Enjoy!
After Lucy treated Natsu he looked at the clock and bolted. It made Lucy wonder many things about the pink boy. For one, it was only 8:00pm. If he didn't have parents, who was he late for? That also made her think of where he was living, if he had no one to support him. Definitely not a orphanage. Lucy knew they kicked you out when they thought you were old enough. (16 years old)
She sighed, frustrated. Oh well. Lucy wondered if she would see Natsu at school again. She didn't know his last name. Or his age. Well, maybe if fate plays a little, they'll see each other again. Lucy smiled to herself. Maybe.
School the next day started off with a confession. A certain confession lead to an assumption, which lead to planning. Which lead to meeting, Which lead to….
"WAHHH!" "SHIT! LOOK OUT!" crash
…..
"Lucy, why are you on top of Natsu?…"
Ya…. Let's start from the beginning:
Xoxooxoxoxooxoxoxo
"I love Gray Fullbuster."
An awkward silence was the response to Jubia from the three girls in front of her. Lucy had just gotten to school, and met up with Mirajane and Levi on the way to school. They had just now met up with Jubia, and the first thing she said was… yeah.
"Say what?" Lucy sputtered rudely.
"I love Gray Fullbuster." God, she said it as if "it's raining out. Just thought you should know."
Levi was the first to recover, "Ooh. I see," She chuckled nervously, obviously not knowing what to say. Luckily, Mirajane came to her rescue,
"L-love. Are you sure?" She asked in disbelief.
Jubia nodded. "Yes, he's the one." All three stared at her bluntness.
"W-well." Mirajane cleared her throat. "Have you hung out with him before?"
"No, but I've talked to him many times." You call that love… ? Lucy thought.
"Well! You have to make sure you do, or don't right?" Mirajane smiled. Lucy had a feeling it was a fake one. "We'll arrange to meet them for lunch."
Jubia looked extremely happy, "Really?!"
"Of course!"
Levi looked at Mirajane surprised, "bu-" Mirajane covered Levi's mouth with one hand and grabbed Lucy with the other,
"See you at lunch Jubia!" and they were dragged away.
Once they were on the other side of the school, Mirajane finally let the poor two girls go. Levi pried her hand off her mouth.
"What was that for?!" Mirajane sighed, and looked at Levi.
"As you know, Gray Fullbuster is a member of Fairy Tail." Levi Nodded. Fairy Tail? Lucy was once again, not following. "We can't let Jubia fall for Gray, She'd only get hurt. Either mentally… or physically." Lucy's eyes widened. what?
Levi nodded. "Yeah, I guess your right." She said, sounding genuinely sad.
Lucy couldn't take it anymore.
"Okay, okay." She got both the girl's attention, as they were both staring at Lucy. "I don't understand. 1) what is Fairy Tail?"
Mirajane spoke first, "Fairy Tail is the country's largest and Strongest-" She heard Levi mutter 'Scariest' "Gang around." Mirajane finished.
"It has barely anyone younger than 20, and the ones who are have to be extremely strong." Levi continued. "Gray's one of them." Lucy nodded. Okay, that made sense so far.
"And 2) How exactly are we supposed to stop Jubia from liking Gray? I mean she said she loved him." They both grinned at the same time. Which scared the crap outta' Lucy.
"We don't." Levi said. Lucy was confused again.
"Huh?"
"We make sure Gray doesn't like Jubia." Mirajane finished.
"… isn't that kinda…mean?" Lucy asked, unsure.
"Oh, no. I mean, what kinda friends would we be if we let our best friend go into the hands of a gang?" Lucy thought about this. She wouldn't mind some danger. Maybe Jubia didn't care if Gray was in a gang or not…
"I mean, Jubia could get hurt. Then gang might want to… gangbang her." She whispered 'gangbang.' for a good reason too, Lucy shuddered. "Or she could be used as hostage… or- or WORSE!" Levi was having a breakdown.
"Okay, okay. So, what do we do?"
"C'mon Natsu!"
Natsu growled at the nagging voice behind him.
"Just hang on. Jeez." Gray grabbed his hair in frustration.
"We've been hanging on for like, an hour!"
Natsu made a 'Pfft.' noise "Yeah right. Lunch isn't that long." Natsu scoffed, continuing to scan through his choices of food.
"OK, that's it!" everyone within a 20meter radius immediately backed away from the cafeteria. The were used to this by now. But, just as Gray was about to strangle the unexpected Natsu, a soft voice interrupted them.
"Hello, Gray, Natsu." Both boys automatically turned to the intruding voice. Mirajane, the school's devil-gone-good stood before them.
"Hey Mira! Haven't talked to you in a looong time!" Natsu grinned at the girl. Mirajane smiled back,
"Good to see you too, Natsu." Gray smirked.
"Yeah, haven't seen you since you left." Mirajane's smile faltered a little.
"Yes," She grinned friendly at the boys. "Where's Erza, by the way?" Gray automatically knew she changed the subject, and was about to comment. But, Natsu being Natsu didn't see through her ploy.
"She's on a mission. Won't be back 'till Friday." Mirajane nodded.
"Oh, I see. A dangerous one, is it? Hopefully she comes back fine." Natsu opened his mouth to comment, but Gray beat him to it.
"So, why are you suddenly showing yourself to us, Mira?" Mirajane's smile grew larger.
"I wanted to invite you to lunch!" She said excitedly.
….
"Huh?!" Both boys said at the same time. Mirajane giggled.
"Would you like to join me, Lucy and Jubia to lunch?"
In the end, they decided to come. Why? Natsu will never know. Just suddenly Gray piped a quick "sure!" before dragging the pink-haired out boy behind him.
Without food.
Natsu was pretty sure he's never been this angry at Gray before. Not when he pants'ed Natsu in front of everyone to make himself seem not-as-naked or even when he sold out Natsu's stuff to another gang for money. Oh, no. this was much, much, much worse.
..Natsu'.
So, here he was, making his way to the lunch table, without food. Natsu glared at Gray's full plate as they walked. He would soo get him back for this. For now, he needed to find some food!
Lucy tapped her pen, impatiently. What if these so called gang members were so dangerous that they jumped Mirajane right when they saw her?! She didn't understand why Mirajane insisted on going by herself. Wasn't she the one always enforcing everyone about how dangerous these guys are? Lucy sighed. Going to public school was hard. All this drama and love and gangs and confusement! She didn't like it. But she did like her friends.
Lucy smiled. Ya, she really did like them. She's only been with them for two days! But, still. Lucy felt an attachment between them. Maybe it was because they were her first friends?
"Hello everyone! Sorry to make you wait!" Lucy looked up upon hearing Mirajane's face, eager to see these 'gangsters'.
The first one was abit taller then the other one. He had flat black hair and dark blue eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt and dark blue shorts. He had a some-what plain expression as he approached.
He was dangerous? Lucy wondered is he was Gray or not, but either way, he didn't look that built. She could tell her had muscle, but she was expecting a 6-foot beast. That's what she gets for watching wrestling.
The second soon moved into sight. It only took a second to notice the pink spikes as she jumped up out of her seat.
"Natsu!" Said boy was looking very grumpy, until he looked up. He cracked a grin.
"Hey Luce!" He said cheerfully. Everyone around them was silent. Both Mirajane and Levi had an expression between shock and confusement. While Jubia was staring at Gray, and Gray was looking between Natsu and Lucy, amused.
"N-Natsu," She said quieter this time. "What are you doing here?" He blinked, before point at Mirajane.
"I was invited." He grinned at her. Lucy's mind was swerving. Natsu? Apart of a gang? Dangerous? Granted, he did take out 6 guys on his own… Now that she thought about, she never did question the reason the fight broke out for. She thought they could meet again, but not like this! She wanted to be friends! He's in a gang. All this drama was too much to take for poor Lucy. Too much too soon.
Everyone stared as the silence continued, Lucy looking lost in her own world, and Natsu confused as to A) what they were doing here. B) why Lucy was here. C)Why everyone was silent D) why Lucy was acting funny. And E) WHERES HIS FOOD!?
"Well, uhm, I didn't realize you were already acquainted." Mirajane broke the silence. "Why don't we take a seat?" She offered, look at the two boys she had brought with her. They both nodded, and did as they were told.
Saying the table was awkward was an understatement. Everyone sat in silence except for the little noises made my chewing or Natsu's constant whining. Mirajane hadn't touched her food, smiling at seemingly nothing as if she thought that smiling period would help the situation at hand. Levi was shifting in the awkwardness, not quite sure what to do. Lucy was lost in her own world, confused and Jubia was staring at Gray, every once and awhile taking a bite of her food.
… and Gray was about to snap. One more noise, just one more. Not only did he have to sit here in the sure silence, but he had to listen to Natsu little grunts every once and awhile. And Gray was pissed.
Not only that, but GODDAMN. He needed to take off his shirt. It was bugging him, his skin begging to be set free from it's prison.
He tapping his fingers on the table. That Jubia girl kept staring at him, it made him feel awkward, unsure.
The silence continued. He can't take much more of this.
Gray could swear he could hear his shirt talking. please Gray, just take it off. No one will blame you, Please for m-
"ughhh." Natsu groaned.
"THAT'S IT!" Gray blew up, and grabbed Natsu by the shirt, lifting him up as Gray leaped to his feet.
Natsu automatically got into fighting stance on the bench grabbing Gray's collar as well, both glaring at each other.
Both Lucy and Mirajane jumped out of their seats as soon as this happened. Lucy going to grab Natsu's arm in his right and Mirajane on Gray's left.
It all happened so fast from there:
Gray shoved Natsu's arm, causing him to fall back. This caused a chain reaction and Lucy, who had been on Natsu's side, had been pulled down with him. Natsu, while falling caught the sight of a sandwich, left untouched on the table. He stretched with all his might trying to grab the bread and meat. Then, Lucy fell on said arm, adding pressure and making Natsu's arm to slam down on the table, causing the table to flip onto Lucy's back.
"WAHH!" Lucy cried. "SHIT! LOOK OUT!" Natsu hollered.
And we're back to where we started.
Now, both Natsu and Lucy lying on the ground. Natsu underneath Lucy, and Lucy's legs straddling Natsu's hips. Both covered in everyone's lunch. Levi chose that moment to finally say something:
"Lucy, why are you on top of Natsu…?" Lucy's face flushed as she saw their position. She quickly got off of Natsu, standing to see everyone who was outside's eyes on them. how embarrassing. Lucy thought as her face flushed.
Natsu was quick to jump up. He grabbed Gray's collar, "Bastered! This is all your fault! What was your problem, anyway?!" Gray glared.
"My problem?!" Both boys started screaming at each other, playing 'pass-the-blame'. Mirajane sighed.
"Lucy, Natsu. Maybe you guys should go get cleaned up?" Lucy and Natsu looked at their clothes. Natsu scoffed.
"Yeah, we probably should," He grabbed Lucy's wrist. "C'mon, let's go." Lucy made a squeak as he pulled her.
"Why meeeee?" she yelled, almost already out of sight.
Natsu and Lucy were both casually walking down the hall towards the fountain. She actually kinda enjoyed his company. He was an idiot, yes. But he was funny and honest. She liked that.
"-And Erza comes over like 'Gray what are you doing?!'" He imitated his friend, Erza. He made he sound like some kind of beast. "and he gives this really girly scream and is like 'n-nothing Erza!" The voice he used for Gray was girlier then the one for Erza. She giggled. He grinned at her.
"Hey, Natsu," She tailed off. He looked at her patiently. "Are all three of you in a gang?" Natsu hesitated. He didn't like this question. Usually he'd try to deny it. But everyone knew at school anyway, right?
"Yeah, all of us." He looked for her reaction. There wasn't much of one. He guessed she must have thought so. "You gonna avoid us like the rest of the school now?" He had to ask. She snapped her head up to him. His face expressionless, serious.
"No, why would I?" Natsu snorted. "Okay, well, you can't blame the students can you? I mean, I've heard such bad things about gangs, everyone must find you scary for a reason." She said, softly, trying not to be offending.
He gave her a smirk. "Yeah I guess so. But there's nothing to be afraid of. It's not like i go around hurting everybody. Only people who challenge me first… or hurt my friends." Suddenly, his face darkened. "Besides, I'm not the reason people are so afraid. He is," Natsu pointed down the hall. Lucy followed his finger until she saw a very large boy smashing a locker next to a boy quivering.
The large boy had long spikish black hair, with piercing all over his body. He had huge arms, much larger then Natsu's. All-in-all, he looked completely scary. Who was he?
Just then, the black haired boy slammed his fist into the smaller boys gut, screaming something that Lucy couldn't hear properly. Lucy's eye were wide with horror as the small boys form collided with the ground. Natsu growled.
"Gazille!" He screamed as he charged down the hallway at the larger guy. Gazille. The one Levi thought was cute! … He definitely wasn't cute.
Natsu jumped up in order to reach Gazille's face. He landed a good snuff right in the middle of the bigger boy's nose that sent him stumbling a few steps. Natsu, what are you doing?! That guy can obliterate you! Lucy silently screamed as she chased down the hallway after them.
"Natsu," Gazille hissed. He eyed Natsu up and down before giving a loud laugh. "What happened? Get the shit beat outta'?" he said gesturing to Natsu's food covered clothes.
Natsu growled. "None of your fucking business! What were you doing to that kid?!" He demanded. Gazille raised and pierced eye brow.
"That's what your all hyped up about?" Natsu glared. "Ha! Don't worry small fry, we'll have our fight. I can't wait to see your ass dead on the ground. My boys want you dead, you know?" Gazille continued to laugh.
"Wants me dead eh? Why cause I sent 6 of your 'boys' home unconscious? Bring it on!" Natsu snarled. So that's who Natsu was fight before, a enemy gang.
Gazille laughed again. "Don't worry, you'll find yourself buried in the ground in no time." He chuckled as he left them. Natsu growled, and punched the locker, making Lucy jump. They wanted Natsu dead?! Why?
"Hate that guy." Natsu looked down on the ground. The smaller boy from before lying unconscious under them. Natsu picked him up no problem. "Hey, Luce, do you mind if we make a quick stop by the nurses office?" Lucy smiled. Even though he's apart of a gang and is always getting into fights, he still cares about someone in trouble that he just met? Lucy smiled.
"Sure."
