Cute As Fuck

Chapter 2

Lucy parks her car in an empty spot in Fairy Tail's parking lot and shuts off the engine, taking a deep breath. "You can do this." Butterflies are zooming around her stomach as she walks towards the front doors. It is a quarter to noon, and she is here with plenty of time to wait on Natsu. She may have taken ages to decide what to wear and get ready, but she is here now.

She is wearing a pretty, pale pink cami that has some detailing around the bust before it cinches underneath, the fabric falling loose around her torso. The rest of her attire consists of short jean shorts and sandals that practically match the color her top. Her hair is tied up in a cute messy bun and she has some makeup on.

Lucy enters Fairy Tail and is instantly surrounded by familiar sights and sounds. She has been here a number of times with her friends and has grown rather fond of the establishment. She certainly does have wonderful memories involving this place.

Suddenly, her phone goes off because of a text. When she reads it, she becomes surprised.

Natsu: You look cute af today btw :P

Her brown eyes glance around, wondering just how he could possibly know that. Sure enough, Natsu is off to the right by a concession stand with a drink in hand.

Since he isn't wearing a hat, it is easy to see his spiky locks are haphazardly placed and a cowlick makes his bangs stick up in front. It seems like he has on the same boots and pants from yesterday, but his top is different. He is wearing a plain grey tee, the neckline covered up by a white scarf with black lines, and a black cuff around his left wrist. The look is so simple, but so fantastic on him all at the same time.

Lucy smiles and makes her way over to him. "I just got here."

He chuckles. "I can tell."

"Were you waiting long?"

"Nope." Will he admit he has been here for fifteen minutes already? Never.

"So what do you want to do first? Bowling or eat?"

Natsu grins. "How about I kick your ass at bowling first?"

She arches her eyebrows. "Is that a challenge?"

He shrugs. "It probably won't be one for me."

Standing firmly on her feet, Lucy folds her arms under her well-endowed chest. "You're on!"

He bows, gesturing out with his arms towards where they will need to rent shoes from. "Weirdos first."

"I'm not a weirdo," she huffs, strutting forward.

He follows after her so they can get their shoes. Once they get their necessary sizes, Natsu is already hanging over his credit card before Lucy can even get her wallet out of her purse.

"Hey, I'm paying for my shoes," she tells the worker. "Just ring him his up."

"Nah, I'm paying for both," Natsu says, waving her off.

Thinking Natsu is the scarier one of the two, the worker listens to him and takes the card.

Lucy puffs her cheeks out. "I easily could have paid for me."

"Yeah, but I'm the one who suggested Fairy Tail," he points out, taking his credit card back.

The duo walks off to find bowling balls to use. Lucy ends up with one in her weight range that has a swirling pink design to it. On the hand, Natsu's choice is bigger and is a vibrant red.

"Let's go to lane seven," he suggests. "It's open."

She nods. "Sure."

With their bowling balls nearby, the two get to work on trading shoes. Natsu finishes first and goes up to the machine to type in information so they can start.

Since she is a fashionista, Lucy packed a pair of ankle socks inside of a plastic baggy to wear with the bowling shoes. She positively wanted to wear her certain pair of sandals with her top and nothing was going to stop her from doing so. And now with the bowling shoes on, she is ready to wipe the floor with Natsu. Cute or not, he is going down.

"All set!" Natsu announces.

She looks up to read the two names on the screen: Natsu the Great and Luigi. "Luigi?" she questions.

He gives her a lopsided grin. "It suits you."

She snorts. "Because Natsu the Great totally suits you."

"Exactly."

She gestures towards the lane with a hand. "Weirdos first."

He rolls his dark green eyes. "That's my line." Then he walks over to retrieve the bowling ball he picked out. "Lemme show you how a pro does it!"

Lucy watches as he steps up and takes a moment to line up his shot. Then he strides forward, swings his arm back, and lets the bowling ball speed down the lane. She cracks up the moment it ends up in the gutter.

He looks back at her. "You jinxed me! You totally jinxed me!"

"Maybe you're just bad to begin with."

"Am not!"

"Wait, who just got a gutter ball on their first try?" she teases. "Can you remind me?"

He makes a face at her and walks over to the machine that will spit out the bowling ball. "Just watch, okay? I'm gonna nail it this next time."

She rolls her eyes playfully. "Surrre."

After his second throw, Natsu manages to knock down six pins. He spins on his heels to face her, a triumphant look on his face. "Ha! Beat that!"

Without a word, she hops up onto her feet and passes him as they trade places. She grabs the pink bowling ball and waits for the pins to be set up for her, already feeling confident. After everything is ready, she steps up and flings the ball down the lane. Lucy is already walking back to sit down even before the ball collides into the first pin.

Natsu's jaw practically hits the floor when all ten pins are knocked down. He points an accusing finger at her, jumping to his feet. "Witch! Black magic! Sorcery!"

She cracks up. "I'm just really good at bowling." She puts a finger to her chin. "Didn't I mention that before?"

His face turns ashen. "Shit."
