Asking you out
Natsu Dragneel
You decided on the under-boob tattoo you wanted and it was 3 flowers with leaves spread out across it and you knew how much it was going to cost you granted he gave you a discount even though you insisted on paying full not wanting him to think you were taking advantage. He was not having it and once he made up his mind it was like a steel trap and his decision was not to be swayed.
"Are you absolutely positive that I don't have to give you the rest of the money?" He frowned deeply at you plucking you on the nose causing an undignified squeak to slip past your lips.
"I said it before and I will say it until you get it through your thick skull: no." With that said he got ready as you opened up your button up shirt with your pasties on and you've never felt so exposed in your life before, it was a level of intimacy you didn't expect but Natsu was adamant that it had to be him and not someone else. He came back interrupting your musings as he had all the needed tools. "I have one question before I start." You tilted your head but he refused to look you in the eyes hiding his face with his pink bangs
"Go ahead, don't be worried." You tried to smile reassuringly but couldn't ignore the nervousness settling in the pit of your stomach
"...Would you like to go on a date? As my girlfriend not a friend?" He was grimacing and looked away not noticing your cheeks nor the smile only registering your silence as rejection "Oh fuck I made it awkward, I should have just kept-" You cut him off with a hand to his cheek forcing him to look at you
"Don't be so quick to jump the gun, I would love to go on a date with you." His eyes widen in disbelief before he broke out in a grin nuzzling your hair affectionately. Nothing more was said as you both fell into a comfortable silence
Gray Fullbuster
You finally had a day off from that hell hole you call work but Gray still had a half an hour left so you chose to drive home and drop off your bags and then drive back waiting for him to come out so you guys can go grab some food to eat. You didn't have to wait too long once you got back to the parking lot when you looked up and saw him trotting up to his car not taking notice of you. You honked the horn to get his attention, he looked up and you waved at him as you got out the car. You walked towards each other a gentle smile on your face as he had his signature smirk gracing his lips.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you, but what you're doing here?" He seemed to forgot what day it was so you tilted your head at him
"It's Friday we spend our Friday's together out to eat, or are you tired? We can always do it next week if you want." You tried to hide the dejected tone from your voice but you believed that you failed miserably.
"No no! It's totally fine let me put my stuff in my car and we can go to that restaurant you've been dying to go too." You were thrilled at his sudden exuberance and felt your heart palpitate but you chose not to get your hopes up high. You both chatted making your way to the restaurant; it was a cozy atmosphere and very welcoming something you didn't expect but you were pleasantly surprised and welcomed the warmness it brought into your embrace. Gray gave you a fond look loving the peaceful expression you had. You guys were sat at a table in a corner giving you semi privacy and your orders were taken. Once the waiter left you were left alone so you turned to start a conversation but he was staring at you so hard that you felt the blush go all the way up to your ears. "Y/N...I want to ask you something important." You gulped and blushed more as he gripped your hand and he relaxed a bit when you gripped him back. "You can say no and I'll leave...but would you go out with me?" You blinked not believing your ears but you did not hesitate with your answer
"Of course." He let out a breath of relief gripping your hand one more time before pulling back allowing the waiter to place your food on the table.
Sting Eucliffe
There was no way out of this hole that you have digged yourself in. The crush you have on Sting is no longer a crush and you're craving his presence, his touch, his voice, his smell and just seeing those ocean blue eyes and his shining smile can bring you happiness in your lack of love life. Honestly you're not escaping it, he reeled you in and you do not want to be thrown back out in the open for someone else to grab it. You could only pray that your feelings are recuperated and if they weren't? He needed to find someone else to give him therapy and quick. You looked up hearing a knock and pleasantly surprised to see the man who has plagued your thoughts.
"What's on your mind Y/N? You seem like you've been sitting there doing nothing but thinking." Well he wasn't wrong but you couldn't outright expose yourself and embarrass yourself so you chose a white lie.
"Well someone has been on my mind but I really shouldn't give it as much thought as I should." You glanced up at him and he had a weird look on his face and he was a bit stiff but after you fully turned to him the look on his face disappeared and was replaced with his usual grin leaning in a bit towards you.
"So who's the lucky guy? I guarantee he would love you." You swallowed harder than you intended and the butterflies in your stomach kicked up in speed
"You really think so? Even if I told him right now, he wouldn't be repulsed?" You don't know when you two got closer but somehow he was sitting directly next to you, his arm resting on your left armrest.
"I know for a fact that I wouldn't" It should have upset you that you were this transparent but at least you didn't have to outright admit it. You let a shy smile grace your lips but didn't let your eyes leave his "So what do you say we go on a real date? Where I can finally call you mine?" His voice was light and sincere, who can deny that?
"When and where babe?"
Rogue Cheney
You haven't seen Rogue in a couple of weeks and he has apologized over texts and phone calls about his absence and it was nothing to worry about. You worked as a nurse you understood that sometimes things happen, you're both adults not teens or children with a bunch of free time all the time. You appreciated his care and worry and you were beginning to think that his absence will help you to reign in your feelings for him a bit. Not surprisingly though it did the opposite making you crave him more, you wanted to see his rusty colored eyes, his jet black hair, inhale his cologne mixed with his natural scent and watch as his eyes lit up about topics he likes and his lips be graced with a light smile. "I am fucking screwed" You were by yourself clocking out for the day and was glad no one heard you talking to yourself. You scurried your way out of there in need of some food and wanting to go home and shower the whole day off.
"Surprise, surprise." You turned at the familiar amused voice and to your delight Rogue was there standing behind you his sleeves rolled up, blazer slung over his shoulder. He too had just got off of work
"Rogue?! I wasn't expecting you to be here." You went up to him giving him a hug noticing how his arm lingered on you longer than usual but you didn't focus too much on it.
"I finally caught a break and was wondering if you want to get some food? I'm starving and I know for a fact that you didn't eat." As if on cue your stomach growled and you blushed punching him lightly in the chest when he smirked at you. "Now that that's settled let's go." He grabbed your hand guiding you to the diner or restaurant your heart hammering, your brain registering how soft his hands were. You didn't let go of him, it felt so natural and comforting. Your brain also couldn't process that he was talking so much; he never talked a lot unless he was angry or nervous. You assumed it was the latter
"Why you're so nervous Rogue? You're never this nervous, did I do something?" Your stomach churned at the thought of upsetting him, but was surprised when he whirled on you with a quickness that caught you off guard.
"You can never do anything." He stood quiet and you didn't interrupt him as he gave a big sigh "I just don't want you to say no or ruin our friendship." Your head tilted egging him on even though you had a good idea as to what he was going to ask. "I want you to be my girlfriend but I-" You interrupted him by poking his nose
"Of course I will, no need to be so worried even though pink suits you." You giggled as he cleared his throat trying to hide his face; without another word he turned and tugged your hand to walk beside him
"...Thank you." You just smiled enjoying the silence that fell on the two of you.
Gajeel Redfox
Gajeel was acting a bit weird and it threw you in a bit of a worry loop. You really really liked him, more than the friendship you guys had was supposed to go. You'll be damned to cross those boundaries and the way he was trying to subtly not be near you or talk to you was beginning to upset you. You had came in and said good morning to him per usual and he mumbled one back so you figured he was just a bit grumpy today so you let him be for a bit. When you came back to him after your first client you went to him touching his arm and he flinched looking up at you before looking back down not wanting to look you in the eyes. This was very concerning for you and you tried to give him some space but you caught your eyes wondering back to him. Every time you looked up he was already looking at you and then he will look away pretending to look at something else. You had to know so on your break that you both shared you followed him to his own private office area thing in the back tapping him on his back to get his attention. He turned and his eyes widen in surprise when he saw that it was you and he tried to back up but you gripped his arm not wanting him to get away this time.
"What's wrong? What did I do? You have been avoiding me like I have the plague all day! Now tell me what is wrong! I can't fix it if I don't even know what I did." He stood quiet for a minute before mumbling unintelligibly "What did you say Gajee?" He cleared his throat looking at you this time
"You never did anything wrong." Honestly you had an overwhelming urge to slap him silly but resisted. "It's just...well...I like you more than a friend and I want you as my girlfriend." Now you didn't resist the urge and slapped his chest.
"You're a giant idiot you know that." He seemed to have shrunk under your gaze but was surprised when you hugged him snuggling into his chest "Of course I'll be your girlfriend you iron rod." He seemed to have froze before gently wrapping his arms around you squeezing you in return.
Laxus Dreyer
There were either two things you had to do and neither was that appealing to you but it had to happen. Admit to your captain aka Laxus that you want to date him and you have liked him on a more intimate level than was professionally acceptable and hide your possible relationship; or you can switch your job and work somewhere else if he does like you back so no suspicion will arise or if he doesn't recuperate the feelings you can avoid the awkwardness and move on. You grimaced openly at your thoughts but something was going to happen because you couldn't keep on pretending that you didn't have feelings. You tried to get rid of them but it never worked, the feelings just intensified so you were in a catch 22.
"Lieutenant L/N did you hear me?" You suppressed the urge to jump opting to gulp audibly and look up to see Captain Dreyar staring down at you awaiting for your response.
"No I didn't Captain, may you repeat yourself please?" You felt nervous and his overwhelming presence made you want to sink into the seat and disappear into the brown leather becoming one with the chair but this was real life and you had to face the raging bull.
"I said once those files are completed I want them on my desk. Do not keep me waiting." You wanted to roll your eyes but he was your boss so you nodded turning in your chair and doing as you're supposed to do. Once your work was completed you filed them appropriately and stapled them together making your way to his office. You knocked and entered upon a gruff 'enter' and closed the blinds as he always desired privacy.
"The files you wanted are completed Laxus." You gave him a little smirk and you felt it wavering when he stood up and walked over to you invading your personal space that you can feel his chest on you and smell his Giorgio Armani cologne permeating your senses. "L-Laxus?" Damn your voice for stuttering
"I want to go on a date with you on Friday, I'll pick you up by your home at 9 pm" He stared down at you and you decided to toy with him a bit
"Are you asking me out Laxus?" He grumbled and honestly seeing the brute all flustered tugging at his color was making you more than giddy
"Yes I am, do you accept?" You hummed running your hands up his chest before resting them on his cheeks
"Of course I do." You let go of his cheeks and turned on your heels exiting his office opening up the blinds excited for Friday and not believing your luck in the slightest.
Jellal Fernandes
You were fairly certain that Jellal had a liking to you that was more than platonic and you are a liar if you were to deny your non platonic feelings for him as well. It was Friday and you have never been so excited for a date in your whole life than you were today. You had a pep in your step and your students noticed it questioning you but you just told them it's Friday and who isn't excited about a Friday. They kept trying but with a sharp tone and hard look silence fell across the classroom and they no longer tried to pry into your personal life. The day went by smoothly and even though you didn't see Jellal during your lunch break you weren't phased in the slightest knowing you were going to see him later on in the evening. You ushered your kids out once the bell rang so you can gather your stuff and leave about 20 minutes behind them. You didn't grab anything to eat not wanting to spoil your appetite as you happily made your way home. Once home you began the process of getting ready for your date, at least you pray to Jesus it was or you were going to kick Jellal so hard you'll turn him into a female for playing with your feelings. By the time you applied the lip stick and mascara it was time for you to wait for him. You jumped when you heard a door slam and moments later your doorbell ring. You had on an casual flowy dress hoping it wasn't too much. When you opened the door you were more than happy to see Jellal in pressed khaki's and a plain black t-shirt. You didn't focus on his physique instead focusing on his face which was quite red
"Hey...you look so gorgeous." You giggled bashfully grabbing his offered arm
"You don't look bad yourself." He just huffed a little guiding you to the car. You guys made idle chat to the restaurant and once there he parked, opening the door for you and guiding you with his arm to the entrance and asking for a table for two. Once you two were sat down with your ordered food you fell into easy conversation. It was light hearted and warm more than once your hands grazing each other but neither of you cared to pull away. When the food arrived you both dug in "Oh my God this is so good."
"I know something that's even better." You looked up to see him staring at you softly and you felt like you were the center of attention, the center of his attention "You know...besides the food and seeing your beautiful face there was something I wanted to ask you..." He had your full attention unable to stop the jittery feeling coursing through you. "I...I wanted to know if you would like to date me officially, be my girlfriend?" He squeezed your hand gently and went to pull away but you grabbed it bringing it to your face leaning on it.
"I thought you would never ask." He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, pulling your hands to his lips as he softly grazed your hand with his lips before letting go. The rest of the evening was warm, safe and beautiful.
