Natsu stood in the guild, face to face with none other than Gray. While a scowl lingering across his lips, he couldn't help but over hear a lot of the talk around the guild recently. And most of it held his name in it. He ignored it, for the most part but it was starting to get on his nerves.
He could hear the girls of the guild as they spoke in whispers, then the whole table would look his way before breaking out in laughter. The only one who never joined in on it was Lucy, thankfully. But she always had a red face and at first he had asked if she was feeling okay, thinking that maybe she was running a fever but she denied it so he let it drop.
Now he could hear a group of male members as they joked with one another. Their boisterous laughter could always be heard after his name was said. Grinding his teeth, he threw another punch towards the ice mage, only to have it miss. Natsu scoffed, internally berating himself for getting distracted before he was suddenly sent flying into the wall from a kick he had received from Gray.
"What's your problem today, Natsu? You should have been able to dodge that easily." Gray commented. Those two had been at it most of the day, with Erza being away on business with the master they didn't have to worry about someone splitting up their fights. Natsu groaned as he removed himself from the wall but no longer paid any attention to Gray.
He stalked forward and slumped down onto the bench before his head banged against the wooden table. "Natsu?" Gray called once more. Now he was really starting to worry. This is so unlike Natsu, ignoring a fight, being so distracted and even the depressed mood. He is going to have to figure out what is bothering the fire mage. "Come on Natsu, talk to me. What's going on?"
"What's going on? How about I ask you that. Everyone in the guild is either talking about me or laughing at me and I don't even know why!" Natsu whined. He had no idea what could have caused his guild mates to act in such a way.
"Oh, that's whats bothering you?" Gray asked with a brow raised. Since when did Natsu ever care about what was being said about him? When Natsu nodded his head, a smirk formed across the ice mages lips. His deep blue eyes fluttered over towards the group of men not far away before they rested upon Natsu once more. This would be his chance to find out for sure. "You really want to know what they are talking about?" Gray teased.
"Gray, you can either tell me or I'll beat it out of you." Natsu growled. His response only seemed to widen the smirk upon Gray's face.
"Alright, well you see everyone is talking about what happened during the dragon attack after the Grand Magic Games." Natsu's brow furrowed as he thought over just what happened. He came up with nothing and Gray could see the confusion upon the mans face. "You know, what happened between you and Lucy?"
"What are you talking about pervert! Just spit it out!" Natsu was growing tired of Gray's hints. If he remembered what he was saying then he would have said something and these little hints weren't helping him any.
"When you grabbed Lucy's tits!" Gray said in exasperation. He stared at Natsu's blank expression wondering just what was going through the pink haired idiots head. The two rivals didn't realize that Gray's outburst had attracted some attention causing the males at the next table over to gape at them.
"What about it?" Gray resisted the urge to slam his head against the table. Does this man seriously think nothing of what he did to Lucy? Lucy didn't seem to mind after all was said and done but did she feel anything special about what happened either? That is what the entire guild has been wondering.
"Well, did you, you know, enjoy it?" Gray stuttered out while rubbing the back of his neck. He never thought that he would ever have to ask his rival if he enjoyed groping one of his closest friends or not.
"What's that supposed to mean? I was only trying to help her." Natsu looked at him like a mad man. The pinkette unable to understand what Gray was getting at. But then again, maybe that was their answer.
"He means did you get turned on fire freak." Gajeel joined in on their conversation, having had enough of Gray beating around the bush. Once more Natsu looked on in confusion, unsure of the meaning behind 'turned on'. Was that supposed to be the same thing as when he was all fired up?
"You really are an idiot aren't you?" Gray asked this time. Natsu eyes darted from the iron mage to Gray.
"Hey!"
"Here is a better question, what did you feel when you held her boobs in your hands?" Gajeel asked. There were a few snickers from the table next to them but they ignored it.
"What does Lucy's boobs have to do with anything anyway?" Natsu's voice was raising slightly as he started to feel a little uncomfortable with these questions. In the corner of his eye, he could see the girls starting to turn to look at him but the red that dusted the blonds cheeks really stood out. Did she hear what he said?
"Everything! Now, answer the question." Gajeel added.
"Yeah Natsu, tell us what it was like to touch her tits!" Yelled out Wakaba which resulted in a bump to the head from Mirajane. He could tell that most of the men here were waiting for his answer and for some reason that sort of ticked him off.
"Why does it matter? Why would any of you care what her boobs feel like? If you want to know, go grab them yourself!" Natsu stood up, his eyes glaring at each of the men one by one. A silence lingered over the whole guild, but Natsu didn't notice. Movement in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned to see Gray standing up still wearing the same smirk as earlier.
"Good idea, Natsu." The ice mange stated before turning on his heels and walking towards the blond. The said blond's face exploded in a shade of red that one wouldn't think possible and it was clear that she heard everything that Natsu had said. There was even a slight look of hurt upon her face.
"No! Gray-sama, if you want to touch a girls boobs then touch mine!" Juvia groveled at his feet but Gray ignored her and continued his approach of the blond. Natsu watched on with eyes wide as Gray came to a stop right in front of Lucy. Her own brown eyes wide and face as crimson as Erza's hair. Everyone in the guild watched on in anticipation, their eyes flickering between Gray and Lucy, then back to Natsu wondering just what was going to happen. Was he really going to do it? And was Lucy going to let him?
Gray's arm reached up, and began it's slow climb towards the blonds oversized chest. The spirit mage, apparently frozen in her spot, didn't move nor react in anyway to deter the mans advances. Gray's hand was only an inch away and Lucy could feel the cool coming from his skin. Her brown eyes met with Natsu's onyx once before they turned back to the ice mage.
Right before Gray's hand could touch, he was sent flying into the bar by none of than Natsu. The pinkette's face was twisted with rage as he stood there, flames licking their way up his arms, and glaring at the unconscious dark haired man.
"N-Natsu?!" Lucy exclaimed. The surprise evident upon her face but her eyes showed just how relieved she truly felt. The sound of heavy boots came from behind the fire mage as he quickly shot around and eyed the iron dragon slayer standing behind him.
"Well are you going to answer the question or are you going to make us try that again?" Gajeel's smirk grew as he saw the fire flicker within the pinkette's eyes.
"You're not going to touch Lucy, I won't let you." Natsu threatened.
"Then just answer the question and we'll leave her alone." Gray was now waking up and heard Natsu's reply to Gajeel.
"Fine...what was the question again?" The guild all looked on at Natsu, each having the same thought. What an idiot.
"What was it like to touch Lucy's breasts?" Said girl cupped her blushing face within her palms, unsure of why she was even still here. But something inside her wanted to hear just what Natsu's answer was. He stood there in silence for a moment, his dark eyes shifted to the blond before his glare dropped.
"It felt weird." Silence followed his answer before laughter erupted. Lucy looked at the dragon slayer almost hurt by his words but she was sort of expecting it.
"I told you!" Someone shouted.
"I win!" Another shouted. Gray was now standing next to Natsu, and staring at him with a look of pity.
"Wait." Gray said trying to catch their attention, when the guild continued their loud discussions he cleared his throat and shouted over them all. "I said wait!" The guild fell into silence once more as they all looked over at the dark haired mage. "Natsu can you explain exactly what you mean by weird?"
Natsu cupped his chin with his hand as he thought of the words to describe what he meant. "Well, they felt squishy." He continued to think longer as Gray's hopes seemed to crumble at his first word. Maybe he was wrong and was putting a little too much hope in the dragon slayer. "They were heavy and weird." Natsu added.
"See, that doesn't change that I was right!" Macao shouted. Gray looked at the fire mage once more and could see that he was still deep in thought. The ice mage raised his hand to silence the man as they waited for Natsu to continue.
"But they were warm." The guild continued to wait, each on the edge of their seat. "And they were really soft, they even smelled just like her!" Natsu smiled after the last part, he always liked her smell.
"Anything else Natsu? What about how it made you feel?" Gray asked. He was silently cheering Natsu on, hoping that he would say something to prove Gray's point to the guys.
"Well, like I said it was weird but I was helping her so it was fine."
"Is that it?" Gray was beginning to lose hope once more. Damn this stupid dragon slayer.
"Oh and I felt really hot too." Now Gray's own eyes widened slightly as Lucy's head left her palms and she stared at the pinkette as well.
"What do you mean, hot? You're a fire dragon slayer, you shouldn't feel heat." Gajeel questioned. He was finding this rather amusing.
"A different kind of hot, I don't know. That's the only way I know how to describe it. I've never felt like that before. I just felt really hot, I was sweating and my clothes felt uncomfortably tight. For a moment there I was thinking that your stripping habits were contagious." He said looking over at Gray.
The guild then erupted in either cheers, laughter or groans of disappointment. Gray just smirked at the dragon slayer while Lucy looked at him with wide eyes. Her blush deeper than ever before. Gray slung his arm around the fire mages neck before he looked on at the crowd with his hand out.
"I told you! He may have the mind of a ten year old but he still has the body of a grown man and those hormones definitely spoke volumes that day!" Gray shouted. Natsu was still confused, what did his hormones have to do with anything?
"Natsu, you still don't understand what's going on?" Lucy asked. She approached him slowly, her flushing face angled away from him. She couldn't look him straight in the eye at that moment. When Natsu shook his head, she sighed. "It's okay, you'll understand one day and until then I'll wait." She smiled causing Natsu to smile in response. He wasn't sure what she was talking about but she was willing to wait for him and for some reason that made him happy.
"Did you hear that?!" Shouted Mirajane. Lucy's eyes widened when she realized that the silver haired beauty was standing right behind her. The guild turned to look over their way as Lucy hung her head in shame. "Lucy said that until Natsu understood, she was willing to wait to have sex!" Lucy groaned as she heard the words leave the barmaids lips. That was not what she had said.
"Oh, you guys are talking about sex? Why didn't you say so?" Natsu questioned.
"Because you are such an idiot that we had to approach you sensitively." Gray answered.
"Says the idiot who made us go through all that, if you had just asked me if I wanted to have sex with Lucy then, I would have told you yes." The guild erupted once more, each person having their own response to Natsu's admission while Lucy tried to hide herself from view behind Natsu's back. Natsu chuckled at her shyness, finding it really cute.
"So Natsu, how often do you think of having sex with Lucy?" Wakaba asked.
"All the time!" More laughter ensued and all Lucy wished was that she had kept her big mouth shut. But, somewhere deep inside her was happy that she knew exactly how Natsu feels now.
"Why haven't you done something about it?" Gajeel snickered. This whole thing was just simply too funny. He couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Because she wasn't ready." Natsu answered honestly. Lucy's eyes widened and her heart fluttered. In a strange way, that was really sweet.
"I'd say she's ready now with what she said just moments ago." Macao added. Once more Lucy's eyes widened before Natsu quickly shot around to face her.
"Really?!" Before she could even respond, he grabbed hold of the blond and threw her over his shoulder before racing out the door. "Let's go Luce! We're going to have some fun!"
"Kyaa! Someone help me!"
Once more, I am here to update but I do not have my book with me. So unfortunately I can not give you the theme for the next chapter. I am sorry, but for some reason I keep forgetting it! It's so wrong of me, I know and I'm sorry. Hopefully you all enjoy chapter 24, 76 more chapters to go! I just had to do this one. Seriously, after that manga chapter, everyone was doing one where they continued and did 'other things', I on the other hand wanted to make something to say what Natsu thought of what happened but then it kind of escalated into this.
Hopefully you like, I really really really hope you do. It wasn't originally planned to end like this. It was supposed to be one of those, you know what I am saying without actually saying it but that apparently didn't happen. Anyway, let me know what you think! Thanks so much, Angel!
