Chapter 3
Lucy (POV)
It was a good thing that today's the start of spring break because I needed to buy a new alarm clock. It kept saying 6:00 for goodness sake. You're probably wondering what I'm doing right now huh. Well I'm headed to the mall to find a new alarm clock and probably get some food there too. Man where is that alarm clock store. I can't find. Muah why does this mall have to be so big.
~Hours of picking an alarm clock with the cheapest price~
"Finally I found the right one, now I should…." I said happily until I banged onto something hard. Why am I so clumsy at such happy moments?
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" I apologized to the person.
"Gosh Luigi why are you always crashing into me? Did you fall for me that hard?" the person retorted. Wait a minute, I know that voice.
"As if I would fall for a person like you and what are you doing here!" I fumed still blushing at his silly catchphrase. Why does fate always tend to make us meet together?
"Just hanging out with a few friends. What about you?" Natsu implored crossing his arms.
"I just came here to buy an alarm clock. Anyway where are your friends if you guys are hanging out?" I questioned looking into his eyes.
"Well Gray's going on a date with Juvia, Jellal and Erza are eating strawberry cake, and Gajeel is somewhere else," Natsu explained thoroughly as I chuckled, "HaHaha all your friends are with their girlfriends and your by yourself"
"Hey don't laugh! At least girls admire me and what about you, you don't even have a boyfriend either." Natsu hinted out with a blush.
"Well the perfect guy just hasn't come yet," I said denying the truth of my relationship status.
"Yeah right," Natsu blurted out as I threatened him, "What did you say?!"
"NN-nothing," Natsu stuttered as I left to the food court.
"Hey where you going?" Natsu asked ever so curious.
"To the food court so you don't have to follow me anymore." I claimed but he suddenly grabbed my wrist. He stared into my eyes and suggested, "I'll go with you besides you'll need some company"
"O-okay," I stammered with a blush growing on my face.
~At the Food Court~
"Are you sure you're going to eat all of that, Natsu?" I questioned the amount of food that he ordered.
"Owf cuwsfe, Ldse! (Of course Lucy)" Natsu assured with his mouth full of food. And I still wonder why girls like him. "Do you want some Luce?" Natsu suggested with the nickname I haven't heard in a while.
"Oh no thanks I'm full," I persisted not wanting to eat more than I can.
~A Few Minutes Later~
"I knew I shouldn't have invited you," I complained.
"It's not fault, I was hungry Luce!" Natsu whined, trying to convince me otherwise of his appetite. However, the weather started getting a bit colder and breezier. I wondered if Gray said something to make Juvia sad.
~At Gray's~
"Achoo, Achoo, Achoo!" Gray sneezed as Juvia gave him a tissue and asked, "Are you okay Gray-sama?"
"Yeah I guess someone's just talking about me," Gray thought.
"Love Rival!"Juvia muttered to herself.
~Back to Natsu & Lucy~
All of a sudden it began to sprinkle a little and Natsu and I had to run to find a dry place. We had finally found shade under a building. "Maybe I should head home before it rains harder," I suggested so Natsu wouldn't be bothered.
"No way are you going out there by yourself!" Natsu debated over my choice of transportation. "I'll just call my butler to pick us up."
"Fine," I agreed with his decision because he knows I get sick easily even if it's just a little rain.
"Here you can wear my jacket," Natsu offered as I thanked him and wore his jacket. To be honest, Natsu's jacket was warm and soothing since it smelt like smoke and cinnamon. Uh what am I doing smelling a dude's jacket but it does smell nice.
~Butler Drives Them Home~
I thought we were going to head to my house but it seemed that the butler had passed it a while ago. "Um Natsu my house was over there," I said pointing towards my house.
"You're going to stay over at my house. Besides Grandine would like to see you," Natsu implored. I can't believe him and I thought he was being nice to me too.
"I knew I should have walked home," I mumbled to myself.
sidjr100: I'll update tomorrow or next week too so don't worry.
Rose Tiger: I agree with you but they don't know that yet.
