The Bunny And The Dragon
A Day At The Beach
Chapter 5
"Yay! Can you believe it Natsu, we finally are able to take a break and relax at the beach," I say to my unusually grumpy friend.
"Yea, just great," he grumbles out.
"What's your problem," I ask him, ticked off at him dampening my mood.
"Nothing," he forces out. I frown but decide to ignore it in favor of not letting anything bring me down today.
Today Natsu and I went on a mission close to a beach. When we got there, we found out that the people were exaggerating, and the mission was done in less than an hour. We got paid handsomely and I decided since we are close to the beach, we might as well take the time to relax and spend a nice day at the beach. With some of the money we earned, we purchased swim wear and all we would need for the beach. Natsu was originally as hyped as me about going to the beach, but ever since we got here he has been in a bad mood.
Well, it doesn't matter. I am in such a good mood right now. I am wearing the cutest bikini. It's a white piece with cute little bunny prints on it. While normally such a bathing suit would be considered childish, it's a small triangle cut held together by strings. It leaves almost nothing to the imagination, showing my body off so well that it can be considered sexy. It's my favorite kind of apparel, cute but also overtly sexy. Though, I notice with some distain, it really has no support so my boobs are bouncing all over the place.
Oh, I see the perfect spot! "Come on Natsu, let's settle down right there," I say excitedly and I grab his hand, pulling him with me to the spot I want. I put down my towel and lay down on it, wanting to work on my tan.
It is so relaxing that I almost daze before I am rudely interrupted by the shadow of someone standing over me. I force my eyes open and I squint up to the person standing over me.
"Can I help you?" I ask the guy, not bothering to hide my annoyance.
"Yea, do want to join me and my buddies over there," he asks, grinning down at me, shrugging his shoulder to wear a bunch of boys was. The way he said it was so confidently, like he was positive there was no way I was going to refuse him. Sure with his blonde hair, blue eyes, six pack, and wonderfully tan skin, he was quite a sight to behold, but he couldn't even hold a candle to half the guys at my guild and I have no interest in him.
I take a better look at the group of boys he was pointing to, and I notice they were good looking boys and they are looking over to where we are standing eagerly. Frowning,, I let my eyes scour over the hole beach and am a bit unsettled to find almost everyone in eyesight is staring at me.I like being the center of attention, but on my terms and not when I am trying to relax, then it is just annoying.
"Sooo," the guy says, getting my attention again, eagerly awaiting his answer.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I am perfectly happy where I am," I say politely, hoping he won't be one of those annoyingly stubborn people.
Just my luck, he happens to be one. "I insist," he persists. "I can't leave such a pretty lady such as yourself alone," he said trying to be charming. I am too seasoned to fall for it. Living on the streets by yourself at sixteen, for about two years really immunes yourself from peoples tricks. It would take a real skilled actor to trick me.
Wait, by myself? I turn my head and look around for Natsu only to see he is not where I left him and he is nowhere in sight. That stupid idiot. Where did he wonder off to? Why didn't he tell me he was going somewhere? How dare he leave me alone for this kind of person to try to take advantage of me
"I'm actually not here by myself. The person I am with just happens to be somewhere else at the moment," I tell him, looking around for Natsu, though in vain it would seem.
"You're better off with us. What dude leaves such a pretty lady alone," he says snottily. I stare up at him in shock. The audacity! He did not just insult Natsu!
"I think it would be better if you would just leave. Quite honestly, you are bothering me and I don't appreciate you insulting someone I care about; someone who you don't even know and have no right to judge thusly. F.Y.I., if you are trying to pick up a girl, that is not the way to go," I say angrily.
Seeing my anger, the guy decides to back track. "I meant no harm, I wasn't trying to insinuate anything," he says placidly. Liar.
"Please just go away already," I ask frustrated.
"Yea, the lady asked you to leave, so leave," says a familiar manly voice behind the man. The voice sounded quite pissed off. The man turns around to see who interrupted his attempt to pick me up.
"Where have you been Natsu," I ask relieved, yet annoyed at the same time. If he had been here in the first place, I wouldn't have to be dealing with this.
"I was getting some food," he says in a confused manner. I face palm, I should have known.
The guy decides to rudely but in. "Do you know this guy," he asks me.
I give him a dirty look. Obviously if I know the guy's name I know him. "Yea, this is the guy I came with. Now that you seem I am with someone, will you bug off?" I ask him, almost growling. Kami, he almost rivals Natsu in persistence.
The guy finally cracks and lets his real personality to come through; he decides to get nasty. "This is what you are turning me down for," he asks incredulously pointing at Natsu. "I am so much better looking than him. Just look at him, he is a man and his hair is pink," he says sneering at Natsu like he is the dirt beneath him feet.
"And you," he says, turning around to point at me. Didn't anyone tell him pointing is rude? "You should be happy that I even came around to talk to you. You are not near good-looking enough to be turning me down. You must be crazy." I stare at him dubiously. He did not just say that!
I feel the temperature start to pick up and I look at Natsu curiously. Oh Kami, this is not good! Natsu is literally engulfed in flames, and he is livid!
"You bastard," he manages to growl up. "I can take you insulting me, but no one insults Lucy and gets away with it," he says murderously starting to stalk up towards the guy.
Uh-oh, warning bells are going off in my head reminding me this guy is not a mage he can't take a beating the way everyone else in my guild can.
"Natsu, wait," I say trying to stop him but I am too late.
Natsu pulls his fist back and punches the guy straight in the face, thankfully thought without any magic on it. The guy gets catapulted into the air ten feet back. Natsu is about to go after him to beat him up more and I can't let that happen.
I jump up quickly and throw my arms tightly around his stomach. "Come on Natsu, he is not worth it," I say desperately trying to calm him down. It is not working. I can tell because his back is still tense, usually when I hug him he relaxes right into my embrace.
"Lucy, let go," he says tightly.
"No, not until you calm down and promise me you are not going to go over to where he is and beat him up even more," I tell him, hugging him tighter so he can't shake me off.
"But he insulted you, he has to pay. How can you stand there and hold me back," he asks incredulously.
"Thank you for defending my honor, but I can fight my own battles. Why should I care about something someone I don't even know says," I tell him in a testy voice, telling him I mean business.
It seems my words manage to register in him because I can feel him starting to calm down. It takes a little while until he is completely calmed down though. "Okay, okay, I promise not to go and attack the guy. Just let me go," he says now calmed.
He sounds sincere enough so I comply and let go. When I let him go he turns to face me. Oddly enough, his face is pink even though I can make out no sign of anger from him. I brush it off, at least he is calm. Now that he is calm there will be no problem if I blow my top.
"What in Kami's name were you thinking getting into a fight," I yell at him and he cowers back in response. "Do you want to get us thrown off the beach? You are not allowed to get into another fight today. These people can't take a punch like our guild can. You should have known better. That guy would have left soon enough anyway. You can't go punching everyone who insults me," I scold him hopping it will actually get through his thick skull.
"I am never going to sit around while you get insulted, never," he says staring at me so intensely with his onyx eyes that I blush and am forced to look away.
"Natsu,"I say, looking at him sternly. I have made grown men cower with this look.
But he doesn't budge. "Never," he says unrelentingly.
I stare at him helplessly and just give up seeing as I am not going to get anywhere with him. "There's no winning with you, is there?" I ask him; shaking my head in dismay He grins at me and shakes his head. "Come on, let's go back to our spot, no one will dare bother us now," I tell him and I then proceed to drag him back. "And this time don't leave without saying anything," I ask of him exasperatedly, not wanting the possibility of a repeat of this situation.
"Okay Lucy," he says grinning at me.
I lie back down on the towel and relax all over again, and this time I do manage to fall asleep.
What the bunny didn't know was that the dragon was glaring at everyone who dared to even look at her. When the dragon wasn't glaring he was busy looking at the bunny in a way that would have had the poor bunny blushing like crazy. The bunny really should be careful, the dragon is a really jealous and protective person.
I hope you enjoyed it!
