NaLu AU story

It’s lunch time at Magnolia high where most of the students assemble in the cafeteria. Lucy is hanging out with her friend Levy waiting for the rest of the group to show up and as they wait, the blonde scribbles in her notebook…

Levy taps her friends shoulder, “So, are you ever gonna tell him how you really feel?”

“But look at him,” Lucy glances over at the high school quarterback currently surrounded by the cheerleading squad. “Mr. Popular over there, I can’t compete with those girls.”

“What are you talking about, you guys are already close.”

“Yeah, but he’s also never asked me out,” sigh, “he probably just sees me like a sister.”

“You don’t cuddle with your sister.”

The blonde blushes, “How do you know we’ve done that?”

Levy giggles, “Gray told me, cause Natsu told him.”

“W-well it was a fluke, he got drunk after the homecoming game, I just helped him home, and sat with him till he fell asleep on his couch, that’s all.”

“Yeah, Lu, I was at that party remember, he was drunk, the head cheerleader was trying to get him to go home with her, but he ignored her and staggered over to you instead...”

“B-because he’s comfortable with me Levy, he knows I’ll just take care of him.”

“…and according to Gray, Natsu said he had you snuggled in his lap, his face all up in your hair cause he likes your scent.” Sigh, “Lucy you should just try and flirt with him, see what he does cause I think he might like you.”

Lucy flashes back to that night, apparently Natsu forgot or left out the part of his hand glued to her thigh and the sloppy kisses he was trying to place on her neck. But the next morning he had acted like nothing happened and she broken heartedly chalked it up to the booze.

She shakes her head more to erase the images than emphasize her resolve, “No thank you, he could’a just been doing that cause he was drunk and I’d rather not ruin our friendship if he doesn’t feel the same way…”

A couple weeks later on a Saturday afternoon, Natsu drops by Lucy’s house for their study date. English has been giving him trouble and the young girl offered to help him study for the upcoming test. Virgo, the maid lets him in saying Lucy should be in her room and to just go on up since he knows the way.

When he reaches her bedroom, he notices the door is slightly ajar and peeks in slowly; Lucy’s asleep. As the jokester that he is, he creeps in with plans to scare her, how dare she take a nap when she’s supposed to be ready to tutor him!

But when he walks by her desk he sees her note book open and something catches his eye. Scribbles along the margins, nothing out of the ordinary for a teenager, a couple stick figures, random squiggly lines or other doodles, and then a heart around two initials ‘L & N’.

‘Who the hell does ‘N’ stand for?’ Surely, it’s not him, right? Lucy’s never behaved like she had a crush on him, even after homecoming and the brief make-out session, she acted like nothing happened, so he thought maybe it really didn’t happen and it had been an alcohol induced dream.

So, who else could it be?

A small wave of anger erupts at just the idea she’d end up with another guy that’s not him. His head tips up slightly as he runs names through his head, with plans to tell that person off, anyone he can think of that she might know, yet curiously no one with a name that starts with an ‘N’ comes to mind.

That starts to relax him a little, ‘maybe it’s a character from an anime or something…’ But now his curiosity or maybe ego demands he keeps looking. Turning through the pages he finds more. More hearts and initials in different sizes, colors, sometimes in capitals others lowercase, ‘Gah! What is this guy’s name?!’

Finally, at almost the last pages he hits pay dirt. There it is, the confirmation he had been secretly hoping to find, ‘Lucy & Natsu’, ‘Lucy loves Natsu’. His pulse quickens with excitement, not only did his crush like him too but she’s fantasizing about the future! ‘Lucy Dragneel’, ‘Lucy Heartfillia Dragneel, Mrs. Natsu Dragneel <3 <3 <3’

Pumping a fist in the air, he’s become so engrossed in looking through the note book that he doesn’t realize she’s waking up until he hears the gasp. “Oh my god, what are you doing?!”

Immediately, his body stiffens and turns to see a crimson faced girl, his lips part, “Um…” but the shade of color on her face is steadily growing darker, if that’s even possible when she realizes he’s just as flushed as she is.

A squeak escapes the blonde, as she flips her blanket over her, trying to hide from him.

“Lucy?”

“Lucy’s not here, she’s going to go die now from embarrassment.”

Natsu blinks a couple of times at the adorable reaction. Sure, he’s just as nervous but the way she’s acting only make her more endearing to him. He shakes his head, chuckling, and makes his way to the bed, the mattress shifting as he sits down beside her. “Lucy, you are so weird,” he pulls the blanket off her, but she simply brings her knees up and buries her head in her arms to avoid his gaze. “Luce?”

“Natsu, please just go away, I-If you don’t feel…”

Another squeal, as he pulls her into his lap like he did that night of homecoming, “I wanna show you something Luce.” He takes out his wallet and inside, tucked into the money section he pulls out a small photo, her eyes widening further when she sees it’s a picture of them from middle school with a heart drawn around her face and the caption, ‘my dream girl’ written at the bottom. “I was trying to muster up the courage to ask you out, just was worried you’d reject me.”

“I didn’t think you saw me like that,” She continues to stare at the picture, “y-you’re always surrounded by other girls and I’m not as popular as you…”

“Lucy I’m only popular cause of football, those girls never gave me the time of day till I became the quarterback...” tipping her chin to look at her face, “you know that.”

“Maybe…”

“Maybe?” he chuckles, “you’ve been by my side since before all that happened, why would I choose one of them over you?”

“I thought you’d prefer a prettier girl on your arm…”

He starts laughing, the arms around her waist tightening, “But, I’ve already got one.”

“But that night after the game… Natsu, the next day you acted like there was nothing between us and I assumed…”

“You acted like normal that morning Luce, so I thought I’d dreamt the whole thing…”

“What!” elbowing him in the gut, “Natsu why didn’t you say something instead of making me all crazy!”

But that outburst only makes him laugh harder, “I’m sorry Luce, how can I make it up to you?”

Exhale, “Holding me like this is a start.”

“Oh…” Natsu nuzzles her hair, “Anything else?”

“Err…” she bites her lip, “I don’t know, you think of something.”

“Hmm,” moving her hair away from her neck, “how about this…” he sweeps his lips against her skin, then presses them gently to the crook.

A wispy sigh, breathes out of the blonde, “that works…”

He smiles and places more velvety kisses along her neck and shoulder. “Definitely, much better than the fantasy…” One of her hands snakes into his hair, fingers twining their way into the locks. “So, does this mean I get to show you off at school now… as my girlfriend?”

She giggles, “Mmmhmm,” the squad’s gonna be so pissed.”

“Let ‘um,” maneuvering her onto her back, he caresses her cheek and kisses her lips, “You’re the only cheering section I need…”
