Chapter 20- First Kiss

**Time set: After the plane trip to LA**

"Hmm, I thought we'd stay in a better resort" Jellal thought to himself.

The resort they were staying at was Tropical themed and called 'The Island. What a creative name.

"Lucy! Hurry up!" Gray called out.

"Why…Do I...Have to...Pull them all up!?" Lucy said and heaved three suitcases into the large room.

"Lucy, are you ok? You don't look to well" Loke asked.

"I'm fine, Natsu just gave me his cold" Lucy said with a glare to Natsu, before she sneezed softly.

"COME ON! YOU GET THAT WHILE MY SNEEZES WERE TRYING TO MURDER ME!" Natsu shouted.

"ARE YOU SAYING YOU WANT ME TO ALMOST DIE!?" Lucy barked at him.

"YES!- Wait, I mean no" Natsu said with a nervous smile.

"I hate people sometimes..." Lucy muttered as she walked back down to get the other suitcases.

"Ah Natsu, it seems that you still aren't go around women" Loke sighed.

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Natsu shouted and put his hands into fist, ready to make the first hit.

"I'm talking about the fact that you never will and never have had a girlfriend."

"I'm done!" Lucy cried out in joy, and then proceeded to sneeze.

"I could get a girl if I wanted to!" Natsu protested, completely ignoring Lucy's presence.

"Please, with the way you dress and act? Sorry, but teen girls don't like dating 5th graders" Loke said with a scoff.

As anger took over Natsu's body, he did the only rational thing he could do.

"LOKE!" Lucy screamed and ran towards his almost unconscious figure. The strawberry-blonde held his head as tears began to form in the corners of his eyes as a result of the immense pain he felt.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A SMART ASS!" Natsu began to laugh hysterically.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THREW A COCONUT AT HIS FACE!" Lucy screamed. "Um, uh! I need ice!" She said to herself and ran up to check the freezer, which was empty of course.

"I'm going to murder you Natsu!" Loke yelled and went to punch him, thus leading to an all-out war between the two.

"You're only angry because you know what I said is true" Loke said with a smirk and dodged a punch.

"Shut up!" Natsu yelled and went to punch again, having success when his face came into contact with Loke's jaw.

"Natsu! Calm down!" Gray said as he tried to hold Natsu back while Jellal held Loke.

"Yeah, calm down Natsu, no one likes it when little kids have tantrums" Loke snickered.

"And you shut up Loke!" Gray yelled.

"I really need some ice..." Lucy muttered as she watched the scene unfold in front of her.

"Get the fuck of me!" Natsu shouted and pushed Gray away.

"Where are you going!?" Gray called out.

"A walk!" Natsu replied before storming out.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted and ran after him, almost crashing into Gajeel.

The studded boy raised a curious eyebrow. "What did I miss?"

As Natsu walked down the streets, he pulled his hoodie up further to cover more of his salmon hair, he sure as hell didn't need any paparazzi right now.

"Natsu!" Lucy called out, but didn't get a response. "Natsu, talk to me" She said and caught up to his fast pace. "You can't ignore me forever, I'm your maid remember" Lucy said with a smile, but sighed when he ignored her once again. She quietly followed him, looking at her feet as she walked, there was no way she was brave enough to look up and see the stares she got, in her opinion, it would look something like 'The murderer and the maid'.

"Is what Loke said true?" Lucy asked, breaking the silence, "That you've never had a girlfriend?"

He hesitated a bit, but eventually nodded.

"If it makes you feel any better, I've never had a boyfriend before." Lucy said and played with the hem of her dress.

"Really?" He asked and glanced down.

"Yep" She said quietly before sneezing.

"You look cold" He said and placed his jacket around her.

"Thanks" She mumbled and held the clothing closer to her body.

"So…why haven't you dated anyone? I would've thought that someone like you has dated before" Natsu asked, not seeming to care about personal boundaries.

"Because all my friends have dated but it always ends and they always end up crying and acting all depressed, saying how 'He was the one', so by this I've learnt that it hurts to have your heart broken and it's not something I want to try" Lucy explained.

"You've never had a first kiss?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.

"Nope, I'm 18 and still haven't had my first kiss, that sounds pretty sad" Lucy said with a small laugh.

"Not really, I'm 19 and I've never had a first kiss or a girlfriend" Natsu said with a shrug. "That sounds even sadder."

"You know, we could...Never mind" Lucy said and laughed to herself.

"We could what?" Natsu asked.

"Don't worry, it's a stupid idea" She said and shook her head.

"What is?" Natsu asked a stopped walking, making her stop in front of him.

"Well, since we've both never had our first kiss...we could maybe...I don't know how to put this, try it on each other?" Lucy said awkwardly.

"Sure" He said after thinking about it and just like in the movie's, cupped her face in his hands and captured her lips with his.

Anything that she had been thinking was long forgotten when her eye lids closed and her arms wrapped around his neck, it didn't feel like how the fairy tales made it seem, there were no fireworks or wedding chimes going through her head, she didn't picture a life with him, she just kissed him, and loved every second of it.

It was kinda weird, but he'd never noticed how she smelt like vanilla, was it a perfume she just started using or is that just her natural scent? Either way, he liked it. The city, in a way, disappeared, it was like everyone and everything around them was gone and it was the only the two of them, but reality came bursting through their little bubble when a beyond star-struck fan girl screamed "IT'S NATSU DRAGNEEL!"
