Crazy trouble with love part 4

Aquarius and Natsu

Series: Fairy Tail

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Natsu was walking down the street to visit Lucy.

"Man, I can't wait to see Lucy, she always has good food in her apartment." he said with a grin while feeling his stomach growl.

Soon he reached her apartment building and began to climb up towards her window. He saw it was locked though and huffed annoyed.

"Ugh, Lucy forgot to unlock it again! Guess it's time to use the chimney." he said as he began to climb even higher up the building. He scooted up the chimney and got on the top before dropping down it. He fell until he landed at the bottom and sent out a cloud of soot and ash.

He coughed and waved it away while looking around. "Man, she isn't here." he said as he got up and dusted himself off. He grinned and ran to the kitchen before looking in the fridge. But before he opened the fridge he saw a note taped to the door.

"Huh? What's this?" He said as he picked it up and began to read it out loud. "Natsu, I know you're in my house even though everything is locked. I'm on a date so get out please, and don't touch anything!"

"Aww." He groaned as he crumpled up the note. 'Now what am I gonna do?' He thought as he opened her fridge and began to eat her food.

After a few minutes he felt full and shut the fridge.

"Man, now what do I do?"

That's when he noticed something shiny on the table.

"Huh? Did Lucy leave something here?" He wondered aloud as he approached the table before seeing it was one of her keys. "Huh, I guess she forgot this one here." he said as he picked it up.

He grinned and held up like Lucy usually did. "Open, gate of whatever key this is!" He said as he waved it through the air.

All he got was silence.

"Huh, I guess it's broken." He tried waving it around again. "Come on, work!" he frowned while banging it against the table.

Suddenly there was a bright flash of light from the key.

He covered his eyes and stepped back while hearing a groan in front of him.

"Ugh, why does my head hurt so much?"

He looked up and saw Aquarius on the table rubbing her head. "Huh, so this is your key, Aquarius?"

"Natsu?" she blinked. "I didn't expect to see you. Where's Lucy?"

"She's on a date right now, so it's just me."

"A date?" she blinked twice before bursting out into laughter. "Ahahahahaha! T-T-T-That's rich ahahahaha!"

"Yeah, it kinda is, what with how you leave her to spend time with your boyfriend." he chuckled, not noticing Aquarius becoming silent.

She looked down and turned her back to him while crossing her arms. "Don't mention him."

"Huh, why? Did something happen?"

"No, nothing." she huffed.

"Ok... then why are you acting so different? Usually you're really...self centered...so what changed?" He asked, not wanting to say that she wasn't acting like a bitch as usual.

She frowned and turned to him. "Me and Scorpio broke up alright!"

"Huh, why? I thought you two got along really well?"

"That bastard cheated on me!" She shouted as she slammed her fist on the table, making a hole in it.

"Really?" He said in surprise as she nodded her head. 'Wow, didn't expect that.' He thought as tears began to form in her eyes. "Um, are you gonna be alright?"

"What do you think?!" She shouted at him angrily. "I feel like my whole world is a disaster now!" She cried as she held her head in her hands

Natsu watched while lost on what he could do since he wasn't use to stuff about romance. 'Come on, think, what would the guy do in those books Erza reads do?'

"Stupid Scorpio." muttererd Aquarius with her arms crossed.

"Um...there, there, it'll be alright?" He said as he patted her shoulder.

"How is it gonna be alright?!" She snapped as she glared at him.

"Um...uh...you still have yourself?"

"So? What good is being alone, I want a boyfriend!" She wailed as she went back to crying.

"Well...you could get with Elfman." He offered as she continued to cry. "Or maybe Gray."

"No, I don't want them!"

"...Romeo?"

"He's too young." her eye twitched. "And do I look like a damn pedophile?"

"Elfgreen?"

"I'm not a lesbian either!" She shouted angrily. "I just want a nice guy and to get back at Scorpio!" She cried as he continued to pat her shoulder. 'Wait! That's it!' She thought as she looked at Natsu. "Hey Natsu..."

"Yeah Aquarius, what is it?"

"What say you help me out?" She said with a smile as he looked at her in confusion.

"How?"

"Be my boyfriend!" She said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"...huh?" He said in confusion as the mermaid hugged him.

"If you became my new boyfriend, that'd help me feel a lot better." She said as she held him tighter. 'And I can get back at that bastard too!' She thought with a grin as Natsu looked at her in confusion.

"Isn't that kinda fast?" He asked as he carefully tried to pry her arms off of him.

"Not at all, if anything it'll help me heal quicker." She said as she kept her grip on him.

"How?"

"Well, if I had a sweet and kind guy like you as my boyfriend I can show him I can be happy!"

'Huh, I guess that makes sense.' He thought as he gave up on struggling. "Um...but what do I do?"

"simple, take me on a date, care for my every whim, simple stuff."

"A date?" he looked at her confused.

"Yeah take me on a date Natsu, please?" she pleaded.

Nasty thought for a bit before saying. "Ok, where do you wanna go?"

"Somewhere exciting, but natural." She said as she imagined her and Natsu on the perfect date.

"I got it!"

"Really? Great, where are we going?"

(Later)

"Alright, we're here!" Natsu said, he was carrying Aquarius like a bride.

"Really?" she gave a deadpanned expression seeing they were in front of the guild.

"Yeah, it's perfect!" He said with a grin.

'Only you would think that.' She thought as she rolled her eyes.

They entered with Aquarius seeing it was rowdy as usual.

"Yep, special but still normal, that's the guild allright!" He chuckled as he walked towards the bar with Aquarius. "Hey Mira! Can we get some drinks?" He said as he carefully set Aquarius in one of the seats.

"Sure thing. Oh, I didn't expect to see you out Aquarius-san, where's Lucy?" asked Mira while getting some mugs.

"She's not here, Natsu's taking me on a date!"

That instantly made several members turn their heads with surprise.

"NATSU'S ON A DATE!?"

"HOLY SHIT!"

"IT'S THE END OF DAYS!"

'Overdramatic.' thought Aquarius with a sweatdrop.

"Yeah, of course I have a date, why do you care?" Natsu shouted back.

"Because since when do you date?" asked Gray with a deadpanned expression.

"Shut up, she wanted me to be her boyfriend!"

"...say what?" He said in disbelief, not believing him.

"Yup, we're dating now." spoke Aquarius as Mira set their drinks down.

"Well, congrats then, but I thought you were dating one of Lucy's spirits, Scorpio?"

She frowned and took a quick guzzle from her mug.

"Um, probably best not to mention him Mira." Natsu said nervously.

"Oh, sorry." She said as Aquarius finished her drink.

"Ah, I hope he rots!" she spoke while laying her head on the counter.

"There there Aquarius, he's a bastard who didn't appreciate you." said Natsu as he patted her back.

"You're damn right he is!" She shouted as Mira refilled her drink.

"How did you get summoned though?" asked the model.

"Well, Natsu tried to use my key and banged it on a table."

"...and then?"

"I got tired of him banging on the table and appeared."

'Wow, for a sec I thought Natsu became a celestial mage.' She thought as she watched Aquarius down another drink.

Natsu started drinking his own while Aquarius sighed.

"Natsuuuuu, this date isn't very romantic." she whined.

"Ummm, sorry, what do you want me to do?"

"Do something!" she spoke while shaking him.

"Oookkk!" He said as she kept shaking him.

"I might have a suggestion." spoke Mirajane.

"Really? What is it?" Aquarius asked curiously.

"Some candles, time alone, and music helps." She said as Aquarius began to nod her head.

"That's some good stuff."

"I think I have some candles in back if you want." she offered with a smile.

"We'll take them." She said as she hugged Natsu.

"I'll be right back." Mira said before walking into the back room.

"You sure we need those?" Natsu whispered.

"Yes, this date has to be perfect!" she declared with her face looking a little flushed.

"Ok, if you say so." he said as he shrugged his shoulders.

(Later)

The guild hall had undergone a change, Mira had shooed everyone out, dimmed the lights, set up a table with candles and she was making them a romantic dinner.

'I can't believe girls really like this.' Natsu thought as he tugged at the collar of the new suit Mira had shoved him into. 'But at least she'll be happy, right?' He thought as he looked at Aquarius who was wearing a new black dress Mira had given her which covered her top and tail.

"This is perfect Natsu, the perfect date!" She sighed happily.

"If you say so." he replied while they sat at one of the tables.

"Order up, I made you guys an excellent meal!" Mira said happily. She walked over and set a silver tray between them.

"Alright, what are we eating Mira?"

"Roasted goose." She said as lifted the lid of the tray to show the perfectly cooked goose.

Both smiled at how good it smelled with Mirajane leaving them alone.

'I hope their date goes well, I love this new pairing!' She thought with a smile.

"Let's dig in." Natsu said as he reached for the goose.

"Ah ah." she spoke lightly slapping his hand.

"Ow, what was that for?" He asked as he retracted his hand.

"You can't eat with your hands, it's not clean or polite." She said as she shook her head. "Try and use the silverware for most of it, but you can use your hands for the drumsticks." She said as she picked up a knife and fork and began to carve out a piece of meat for herself.

He looked at them and tried mimicking her. He ended up cutting half of the goose off and plopped it onto his plate.

"Um...that'll work." She said in a sweat drop as she saw the large piece of goose on the plate. She resumed cutting into her own pieces and bit into them while Natsu tried following the same.

It took every ounce of willpower not to toss the fork and knife to the floor and start eating with his hands.

'This is awkward.' She thought, not feeling like it was a romantic date

Natsu saw Aquarius start looking sad and panicked in his head. 'Oh no! Did I mess up already? Do I need to say something nice?' He set down his silverware and tried to think of something to say, anything to make her happy. "Um...you look good in that dress."

"Thank you Natsu, you look nice in that suit," Aquarius said with a small blush, 'Didn't expect the compliment, but at least he said something nice.' She thought with a smile.

'Yes! I helped cheer her up.' he thought as he tried to think of another way to make her happy, thinking back to when Lucy had told him about how to act around a woman. He used the napkin to wipe his mouth and cleared his throat. "So, the weather seems nice."

"Yes, very nice." she said as she thought. 'Really, the weather, am I so boring he's talking about the weather?'

'Alright what else? Oh! I know.' he looked at her in the eye. "So...what do you like doing?"

"Well, I like to swim and mess with Lucy when she summons me."

"Like how you always mention her not having a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, it's funny to see her get annoyed, though now I'm glad I have a better one than that jerk Scorpio."

On the second floor Mirajane was watching the date via a one way transmission lacrima.

"Ooh, it's just like watching a romantic drama!" She squealed as she watched the lacrima while unaware of Lucy walking towards the guild.

"Man, that date was terrible, he was flirting with the waitress half the time!" She moaned. 'Last time I take a date from some random guy.' She grumbled as she neared the guild hall doors. She pushed them open and noticed how more quiet it was.

"Huh, where is everyone, and why is it so dark?" She looked around and tried slowly moving around. "Ugh, why do I have a feeling like this is Natsu's fault?" She grumbled as she barely avoided tripping over a chair before spotting a faint light. 'Why did Mirajane leave only a little light on?' She thought as she began to walk towards it, beginning to smell food as well.

The closer she got the more she could see two people sitting there.

'There are people here? Did they do this?' She wondered, unable to make out their faces yet.

"So what do you like to do when you have free time?" asked Natsu.

"I usually swim around my home, that's the only thing I did besides hanging out with Scorpio."

'Wait, that sounds like-' She thought as she took a step forward and recognized Natsu and Aquarius sitting at a table, like they were on a date. "Natsu?" She said in shock as she stared at the pinkette in the suit, getting both his and Aquarius' attention.

"Lucy?"

"Brat?"

"What's going on here?" She said in surprise and confusion as she walked towards them.

"We're on a date." spoke Natsu.

"What? Why? And how is she here?" She added in confusion.

"Because he's my new boyfriend." she smirked smugly. "You know what that is, right?"

"Wait, new boyfriend? But what about Scorpio?" She asked in confusion as Natsu gulped.

"That jerk cheated on me." growled Aquarius.

"What? Really? I'm sorry to hear that."

"I don't need that two timing bastard!" She shouted as she grabbed Natsu, holding him like a teddy bear. "This guy actually offered to help!" She said happily as she kissed the top of his head.

Natsu blushed while Lucy was stunned beyond belief.

'This is beyond freaky.' she thought as she watched her coldest and bitchiest celestial spirit fawn over Natsu like a schoolgirl. 'You'd think she'd sulk or something.' She thought as she continued to hug and kiss Natsu.
