Prompt: strangers who end up on the kiss cam at a sporting event AU
Ship: NaLu!, mentioned Gruvia
Lucy wasn't usually interested in sports, but Juvia insisted that someone come with her and her boyfriend Gray, who was also bringing a friend.
"Juvia promises this isn't a set up, we just have extra tickets!" She pleaded. After hours of promises of dinners and chocolates, Lucy accepted the invitation.
Getting ready that night was difficult. What do you wear to a baseball game? She through on a fitted blue tee shirt and white jeans. She recalled Juvia saying something about the team's color being blue. Fixing her eyeliner and lipgloss and grabbing her bag, Lucy left her apartment to meet with Gray and Juvia by the curb. Gray drove while Juvia sat in the passenger seat, twisted around to inform Lucy of the situation.
"Gray's friend's name is Natsu. He's really into baseball, so...be gentle. He recently broke up with Lisanna, you remember Lisanna? Yeah, that was rough for him. Childhood friends and such. But this isn't a pity date! Juvia promises this is just for fun and companionship!" Gray snorted.
"It's totally a set up, I'm sorry." He said, causing Juvia to slap his arm. "Ow, jeez, I was joking. Mostly." By this time they had pulled into the cramped parking lot. It took a while to find a spot, but they did and they entered the stadium. A bobble of pink hair ran to greet them.
"Ice Princess, Rain Girl, you made it! I found our seats, they're really nice." The man grinned. Gray frowned at the nicknames.
"What'd you call me, flame brain?" As the two boys started to fight, Juvia stepped over by Lucy.
"This is normal. Fighting is just how they show their brotherly affection." Lucy rolled her eyes. Suuuuuuuuure. Pinky stopped when he noticed Lucy.
"Oh, hi. You must be Juvia's friend. I'm Natsu." He stuck out a hand and she shook it.
"Nice to meet you; I'm Lucy."
"I'll call you Luce." He slung an arm around her shoulder and she let out a squeak. "Seats are this way!" He pointed dramatically, and dragged her away. Gray and Juvia exchanged looks, laughed.
LATER ON..
It was close to the end of the game. Natsu was all fired up. Gray and Juvia had disappeared a half hour ago, probably having sex in their car. Lucy shuddered at the thought, trying to focus on the game she barely understood. Natsu stood and cheered, so she followed suit. But Natsu got quiet all of a sudden. Lucy traced his line of sight to the jumbotron, which was in Kiss Cam mode. On the screen were (was?) them. Lucy was about to freak out and make signals that said "No no, we're not a couple!" but Natsu spun her around and dipped her down, kissing her dramatically. The crowd went wild. And so did Lucy's mind. As their lips parted, he smiled down at her.
"Sorry, but we gotta put on a good show." He whispered.
"I guess." Lucy shrugged, pulling him down for another kiss, not even wondering if the Kiss Cam was still on them. Maybe the game wasn't originally a set up, but it definitely started something.
