Here we go! I promised that I would make up for pissing you all off. The hot and cold game is strong...
Alright! without further ado!
I do not own Fairy Tail nor any of the character. Hiro Mashima does.
Enjoy!
By the time her conversation was done, Lucy's head was spinning. It took her and Erza both to calm Mirajane down long enough for her to get off the phone. Just as she started relaxing, a text came from Natsu alerting her that he was here.
Grabbing her things, the blonde raced down the stairs towards her friend. Upon closer inspection, she admired Natsu's choice of attire. He had on a white button down shirt which had his sleeves were rolled up his arms (showing off his delicious biceps). The shirt was tucked into black dress pants and topped off with a matching black vest. His normal unruly locks where actually tamed into a style that matched him nicely. All in all, the pinkette looked very good and his blonde companion noticed.
Lucy wasn't the only one 'noticing' their date. Natsu stared at the blonde before breathing out a 'wow'. The two of them exchanged greetings then took off in Natsu's car towards the party.
On the way there, Lucy told Natsu to pull over to the lounge so that she could get Michelle's present, while also asking for his assistance in getting it out. Walking up to the doors, Natsu pushed the door opened and was met with a loud chorus of 'Surprise!' Party poppers where popped and confetti was thrown all in celebration.
Natsu stood at the door, mouth agape, while his friends all smiled back at him. It was Lucy's gentle and reassuring touch to the elbow that stirred him from his pause. He looked back at her, remembering that she was the only person he told his birthday too, and grabbed her in a hug. He whispered many thanks into her hair while holding her even closer. Lucy patted his back and accepted all of the praise and thanks.
Not letting the moment last too long, the two separated and headed towards the group. The party started full force with music and fun. The lights where dimmed and replaced with strobe lights, while speakers blared out music.
Lucy found her girls to dance together. They took a moment to laugh at the boys foolish antics as they fooled around and fought every once in a while. Occasionally, Lucy and Natsu would exchange glances with one another, causing the former to blush and look away.
The party was going on full swing when Sting walked in. While it wasn't his first time coming to Fairy Tail Lounge, he still never managed to get used to the festive atmosphere, a stark contrast to Territory. He looked through the crowd to find his girlfriend but failed, so he went to find a table and wait for her.
A nudge from Cana had told Lucy that Sting was here. Mira had already told everyone else that Sting would be showing up and Lucy asked Natsu after he found out about the party, both being okay with the blonde male's arrival. She left her group and bounded over to Sting as fast as she could.
He gathered her in a hug and placed a quick kiss to her forehead. "Did you miss me?"
She rolled her eyes at his question, "No."
"Lulu~."
The two laughed at his joke, enjoying their long awaited time together. While talking, they didn't notice a certain pink haired male walk up to them until they heard someone clear their throat. He was so stealthy that he was right beside them.
Natsu and Sting exchanged looks, a bit of a challenge going between them as to who would look away first. The whole establishment watched the two carefully. After a semi-tense moment, the pinkette extended his hand towards his rival.
"Nice to meet you. Sting right? I'm Natsu."
Sting smiled and shook the extended appendage, "Likewise, and Happy Birthday man."
"Much appreciated. I'm glad you could make it."
"No problem."
The trio stood in tense conversation, a spectacle to the other patrons. Everyone watched them closely, making sure that there was no fight or punch thrown. While it may be normal for Fairy Tail to have a fight or two, they aren't anything serious. Most of the time, it's only for people to bond and test their skills against someone else. In this situation, everyone knew that if a fight where to break out, it would be nothing but serious. So, while still dancing and having fun, they watched and waited.
The trio managed to have a bit of conversation, the tension still there, of course. Until the first line of a certain song blarred over the speakers. The two Fairy Tail students lit up at the beginning of the song.
'The red light
In this stopped time
Only your scent remains with me '
Natsu whipped his head towards Lucy and grabbed her hand. "Luce, you've got to dance with me!"
She glanced over towards Sting, "I don't know. Sting?"
Natsu looked back towards Sting, a hint of challenge in his eyes. "You don't mind right Sting?"
The blonde male smile, full of venom, and turned towards Lucy. Placing his hand on the small of her back, he kissed her before regarding Natsu's question. "Sure Lucy, go ahead. It's a celebration after all."
With that, the pink haired male tugged her towards him and out onto the dance floor. Far enough so that they would be near their friends but close enough so that Sting could watch.
Natsu spun Lucy a few times before bringing her towards him. She tensed up a bit and moved a bit slower. Grabbing her by the waist, he leaned in towards her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, it's just me remember? Just enjoy the song."
'Like satellites and shooting stars~
Like a star, that's seen the sun~
I revolve around you,
Though you're hot, I approach you'
While singing the song in her head, Lucy started loosening up. The two of them finally moving in tandem with one another. She smiled and looked up at the man in front of her, ignoring everything else. They sung the lyrics, building up until they shouted out the chorus.
'We live for THIS LOVE!'
The lights flashed and the couple danced and twirled. Nothing else mattered and no one else mattered. They spun and stepped, twirled and leaped, enjoying each other's company. Grabbing her by the waist, Natsu dipped her. She laughed, throwing away all her worries and cares. For the rest of the night, she stayed with Natsu, dancing and laughing the entire time.
It wasn't until she went to get some water that she realized that Sting was still at the table. He had been watching them the whole time. Lucy had left him there the whole time. Picking up another cup, Lucy went back over to the table to give him the peace offering before rejoining Natsu. When the cup was placed on the table he took a small sip. Still watching Lucy and the pink haired male, who was now blowing out his birthday cake. Anger burning bright in his blue eyes.
Dun Dun Dunnnn! So how was that? Better? No? Okay. I may have another one on the way.
Heaven***
