Nalu One Shot 2
"Come one Lu you have to go!"
This had been the fourth time TODAY that Levy had tried to get me to go to some stupid concert. She kept talking about how it was front row and a meet and greet ticket for the famous singer Natsu Dragneel. Sure, I listened to his songs, and I knew a few, but I wasn't going to die for the dude! Levy only wanted to go because the lead guitar was none other than Gajeel Redfox. I don't know how she had gotten tickets, but it seemed I was fated to go.
"Levy… Why don't you ask someone who really likes this Natsu guy. I don't want to waste your tickets..." The blue haired petite girl scoffed and shoved a ticket in my hands. "I am NOT taking no for an answer. I hope you know some songs because we are going to be singing along all night!"
I rolled my eyes and we continued to talk about Natsu Dragneel and how 'hot' he looked. I will admit, the man is freaking hot, but I don't base people off looks. I care about personality. She told me that the concert was TONIGHT, and that I had to find something nice to wear since it was a meet and greet… I didn't listen.
"Please tell me you brought something to change..." I smirked as I got in Levy's car and put my hair in a no part ponytail. Levy wore an orange dress with a white ribbon on the waist and a white bandana with an orange flower on the side (I know, I changed it up a bit)... I wore some skinny jeans and a hoodie. Underneath was a nice T-shirt which hugged my sides, but I didn't like it, so a black hoodie was born baby! Don't judge my dress habits!
We arrived at the concert place and I watched with wide eyes as lights lit up the sky. I saw green lights, purple ones, pink ones, and more! I had to hand it to this guy, he knew how to party.
We walked in and I gasped at all of the people. The logo of Natsu Dragneel's band, the Slayers, was a red dragon, and boy did people hype that up. I saw people paint red all over their bodies! One girl with white short hair had red wings on her back. I smiled at her when we made eye contact and she smiled back. I told her I loved the wings and she laughed saying it was a dare.
I found out her name was Lisanna, and she "knew" the singer of the band. I laughed thinking she was joking, but she didn't seem happy to know this member… weird.
Levy told me the concert was starting so we got to our front row seats. I don't know why, but I studied all of the Slayers songs, learning the lyrics. I know, I know, pointless… but Levy told me to learn some songs, and I got in for free so I had to do SOMETHING.
The lights suddenly turned off and the ENTIRE stage was silent. People whistled here and there, and I could feel my heart rate increasing. Suddenly a slow beat played. The drummers lights turned on, and there was Jellal Fernandes, the greatest drummer ever! He simply tapped the base pedal of the drum in a steady beat and looked at the ground. People screamed and it slowly went down until another light shown through.
The bass player, Wendy Marvell, the youngest and only girl in the band. She is known for her bass solos, something that doesn't happen often. I recognized the song instantly as Believer. (The Slayers is based off Imagine Dragons lol, going to the concert in July!)
Her head hung low as well, and I found myself clapping and whooping for her. When everyone stopped cheering, another spotlight shone on the lead guitar, Gajeel Redfox. I suddenly heard a high pitch squeal next to me and I laughed while clapping, watching Levy go crazy for this long haired pierced man.
All the lights turned off and then shined again, this time another light being added. My breath stopped looking at the lead singer standing there, his sleeveless shirt showing many muscles, and pink hair standing out among everything. I don't know why, but I think I cheered louder for this guy then everyone else.
"Are you guys ready?" His voice echoed throughout the building and people screamed out for him, and I did the same surprisingly. He laughed before looking up. "LET'S GO MAGNOLIA!" He then jumped around stage during the intro of the song and then started singing. I sang along, like many others and Levy laughed and joined in.
After many songs, I found myself without a care in the world, caught in a trance by Natsu. There was something about him… I liked it. Soon it was one of their last songs and Natsu walked toward the front of the stage… right in front of me.
For this next song, I am going to need a fan! Anybody want to join me?" Peoples hands jumped high in the air and I laughed at them. I caught eyes with Levy, who seemed to be...smirking? I was about to ask, when I felt her grab my wrist. "Levy dont you da-" She shot my arm in the air and Natsu's eyes met mine.
My heart sped when he reached out for me. "Care to join me?" I stuttered and my hand shook as I grabbed his. I glared at Levy who was laughing hysterically, but I caught a glimpse at the lead guitar who seemed to have his eyes on the tiny woman.
I still held Natsu's hand as I looked at all of the fans who were clapping for me. I smiled nervously at him, and he laughed and whispered in my ear. "You got stage fright?"
"A little..." I gulped as he squeezed my hand. "Well we are doing a cover song. Do you know any songs to help me sing?" I thought about it before smiling and whispering the song to him. He smiled and nodded before telling the other band members who nodded and got ready.
Truth is, I love singing… just not in front of people. I chose Too Close, by Alex Clare. I had seen many people do duets to that song and when I told the pinkette singer, he told me he knew what I was talking about and not to worry.
The lights went dark and Natsu was going to start. A spotlight shined on him as the band members played their instruments, this time another member, Gray Fullbuster played keyboard.
I listened to his voice and I couldn't help admire the way he sang the song. He was a rock singer, but sang this song so differently… I guess I understand why everyone likes the guy.
"You know I'm not one, to break promises… I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe… At the end of it all, you're still my best friend, but there's something inside that I need to release"
Suddenly another light came on and I squinted at the light on me. People watched with anticipation and I watched Natsu's face as I opened my mouth. "Which way is right,"
People started whistling and everyone clapped. Natsu's eyes widened and then he laughed as I sang the rest of my part. During the chorus we sang together and I harmonized. By the end of the song, I was panting from hitting high notes and people screamed for us.
Once the song was over, I was out of breath and wanting to get back to the crowd. I don't know how singers can do this for hours and hours… Levy was holding up a bottle of water for me and I smiled walking forward.
I headed for my spot in the crowd, but before I could, someone grabbed my hand. "Hey, thanks… for you know, singing with me." His green eyes held so much emotion, and I found a blush creeping up my face. "Uh, yeah! Thanks for inviting me!" I smiled brightly, and he seemed shocked for a moments before he scratched behind his neck and grinned as well.
He led me off stage and people were still clapping. Levy looked at me with wide eyes. "I didnt know you could sing like that!?" I laughed and kept watching the pink haired man.
He seemed flustered and the band members were laughing at him. Gajeel met my eyes and he laughed pointed at me. I blushed as the lights dimmed again and they got ready for their next song.
Soon the concert was over and it was time for meet and greet. My black hoodie stood out against all of the red and white shirts people were wearing. We got in line, about 100 to 150 people back. "Hey Levy how long do we have with the band?" She smirked and nudged me. "5 whole minutes. Is that enough for you two to exchange numbers?" I shook my head with a read face.
I don't even like the guy, why would I want his number!? I guess having a famous singers phone number would be cool… and he is cute in a wa- NO! This guy could be just in it for for the money or something. Besides would he want to be with me,
I blushed and rolled my eyes. "He probably has a girlfriend..." My eyes widened realizing I said that last part out loud and I looked at Levy hoping she didn't hear me, but if you have a best friend, you know… they hear EVERYTHING!
When I said that her smile brightened. "Actually, he just broke up! He is single Lucy!"
"So that it your name! Nice to meet you Lucy!" I looked in front of me to see we were next in line. How long have I been thinking about Natsu!? I realized U needed to say something. Why am I so flustered?
"H-hey! I loved the concert by the way, you are an amazing singer!" Well if that isn't forward I don't know what is… Really Lucy… You are an amazing singer!? How stupid can you get!?
He looked away and smiled sheepishly. "Thanks, but you are AMAZING at singing! We should sing again some time! Oh and I love the hoodie." I looked down at my hoodie which read, "I'm All Fired Up!" I smiled and was about to thank him, but when I looked up again, he brought out a hoodie which was also black and read the same words.
"No way! You love Fairy Tail?!" He stood up and put on the hoodie. "Heck yeah! That action movie has the best fight scenes ever!" I laughed as we talked about the best scenes and how the main character is OP (cough Natsu cough) and realized we had gotten closer and closer to each other. I was now inches from him and I backed away blushing.
We continued to talk, and I found out we had a lot in common. He loves the heat, and loves spicy foods. His favorite color is red, and his favorite restaurant is Strauss and Dreyer. I have never been there actually.
Soon, he started calling me Luce, and in the small five minutes of talking, I felt like I had learned so much about him.
"Ha, Luce you never told me Levy had a thing for Gajeel!" The pink haired boy said quietly while snickering and sure enough when I looked over, Levy was laughing and blushing while Gajeel was comparing their heights.
"All right. Times up, Next!" A bodyguard said. I looked at Natsu and smiled sadly. His eyes held sadness for a moment and then he snapped his fingers. "Stay here until I am done with fans. Trust me." I nodded slowly and walked away, watching a fangirl come and start crying over Natsu. I felt a pain in my heart watching it, but laughed internally at Natsu's reaction. He looked annoyed and tried to get the girl off of him gently, eventually having a bodyguard pry her off of him.
Levy came walking over and she smiled. "How long are we waiting?" She asked and I I shrugged. "No idea." I watched as girls and guys came one by one, some in pairs like me and Levy. It felt like hours when the last girl introduced herself and talked. Soon everyone was gone and Natsu stood up, his hoodie making his hair seem even more pink.
"Hey Luce!" He walked over and I crossed my arms. "It has been two hours Mr. Dragneel!" I couldn't help smiling though and this caused him to laugh even more. He grabbed my shoulders and my eyes widened at the sudden touch.
"So, after every concert, we always go to this restaurant down the street. Do you...want to...well you know, go with?" I giggled at the way he approached the question and realized I had a question to answer. It seems reality hit me hard as I lost all of my words.
He wants to go to a restaurant...with us? Is this a date? No...maybe? Do I want it to be a date? I mean Natsu is super sweet and really funny, not to mention- It seemed Levy was getting tired of this and she took a step forward. "We would love to! Right Lu?" I nodded vigorously after feeling her jab into my side, and I tried to fight the blush in my face.
Natsu grinned, showing his white teeth, and lead us to his car. It wasn't a limo, or a super expensive car, in fact… This thing was a mess. "Sorry for the state of the car. Usually, it is just us..." Wendy looked up to meet our eyes.
"I try to keep it clean as best as I can, but you know… they are VERY messy..." The girl responded and Natsu gave Wendy a pout. I laughed as we got in the two row truck. There was three seats in the front and three in the back."Sorry Jellal couldn't make it. Erza wanted to see him." Everybody shivered and I decided to not press on the subject of this Erza. I sat in the middle next to Wendy and Levy, while Natsu sat in the middle of Gray, who was driving, and gajeel in passenger.
On the way to the restaurant, every time Natsu talked, he would look in review and our eyes would lock. I would get flustered and look away, but I didnt see if he was feeling the same.
Soon we made it to the restaurant and boy, was the food good! I will have to thank the Chef, her name was Mirajane I think. I also felt something different. Everytime I looked at Natsu, I didnt want to look away, it was like this pull to be close to him… What is this...love? Nadal I just met the guy! (Literally me all the time… I am so dense I swear.)
Soon the bill was paid, and Narsu refused any money I offered him. I was yawning and I checked my clock to see it was 8:47. "There is a way you could repay me though." I was shocked at the sudden voice, but realizing it was Natsu calmed me down. I looked at him as Levy and the others went outside. "How?" I asked
He smiled and suddenly got very nervous. He held out a paper with a series of numbers on it. His phone number. "We could keep seeing each other? It's fine if you don't want to, it was a stupid question anyw-" "I would love to!" I yelled instantly. His eyes widened as well as mine, but a smile plastered itself on his face, and I smiled too.
"Great! Meet me here...Tuesday 3:30? I have a break in between practice." I smiled and headed for the doors. It seems Gray and Levy got her car back and it was parked in the parking lot. "It's a date?" I asked trying to sound confident, like in the movies. I dont think it worked, but Natsu didn't notice.
"Yeah! A date! Bye Luce!" I laughed blushing madly as I opened the doors. "Bye Natsu!" Levy saw me and said goodbye to Gajeel. I said goodbye to them and when we got in the car, I noticed levy had a paper with Gajeels phone number on it. "Looks like I am not the only one!" I laughed nudging Levy.
"Make fun of me all you want when we are not in the parking lot with Gajeel in it!" I snorted as she pouted. "Your window is open Shrimp!" I heard a voice said and I knew it was Gajeel, as Levy sped away, making a screeching sound with the tires as she turned.
I looked at the number in my hands and smiled. This is only the beginning…
So that was it! I don't know if I should make a part two, like a date that they would go on, but let me know! I could also just keep writing these too. Have a great day!
