Fairy Tail - In Our World [Natsu x Reader]

Chapter 4: An Evil Waitress and Too Many Questions

        It was around noon, and the restaurant was busy. Natsu and Lucy were waiting at the place where you wait to be seated. A pretty girl who looked a couple years older than you walked up to your group, smiling brightly. "How many seats will you be needing?" Her smile seems to fade ever so slightly when she looks at your clothes. Her gaze travels from Lucy's crop top, torn in a few places; Natsu's baggy pants and open vest, and finally your black leather jacket with dark jeans and a (f/c) T-shirt. The knees of your jeans were mud and grass stained, and your leather jacket was dirty. Your hair was pinned up in a loose messy bun, pieces sticking out every-which-way. (Or: Your short hair was messy, looking like you had just woken up. After all, it wasn't like you had a hair brush.)

But the girl's uncertain smile faded almost as soon as it had appeared. You weren't even completely sure it was there to begin with. "No... It's just us. I'm eighteen," You lied. Even though you were sixteen, you could easily pass as eighteen.

"Alright then! Right this way and I'll get you some seats!" She exclaimed cheerfully, but you felt as if something was off.

Does she know who we are? I knew we shouldn't have come here...

You reluctantly followed behind the girl as she led you to a corner table that seated four. It seemed as if it was removed from the other tables, being alone. Maybe that was just because it was in the corner.

I'm sure I'm just being paranoid. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? I just hope Lucy and Natsu know manners...

You pull out a chair and sit down. Lucy sits in front of you, and Natsu was beside Lucy. Happy was... You quickly cover your mouth with your hand to muffle your surprised yelp. Happy was hidden inside your jacket, making it look like you were pregnant had a basket ball under your jacket. Although not quite as visible as that.

"It was the only way! Can you order some fish for me?" Happy asks, peering out from your half-way zipped jacket. "Yeah, whatever. Just give me a warning next time," You mumble. You look up at Natsu and Lucy. Lucy was laughing at something Natsu had said. "We need to get outta here, before-"You whispered, only to be interrupted when the same waitress came up to your table. "What would you like to drink?" She asks, still smiling. You could see it though. The smile didn't reach her eyes. She knew that you knew that something was off.

Does she know that I'm the girl that was kidnapped? I guess I'll just play along with this act for now... But it's not going to work... I need to think of a Plan B.

"I'll have a (F/d) please," You say. The waitress scribbles down your drink on a small notepad. She then averts her gaze to Lucy, who orders plain water. Finally she looks at Natsu. You watch her eyes drink in his appearance; from his open vest, which revealed his abs; all the way to his face. "And what'll it be for you, sir?" She asks him, blushing. You make a face at Lucy. The waitress see's your face, and blushes even harder. Lucy giggles, covering her mouth with her hand. "Do you have any fire?" Natsu asks, completely oblivious to the situation.

Lucy face palms, and the waitress seems taken aback. You weren't really sure what to think. The girl quickly recovers, and smiles a fake smile again.

What is it with that smile? She knows something... and we're sitting ducks here. We have to get out of here before it's too late.

"I can go check to see if we have any. I'll be right back," She says, winking at Natsu before turning around and quickly walking away.

"Natsu, you can't go asking for fire here! You don't honestly think they would have any here!" Lucy goes on, scolding Natsu. Natsu argues back, saying stuff like, "How was I supposed to know?" and "It's too late now!"
