Chapter 3.5: A New Book, A New Discovery
Muahahahaha! I'm gonna be such a troll and add an omake before actually continuing on with the story, huehuehue. But, nevertheless, I put in a lot of thought into this chapter, so please enjoy reading it ;D
DISCLAIMER: IF I OWNED FAIRY TAIL, I WOULD MAKE A WHOLE MANGA CHAPTER AND EPISODE ABOUT GALE ALREADY. ALL CREDIT FOR CHARACTERS GO TO HIRO MASHIMA!
*Lucy's Perspective*
"Natsu! Are you even listening?" I asked inquisitively, a bit ticked off that my teammate was not paying half of his attention span to what I was talking about. "Sorry, Luce, I was just thinking about something unimportant." He replied sheepishly, scratching the side of his cheek subconsciously. "What were you talking about again? A new book again or something?" He continued, trying to keep the conversation going.
"Never mind. It wasn't that important anyways." I huffed, sighing a huge breath of disappointment. The new book that I had been eagerly awaiting for was the book about the magical charms of Earthland. I came upon a segment that stated: If one is ever entranced by the love charm, only their future soulmate can break its effect.
Natsu…you broke it, didn't you? On the day we met. I can't say it aloud now, but I really do hope that you could feel the same about me as how I feel about you. Considering your denseness, I would probably have more chances to get a stick to confess to me though.
A light rosy hue tinted my cheeks like paint marking a blank canvas. Without realizing it, I started staring at the mage before me eating his plate of fire pasta, which just got delivered to our table. However, the blue Exceed sitting at the same table would not turn a blind eye to such a sight. (Obviously...who wouldn't? /) Rolling his tongue, he exclaimed, "You likkeeeee him."
Natsu glanced up and noticed that I was staring heatedly at him. He put on his signature grin, and said cheekily," Do you enjoy looking at me that much? Lucy, you are really a weirdo." That statement made me come back to my senses. Flustered, I denied immediately, stuttering, "A-a-as I-If!" Little did I know what the fire dragon slayer was thinking about when I was babbling on about my new book.
*Natsu's perspective*
Recently, all that has been going through my mind is Lucy. I wonder what's happening to me. I probably spent a lot of time with her. Or maybe it was because of seeing her future self perish right before my eyes. Tch, that bastard dared to attempt to kill Lucy, thank god that I kicked his ass in the end. Even though sometimes I may call her weird or mean, she is a vital part of me. She is my closest nakama. She is etched on my mind 24/7. Every moment spent with her is left in my mind so imminently, I would be appalled if I had forgotten anything I went through with her anyways.
Only then did I realize, I can never bear to see Lucy get hurt ever again. If she leaves my life, I don't even know what I may succumb to. She's my best friend, after all. We shared so many moments together. I liked the warmth and the alluring scent of her body when she thanked me for destroying the Eclipse portal. The slow trickle of her tears. I wonder what led her to shed tears. Talking about tears, I really hate to see her cry, don't I? I hate it whenever she cries, no wonder I always strive for my very best to prevent from seeing those beads of transparent liquid travel down her rosy cheeks. Her chocolate brown eyes pooling with…─
"Natsu! Are you even listening?" Lucy asked, curiosity etching her face. She tilted her head to the left a little, a sign that she was pondering over why I was zoned out when she was talking to me. I replied almost instantaneously, rambling in the process," What were you talking about again? A new book again or something?" She seemed somewhat disheartened that I was not giving her the full attention that she desired, causing a stab of guilt to pierce my conscious. Just then, Mira came over and put the plate of fire pasta that I ordered down gently, emanating the peaceful aura that she usually does and said," Here you go!"
Once the smell of the simmering dish wafted into my nose, I began chowing down on the delectable dish like I have not eaten in centuries. I was so immersed in gobbling down the fire pasta that I did not realize a pair of chocolate brown orbs staring at me. Until, Happy stated, "You likkkkeee him."
Brimming with curiosity, I glanced up, only to notice that Lucy was staring at me, almost to the point that her gaze was intense. Million replies ran through my mind at the drop of a hat and I found the answer that I had been looking for. I put on my signature grin and stated cheekily," Do you enjoy looking at me that much? Gosh, Lucy, you are really a weirdo."
Her eyes widen upon finally coming to her senses whilst her face turned as scarlet as Erza's hair. She averted her gaze away from me, and stuttered," A-a-as I-If!"
Wow, she looks extremely adorable when she blushes.
Hahaha, I'm done with THAT! How did you like my NaLu Omake chapter? It's filled with cold, hard facts! So, yeap. Please feel free to, I don't know…drop a review some time? Hmm…I'm going to continue with the flow of the story for Chapter 4, so please favorite and follow this story. Your support means everything to me!

Reply: Awww, thanks for your support. Yeap, I'm going to make it as mysterious as possible because a good fanfiction will obviously need a lot of suspense and mystery, right? Sooooo, yeap. I'm touched that you enjoy reading my little story and gonna add tons of spice. However, romance must still be added because it's a romance story...heh heh ^^ I appreciate your support very very much!
