Chapter Three: Secondarily

"Oi, Lucy!"

All three girls turned at the sound of the blond mage's name and saw Natsu and Happy jogging towards them, one of his hands raised as he approached. When he got close enough, he looked Erza over with a frown then turned to Lucy and Levy, who sported similar outfits to Erza.

"What are you all dressed up for?" he asked.

Lucy rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, a frown pulling at her pretty lips. "Natsu, I told you that today was Girl's Night Out."

Natsu's frown turned into a pout. "You mean that thing that means you can't hang out with me and Happy tonight? I thought that was tomorrow." His voice was beginning to hedge toward whining.

Lucy couldn't stop a small smile that brightened her face and dissolved her irritation a little. Sometimes, Natsu was too much.

"No, it's tonight. But don't worry, I'll be over tonight afterwards."

Natsu brightened a little at that and nodded, though his pout was still firmly in place. Lucy felt a tad guilty and it pushed her to step toward him and reach up and wrap her arms around his neck. He blushed a little at her action, even though they had been dating for a little over two months, and his arms went automatically around her waist.

Running her hands through his hair, she smiled coyly at him through her eyelashes. Leaning forward, she whispered in his ear, "I'll make it up to you, tonight. I promise. It'll just be you and me, no interruptions."

His face erupted into a raging blush but his pout had been traded for a wide, silly grin. Tightening his arms around his girlfriend's waist, he kissed her on the lips chastely for a moment, before pulling back.

"I heard that," Happy said jovially from above them, effectively ruining the couple's moment and embarrassing Lucy into pulling away.

"Stupid cat!" she muttered as the girls continued on their way after Natsu and Happy left. "Ruined a perfectly good moment."

Beside her, Erza smirked. "I can only guess at what he overheard."

Lucy turned her face away from her friend's knowing gaze. "Erza!"
