Eight Members (A NaLu, GrUvia, JeRza, GaLe Fanfic) [COMPLETED]

Ch. 30: Loki Courts Lucy

{Jellal’s POV}

I facepalmed. The other day, I didn’t know why I was grinning like an idiot. Never mind that. At least now, the issue was over. The bad news was it reached 50 million tweets in twitter. Yes, it was that popular. Worldwide.

Today, we had nothing to do. It was a bright, sunny Sunday morning. There was no schedule lined up for us. We could do what we wanted for a few days. There was no offer for our new album yet. We had to wait for a month, I guess. So we’d all be idle for awhile.

Levy yawned, looking up from her book. “Do you guys want a picnic?” she asked suddenly. “It’s getting boring in here, you know?”

“I dunno. I’m not bored. I’m only playing video games all day. It’s not boring. You should try one.” Natsu shrugged, grinning.

Lucy rolled her eyes. Mood swings. “Of course. Yeah, right.” she said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. It was true, though. You’d always see Natsu playing video games every single day. Sometimes, he’ll stay up all night just to finish a level or skip a meal. He’s even holding a game controller right now. He’s addicted. “Let’s go and leave Natsu here.” she added, irritated. Why was she pissed?

“Hey! I didn’t say I wasn’t going!” Natsu protested, pouting. “I want to eat various kinds of food.” Natsu’s eyes glistened at the thought of food. As always. Lucy just ignored him and told us she was going upstairs to change her clothes.

“What about you, Erza, Juvia, Gajeel, Gray, and Jellal?” Levy eyed each one of us. She looked like it was all right if we rejected her. But I know we’d all agree. I mean, we’re all bored here.

“Yeah, whatever.” Juvia replied like she didn’t care about anything in the world. The rest of us agreed, and everything was settled.

Erza came up to me. “I have something to tell you later in the van. Hurry up and change your clothes, okay?” I stared at her, bewildered. What was she going to tell me? Why tell me in the van? And obviously, I was really curious now.

Once we have all settled in the van with Erza beside me, I opened a plastic of a hotdog on stick. I nudged her as a sign that she should tell it to me already, biting onto my food. Great. I was hungry since I skipped breakfast.

Natsu and the others were having the time of their lives, dancing onto the beat of a popular song. I shook my head, turning back to Erza. We were the only ones occupying the back seat.

“Oh, right,” she said, realizing that she should tell me something. She leaned closer to me, taking one last look at the gang and making sure they weren’t going to hear what she was about to say. “Let’s just say that we are going to be with ‘someone else’ once we reach the picnic grounds.” she whispered.

I raised an eyebrow at her. “What? Who?” I whispered back.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

“Is it someone we know?” I pushed.

“Shut up,” she hissed, glaring at me. She was afraid that the others might hear us. “This is a clue. It’s a guy, and he likes Lucy.” Huh? A guy who likes Lucy? I don’t know someone—oh. It’s Natsu. But.... Natsu is here. Maybe it’s someone else. I was about to ask Erza if it’s someone I know, but then I decided to shut up because she might kill me if I kept asking.

Sighing, I closed my eyes. It was nice to get some nap.

-*-*-*-*

“Wake up. We’re here.” I groaned as I felt Erza shake me. I slowly fluttered my eyes open, wiping the already dry saliva that was beside my lips. “Ew, get away from me!” Erza burst out, veraciously disgusted. I laughed as she was the first one who got out of the car.
