okay this chapter is still pretty short but it's longer than the first one.
Chapter 2
"Thank goodness you're here!" Natsu and Lucy finally arrived, after a very long 2 day trip by train, to their destination, a very high quality magic store, to take on the responsibility of guarding it until the criminals show up and they catch them. The owner of the store was a small bald man whom smelled strongly of prunes.
"These burglars have been coming every night for the past 3 days and they keep taking the most valuable and expensive magical items I have in this shop!" the old man cried angrily, "If they keep it up I'll be out of business before you know it!"
"Don't worry old man! We've got this all taken care of." Natsu put his hands behind his head and grinned. The old man flicked the key in its lock closing the store for the night.
"Then I leave the rest to you." He said, and with that he left.
"Right! So it looks like we just have to wait here for those dumb burglars and kick their asses when they show up, easy!" Natsu said turning to Lucy.
"Aye!"
"It might not be that easy, Natsu." Lucy said, "That old man is a wizard too, if he couldn't get rid of them they might be pretty powerful."
"Happy and I could take 'em!" He gave her a thumbs up.
"Anyway let's get going. We have to be somewhere they won't be able to see us." She put her finger to her chin thinking.
"How about the attic?" Happy suggested.
"That…might work! Can you fly us up there Happy?" she asked him.
"Aye!" Happy said before carrying up Lucy then Natsu.
They sat and waited for about 2 hours, nothing happened. They waited a while longer, still nothing.
"AARRGG! WHY IS THIS TAKING SO FRICKING LOONG!" Natsu finally shouted angrily jumping up from his position on the floor.
"Sit down and be quiet! What if they hear you?" Lucy hissed at him.
"I can't help it Lucy! I'm just so damn bored."
"Well then why don't we talk or something." Natsu was now looking at Happy who had fallen asleep in Lucy's arms. He glanced up at Lucy.
"Okay, then what do we talk about?" he said sitting back down.
"Hm, well…uh…well what about…no..." she leaned back obviously stumped at what they should talk about. They sat in silence for a while, both trying to figure out something, anything, to talk about. Suddenly they heard a small thump. Lucy shot up, scanning the area. They were absolutely silent. The noise sounded again. A small mouse came scampering out of a small hole in the wall. Lucy shrieked as it came close to her, and by close I mean like 10 ft. away. She scooted closer to Natsu, grabbing his arm.
"What? Don't tell me your scared of a mouse." He said trying to hold back a laugh but failing miserably at his attempt.
"I-I am not! Stop laughing!" she cried. The mouse inched closer to her and she let out a small squeak of terror. By this time Natsu was full out rolling on the floor laughing. He couldn't help it! It was so freaking hilarious and cute! Not to mention stereotypical.
"Stop laughing and get rid of it!" she said angrily.
"Why? It's just a mouse." He said wiping away a tear. He was winded, whew he hadn't laughed that hard in a while.
"Please?" She pleaded giving him the puppy dog face. He scooted back avoiding her gaze and trying to hide the tint of red on his cheeks.
"F-Fine." He picked up the mouse, opened the door window, and put it on the roof. He didn't want to kill it, that'd just be unfair. Apparently he hadn't hide his blush very well because when he turned around he saw Lucy with a very triumphant smirk on her face.
"Wha! Were you even scared were you?!" he yelled at her. How could she have tricked him so easily? Lucy merely grinned some more and playfully stuck her tongue out at him.
"I just wanted to see how you'd react, that's all." She explained, still smirking. Natsu had gone full red by this point.
"Why you..." he muttered turning around and sitting.
"Hey, it was only a joke!" she walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't think you would get so upset."
"Prove it." Natsu said turning to look at her in the eyes.
"Wha-"
"Prove that you're sorry."
"Eh?"
Chapter 2 done! It's longer than the last chapter so I hope you liked it! To be honest I didn't think I was going to do a multi-chapter story, but we'll see where it goes!
Feel free to comment and stuff!
