Yes I know it's been a while since I did a chapter of this but I got stuck. Hopefully this makes up for the wait. Unless it doesn't. Then feel free to shoot me.
But if you do, then I can't make more chapters, so think about that for a moment.
…What are we talking about again?
Right, the story.
Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Nine: Can't get enough
It's been a few days since Natsu took off from the guild to go on his mission, and it's been a few days since the last time everyone listened to more of his music without the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer's knowledge. Some of the members, like Mira, were a bit confused that Natsu has yet to return, when the Dragon Slayer told them that he would have been back a day later. However, most of them figured it was nothing to worry about, since it was Natsu they were talking about, he's tough.
Currently, Erza Scarlet was heading from the city of Magnolia and into the forest that reside outside of the city. The reason for coming out here was that Erza was heading directly to where Natsu's and Happy's house were at.
"If I remember correctly, it should be around here." The red haired woman muttered to herself as she continued to make her way through the trees to track down the house that the Fire Dragon Slayer and his Exceed companion lived in.
Speaking of the Exceed, Happy was back at the guild with everyone else at the moment, so the red haired woman didn't have to worry about dealing with Happy for the time being. She knew that Carla would keep his attention, even if it's at the white Exceed's expense.
Believing that she is getting close, the red haired woman turned going around a tree…
…Only to run into a certain blonde Celestial Mage.
"GAH!" Both women shouted out, jumping into a fighting position.
However, Erza and Lucy calmed down when they realized it was just the other.
"Oh, it's you Erza." Lucy spoke up to her, glad that it was only her and not some wild animal or monster.
"Lucy, you gave me a small shock there," The S-Class of Fairy Tail replied back to the blonde. However, confusion then appeared on her face as she looked at the other woman once more, "What are you doing all the way out here?"
This got Lucy to sweat a little, knowing that the red haired woman won't stop until she got an answer from her, before she spoke up to answer.
"I'm just going on a walk that's all." Lucy told her, hoping that would work with her.
"…You're taking a walk outside the city and into the forest and in the direction where Natsu's house is located?" Erza asked, not believing the blonde's lie for a second.
"…Yes?" That came out more as a question than an answer, much to Lucy's dismay.
But then, the blonde realized something.
"Wait, why are YOU all the way out here for?" Lucy questioned with accusing eyes.
This got Erza to widen her eyes a little, before she calmed herself down before replying back to the blonde Celestial Mage of Fairy Tail.
"Natsu wanted me to watch over his house while he's gone, so I'm going to do just that." Erza told her with a straight face.
"…Then why did you wait a few days to do that?" Lucy questioned with a deadpanned stare, knowing that if that was true, the red head wouldn't have waited to just start doing that.
Both the women were silent for a moment before the red head and blonde figured they would just come clean with one another.
"You're going to Natsu's house to listen to more of his music aren't you?" Erza questioned the blonde.
"And you're planning to do the same thing as well?" Lucy also questioned back at the red haired woman.
Both the Reequip Mage and the Celestial Mage sighed at once as they slump their shoulders in defeat.
"Yeah…" Both spoke at once, admitting their true intentions of coming all the way out here for.
Both of them couldn't help it. They loved the way Natsu sang, so they couldn't just wait any longer. They wanted to listen to more of his voice, especially since he's not here himself and out on his job. Granted, they do feel a bit guilty for doing this, since Natsu is unaware, but they wanted to listen to more of his songs.
Besides, both women wanted answers. Many of his songs that they have heard weren't exactly happy or safe. Even after a whole month had passed since they all first discovered the musical talent that the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer possessed, questions filled their minds, questions that they don't have answers too. And by listening to more of his music, they would hope to find at least some answers from them.
"Alright then," Erza started to say, getting the blonde to look back at the red haired woman once more, "We will both listen to only a few of his songs before heading back to the guild understand?" The red haired woman told the Celestial mage. While they knew they shouldn't do this while Natsu's gone, they knew they couldn't just keep listening to every single one of his songs at once.
Lucy nodded in agreement, knowing that it was fair, maybe not to them, but to Natsu.
"I understand." The blonde told the red haired woman, who smiled at her, glad that both of them were in an agreement to only listen to a few before heading back from Natsu's house and back to the guild.
And with that, the two women then headed onward to where the pink haired male's house was located.
Thankfully, it didn't take long as the two women arrived at the small house that Natsu and Happy called home. Not wasting any time, both the red haired woman and the blonde woman then entered the building. Erza made a mental note to tell Natsu about locking his door when he got back from his job.
As they arrived inside, they couldn't help but sweat drop when they saw the mess the house was in.
"They sure made a mess quickly." Lucy stated, remembering the last time she sneaked into Natsu's house only to find it a complete mess, forcing the blonde to clean it up since she couldn't stand it.
…Now that she thought about it, how come she didn't find the music disks on that day?
"I have to agree with you Lucy," Erza replied back to the blonde, making another mental note to tell Natsu about properly cleaning up his house. The red head then turned to look at the blonde woman once more, "Come on, let us see if we can find the CDs."
"Right!" Lucy answered her with a look of determination on her face. It shouldn't be too hard. If Mira managed to find them and bring them back here, then the two of them should be able to find it too.
And for the next few minutes, the women searched for the music CDs that Natsu made and possessed here in this house. During this, both Erza and Lucy had to clean up some of the trash around them since it became too unbearable for the two of them.
Finally though, after this little search, the red head managed to notice something behind a large piece of furniture. Getting an idea of what it could be, the woman proceed to move the furniture out of the way, only to reveal a closet door.
"Could this be it?" Erza questioned, hoping that it was. Why else would Natsu try to hide a closet behind a piece of furniture?
With that thought in mind, she opened the closet door, and to the red haired woman's joy, stacks of Natsu's music disks were all there.
"Lucy! I found them!" Erza called out, getting the blonde's attention, who was at the other side of the small house in the kitchen.
"You did?" The blonde Celestial Mage questioned back, hoping that the red haired woman wasn't just jesting her as she made her way to the S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail.
"I did." Erza responded once more, as Lucy was now next to her as they looked into the closet, seeing the stacks of music CDs Natsu made.
"Man, Mira did a good job putting them back in their usual spot." Lucy told Erza, knowing that Mira went to grab them all herself a few days ago and brought them back, but made sure to put them all in the same spot so Natsu wouldn't notice a difference.
Erza didn't response, but she did nodded. Seeing the large stacks of music CDs, both women couldn't help but wonder just how many songs did Natsu managed to make. The red head then stood up.
"Alright, now let's listen to a few of them." The red haired told the blonde, using her Reequip Magic to summon forth a radio that she stored in her magic space along with her other armors and weapons.
Lucy sweat dropped a little seeing the excited look on the red head's face, as well as seeing how the Reequip Magic user had a radio in her magic space in preparation.
But pushing those thoughts aside, the blonde figured that she was the closet to the stacks of music disks, went to grab one of the disk that were on top of one of the stacks of CDs before showing it to Erza.
"I got one." Lucy told her with a smile, which also got the red head to smile herself.
And with that, the blonde handed the red head the disk. Erza then put the radio on the nearby table in the main living room, putting the music disk in, and proceed to turn the machine on.
"Here we go." Erza spoke as she finished doing just that.
At first, a guitar was the only thing that was heard. But then drums were heard, and then the music then picked up as rock filled the air.
The lyrics were then heard by the two women.
No matter what you will get
don't say something wrong
say something right
Can feel the sweat on my neck
as you cross the room, I'm burning inside
A simple wink and smile, is all i can get back from you
Click, click, boom
Take one last shot
'cause I got nothin' to lose
You come towards me
number on a napkin, that's the key (yeah)
You just walk away
and I just can't get enough!
Both Erza and Lucy were already surprised by what they were hearing. They couldn't help but wonder, did some woman they don't know about tried to seduce Natsu in the past?
Girl you make me suffer
I'm addicted to you!
Never make it stop
I just can't get enough
All I want is: stay right here forever
can't resist you anymore
never make it stop
I just can't get enough
Hearing this got the two women from Fairy Tail to gain blushes on their faces. The way Natsu sounded when he sang those words was filled with emotion, like if he was in the room itself, even though it was just a recorded disk Natsu made.
Your back against the door
didn't say something wrong
and everything's right
You drag me into your room
your dress on the floor,
I'm losing my mind!
Your arms around my neck, and your kiss feels too damn good
Tick, tick, boom
our time has come
and we've got nothin' to lose
Steam was coming out of Erza's head by those words, imaging that it was her doing all of that to the pink haired male. Lucy's thoughts were a bit cleaner thankfully, though her blush did increase from what they just heard from that.
'I wonder… would Natsu react like that if I were to do all of that with him?' Lucy wondered, before realizing what she was thinking about before shaking her head to clear her head from those thoughts, her blush only increasing.
You are steppin' back
startin to confess a shocking fact (oh)
you show me your ring...
and I just can't get enough!
These few lyrics got both women to snap out of their cureent thoughts as their eyes widen in surprised.
"Huh?" Erza and Lucy questioned at once. What did Natsu mean by that? Was that a metaphor for something? And if it is, a metaphor for what? Was the song meant towards someone who was already in a relationship or something?
Girl you make me suffer
I'm addicted to you!
never make it stop
I just can't get enough
All I want is: stay right here forever
can't resist you anymore
never make it stop
I just can't get enough
Cause I just can't get enough
There's an angel on my shoulder
There's a devil on my back
They keep telling me their stories
time to get me back on track!
Why should I fight this, I've been waiting for so long
I have to overcome my inner twist, I can't help this feels
so wrong
so will this be the chance I've missed or will I be glad I
did resist?
Despite the emotion and the passion being put into the singing, the two women couldn't help but notice the actual sense of struggle in his voice. It sounded like he did indeed loved someone, but believed that they were in a relationship with another or have feelings for another, or at least that's what Lucy and Erza guessed.
Erza couldn't help but remember what she found out about Natsu's actual thoughts on Jellal a month back, remembering how he admitted his hatred for the blue haired man. Was… was this song meant for her? A song about her with Natsu thinking that she loved someone else?
Lucy may not have the exact same thoughts like the red head did, but a similar thought process did appear in the woman. Did Natsu make his song about her, but with the Fire Dragon Slayer under the impression that she loved another man?
Girl you make me suffer
I'm addicted to you!
never make it stop
I just can't get enough
All I want is: stay right here forever
can't resist you anymore
never make it stop
I just can't get enough
cause I just can't get enough
cause I just can't get enough!
And with that, the rock song ended shortly after the lyrics was sung, leaving the small house in silent.
Erza and Lucy looked at one another with confusion and worried for them. If anything, this one song alone just gave them more questions than answers about the Fire Dragon Slayer that they thought they all knew.
There we go. Chapter done. SO what did you think? Good? Bad? Let me know.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
