The Rival Popstars

`Chapter 9'

Previously—on the last Chapter of The Rival Popstars…

~Yes, folks…. I am already falling for my pink-haired bestfriend…~

—X—

I thought about what I just said a few minutes ago… Actually that thing I said wasn't so real! It was just a joke so please don't take it too seriously! Sheeshh! If I ever fall with my rival- I swear I would faint and die! I really didn't mean those things I said earlier… I would never ever fall for that jerk! I would die even if I fall for him… Puh-leeze! Natsu probably don't even know I exist! Okay- maybe that doesn't make any sense but- Sheesh I would never fall for my bestfriend just like what I said earlier…

Pfft… I'm just messing with you guys… How could I fall for the pink-haired idiot who turned out to be my rival who I ended up being partners with, got stuck becoming his partner, turned out to be my friends and started becoming bestfriends.

Like- how would I fall for him?! How juvenile I am to fall for my-current rival?! It's so frustratingly stupid of me to fall for a guy like him! Well, which BTW I don't- and if that even happen my whole life- I swear I would puke…

Wait- that sounds familiar… And well- I would never fall in love for that stupid Natsu… Stupid Natsu… Jerk, cocky, childish & stupid Natsu…

I'm still awake and it's like 2:00 o'clock in the morning right now… I bet Cotton Candy is asleep right now.

Why am I even thinking of him? I hate myself… All I wanted to do right now was to grab my phone and call Natsu— for no damn reason at all… I don't know- maybe I was just feeling bored and all…

I ring Natsu's phone number. After three rings the line was picked up.

'What the fuck, Luce?' Natsu said sleepily in the other end of the line.

"Natsu, you awake?" I squeaked.

'I am now…' I heard Natsu yawn.

"Sorry… Just can't sleep…" I mumbled.

'Aww… you miss your idol, huh? That's damn sweet Luce…' I heard shuffling sounds then the phone beeped.

Ugghh… Stupid Natsu.

"Good morning, Luce…" Natsu opened my window.

"Natsu- I didn't ask you to sleep—" I began.

"Shush… I wanna sleep with my fan/bestfriend…" Natsu plopped down my bed and yawn.

"First off, Natsu— I said I wasn't a fan anymore… And why the hell are you gonna sleep with me?" I almost scream but kept my voice down.

"But you're so warm and cozy and you're the one to wake me up remember?" Natsu cling onto my arm.

I yanked my arm up and moved a little farther from Natsu.

Okay, maybe Natsu is right— and I'm lessright…

"Night, Luce." Natsu said behind me.

"Night…" I mumbled.

Not even my notices it— I'm already drifting to a peaceful sleep.

—X—

"Oi, Bubblegum wake up." I shook the peacefully sleeping Bubblegum in the airport benches.

"Five more minutes…" he mumbled.

Aaaww… What a cute, cute, cute little-

I pinched his right cheek in adore. Sheeshh… Natsu and his exaggerating cuteness! *squeals*

"The fuck, Luce?" Natsu opened his eyes.

"What?" I sticked out my tongue and pretend nothing in the goddamn world was happening.

"Just admit it Luce… You like me…" Natsu waved his eyebrows while smirking.

My face shifted up in confusion and my face turned beet red.

"F-fuck no… Let's go, fool… The airplane is taking off…" I stuttbled and grabbed my bag. Natsu followed behind me.

"You don't have to deny it, Luce… It's so obvious!" Natsu chuckled behind me.

"I don't know what the hell are you talking about…" I mumbled again.

I did a little speed-walking ignoring every tease Natsu give me.

"Hey Luce! Wait up!" Natsu shouted.

Sheesh! Like who the hell does he thinks he is?! What part of "friend" does he don't understand? His becoming like one of those matchmaking broadcasters who thinks Natsu and I were a "thing"… Like how juvenile do they think they are?!

Natsu and I were just friends… End of the story… Sheesh don't they have anything to matchmake about?

People nowadays are just so effin' rude…

—X—

Breaking News… Lucy and Natsu Dragneel on the board to for another tour in Jamaica… Meanwhile, in the airport— broadcasters hears Natsu Dragneel confesses his love to Lu-

I turned to another channel and looked angrily at Natsu who was peacefully eating an ice cream.

"See what have you done, Natsu?! You just made those fucking retards think we're a couple!" I screamed at Natsu's face.

"What? I didn't did that on purpose! Gildarts asked me to" Natsu continuously munched on his ice cream.

I sighed under my breath and polished my other nail.

"Girls thinks they're so mature…" I heard Natsu mumbled under his breath.

"What did you say?" I asked with a bit of anger in my voice. I shot Natsu and dirty look.

"N-nothing…" Natsu stuttered and put his ice cream on the table.

I moved closer to Natsu making him move backwards.

To my anger- I gave Natsu a good polishing in the face.

"Gosh, Luce… Look what have you done to my beautiful face!" Natsu ran a hand through his hair in dismay.

I let out a chuckle from the look of his face.

"Here, allow me…" I chuckled grabbing a nail polish remover and a piece of cotton.

I dabbed the polish remover gently to his right cheek. I moved a little closer to Natsu holding his left cheek with my hand.

I gave Natsu a quick look. He was— staring at me?

I just realized that we're in such an awkward position… My legs crossed next to Natsu's, my hand on Natsu's face and Natsu's hand on my shoulder.

O.M.G… It's so awkward! My face flushed Natsu did too… But I continued dabbing the polish remover on Natsu's cheek.

Silence filled the air for a moment.

"Stay still…" I mumbled dabbing the cotton in Natsu's flushed cheek.

Breaking News… Jude Heartfilia bank corrupted-

I turned off the television immediately and sighed under my breath. Tears were threatening to fall down my cheeks while I continued dabbing the cotton in Natsu's flushed cheek.

"Luce…" Natsu whispered.

"N-nothing… There all done." I forced a smile and got off Natsu.

Natsu's face scrunched up in confusion.

I stood up and did a little stretching.

"I'm gonna go sleep… You should to…" I went inside my room leaving Natsu dumbfounded in the living room.

I feel so bad…

Yeah whatever….
