Hey guys! I'm so sorry I haven't posted in almost three weeks! My life has gotten very busy with all this holiday shopping, working, and a lot of boring personal stuff. Oh well, shit happens! But, like always I will make it up to you guys. I feel like this episode is a bit on the short side but I will make Natsu's chapter longer to make up for it. No worries! I have started to plan out another story, which would just be more in depth with the NaLu of this story but I'm still deciding whether I really want to do that or leave it as is. Oh and I decided to make this whole chapter in Lucy's POV. I apologize for the mistakes in this. I tried editing as best as I could but I couldn't seem to concentrate. I wanted to hold it so I could give it my undivided attention but then I'd make you guys wait far too long, so on to the story!
(Lucy POV)
I walked beside Levy with my arms crossed as I fumed silently. Recently I seemed to be in a bad mood very often. Usually it was also directed towards Natsu.
"Oh cheer up Lucy, you know he didn't mean to upset you. That's just the Dragneel way. " Mavis spoke absentmindedly as she walked on my other side, trying to balance herself on the sidewalks edge as we walked.
"Yeah, I'm sure he forgot you had plans." Levy added as she pointed a finger up as she spoke.
It's been three days since he's spoken to me and when I tried to remind him that we were supposed to go to the bookstore with Mavis and Levy. He didn't respond. What if he was out and about having a good time? I shut the book that I was firmly gripping in my hands with anger. If he was having fun, I would have fun.
"Hey guys. Why don't we have a slumber party?" I asked as I looked at the two bookworms sat in front of me.
"Ooooh sounds like fun. Now who wants to braid my hair and who wants to paint my nails?" Gajeel whispered loudly from beside me, annoyed that he was forced to come along.
"Not you, you big oaf. Girls only!" I whispered back.
He slouched back in his chair before sighing dramatically "oh. I guess I'll just go hang out with the guys. Since they're all at pyro's while I'm here being a packmule for demanding bookworms!"
I quickly turned my head back towards him. "Is Natsu there?" I asked enthusiastically.
"Duh." He spoke as he tossed a pen into the air and caught it repeatedly. My anger flared to new heights at this revelation. I caught his pen when he tossed it into the air and snapped it.
"We will have fun tonight, girls!" I said between gritted teeth as I stood up and took my stack of books to the counter.
"Lu-chan calm down!" Levy sat on my bed with her legs crossed as she flipped through one of my new books.
I continued to pace back and forth, still trying to figure out why he was ignoring me.
Mavis spoke absentmindedly as she sat on the edge of my bed and swung her feet about in a child-like manner."Well when I talked to Zeref an hour ago he said Natsu was fine. He went to the park with Happy and Lisanna for a bit but after that he's been with the guys."
I sat down next to Mavis with a frown on my face. Lisanna is one of Natsu's childhood friends. Actually she was his best friend and since she just got back from living with extended family, Natsu was ecstatic to be around her again. This didn't bother me. I really like Lisanna, in fact she was coming over tonight with her sister Mirajane. What did bother me was that Natsu was hanging out with her but can't even return my phone call.
I smiled as I looked around the room. All the girls had shown up and everyone seemed to be having fun. I watched as all the girls talked amongst themselves happily. My smile slowly fell as my eyes landed on Levy, who was speaking to Minerva and Jenny. Levy sat across the two with a frown on her face. I slowly made my way through the groups of girls all chatting about until I reached Levy.
"I can't believe he never told you that." Jenny spoke with a frown also on her face.
"What's going on?" Before they could answer, a pink haired maid bowed before me. I looked down to see Virgo waiting for my full and undivied attention. "Sorry." I shrugged apologetically as I followed Virgo.
"I'm sorry to disturb you princess but you have a phone call." She handed me the phone and bowed before retreating back into the room full of girls.
I scoffed as Natsu and the guy's voices carried through the phone. "Oh so you have time for me now?" I rolled my eyes as I took a seat on the stairs.
"I'm sorry, Luce. I just didn't think you'd like to see me. You usually don't want to see me when you're having your, um, time of the month..." His voice faded in embarrassment as my face grew red.
"What are you talking about-" All the color began to fade from my face as I began to think back to last month.
"Luce? Luce you there?" I shook my head as he spoke. As if he can see me.
"Can you please come over." I whispered worriedly.
I stood up on the steps as Natsu ran in through the front door about ten minutes after our phone call.
Without saying a word he took my hand into his and lead the way to my bedroom.
Well I'm pretty sure it's obvious what's gonna happen next, but that's okay. It would have been obvious no matter how I went about it. I have actually finished the next two chapters but I don't know when I'll get the time to finish editing them. With how busy I've been editing is the farthest thing from my mind but I will do it! Well have a nice day guys! Review if you have the time and feel like it. No pressure! :)
