Chapter 2: The strong type
I had been given strict orders to show up at least ten minutes before club hours started so they could tell me how everything would work out. So I was quickly making my way up the stairs, shuffling passed people trying not to knock them onto their butts. My lungs were screaming at me for running for too long but I ignored it as the door came into view. I cheered in happiness and grasped the handle bursting through into the room. At first all I could hear was my frantic panting and the erratic beat of my heart in my ears. But as I caught my breath and calmed down, I could hear the sweet strings of a violin echoing off the walls in the fairly empty room. I gazed around trying to look for the culprit of the beautiful melody, and saw a flash of pink hair.
"No way in hell." I whispered, slowly walking closer so I could see him more clearly. His body was swaying gently, moving with the up and down motion of his bow. The song he was playing sounded Irish, the notes were jumpy and happy, almost making me want to dance, emphasize on the almost. I sat down in a chair and listened with my eyes closed. He almost sounded like a professional recording that I would listen to on my I-pod. The music suddenly stopped and a light clank of the bow being set down was heard. I opened my eyes only to be met with Natsu's face stuck in front of mine. I flung my arms up in surprise, making the chair tip backwards. I started to flap my arms like an idiot in order to stay on the ground and not fly backwards. Natsu gently grasped my wrist before anything more embarrassing could happen to me. I sighed and glared at him.
"What the hell are you doing? You scared me half to death." I yelled into his face. He stepped back and looked at me thoughtfully.
"You were making a weird face Lucy." He commented. The violin was currently being cradled in his arms gently. I growled at him and slapped his arm.
"This is naturally my face! Anyways since when could you play the violin!?" I questioned. He shrugged. "Always I guess? I don't really remember when I started to play. Just did." He said lazily, walking back over to the case to put away the wooden instrument.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" He asked looking up as he loosened the horse hairs on his bow and stuck it in his case. I gave him a look.
"Are you really asking me that question? You are the most reckless person I know Natsu! The violin is such a delicate and beautiful instrument. I didn't even think you were smart enough to play anything." I muttered under my breath. He glared at me.
"I heard that. Anyways, what's it to you that I play the violin? Though you aren't the first person to point that out to me." He said zipping up the case.
"What that you aren't smart?" I questioned with a smirk. He sighed and shook his head. "You are getting on my last nerve Lucy." He growled. I shrugged my shoulders. At least I was able to crack his little façade. I was worried he was always going to be a huge flirt that buzzed around no matter how hard I tried to flick him away.
"Hey you're the one that wanted to deal with me Natsu." I said standing up and adjusting my coat. He also stood up with his hands in his pockets.
"Ok, first things first, why are you wearing the male uniform? Are you a cross dresser or something?" He asked with a smirk, baring his fangs a little.
"No I'm not a cross dresser, I just thought that the female uniform was god awful. I mean who would wear a bright yellow dress with big sleeves like that? Are we in the middle ages?" I questioned. He just shrugged. "I think they look fine. I rolled my eyes and pulled my hair into a pony tail.
"Of course you would think that." I muttered loosening my tie a little. I could tell he heard me by the look on his face, but he chose to ignore me.
"Who are you going to start out with?" He asked. I brought a finger to my lips and smiled.
"Elfman seems nice, so I think I'll go with him." I said. He frowned and stuck out his lower lip. "You meanie, I thought you'd choose me!" He complained. I shrugged. "You annoy me the most; I might just end up going to that stupid dance with Laxus since he's tall, handsome, muscular, and quiet. Unlike someone I know." I said. His eyes widened.
"What?! You can't go with that jerk!" He yelled throwing his arms up in the air. I just snickered and sat back down in my chair.
"Is someone jealous?" I asked. I saw a hint of pink on his cheeks before he turned his back to me and walk over to his backpack.
"As if! You aren't my type. Also on top of that, you're weird." He commented. I felt the anger boiling inside of me. What a jerk?! Even though I've only known him for two days he already says that he doesn't want to date me? I scoffed and muttered the word 'men' under my breath.
"What was that?" He asked from across the room. I just ignored him. My eyes widened in realization of what just went through my mind. Why the hell am I thinking about dating that stupid pink headed freak!?
"Oi flame head!" Someone yelled from behind us making me jump in surprise. A book went flying towards Natsu and knocked him in the head causing him to fall forward. I thought he was dead from not moving for a while until he jumped up and sprinted at the book thrower.
"ICE PRINCESS! HOW DARE YOU DAMAGE MY FACE!?" He screamed charging at Gray who currently had his hands stuck lazily in his pockets and was faking a long drawn out yawn.
"No worse than it already is." He grunted as Natsu rushed up and punched him in the gut. I winced at the sound it made. The two were now in a full out brawl as the rest of the members filed in with blank looks. It appalled me that no one was going to do anything. I sighed in frustration and stomped over to them. Natsu was currently on top of Gray twisting his arm above his back. I took in a deep breath and pinched Natsu's ear and Gray's ear with both of my hands.
"Ouch, Lushhii!" Natsu groaned in annoyance. I ignored him as I pulled the two across the room and threw them on the couch.
"If I see you two fighting at all during club hours, I will personally send Erza on your asses got it!?" I questioned with the best glare I could muster. The two boys were cowering in fear so I think it was working. I heard light clapping echo around the room.
"Good job Lucy, no one but Erza is able to separate those two in a fight. It looks like we have the new club president." Loke complimented. "Yeah in your dreams!" I yelled at him.
"Lucy is a man!" Elfman shouted flexing his biceps. I laughed nervously and went to go sit by the large male. I scooted my chair away a little so I didn't feel surrounded by his large muscles that took up half of the table.
"Elfman, you are the first one I choose for my first month." I said sweetly. He flexed again and yelled 'manly' then sat down at a table pouring tea and cutting up the cake. I raised my eyebrows at the sudden change in character. Who knew he could be so delicate?
"Would you two get a hold of yourselves? Club starts in two minutes!" Gajeel barked at the two 'friends.' They both sat up and glared at the black haired male. Once he turned his back Natsu elbowed Gray in the stomach and Gray kicked him in the shin, which started up another round of insults. I glanced back at my first host and sighed.
"Well here goes nothing."
"Oh Elfman- sempai! You're so dreamy!" Some girls squealed as the said silver haired male was flexing his huge biceps and making weird sounds and shouting 'man' ever once and a while. I sighed for the thousandth time and took a sip of my cold tea. I stuck my tongue out in disgust and set the cup down gently. I glanced over to where Natsu was. He was sitting on the couch with his arms around two girls, whispering sweet nothing's into their ears that made them swoon, a for hearts to practically leak out of their eyes. I rolled my eyes and turned away.
"Is someone jealous?" Someone questioned from behind me making me jump a mile in the air, knocking over the table in the process, causing everyone's attention to land on me. I laughed nervously.
"Hehe, whoops." I whispered examining the spilt tea and broken glass. Why was I such a klutz? I got down on the ground and started to scoop up the broken pieces.
"Ok ladies, it seems club will have to end early today, we apologize dearly." Loke said with a charming smile. I once again rolled my eyes and stood up to throw away the pile of glass in my palm.
"Lucy, go get the broom and the mop since this is your mess." Natsu said with a frown. I growled in frustration and stomped out of the room and down the hall to the janitors room. I swung open the door and grabbed what I need. That good for nothing bastard was just so irritating! I was about to turn around but froze when I heard some hushed whispers.
"It's only been one day and I'm already sick of the Heartfilia chick. She's stealing all the attention of the host club members, and she keeps causing trouble for our poor Natsu-kun." A girl said with a whine. I frowned and took a step back.
"I say we confront her after school." Another said. I gulped and closed the door quietly, not wanting to leave, afraid that they would jump me. I guess you can never get in the way of a girls love, if you do they turn into wild animals, and I was their prey. I held the broom and mop close to me, wondering if they left or not. I heard footsteps and took another step back. The door swung open to reveal Gray.
"What are you doing hiding in here? You've been gone for ten minutes." He said with a raised eyebrow. I held out the broom and the mop.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take so long." I whispered. My knees were shaking, and I was trying really hard not to fall on my butt. Why was I so scared? They're just a bunch of girls, what would they do to me? I felt the ground meet my knees as images flooded my mind.
"LUCY!" I shook my head and was staring into concerned onyx eyes. Natsu was kneeled before me with his hands on my shoulders, his face full of confusion and worry. Gray was to the side with the same expression.
"What happened?" I questioned quietly, my voice quivered in fear. Natsu brushed his thumb over my cheek and I finally realized that I had been crying.
"I don't know, I came here to see what was taking Gray so long to get you, and you fell to the ground crying and screaming 'don't hurt me, please don't.'" He said. My eyes widened and I jumped away from him, wiping away my tears in the process.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." I said with a small smile that just screamed 'fake.' The two hosts shared a glance. Why did I suck at lying?
"Lucy what happened?" Gray asked standing up. I shook my head. "Why the hell should you care? I barely even know you two." I said
"Because we are worried about our friend." Natsu said grasping my hand and pulling me to my feet. I scowled at him.
"Well you don't need to worry about me ok? I'm fine, let's hurry back." I said shoving passed them and bursting through the doors of the room.
"Lucy are you ok!?" Everyone yelled running up to me. I nodded my head slowly.
"I'm perfectly fine guys, now let's clean up this mess." I mumbled getting on my knees to sweep up all the glass. A gentle hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked over to meet dark blue eyes.
"I deeply apologize that I scared you. I didn't mean for it to get out of hand." She said sweetly. I smiled and shook my head.
"It's ok. You just startled me is all. I'm sorry, but I don't think I've meet you yet." I said turning around fully to look at her. She was beautiful with long silver hair with a small pony tail at the top of her head.
"Oh I'm Mirajane, Elfman's older sister." She said gesturing to the muscular man. I laughed nervously and went back to sweeping.
"I can see the resemblance, but he seems to have a lot more energy than you do." I said. Mira giggled. "Yeah he can be a handful sometimes, but I have Lisanna to help out with that." I stood up with the dust pan in my hand and walked over to the trashcan.
"Lisanna?" I questioned. As the name slipped from my mouth, Gray and Natsu walked through the door with another silver haired girl following them haughtily. The two hosts look devastated and defeated. I raised an eyebrow.
"What's up with you two?" I asked. They gestured to the petite girl standing beside them. She smiled in victory.
"Let's just say I was able to stop the two from fighting by saying something about Elf-nii-san." She said placing her hands on her hips. I glanced back at the two and winced, not really wanting to know what she could have said about the silver haired male.
"I think my mind has been blown, there is brain everywhere on the walls." Natsu said plainly. I couldn't help but let out a laugh. He glanced up and smiled at me. I walked over to my stuff and made the announcement that I was about to head out.
"Wait, how do you get home Lucy? Why don't I drive you in my new limousine that we got?" Loke suggested with a wink. "The driver won't be able to bother us." He whispered seductively. I stuck my tongue out in disgust.
"Ok player boy, take a step back there. No I do NOT want to ride with you and I would rather sit with the driver. I walk home because I don't live that far away from here." I said.
"Then I shall walk you home Lucy since I am you host! MAN!" Elfman yelled loudly. I winced and picked up my bag, my shoulder nearly giving way from the weight of my books.
"Joy. Well let's go mister manly man. I have a bunch of homework that won't get itself done." I said. And with that said, Elfman and I were walking to my house. It was unusually quiet, especially since I was walking with a loud mouth.
"So can I ask why you looked like you had been crying?" Elfman asked quietly. I raised my eyebrows. "What's with the face? It's not very manly?" He questioned. Now here I thought he sounded ridiculous when he yelled man or manly all the time, but when he said it calmly, it sounded almost foreign.
"I'm just not used to you being quiet and gentle I guess." I said glancing up at the blue sky that was starting to turn a golden color.
"Well, believe it or not, I was always like this when I was younger. People made fun of me for how soft and caring I was. And then Mira would go to beat them up, but then they would burst out laughing that a girl is fighting my fights for me. So I gave up my little innocent boy act and tried to toughen up." He said. Talk about role changes.
"Wow, that's so sad. I will never truly understand why people have to bully others." I said, feeling the tears coming on. I felt a hand pat my back.
"It's because they feel weak and they want to find a way to make themselves feel powerful over others." He said. I nodded. It was quiet for a while until he spoke again.
"You know you never answered my question." He commented. I shook my head. "It's not important really." I said with a smile. He stopped walking and stared at me.
"What's wrong Elfman?" I questioned turning to face him. "You were bullied weren't you?" He asked. I felt my heart stop at his observation.
"I-I," Damn it what was wrong with me?! I can't even speak, now he will really know for sure. Damn my stupid inability to lie.
"Don't worry, I won't force it out of you. Just please tell us when the time is right. You may not know this but we all care for you. Even though we met yesterday, we all feel we have a connection with you. Anyone who is a part of Fairy Tail is family." He said but then blushed lightly. "Not to sound creepy or anything!" He yelled. I giggled.
"Thank you Elfman. Well this is my house." I said waving him good bye. But I paused in my step and twirled around.
"You know, I like this side of you much better than the tough one. It suits you more." I said with a gentle smile. He looked surprised at first but soon a huge genuine smile spread across his face. I jumped up and pecked him on the check.
"Thank you for making me feel better." I said with a final wave and ran up to my house gate.
"Thank you Lucy." He mumbled walking away. I turned back around and walked into my house. I was instantly greeted with maids and butlers running around and yelling 'good afternoon Miss Heartfilia.' I sighed and walked up the long elegant staircase and down the long picture filled hallway. I spotted the large wooden doors ahead and took a deep breath. Before I could reach them though, they opened to reveal my father.
"Papa, good afternoon." I said. He looked at me and nodded. I started to walk by his side. "How was your trip?" I asked. He just stayed silent and nodded.
"Did you meet anyone decent Lucy? List off all the names." He said. I sighed and did as I was told. I feel that I will never have a normal conversation with him.
"Let's see there was Scarlet, McGarden, Marvel, Fullbuster, Redfox, Dreyar, Strauss, Alberona, let's see who am I missing?" I questioned. A flash of pink hair ran through my mind.
"Ah and Dragneel." My father instantly stopped and turned to me. "Lucy I forbid you to hang out with that delinquent of a boy!" He yelled. I frowned.
"But father why-"Just listen to me! That company is run by a stupid, cocky man who doesn't even know what he is doing half the time and he is our enemy!" He growled. I nodded sadly.
"As you wish papa." I whispered. He continued to walk away and left me to stand alone in the hallway. Just when I was starting to warm up to Natsu, I was told I wasn't allowed to even see him anymore. Mom, why is dad so harsh anymore?
Ok there wasn't much of Elfman hosting, but I'm still trying to come up with some ideas, so I hope the walking home made up for that. And also the reason why I have Natsu playing the Violin is because in OHSHC Tamaki plays the piano and that's the last thing that you think he would be able to do, hence why Natsu, the reckless one, is playing the violin. And one more thing, there will always be NaLu in a chapter, no matter what :D
