
"Yup that's my favourite one, it's just a shame that they couldn't get all of my books from my room here." She said sadly her eyes glossing over probably remembering her apartment.
"You have more at home?! Jeez remind me to take you to my Library if you ever come to mine," WAIT SHIT! SHE CAN'T KNOW THAT I HAVE A LIBRARY THEN SHE WiLL ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE I LIVE AND I CAN'T TELL HER THE TRUTH YET! I quickly asked another question so hopefully she would ignore the last one, "Do you like it here?"
"YOU HAVE A LIBRARY AT HOME! Unfair," She winked at me, "I like it here, Gajeel helped me with the shelves." Wait Gajeel? Like the thug?
"Gajeel helped you…."
"Yup he built all of these when he saw me struggle to fit them in on one shelves." Cuteeee, I feel a ship in the making… I turned away from the books to find Levy on her hands and knees rummaging around in a cardboard box that was shoved under her bed.
"Levy what are you doing...? Do you need any help?" Suddenly the blue haired girl squealed like a maniac.
"FOUND IT!" She held a piece of white and blue fabric in her hands before she threw at me.
"Hurry! Hurry! Put it on!" She gushed. I didn't even have time to look at the dress before I threw it above my head and shimmed into it. It was a similar design to Levy's including the mid length but mine was white with blue stripes down the sides and my sleeves were made of a flowy white material and blue ribbons. It was somehow a perfect fit!
"Levy it's beautiful," I said as I trailed my fingers down the soft silk.
"Yeah I was waiting to grow into it but I don't think I will ever grow into it. I'm gonna give it to you! Definitely suits you better that it ever will me." She winked before, "WAIT- wait I think something that will suit it even moreeee!"
Levy rushed back into the cardboard box before throwing me a pair of knee high white socks. "OOOOhhhh come here a sec now time for your hair," She said while picking up a hairbrush from a random surface that wasn't dominated by a book. I knelt down so she could sit on the bed and be the right height to reach my head. "Sooo I was going to go for something more cute? Better than your normal style." She said as she lightly tugged part of my hair from the bobble that I keep some of it up with.
"I know you're probably thinking this isn't what you would normally wear to a nightclub but I FIND IT PERFECT because it's casual but different!" She hummed happily as she brushed my golden locks.
"I loveee your hair!" She was busy halfing it at the roots before asking me to hold up the bobbles, I just silently held up a bobble as she rambled on.
"OMG! You will look adorable! Can't wait to see Natsu's reaction to this!" She grinned madly as she tied two low pigtails. Ignoring my gaping, flustered face.
"Don't deny it Lu! You two are my OTP! Like awhhh I want a romance like you two, you guys always make each other laugh and argue like an old married couple!"
"Levy!" I said appalled at thinking of me and Natsu as a couple. "He is just my best friend. And I haven't known him for long! Why would I go out with him!" I grumbled.
"You're soooo old fashioned Lu!" She punched me lightly in the arm before tying a blue ribbon round my neck.
"Says the one that employed her Ex's for slave labour!"I shot back.
"Low blowwwww Ashley! I'm wounded." Levy faked a gunshot to the chest and collapsed back onto the bed.
Gajeel's POV
Today was an alright day. Pro's I got to stand on Salamanders back and crush him into the floor. Cons I was bored out my brains hearing Bimbo and Salamander run round the HQ like toddlers due to these walls being paper thin. Pro's Titania was helping me to get a truck to fetch my precious Pantherlily and get him closer by. Cons the truck wouldn't arrive till next week. Cons I have to go out to a nightclub… Pro's least there will be alcohol. I had just came back into the corridor that led to my room from my search for something to do when two girls barreled into me. Reasons why it's not safe to be around girls. I suppose I only staggered as I watched a blonde and a blue haired girls go sprawling into a giggling heap. I just made some remark and returned into my room. That was enough time wandering. I guess I need to make some effort rather than my usual vest and studs. I scraped my hair into a pony then found a fitting white tee before jumping into my washed out black jeans which were covered with buckles and chains, topped off with my big sturdy rock boots. Damn it where was my leather jacket. I checked under my bed and it wasn't there… I checked if someone had put it away but nope it wasn't there either. Where else would it fucking be…. That's when I saw my little work bench in the corner of my dorm where I do all my fixing/creating/fiddling/improving, and it was just sat there mockingly on the chair. Oh yeah I wore it when I was making the bookcase for shrimp.
I quickly shrugged it on before trudging downstairs into the kitchen. We were leaving in about 15 minutes, enough time to have a drink. I was planning on having a nice, relaxing, solitude drink. Alone. But no.
There sitting on the kitchen island was Natsu oblvious to Icarus's glare who was leaning against the fridge. To even be more irritating was that the stupid teen was having a heated discussion with Gray.
"Shut-up popsicle! I think I look good!" Natsu sniffed.
"Sure sureee… Flamebrain whatever makes you sleep at night."
Gray was wearing black washed out jeans and a dark blue dress shirt and a white bomber jacket thrown over his shoulder casually. Where as Natsu was wearing a jumper that he had pulled up at the elbows his scarf was hanging lightly round his shoulders, his trousers were in tatters finished with a worn pair of combat boots.
"Sup MetalFace!" Natsu greeted as I moved into the room. I just grunted in acknowledgement before hinting at Icarus to move so I could get into the fridge he was just wearing a casual shirt and blazer with black skinny jeans. I groaned as I realised that the fridge was deserted from the beer bottles than were normally plentiful.
"Who drank all the beer?" I growled.
"You did pony-tail," Natsu quipped.
"Shut the fuck up pinky!" I picked my glass up and threw it towards Natsu who dodged the flying glass which ended up hitting a unsuspecting Gray square in the forehead.
"Oi! Watch it meathead!" Gray said storming up to me.
"Wanna say that to my face?" I threatened pausing before I lifted Natsu up by his scarf.
"Hands off the scarffff man," Natsu moaned, I just punched him causing Icarus to voice his displeasure…
"Don't get blood in the kitchen or Titania will murder me," He said weakly. But that was almost a trigger for world war 3 to break out. Natsu was throwing a punch in my direction which I side stepped, Gray threw himself on Natsu causing them both to topple off of the counter. Icarus was trying to pry them off of each other,in the heat of the moment I just tackled Icarus who sent death glares my way. Then I lost count of how many punches and kicks that were accurately aimed at me. Perks of fights vs people that know what they are actually doing. These lot were more fun than the idiots at the garage. I had finally had enough as I looked at my watch not wanting to get tazed by Titania like the last time she found us mid-brawl.
"Right time to break it up you virgins!" I called out.
"Oi I'm not a virgin! I have a girlfriend!" Gray said offendedly.
Icarus just blushed, So we all knew he had done it. Just by his reaction. "One shouldn't brag about things like that…" He just mumbled.
"Shut-up!" Natsu suddenly looked uncomfortable, that has piqued my curiosity. I had just assumed that - as Levy would say- would have already done it.
"Natsu?!" All three of us said in unison.
"Yesss?" He stuttered.
"Are you a virgin?" Gray said while prodding said boy in the arm.
"...Yes,"
"Huh…!" Was all Gray could say, he seemed shell-shocked.
"Ermmm..!" I suddenly felt uncomfortable and wished we had carried on fighting.
"Oh…" Icarus murmed.
"WHAT IT'S OKAI TO BE A VIRGIN! IT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME OKAI?" Natsu suddenly broke the awkward silence. "Do you guys have a problem with that?"
"No." Icarus said quickly.
"Nope…" It was none of my business.
"Nah…" Gray seemed completely oblivious to all of the awkwardness in the air as we felt the door open and saw Levy, Titana and Lucy come into the kitchen.
"Why are you guys talking about virgins….?" Levy said confusedly causing us all to yell out some sort of excuse. Except me she was lookin kinda cute. For a shrimp.
Levy's POV
I had just finished Lucy's transformation when we heard a ruckus coming from the kitchen. I spared a glance at Lucy as we left my room.
"I wonder what they are fighting over this time," Lucy laughed.
"I dunno probably something stupid like the last 243 times in the past 4 days." I said offhandedly.
We had just reached the stairs when we saw Titania looking annoyed at the kitchen stairs, quickly me and Lucy ran down the stairs two at a time to hear the dialogue of this one's battle.
"Right time to break it up you virgins!" A familiar voice shouted out but muffled slightly by the door. Huh how come he was splitting the fight up.
"Oi! I'm not a virgin! I have a girlfriend!" Gray shouted, intrigued by this we cracked the kitchen door open just a smidge. Me and Lucy were glaring threw the door, surprisingly enough Titania joined us in our spying mission. Icarus face suddenly flushed - Awh what a cutie pie!- "One shouldn't brag about things like that…" He just mumbled. Causing Titania to stiffen up next to us, me and Lucy looked at her face in horror as she blushed a deep red blending into her hair, HER AND ICARUS DID THE DIRTY?!
"Shut-up!" Natsu's voice shuttered drawing me and Lucy away from the mortified Titania.
"Natsu?!" All the boys voice chorused as me and Lucy leaned more in.
"Yesss?" He tried to mimic being calm and innocent but you could see panic start to rise in his eyes.
"Are you a virgin?" Gray poked Natsu in the arm lightly.
"Yes."
"Huh…!"
"Ermmm..!"
"Oh…"
"WHAT IT'S OKAI TO BE A VIRGIN! IT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME OKAI?" Natsu suddenly broke the awkward silence. "Do you guys have a problem with that?"
"No."
"Nope…"
"Nah…" Gray seemed completely oblivious to all of the awkwardness in the air as us girls decided to rescue the boys before they ruin whatever relationship they have with each other before letting them destroy it with more personal questions.
"Why are you guys talking about virgins….?" I said confusedly causing them to all to yell out some sort of excuse.
"Gajeel threw a glass!" Icarus shouted to Titania trying to change the subject for Natsu's sake - Little do they know we heard everything.
"Natsu's a virgin" Gray piped up.
"HEY! ICEDICK!" Natsu punched Gray in the stomach.
"I just wanted a beer…" Gajeel moaned in his hands as Titania approached him with a taser.
"Woah! Woah! Woah! I think everyone should just calm down… Lets just call the cab." Lucy diffuse the situation like a pro, flipping through her phone contacts to the taxi service before chatting away happily.
"Okey Dokey! We will be out in 5! Thanks for waiting!" She said joyfully before ending the call and squealed. "Guys hurry up I wanna go to the club!" She said while pulling on Natsu's scarf and then with her other hand she was dragging me to the front door as well. Leaving everyone else to trail out of the HQ. Before Lucy got in the taxi she called out to everyone.
"LAST PERSON IN HAS TO PAY FOR THE TAXI!" She yelled with a meaning smile. Luckily me, her and Natsu were already in the cab. Leaving everyone else to trample their way into the taxi. Gajeel was last.
"Damnit!" He whined.
"Don't worry I'll pay half," I offered.
"Thanks Shrimp!" He sent me a toothy grin.
AN - I can't wait for the next chapter the club is like this AU's version of the Fairy Tail Guild Hall. (It's not a bad thing to be a virgin) A pinch of Gajeel x Levy mwhahah.
