NaLu: The Story Of Us

▷▶Chapter 40◀◁

-timeskip, Tuesday-

~Erza's P. O. V. ~

I sigh as the bell rings and I leave the class lethargically. It's my birthday today and so far none of my friends have remembered.

Time to go home.

Oh yeah, I have that date with Jellal.

Oh well better than nothing.

I walked out of the school and bumped into Jellal. "Y-yo Erza, let's go on our date. You're in for the sleep over at my house right?" He muttered. I tilted my head. He's rarely flustered. "Uh, it's something going on?" I asked, blushing a lot myself.

Hold a second. Sleep over? But there's school tomorrow.

"Y-yeah but we would go to school together." Jellal quickly yanked open the car door and hustled me in.

Oops. I thought out loud.

-time skip, two hours later-

~Lucy's P. O. V. ~

"Natsuu~~stop eating and come here to help! Erza will kill you!" I whined as I tiptoed on the unstable chair. I knew we should have gone shopping yesterday instead of today. Now we were rushing and they could be back anytime.

And this chair is so rickety. I knew I should have let Natsu do this part of the ceiling. This was the highest part of the sloping ceiling and I was having a hard time hanging a dang balloon from it.

~Levy and Gajeel's P. O. V. ~

I think we're gonna see a deja vu. That chair looks unsteady/unstable as f***.

~Lucy's P. O. V. ~

Goddamned this chair. It kept teetering when I was trying to tie the damn balloon to the streamer. "Careful, bunny girl." I could hear Gajeel snicker as I squealed again from the weird chair. "Lu-chan, stop fidgeting, the chair is gonna topple over." Levy called.

I pressed my lips together and tiptoes again. I released my hands from the shelves I had been holding on for support and reached as high as I could to wind the string around the balloon.

Shit happened.

The chair tipped and went sideways, dragging me along with it. I squealed as I fell face first and shut my eyes, clutching the balloon tightly, waiting for the impact of the fall......

~Natsu's P. O. V. ~

I stuffed my face with another slice of cake. This was just my second slice don't get me wrong. But damn this was heavenly. The whipped cream melted nicely and I'm pretty sure my mouth was coated with whipped cream and sugar. As I reached to take another slice, I heard a sharp squeal. I turned quickly to see who it was.

Then I saw Lucy clutching a balloon and falling face first to the ground.

My heart did a leap as I ran to catch her, and she slammed on top of me, balloon in tow.

~Lucy's P. O. V. ~

......but the impact never came. Well it kind of did but this surface was softer than the ground, although still hard and chiseled. I opened my eyes slowly and found myself centimeters from Natsu's face.

I ignored the sniggers from the background and Gray's indignant shouts and staggered to get up, but the balloon popped in between us, so I fell forward even more and my lips landed on his. More like, I landed on lips covered with sugar and whipped cream. I sat up, straddling him and embarrassed. Then I licked my lips.

The whipped cream and sugar tasted like heaven.

I leaned back down and licked the remaining from his lips. Natsu held my face and pulled me even closer, and when I opened my mouth to protest, he slipped his tongue in.
