Natsu POV—chapter six

Natsu POV—chapter six

Before the events of what happened in the previous chapter, we are brought back to the time when Gray dragged Natsu and Gajeel out of the class room, the latter of them struggling the most. As soon as they were all alone, plus Lisanna who had followed the bunch, Gray released the duo. Now they were in a quiet place behind the school, where only a few students came to get away to read, chat, and the occasional fuck. Luckily, there weren't any vistors today other than them. "That Juvia chick…always giving me those eyes. Like she was about to devour me or something." Gray shivered while Natsu was adjusting his scarf, the one he always wore. His father had given it to him while he was very young, and even though Natsu could barely remember Igneel's face, the pink haired boy kept it very close to him at all times. Gajeel was looking grumpy as usual, his glare focused on Gray. "You piece of shit, dragging me out here. You better be buying me lunch after this." Natsu face looked up, his features lighting up at the mention of food. Ah yes, Fairy Academy's Food Court. It had a wide range of food from all different kinds of cultures, Natsu's favorite being Indian. It was sweet and super spicy, just how he liked it. The star soccer play patted Gray's back enthusiastically. "Oh oh, me too! I'm outta money so, I'll be depending on y – Ow ow ow!" Natsu felt the sudden pain come from his hand and realized Gray was bending back his fingers- hard. "Pft, as if I'll pay for you again flame brain. Don't you remember last time I was tricked into getting you food?" Gray growled and released Natsu's hand, leaving him to pout. The memory flashed between the three boys,all recalling when Gray had lost a bet and now was forced to pay for it.

"Fine, let's just get it over with." A younger looking Gray walked up to the cafeteria lady, pulling out his small navy wallet. From it he took out a small card and gave it to the women. "Here, let the guy order what he wants and put it on this card please." That had been mistake number one. Gray turned around and flinched not expecting to see Natsu in his current state. His eyes were shaped like meat-on-bones, and water dripped like waterfalls from his open mouth. He was bent over like a gorilla, which only made him look stupider. "Jeez Natsu… anyways we'll be sitting in the usual spot… join us when you are done getting your food." This had been mistake number two. As Gray and the rest of the gang sat down on the middle school food court, Gray could hear Natsu's voice occasionally. "This… oh! This too… Hmm is this spicy?... Then yes! Oh, make it five! Let's see, pft, I'll just have both!" It made Gray worry but, he didn't act on it. And that marks mistake number three. He could hear heavy foot steps to his right and as soon as Gray looked over, he dropped the fork he had been holding. There was Natsu, somehow balancing three trays. Each tray carrying more than the maximum capacity. In his mouth was Gray's card and the receipt. Laughter from the table could be heard and as soon as Gray pulled the slip of paper from Natsu's mouth, his face paled. "F-f-fifty-two d-dollars..?! FOR A SCHOOL LUNCH!"

Natsu could see that Gray had remembered the same thing just now and smiled worriedly. "Okay okay, I see your point. But hey! You offered…" Before Gray could swipe a punch at him, Lisanna stepped in. "Um Natsu, you know I have an extra lunch box… it's a bento if you're interested in it. " Her sweet smile followed up her statement, her slightly blushing face copied straight out of an anime. But Natsu wasn't really focused on how she was acting or really what she was trying to do. His mind stopped working the second she mentioned extra lunch box. "Really Lisanna? I can have it?" He smiled, the one that made all the girls weak at the knees. "Yup! I did make it after all especially for y-" "Awesome! Free food, free food!" Natsu's chanting blurred out Lisanna's words, barely being able to make out what she had just said. Lisanna coughed slightly and quickly Natsu looked back at her, wondering what else she had to say. "Anyways, it's back in the classroom. Let me just go and grab it. I'll meet you at the bottom of the outside stairs okay?" And like that she left to go retrieve the lunch box. Natsu's stomach growled loudly, his gaze looking around. "Isn't there anything I can eat meanwhile?" He plopped down on the ground, the long green grass a soft cushion. Gajeel was leaning against a tree, his eyes closed. Natsu thought he was asleep but when the pierced man spoke, he knew he was wrong. "I'm waiting for the stripper to go get me my food." Gajeel barked, his eyes still closed. "Ha! I ain't no room delivery service. I'm going there now but, if you want food you have to come with me." Gray started walking his way over, along the way his blazer had come off somehow and girls squealed as he walked past them. Natsu knew Gray, Gajeel, Laxus and even himself had been given the titled 'school idols'; nicknamed the Tails. He didn't know why the four of them were like this, but it was only recently that Natsu found out about it. It apparently started freshman year but he only began to realize it during sophomore.

"Oh my god it's the Tails!"

"EEEEP!"

"Oh gosh, how do I look?"

"Girrll, what I would do with a guy like Natsu…"

It was always like that back then. Girls would whisper about him and his friends, their face flushed with fantasies. They would come up to him, flirt and ask for his email/number. He always managed to find a way out of it, either saying he hadn't memorized it yet or, he was in the process of getting a new phone still. Natsu had never been interested in girls. Not that he was gay, just that simply romance wasn't on his mind right now. He was focused on soccer. Soccer and sports was his life right now. He loved the thrill of it and the endurance all soccer players had to deal with gave him goosebumps – the good kind. Only once did he ever think about love and relationships, and that was with her. Yup, 'her'. Even until today he didn't know her name. They had never spoken, even though they were in the same class during sophomore year. They would make eye contact several times. It got to the point where it became a game between them and would make silly faces at each other during class. The times Natsu did try to speak with her, it seemed like she refused to talk – running away when possible. Natsu felt like maybe she was just shy. Her face was always blushing when she saw him, averting eye contact when he spoke to her. But then it just got to the extreme, where she flat out ignored him. Slowly their childish games stopped and Natsu forgot about her. That was until today. Natsu had left early for soccer practice and when it finally finished, he changed into his school uniform. He had gone to class early, knowing the rest of his friends were still probably at Cana's. As he sat down at his seat, he looked at the name cards that were placed to help students find their place. Directly in front of his seat was Juvia Lockser. It gave him a laugh, knowing Gray would be sooo delighted to be sitting near her, as Gray was right next to Natsu. Next to Juvia's seat was someone named, Lucy Heartfilia. The named seemed familiar, but no face popped into Natsu's mind. 5 minutes were left until class started and Natsu watched as Gajeel entered the room. It was then he felt his heat stop. Juvia had walked into the room, her face smiling. It was who was behind her that gave Natsu a heart attack. She had long blonde hair, and brown eyes that could warp you into another world. She looked so familiar, and the moment the both made eye contact he knew who she was. She was 'her'. She had blushed and looked away, just like she always did. His gaze followed her as she took a seat next to Juvia, and all the pieces seem to fall together. It was Lucy Heartfilia.

The boys had managed to get some food, Natsu eating a small piece of bread – just enough to hold him until Lisanna got back. They waited near the bottom of the stairs, chatting with one another. The voices of girls caused the trio to look up, only to see a flying object hurtling down onto them. Natsu looked up, squinting his eyes. "What the…" And like that, the shoe had landed right onto Gajeel's face, sliding off only seconds later. Natsu took a few moments to comprehend what had just happened, and when he did he couldn't stop the laughter that erupted from him. Following him, Gray also bent over, his mouth being covered by his hand. 'Oh wow, didn't see that coming Haha!" Natsu looked to see who had kicked the shoe off, only to see a small petite blue haired girl trembling in fear. It caught him off guard to see who was next to her. Lucy. He blinked several times only to realize in the corner of his eyes, Gajeel was about to charge at the girl with full force. "WOAH, WOAH. Calm down big guy – it was just an accident." Gray took hold on Gajeel's left arm, pulling him back. After being shocked of Lucy's appearance, Natsu finally grabbed onto Gajeel's right, pulling him back as well. "Shit Gajeel, you can't hit a girl!"

"I wasn't going to hit her!"

"Oh yeah, then what were you going to do?"

"…."

Being the strongest built of the group, Gajeel made it out of Natsu's and Gray's grasp. He stormed off, his mood clearly much worse than before. Gray followed him, hoping to calm him down. He had told Natsu to stay here and wait for Lisanna, not wanting to worry her. The small blue haired girl walked over to Natsu, her little body still somewhat shaking. "Oh my goodness, oh my god! I am so, so sorry! The shoe just slipped off and, and, it just happened to be o-on the face and…!" Natsu laughed and raised his hand in front of his face, shaking them to give reassurance. "Ahh, don't worry about it! Gajeel just needs to cool off. He's over exaggerating! It was pretty hilarious. " He smiled, and his gaze slowly made his way over to Lucy. She was standing there, almost as if she was trying to hide herself behind Juvia. Being the straight forward kind of guy, he decided to walk up to the blonde bombshell. "Uh, hey! I'm Natsu. " He smiled, extending his hand. Lucy hesitantly took his hand and shook it once. "Oh, I know. Oh! I mean, I know because you're like famous around here… I mean, I don't wanna sound like a know it all, I just happen to I mean –" Natsu chuckled. Her nervousness was kinda cute. Did this mean she remembers me? The thought flew through his mind, but he kept that to himself. As he watched her try to compose herself, she finally spoke once again. "Heh, I-I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia."

"I know."

AHHH, AHHHH. Finally finished it. Meeep. I usually only write 1k word count, this reaches a little under 2k!

Anyways, your thoughts?Love it?Hate it?Please Review it! Also, Stupid Lucy! If she hadn't been so shy before, she could have been banging with Natsu D:

Ohhh well. I'm sure there's still hope... right?
