Fanfic

Nalu AU-

Natsu and Lucy are neighbors they just didn't know it yet until one deranged morning…

I do not own Fairy Tail as it belongs to Hiro Mashima or any other copy written material used or referenced to in the making of this fan fiction.

Chapter Six: Ain't It a Small World.

A week or so had passed by quickly. Natsu and Lucy were spending most of their time hanging out at each other's place, mostly Lucy's, and got to know each other more. Lucy felt that they were becoming closer and he probably was her best friend. She got up and was getting ready for work, putting on a black pencil skirt and a white button up shirt. She grabs her phone and purse heading for the door. She slipped on her heels and walked out her apartment locking the door. Walking down the stairs, Lucy heads for the front door, keeping an eye out for Natsu. With a little pout, she exits her building and makes her way to her car. Getting in, she closes her door, turns on the engine and drives to her job.

At the library, Lucy is busy arranging book when Levy comes up to her. She stands there waiting for Levy to say anything but when she doesn't she continues with her work. After heading back to the counter, with Levy following, she gets her phone and checks for any new messages when Levy speaks up,

"So uhm Lucy you have any plans for tonight?" she asks innocently, but Lucy knows something is up with the way Levy is swaying back in fourth in place.

"No, not really. I was just going to read then head to bed. Why?" She replies and narrows her eyes when Levy looks up at her with big puppy dog eyes.

"Well… I was wondering if you would, maybe, wanna come on a double date with me and Gajeel…?" Levy fidgets and tries to look as adorable as possible.

"Do I have to?" she asks sighing, "I think it would be better if you and him just went alone to get to know each other." Lucy says and puts her phone away walking to the front of the counter.

"Yes you have to! I'm okay with being alone with him but, he has a friend of his that he wants to get a girlfriend for… pleaseee Lu" she says putting her hands together, pleading.

"Hmm…" Lucy says and contemplates then she sighs and slumps her shoulders in defeat, "Fine I'll go then."

"Yes! Meet at Yajima's at 8." Levy jumps up and down then crushes Lucy with a hug.

The day goes on and Lucy gets back home searching through her expansive closet for anything to wear. After finding a pastel pink dress with short sleeves, pleated at the bottom and a black bow belt, she sets it on her bed and heads to take a shower, finishing and heading back into her room. She looks at the time and begins to rush when she sees there's only forty-five minutes till 8. Drying off and slipping on her dress, she heads to her mirror to begin doing her make up. Why'd I have to take so long in the bathroom?! Lucy cursed herself and continued with her rushing.

XDXDXDXD

In South Magnolia, Natsu was looking at plans for a new department store when he got a tap on his shoulder. He turns around and faces a tall man. His long black hair tied into a low ponytail, his large amount of pricings and natural scowl making him seem like an angry giant. Natsu leans back on a table,

"Hey metal head, what do you want?" Natsu asks crossing his arms over his chest. Gajeel sighed and just spoke out.

"So I have a date with this amazing girl, and she has a friend to, so I was wondering if ya know, ya wanted to come along?" He awkwardly stood there avoiding eye contacting because Gajeel was never used to asking for favors. Natsu stood there and raised an eyebrow and contemplated, thoughts going straight to Lucy.

"I dunno man, I'm kinda busy tonight…" he said turning back around and looking at his work.

Gajeel grumbles and gets in front of Natsu, "Look Salamander, I kinda told Levy that I would bring a guy for her friend, so could ya help out and ill do your paper work for a week." He bargains and Natsu looks up and sighs.

"Alright, fine but only for a while because I rather be doing other things." Natsu says and heads back to doing work.

"Yeah yeah, thanks again. Be at Yajima's at 8 and don't dress like a street rat." Gajeel says and heads back to work on the framing of the building.

Later on, Natsu gets home and sighs. He checks the time and sees he has about an hour to get ready. He takes his boots off and walks straight into his room smiling when Happy comes over to him and jumps up, climbing on Natsu's shoulders. "Hey buddy?" He says and starts to strip down and walks into the bathroom. After several minutes, he walks out and opens his closet picking out khakis and a white button up shirt. Looking at the time he sees there's at least 20 minutes until he has to leave and considering he has to walk, he starts to rush. He pulls on his pants then button up his shirt and puts on some sneakers then grabs his phone, wallet and runs out the house.

XDXDXDXD

Lucy steps out of her car, locks it, and walks into the homey looking restaurant called 8island. Walking through the large wooden doors, Lucy looks around for her fairy like friend. After spotting Levy, she heads over to their table next to the huge windows near the back of the restaurant. She takes a seat and waves at Gajeel.

"Hey there." She says and moves more down the booth looking as Gajeel nods and mutters a hello.

A waitress with light brown hair and glasses walks over to the table, "So are we all set guys?" she asks. They all look at each other and shake their heads as Levy says, "We're waiting on one more person." The waitress nods and walks away. They go back to conversing about anything that comes to mind while they wait for Gajeel's friend. About 15 minutes later Gajeel sighs in relief looking over to the door,

"Finally, what the hell took you so long?!" he exclaims.

Lucy turns her head around and her eyes widen as her mouth drops open in shock. Natsu walks over but freezes when he sees Lucy. They both stare at each other as Natsu sits down. Levy tilts her head at how weird Lucy is acting and looks to Lucy,

"Anything wrong?" She asks.

Lucy gives a sheepish smile, "No, it's just, i know him right Natsu." she says and looks over to him as he nods. Levy's mouth opens a little,

"Wait how do you guys know each other?" she asks and looks at both of them.

"He moved in last week, remember." Lucy says and watches as the pieces in Levy's mind come together.

"THAT'S THE GUY THAT SAW YOU NAKED?!" she exclaims as her eyes bug out.

"THAT'S THE GIRL YOU PEEPED NAKED!" Gajeel asks his friend bewildered.

Natsu and Lucy both speak up at the same time, "SHE-I WASN'T NAKED!"

Lucy face palms and mutters, "This is gonna be a long night"
