Chapter 73

Blank Stare

Natsu lounged against a wall a few feet from Lucy. In his opinion he was doing an excellent job of ignoring her.

This playing hard to get thing was a breeze.

Suddenly Lucy got up and made her way over to the bar.

"Hey Mira-chan can I have tea?" She smiled sweetly and Natsu had to suppress a sigh. Did she even know how cute she was?

As subtly as possible Natsu made his way over to the bar, careful not to let Lucy know he was watching her.

"Oh, hi Natsu."

Natsu said nothing, staring straight ahead.

"Um..okay then."
