~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~
"Good, now just get the other stuff out and then it's perfect!"
"IDIOT!"
Lucy stretched her body and sighed sitting her book down. It was nice to be finally out of that room. Especially since she didn't have to be around that idiot for so long.
They could admit they liked each other and stuff but that doesn't mean they are completely in love with each other. Lucy still disliked Natsu just a bit.
But some parts of her liked him. It was very complicated that she just wanted to rip her hair out in frustration.
While Lucy was thinking hard she felt a tug on the back of her head, making her golden locks drop down to her sides and face.
She tilted her head backwards and saw Natsu grinned with the hair tie in his hands. "Hi there."
"What the hell Natsu! I liked my hair!"
"Well I like your hair better down."
"That was a perfect bun! Great going, jerk!" Natsu chuckled and pulled her hair back again.
"Fine, fine. I'll tie your hair for you again." Lucy sighed and silently waited for him to tie her hair again. "Your hair is so soft."
"I know."
"Pft, Miss Perfect seems angry."
"I'm not miss perfect and I'm not angry!" Natsu rolled his eyes pulling her hair up. "What are you doing here?"
"It's my house. . ." Natsu replied. Lucy mentally slapped herself as she forgot she was at his house. She's living in his house now.
Ever since she showed everyone that Natsu proposed and they were officially engaged, she started living at the Dragneel's. Lucy heard a groan from Natsu and he tugged on her hair hard, making her yelp in pain.
"What are you doing to me?" Lucy shouted looking at Natsu. "Your hair is annoying. I can't tie it." Lucy snatched the hair tie from him and growled.
"Idiot," She said quickly tying her hair into a bun and leaning against the couch again.
Natsu sat next to Lucy amazed. "How do you tie your hair so easily?"
"Great, you're asking stupid questions again." Natsu gave her a glare, pinching both of her cheeks. "Repeat that again, Luigi."
"LUCY." She growled pinching his cheeks also. Natsu pulled harder and Lucy whimpered, pulling on his harder. "That hurts, weirdo!"
"You started it, Pinky!" Natsu let go and tackled her on the couch, getting on top of her. "That hurt, Luce." Lucy gasped blushing and looking at him with wide eyes.
He smirked at her and leaned down, rubbing his cheeks with hers. "Oh my precious Lucy..!" He said in a high pitched voice.
Lucy couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Get off me, Fatass."
"Hey! I'm not fat! This is all muscle!"
"Yeah, yeah get off me." Lucy put a hand on his shoulder. Natsu grinned and sat up looking at her.
A pause came until Natsu broke it startling the poor blonde. "Hey weirdo!" Natsu suddenly shouted, putting his hand on her knee.
Lucy looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Let's go meet my friends!"
"You mean the ones from last time that you had to cancel?" Natsu nodded and took his phone out, scrolling down his list. "Suuure."
Natsu leaned against the couch putting the phone to his ears and looked at his fiancé who was lying down and playing with the ends of her hair.
"Hello? Oh hey, I just want to know if you want to meet up today. Just you and Erza." A pause came before a grin stretched across his face. "Great! See you guys in 2 hours!" Natsu said closing his phone and standing up.
"Come on Luigi! Time to get ready!"
"But, I'm so comfortable right now."
"No, get up." Natsu said. Lucy shook her head looking at him. Natsu groaned and looked at the clock. Lucy usual takes 2 hours to get ready and the time was ticking away.
He quickly scooped her up in his arms, walking back to their room. Lucy squeaked in protest, blushing madly.
"H – Hey! Abduction!" Lucy squealed. Natsu laughed and set her down in their room. "Hurry, get ready."
"I'm going to shower so no peeking."
"Or we could take one together."
"No..!" Lucy shouted blushing once more. Natsu snickered and jumped on the bed, lying down on the stomach. "Whatever, hurry up." He said.
Lucy sighed and left for the bathroom. As she bathe, got dressed, did her makeup, and finished it off with a pair of heels it took about an hour and 30 minutes.
Lucy quickly went to go wake up Natsu since they only had 30 minutes left.
She went towards their queen size bed and saw Natsu was snoring away. Lucy smiled and kneeled beside the bed, staring at his sleeping face for a while.
He looked so cute. She reached up and poked his cheek. "Hey, Natsu."
"Hmm?"
"Time to wake up~"
"10 more minutes. . ."
"You only have 20 minutes left." Natsu's eyes shot open looking at Lucy, startling her. He quickly got up and ran to the bathroom, taking a quick shower. Lucy put a hand where her heart was and sighed.
Are his friends really that important?
"Wait, Natsu..! I'm tired, let's take a break!" Lucy whined as Natsu dragged her along. Natsu ignored her, continuing to drag her.
"We can't! We're already late!" Natsu said as his face paled. "But my legs are tired!" Natsu stopped and faced her, picking her up on his shoulder.
Lucy squeaked and screamed as Natsu ran off with her on his shoulder. "Natsu Dragneel, if you do not put me down right now I'll scream kidnap!"
"Okay." Natsu let go of Lucy's hips as she fell into the fountain. People stopped and laughed at Lucy as she popped back up, gasping for air.
Natsu started laughing, holding hit gut and slapping his knee. "Natsu!"
"You told me to drop you!" He said laughing harder. Lucy glared and pouted flipping her hair to the side. "Oh come on Luce, it was a joke."
"A joke?" She hissed. Natsu gulped and grinned nervously, nodding slightly. "You idiot! Help me out!" Lucy screeched. He jumped and grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the fountain.
"Great! I'm all wet." Natsu snickered and smirked at her. "That's what she said. . ." Lucy shot him a look showing she wasn't in the mood. Natsu quickly looked away and started whistling some unknown tune.
"What am I going to do? I need new clothes, and your friends are going to be here soon. . ."
"I think I saw a stand that sold cheap clothes back there."
"Can you guy buy me some?"
"Alright."
"Hurry!" Natsu nodded taking his jacket off and handing it to her. He ran off to go buy some clothes for Lucy, leaving her by the fountain.
Lucy sighed and sat in a bench, shivering a bit. Why did he have to drop her in there? He must be so stupid. . .
Natsu came back couple minutes later with a bag full of cheap clothes. She went to the local bathroom and went to go change into the skirt and t-shirt he bought. When they get home, she was so going to kill him.
Lucy came back out and handed him the bag full of her wet clothes. "At least you bought something cute."
"Yeah, you're welcome."
"Now where are we supposed to meet you friends?"
"Crap! Erza is going to kill me!" Natsu panicked grabbing her wrist and running off with her.
Lucy followed him until up ahead they saw a two people waiting around. A red haired female and a black haired male.
Lucy stared at the black haired male. It wasn't that he was so handsome but he looked so familiar in some cases. Lucy heard Natsu yell at them and they walked a bit faster.
When she got there, the short haired sliver haired female jumped on him giving him a hug.
The others greeted and some complained while the red head smacked him. Lucy kept staring at the man, she knew him front somewhere but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Ahhh, who is this?"
"Oh, this is Lucy! She's my . . . fiancée." A pause came before Erza and Gray started yelling. They asked questions and starting screaming until Lucy snapped and pointed at Gray.
"Coffee beans!" Natsu and Erza stared at her weirdly except for Gray who stared back at her, shocked. "No way, creams and sugar?"
"I knew it! It is you!"
"Aha, didn't know it was you. Thought you looked familiar."
"I thought that too! Oh how I missed you!" Lucy pounced on him, hugging him close. Gray hugged her back grinning slightly.
Lucy felt like she heard a low growl but at the same time, she thought she was hallucinating so she let it go. "How are you coffee beans?"
"I'm fine creams and sugar."
"What the hell are you guys talking about? Coffee beans? Creams and sugar?"
"Oh Natsu! I didn't know you were friend with him!" Lucy smiled brightly pointing towards Gray. Natsu frowned looking at her. "How do you know him?"
"Oh, I met him at a coffee shop! It was a weird encounter." Lucy laughed a bit with Gray. Natsu grabbed Lucy and pulled her away from him.
"Don't touch this pervert."
"Who you calling a pervert, idiot?"
"There's only one and that's you."
"Natsu, you're more perverted than he is." Gray laughed and pointed at him while Natsu glared at Lucy.
"Oh if I can interrupt, I'm Erza." The red haired woman smiled sweetly. Lucy smiled back. "Hello Erza, I'm Lucy!"
"So, how did you meet Natsu?"
"Oh, Ehh, our parents. . . It's a long story." Lucy laughed nervously. "I've got time, why don't you tell us it?"
"And while you're at it, tell us how you met this thing." Natsu growled pointing towards Gray. Gray smirked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Jealous?"
"Am not!"
"Quiet fighting you two! Come on Lucy, let's go somewhere and talk."
"Can we get some cake while at it?" Erza smile at her, putting an arm around her shoulder. "I think you and I will get along just fine." Lucy smiled back, walking away with her.
Natsu and Gray glared at each other and started following the girls. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
~X~
Lucy, Erza, Natsu, and Gray all sat down at a table at a bakery. Lucy and Natsu sat next to each other as Gray and Erza did.
They ordered what they wanted and as they waited, Lucy started explaining how she met Natsu. How she suddenly got carried away to his house and how rudely Natsu talked to her.
Then how they both got locked in a room for a week and got closer while hating each other. It was a nice memory. Very lovely.
As their order came, Erza shot Natsu a death glare. She hated how he treated her; Erza seems very fond of Lucy already.
"A – Alright, now tell us how you and Gray met." Natsu gulped sinking down in his seat. Lucy looked at Gray from across the table and smiled.
"It was about couple months ago in a coffee shop nearby." Lucy said starting to remember their fateful encounter.
-COUPLE MONTHS AGO-
Lucy Heartfillia ran inside a coffee shop as she tried dodging from getting too wet. It was pouring outside and she didn't have an umbrella or anything to shield her with.
Lucy came inside, drying off inside. She hated to get wet, it made her feel uncomfortable. Lucy sat down at the counter and smiled at the cashier.
She smiled back, ready to take her order. "Can I get some ice coffee please?"
"Right away ma'am." As the lady left, Lucy waited, reading a book. When the lady came back, Lucy left to put some cream and sugar into her cup.
She turned and grabbed some creams and sugar, putting them in and as she held her cup, this guy came and smashed into her.
Spilling his coffee onto her and Lucy spilling her creams and sugar onto him. They both fell onto the floor with'Oof'.
Lucy groaned and looked at the front of her shirt, a big coffee stain on it. Gray looked up and scrunched his face up, cream and sugar all over him.
Lucy looked up at him and gasped, standing up. "I'm so sorry!"
"Nah, its fine. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine but you. . ."
"I'm fine." Gray stood up. Lucy and Gray started apologizing and helped clean each other up, feeling a bit bad about their mistake.
After they were finished Gray and Lucy spent their time together talking a bit.
Finally when it stopped raining and it was almost past 10, Lucy yawned. Gray noticed and stood up from his seat, grabbing his jacket.
"Well, you should get going. You seem tired."
"B – But..! I wanna talk some more!"
"Heh, we'll talk next time."
"Are we going to meet again?" Lucy asked frowning a bit. Gray shrugged and pats Lucy's head. "Maybe, see you, Creams and sugar." Lucy stared at him and smiled a bit.
"Bye coffee beans." Gray grinned and walked away, waving bye. Lucy smiled and waved back, watching him disappears.
She sighed and grabbed her cup of coffee, smiling widely. "Is he your boyfriend?"
"W – What? No!"
-END-
Gray and Lucy smiled, nodding proudly while Natsu and Erza stared at them weirdly. That was so weird.
"What a lovely . . . meeting."
"Yes! Yes it was."
"It's good to see you again too, Coffee beans." Lucy smiled. Gray smiled back nodding. "By the way, what's your name?" Lucy asked. "You don't even know his name? Sad." Natsu tsked tipping back in his chair.
Lucy shot him a glare and pushed his chair back, tripping him backwards. He fell on his back, groaning in pain.
Gray burst into laughter while Erza held back a laugh. Lucy snickered and drank some of her milkshake, satisfied.
"Man, I like you. Your name is Lucy right?" Gray asked. Lucy blushed a bit and nodded, smiling.
"I'm Gray. I've known this idiot for too long, but I'm glad you're here to knock some sense into him." He grinned. "Gray, than –"Lucy started but she fell backwards.
Natsu smirked as Lucy lied on the floor face first. She picked herself up and glared at Natsu who's smirk just got wider.
Lucy smacked him, hitting him repeatedly. "Idiot! I could have died!"
"Well you didn't!"
"Jerk, apologize!"
"No way!"
"Apologize! Now!"
"I said no!" Lucy and Natsu kept arguing back and forth until Lucy stopped and looked at him with a pout on her face. "Oh please, Natsu." Lucy said in a seductive voice.
Natsu stopped and stared at her with a blank stare and flushed cheeks. "W – Wha-?" Lucy smiled and batted her eyelashes at him.
One way how she got things from people, she used her sex appeal.
"No."
"Urgh, I hate you!"
"You do?"
"Yes!" Lucy pouted crossing her arms and looking away. Natsu stared at her before grinning.
"Well, I don't. I like you."
