Because he could ask a 1,000 times, and she'd still say no.
{I know you're gold oh, I know, I know}
"Bye!" Lucy called to her mother who waved in response, watching her daughter close the door. Lucy smiled as she walked down the street, feeling great.
"Hey Lucy!"
Nevermind.
She silently groaned, rolling her eyes in annoyance. Here it is again, the same thing every single day.
"No, "She automatically responded, not even wanting to hear his voice.
"You don't even know what I was going to say!" Natsu whined, walking in sync with her now. Lucy scowled at the ground, swearing the Gods up and down.
"Fine, What?" She huffed impatiently, finally looking over to the pink haired boy. He smiled widely at her, his murky eyes lighting up with humor.
She quickly looked away, her cheeks reddening. "What do you want?" She demanded, trying to seem indifferent.
"Will you go out with me?" He asked like he had every other day, leaning towards her for an answer. She scoffed and looked the other way, unfazed.
"Like I said: no." Lucy replied, repeating her daily rejection. He didn't even sag in disappointment, just laughed loudly and carelessly walked along, his elbows jutting in the air.
How did he not feel awkward? She always did. Why did he always have to ask her out? She had told him a million times before, she was not looking for a relationship. Couldn't they just be friends? It'd be so much easier that way...
But of course not, he had to always ask her out. And as always, she'd decline him.
Couldn't he give up already?
"Don't feel bad." Natsu's voice brought her out of her thoughts. She looked over to him, raising an eyebrow at him.
"You'll say yes one day." He promised, sending a flirtatious wink her way, causing her to brighten. She huffed, turning away.
"In your dreams." She retorted hotly.
He let out a loud laugh "how'd you know?" He joked, shaking his head back and forth. She was so weird and fun to mess with.
Not to mention cute.
"Lucy?"
"Mmm..?"
"Kiss me."
Lucy nearly spit her juice out, coughing terribly. She hastily picked up a napkin, wiping at her mouth. She glared at the pink haired male, blaming him for her now sore throat.
"No way!" She hissed, still coughing. Natsu's grin widened and he scooted closer, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
"Why not?"
"Because I don't like you!"
"Aw come on..." Natsu shook his head at her spiteful words, pouting cutely.
"Not in a million years!" She hissed, pushing him away roughly. He grinned wider and let out a laugh, causing her to jump up from the table and rush away furiously.
"Where's Lucy going?" Levy asked Natsu when she arrived, watching the blonde flee with curious eyes.
"Who knows." Natsu shrugged, stealing some of Lucy's abandoned fries.
"Date me."
"No."
"Why?"
"I already told you." She sighed, rubbing at her temples. Natsu wasn't like Loke or Dan; he didn't ask every second of every day, just at random times here and there. He was much more tolerable.
And admittedly, her best friend.
He left it at that, knowing to give her space. The pinkette watched her quietly, mulling over his thoughts.
"What'd you get for number four?" He decided to avoid the topic much to her relief.
"It's an individual assignment." She replied, staring down at the class work.
"Aw c'mon Luce~" Natsu complained, face planting his desk in defeat.
She just ignored him, trying to do the same with his presence.
"Hey Lucy?" He spoke once more, his voice hesitant.
"Yes Natsu?" She droned, pencil scribbling away.
"Do you...wanna do something friday?" Natsu asked, staring directly at his paper.
I was just experimenting with 'Playboy(ish) Natsu' and yeah...I don't really like writing Natsu like that xD
