Trouble?
Lucy frowned as the light of the morning sun came through the opened curtains. Her head felt like it was splitting in two, and she had a really bad taste in her mouth. She sat up from the bed, her head spinning like crazy, and realized she was back in her house.
"Morning, sunshine!" A familiar voice called out, sounding way too chirpy for such a shitty morning. "Had a good sleep, kitty?"
'Kitty?' She thought, looking to the door where Natsu was standing with a glass of green... sludge?
"Here you go! Drink up! It's Cana's special hangover drink. Might help you with that sickness you're feeling right now." He said cheerfully. Lucy didn't see why he is so jolly today. She sniffed the glass and promptly gagged. Natsu must have seen her hesitation because he put his hand under the glass before she could throw it away.
"Oh no! You're drinking that whole glass. You have work today, right?"
With Natsu's insistence, Lucy gulped down the whole drink. Once she finished, she closed her eyes and felt a shudder go down her body, but she could feel her headache fading slightly. She opened her eyes and noticed something.
"You didn't take out my contact lenses?" She asked since she could see her boyfriend clearly without her glasses.
"Yeah, I feel a little squeamish poking my hand into my own eye, let alone someone else's." He said as he watched her take her contact solution and container from her bag. "That's not a problem, right?"
"Well, it is harmful for my eye to keep it in overnight but I guess I can't really do much about it now." Lucy said, taking out the lenses and blinking her eyes because of the irritation. "I even read online that if you wear it for more than 3 days bacteria can live in it and eat away at your eyes."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah, it's really dangerous for your eyes. But I did read it online so I'm not sure about the eye eating bacteria."
She stored the contacts and got up, walking to the sink to clean her eyes with water. She let out a sigh when the cold water met her face. After cleaning her eyes, she took the towel Natsu was offering and dried her face.
"What happened last night?" She asked, confused. She didn't know why she was back home when her last memory is drinking shots with Cana.
"You mean you don't remember? After all you did to me?" He smirked, his tone teasing, and Lucy was suddenly afraid.
"W-what? What did I do?" Natsu just continued to smirk, and Lucy suddenly started remembering hazy memories.
last night
Lucy did another little dance after scoring a point in beer pong. She didn't exactly know how this game is played. You win as long as you drink, right?
"Take another shot Ashley!" The referee yelled, and Lucy whooped, drinking her shot without any problem. After her third shot, it was as easy as water for her.
She wasn't sure how she got into this state either. She was with Natsu the first few rounds but lost him afterward when Cana dragged her away to join some party games.
'I hope he's not too worried.' She thought, her small sense of sobriety hanging on to her. She took aim and throw it only to miss. Her opponent, some black-haired girl smirked at her and aimed.
"ANOTHER SHOT FOR ASHLEY!" The referee yelled, and Lucy whooped again.
'I'm sure he's fine!'
Elsewhere
'Where is she?!' Natsu thought while looking for her in panic. He only likes away for one second to help some guys move some things, and the next moment she was gone. He was sure Cana was to blame, but he couldn't find either of them.
"Fancy meeting you here Natsu." A familiar voice said, and Natsu turned to see Dimaria. She was smiling as usual, but her smile turned to a frown when she saw him. "Ew. What are you wearing?"
"Oh you know, Lucy wanted to wear an onesie and I figured, why not?"
"Lucy? You're girlfriend? That still a thing?" She asked, and Natsu grimaced. He didn't know why Dimaria could just accept that he was taken. 'It wasn't like he was a bad boyfriend or anything. What's her problem?'
"And why exactly are you wearing one too?"
"Thought it would look cute, like a couple." Her face seems to sour even more, but before she could say anything someone called out to him.
"Dragneel! Ashley's hogging the snack bar. Come get your girl."
'Oh god. Please don't be in any trouble.'
------------N-------A-------L-------U------------
"Ashley-san, don't you think you had enough?" A green-haired girl asked the blonde who was hogging all the egg-based food on the table. She has a full bottle in one of her hands and an omelet in her other hand.
"...Who are you? Are you here to take my omelet? Cause you can't have it! I'm saving it for my dragon!"
"Um, no? I'm Brandish. I go to the same school as you." The green-haired girl said nervously.
Lucy stared suspiciously at the new girl, causing her to fidget. Suddenly she felt a hand in her hair.
"You have such pretty haaaaair!" Lucy said, softly caressing Brandish's hair.
"Thank you?"
"Do I have pretty hair?" She suddenly asked, self consciously touching her blonde hair. "Touch it! Touch it!"
Brandish blushed while touching Lucy's hair. She was so close to the blonde now she could smell her shampoo. She discreetly tried to take a sniff.
"Natsu, come get your girl. She's flirting with everyone." A female voice called out, and Brandish quickly back away before there was any misunderstanding. She looked over Lucy's shoulder to see Natsu coming towards them. "Hey, Lucy. Having fun?"
"Natsuuuuu!" Lucy yelled excitedly, seeing her boyfriend. She quickly left Brandish's side and jumped towards Natsu. "Do I have pretty hair? Everyone has pretty hair here! I want pretty hair toooo!"
"Don't worry Lucy, you have really pretty hair." He said with a fond smile before looking at Brandish nervously. "Thanks for not getting her into trouble."
"No problem Dragneel-san." She said, equally nervous. Ever since that night with him and Mari she was nervous to talk to him. It was pretty obvious she didn't have any interest in him and was actually there for Mari. But now she regrets that night.
"Natsu! Natsu! Look! I got you an omelet!" Lucy said suddenly.
"That's great Lucy. Why don't we-"
"Here, say ah..." She said, moving the omelet to his face. Brandish blushed at the seemingly innocent action, quickly excusing herself.
'What are you doing Randi! This is not like you! You like Mari, not Lucy. Besides she's taken.' She looked at the couple before shaking her head, abandoning that train of thought. But one single thought still didn't leave her.
'I wish I met you before I met Mari, Lucy.'
------------N-------A-------L-------U------------
'Dammit! Why is she so cute?!' Natsu thought, looking at the blonde in his arms. He knew that they were the center of attention right now. Sure, they all were acting like he and his girlfriend's not there, but he could also see some secretly try to take out their phones.
But he couldn't just leave her hanging. Already her hopeful expression was fading, and her eyes were glazing over with tears.
'Ah, screw it.’ He took the omelet into his mouth, not paying attention to all the cooing and whooping.
"Do I get a reward?" Lucy asked suddenly.
"Reward?"
"Yeah, for getting you the best omelet!"
'It is a pretty good omelet' "Sure, what do you want?"
"I want you to make me purr!"
Nasi choked on the omelet he was chewing, and he could hear everyone around him laughing.
"Yeah, Natsu! Make her purr!" Some guy yelled out from the crowd. Lucy stuck her head out to him like a cat, a blissful smile on her face.
"Um, Lucy, I don't think that's a good idea." He said nervously. Natsu almost took the words back when tears started filling Lucy's eyes again.
"You don't want to make me purr? You don't even love me enough to make me purr?"
"Hey Ashley! If he don't want to do then I'll gladly volunteer."
Lucy seriously seems to consider this, so Natsu held her close to him and glared at the jerk who made that comment. He suddenly tensed when Lucy stuck her nose in his neck and sniffed.
"Lucy? Why don't we move somewhere else?" Lucy whined at that moving her hand around his neck in protest. "Okay, how about this? If we move somewhere else I'll do whatever you want me to do to you."
"Really? Even purr?" She asked, suddenly excited.
"Sure Lucy," Natsu blushed, but he moved his head closer to her ear and whispered. "I'll make you purr all night if you want."
He could hear catcalls all around him, but he gave it no mind, only to the girl in his arms.
"Okay!"
Back in the present
"Oh no! I can't believe I did that!" Lucy covered her face in embarrassment. She heard Natsu chuckle at her.
"There's something else you need to know too." He said suddenly, and Lucy looked up to see Natsu looking very nervous. "Something else happened at the party."
"What is it?" She asked, not liking how fidgety Natsu was being.
"Well, after I got you away from the kitchen, you wanted to go to the bathroom..."
Back at the party
"There you are hot stuff." Natsu turned around, seeing Dimaria there. He had finally gotten Lucy to leave the kitchen when she demanded him to give her a piggyback ride to the toilet. Now he was standing in front of the toilet door while a line of girls, waiting for their turn.
"Dimaria, hey. We were just going to leave." He said, figuring she wants to freshen up a bit. But Dimaria wasn't here for that.
"Oh, come on. You can't go before all the fun starts!"
"I think I have my fill of fun for today." He chuckled. The whole Internet might have seen Lucy the Kitty already, and he couldn't wait for her to be sober. While Kitty Lucy was fun, he preferred his girlfriend to that flirt.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice when Dimaria moved closer. "Well, I still need mine."
It only took a second. One second and suddenly, Dimaria had her lips on his. The door opened behind him, and he heard a gasp. One second was all it took him to understand what happened, and he quickly pushed Dimaria away, turning around to explain what just happened to Lucy.
But the door closes before he could even see a glimpse of her, and Natsu felt dread in his heart.
"Lucy! Lucy please come out! Let me explain." He said, banging on the door. He was just about to beg on his knees, not hearing any sounds from the other side of the room when Dimaria decided to give her comment.
"Don't you think you're overreacting a little, Natsu. It was just a little fun."
Natsu glared at her, ready to rip her a new one when the door opened. He turned to see Lucy glaring at Dimaria, holding a bucket.
"Lucy...?"
She threw the bucket right at Dimaria, covering her in something really smelly.
"That's what you get for trying to steal someone else's boyfriend, you stinky stank!" Lucy yelled loud enough for everyone to hear. Then, before Natsu even know what was happening, she pulled him by his hoodie, kissing him passionately in front of everyone.
Natsu let out a surprised squeak at her aggression but quickly fell into the kiss, more than happy he didn't screw up.
When she finally let him go, they were both breathing hard.
"Lucy, what-?"
"Had to make my claim." She said before pulling into a much softer kiss. But before he could let him himself go, Dimaria suddenly shrieked.
"You bitch! What the hell did you just throw at me!"
Natsu was more than ready to step in, but Lucy's hand on his chest stopped him. He looked down to see Lucy looking at Dimaria with cold, narrowed eyes.
"Don't you think you're overreacting a little. It was just a little fun."
'Oh my god. My girlfriend isn't just a drunk flirt. She's a drunk flirting savage!'
Lucy turned back to Natsu, not giving any notice to the enraged girl.
"Natsu, I want to go home."
------------N-------A-------L-------U------------
"... And then I got you back to your home. You didnt want Mr to leave and I didnt want you to be alone do I stayed here too." Natsu finished. He looked really worried by the end of it, but Lucy was looking down at her sheets.
She was still wearing the onesie from last night. It was warm and comfortable, but for some reason, she wanted to throw it away. She didn't remember anything from yesterday. And to know that something like this happened...
"Natsu?"
"Yeah?"
"Why did you tell me about that?"
"Because I want you to know it from me before anyone else." He said, moving to sit closer to her. "Lucy, I know what you're feeling but let me tell you right now. There is nothing between me and her. I love being your boyfriend. And I don't want it to end because of something like this."
He moved to his head to catch her eyes, but she looked away. She felt like a heavy weight in her throat that she couldn't get rid of. Tears suddenly filled her eyes as she kept thinking about it.
"I don't like what I'm feeling." She whispered out loud.
"I know, baby. I know." He said, bringing her closer to him. She let him, feeling his arms embrace her from behind.
"She's really pretty." She said suddenly. Lucy didn't even know why she said that. But Natsu seems to know why.
"She is. But you're even prettier."
Lucy wondered if she should feel sad that Natsu said Diamaria is pretty. But he said it as if it was a fact. Dimaria is pretty.
But for Natsu, Lucy was prettier. That is also a fact for him.
Lucy turned towards him and hid her face in his chest. She moved her arms around him, hugging him back.
"Lucy, I want you to know, I will never cheat on you. Believe me, please?" Lucy looked up to his eyes earnestly looking down at her. She couldn't help but believe in him.
"Okay." He beamed at her, and she couldn't help but smile back at him. She practically melted when he pulled her closer to him and kissed her temple. She could stay here forever.
"So, I made a promise yesterday." Natsu said suddenly, causing Lucy to look up at him.
"What?" Her confusion seems to amuse him, and slowly a devilish grin started forming on his face. Her confusion, however, quickly changed to mortification at his next words.
"I did promise to make you purr."
Before Lucy could even protest, Natsu got her under him, and his hands went to her sides, tickling her. Loud laughter filled the room, and Lucy wasn't sure if she should be feeling relieved or tortured.
"Huh? Why isn't this kitty purring?" Natsu asked with a grin as Lucy tried to get away from his hands.
"N-Natsu! This is n-not what I meant! Hahaha!"
Suddenly the tickling stopped, and Natsu's face was too close to Lucy's.
"Oh, so you wanted something dirty? Such a naughty kitty you are." He teased, causing her to blush. "That means you need some punishment."
Lucy's phone suddenly went of saving her from any more embarrassment. She quickly took the close, not even looking at the caller.
"H-hello?"
"Lucy-san? I need help."
I'll be honest with you people. I have no idea where this story is going. The characters have got their own lives and I'm just writing as it comes.
Hopefully, they'll have more to say soon. Bye!
