Ok, It's been awhile since I updated this, and I thought of a cute little thing, so here we go :) I hope you enjoy!
Natsu wasn't sure how to put his emotions in words. Annoyed? Oh yeah. Aggravated? For sure. Ready to punch Gray in the stomach and rip out his vocal chords because he just wouldn't shut up? Most definitely.
It seemed Gray, Levy, Gajeel, and Juvia were scheming to get him to meet some friend of Levy's. If they were trying to set him up on a date... Natsu sighed in exhaustion at the thought. He wasn't one for romance. Never was, Never will be, he told himself. He was content with the friends he had.
Gray was blabbing with Gajeel about "poor little Dragneel won't know what hit him~" and "He'll probably faint~" And Natsu was staring at his phone (scratch that, he was glaring) hoping they would disappear soon. So maybe he wasn't TOTALLY content with his friends...
Lucy was frantic. She'd never been on a date before, let alone a blind date! Well, it technically wasn't a date, but Levy made it sound like one. She wasn't about to show up to a date under dressed. So she grabbed a black and red dress that clung close to her hips and legs, and a pair of black heels. She made sure she wore just enough make-up and pulled her hair up into an updo.
The whole way to the restaurant, Levy said how she didn't have to dress up THAT much, but date or not, Lucy dressed to impress. She was a woman of fashion and high society, thus, if she won another heart today, she certainly didn't mind.
She was knocked out of her thoughts, literally, as she bumped into someone. She almost fell over, but said person grabbed her arm before she could. "Whoa!" He said, pulling her upright "You ok there..?"
Lucy looked up, and came face to face with dark obsidian eyes. Despite the dark color, there seemed to be a fire alight behind them. She held back a blush as she stepped back to fully see the person, and saw a spiky pink-haired boy, who was stood in front of two other guys.
Her eyes widened when she saw those two guys were "Gray?! Gajeel?! What-?!"
Gajeel grinned "Well, bunny girl, this is our shorty friend, Natsu~" and with a harsh shove, the pink haired boy (who really was a great deal shorter than the other two) was pushed into her.
Lucy turned to her backup girls, Levy and Juvia, but found blank spots of where they were. "Gone?!" Lucy cried out. Before turning back again to the guys.
Natsu's face was completely red, as he stared at Lucy. It wasn't an intense sultry stare, but more of a "Oh my god!" frantic stare. He turned to Gajeel, enraged. "Y-Y-You..!" He yelled out "What the hell is THIS?!" He then gestured wildly in Lucy's direction, who blinked in confusion.
Gajeel huffed, crossing his arms "A girl? What, you never seen one before?"
Gray chuckled from next to him "Probably not, what with his poor sex-life~"
A vein popped on Natsu's forehead, before he punched Gray in the shoulder "WE'RE 13! WE HAVE NO SEX LIVES!"
Gray shrugged dismissively, before crossing his arms as well. "Well at least I have a girlfriend..."
The pinkette rolled his eyes "And at least I don't give a shit."
Gajeel pushed the two feuding friends apart "Hey, Listen, We didn't ASK her dress up. Maybe she just REALLY wanted to meet you. Either way, she's your problem now. Go in, go eat, and walk her home. Bye." and with that he dragged Gray away, leaving the two standing there awkwardly.
Finally, the night was nearly over... Natsu was so embarrassed the whole time, because she decided to look like a-a supermodel! He was just wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and converse. And he swore he heard people make comments about his state of dress the whole time at dinner, and even as they walked home.
"This was incredibly awkward..." Lucy finally spoke for the first time since they left the restaurant.
Natsu nodded, with a grim expression "mm..."
More silence.
"I like your shirt."
Natsu's eyes widened, and his head snapped toward her. "M-My shirt?"
She smiled and turned to poke his chest, where a cartoon dragon was printed on his shirt, and words underneath saying "Sorry, I only speak dragon"
"I think it's cute~" The blonde said, before turning to look forward again.
Natsu was silent for a moment as he processed this. "Thank you... I was certain you thought I just looked like some huge dork..." He mumbled
Lucy glanced back up at him "No, I shouldn't have gotten carried away and dressed up so much..."
They stopped as they reached her door, and Natsu felt his throat tighten as he looked at Lucy again. Oddly, he felt like he didn't wanna be apart from her.
"Well, bye! Thanks for today, I had a lot of fun~" And with that Lucy ran up the stairs to her door "I'll see you in class tomorrow!" were her last words.
...
Natsu couldn't believe he was in the same class as this amazing girl, and never even realized it.
