Me- yep, I'm struggling right now to write some of this chapter since I took my vicodin pill for my wisdom teeth and stuff which should have stopped hurting by now, but it was hurting today so I took it, and now I'm more exhausted then I was before. This is the next chapter upon which more complications arise and Lucy is thinking about the options she has. Possible jealous Natsu in this chapter, and if you didn't notice, Natsu still believes he has feelings for Lisanna, but it's obvious that he harbors his real feelings for Lucy which he's too dense to notice. This chapter is back to the original rating so nothing bad in this chapter like last one, but I did plan a bit where Natsu gets jealous and is starting to slowly realize his feelings for Lucy, but not quite yet, but will he notice those feelings too late.
Invisible
Chapter 3: set-ups and jealousy
To say Lucy was shocked was a bit of an understatement, she was furious. Natsu of all people, whom had just dragged her away from nearly getting raped and a person who had also showed signs of jealousy towards guys who even dared stare at her while completely sending her mixed signals was actually asking her of all people to help him get a date with Lisanna. The blond that was head over heels in love with the dragon slayer was now beginning to doubt her own feelings for him. Lucy knew she had to answer quickly since she had to return to Levy before she worried too much.
"Natsu, what the hell did you just ask me!?" Lucy yelled at him with a booming voice which nearly made his sensitive ears bleed.
"To help me with Lisanna…?" Natsu questioned again, but in less of a determined voice, and more nervous and frightened.
"How about no, and you're on your own. I'm done with you leading me on and making me think like you actually care about me." Lucy scolded him while becoming frustrated at him for even thinking she would help him win Lisanna over when she too loved him. Was she really so invisible that he didn't even notice the way she would gaze at him when he was talking to Lisanna. How stupid and dense was he anyway, obviously very dense and stupid since he barely gets my side of the argument.
"Lucy, what are you talking about?" Natsu questioned her, but she choose to ignore him and change into leather skirt and a white tank top that shaped her figure, matched with black high-heeled boots. Again she was dressed to kill, to angry to worry about the two guys grabbing her again since she was only going to get Levy and go straight to the guild in hopes of removing the feelings she had for Natsu.
"Lucy, what did I just tell you, stop wearing those kinds of clothes, they get to much attention." Natsu barked at the girl who looked stunning in her outfit. He was mad and it was obvious he was jealous, and wanted Lucy to himself, but he would never realize that until it was too late to even gain her attention.
"You're not the boss of me, and beside I'm going to the guild after I retrieve Levy." Lucy spoke up as Natsu blocked her way out and took her wrist and backed her into a wall.
"You're not leaving until you change." Natsu's hand felt hot on her wrist as she cringed from the heat as it proceeded in escalating in temperature. Lucy looked up into his eyes as he glared into her big brown eyes which didn't affect her as she removed his hand and exited through the door anyway. He wasn't her mother or father, and he sure as hell wasn't her boyfriend so why was he acting like a possessive boyfriend.
"Lu-Chan…!" Levy called out as she spotted Lucy whom was leaving her apartment, completely surprised by the fact that Levy was here instead of at the shops where she was last seen.
"Levy, when did you get here?" Lucy questioned as Levy hugged the blond.
"I was looking for you, but when I saw a bunch of scorched men I had figured that Natsu and taken you home to get changed or something." Levy spoke up with her cute way of saying things.
"I can't understand that guy, does he like Lisanna or not?" Lucy questioned while Levy shrugged.
"Want to go to the guild Lu-chan?" Levy questioned the avid blond as she smiled with great enthusiasm.
"You just read my mind because that's where I was going to go after I collected you, but they will think it's weird for me to be there on a Friday since I never go on today." Lucy spoke up as Levy nodded and followed the blond to the guild which took quite a few minutes to walk there, but when they had finally reached the place, a raging Natsu was waiting at the guild doors for Lucy to make her grand appearance in clothing that he didn't approve of.
"LUCE GOT YOU!" He spoke up as he tackled the blond to the ground which made Lucy's top and skirt rise ever so slightly. Her skirt revealing a bit more of her legs, while her top showed off her perfectly flattened stomach. Natsu was laying over her with his hands near her face and his only support while his knee was in-between her legs. It was an embarrassing position which made the two of them blush crimson, and even Levy whom was a viewer of the scene.
Again, the thought process that flew through Natsu's head ran through again with the same strange and intense urge to kiss Lucy whom was flustered with her hair all over the place making her k adorable, not that he would ever tell her that since it would make their friendship awkward.
"Natsu, you can get up now you know, I need to fix my clothes." Lucy spoke up as Natsu finally took notice to her messed up clothing which made Lucy look sexy which was something he didn't want other guild members to see. He let Lucy get up so that she can fix herself up properly, and when she stood up, everything was fixed and back to normal before he knew it. Not to say that he wasn't satisfied at that bit of information, but he couldn't help but be protective of her since she was his teammate after all.
When they entered the guild, everyone had stopped their usual shenanigans in preference to look at the group that just walked in, with a flustered Lucy, Levy, and Natsu.
"Oi, blondie, you're looking hot today, what's the occasion?" The notorious Laxus questioned from his post at the top floor. This emitted a growl from Natsu as he stood in front of Lucy, shading her from site which just confused Lucy even more.
"Thank you Laxus, but not much of an occasion, just mad at someone." Lucy spoke up as she moved past Natsu's figure and to the bar where Mirajane was confused by her arrival.
"Lucy-San, I thought you never come in on Fridays." Mirajane said in a questioning tone of voice. She was surprised to see the blond whom was normally shopping around this time, but upon seeing her expression and Natsu's reaction, she knew that they were fighting.
"I don't, not normally anyway." Lucy spoke up as Levy came over to sit next to the blond while Natsu kept a watchful eye on the guys whom seemed to be struggling to not to look at the blond beauty that was Lucy whom was dressed in a rather sexy attire.
"Lucy, is Flame brain bothering you?" Gray questioned the blond as he came over to Lucy whom was still steaming from her fight with Natsu and the initial embarrassment of what happened prior to entering the guild.
"Gray, you don't know the half of it, I just don't understand him. One moment I'm invisible to him as he converses with Lisanna, then I'm a somebody that he treats like someone he would like but I'm just getting confused. He's sending me all these mixed-signals, and instead of hurting me, he should make up his damn mind who he wants." Lucy ranted as gray just sat next to her and listened intently. Natsu was an idiot for leading a girl like Lucy on; she was a nice girl with the tendency of being violent, but only when her teammates intruded on her privacy, and the violence was always targeted towards Natsu.
"Don't worry about it too much, but shouldn't you and the flame brain be out of the guild right now?" Gray questioned as Lucy looked at the dark haired mage with a puzzled look.
"What do you mean by the both of us being off on Fridays? Natsu always comes on Fridays." Lucy spoke with confusion written all over her face.
"Natsu doesn't come here, at least not anymore. He always tells us he has somewhere to be, and everyone already knows that he go es after you and follows you around on your shopping trips. The first day you started having your Fridays off was the moment Natsu had finally cracked and stopped his conversation with Lisanna to see where you were. The idiot is constantly worrying over you that he never gets to express his true feelings for Lisanna." Gray spoke but stopped as Lucy was near to tears which Natsu immediately noticed while stomping over to the group with an angry look in his eyes. Gray stared at the blond and panicked.
"I'm sorry that I burden him with his feelings then, he doesn't have to worry about my well being." Lucy yelled as Natsu stopped in his tracks. He was the reason for her tears again, and he wasn't even near her this time. Would it be better if he stayed away from Lucy for a while, but Natsu had a hard time even staying away from the blond. It was similar to his urge to be next to Lisanna but sometimes stronger, but that just meant his friendship with Lucy was stronger than anything.
Lucy spun around to see Natsu's face which made her get up and try to run out the guild doors but she was stopped by someone whom was familiar to all of Fairy Tail. It was Sting, from when they were in the Grand Magic Games, and he came alone this time. Natsu despised sting, because Sting would constantly cling to Lucy in a way that irritated the flame user. After the games, Sting became very attached to the blond and tried his best to visit every chance he got, and this was one of those special occasions.
"Sting…" Lucy spoke as Sting quickly noticed Lucy's watering eyes which aggravated him.
"Who made Lucy cry!?" Sting questioned as he looked around the guild. Sting and Lucy had hit it off after the games so it was no surprise that they would of became a couple, but hearing how the guild praised them for looking cute together just made Natsu even more annoyed at SaberTooth's notorious Dragon Slayer.
"I think it was Gray to be honest." Cana, the guilds resident alcoholic spoke up out of amusement. Sting glared at the male as he began to remove his clothing like he always did without realizing it. Sting looked back down at Lucy who had grabbed on to his sleeve and hugged him which he accepted and hugged her back. Natsu couldn't help but rush over and pull her away from his arms and into his, but as soon as he did, she broke out of his grip and just stared into his eyes which softened upon staring into her chocolate orbs.
"Lucy…I…" Natsu began to say but was cut off as Lucy chose to speak first.
"No, I'm done with it, I'm giving up." The statement confused Natsu but to Lucy it meant that she would give up on Natsu fully and help him complete his mission with Lisanna since it would help her get over him.
"What are you…?" Natsu tried to speak but Lucy just looked up with a smile on her face.
"I'll help you get a date with her." Lucy said as Natsu grinned as the excitement of getting a date with Lisanna once he got the date that is.
"Really…!?" Natsu questioned while Lucy merely nodded which made the dragon slayer very happy, but that feeling wasn't as strong as it was before when he would talk to Lisanna. He didn't feel as confident as he did before when he first asked Lucy to help him get a date with his childhood friend. Granted, he wasn't confident then either, but he was more into the idea before. Why was it bothering him this much; he couldn't get a handle on it, he didn't understand why he was skeptical about Lucy decision to help him. It was as if he had hoped she would say she can't and that she's the one he should be looking at, but why would that make the fire breather happy in the first place.
As Natsu thought some more about his dilemma; Sting took the opportunity to talk some more with the blond whom was oblivious to Natsu's inner battle.
"Lucy, you did here about the dance this upcoming Saturday, right?" Sting questioned her as she looked at him as if he were crazy.
"What dance?" Lucy asked the blond boy as he sighed. He thought that she would of known.
"The dance happens every year, and the Friday before the dance is when everyone discusses plans and gets the guest list ready on who will be attending. It's a lot of fun, and every year there's always a pair that becomes a couple by the end of the night. They say that it always happens to the most unlikely pair, and please don't ask why I'm excited, but I am." Sting spoke out while Lucy contemplated the idea of going.
"I guess I never heard of it since every Friday I don't come to the guild, but it does sound like a lot of fun. Don't you need a date though?" Lucy questioned Sting while he blushed crimson. Truth be told he was thinking of asking the celestial mage, but he was positive that Natsu would hit him for asking her, but if Natsu had someone else than Lucy was fair game.
"That's why I came here, will you be my date?" Sting questioned her which had led everyone to stare at Natsu who had turned around right when the question was asked, but what was he thinking?
Me-sorry to end it here but there's more to come, and I hope it's good so far. When the dance comes, there's going to be lots of drama, and dancing, plus singing, and the songs you should know if you've listened to new songs on the radio lately. Just enjoy, and please review. It's much appreciated.
