After they ate their meals Natsu insisted that they take a small walk outside. Lucy agreed reluctantly following the pink haired man who seemed to parade proudly with his menacing bat resting on his shoulder and her kidnapped book being swung carelessly.
"You look like an idiot." Lucy sneered crossing her arms underneath her ample chest.
"I'm almost insulted." The pink haired man chuckled walking along side her. He threw a soft smile her way before speaking once more. "Let's act more civil, shall we? Like what's your name?"
The young blonde woman looked at the man with a cautious expression before choosing to reply. "My names Lucy Heartfillia, what's yours?"
"I'm Natsu Dragneel." He replied nonchalant with a smirk adoring his face. It had Lucy blushing like the first time she saw him at the club. "So what does Ms.Hearfillia do in her everyday life?"
"I attend classes on weekdays, work part time all week, and relax at home when I'm free." The blonde responded back looking away from him.
"Woah aren't you a busy bee? Where do you work part time at? I'd love to drop by-"
"And annoy me while I work? No way."
"Oh Lucy how could you suspect that of me?"
"Because you were a nuisance in the past few hours that I been with you."
The pink haired man only chuckled to her annoyance of her analysis. Oddly enough he enjoyed her presence and having a decent conversation with her. She wasn't like anyone he ever encountered.
"I'm afraid to ask what you do daily?" She spoke up after a moment of comfortable silence. She continued to speak with a laugh trapped in her throat. "You were in a club the other night so let me guess your a player? You hit the clubs every night looking for some new girl, mooching off your inheritance from your parents, and your a slob who lives in an apartment. Am I getting hot or cold here?"
"We haven't even hanged out that long and you assume that much?" He chuckled before diliberately stepping in front of the blonde's walking path. A menacing serious demenor took over his goofy idiotic one. He looked at her with a cold emotionless stare. "I could be some killer that'll go after you in the snap of a finger. You might just be my next victim that I came across at the club. Or I could be doing some serious business on the black market selling off beautiful women like yourself. And I might be living a normal life to cover it all."
He spoke in a hush voice walking closer and closer with each word. The blonde looked at him with a frighten look backing away from his dead stare. She backed all the way to a tree where she shrunk in size as Natsu finished speaking. He smirked at her face, placing the items he was holding into one hand before leaning down to whisper something into her ear.
"You probably should watch out about who you speak to. Some day you might run into someone...dangerous." Natsu spoke moving a piece of hair behind her ear. "I won't want nothing to happen to a pretty girl like you."
He nuzzled his face at her neck taking in the scent of her fruity smelling perfume that drove him somewhat crazy. He lifted his head up and placed a kiss on her forehead before moving away leaving her confused.
Natsu took out his phone where he was greeted by a message from Gray who was questioning his where abouts. He sent a quick reply before looking at the blonde who composed herself.
"Would you like me to walk you home?" He asked holding up her book to get her attention.
"I-i think I'll manage on my own." She responded back with a shaky voice reaching out and grabbing the book.
"Could I see your phone for a minute?"
She looked at the man in front of her for a long minute before complying and handing her phone over. Natsu called his phone from hers and returned the device back.
"My numbers in your call log, why don't you call or text me sometime." He said tinkering with his own phone. "I'm sorry for shaking you up."
"I-i um it's fine." She said clutching her phone to her rapid beating chest.
"I have to get going." Natsu said with a wide smile. "I hope to see you around Luigi."
The blonde stared at him in confusion ripping her away from her stuttering state before bubbling up with anger seeing his figure almost out of site.
"IT'S LUCY YOU IDIOT!" She screamed out but after words blushing in pure embarrassment due to the amount of bystanders looking at her weirdly. "That idiots going to be the death of me."
She muttered to herself lifting her phone from her chest to see the number Natsu had called from her phone. She shock her head and created a contact for the pink haired headache of a man.
"Where have you been?" A voiced asked as soon as the pink haired man waltzed through the large double doors of the building.
The man in questioned looked up with a grin plastered on his face. He swung his bat from his shoulders placing it in an umbrella stand before walking over to answer him.
"I had some.. business to take care of." The pink haired man simply replied walking past the dark haired man, who gave him a questionable look, to the bar stool in front of a bar counter. "Gimme a beer Mira."
The woman behind the counter nodded her head obediently before rushing to comply to his order.
"Flame brain, we have business ourselves to take care of." The darker haired man began to say waving a manilla folder in his face to which where snatched from his hands by the young master. "Remember when I called earlier telling you about Sabertooth finding out what we did? Turns out that their bastard master sent them to wreck our turf. So far no one has been reported injured but it's only a matter of time before we get sneaked attacked."
Natsu looked over the papers that filled the folder and groaned in frustration. The bar woman named Mira came back and set a beer glass in front of him which he grabbed and drowned down.
"Ima drawl up some plans and set up some precautions to this. Tell everyone to be ready whenever." Natsu muttered somewhat to both the bar woman whom everyone hears everything from and Gray his friend/enemy also his comrade. They nodded and watched as the man stood taking the folder and beer with him to his office up stairs of their building.
"That poor man, he seems to never have any fun in his young life." Mira said sympathetically placing a hand to her cheek shaking her head slightly.
"Yeah that idiot doesn't know how to have fun much. He grew up too fast when we were younger." Gray said looking down remembering how his friend use to be. She nodded in acknowledgement to his words before proceeding to carry out orders of the others who waited at the bar counter.
