Chapter 5
“We’re here!” Natsu twisted his head to see if anybody was around him and saw a half-happy and half-sad Lisanna and a nervous Lucy. He gave them perplexed and amused looks. He thought that perhaps, Lucy was there to ask for his forgiveness or something. He liked that, well, needed rather. He was really pissed off about yesterday, but today he was completely shining with happiness.
About Lisanna, he wasn’t very happy about it. Actually, he was annoyed. He thought that maybe Lisanna was there to ask him what was wrong with her, or as to why he broke up with her. He wasn’t surprised—he was expecting it. Lisanna might be there to ask him to be his girlfriend again, and would promise to fix whatever her mistake was. In short, she might try to be the most perfect girlfriend for him.
Confidence almost drained out from her, Lucy strutted her way towards Natsu, who was raising eyebrows at her. Natsu didn't know that with his single reaction, Lucy became more nervous that any minute now, she's gonna run away with her tail between her legs. She chose this path, though, and she encouraged herself by telling her conscience that she wasn't born to back out from a plan and be a wimp.
"Hey, come with me for a sec." She demanded, pulling his arms. Lisanna watched this scene, and hesitated about her decision about letting Lucy making Natsu her boyfriend. She immediately dismissed her thoughts, thinking it was for her sake as well, and that she needn't worry about Lucy. The topic here was Lucy Heartfilia, for Pete's sake, and Lisanna knew that her dear friend can take care of herself well enough when something bad happens.
Natsu looked puzzled for a split second, but then nodded and smirked at Lucy's weird actions. This would be very entertaining. He thought. He almost wanted to laugh when Lucy stopped at a dark and hidden corner of their school. He was sure that nobody would ever see them there. Natsu being Natsu, his pervy thoughts were on.
He yanked his arms away from Lucy and smirked evilly. At first, he thought she was just going to "apologize" (though he knew it would never happen, but when she pulled him, all those negative thoughts were chased away in an instant.). It was an impossible, crazy, and maybe even wishful thinking. It became funny though, because Lucy pulled him to a creepy, super quiet and alley looking place. His expectations made him giddy and amused at the same time.
"Natsu..." she almost vomitted upon mentioning just his name. Her voice came out a bit raspy and shaky at the same time. Natsu, on the other hand, just tried to make his face look all serious and not expectant, instead of having a smug look on his face. He quirked an inquisitive eyebrow a minute later when Lucy never continued what she was about to say. Let's just say, she trailed off from being super jittery on the inside. Suddenly, she doesn't even know what she was about to say.
Natsu sighed, pretending to be exasperated, making Lucy eye him suspiciously. "Look, I'm here because you wanted to talk about something important. We're not here on this very eery corner of the school if it's not that important, are we? Oh, one more thing. I can't keep wasting my time on you. I have a lot of business to do." Natsu lied under his breath. He wasn't going to do anything important, actually. He was just making Lucy tell him on what was going on, and as to why she dragged him all the way to that corner. More like mock her. "We're not going to do anything malicious and unworthy here, right?" He received a slight punch on the shoulder from the now pissed Lucy.
He still has business going on? Hah. Lying. If it's business he's talking about, I'm sure it has something to do with girls. Not a thing to be surprised of. Lucy mulled. And how dare he, thinking about something dirty when here I am, all bothered on how I'm going to ask him to be my boyfriend even if I have rehearsed it in my room for about a hundred of times. I even have the script in my pocket right now! Well, I think it's to be foreseen. I mean, I had just hauled him to a place like this!
"Ehem." Lucy cleared her throat after a few minutes of uneasy silence. "I was actually going to ask you about something." Her beet-red face wasn't seen by Natsu, good for Lucy, or else Natsu's unholy thoughts might work again like a machine. He was a pervert, a big understatement.
Natsu frowned, seeing Lucy fidget under his long, hard stare. "Uh, this might be just my imagination or something, but I'm gonna make sure. Are you, perhaps, flustered and bashful right now?" He asked disbelievingly. He was a detective, for his sharp and keen observations. He couldn't believe it; he just nicknamed her as Fluttershy, and his name calling just came true for the first time. Too bad, though, he couldn't see her face with the little amount of light washing over them.
"IT'S JUST YOUR IMAGINATION, DUMBA**." Lucy acrimoniously and perversely blurted out. Natsu chuckled. His answer was on how Lucy talked. The blond heard his silent laugh, and became even more flustered, and at the same time, resentful.
“Lucy....” he purred, giving Lucy the shivers down to her spine. “Muster up the courage and tell me. Tell me what you need to say.” he let out an evil smirk, caressing Lucy’s cheeks. He was inching closer and closer to the blond. Lucy backed away, slapping him. She was totally disgusted. Natsu held his face in shock. ‘Deja vu’ were the only words that came into his mind.
“Oh, never mind! I’m never gonna talk to you again! You’re such a pervert!” she screamed before running away.
Natsu shook his head as he went back to his own ‘business’.
“Hey, what happened to you?” Lisanna lifted an eyebrow at Lucy, who was all messed up. Her hair was like a bird’s nest, and sweat was trickling down her forehead, making Lisanna assume: “D-Did the both of you do something.. something forbidden at this school?” Lisanna was shaking uncontrollably.
Lucy looked at Lisanna, confused. “What are you talking about?”
“You know.. what married couples do—”
“What!? No! Just how did that thought creep up in your head?”
Lisanna heaved a sigh of relief. “Good. What happened to you? You looked like you were in a marathon.”
Lucy looked down with an upset expression. “Lisanna.. I’m sorry. I don’t plan on continuing the plan anymore.”
Lisanna smiled, “It’s okay. Really. You’re a true friend, seeing that you want me safe and all....” she hugged Lucy.
The next day, Lucy’s life became normal again. No worries about anything.
Walking onto her next subject, she passed by Natsu. Suddenly, the pink haired boy smirked evilly (the kind of rapist smile, something like that.).
“Hey everyone! Listen up!” Natsu cheerfully exclaimed. The people turned to him with inquisitive looks. As always, he was quick to catch attention.
Lucy huffed and mumbled, “Attention seeker.”
“I have a new girlfriend. Would you like to know who she is?” the people started gossiping around. Normally, Natsu wouldn’t announce a silly thing like that. They thought that the girl was very special for him to announce such a thing. Lucy stared at him curiously, silently pitying his new girlfriend. “She’s Lucy Heartfilia!!”
“What?! That lesbian!?”
“Disgusting! How did she make Natsu her boyfriend?!”
“Maybe she begged him! Out of pity, Natsu agreed!”
“No! She seduced him! Maybe she gave him a love potion! She might be a witch!”
Lucy shook her head in sorrow and stared at the floor. “Lucy Heartfilia? That girl’s such a pity. She was being tricked.” she bolted up when she realized it was her and looked around. People’s voices were heard all around the school. “Wait a minute! That’d be me! Since when did he own me!? That jerk! I’m gonna teach him a lesson he’ll never forget – to never mess with me again.” she glared at Natsu who has now a snide smirk plastered on his face. A brilliant idea popped into her head. Grinning viciously, she walked towards him and clung onto Natsu’s arms. Natsu flinched.
“Hi there, my lovely boyfriend!” she said in a seductive and loud voice. She emphasized the word boyfriend. Natsu stopped abruptly to mesmerize at Lucy. She doesn’t know that I’m already melting at her voice. She’s really beautiful, she just doesn’t know how to fix herself and acts a lot like a boy. He considered, mesmerized and astonished.
“I thought he was kidding,” a girl fainted. Well, there’s no one to blame. For everyone, it was a shocker. Especially for Juvia and Wendy. They were too utterless about the matter. ‘Who would’ve thought that Lucy Heartfilia, a tomboy, would have a gorgeous boyfriend named Natsu Dragneel?’ were the words that most people thought.
Meanwhile, Lucy cackled up to no good. She decided that her plan would be resumed, and that she’ll explain everything later to her friends. Looks like I didn’t have to ask him. Luck’s on my side today.
Operation: Break His Heart resumed.
