A/N: Well, the 3rd chapter seemed successful, now for this one. Personally, If I were in this situation I'd feel super awkward. Actually, I felt awkward as I typed it up. Well… It's about time for drama to rise, huh? Ah- more characters should be in this one, right? I mean, we need more side characters besides Gray, Erza, and Mirajane, right? Right!
Main focus: Get Lisanna in! (Almost immediately)
In some of the Natsu x Lucy fanfics you see on this site, they don't really put much of Lisanna in there. I strive to be different and to deliver a new story that will be far apart from the rest. Corny, right?
Please Review with ideas, I don't know how I'll be able to do the next chapter without input.
Okay, random update, but I gotz a wart on my finger (Left hand, Middle finger, about an inch down from my nail on the palm side) and it hurts. D; I haven't been typing much because maintenance for it is getting awfully annoying so I tried to transverse my irritable mood for my gross growth into the story with Lucy. Haha. My inspirations come from very odd, twisted things. I'll be sure to include all my odd thoughts in all my next chapters!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for your reviews!
RinKira and ., your reviews made me laugh. =3= Just thought I'd point that out.
I love all of your comments (I'm not picking favorites on reviewers, their reviews just made me giggle). So, for next this chapter, write down your funny reviews and serious ones! The ones I love the most (I love them all, okay?) I'll post and give my honest and humble opinion! Thank you, again!
Oh, by the way, I'd like to see some reviews asking questions. Any question you want. It could even be one not about the story unparticular, but about me (awesome, weird, odd me!) Haha.
(Have I thanked you enough? I don't think so…) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! (Am I annoying you yet with my gratitude?) THANK YOU!
[Holy balls. This is a long Author's Note.]
[SHORT CHAPTER]
Love & Rockets,
E M I R O Z U .
Lucy had deep, purple-ish bags under her milk chocolate brown eyes. She had her head resting on her hand, and she was slumped over the table. She yawned frequently – she could only think about how tired she was…
And extremely annoyed.
She was fine with the people hovering over her, asking questions. She loved attention; it used to be so hard to get it. Why is this unnoticed girl finally being noticed? It wasn't because of her beauty, like she'd hoped. The reason she's being surrounded was why she was irritated.
"It's true then, right?" said one.
"I almost got tired of waiting!" said another.
"Ah, I wanna hear the details!"
"me to, me to!"
Erza, Gray, and Mirajane sat on the other side of the table – watching Lucy with a cross between worry and caution. Her face was expressionless, but the atmosphere was perfectly read able. It was like a bomb was strapped onto her and you could hear the pulsing countdown to the limit of her sanity. Gray saw Lucy's fingers clench to the table, his body flexed as he mentally began the countdown…
7… 6…
"I'd love to see you guys kiss! Ah, that would be great for my blog…"
5… 4…
"Why isn't Natsu here? Don't you miss him?"
3… 2…
"I think you could do better." Said a man a bit to loudly. Everyone became silent.
Ah, countdown cut short.
"Excuse me?" Lucy finally spoke; at her limit. The words were like acid as they slipped through her clenched teeth. Her gaze only added to the venomous atmosphere, full of a raging fire out of control. No one dared to speak. "What the fuck did you just say?" Poison from her voice and her fire filled gaze burned. The sense of poison being burned was like the air was venomous gas. The area around her was like contaminated in it... It spread through the air, making the crowd hesitantly back away, and then scatter like mice. (Of course, nothing like that really happened… That's just what it was like.)
Lucy took a deep breath as she turned back to her friends who were stiff in their seats (except Erza, she was just staring). She inched the back of her head nervously: "N-nevermind that… Let's just forget that ever happened."
Everyone relaxed. "I just about pissed myself," Gray breathed, everyone laughed. "… I'm serious." He added.
"I've never seen you like that," Erza commented, "Is something the matter?"
Lucy shrugged, "No. Nothing's wrong, I just didn't get any sleep last night," She crossed her arms, "Natsu slept like a baby, that jerk… I didn't sleep a wink." She blushed.
"To busy staring," Mira added sweetly, giggling after. The blood rushed to Lucy's face in a second.
"N-No! Of course not! W-what do you take me for, a creepy stalker? N-N-Nice to know you all think so dearly of me!"
Mirajane then got up, "I'll get us some drinks," she smiled as she left.
"Where is that hot-head anyway?" Gray said stiffly.
"Probably still sleeping, I couldn't wake him up," Lucy put a finger to her chin, "I should probably go and check on him. I'll be back in a sec." She got up.
A small blush crept to Natsu's face.
He looked around dizzily, like everything was a dream.
Well, he believed it was, anyway.
"Lucy's room…" He acknowledged it, "I-I'm in Lucy's room." What had happened? Why was he here, and Lucy not? When did he get here? Last night? Hmm, Last night… O-oh yeah… L-last night… Everything was clear in Natsu's mind. He remembered everything.
He felt the sensation – only wishing that Lucy was here more to feel it with him. Natsu put one hand over his racing heart. He focused on trying to slow his breathing and the (now faster) accelerated pace of his heart.
"A-aah, so that really happened, huh?" It seemed, literally, to good to be true.
But – why wasn't Lucy here? What time was it anyway? Oh, 12:45. She's probably at the guild by now. Should he go?
Yeah. Most likely. He wanted to see her.
He yawned. How could he still be tired?
He walked out of the apartment building with a sluggish, lazy look about him.
"Natsu-kun," A voice called. He turned – Lisanna stood with her hands behind her back and a fierce blush on her face, "I want to tell you something."
Natsu's eyes widened.
