Lucy and Sting first went to a coffee shop nearby the beach. It was windy and Lucy enjoyed the smell of the salty air. Sting laughed at her enthusiasm and ordered them a garden salad and four seasons juice. While the food was being settled on the table the waiter accidentally dropped Sting's drink Lucy took out her handkerchief and helped wipe of the stain on Sting's shirt. The waiter apologized as he pocked up the glass and came back with a new refreshment.
Lucy talked to Sting mostly about Yukino, during their after grad. She turned the subject all the time when sting tried to put it on her. She had to prevent saying any confidential information regarding her mission. Sting kept talking about his achievements as well, how his mafia was doing and the members in it. He mentioned Rogue a close friend of his.
Lucy tried to ask how Sting's mother was but he kept smiling instead and again changes the subject every time she asks about it. The conversation went on during lunch and was rather awkward. Many times did Sting ask about Fairy Tail and the people in it but Lucy tried to keep all information low profiles she would mention most of the time the funny side of her familia and prevent any leakage of their missions. It was obvious Sting had a motive for this conversation but Lucy was too smart for that.
During there conversation Natsu was also sitting in the cafe. He took out a newspaper and punched two holes in it. He aimed his eyesight perfectly in the hole and targeted it to a view of Lucy.
He wore an earpiece at his right earlobe hearing the conversation. The waiter came with a bill to his coffee, he thanked him and tipped him with a great amount from his request.
Natsu smiled thinking how well he planned all of this out. He brought in an earpiece connected to the micro gadget he requested the waiter to place under the table while making a diversion of spilling Sting's drink.
Now he can hear almost everything.
"So tell me Sting.." Lucy began asking questions. "How is it that a friend of mine and almost the same age as I am become a Don of a mafia?" She smiled cupping her hands on her cheeks while leaning her elbows on the table.
"Ohh, well long story short I was well acquainted with the gang then I thought of a remarkable idea to put up a family." Sting smiled as well.
"Hmmm, well it is rather suspicious that someone really young like you would have the power to create a mafia in an instant. I heard you just started last month with your first public mission" Lucy returned with a look of interest.
Sting knew where was this coming from he replied "well done, you've researched didn't you, Lucy. Well it's not like I didn't expect that from the beginning" he smirked.
Lucy shrugged and crossed her arms and legs. "My expertise." She smiled.
Natsu felt anger rushing to him again "what is she doing flirting?!
Man! Why do I even like this woman! Such a pain in the ass!" He sighed at his hopelessness. He talked to himself for awhile "damn you idiot, it's your fault for playing hard to get". Suddenly Sting looked at his way and noticed from afar Natsu's pink hair sticking out from the news paper. Natsu took his news paper higher covering his upper body.
Sting suddenly felt that they were being watched and he was right, he saw Natsu's pink hair from across the table. Lucy was too busy sharing her adventure with Yukino while sting purposely dropped his fork on the ground.
"Ahh, sorry. How clumsy of me." Sting said childishly. He bent to get the fork and saw the micro gadget attached under the table's ring. He carefully removed it with out Lucy noticing his actions. Natsu started to hear crunching noise from his earpiece. Then suddenly it became loud a "thud" then squeaking noise was heard then the gadget came out silent. Natsu tried to see what had happened and saw that Sting took out his micro gadget and was currently squishing it unto the floor. Natsu clenched his newspaper tightly trying to restrain himself from coming up to them and punching him on the face. What made him much angrier was when Sting tried to make a move on Lucy.
Sting laughed at Lucy's joke and moved his hand closer to Lucy's hand almost touching each other's fingertips. "I'm really glad we're able to talk casually like this." Sting said with flirtatious eyes which made Lucy feel uncomfortable as she shifted her hand under the table and unto her lap and smiled in agreement.
Sting smiled and stood up. "Well then.." He looked at his watch "we have 3 hours left before the curfew" he offered her his hand.
Lucy refused and stood up on her own. She smiled at him and asked "so where are we going next?" Lucy held her purse with both hands preventing from letting Sting hold them due to the failed attempt back there. She walked towards the car while Sting placed his hand on Lucy's waist. Lucy flinched then Sting asked "what's wrong?"
Lucy shook her head she chuckled "nothing".
Natsu saw all of this and crumpled his newspaper to the ground from his anger. Then suddenly Sting looked at him which shocked Natsu.
Sting showed a playful grin while putting his arm around Lucy's waist. He winked and stuck out his tongue with amusement. This left Natsu in range. He stood up and gladly told himself "fuck it! I'm gonna interrupt there date." He rushed to his car and followed them quickly.
Lucy stepped out of the car and saw the giant ferris wheel. "An amusement park?" Lucy asked as if she was being treated like a child.
Sting laughed "sorry! This was the place I last brought Yukino when we were young. I was thinking you might have the same taste in dates."
Lucy chuckled nervously "haha first of all you never mentioned this was a date. I thought it would just be a friendly hang out, second you've got it all wrong. I'm not particularly a fan of amusement parks." She sighed.
Sting felt a little bit bad inside "aw, well do you wanna go some place else?"
Lucy looked at her watch "nah, besides we've got a few hours left, let's just check things out"
Sting laughed and suggested they'd go to that romantic boat ride but Lucy showed a disgusted face making him all the more laugh.
Natsu arrived behind not long after they entered the park. He took on his fake spectacles and put on a hat to disguise himself he wore a jacket and entered the park.
Lucy just followed Sting around he kept pointing romantic rides and horror booths but Lucy kept declining. "What's wrong with this idiot?" She scratched her head.
"One second he acts like a friend the second he's someone who's in love with me" she sighed at her tiring situation. She suddenly thought of Yukino "man wouldn't she be happy if she were in my shoes now." She giggled to herself making Sting notice.
"Ahh. I see you're happy despite us not taking any ride yet." Sting said while crossing his arms.
"Sorry it's just the rides you suggested were awfully awkward and not my taste." Lucy said trying to dodge the conversation.
Sting pinched his forehead in thought, then he snapped "ahh okay then how bout the roller coaster!"
Lucy flinched and gulped. "What?"
"Ah ha! Okay then the roller coaster it is!" Sting smiled widely.
Lucy tried to back out but he kept pushing her in.
Natsu kept following them seeing that Lucy wasn't that interested any longer made him feel relieved. Then as soon as Sting dragged her suddenly Natsu felt that something was up. He ran straight to where they were heading and saw they rode the roller coaster.
Upon Natsu seeing the ride already made him sick. He ran to the nearest trash can and vomited all the way. He looked and saw Lich screaming and Sting laughing merrily at the front row seat of the ride and he told himself "Man, bless them both for being brave." He wiped his saliva and threw his used handkerchief in the waste bin and waited in the shady area for Lucy and Sting to get out of the ride.
"Wohoooo! That was awesome wasn't it Lucy?" Sting raised his arms like an overexcited child.
"Yeaaaaaah" Lucy said with a not so hyped up tone.
"Next up is the photo booth! Come on!" Sting dragged Lucy to the arcade area when Lucy suddenly stopped in her tracks just as they were a few meters away from the photo booth. And worst the photo booth was a love-love photo booth where couples take their photos and add heart templates or romantic canvasses.
While Sting was inserting tokens in the machine Lucy suddenly shouted in frustration, "W-wait Sting! Why do we need a photo? And why in this booth?!" She wasn't really into these kind of stuff especially she's never had a boyfriend. She wanted her photo booth experience with these kinds of theme would be with someone she loved not by someone who has annoyed her for a single day. Call her weird but that's how she preferred things were.
Sting puppy dog eyed Lucy "pleeaaase, I want a souvenir! Plus it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Come on now!"
Lucy felt really irritated, this was going out of hand. She faked a headache and said "ah damn I need water."
Sting looked at her "whaaat, but the drinking stations are far away! After the photo then!"
Lucy scrunched her eyebrows "nope, I need water now." She added a groan in her voice to add an effect that she really looked like she had a headache.
Sting gave in and said "okay wait here. I'll get some."
As Sting walked away Lucy sighed in relief then suddenly two hands pulled her into the love-love photo booth machine.
"What the- NATSU!?"
"Shhhhh!"
Natsu checked out of the curtain to see if Sting was around.
"Natsu why a-" Natsu covered her mouth and said "First of all why did you agree to this?! Second, why the fuck are you flirting?! Third what the hell is wrong with you!? Then.. Ummm"
"Fourth." Lucy sounded sarcastic.
"Yes fourth, uhmm...well this!" What happened next was what Lucy didn't anticipated. Natsu crashed his lips to Lucy's while she gave out moans trying to resist. It was just like back then when he did it to her during the lunch event.
Natsu licked Lucy's mouth demanding entrance and Lucy let him. As things began hotter Lucy suddenly moved backwards making Natsu grab onto whatever was behind her, Little did he know he accidentally pressed the button starting the machine. Sting's tokens were accepted and the camera started locating the couple at sight.
Natsu kept kissing Lucy, touching her back and feeling her hands roaming around his body. All over again Lucy felt the electricity and the heat she had always felt when she was with Natsu. They stopped to catch their breath but continued in an instant. Lucy hands were in Natsu's pink locks roughly pulling them. Natsu felt so much pleasure making out with Lucy, his hands roamed around her back feeling the smoothness through her clothes. Suddenly while making out the machine sounded..
"3..2..1 kaching, kaching, kaching, kaching"
During those four shutter noises Lucy and Natsu stopped kissing and wondered where and what that came from. Lucy looked at the screen behind her and saw her and Natsu's love photo. Two was both of them kissing and the third and fourth photo was them looking confused and directly at the camera as if they were caught doing a scandal.
Lucy blushed furiously "WHAAAAT!" She tried to cover the screen with her arms but Natsu just shoved them.
"Wow Luce! You look pretty hot in that one!" He pointed at the third photo where Lucy looked at the camera seductively after releasing her tongue from Natsu's mouth.
"Shut up!" Lucy shouted.
"Printing now..." The machine's robotic voice sounded once more. Lucy and Natsu waited inside for the printed photo but nothing came. Lucy needed to get that before other people saw.
"What the hell?! Where is it?!" Lucy searched panicking inside he booth. "Natsu where the fuck is it?! Help me! No one should see that?!"
"How the hell should I know!? I've never fucking done this?!" He exclaimed.
Natsu and Lucy searched all the holes inside the machine then suddenly they heard a kid's voice from outside.
"Mommy! Mommy! Look at this photo!"
"Oh god no! Was it printed outside!?" Lucy cupped her face at embarrassment she went outside and saw a kid pointing over at a hole near the screen at the exterior of the booth.
"Waaaah!..." She grabbed the photo. "Nothing to see here!" She hid the photo behind her and smiled at the kid.
The kid looked at her unamused "perverted grown ups" he said and walked away to his mom.
Natsu went out of the booth and took the photo on Lucy's hand. "we sure do make a sexy couple" he said while staring at the photo.
Lucy panicked once more and tried to grab the photo from his hand but Natsu dodged her attacks and blocked her with his other arm.
After all the noise they were making they failed to notice Sting entering the Arcade.
"Luuucy, her I-" Sting saw Natsu. "Oh there you are. I was starting to worry you lost track of us." Sting said to Natsu.
"Whaaaat did you say? You mean you knew he was following us?!" Lucy asked
"Hmm not from the beginning, well sort of.. I saw him when we were at the cafe and I sorta thought this would be fun if he kept following us." Sting said confidently.
"Sting! You should've told me! And you!" She shifted her look to Natsu "why the hell were you following us?!"
"Because I don't trust men like him."
Natsu looked heavily at Sting. "Plus it was pretty obvious he was hitting at you!" He explained to Lucy.
"Don't be silly! Sting's just a friend!" She looked at him. Sting fell quiet and as he was about to speak a familiar voice butted in
"Lucy? Sting-kun?"
