Bunkmates {NaLu} {completed}

{14} Loke and Mental Facepalms

A girl walks out of Gajeel and Loke's room.

"I think he's done," Natsu tells me and stands up. I follow behind him. He catches the door before it closes.

"Oi! Loke!" he calls, holding the door open for me as I rush inside.

"Ey, Natsu. Something you need?" Loke buttons up a white shirt.

"Just the usual."

"I got ya, bro." He finishes putting on his shirt and walks to the back of the room.

"You do this often?" I ask, looking around the place. It was somewhat clean, but not as clean as Yukino's room.

"Yeah, on different people though. Oh, Loke? I'm gonna need a bucket and some rope too."

"Got it," he calls from the back. Loke walks back with what appears to be what Natsu wanted.

"Thanks man." Natsu takes the things from Loke's arm. He nods his head towards the door and I quickly scramble to open it. Natsu walks out.

I start walking out but stop in the doorway. "Arigato," I say and turn back around.

"Hey." Loke says. I stop.

"Yeah?" I ask, turning my head around.

"If you want a fun time, you know where to find me," he winks.

Ugh not another player. I fake smile and quickly walk out, shutting the door.

"What took you so long?" Natsu asks as we walk down the hallway.

"It was only like 30 seconds," I say, opening the door to exit the dorm building.

"Yeah, but that's a whole 30 seconds you were in there on your own," he growls. Why is he being so protective? It's not like there's anything I could've even form in that period of time.

"Loke was just trying to get me to wink wank with him. That's it."

"He what?!" Natsu stops in his tracks, forcing me to stop too.

"I denied it, jeez, Natsu!" I protests.

"Good," he says. "Let's go." That was weird.

"We need the key to Gildart's classroom," Natsu says as we walk into the school building.

"And how are we supposed to get that?" I ask.

"Go get it from Gramp's office."

"Gramps?"

"Or Mr. Makarov. Some people call him Gramps though."

"Oh... But how do we get the key from his office?"

"He's probably out drinking with Gildarts and his other old friends," Natsu says, stopping by his office door. "Now go, my hands are full."

"Fine, fine," I mumble and open the door (which is already unlocked by the way).

There was no one inside. Just Mr. Makarov's desk and his leather swivel chair. I walk behind his desk and look for anything that might contain keys. Under the table? I bend down to check.

No. Just dried gum and a few crushed energy drink cans on the floor. I stand up straight and continue searching. File cabinets? I open the first one. Just papers.

I open and close all the cabinets only to find nothing. Where else could they be?

I look up at the walls to see if there's anything. I board labeled "Keys" with hooks below it, holding up the various room keys.

Really. Just... Really.

I mentally facepalm and walk over the the key hooks, looking for Mr. Clive's room key. I unhook the key and walk out the door.

"What took you so long?" Natsu asks. "I could clearly see the keys through the window."

"Then why didn't you tell me, baka!?" I smack the back of his head causing him to stumble forward a bit.

"Uh, my hands were full?" He makes up a lame excuse.

I roll my eyes and shove the key into the back pocket of my jeans. "Let's get going."

-=+=-

I take the key out of my pocket and put it into the lock. "It's not turning," I say, struggling to open the door. Did I take the wrong key?

"Here, let me try," Natsu says, shifting his arms so that he can hold all the things in only one. He places his hand over mine and tries turning the key. It doesn't budge.

"Maybe try the other way," he says and tries it. Still doesn't work. "Here, take the key out." He Mrs go of the knob and my hand to let me pull out the key.

"Do you think I grabbed the wrong key?" I ask.

He puts the key back in and it easily turns, uncoiling the door. My jaw drops.

"Or maybe you just put it in upside down." He smirks and walks in, leaving the key in the door. I take the key out and close the door after walking in.

Natsu places the items on Mr. Clive's desk. "Alright, where should we start?" He ponders. "How about the classic bucket of water above the doorway prank first?"

"Ok," I say. "Where do we get the water from?"

"Here," he hands me a bucket he got from Loke. "Go out this outside and come back. We'll wait for it to fill up while we work on everything else. I'll start setting up the rope meanwhile."

"But won't that take forever?" I ask, taking the bucket from him.

"We have time." He unravels the loop of rope.

"Fair enough. I'll be back." I walk out and let the door close.

I quickly run down the hall, being careful not to trip while running down the stairs. Why didn't he just plane this outside when we first got inside the building? Now I have to go all the way outside and-

A flash of red appears in the corner of my eye. Cráp. That's probably Erza. I better make it out quick. I dart down the hallway. I can almost see the outside!

I turn the corner and the doors of the school are just down the hall. Almost there!

I fast walk with the bucket down the hall, trying not to make any noise.

"Oi, Lucy!" Cráp.
