After Brandish's attack, Natsu and I were having a little fun.
We did the drawing contest, the food contest, and the duck tape contest, where you have to sit on a chair and let the other person wrap duck tape around you and you have to tear off the tape from you in less than five minutes.
Natsu won on that contest because of his speed.
At the moment, we were sitting down on the table, eating chicken with salad.
"I can't really taste the chicken too much. It's probably because of my vampirism." Natsu said, continuing to eat the chicken and salad.
"Well, do you want a drop of my blood?" I asked, chewing and swallowing the chicken.
"What? Lucy, as much as I want blood right now, I won't drink yours." He said, chuckling.
"Natsu, how many years has it been since you had human blood?"
"347 years."
I dead pan. He's not telling me the truth.
"Really?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
He sighs. "Fine. It's been 421 years without human blood."
"Are you serious!? Natsu! That's bad for you!"
"I know but I've been drinking animal blood. I've been drinking rabbit and rat blood which kind of boasts up my speed and strength."
"By 10%! Natsu, you're not strong enough! You need blood bags from Mira!" I said, finishing the last chicken.
"Mira killed people for their blood and drained their blood in bags. It's like I killed people. I don't want to feel guilty again for drinking their blood–"
I giggle and he stares at me, quite offended.
"What's so funny?"
"You're just being exaggerating. You're going to have Mira's blood bags and that's final!"
"I'm pretty sure she'll say no since it's her food."
"Then I'll convince her."
"Wait, you're going to call her? Lucy, your relationship with her isn't the best."
"I don't care! My boyfriend needs human blood and that's final! Give me your phone, now!"
"Jeez, although you're human, you sure are scary." Natsu said, handing me his phone.
I grab it and go to his contacts. I found that he still has Lisanna's number.
"Why do you have Lisanna's number?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
"Forgot to delete it when she desiccated. Can you do that for me?"
I lay my eyes off of him and deleted her number. Under Lisanna was Mira.
"Ah, found her number."
I press the call button and put the phone against my ear. It was dialing until it answered.
"Yes, Natsu?"
"Actually, this is Lucy. I wanted to know if you can lend Natsu 20 of your blood bags?"
Natsu gasps and shakes his head, trying to snatch the phone away.
I shoo him off as Mira replies.
"Ugh, why?"
"Because I want him to be strong and not weak. His injuries won't heal that quick and I'm worried that he'll actually die. You and I both know that you wouldn't want Natsu to die."
"If it's for important causes, I'll lend you 20. Maybe even 25. I'll be at Natsu's house, okay?"
"Actually, leave them off at my house. It's a brown house at Edolas Street."
"Alright. I'll be there. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Mi–" Mira ends the call and I sigh.
"20!? Oh my God, I'm surprised that she actually agreed to bring me some! Lucy, you're a goddess!"
He brings me up in his arms and spins me around once.
"Wow, you're excited for blood, huh? Just don't go too blood thirsty on me. How about you only drink one blood bag everyday? That way, you can get much stronger little by little. Sounds good?"
"Yeah. That sounds great."
The door blasts open and I flinch. Mira enters with a box of blood bags and a smirk on her face.
"Nice place, Lucy."
"Uh, thank you."
Mira sits down the blood bags and I look inside.
Full blood bags.
"How many did you bring? It doesn't look like 20." Natsu said, almost drooling.
"About 40 blood bags. You know, I wanted to be useful for you. Trust me, you're gonna have to return the favor for me."
I eye at Mira and she was being too happy.
"Mira, you're hiding something. What is it?" I asked, and she pouts.
"W-What?! I'm not hiding something at all! I swear!"
"You're being suspicious. You gave me 40 blood bags. You want something from us." Natsu said, smirking.
"Alright! Fine! So, it's almost Gray's birthday and I wanted to throw a party for him! It's been 349 years since we last threw birthday parties. I want you guys to help me plan it!" Mira squealed, jumping up and down and gently clapping her hands.
"I'm in! Gray is a friend of mine and I would love to throw him a birthday party! What do you say, Natsu?" I asked, siding with Mira.
"Uh, yeah. I'm in."
"Ooh!! This is gonna be great!" Mira yelled, really excited.
"So, how old will he be?"
"613. He's 612 at the moment. Gray was born in the year 1404. Gray is one year older than Natsu."
"Oh, wow! How old are you, Mira?"
"I'm 802 years old."
"Wow! That's amazing!"
I was in awe that a vampire can still look beautiful after many and many years.
"You're 17, correct?" Mira asked.
I nod, smiling.
"Uh, enough about the age talk. I'm going to drink a blood bag." Natsu said, grabbing one.
"Natsu, you don't look excited for Gray's birthday party."
"I mean, why would I be excited for his birthday when he has done tons of horrible things?"
"It doesn't matter. My brother smokes and I still love him. For you being excited and having a blast in your brother's birthday party, it will show a proof of love." I said, caressing his cheek.
"But this is different–"
"It's not. Your brother is the only thing you have. It doesn't matter if he was adopted. He's still your brother and you two are there for each other no matter what." Mira explained, and I smile.
"Fine. I'll be a part of the birthday party."
"Yay!! That's awesome! I'll be right back, I'm going to tell my friends!"
Mira runs off and I kiss Natsu's cheek.
"Thank you."
