I've kept you guys waiting far too long ;-;

Throw me away like garbage, because that's how badly I have abandoned you beautiful people. T^T

I made you this chapter, if you can ever forgive me. ;~;

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, if I did, they'd be fighting blobs with spoons. That's how bad it would be.

Anyways...

Enjoy.

Chapter 3: Dates and- Rain?

Normal POV

~Evening~

"Being blind sucks!" Lucy yelled to no one in particular and face-planted herself onto her bed. She kicked off her shoes and started muttering curses even sailors wouldn't dare to say. After having her tantrum, she decided she'd go to bed early.

~Morning~

"Lucy, get up!"

"No, five more minutes." She groaned and started swatting at the source of the voice.

"I already put your clothes on the edge of your bed." Cana stated through her chugging.

"You're not making me wear a skirt again, are you?" Lucy pleaded.

"Nah, I gave you skinny jeans today you big baby."

At that, Lucy jumped off her bed and felt around for the outfit, moving her way towards the bathroom. She got in and changed, letting out a sigh of relief as she slid on the jeans. That skirt only caused her trouble… maybe it was cursed.

Cana helped her brush her hair and then there was a knock on the door.

"Must be Loke." Lucy muttered. Cana led her out and Lucy opened the door.

"Hey Lo-ke?" Lucy stuttered because that definitely did not smell like Loke. Loke smelled like a gallon of cologne, and this person smelled like cinnamon and a fireplace.

"No, Natsu, but you can call me whatever you want Blondie."

"Tsk." Lucy clenched her jaw, "I didn't order any idiots." Then she slammed the door in his face.

"Who was that?" Cana arched a brow.

"The idiot I mentioned before."

"What did he want?"

"Don't know, don't care." Lucy heard yelling from the other side of the door and smelled the walking Hollister store. "The real Loke's here."

She opened the door again, to be greeted with, "Lucy, who the hell is this?!"

"Huh?" She tilted her head, "Doesn't matter. Just drive me to school or we'll be late." She threw her backpack in Loke's direction.

"Wait, Luce, I needed to ask you a question."

Did Natsu just give her a nickname?

"What is it?" She groaned. 'My time is wasting away by standing with these morons!' She mentally screamed.

"Will you go on a date with me?"

"Why?!" She backed up in shock from the question.

"This may sound cliché, but I want to make Lisanna jealous."

"That's low Dragneel." She growled.

Loke stood there, too shocked to move. 'Why was this moron asking my Lucy out?!'

"Please Blondie?"

"No, get someone else to be your puppet."

"If you help me, I won't bug you anymore after this."

"That sounds tempting…"

"Exactly, so will you help me?" She could tell he was too close for comfort because she could smell the cinnamon on him.

"What if I give you advice on getting her?" There was no way in hell she'd be in a relationship, even if it was a fake one, with him.

"That'd be even better, can you do that?"

Lucy pushed him away from her. "Yeah."

"Thanks Luce."

Again with that nickname?

Before she knew it, she was being spun around like a ragdoll.

"Let go of me Dragneel!" She started kicking and swinging. He held her tighter for a second before he set her back on the ground.

"You're the best Blondie." He gave her a smile, but even though she was blind, she knew it was there.

"Whatever." The blonde started walking with Loke towards the car.

~School~

"Okay."

"Yeeesss."

"I got it."

"Alright Loke!"

Lucy had started to block out what the boy was saying. He kept telling her to stay away from Natsu, to not fall in love with him, blah, blah, blah, ooh girl!

When he stopped talking, she took her stuff from him and headed to class. She was just walking, until she bumped into someone.

By running into that person, she took in the powerful scent of rain and grass, and it actually smelled really nice.

"Shit."

Whose voice was that?

"I'm sorry!" She tried to apologize, because, to be truthful; she didn't want anyone else scolding her right now.

"It's okay, just minor chest pain. No big deal." The voice uttered.

"Again, sorry, I'm well, erm, blind, so of course I didn't see you, but trust me, if I could see I'd probably end up bumping into you anyways, I mean, no, I wouldn't, I would try not to bump into you-…"

"It's okay, chill, I wouldn't be mad even if you could see me."

"Thank god." Lucy immediately relaxed at hearing him say that.

"My name's Sting."

"Like a bee?"

"Hey! N-no!"

"Well, my name's Lucy." She smiled and held out her hand. Right when she felt her fingertips touch his, she was slung over someone's shoulder and was being taken away.

"Let go, let go, let go!" Lucy started slamming her fists against the person's back.

"It's just me Blondie."

"Okay then, I guess that changes things…Someone, anyone, help! He's trying to rape me! Sexual harassment!"

"Oi! No I'm not." He started reassuring people that were giving the two strange looks.

"Where are you taking me?"

"To the café."

"Class is starting though!"

"So?"

"So we need to be in class!"

"Devising plans to help me be in a relationship is way more important than some stupid lesson."

"I really don't agree with you!" The blond began flailing her limbs around again.

"Stop it Blondie, I'm gonna end up dropping you."

"That's the idea."

"Oh, and I don't want you talking to Sting."

"Wha-? Sting? Why not? He seems nice." She was a little shocked at the outburst.

"Just don't talk to him."

"Is someone jealous?" She smirked.

"WHAT?! NO! I mean, I'm after Lisanna, not some annoying, loud, weird chick."

"That's it, put me down." Lucy was, quite frankly, offended at what he said, and she did not want to put up with his crap anymore, which is sad because she hasn't even known him for very long.

"No."

"Put. Me. Down."

"Like I said, no."

Lucy pushed herself up, her hands now against his chest, so now, she was face to face with him, and no, she didn't care how uncomfortable that was for him.

"Hey, do you like this new gum I've been testing?" She asked innocently.

"Wha-? Why are you-?"

The girl blew in his face, and for a second, he blushed, yes, you heard right, the great bad boy Natsu Dragneel blushed at what she did.

"Blondie?!"

"How is it?" To add emphasis, she gave a small pout, and no, she didn't like how close she was to him either, especially since last time she was this close to him, she had ended up kissing him. That memory brought shivers down her spine.

Natsu could feel a small vibration run through his arms for a second. His breathing was uneven, but he was supposed to feel this way only with his childhood friend, Lisanna. So why was he blushing, and why the hell was he nervous?

"F-fine." He set her down after that. "W-we're here anyways."
