"Natsu, calm down!" Lucy yelled at her best friend, eagerly trying to break free of Natsu's grip on her wrist. "We have to wait for everyone else!"
Natsu suddenly came to a stop in front of the large set of doors, impatiently waiting for the rest of the class to catch up.
Lucy ran into his shoulder, stumbling back before regaining her balance. "Why is it that every time we go somewhere, you drag me to the front?" She asked, staring up at the large letters that read 'Fairy Tail High School'.
Natsu grinned, crossing his arms proudly while looking back at the teacher, who was finally managing to catch up. "'Cause Zeref let me see his schedule, I know exactly where he'll be as we look around the school!"
From the front of the group Gray laughed, inspecting the school's exterior as he walked. "No joke, that makes you sound like a stalker."
"Shut up, at least I don't strip when I get bored!" Natsu shot back, glancing down at Gray's torso before glaring at the shirt in Juvia's hands.
"Hey, Luce, what time is it?" Natsu whispered as they entered the math department, reading the name of each teacher as they passed.
Lucy quickly checked her phone, responding to a short text before putting it back in her bag. "It's almost two, is Zeref in one of these rooms?" She asked, instantly regretting her answer when Natsu ran towards a door a few feet ahead, throwing it open with an unbelievably loud "Yo!"
Erza was the first to react, pulling Natsu back by his scarf while Lucy grabbed the door handle, yelling an apology before slamming it shut, noticing all the amused looks on every senior's face, a few poking fun at an extremely embarrassed and confused Zeref.
"That's it, you're staying in the back with me, don't say anything until we get back to our school!" Erza announced, dragging Natsu by his scarf to the back of the group, ignoring his complaints and the laughs of kids around them.
Natsu slid out of the detention chair, grabbing his study packet and carelessly shoving it into his already over filled bag before walking to the front desk, taking his cell phone and turning it back on, the buzzing stopping after about thirty seconds as an unusual amount of text messages flooded in.
27 messages from: Zeref the screen read as other notifications about emails and different applications continued to pop up.
"Shit…" Natsu mumbled as he exited the school, walking towards the red car that Zeref sat in, glaring at absolutely nothing in front of him.
As soon as the car door was open, Zeref directed his glare at Natsu, frustration evident in his voice. "Why the hell did you do that?"
Natsu flinched, slowly lowering himself into the car, thinking up an escape route in case things took a turn for the worst. "Well, in my defense…" He paused, watching as Zeref forcefully turned the key, the engine turning on faster than it probably should have. "you're the one that let me see your schedule…"
Zeref began to drive out of the school lot, carelessly flailing his right hand around as he talked to himself, repeating things like "I can't believe him" and "What kind of an idiot does that?" until Natsu knew when he would say them.
"Did you know my girlfriend was in that class with me?" Zeref asked after roughly five minutes, eyes darting around as he examined each mirror for any danger, not bothering to wait for Natsu's response. "Yeah, she thought that little stunt you pulled was cute, says she can't wait to meet you." Zeref spoke each sentence quickly, glaring at almost everything as he turned onto their street. "There's a reason the only times she comes over is when you're gone, I didn't want her to see you until you matured more!"
Natsu grinned cockily, leaning back into his seat after realizing he was safe for the time being. "What can I say, girls love- hey, what was that for!?" He spoke as Zeref flicked Natsu's ear.
"Go after somebody else, Mavis is mine." Zeref stated, parking his car in the driveway. "By the way, you're lucky that Igneel works late tonight, you'd be dead if he answered the phone."
Natsu cringed at the thought, remembering how he promised not to get into any trouble during the last month of school as he pulled his bag from the car, a somewhat important question suddenly coming to mind. "Did you say Mavis is only here when I'm gone?" He asked, waiting for Zeref to nod before continuing. "How many times has she been here when Igneel was gone, too?"
"That is absolutely none of your business!"
I know I said I would update like four days ago but you should all know that I'm very bad at keeping dates so when I say I'll update a certain day just expect for it to be at least two days late. Now that that's out of the way, the next chapter should be out within a week.
As you can see, my shipping trash self emerges even more in this chapter with a bit of Zervis, enjoy it because there won't be too much, but it'll still be quite fluffy.
Some people were worried I would make Juvia stalker like and stuff, but don't worry, I also hate that trope and Juvia is my favorite character, she won't be creepy and stalkery like some people make her out to be.
