Hey, guys, I'm back with another chapter hope you guy enjoys it; also, while you're here, I want to encourage you to read my other story, which is a retelling of Fairy tail I know it's probably been done to death. Still, I want to give it a shot
warning: Natsu may be OOC in this chapter; I really don't know
summary: Natsu asked Wendy for advice on asking Lucy out on a date. In return, she get's to ask him any question, and he'd give her a grown-up seems fair until she asked the question.
Anyway, let's start the story.
Natsu had done a lot in his life; he's taking on demons, dark guild leaders, hell, he even beat the dragon king acloniga and his brother Zeref, but all those paled in comparison to what he was about to do right now.
Natsu stood in front of her door, flowers in hand, a small gift behind his back; he honestly didn't how this would turn out; he had gone through all the scenarios in his head.
"You got this, Dragneel," Natsu said aloud, "if you can take on a guild full of demons, this should be easy, right."
What Natsu was doing, you ask well, you see, he was attempting to ask his dear friend Lucy Heartfilla out on a date just the two of them, and all week he's been thinking of how to do it.
'Just do what Wendy told you, and you should be fine,' the fire dragon slayer thought to himself.
Flashback
Earlier that day, Natsu walked into the guild hall to see that a brawl had already started, and for once, he wasn't the cause of it. He saw Gray fly into a wall due to a hit from Gajeel. He couldn't help but laugh.
"focus," Natsu said as he started scanning the guild "okay, she is not here, and" he continued to look over the guild until he found his target sitting at a table reading a book was his old pal Wendy. He made his way over to the table, going around the fight.
The young dragon slayer looked up, surprised that Natsu wasn't participating in the brawl "oh hey Natsu," she said in a nice character voice.
"Wendy can we talk," Nasu said in a hushed voice, "but in the other room."
This got an eyebrow raise from the girl as Carla came up o them wondering what Natsu wanting to ask Wendy about
the two followed Natsu in the other room as he sat down with a big sigh. "I need your help," he muttered very quietly
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you, Natsu."
"I need your help," Natsu said. "I want," he froze; he was unsure how she would react.
"It's okay, Natsu," Wendy said with a warm smile, "no need to be embarrassed."
Natsu sighed before speaking, "I want to ask Lucy out on a date, but I don't know-how," Natsu said as quickly as he possibly could
To say Wendy was shocked was completely wrong; all train of thought had completely left her brain as she stared at the pink-haired boy in front of her.
"Wait," Carla asked, flying up to meet Natsu's face "why are you asking us," Carla asked, "and wouldn't it make sense to ask a guy this type of question."
"come on, Carla, name one guy in the guild who would give me good advice about this," Natsu said with a blank stare on the face.
Carla stopped as much as she hated to admit Natsu was right. Nearly most men would give Natsu bad advice or just came up with some pervy thoughts.
"Okay," Carla said, "but why us."
"Well, I'm not sure Erza would be much help with romance as she barely understands it," Natsu said as much as he loved the red-haired wizard, there was something not even she could do "Evergreen away on a mission, so I can't ask her," Natsu said "and no way am I asking Mira for advice" Natsu god knows what would happen if she found out about this "and I don't think Juvia would be very helpful."
"I get your point," Wendy said, looking away, "okay, so I was your only option."
"Oh, don't say it like that," Natsu said, trying to get out of the hot seat "okay, here's a deal helps me, and I'll tell you anything you want to know, no made-up fantasies or nothing," Nasu told the Girl.
Wendy stroked her chin a few times before smiling, "okay, we have a deal."
"So how should I do this" Natsu asked
"Well done," Wendy said, holding up a finger "you should get her a flower," Wendy said smiling, "make it look like your trying, "and when on the date, try going somewhere special," Wendy finished with a wink "and didn't try to act differently."
Natsu rose an eyebrow at the statement. It honestly caught him off guard.
"Just be yourself," Wendy said, smiling, "and nothing could go wrong."
End Flashback
Natus let out a final breath before knocking on the door
"one moment," Her voice called through the room
As Lucy's feet approached the doo, Natsu's palm grew sweetie 'mabey I should have gone through the window' he thought o himself
But before she could move, the door opened to reveal the blond-haired wizard Lucy heartfilla, who had a surprised look on her face "Natsu," she asked as he stood there giving off his signature grin
"h-hey Lucy," he said nervously
"Are you okay?" Lucy asked as she stared the dragon slayer down; to say this was odd was an understatement. Natsu never knocked. Something had to happen
"Can I come in?" Natsu asked
Lucy just nodded and stepped aside, letting Nasu in her apartment. She honestly felt weird doing this. It was a first for her
"So didn't see you at the guild today," Natsu asked as he went to sit on her couch
"Oh, I have been trying to write my novel all day," Lucy said, smiling "it's not as easy it looks," she said, giving off a grin that warmed Natsu heart
"umm Lucy," Natsu started
"Yea"
"I was wondering," Natsu felt as if he couldn't breathe. Why was this so hard? ask her
"Natsu, what's wrong," Lucy asked with a hint of concern in her voice. "I've never seen you this nervous before
"I wanted...to know if you" Natsu caught his breath his heart rate began to increase
he quickly showed the blond girl the flower he had brought her "would you go on a date with me, Lucy."
words failed to leave Lucy's mouth as she stared at her best friend in front of her 'was this the reason he's been acting weird' Lucy let out a laugh. "Yeah, I'd love to."
"Really," Natsu eye's beamed with joy, "then let's go," she shouted with his signature grin.
"wait, Natsu, I have to get ready!" Lucy shouted as Natsu dragged her out of her apartment; she was already dressed but wanted to look nice
"Oh, come on, Luce, I think you look fine the way you are," Natsu told the blond wizard, smiling.
Lucy's face was as red as Erza hair, but she couldn't help but laugh at his best friend's antic as they ran out of the house.
The next day Lucy entered the guild surprised that a fight wasn't going on 'must be a quiet day' Lucy scanned the area and saw Nasu sitting near her usually seat; she smiled as she recalled yesterday's events; the date was honestly wonderful they went to a restaurant for a while walked around a park it was great.
Lucy walked up to her best-friends, took a seat, and noticed a certain exceed was missing "hey, where's happy," she asked, getting his attention.
"don't know," Natsu answered, turning to face her, "he said how he had something important to do today and wouldn't be at the guild," he answered as he turned back to his breakfast "Hey, Lucy."
"Yeah"
"do you wanna be my ya? No," he stopped as he seemed to fumble with the words "Girlfriend," he said quietly but loud enough for Lucy to hear.
Lucy's cheeks turned pink as she knew this was coming "of course, Natsu," she then leaned in a kissed his cheek, causing him to blush.
A small hand tapped him on the shoulder. Natsu turned around to see Wendy; however, her feline partner wasn't with her, "oh, hey Wendy," Natsu said, smiling, "where's Carla."
Wendy took a seat next to Natsu and shrugged, "I honestly have no idea she just took of this morning. Say I have o be somewhere today."
"that's funny cause Happy told me the same thing," Natsu said, looking up, "you don't think."
both Dragon slayers looked at each other for a while, both of their minds came to the same conclusion
"I don't follow," Lucy said
"Happy and Carla are out on a date," Natsu told the celestial wizard.
"Wow," Lucy muttered, "didn't see that coming."
"oh, that reminds me," Wendy said, covering her mouth, "how'd it go," she asked.
Natsu laughed, "it was great actually," he said, smiling at the young dragon slayer "it's all thinking to you."
Wendy couldn't help but blush "anything for my big bro," she said shyly, "and that reminds me it's time you pay up."
"what you mean up," Lucy asked.
"well, you see," Natsu said, rubbing his head, " I had asked Wendy for advice the other day, and I promised I'd tell her whatever she'd wanted to know" Lucy sat there and thought about for a few seconds.
"Seems like a fair trade," she muttered, "alright, Wendy shoots the sky's the limit."
Wendy's eye's sparkled as she'd thought of a question to ask her teammates "well, I want to know" she leaned up to Natsu's ear and whispered the next part, which caused him to blush majorly.
"Um, why," Natsu asked.
"I've always wondered, and Carla won't tell me," Wendy said, pouting "you promised"
"Um, Lucy," Natsu leaned into Lucy's ear to whisper what Wendy told him. Lucy's eye's widened in shock as she looked at the young dragon slayer.
"Well, Wendy," Lucy said, pressing her fingers together, thinking about doing that with her new boyfriend, "can we get a different question."
"Oh, come on, guys, I'm not a kid anymore!" Wendy shouted
Natsu let out a sigh "she's right, Lucy, she's growing up pretty fast."
Lucy rubbed her temples. "I guess you're right; just don't tell Carla we told you, okay."
Wendy nodded as Nasu leaned in her ear and gave her the answer she wanted to say. Wendy's face was red was the understatement of the year "is that true" she asked quickly, regretting asking the question, "that's just, I'm not sure how to feel about that."
"Well, you asked," Natsu told her
Lucy couldn't contain her laugh just another day in the fairy tail guild, she told herself; she then looked at Natsu, who was laughing at his embarrassed friend 'well, one thing changed' that's for sure
