Well here's the new chapter, enjoy my lovely readers
Natsu POV
The winter air burned my throat with every breath, making the walk to the local bar that much worse. Things are extremely awkward between me and Lucy, and to add insult to injury, she's walking a few steps ahead of me-completely lost in her own world. The silence between us was far from comfortable.
I tried to talk to her a few times, but she'd just hum an answer and slow down enough that I could fall into step with her. Then she'd doze off again and speed on past me.
We were finally getting close to the bar and I quickly regreted letting her go and change her clothes. She was wearing a tight black leather skirt that made her porcelain white legs pop out with a puffy white coat. She strutted along with no problem in these stunning heeled boots. Lucy looked down right sexy and once again I found myself watching her hips sway as she walked ahead of me.
It should be illegal for a woman to look so damn fine.
What the hell am I thinking?
I smacked a palm to my forehead and muttered to myself, "Get control of yourself! You're a fuckin' thug, don't let a piece of ass do this to you..."
I didn't realize that I had stopped walking until I looked up and caught sight of Lucy walking toward me, her head cocked to the side in a questioning manor. "Is somethin' wrong Salamander?"
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I pushed myself forward and wrapped a hand around her wrist, spinning her around and dragging her along with me.
Now in front of the bar, a man barked out to us, "Now, boy! You shouldn't be touching a beauty like that."
I continued to walk and pull Lucy while she let out a small, "It's okay."
Once inside, I released my hold on Lucy and instantly walked up to the bar. I ordered a scotch on the rocks and within a minute I had the glass in my hand. I took two long gulps as I listened to Lucy's small voice, "Just a Corona for me, please."
After the tall bartender walked away to get her drink, I turned to her and muttered, "You don't need to be so polite."
The bartender came back and gave me a hard look before he handed the beer to her. He purred, "Here you are, sweet heart." Then he was leaned against the bar, completely ignoring the other costumers that were trying to call him over.
"So what brings a sweet little thing like you to this dump?" The bartender asked Lucy.
I could practically hear her blush as she answered, "Just coming to get a drink is all."
The bartender was so close to her that I had to look away before it seriously pissed me off. He whispered to her, "Well let me know if you need anything and I'll be sure to do it for ya."
Lucy laughed at this, for whatever reason and whispered back, "Then how about another drink for when this ones gone?"
With each passing second of them whispering to one another was getting me angry. So I downed my glass and slammed it down on the table, slurring out a request before the man walked away, "'Nother Scotch over here while yer at it."
The man rolled his eyes and took my empty glass on his way to get Lucy another drink. It was kinda pathetic. It was like her looks made men completely lose their dignity, he was practically telling her to manipulate him. Some men were so weak.
"Maybe you should slow down," Lucy spoke from behind me, her hand rested lightly on my shoulder. "I don't want you gettin-"
"Don't worry about me!" I barked out as I swatted her hand away. "I can handle m'self jus' fine."
Lucy sounded hurt, "Okay then.."
Another man walked over to Lucy after she sat down. He was a tall, well built guy with slicked back black hair. What was weird about him was that he didn't have a shirt on, despite the obvious chill that ran through the place.
He stumbled up to her and plopped down in the seat next to her, on the other side. He instantly greeted her with, "Next one's on me if I can get your name, beautiful."
I thought he looked drunk but his voice came out clear as day. Maybe I'm just the one that's drunk? I choked out a laugh at the thought and looked down to the glass that the bartender slid toward me. Before he walked away he muttered, "I'm not gonna need to call Gildarts in here again, right Salamander?"
"Na," I chuckled at the reminder of why Gildarts always has to come get me. I always find myself getting into a fight while I'm here. But I'm not the one that starts 'em.
The bartender gave a quick nod and raised his eye brows. His eyes shifted over to where Lucy and that random shirtless guy were talking and he spit out, "We'll see."
I let myself stair at Lucy and mystery guy as they flirted. She patted his shoulder and giggled behind her other hand at whatever it was that he said. I couldn't help the growl that ripped it's way out of my throat.
As soon as they heard me, the man looked around Lucy right at me and gave me this shit eating grin. He asked, "And who's this boy? A friend?"
"Well..." Lucy started, her eyed boring into mine with the same question in them.
"Name's Salamander," I proudly answered. He has to know who I am, I'm practically famous 'round here.
The man's eyes grew wide and he jumped up to his feet. He walked around Lucy and straight up to me and asked, "Ya mean Cana's Salamander? Like her brother?"
I raised an eye brow and nodded my head. I was slightly surprised that he knew me through Cana. How does he know her?
He took my hand and shook it eagerly as he smiled. "I'm Bacchus, It's fuckin' awesome to meet you! You're sisters the baddest chick I know, she's the only person who can out drink me." He awkwardly held my hand for a moment while I processed what he was saying.
Once I realized he was done talking I pulled my hand away and slurred, "How'd you know 'er?"
"I've taken her out a few times," Bacchus quickly answered, his eyes leaving mine for a second. "Here lemme get'a a drink!" His enthusiasm was back as he waved over the bartender.
And so began our drinking contest. He was finally slurring by the 5th round of beers, I was beyond inebriated and I was feelin' A.O-fuckin'-K.
But Bacchus ruined it by slurring out that he had to go. He said goodbye to Lucy first by kissing her hand then me by a light pat on the shoulder. Then he was gone, leaving Lucy and I alone at the bar. There were other people in the place of course, but they were all seated in different places.
Have you got color in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like something in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee
The place was getting quieter and I was finally able to hear the music that played. It was a song that sounded familiar. Maybe something that Lisanna liked to play around me?
It had heavy bass and smooth guitar rifts that made me want to sway, despite my fear of stirring up my unsettled stomach.
(Do I wanna know)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you
I looked over to Lucy and gave her a sly smile as I watched her unzip her jacket and shimmy out of it. She grinned back and asked, "What?"
"Nothin', you just look really hot tonight," I managed to say as I ran a hand through my hair.
Her eyes grew wide and she crossed a leg over the other. "Well that was straightforward." She took a long sip of her beer and a little drop spilled out of the corner of her mouth. It trailed down to her chin so I scooted closer to her and used a finger to wipe it off.
Once it was off of her, I stuck my finger into my mouth and sucked the beer off of it.
Lucy's eyes fallowed my movements and as she pulled the bottle from her mouth, she licked her lips.
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
"What are ya thinkin' about Luce?" I questioned after a minute of awkward silence.
She shook her head and looked down to her hands that squeezed the beer bottle. "Nothin' really. Just enjoyin' my buzz."
I nodded and took the last sip of my Scotch. It was my third glass of Scotch, and I enjoyed a few beers with Lucy and Bacchus. So I was beyond buzzed.
So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to
"Lucy," I randomly spoke up, surprising myself. "Why'd you nod earlier when Flare said something about love? Do you love me?"
"Natsu!" She squeaked. "I-I-I'm not going to answer that!"
I laughed at her stutter and pulled her bar stool closer to mine.
(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
I slowly started to lean into her, my eyes glued onto my destination-those plush pink lips that were just calling out to me. I wanted so badly to feel their warmth on my own.
"What're you-"
"Shhh.." I shushed her as I made my slow descend onto her lips. I closed my eyes right before I felt her lips brush against mine.
But that wasn't enough, I needed to feel more of her. All of her.
Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a few)
'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
Lucy pulled back slightly so I snaked my hands up her arms and firmly grabbed hold of her shoulders, pulling her closer to me. Atleast as close as possible without either one of us falling off of our bar stools.
She hummed her approval and melted into me, moving her hand to grasp the bar stool but letting her chest press up against mine.
I let my tongue part her lips and instantly her tongue was swirling around mine. We dominated one another, our tongues flicking against each other in a struggle for dominance.
(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
After a few sweet short seconds, I felt her hands press against my chest and she shoved me back hard. I lost my grasp of her and the next thing I knew, I fell on my ass off the stool
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
"Sorry, Natsu.. I just-I can't!" With that half assed explanation, Lucy was up and running, leaving me sitting on the cold hard ground.
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
"Wait!" I called after her. "Don't! I need you. Luce!"
(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
I couldn't tell if she heard me before she was out the door. I pretended she didn't hear me, that makes this blow to my ego much easier to deal with.
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
I wanted to call for her more. I wanted to scream her name until she came running back. But she just left. She just shoved me away and ran from me.
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?
Lucy POV
I was breathing heavily outside of the bar, my hands rested on my bare legs as I sucked in the cold air. I was completely flustered. I can't believe I just let him do that.
He was defenently way to drunk, he never would've done something like that if he were sober.
How do I face him after that? I've hurt him so much. But it's too soon. He just treated me like yesterday morning while I was getting my tattoo done, and then it turned into this? What happened!
I'm never drinking with him again.
"Well.. Well.. Well." A woman's voice called out from the dark next to me. "Fancy finding you here, traitor."
Okay sorry about the cliff hanger! I relized I havn't done that in a while so I wanted to cuz I felt like the story was getting kinda boring.
So how did ya like it? Was it good? Bad? Meh?
Lemme know, though I kinda feel confident about this one (:
Alright, I bid you farewell for now my fairy tail Nakama
xoxo
