Ch 9: Sweet Peas....

~ Natsu's P.O.V. ~

"Sir, I mean Natsu, I mean I don't know what you want me to call you s--"

"--Call me Natsu, Rachel."

"Sorry, I just, I wanted to ask you if you could, um, go with me, uh, to the party that Levy is throwing."

"Sorry, Rachel, but I don't date."

"Oh! Forgive me! I didn't kno--"

"--it's fine, Rachel," I got up from my seat and handed her some money.

As I looked at her face again I could tell that she was holding back the tears, "I mean you are pretty . . . . Nice. So, I'll go with you."

"Really?! Oh my god! This is great! I'll see you later today, kay? Kay!"

"Kay," I whined softly as she walked away.

. . . .

"I'm on my way, Erza," I commented while buttoning up my plaid shirt.
"Excellent! Date?" She asked excitingly.

"Actually, yes."

"That Rachel girl?"

"Yup."

"I would have imagined a blonde. That just seems like your type."

I coughed nervously, "Well I have to pick her up. I'll see you in a few minutes!"
"Right! See you then, Natsu!"
I hanged up with a sigh.
"My type?"

I shoved my phone in my back pocket and locked my apartment door.
"Hope this goes wel--"

"--Hey darling!"

"RACHEL?! I thought I was picking you up?"

"I thought walking would be WAY more romantic."

"Right...."

. . . .

"Almost there."

"Oh come on! How long are you gonna take!"

"For what exactly?"

"Um. I don't know. A kiss?"

"A kiss? Isn't that suppose to wait a little?"

"Wait? No! Of course not!" She looked at me disparate.

"I--"

"Hey guys! You finally arrived," I turned around to find the short bluenette.
I waved towards her and she ran towards us, gripping our arms making us run to her porch.

"Welcome to my party! Enjoy yourself," suprisingly the party wasn't a calm tea party or something like that.
It was almost like a teenager's party.
Music, random people crowding around, different lights, plastic cups. Causing a face of disgust to land on my face.

. . . .

"Natsu! Nice to see you here, where's your date?"

"Probably making out with some other guy."

"What? I'm so sorry," the scarlet haired girl patted my back softly.
"It's fine. She wasn't really my type. No sense of humor or confidence."

"Or blond hair--"

"---Hey, Erza! I finally found you. I was getting scared by how many people were making out," The blonde motioned towards our surroundings.
"Good point," laughed Erza.

The blonde finally laid her brown eyes on me.
"Oh! Hello, who are you?"

"Natsu Dragneel, am a good friend of Erza and the girl hosting this party."

"That's great! You know the two people that I know in this party! I'm Lucy Heartfilia."

"That's actually a really pretty name."

"Well what. Did you expect it to be ugly?"
She glared at me but then let out a small snort.

"My friends call me Luce, though."
