Chapter 9

Lucy Heartfilia's POV:

I giggled uncontrollably at the sight in front of me. Lucy Ashley's eyes were the size of moons as she realized she was kissing Fireball. I smiled softly, then blushed, realizing that that looked basically like me and Natsu if we kissed.

Which will never happen.

I was really happy for Lucy Ashley, I mean seriously. But I couldn't help but feel envious of her. Why did she get the Natsu who wasn't a complete idiot? Who could at least express his feelings? I mean I love Natsu the way he is but sometimes I just wished he'd be a little less dense.

Wait a minute. Did I just-oh my god I did.

I JUST SAID I LOVED NATSU!

I felt my own blush flare on my cheeks, putting my hands to my warm cheeks and shaking my head slightly, I tried to get the indecent thoughts out of my head.

"Is he oka-wwwwwowoWHAT?" I heard Natsu from behind me before I heard a loud banging noise. Turning around, I saw Natsu on the floor, staring at the ceiling like he had just seen a ghost. I couldn't help but giggle, dropping to my knees and crawling over so I could help him up. I put my hand on his shoulder but tensed when his intense eyes darted to my brown ones. I shivered involuntarily under his gaze, feeling as if he was staring into my soul. The moment went by quick when he offered me his childish grin, propping himself up on the floor. My breath hitched when I noticed how close we were, merely inches apart.

"Lucy..." He whispered, his eyes not leaving mine. I didn't even dare to blink, frozen once again. A soft smile graced his lips, tucking a strand of hair behind my head. I blushed slightly, but didn't turn away. He took this as a good sign, because the next thing I knew his palm was resting on my cheek, holding my face in place.

And then all of a sudden, his face started inching closer and closer towards mine. My heart resounded through my ears, and I knew that he could hear it. He could hear how fast it went every time he inched closer and closer towards me, his eyes sliding closed.

I felt a gust of air wash past me, and I opened my eyes to notice Natsu missing. I looked for the culprit to see an angry, worried Erza standing there with her foot resting back on the ground. I blushed once more and acted as if nothing had happened, trying to keep from everyone seeing how freaked out I was.

"Yeah he crashed and then Ashley started to freak out and broke down and...yeah." I filled Erza and Gray in,coughing awkwardly, rubbing the back of my head. Seems Natsu's rubbing off on me.

I really hope I didn't just say that.

Oh god.

"S-shut up!" A voice behind me demanded. I turned to see a red Ashley with a smirking Fireball. I giggled slightly, wiggling my eyebrows at them.

"Oh thank god the make out fest is over." Natsu sighed. We all turned to him in surprise, Fireball and Ashley's faces bright pink. I snorted in laughter, putting a hand over my mouth in embarrassment. Natsu grinned at me before sending Fireball a look, confusing me slightly. I looked between Natsu and Fireball and felt a pang of envy. I wanted a secret connection like that with Ashley.

And with that thought, I turned to Ashley and looked her in the eyes. I gave her a look saying Is he okay? Which she replied with a bob of her head, a relieved look in her eyes. I turned back to Erza who was currently talking about schedules, and about how she would ask the nurse on how to treat Fireball's wounds.

"He will stay at Lucy's house, and we'll all take turns bathing him. I'll start first-"

"Woah woah woah, wait a minute. Why do you get to bathe him first?"

"Well I was just suggesting-"

"What do you think you're suggesting?"

"Nothing I was just-"

"I say Natsu should bathe him, they have the same-"

"What? I don't wanna bathe him!"

"Why not?"

"Because!"

"You guys are acting like idiots."

"Fine then you bathe him!"

"Ew hell no! I'm an innocent seventeen year old girl!"

"Lucy. We all know here you aren't that innocent."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means you flounce around in only a towel and sleep in the same bed as Natsu." Gray deadpanned. I stared at him, highly offended by this. What did he mean flounce around? And sleep with Natsu?

"U-uhm everyone. If it's okay with you guys, I could just bathe myself." Fireball spoke up weakly, staring up at us nervously. I smiled down at him, making him blush slightly. I giggled at all of our stupidity, nodding in agreement.

"Oh I dunno, Ashley seemed to wanna bathe you real bad." Natsu smirked, watching as Fireball and Ashley's faces went a few degrees up.

"Technique 35: The Bitch Drop!" Ashley announced, holding Natsu in the painful hold. I winced slightly at the sight, feeling pity towards Natsu who was now screaming in agony.

"Lucy-chan you should be kinder to my counterpart!" Fireball declared scoldingly, shocking us all. I looked to Erza with a Is this real? face, in which she shrugged, not believing it herself.

Ashley instantly froze at hearing the honorific he had added at the end. No 'san' but chan, as in...well...you know...

Ashley always blushed at the slightly affectionate thing Fireball said, I noticed. I couldn't help but smile softly at them before sighing, wondering when will my romantic life begin.

Ha. I'm so funny.

Lucy Ashley's POV:

I don't understand why I keep blushing every time Fireball talks to me. I mean probably because he-oh I don't know KISSED ME.

I can't even look at him without feeling my face heat up. It's so embarrassing. This wasn't supposed to happen. I was supposed to have a unrequited love in which I'd be okay with, as long as he was happy with his car.

I've been hanging with Lucy too much, I sound like such an idiot.

It feels like one of those movies where the girl likes the boy and the boys all nice and kind and blahblahblah the girl gets turned into some preppy bitch like my counterpart.

Well except the bitch part, cause honestly Lucy is kind of cool.

But anyways, the truth is, I don't want to be changed. I'm fine with who I am and if you aren't well then screw you. That's what I always say, and look where it got me. Number one in the Guild, ha. And yet this little sissy pants crybaby is the one to bring the great Lucy Ashley down.

So ironic.

I snuck a quick glance at Fireball only to make eye contact, which was, beyond awkward. I was so flustered I nearly fell out of the train during the ride home. Fireball caught me, of course, and hauled me up, chastising me to be careful.

How can I be careful when I know the guy I'm in love with is sitting less than a shoulder length away from me?

You answer me that.

Natsu Dragion's POV:

I've made a mistake. I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have kissed Lucy like that, now she's ignoring me. I don't really understand her sometimes. Sometimes she's really sweet and caring and like her counterpart, but other times she's...

"Screwdrive elbow crush!"

"I SAID I WAS SORRY!"

Like that.

It's not that I didn't like her because of that, because truth is I...uhm...well..nevermind.

"Jewel for your thoughts?" A voice piped up, startling me slightly. I looked over, anticipating a hit only to see cute Lucy sitting there, smiling at me. I blushed slightly, averting my gaze.

"Y'know...I saw what you did back there...with Ashley.." Lucy hinted. My eyes widened to the size of plates and I jolted in shock, staring at her.

"W-what?" I said sort of loud. Lucy giggled at me, making me blush again. I saw the blush coating her cheeks also, making my blush get worse.

"I think you're sweet~" Lucy cooed, teasing me. I rolled my eyes at her, shaking my head.

"Whatever." I grumbled, embarrassed. She got up from her seat to plop down next to me, pinching my cheek.

"Aw is somebody embarrawsed? D'awww still so cute~" Lucy giggled while my blush intensified. I swatted her hand away, trying to hide my smile. She started to have a giggle attack, Natsu and Ashley's fight long forgot about as they stared at us before looking at each other.

For some reason they had a look of Are they serious? which I didn't understand. Lucy poked me again making me turning and start poking her in the sides, finally annoyed. She started squealing in protest but made sure not to hit me on the head or around my lower half since it still aches even though they drugged me.

I hate hospitals.

I started laughing along with Lucy before calling it quits, leaning back in my seat and sighing, trying to help my hurting stomach from laughing too hard. I looked over to see a not very pleased Natsu glaring at me, and I understood. I put my mouth next to Lucy's ear, knowing Natsu had super hearing, and started to whisper to her.

"Lucy-san, I don't think I should be so carefree with you."

Lucy looked up to me with a sharp, curious look. I smirked deviously.

"Why?" She asked innocently.

"Because Natsu-san doesn't look very pleased. I think he might strangle me in my sleep" I teased, poking her once more. A light blush coated her cheeks and she rolled her eyes, poking my cheek.

"That's where you're wrong, he doesn't care. Only about food and fighting." Lucy sighed wistfully, taking me by surprise. Her eyes darted back over to me, a glint in them.

"But I think it goes more for me, Ashley looks like she wants to do one of her techniques on me!" We both shivered at the thought before I blushed, remembering our kiss.

"You should seriously fess up. She might not say it, but she likes you a loooot. And when you go all assertive on her? She's whipped." Lucy whispered into my ear, giggling once more. I felt my face heat up as I looked to her in surprise.

"But just don't be mean to her, we might not act the same but at the end of the day we're the same person. Well she's scarier but...yeah." Lucy trailed off awkwardly before giving me a confident grin, patting me on the arm before going over to sit next to Natsu again.

I don't get how Natsu can get motion sickness, I love travelling and trains! And cars, uwaah~ I miss my car~~ I looked over to see Lucy sitting there and Natsu happy scooting as close as possible to her before whispering something into her ear, his face green. She blushed slightly before nodding her head in agreement, in which he plopped his head down onto her lap. She began combing her fingers through his hair and I smiled at them before feeling a tug on my shirt, surprising me.

I looked over to see Ashley's arm holding my shirt, her eyes downcast but I could still see the blush on her cheeks. She tugged once again before gently pulling me down onto her lap, which I didn't refuse to. I sat my head awkwardly, wondering if this was another technique until I felt something soft and slim start running through my hair. My tensed shoulders instantly relaxed and I sighed in content, closing my eyes while she raked her fingers through my hair gently. I smiled up at her lazily before drifting off to sleep, a picture of her in all her rosy glory smiling gently at me, a loving look in her eyes.

Yeah~~~~~NaLu~~~Nashi~~~~wooowooowohooo~~~
