Chapter 12

Natsu Dragneel's POV:

Crap. Crap, crap, crap, crap, craaap.

I messed up.

Big time.

Naw duh idiot! My inner conscious screamed at me, sounding like it wanted to strangle me, though I could do the job myself. I ran a hand through my hair and puffed my cheeks in frustration, walking over to a table. I was about to sit down when a blob of pink in the corner of my eye caught my attention. I sharply turned, narrowing my eyes. I stepped over to him, a low growl coming out of my throat.

"I need to talk to you."

"I need to talk to you" We said simultaneously. We both blinked at one another before our faces screwed into a confused frown(at the same time once again.). He nodded and gestured over to a secluded corner in the Guild which I followed him over to. Right when I was sure we wouldn't be eavesdropped on I nodded, signaling him to speak. He turned towards me with a certain glint to his eyes making me think he spends way too much time with Scary Lucy.

"Well idiot, I had a plan before you had to go ruin it." He hissed angrily, his eyes calculating as he thought. I blinked, staring at my counterpart in slight awe and a lot of boredom. I narrowed my eyes when I processed his words, growling again.

"I'm the idiot? You're the one that barged in when I was about to confess to Lucy!" I hissed. His eyes widened in slight surprise before he shrunk back, a blush coating his cheeks.

"Y-you were gonna c-c-confess to Lucy-san?" He fiddled with his hands, looking down to them with a blush. I couldn't help but flush myself, looking away and scratching the back of my head.

"U-uh yeah..." I stammered in embarrassment. Fireball smirked at me and walked over to me, draping his arm across my shoulder.

"Well my friend, then I guess my plan will work after all." He smiled like a mad genius, giving me a bad feeling.

Lucy Heartfilia's POV

I sighed, running a hand through my hair while staring down at my book. It's not fair. In the book the guy is everything a girl wants. But in real life guys are...well idiots. No offense. Well I guess that is offensive but...whatever.

I put my book down at the same exact moment my door slammed open, making me squeal in surprise. I stared wide eyed at Fireball who stood in front of me with a wide, energetic grin.

"Hey Lucy!" He said in a light tone, walking over to me. He had a careful look in his eyes which made me raise my eyebrow in confusion, setting my book down and smiling.

"Hey Fireball." I said cheerfully, turning to him with a smile. He smiled in what I noticed surprise, as if he didn't think I'd be so happy. Why wouldn't I be...oh yeah..

"C'mon Luce-y, let's go to the fair!" Fireball said in excitement. He seemed a little more energetic than recently but I guess it's just who he was. I was kind of worried about his injuries but just like Natsu he heals super fast. I grinned and nodded my head, getting my peacoat once more and putting on my boots. He held his arm out to me and I tried hiding my pink face, looping my arm through his. I noticed his cheeky grin and couldn't help but roll my eyes, a faint blush denting my cheeks. He charged forward and rushed out the door, pulling me all the way to the fair. I smiled in excitement up at the big sign, my stomach knotting in slight nervousness. I didn't really like spiny rides but loved roller coasters. He gave me one last smile before walking up to the ticket booth, talking quietly to the man. I hovered behind him, taking in my surroundings. I noticed a group of girls to the far left, sneaking glances my way and whispering behind their hands. I narrowed my eyes and a cold glare automatically came to my face. I tried to wipe it off and be like my usual self but something about these girls just rubbed me the wrong way. A few more minutes went by when I realized they weren't staring at me at all, but at Fireball.

This rubbed me an even worser way. How dare they stare at him! I vowed to keep him from their filthy clutches. I owed it to Ashley! I made sure they knew I was staring now, making them turn to look at me. I shot them a warning glare, telling them to back off. I wanted to save them from a world of pain if Ashley ever found out, which by my horrible mouth she might. When they rolled their eyes and flicked me a look I turned back around, knocking right into a chest.

"Careful Luce." A warm voice chuckled. I blanched and felt my heart quicken, my mouth becoming dry. I hesitantly looked up only to sag my shoulders in relief, noticing it was only Fireball.

"Heh. You and Natsu sound so alike I thought..." I let the thought trail off, a sad smile on my face. I think he noticed because he gave me a weak smile yet his gaze clouded over. He snapped the bracelet to get in on my wrist and guided me to the actual entrance. After we were cleared through I actually began to enjoy myself, marveled by all the different rides and attractions.

I gasped and tugged Fireball over to the Fireball.

"Haha look it's you!" I giggled as the roller coaster shot in the air and did a full loop before coming back. He chuckled and I felt anticipation bubbling in my stomach.

This is gonna be the best day ever!

oke so fireball and natsu switched yet again i.e. Natsu is pretending to be Fireball. I hope this isn't too confusing XD
