Chapter 2: Ater Match
Dragneel Household
Natsu lay on his bed thinking about what happened early tonight and wasn't sure what his answer would be.
Flashback
"Listen Natsu."
"Okay I'm listening"
"I-I-I like you!"
"Huh?"
"I said I like you!"
Natsu was shocked with what Lucy said. Natsu thought Lucy was joking until he saw her blushing bright red.
"Uh Luce why would you like an immature guy like me?"
Lucy looked up at Natsu as if she was looking for a different answer.
"I don't know. I just feel more relaxed around you the most and you're the only one I can trust."
"Maybe because I'm your best friend and you like me then this could effect our relationship in the future." Natsu became more serious than before.
"Yeah I know about it but I do like you! I feel it!"
Natsu couldn't think what to do. He didn't even know what his own feelings for Lucy is yet.
"Hey Luce can I think about it?"
"Um...yeah sure."
End of Flashback
"What am I suppose to do? I don't know what to say!" Natsu started rolling around on his bed then fell off.
*THUD*
Natsu heard footsteps coming up the stairs and Wendy came in opening the door.
"Natsu-nee are you okay?"
"Yeah but have you heard of knocking before opening the door?"
"Oh sorry Natsu-nee but I thought you might of been kidnapped."
Natsu got up and walked to Wendy.
"Don't you worry. Nothing can take me away so shouldn't be that concerned." Natsu patted Wendy's head and gave her a warming smile.
"Okay Natsu-nee and do you want a snack is what momma said."
"Yeah sure I'm hungry!" Natsu was quite hungry since Loke and Lisanna pretended to go to the toilet and they didn't order. "Just wait let me make a phone call okay Wendy?"
Heartfilia Household
Lucy was at her desk trying to think about what happened. She was impatiently looking at her phone and wrote in her diary.
"Why did I have to say something so stupid! I didn't know what happened and what controlled me when I said it to Natsu!"
*DING DONG*
"I'm coming!" Lucy ran down her spiral stairs and walked over to the door and opened to find Loke.
"Baby why'd you leave so early?"
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell Loke that we're breaking. Oh well I can say it now." Lucy thinking.
"Listen Loke I have to te-"
Loke broke the talk with a kiss on Lucy's lips.
"I love you Lucy baby! I know what you're going to say and I want you to stay with me!"
"Loke? Why? How did you know?"
"Lis-Someone told me that you were going to break up with me."
"I should anyway! You kissed Lisanna and what made it worse was that she was Natsu's girlfriend!"
"Look, she kissed me! I was forced to kiss her! Please stay with me!"
Lucy thought about it and noticed if she dates Loke again then Natsu and her relationship can remain the same.
"Fine Loke but I don't want you to cheat on me again!"
Loke nodded and hugged Lucy then left.
School
Natsu walked to school alone today and for the past 1 week. He was really bored with no one to talk to. He remembered how fun it was just talk normally with Lucy but she wasn't here with him. Natsu got to school acting as cheery as his always been. It took him a 30 minutes to get to class with all the students asking for his autograph.
"Hey Flamehead!" Gray walked over to Natsu.
"Oh Icebrain what's up!"
"There you go on with the icebrain name"
"You started it first!" Natsu and Gray joked around then fist pumped each in respect.
"Hey Salamander!" a tall and huge guy stood infront of Natsu.
"Woah Gajeel you look so much like Laxus up close!"
"No I don't!" The 3 laughed in their little corner.
They were interupted by a messy Lucy.
"Lucy! Why are you so late!"
Natsu could see someone behind Lucy then noticed it was Loke. Just then he felt really jealous. "I feel so torn why? I guess I do have feelings for Lucy but I can't tell her that!" Natsu mentally slapped himself.
"So Natsu I heard you broke up with Lisanna!" Jellal jumped into the chat which surprised everyone. Then at a wrong time Lisanna came in which then some people dragged Lisanna to my area.
"Natsu is it true that you broke up with Lisanna?"
"Yes and are you some kind of papparazzi?"
Lucy heard on the conversation then held Loke's hand tight.
Loke let go of Lucy's hand and walked over to the crowd and then dragged Natsu by the collar then pulled him out to the other corner.
"Gajeel, Jellal and Gray cover me and Natsu."
"Yes sir!" the 3 said in sync.
"Natsu why are you breaking up with Lisanna?"
"Because she cheated on me with you! What else?"
"Listen that was just for one night! Never again!"
"I just can't believe that Lucy's still dating you! I guess I'm not truely her friend am I? I don't know anything about her." Natsu stopped listening to Loke and walked back to his chair blocking out everyone who tried to talk to him.
It's lunch now. Levy looked at Natsu then back at Lucy.
"Hey Lucy go cheer up your friend" Levy nudged Lucy.
"I don't think his in the mood though since he ignored Loke" Lucy was really uncomfortable because of what she and Natsu talked about and now that shes dating Loke again.
"Lucy your the only one to cheer him up! Go on and inspire!" Lucy was freaked out when she saw sparkles gleam in Erza's eyes then she nodded. Lucy walked up to Natsu in a very nervous way.
"H-hey Natsu! What's wrong?"
"Oh Lucy it's you!" Natsu gave Lucy a slight smile to show her that he was okay. "But I can't believe you'd still go out with Loke after him kissing Lisanna and...that..."
Lucy stood there frozen for quite awhile then awoke from it.
"Anyway I don't care anymore, I'm going to focus on my career, my family business and the soccer team in my life starting now." Natsu went to everyone in the class who were soccer players and took them out of the class for a practise match against Sabertooth High. Jellal, Gajeel, Loke, Gray, Jet and Droy followed Natsu to the pitch.
"Guys do you want to watch the boys play against our rival?" Erza said with those sparkley eyes again. It definately creeped everyone out.
"Sure then but lets call Mira and Cana to come too." Juvia and Levy agreed to the plan and Lisanna said she'd come on but would leave after the first goal.
Fairy Tail High Soccer Pitch
Lucy and the girls sat on the bleachers and on the opposite side they could see some of Sabertooth's supporters. Fairy Tail's side was full since Natsu and the gang participated. Fairy Tail had a red uniform while Sabertooth had a blue uniform. Natsu wearing the captain's band was a foward with Gray, Jellal, Jet and Loke were the midfielders, Laxus, Gajeel and Bickslow were the defenders and Freed was the goal keeper. Natsu walked up to the Sabertooth's team captain.
"Nice to play with you guys again Sting. No hard feelings who wins the tournament okay?" They both shaked hands.
"Okay but I do want to settle that Sabertooth is the best soccer team in all of Fiore."
"Not a chance Sting!"
The match started with a kickoff. Lisanna left after 20 minutes of the game since Natsu's team were the first to score. There were lots or cheering, now it came to half time, the team went off to cool in the locker room and the girls went to help them.
"You guys! Cheers! You got the first point and is leading!"
"Mira you should know that we only scored 1 point and they can take that 1 point away!" Laxus stressed out.
"Come on Laxus you're really doing your best! I mean we haven't let in a single goal!" natsu cheered up Laxus with his cheery leadership.
Gajeel walked over to Levy and they started talking.
"Hey Gajeel"
"Sup Levy...Do you want to go eat dinner later?"
"Yes!" They both stared into each others eyes. They were interupted.
"Gajeel don't hit on girls before the second half!" Jellal said as his co captain.
"Come on Jellal let him have fun for awhile I mean Sabertooth is tough and you should have fun as well." Natsu tried to cover for Gajeel.
"Fine Natsu." Jellal walked over to Erza and they started talking.
"Yo Natsu!"
"Hey Gray, I think I just found 2 new couples"
"Dude no way! Gajeel and Levy? Jellal and Erza?"
"We should get them together."
"Seriously?"
"Hey I want my team to be happy."
Natsu and Gray had a plan which made Lucy suspicious but she didn't care.
"Cana wheres Loke?"
Natsu walked up to Lucy.
"If you want to know where Loke is his gone out of the locker room with some Sabertooth chick...oh shit it's a Sabertooth CHICK! Guys Loke's been set up! Hurry let's go!"
The team ran out of the locker room leaving all the girls behind. The girls could her Natsu and his team arguing with Sabertooth outside in the hallway. So the girls went out to see.
"Rogue let us in!"
"I'm sorry but Fairy Tail people can't come in."
"You have Loke in there, LOKE ARE YOU IN THERE!"
"Give him back!" Gray was shouting.
Then Sting came out carrying Loke by the shirt.
"This guy came sneaking into our room and was hitting on my girlfriend!"
Natsu took Loke out of Sting's hands.
"I'm sorry Sting it's just this guy is...well...he likes fooling around with girls even though he has a GIRLFRIEND!" Natsu screamed in Loke's ear.
"Okay okay it was just for fun and come on I'm tired."
Natsu dragged Loke back to the locker room with his team. Lucy was torn up by what Loke did and ran back to the locker room trying to look like she didn't know what happened.
Natsu started yelling at Loke. "I can't believe that you're hitting on another girl when you're dating my best friend!"
"I thought you're not best friends since you don't know her well."
Lucy overheard the coversation and walked up to the crowd and asked "What's wrong?"
"Nothing Luce. It's just that Loke won't be playing soccer for a while."
The team went on the pitch with Loke as a sub and Droy replacing him. In the end Fairy Tail won by 3-2.
Fairy Tail Party Hall
"Natsu that was a close call but with your leadership we won!" Laxus patted on Natsu's back.
"Thanks but it was all Jellal's doing since his the playmaker"
"Heck it's everyone's doing!" Gray raised a drink up high.
"No alchol though."
All of them laughed. "CHEERS!"
Principle Makarov came in.
"Yeah let's drink some beer! It's on me!"
"We're going to the nationals! Cheers!" Natsu screamed with beer in his hand.
Gajeel went over to see Levy.
"So Gajeel congradualations!"
"Thanks but a still want to kick some more Saberbutts!"
"That's the beer talking isn't it?"
"Well yes but I know that this isn't." Gajeel grabbed Levy by the waist and kissed her with her kissing him back. Natsu noticed and started cheering for them with everyone joining in. Gajeel gave them a success sign and walked to a seat with Levy talking.
"Well Natsu you were right with Gajeel and Levy but I wonder about Jellal and Erza?"
"Don't worry I'll set that up now. Just watch."
Natsu walked up to Jellal and whispered something then Jellal nodded. Natsu then walked to the direction of where Lucy and her friends except for Lisanna and Levy.
"Erza,"
"What is it captain?"
"I don't like the name captain and- Wait that's not what I came here for."
"You want me to go out with you?" She chuckled a bit.
"Ha ha very funny no but what's wrong with dating me?!"
"Not my type?"
"Anyway do you like Jellal?"
"Huh?" Erza blushed a bit.
"Ohhhh so you do huh?" Natsu smirked.
"You like Jellal don't you?"
"I-I-I think."
"If you don't tell me then I won't tell you what Jellal feels."
"Fine I do!"
Natsu walked away then came back with Jellal.
"Go on Jellal. Say what you feel."
"But!"
"This is and order from the captain!"
Natsu gave the girls let-the-two-be-alone look. Then walked back to Gray.
"I bet that this is going to be a success!"
"I don't know I mean what if-"
The two saw Jellal and Erza kiss. Then Natsu grinned to prove his point.
"Fine you win Natsu."
Gray walked away and headed towards Juvia to talk to her about ice and water. Then Natsu saw Lucy walking over to Loke. "I bet Loke's gonna get dumped!" Nastu then drank his beer.
"Um Loke?"
"Oh babe hey!"
"I really need to talk to you"
"Yeah sure! Anything for you!"
"We need to break up like now" Lucy looked really upset that she didn't want to look at Loke.
"Great so I get beat up by Sting, got banned from playing soccer 'for a while' by Natsu and now get dumped by you?"
"Yeah that's basically the story Loke, I'm sorry"
"Doesn't matter anyway cause I'm dating Lisanna now" Loke walked away in a stroppy mood and passing Natsu.
"Woah what's the matter with that guy?" Natsu brought Lucy a beer.
"Thanks Natsu and I broke up with Loke"
"I know that"
The 2 laughed and talked for a while. A couple of minutes later Laxus and Mira walked up to them.
"Laxus are you drunk?"
"No...way! Capfin!"
"I'm sorry but Laxus is drunk and I need your help to take Laxus to the car." Mira was struggling to hold Laxus.
"Yeah sure we were going to go home anyway" Lucy agreed to Natsu.
Outside the School
Natsu carried Laxus all the way to Laxus' car and put him down in the back seat.
"So Mira are you and Laxus dating?"
"Oh um...I guess you can say that?"
"I see so now there are 4 couples."
"4? whose the other 3?"
"First is Elfman and Evergreen, then Gajeel and Levy and then Jellal and Erza"
"So you learnt my skills huh?"
"You retired now I will matchmake people"
Mira looked at Natsu and Lucy then whispered something into Natsu's ear to make him blush then drove off.
Walking home
"It's been quite a while since we got to walk home together right?"
"Yeah we used to walk to school together too"
Natsu stopped when he remembered something important.
"What's wrong Natsu?"
"I have something to tell you, something important..."
Gajeel and Levy and Jellal and Erza are finally couples!
What is Natsu going to say?
Please review!
