School Concert.

Lucy heard shuffling in her room as she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body. She walked out of the bathroom to see Natsu standing by the door and grinning at her.
"NATSU YOU IDIOT!" Lucy yelled as she held the towel covering her body with a hand and used the other to smack Natsu.
"OW!" Natsu yelled as he fell on the floor, he put his hand on his head where Lucy hit him and stared at her with puppy eyes. "I'm sorry~ I just wanted to visit!"
"HOW MANY TIMES DID I TELL YOU NOT TO GET IN USING THE WINDOW?!" She yelled.
"I didn't.." Said Natsu as he pointed towards the closed window. Lucy looked at it in confusion and then noticed the door with the broken lock.
"YOU IDIOT! KNOCK!" She yelled making Natsu cover his ears. "Luceee! You know about my sensitive ears!" He whined.
"Idiot.." She rolled her eyes and went back into the bathroom.
...
"Now what did you want?" Lucy asked as she left the bathroom while making a side ponytail. She stared at Natsu as he lied on her bed hands behind his head as one eye shot open.
"Oh, Luce. You changed.." He said as he eyed her outfit; A red tank top and jean shorts, before closing his eye once again.
"No shit Sherlock.." She said dropping her hands to her side and putting them on her hip. "No what did you want?"
"I missed ya'.."
"You saw me today, at school.. idiot.." She sighed and went to her desk. She pulled the chair back and sat down as she grabbed her pencil and continued writing her novel.
"Luce.. What's love?.." Natsu asked coldly after noticing the word 'love' in Lucy's romance novel. Lucy shivered from the hot air on her neck and blushed , she turned around to see him leaning close to her and reading her novel with his emotionless onyx eyes, his hands shoved in his pocket.
"E-Eh?!" She asked moving away from him a bit. He stood up straight and stared as their eyes finally connected. "What's love?" He asked nonchalantly.
"E-Eto.." She sighed and looked at her novel. "Love is when you there's someone that you always like to spend time with and care for them deeply.."
"Ehhh.." He put his hand behind his head. "I expected you to say something deep like, 'For some, Love is a need but for some, it's only a desire. Some make love a binding and some make it their independence.'" Natsu stopped and took a deep breath dropping his hands to his side and staring down as he recalled Lisanna's words while Lucy stared at him wide-eyed in shock. "'And in fact, The meaning of love can't be really explained, it has to be experienced. Some say Love is to be tasted, like the sweet candy that melts in your mouth.'" He sighed as he continued, "'I don't know the definition of love, but is it sacrifices and pain?'" He tightened his fists while Lucy had tears welling up at the corner of her eyes, she tried to reach to his shoulder but stopped and dropped her hands besides her, "'It's not..Love is what binds you to someone and also frees you from the rest. It's an abyss which you want to fall only to reach its bottom and be blessed by whatever you find.'" He stopped and looked up to stare at Lucy in the eye, "That's what someone told me.. but.. these are all.."
Natsu tightened his fists as tears went down his cheeks. He bit his lip and shook his head, "Lies.." Natsu whispered, "Love is pain."
"N-Natsu.." Lucy whispered.
"L-Love.. Love is a big mistake.. It's a waste of time.. a waste of effort.." Natsu's tears stopped as he looked back at Lucy's worried eyes with emotionless ones.
"That's why.. I never wanna fall in love.. again.." Lisanna.
Lucy's eyes widened,"N-Natsu?"
"Ehhh.. Sorry.." He said as he grinned nervously after wiping his tears, he scratched the back of his head before running to the window and opening it and jumping of of it.
Lucy stared at where Natsu stood a few moments ago, "Shit.."
Natsu shoved his hands in his pocket and kicked a rock, "Shit.."

"FLAMES FOR BRAINS!" Yelled Gray as he ran away from his fan girls and stopped by Natsu who was by his locker and also surrounded by fan girls. Soon, almost the whole girls of the school were around them.
"What do ya' want?" Natsu asked rolling his eyes as Gray held on to his shoulder and breathed heavily.
"Help.." Gray said as he looked up at his fellow band member with pleading eyes before being pulled away by Juvia.
Natsu sighed and hung his bag around his shoulder, "GOOD LUCK!" He yelled and smirked as he walked to class, all of his fangirls following him while he managed to perfectly ignore them.
He spotted Lucy by the corner of his eye as he sighed and shoved his hands in his pocket while walking into class.
...
"Ne, Natsu.." Lucy said as she sat on her seat. Natsu looked at her with cold eyes, "Why are you ignoring me?" She asked making Natsu's eyes widen. It's true, they have been ignoring each other ever since Natsu explained love. The thing that had actually surprised him was the fact that he thought she was also ignoring him.
"I'm not ignoring you.." He said as he looked away.
"Yes you you are!" Lucy said as she pouted.
"Natsu and Lucy, do you have something to share with us?"
"N-No Mr. Clive.." Lucy said as she turned pink.
Natsu only rolled his eyes and stared back at the board and noticed that Lucy was still staring at him, "Tsk.."
"Jellal Fernandez, Erza Scarlet, Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, and Gajeel Redfox, please come to the principles office." A voice echoed from the speakers and through the whole school as a few gasps were heard in class.
"What does Gramps want now?" Natsu mumbled as he slowly stood up and Gajeel and Gray followed.
.~.
.~.
.~.
"So, what did you want? Master?" Erza asked as she folded her arms.
"Not this 'Master' shit again.." Mumbled Gajeel as he looked away, Erza heard him as she turned around and glared at him, she stomped her way to him and grabbed him by the collar.
"What was that?" She growled.
"N-Nothin'!" Gajeel said as he waved his hands in front of him for 'defense'.
"Thought so.." Erza said as she stood in front of the short-mans desk.
"Hey, Ice-princess, I see you and that Juvia chick are getting pretty close.." Natsu said as he smirked and nudged Gray.
A chill ran up Gray's spine as he shivered, "Don't remind me.." Gray smirked, "Besides, there's you and Lucy.."
"WANNA SAY THAT AGAIN?! ICE-FREAK!" Natsu yelled as he stood in front of Gray in a fighting position, "WANNA GO?!"
"ANYTIME, DRAGON-FREAK!" Gray said as Natsu launched at him and they started throwing punches and insults back and forth at each other.
"Natsu.. Gray.." Erza said in a low voice as she walked towards them, dark aura emitting around her, "You're getting along, aren't you?"
"A-Aye!" They said in unison as Natsu still had Gray in a head lock.
"Good.."
"You kids never change.." Sighed the principle as the band members all averted their attention to him.
"Yo, Jii-chan!" Natsu said grinning and waving his hand.
"Gihi, Long time no see, Makarov," Gajeel grinned.
"That's master to you.." Makarov said making Gajeel growl in frustraion, "an' I finally thought I was over with this master shit."
"Anyways, what did you call us here for, Makarov-san?" Jellal asked.
"Oh, that. I was wondering if you guys could join the talent show.."
"Talent show?" Erza asked.
"This will be our first year making it
"And why would we join it?" Gray asked.
"I just want you to sing a few songs at the end of it.." He said grinning.
"When's it gonna' be?" Gajeel asked.
"After three weeks, On October thirty-first. "
"Wait, That's Halloween.." Jellal said. "Is it gonna be after school? Because Someone here probably wants to go trick o' treating.."
"No, It's going to be on the school day, you can choose whatever songs you want."
"YOSH!" Natsu grinned and raised his fist up in the air, "SCHOOL CONCERT!" Erza smiled as she looked at Natsu then turned back to Makarov, "Like the old times?" She asked as Makarov nodded.
"Like the old times.."

"Hmm? A talent show?" Lucy asked Levy as her petite friend nodded furiously.
"Yep! And we can even make groups!" Levy squealed before stabbing her beans and blooping it into her mouth.
"Juvia is going to impress Gray-sama.." Juvia smiled as she began to fantasies about their future while Lucy and Levy sweat-dropped, "twenty babies with blue hair running around the house drinking water and stripping!"
"Juvia.." Levy sighed then smiled and looked at Lucy, "Me, Mira and Juvia are planning to join! Wanna tag in?"
"Depends." Lucy said taking a sip out of her milk.
"Depends?"
"When is the talent show? What are we doing? Are there any rules? How many people is the max in a group? Why isn't Cana joining? Is the clothing appropriate? How long is it gonna be?—" Lucy counted on her fingers as Levy waved her hand in front of her to stop her and rolled her eyes.
"Ok, ok, I get it.." Levy took a deep breath before she started."It's in three weeks, We're not sure yet, we'll check later, we'll check that later too, she's probably going to be drunk by then, probably, not sure yet." She sighed and looked at Lucy.
"Well, I really don't wanna join.. sorry guys.." Lucy apologized. "What?! Why?!" Levy whisper-yelled as she slammed her hands on the table.
"Hehe.. Well, I don't like joining in these kinds of things.. sorry.." Lucy said making Levy calm down, "Ok, But you're gonna watch us right?" Levy asked making Lucy nod in response.
"Of course!"
So.. How was it?
I don't know what else to say, but R&R! And hope you enjoyed!
