Disclaimer- I don't own Fairy Tail… (Sigh)
"And the winner of the Fiore Band Battles is…" A drum roll sounded off.
Fairy Tail held hands in anticipation. Silence filled the auditorium.
"FAIRY TAIL IS NUMBER ONE!" Max shot his hand up with the Fairy Tail sign.
Everyone screamed and some cried as confetti fell from the ceiling.
"We won… Natsu! WE WON!" Lucy cried as she hugged him.
"YEA!" He shouted as loud as he could.
(A/N I'm writing this whilst the Fairy Tail theme music is playing on my headphones… It feels epic)
The whole Fairy Tail school ran up onto the stage, tackling the band members.
"You brats did well!" Makarov grinned.
"Damn right we did well!"
"YES! Now we get the 30 million jewel reward!" The master sniggered.
"Jeez old man. I'd thought you'd be better than that."
Makarov lined the band members up. "Now FT Delinquents. You have graduated from Fairy Tail and you have made the school proud by winning. What are you going to do with your lives?"
"Well… We were hoping that we could all stick together. It's hard finding such great friends. We all got accepted into the same University." Lucy explained.
"And we'll just go with the flow from there." Natsu finished.
"That sounds like a lovely idea. I'm so proud and honoured to have had you as students of Fairy Tail. I bid you farewell and safe journeys. Hopefully the students will live up to your names. Now go say good-bye to your friends." Makarov teared up a little, knowing his 'children' were leaving him.
~ 2 Years Later ~
"Hey Natsu. Can I ask you to do a favour for me?" Sting asked.
"Yea sure man. What is it?"
"I need your help… I want to ask Lucy to marry me."
"That's awesome! When?" Deep down inside, Natsu broke even more.
"Maybe in 2 weeks. I just need help to plan it and lure her in and stuff."
"Um… Yea sure. Anything for Lucy. I'll… I'll see you later." Natsu waved as he ran off.
It's definitely too late now…
"Hey flame-brain! Did you hear?" Gray shouted from across the hallway.
"Did I hear what?"
"There's a Fairy Tail party next week. It's like all the old students coming back one more time before we actually never see everyone in one place again." The raven-haired boy explained.
"I didn't hear about it but it sounds really fun. I guess I'll go. Where is it?"
"At the school of course! I'll see you later, got to get to class. Oh! And if you see Sting, tell him I'm in. Sorry Natsu." Gray pat his friend. "I guess she wasn't meant to be yours."
~ A Week Later ~
Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel and Jellal walked through the school doors as nostalgia hit them.
"Welcome back my children! Fairy Tail hasn't changed very much." Makarov smiled.
"Gramps! We missed you!" They all tackled him.
"Now you brats! Go have some fun!" The old man pushed them onto the dance floor, music booming in their ears. They all shrugged and partied away.
That night, Lucy and Natsu walked home together. Lucy moved apartments to Crocus (where their University was) so she was going to stay with Natsu since he still lived in Magnolia.
"So Luce… Do you love Sting?"
"Yea! Of course I do. We've been together for 3 years now and I feel so happy." The blonde looked up at the night sky and breathed in deeply. "Maybe you can go find yourself a girl, Natsu. Someone that'll make you happy."
"Maybe one day… I just haven't found the one yet. None of them seem right. Anyways, we're nearing my house now. Are you sleeping on the floor?"
"No way! Isn't the guest supposed to sleep on the bed?!" Lucy smacked his arm.
"Well… Yeaaaaaa… But naaaaa." Natsu laughed as he started running.
"Hey! Don't run off without me!" Lucy chased after him.
Arriving at the house, they bent over trying to catch their breaths.
"I was always faster than you Luce." He chuckled.
"Yea! By a millisecond! And you cheated!"
"Let's get inside before we freeze to death." Natsu shivered.
They walked up the stairs and looked at his bedroom. It was surprisingly clean. He was a grown man now after all.
"So you're sleeping on the floor right?" Lucy sat on the bed.
"No way! I'm sleeping on my bed!" Natsu sat down next to her.
"How about we both sleep on it together?"
"W-w-what…?"
"Natsu… I've missed you so much…" Lucy caressed his chest, outlining his fit physique.
Natsu grabbed her hand. "Lucy! Have you been drinking?" He sternly asked.
"No! Only water." She placed her hand into his, kissing it.
"Lucy… What are you doing? I can't be doing this! You have Sting!" Natsu stood up from the bed.
"But Natsu… I've always loved you. I made a mistake in saying yes to Sting. I want to break up with him."
"Break up?! No! You can't!"
"Why…?"
"You just can't!"
Lucy went on her tip toes and pecked Natsu. Tears streaming down both their faces, they kissed.
"Natsu-"
"Lucy… You only have to look at me… When I see you smile, I become happy. Do… Do I still love you? But that doesn't matter! I, who fell for you has already lost…" Natsu leaned into her. (A/N If any of you get that Kpop reference, give this story a review and tell me… Mimi! I still remembered! Oh and when I imagine Natsu saying this… my heart bursts.)
I'm sorry Sting…
They fell onto the bed, Natsu and Lucy doing things that they always wanted to do to each other. (A/N don't worry guys… I don't write lemon fanfics and this certainly is not one!)
Natsu woke up the next morning with Lucy laying on his bare chest. Wait… bare?! He jumped out and grabbed a nearby pillow and covered his junk.
"L-L-L-Lucy! Uh… Um… we didn't… did we?"
"I-I-I-I- don't know… did we?" She looked just as scared as he was.
They both cursed under their breath. "We did."
"How did you even know…? About… that. Or even how to do that…"
"Gray and Gajeel corrupted me." Natsu sighed.
"Oh… I have this terrible headache and I don't remember much from yesterday…" Lucy rubbed her temples.
"Maybe you were drunk?"
"No… I only drank Coke and water."
"I think someone drugged you. No wonder you had no control last night. But it was also my fault…"
"At least I trust you Natsu…" She smiled. "So what do we do now…?" Lucy stood up, wrapping the blanket around her naked body.
"One question… That wasn't your first time, was it Luce?"
Lucy chucked a pillow at his head.
"Don't ask that so casually!"
"So you've had it with Sting before… Oh… Sting was your first…" Natsu looked around the room, avoiding all eye contact possible.
"Look Natsu… I… I think I want to break up with Sting. For us."
"NO! No! You can't!" Natsu instantly thought about the marriage proposal.
"Why not?"
"Uh… You guys are meant to be for each other! You guys are soul mates! Stay with him! Forever!"
"Is that… is that what you want?" Lucy seemed confused.
"That's not the question. It's what you want. Not me, you." Natsu went into his cupboard and quickly put some pants on. "You should go get changed and go back to Sting. He's probably worried about you."
"Um… Yea… Sure thing."
After Lucy got changed, she stood in front of Natsu and looked up at him.
"I'm sorry for all the mess and pain I've caused you Natsu." She bowed politely and began to walk away.
Natsu grabbed her wrist. "Promise me something Lucy." Her eyes widened. It felt like déjà vu. Maybe because it was.
He sounds just like Wendy before she- Let's not remember that… Family resemblance huh?
"Anything Natsu."
"Promise me you'll take care of yourself. Take care of Sting too. He loves you."
"Yea… sure…" Lucy started walking again and stopped at the frame of the door. "I'll probably never get to say this to you again but I… I love you Natsu… See you at Uni."
"Sting! I'm home!" Lucy called as she walked through the doors. "Sting? Are you even at home?" She dropped her bag and phone on the kitchen table and walked into the lounge room, only to find him sulking. "What's the matter babe?" She sat on the couch next to him.
"I'm so sorry Lucy… I can understand if we break up after this…"
"What… What are you talking about Sting?"
"I… I… I slept with Yukino last night… I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me! I couldn't control myself! I just… I'm sorry…" Sting couldn't apologise enough.
"Sting… I'm sorry too… I slept with Natsu last night… Thank you for being honest with me. Was it only that one time?"
"No… Thank you for being honest with me and telling me. And yea, it was only that one time… you?"
"Yea… just last night. I got drugged, I think someone spiked my drink. I'm sorry."
"Me too…" Sting kissed Lucy on the cheek before getting up.
(A/N Omg... if all guys/girls were this understanding)
"I'll go make some breakfast, are you coming?"
"I might go have a shower first."
Lucy stood in the shower and began thinking about what to do. That's actually where she does her best thinking.
Sting's a really good guy. Honest and loyal too. But Natsu. I've known him for forever and we are made for each other. Who to choose?! Natsu told me to choose Sting and Wakana chose me to choose Sting too and Sting's a good guy. I see a reoccurring pattern here. Arghhh fuck it. I guess I'll go with the flow…
Well... I know that most of you guys reading this are from America and the spelling there is different from where I live so yea... It's not that i don't know how to spell, it's just that it's either typos or because that's how I was taught.
The next chapter has a lot of things going on:
"Will you marry me Lucy?"
Oh God… I can't believe I'm going to do this to you guys… I'm sorry… So. Sad. Can't. Cry. Shit. Too late…
