Costume Shopping and Drawing
I don't own Fairy Tail. All rights and everything belong to the creator, Hiro Mashima. I also don't own Jupiter Ascending, just in case. How's it going everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far. I want to thank RageOfPhoenix again and Flygone125 for the compliments. Your wish is granted, so here's a new chapter. Hope you all enjoy.
(Normal POV)
Two weeks had passed, which means the Fall Festival is only two weeks away, and things have been crazy for Natsu. For one thing, homework was sure as crazy for him since he keeps wanting to go to somewhere far away from it. Another thing was that tomorrow, Natsu will draw Lucy for his assignment. Natsus' feelings for Lucy had grew a lot, but didn't know if she felt the same, so he decided to let things keep going the way things are and wait for the perfect chance to tell her. But what Natsu didn't know was that Lucy felt the exact same thing.
And speaking about that, the last thing here was that Natsu and Lucy have been getting teased on a lot lately. Ever since the two of them have been hanging out a lot lately, Levy and the others had been teasing them on how they're madly in love with each other. No matter how many times they tell them, the teasing continues, even if Natsu brawls with the guys, without Lucy or Erza seeing it first.
Back to now, Natsu, Lucy, and the others are now checking out a costume store in the city for the Fall Festival. There was just one tiny problem….. the guys were crying in agony after being taken to several stores because the girls were shopping. All 4 guys were carrying boxes and bags while the girls were talking and such while they look for their costumes. The guys finally found a spot in the store to sit and rest for a few.
"I thought Luce already had enough clothes."
"I can't believe how much Juvia bought."
"Why does Shrimp have to buy so many books?"
"I can't believe Erza likes cake so much that she bought 20 of them."
20 minutes passed, and the guys were wondering why it was taking so long. Without another second of waiting, Natsu stood up to go find the girls. When he found the girls, he was met with a scary, ticked off Erza.
"Natsu, if you do not return to your seat, I'll make sure you don't see the light of day again."
Natsu shivered so badly, you would think he was terribly sick. Without hesitation, Natsu roadrunner back to his seat. When he returned, the guys knew there was only one thing, or in this case person, could cause him so much fear. It was when Jellal spoke to Natsu.
"I'm guessing Erza didn't want us to see their costumes?"
Natsu nodded with tremendous speed.
"And I'm guessing she threated you big time if you peaked?"
Again, the nod and the guys resumed their wait.
Another 10 minutes later, the girls returned with their costumes in bags, so the guys won't be able to see or get a pounding by Erza.
"Ok guys, we're done, so you guys go look and we won't peak either."
The guys nodded and went off to search for their costumes. After 10 minutes of looking, Gray, Gajeel, and Jellal found and paid for their costumes. Only Natsu was left and he was still looking for the perfect one.
Another minute passed and Natsu then found the perfect costume. He had found a big red dragon costume with big wings and tail. It just wouldn't be Natsu without something that involved dragons. He was thinking about how he was going to prank everyone until Gray ruined his moment.
"HURRY UP, YOU PYRO FREAK. WE'RE STARVING HERE AND WE'RE ABOUT TO HEAD OFF WITHOUT YOU!"
"SHUT UP, ICE FOR BRAINS! I'M ABOUT TO CHECK OUT SO KEEP YOUR PANTS ON. THAT'S ASSUMING IF YOU'RE WEARING ANY THOUGH!" After that remark, Natsu heard a 'oh crap' from Gray and many shrieks from others, so he hurried up and paid for his costume.
When Natsu got back, he saw Gray pulverized and knew that Erza beaten him up for stripping. Natsu laughed at Gray, which resulted in almost a brawl between the two if it wasn't for cold blooded stares coming from Erza and Lucy. So in the end, Natsu and Gray avoided being maimed and went to enjoy a meal with others at a local café.
At the café, everyone was talking about how things were going, how impressed they were that they managed a half of the semester so far, and etc.
After that, the torture continued for the men when the girls found a makeup and perfume store and they went in.
While girls were browsing, the guys did everything in their power to avoid the samples and such. In the end, they got sprayed so many times that Gajeel was about to go berserk, but was stop by a surprisingly angry Levy (Huh, go figure lol). Along with that, the guys got makeup on them when they weren't looking and now look like clowns.
When Lucy and the others saw their looks, they didn't stop laughing for 20 minutes and guys wished they were already home.
Thankfully, their wish was granted when the day was starting to die down. Gajeel, Gray, Jellal, Erza, Levy, and Juvia headed back to the dorms while Natsu and Lucy headed back for the apartments. Once they got back, Natsu and Lucy had to make a couple trips because of all the shopping Lucy did and Natsu wanted to bring his costume to his place without Lucy seeing it.
"Alright Luce, that's the last bit of luggage. Are you still up for that drawing tomorrow?"
"Of course. I meant it when I said I would help you and that's that."
"Awesome! Thanks again Luce. You have no idea how grateful I am."
Both of them shared a laughter, smile, and hug before Natsu headed back over to his place. After unloading and such, Natsu made sure he had all of his supplies for tomorrow. Once he was satisfied, Natsu headed for bed to get some zzz's.
OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
It was now Sunday morning and Natsu was getting ready for Lucy to come over. Natsu tidy up his place, took a shower, ate breakfast, and got the perfect spot for him to draw Lucy at, now all that's left is to wait for Lucy.
20 minutes after lunch time, a knock came to Natsu's door. Natsu went to the door, but looked through the peephole first and saw blond hair and Natsu knew it was her. When he opened the door, Natsu swore he saw the most beautiful angel there was.
Lucy appeared in a white blouse, black skirt, white knee length socks, and white high heels (It's the outfit Lucy wore in the 15th ending of Fairy Tail). She also had her hair down and light makeup on her. She just absolutely looked beautiful. Natsu was so mesmerized that he almost fell if he hadn't grabbed the door before it happened. Lucy was concerned about this that she decided to speak up.
"Hey Natsu, are you ok there?"
Natsu finally woke from his daze before things got a little too weird.
"Yeah I'm fine, please come in."
Lucy then walked, still a little concern, but trusted him until something happened.
"So where did you want to draw me?"
"I've set a spot for you next to the window in the living room. I figure with the extra light, it would brighten up the drawing. Is that ok with you?"
Lucy smiled and nodded before heading off to the living room. After Natsu got all of his tools together, he headed for the living room and was still amazed when saw Lucy there. The sun was reflecting off of her and she just seems to shine like the most amazing diamond there was. Natsu shook his head before she noticed and had a smile on his face while taking his place on a chair with his paint board in front of him and had Lucy in his view too.
"Alright Luce, are you ready?"
"Sure, what do you want me to do?"
"Just sit there and give me the best smile you have."
Lucy then gave him a smile that would melt anyone's hearts and Natsu started drawing before he gets mesmerized again.
Natsu drew every detail of Lucy before moving on to the face. While he was drawing, Lucy started fidgeting because she couldn't hold the pose as long as she wants.
"Natsu, can I stop smiling? I feel like we've been at it for a while."
"Just be patient Luce and it's only been a half hour. I'm making sure I get every detail of your face here."
Lucy only pouted before smiling again. After another 8 minutes, Natsu finished Lucy's face.
"Ok Luce, you can stop smiling now. But stay still for just a little longer."
"Finally, I thought my face was going to split."
"I'm sure your face wouldn't split no matter what."
"And why do you say that?"
"It's because I think you have the greatest smile than anyone else and that nothing could ruin it."
Lucy blushed big time, but tried to make sure Natsu didn't see it. Lucy remembered that no one had ever complimented about her smile before and that Natsu said it was the greatest. Lucy felt like she could cry of joy knowing that he thinks of her like that. Now if only it was easy to confess to him.
After another half hour, Natsu finished drawing Lucy and marked where what color would be at.
"Alright, and that's that. You can move now Lucy."
Lucy finally got up to stretch saying that it was torture sitting on a stool for so long.
"Thank goodness. Can I see it?"
"Sure, just let me finished one last thing annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd….. done."
Lucy then walked over to Natsu and when she saw the drawing, she was in absolute aw. Even though he didn't add the color yet, it still looked amazing. He was able to draw everything and it was just outstanding.
"Oh my God, Natsu, you are amazing. This is the best picture I've ever seen in my life."
"Well thanks Luce, but it's still not finished yet. I figure I finish the rest this week with an idea I had in mind."
"Oh really? What is it?"
"Sorry, but that's a secret until it's finished and such."
"Fine, I guess I can wait, but still, you are just amazing."
"I should be saying the same to you. You just look beautiful here."
Natsu blushed when he said that and turned his head so Lucy didn't see it. But what he didn't know was that Lucy was blushing redder than before, but was also smiling big time. Without hesitation, she hugged Natsu from behind, which startled him at first, but had a grin afterwards, and had her face next to his.
"Thank you Natsu, you are just so sweet."
After that, Lucy gave Natsu a peck on the cheek and that was it for him. Natsu finally collapse from the beauty that is known as Lucy while also mumbling funny.
"Wow, if this is heaven, I don't ever want to leave."
Lucy giggled and helped Natsu up to the couch. After that, she went to his bathroom to get changed into comfortable clothes that she brought over.
Natsu and Lucy then just hanged out in his apartment for the rest of the day while playing games, singing silly and crazy, dancing, and ordering pizza and such for movies. The two of them were having a good time and just enjoyed being with each other.
During the movie, Jupiter Ascending, Natsu and Lucy didn't realize that they fallen asleep on the couch with Lucy on top of Natsu. For the rest of the night, the two of them had the best sleep of their lives not knowing of the current situation.
OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
It was early Monday morning and Lucy was starting to wake up. What she didn't realize was that she felt an arm around her waist and thought someone snuck into her place, but one look around made her realize that she was still in Natsu's place.
When she saw said person in front of her, she almost freaked out with a very blushed face, but didn't panic in order to not wake him up. She slowly got his arm off of her and got up. After gathering her stuff, Lucy wrote a Natsu to let him know about what happened.
But before she headed out, she gave Natsu a kiss on the cheek before saying, "Natsu, I hope you feel the same way I do, because you just make my life better than it was before. I hope one day, I'll have the courage to tell you how I feel about you, but until then, I look forward to more great and fun things with you."
And with that, Lucy left his apartment. But what Lucy didn't know was that even though Natsu was still asleep, he had the biggest smile on his face.
Whooooo nelly. That took every ounce of my brain to come up with this chapter, but it's finally finished. Sorry it took a bit, but just survived my first day of summer school and I'm hoping to write again soon. But I hope you all enjoy this chapter because next chapter is the Fall Festival and I can't wait to write some hilarious humor here lol. I want to point out I didn't want to write about everyone's costumes because I'm still thinking about what they all can wear for the contest. Also, Flygon125, don't worry. I have a plan and I promise, it'll be worth the wait. Until next time, see ya.
