Well gosh, it's been a long time hasn't it. Haha, well congrats your girl is finally back for some more chapters! I'm currently revising some older chapters, because I say, "y'all," too much, (I'm a Texan) and because so many grammar and spelling mistakes.

Without further ado, welcome back guys to Let Me Love You.


Natsu

"Initiation!?"

Today was our weekly Fairy Tail meeting to officially discuss our current missions. However, today was different because we had a new member joining us... Lucy.

"Yes, Lucy. You have to have an initiation to join us, so we know you're apart of us now," Erza spoke with a devilish smile that sent chills down my spine in a scared manner.

The blonde girl looked timidly between the group of pre-existing members seated in desks within the empty classroom. She sat in the teachers desk in the very front, so we would could all view her reactions.

She nervously started tensing up, looking at each of us in the eyes, her glance begging for help.

"I didn't sign up for this! I thought you all made people happy, not torture them into your club!" Lucy protested with her eyebrows raised in dead.

Her reaction alone made me grin half heartedly, because I was suppressing a laugh. How bad did she think the initiation really was.

"Levy, bring out test of faith." Erza called out in a menacing voice, pulling her scarlet hair out of her face so Lucy could see her serious demeanor.

Upon hearing her request, Levy stood up from the desk and walked into the supply closet in the corner of the room. She quickly retrieved a box from it, walking it over to Erza.

As the rest of us quietly watched amused, we just kind of watched Lucy protest and try to hide herself in the chair.

Once Erza took a pink pen out of the box, she walked over to the Lucy, hiding the pen by her side. The whole time she kept a very concentrated expression, making even the blonde nervous.

"Your hand," she commanded, causing Lucy to reluctantly bring one of her hands towards Erza's group. Without a word, she took hold of the small hand and raised the pen to it drawing our emblem.

After seeing what the red haired girl was truly doing, Lucy let out a deep breath she had been holding, relieved. She seemed to have been fearing something more outrageous.

When Erza finished drawing the fairy tail insignia she commented, "Done."

"That's it?"

"Yup," I called out, finally breaking the silence amongst the rest of us.

"Its just eyeliner, so we have to spray it with this hairspray to ensure it lasts longer. In a month or less we will probably have to redraw it, but we already had a redo day this month so you may have to wait." Levy explained futhermore, as she sprayed Lucy's mark with a big can of Aqua net.

After they were finished they both took a seat, while Erza remained at the front ready to lead our meeting of the day.

"Now onto more pressing matters, our mission. So far for the dance we only have a few couples paired off to go as dates. As Fairy Tail members it is our job to ensure happiness for others, so coming up soon we need to work our asses off to make sure everyone is at least satisfied going with a date or alone." She stated, going over our plan from the last few meetings.

"Where do we start off though, because the people we've talked to seemed uninterested." Gray repeated with a bored expression, I returned with a glare in his direction.

"We can start here, with each other." Erza stated with a surprising smile, seeing as she usually looks more menacing than kind. "For example...Natsu. Who are you going with?"

Upon hearing my name, I raised in eyebrow in confusion. I was necessarily paying attention, I was more thinking about the pork chops Grandine and Igneel were going to make for dinner tonight. Hmmm.

"Natsu!" A voice said breaking my lack of concentration again.

"What?" I called back, annoyed.

"Who is Natsu-san going to the dance with?" This time, Juvia inquired, finishing Erza's thought.

I hadn't really thought about going to the dance at all, much less with anyone. I began scanning around the room, trying to think of some excuse or idea before it hit me.

The second I saw her chocolate doe eyes I couldn't help what came tumbling out my mouth, "How about Lucy?"
