Hello guys! Thanks again for all the support so far! I really appreciate it, and I hope you guys stick around for more! Sorry in advance, this chapter is pretty short and I haven't been updating for a while... I've been both sick and busy. Uploading this in my bed right now via my iPad ;-;
DICLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT THIS STORY.
PIZZA IS FREAKIN AWESOME PEOPLE!
XOXOX
Lucy reluctantly removed herself from her desk and walked out of her room to answer the door. Since she lived alone, every night she had to either cook (something she wasn't very good at) or order take-away. That was also one reason why she liked hanging out with her friends.
Tonight she had just ordered pizza because she didn't feel like eating anything else.
"Hi!" Lucy opened her door to see a delivery man who was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and matching dark pants with an apron advertising the local pizza store.
Lucy was about to greet him back when she noticed that the man had pink hair.
"NATSU?!" She exclaimed.
Natsu just looked up at her with an expression she couldn't read, then he shook his head. "I tried to hide my hair…"
"Why? People won't judge you, you know."
"Yes they will! They have, and they will. But that's not the reason why, anyway." He pouted.
Lucy stared at him and blinked once; silently asking him to continue.
"Because I didn't want you to recognise me."
How- oh, that's right. He knows my address.
"Why?"
"Because what I didn't want was this exact situation." Natsu said.
Silence.
"It's cold." Natsu quite randomly stated.
"I know. I'm not dumb." Lucy replied.
"The pizza will get cold."
"No matter, I can just microwave it." Lucy pointed out.
"I will get cold."
"Want me to microwave you?" She joked.
"Hmm..."
"WAIT, YOU'RE REALLY CONSIDERING THAT?"
"No. I was thinking about how weird you can be."
A vein in Lucy's head popped and she gritted her teeth."Okay. Gimme the freaking pizza and leave." She ordered, putting emphasis on the 'leave'.
Natsu took the box and gave it to Lucy. It was warm. Too warm to believe that it was in the cold for at least ten minutes. At least, that was what it felt like.
"I kept it warm." Natsu seemed to understand her confusion.
"Ewww! I'm not gonna eat something that's been so close to a person like you!" Lucy teased.
"Eughh! I don't mean body heat! That'll be gross!" Natsu scrunched up his face and stuck his tongue out to make a grossed out expression.
He revealed a well-tanned hand which was holding a well-lit… Fire.
"Wha...?" Lucy raised her eyebrows. It was obviously a fake.
"Not a fake!" Natsu grinned, proud of himself. "I learnt how to do fire tricks from my old man when I was little."
"Woah, cool! You should show me more. I mean, us. Like, our group. The GIRL'S side of the group. I doubt the boys would care. After all, they all have their own special ability too, right?" Lucy kind of fumbled with the words as she tried to say what she wanted to say quickly.
Natsu sniggered. "The ice princess doesn't have any special abilities except for the fact that he's good at sculpting with ice. Us 'Dragon Slayers' can eat our element… Somehow… And it makes us special."
"Wait, you can eat fire?!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Well, sort of. It's another fire trick. Plus, Gajeel's element is iron! He can eat metal."
"What about Gray, then? He can eat… Ice. Oh. Everyone can eat ice!" Lucy felt stupid.
"Yeah, but he's also not cold. He's never cold. I'm ALWAYS cold!" Natsu complained.
"At least you're never hot." Lucy pointed out.
"Yeah, I'm not." Natsu shrugged. "BUT THE COLD IS THE WORST! I WANNA GO HOME AND HAVE A HOT BATH!" He shivered.
Lucy laughed. "Okay, you can go home now. Thanks a lot for keeping my pizza warm!"
"No problem!" Natsu grinned, showing a row of shiny teeth. She noticed that his canines were also extra pointy, like a devil's or a dragon's. She also saw a tinge of pink play on his cheeks as he waved goodbye and dashed into the house next to her.
What she didn't notice, though, was the fact that she herself was blushing at his genuine smile.
I hope that was okay! Thanks for reading this chapter (assuming that you did) and don't forget to leave a review to tell me how well I did! I love all of you guys!
