{13} "A Grown Man's Got To Eat."

Already the third week of school. I managed to finish my self portrait draft and turned it in yesterday, Monday, but it looked pretty bad if I do say so myself. Ms. Evergreen accepted it anyways, so I'm cool with it.

The fall weather was finally kicking in, and the storms were rolling in one by one. There was a terrible storm overnight, and it continued on into the morning. We don't have classes today. There's likely going to be major floods today. Instead of going to class, our teachers send us assignments to do via email and we have to complete them.

Class,

This is Mr. Clive. As you hopefully know, we have flash flood warnings, so no classes today (yay). Your assignment is to write a two page essay about anything related to digestion in our unit about nutrition, what we will be studying first. You may use any resources available to you. Simple right? There's a catch. You must work with a partner, or else your grade goes down. I have my ways of telling if you did this crucial step or not (heehehe). Good luck. These will be due tomorrow.

*ding* I check my phone.

Cana: Partners?

"Partners?" The pinkette looks at me from his bed.

"Uh, hang on," I say and text Cana back.

Lucy: Sorry, already have a partner.

Cana: Who?

Lucy Heartfilia went offline

Cana: Hello?

Cana: Lucy?

"Sure," I reply to him. He smiles and gets out some loose binder paper. First off, why did I agree to that? Secondly, why did I choose him over Cana? And why did I feel warm on the inside when he smiled?

"Alright, Luce," he starts off. "Any ideas?"

"Well, we could-"

"No," he interrupts.

"Then how about-"

"Too boring."

"I didn't even get to finish my sentence," I protested.

"Yeah, I know. I just knew that it was going to be boring already ahead of time. Tell you what, lets have some fun." He smirks at his comment and stands up from his bed.

"EEW, WHAT?! YOU PERVERT, GET OUT!" I yell and throw my health binder at him.

He catches it with one hand. "I didn't mean that kind of fun! I but I mean, if you want to then I'm definitely able to grant you that wish of yo-"

"Nu uh! Zip!" I cut him off.

"I meant we go play a prank on old Gildarts." He picks a raincoat out from his drawer and slides it on. He puts his hand out to me sitting on the floor. "You coming or not?"

To be or not to be...

I take his hand and he pulls me up off the floor. I quickly snatch an umbrella as Natsu drags me out the door.

He pulls me down the hall and towards the doors of the building. "We're going to have to visit some places before we go to Gildart's classroom," he tells me, making a right.

It feels weird having Natsu lead me everywhere. His hand around my wrist, and him guiding me from place to place. Somehow, it feels right. Wait, what am I thinking?

"Are you going to let go of my hand?" I ask out of no where.

"Uh, oh yeah," he stutters, hesitating before letting go. It's as if he wanted to keep my wrist in his grasp. I shrug it off and continue following him down the twists and turns of the corridors.

He knocks on the door of someone's dorm. "Ay, Gajeel. Loke here?"

"Oi, Natsu. Yeah he's here. He's sort of... Busy though. If you know what I mean..."

I didn't get it.

"Ah, I get it man. When do you think he'll be done?" Natsu asks.

"I dunno. He just started." He leans on the door frame. I can't believe Levy has a thing for this guy. He's so... Tall. And Levy~chan is so... Not... tall.

"Oh, you think maybe, what, 10 minutes will be good?"

"Yeah," he replies. "See ya then." Gajeel shuts the door and Natsu starts walking away. I quickly follow him.

"So, what was that about?" I ask.

"Loke's doing the wink wank with someone right now," he explains.

"The... Wink... Wank... With- oh. Oh. OH. OH MY." My eyes widen and uncover my face with my long sleeves, embarrassed from just figuring that out.

Natsu chuckles. "He should be done in give or take ten minutes. I got some stuff for the prank on Gildart's to get from Loke."

"Like what?" I ask, sitting down on a bench in the hallway.

He sits down next to me. "Like an air horn for starters, probably lots of duct tape, either cling wrap or tin foil, aaaaand Goldfish."

"Goldfish?"

"Yeah. A grown man's got to eat." He laughs and I do too.

Natsu really isn't that bad when you get to know him. I mean, it's only been three weeks, but he's a lot different then when I first got into Fairy Tail University. He's agreed to not do it in our room. Oh, and he agreed to do it less often to focus on his studies. It's nice knowing he's actually trying in uni.

I smile to myself at the thought of it. Why do I keep smiling? What is this feeling of warmth that always emerges when Natsu and I are together?
