WOOT! Thanks for everything guys! I got bombarded with favorites and follows and a couple of reviews. One caught my eye saying how I didn't make Lucy act like a boy like Haruhi in the show. Well one don't worry I don't mind the ideas and criticism (It wasn't really criticism, just a simple point), and what you said didn't bother me at all :D Two, the reason I didn't make Lucy like that is because she can't pull it off lol. Her breasts are waaaayyy to big and honestly I don't think she would look good with a pixie haircut, but you never know. Also she doesn't semi look like a male like Haruhi does. Three, I was never intending this story to follow exactly what happens in the show; I'm just using the idea of it. Thank you for your concern and comment! Also I apologize if there isn't enough of HOSTING and such. It's a little harder than it seems. Though these next few chapters will solely be base around just the host club and all of its craziness…. Hopefully.
ANYWAYS, if any of you want me to answer your reviews, just ask because I definitely will. I ask one favor though. Please help me get to the goal of 50 reviews! I mean I don't want to be demanding like "GIVE ME FREAKING REVIEWS!" because I mean you don't have to if you don't want to, I was just wondering if you would be willin' to help. That's been my goal since I started on FF and I hope for it to happen sometime :D Ok enough of my babbling and on with the story.
EDITED
Chapter 6: The Lion, the witch and the closet?
It had been a couple of weeks since the incident at the karaoke club. Ever since, Natsu has been avoiding me as much as possible and barely ever making eye contact with me. Our little conflict was affecting the entire club though.
"Lucy, will you please go out with me?" Loke asked for the fifteenth time that day. I sighed in frustration. "No." I mumbled staring into my cup of tea that was probably cold now. "Please?" He whimpered. "No." I grumbled. Damn he sure was persistent, I guess since he thought that Natsu and I weren't really on good terms right now he could swoop in and carry me away like some knight in shining armor.
"Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeee." He drawled out the word more than it needed to be. "No." I said with a sigh. If he didn't quit soon I would kick him in the place where the sun doesn't shine.
"I'll send you a million roses." He said leaning in closer. "And I'll burn each and every one of them." I said. He frowned for a split second, but you could literally see the light bulb pop out from his head.
"I'll send you teddy bears with chocolates." He said. I rolled my eyes. "And then I'll rip their heads off pull out the stuffing, stuff it with the chocolates and then blow them up!" I said rather loudly. He pouted and sat back in his seat, tears at the corners of his eyes.
"Lucy you're so violent and mean." He whimpered. I sighed and ran a hand through my fairly messy hair. "I'm sorry Loke, I'm just not in the best of moods." I said taking a sip of my tea. I nearly spit it out at the cold bland taste.
"Obviously, I swear we should just..." He stopped in midsentence and a smirk gradually grew on his face.
"You should just what?" I asked glaring at him. He jumped up from his seat and ran over to Erza who was currently talking to some of the ladies. I sighed and started to slowly eat the sweet in front of me.
"What's wrong princess?" Gray asked sitting down in Loke's seat. I turned to where he was supposed to be and could practically feel the deadly aura coming from the multiple girls. If looks could kill, I'd surely be on the ground with multiple daggers in my body. I shivered and shook my head.
"Did I make a mistake Gray? Should I have done something instead of run away?" I questioned. He snorted and rolled his eyes.
"No, who would want to date flame brain?" He questioned. I glared at him, getting close to the point where if one more person ticked me off, they would for sure get the Lucy kick. He gulped.
"Ok fine, I don't know Lucy, it depends on how you feel for him. He was pretty torn up after you left. He's been miserable every single day. He won't pick a fight with me, he won't crack jokes in class. I mean look at him now. He may still be hosting but just look at his composure." He said gesturing the pink haired host. I turned to look at him cautiously, hoping he wasn't looking this way. Instead he was grasping a girl's chin gently and giving her the fakest smile. His eyes were dull and I could clearly see the dark bags under his eyes and he even looked thinner. I turned back around quickly and covered my face with my hands letting out a pitiful cry.
"Damn it, I feel like such a bitch. I broke his heart. I had it in my hands and I just shattered it like it was nothing." I groaned miserably.
"I really actually like him Gray, but I can't be with him and I hate that fact." I whispered. He grasped my hand.
"I know how you feel Lucy, I had to do the same thing." He said. I looked up at him in confusion. His cheeks were powdered in pink.
"I might have had a thing for Juvia." He said avoiding my eyes. I smiled. "I wish you didn't have to go through with this. Why didn't he just pick a random guy?" I questioned taking a sip of my tea resisting the urge to stick my tongue out in disgust.
"No, I think this is better because at least we are comfortable with each other. But you need to tell Natsu, he deserves to know." He said. I nodded and stood up about to go over to the pink haired boy when two arms wrapped around my waist and picked me up.
"I have captured you my princess." Loke said heading straight for the closet. I struggled to get away from him, but he only tightened his grip.
"Loke let me go! I need to talk to Natsu." I said looking over my shoulder at the golden haired boy. He smirked. "I know which is why you are going in here. Have fun!" He tossed me into the closet and shut the door with a slam. I landed on top of a body.
"Damn Lucy, what do you eat?" I heard a faint voice grumble from beneath me. I yelped and jumped off of him. He sat up and dusted off himself.
"Natsu, what are you doing in here?" I asked. He shrugged. "I have no idea; they just picked me up and threw me in here like I was some old baggage. You?" He asked. He was avoiding looking at my face, so he settled on looking at the ground.
"Well they threw me in here because they wanted me to talk to you. But you know I can't do that when you find the ground more interesting." I said crossing my arms over my chest. He sighed and slowly raised his head. "I'm sorry. I-" He paused.
"You don't have to apologize Natsu, I should be the one doing that. I mean I am the one who pretty much rejected you and ran away." I said sadly. He gave out a weak laugh and sat down on the ground.
"Nah, I'm the idiot that kissed you. I knew I shouldn't have, I just don't know what came over me." He said. I sat down next to him and glanced at him.
"I actually really enjoyed that kiss." I whispered. He looked over at me in surprise. "But, I ran away because I didn't know what to do. I knew I wasn't going to be able to progress with you, if that's what was going to happen." I said. He stayed quiet, his face contorted in confusion.
"My father, right before I went to Karaoke, decided to tell me some important news that he had kept from me for a couple of weeks." I took a deep breath and dug into my pocket pulling out a very nice ring and placing it on my left hand.
"He told me that Gray and I were to be married." I said feeling a tear roll down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away. "And that I can never see you again." I whispered. The room was dead silent. I was afraid of what his reaction was going to be.
"You shouldn't have to marry that stripper." He growled. I turned to look at him, his eyes were little slits and his mouth was contorted into a scowl. "I won't let you marry him." He said standing up. I also stood up.
"But I have to Natsu! There is no other way. My father is a controlling man and will do anything to get what he wants. And he wants a very good relationship with the Fullbuster's, so what better way to do that than to have they're only son marry his only daughter." I said my voice cracking and the tears starting to flow out. Natsu pulled me into a hug and stroked my hair.
"We'll get you out of this, don't worry." He whispered kissing the top of my head. I frowned and looked up at him. "What are you going to do? My dad despises you, what makes you think you can get me out of this?" I questioned. He smirked. "Just trust me, but for now you and I need to stay friends and act like nothing has happened ok? I want you practicing your butt off for the concert because I won't be able to come teach you anymore." He said. I sighed.
"Ok, can I just ask one thing from you?" I questioned feeling a blush painting my cheeks. He titled his head ever so slightly with furrowed eyebrows. Damn why does he have to look so irresistible? I got up on my tippy toes and touched my lips to his gently. He jumped in surprise, but gladly returned the kiss, tightening his hold on me. I pressed harder, trying to get my body as close to his as possible as the kiss started to heat up the room. He wrapped one arm all the way around my waist and his other hand buried into my golden locks. He gently pushed me against the wall as our tongues danced together. I groaned and ran my fingers up and down his chiseled chest through his uniform, little goose-bumps popping up from his skin. I gave out a hearty breath when he broke away from my lips and started to trail down my jawline and to my neck, where he suckled the skin gently.
"Natsu.." I breathed his name out knocking my head against the wall giving him better access. He growled in gratitude and continued down further to my chest, his lips dancing across my collarbone. I gripped the end of his jacket and bit my lip, trying to make as little noise as possible. He suddenly pulled away, and with my help we both un-buttoned his purple coat and threw it to the side. He started to work on his dress shirt as I started to take off my jacket as well. Once his white shirt popped open showing his amazing abs, I attacked him in a kiss and ran my hand all over his exposed skin. He lifted me up against the wall a tad aggressively as I wrapped my legs around his waist. I pulled away from his lips and started to lift my shirt above my head.
Knock, Knock.
That noise was the worst possible sound in the universe. "Hey are you guy's done talking yet? You've been in there for almost an hour; all of the girls went home." Erza asked. I took a deep breath. "Yeah just give us about fifteen minutes." I said, my voice still slightly shaking. I looked back over at Natsu and gave him a sad smiled. He gripped my waist and brought me down onto my feet.
"Sorry, I kind of lost control." He said with a sheepish smile. I laughed. "It's ok, I did too. I guess it was worth it though. It's a good way to sort of close off our 'relationship' for good." I said a frown dawning on both of our faces. Natsu bent down and picked up my jacket and handed it to me. I straightened out my shirt and placed the coat on. He started to button his shirt back up, but I held his hands stopping him from doing so. I bent down and placed a kiss on the exposed skin and gradually went higher as I looped the white buttons through each hole. I finally had reached his pectorals and gave a gentle kiss to each and then trailed up his neck, nibbling on the tough skin.
"Lucy." He groaned, a weird noise stumbling from his throat. I smirked and finally went up to his chin and then gave his cheeks a kiss, and then his nose and finally pushed my swollen lips against his. It was gentle and tender, a kiss that made me want to pop up my leg from behind like in the old fashioned movies. We broke apart and both gave each other a sad glance.
"You drive me crazy, I hope you know." He whispered kissing my head and reaching for his jacket that I had carelessly thrown on the other side of the large closet. I smiled and brushed through the tangles in my hair with my fingers. I examined Natsu's face giggling when I saw some stains from my lipstick on his neck. I wiped it off and gave him a peck on the lips. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair also.
"Do I look presentable?" I questioned straightening out my jacket. He nodded and turned to the door grasping the handle in his large hand, the one that were running through my hair and all over my skin only moments ago. I shivered and looked away from him as he opened the door. All of the host members were crowded around the door waiting in anticipation on the outcome of their plan.
"We are all better now you guy's so would you back off?" I questioned. Everyone sighed in relief, but when I glanced at my girlfriends, they all gave me knowing looks. I frowned at them about ready to say something when the doors to the room were quietly opened and then closed. Lisanna stood there with a small smile on her face.
"Natsu, I came here to tell you something." She said walking towards all of us. I noticed how both Erza and Mira stiffened.
"What's up Lis?" He asked with his big grin, the one that made all girls swoon and faint. She blushed and grasped his hands.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to give me a second chance." She said. I froze, my heart suddenly coming to a halt, at least that's what it felt like. But it completely shattered when Natsu spoke two words.
"Of course!"
I slammed the door behind me with such force that it shook the entire room. Gray followed behind me cautiously. I threw my bag onto my bed so hard I could have made a hole in the mattress.
"I can't believe that back stabbing bastard!" I screamed throwing a pillow at the wall. Gray stood in the corner, too scared to even take a step closer.
"God after all of that he goes and accepts that slut's invitation to have sex I just know it!" I growled throwing another pillow.
"GOD DAMN IT!" I screamed jumping onto my bed and burying my face into the comforter. I felt the tears finally come. And unfortunately it wasn't a gentle crying session, it was the full blown sobbing very loudly and hiccupping every couple of seconds crying session. I felt Gray rub my back gently to soothe me.
"He said he would try to get us out of our marriage, but I guess that was shot to hell!" I said. "Lucy maybe this is part of his plan, maybe he did this for a reason." Gray said, even uncertain of his own words.
"Yeah right, this is Natsu we're talking about here; he would never use someone like that. He's too kind hearted." I whispered. Gray sighed and collapsed next to me.
"So what really happened in the closet?" He questioned. I sighed and touched my lips that were still tingling. "We had a very heated make out session." I said with a bright blush on my cheeks. He gave out a laugh.
"That's what everyone thought." He said stroking my hair gently. "You're not mad are you?" I questioned. He snorted. "How could I be mad if you loved him Lucy? I can't control your feelings." He said. I sighed. "I guess you're right."
"So I guess I should bring you up to date on what's going on." He said sitting up. I wiped away my tears and also sat up.
"The concert that we were going to hold has been canceled, so instead we will have you and Natsu perform at our next Host party." He said.
"Which is?" I questioned. He laughed nervously. "Tomorrow." He said. I felt my eyes widen. "No, No and No I am not performing Gray! I'm not ready for that yet. I wasn't supposed to play for another two weeks!" I said. He shrugged.
"I'm sorry I can't control that! But on the good side, there are no classes tomorrow because of our party." My eyes got even bigger. "You guys can do that?" I questioned. He nodded.
"It's because a lot of people participate. It's a huge festival that every club is in but the Host Club is the one that is throwing the party because, well we're the hosts. It's outside while all the beautiful sakura's are blooming. Everyone dresses in traditional wear and so do we host members. For tomorrow, you shall not be a guest, but be a host, for the men." He said. I felt my heart drop to my stomach.
"You have got to be kidding me." I mumbled. He shook his head. "Nope, we have an outfit all ready for you, so just come with your violin tomorrow at seven sharp." He said. I gulped. This was so not what I planned to happen. I was about to retort, but I heard a guitar being strummed outside. A man started to sing rather loud and obnoxious.
"You have got to be kidding me." I said once more standing up and walking over to my window and gazing passed the curtains to see a spikey golden haired male singing his heart out, banquets of roses surrounding his feet. I slapped a hand to my face. Gray came up from behind me.
"What in the world is Loke doing here?" He asked. I sighed and unclasped the lock on the window.
"He has a thing for me and won't leave me alone." I pushed open the window and leaned against the frame.
"You better call the fire department Loke because I'm gonna set all of the roses on fire with your guitar as a stick for my marshmallow." I yelled out to him. He gazed up at me and got down on one knee.
"Lucy my darling, you golden lion has come calling for you." He said. I rolled my eyes. "Loke go home or I'll throw you in the fire too." I said. He didn't even flinch. I sighed.
"Fine, just let me call the entire population of girls at our school so they can come mob you." I said picking up my phone pretending to dial a number.
"NO DON'T DO THAT! Ok I'll leave." With that he sprinted away from my house. I turned off my phone with a smirk.
"Way too easy." I said.
Ok I know it wasn't too terribly long, but I hope I made up for that by updating pretty quickly and giving you a nice juicy NaLu moment. So can anyone guess who the bitch…ahem I mean witch was? Haha I actually really like Lisanna don't get me wrong, but it's so easy to make her that kind of girl even though she is so sweet. I just don't like NaLi, it just doesn't click with me. And if you like NaLi, no offense, but why the hell are you reading this story then? Haha no hate though. Anyslut…. Feel free to review my lovelies. Remember the dark side always has cookies. :D
