Fight for Glory↠NaLu

Chapter 4: Opening

Natsu slammed his blaring phone, immediately stopping the alarm from screaming through his eardrums.

He slowly rose up from the bed and went through his normal morning routine.

Except he replaced raw eggs for some water and a protein bar.

He unlocked his phone to check the notifications he'd gotten overnight.

-Hey babe, I can't make it over to your house today. I'll see you tomorrow.

Natsu furrowed his brows, almost having the urge to chuck his phone at the wall. The one day she promised she'd be there was when she bailed on him.

Today was his fight, and she was "too busy" to make it all of a sudden. She always skipped on his fights, it's like she didn't give a damn about his future at all.

"She's the one fucking complaining about me not seeing her enough because I train too much, she's being a hypocrite! Why's she busy now?!" Natsu yelled out loud. He tried to chuck a napkin in the trash bin, but it only fluttered a couple feet in front of him and landed by his feet.

He decided to leave her on read, not bothering to reply. She should already know the problem here.

"The place just opened half an hour ago and I'm already tired. I'm going home after my shift." Levy complained, quickly throwing together some ice caffeinated drink for a customer.

At the moment, Lucy was working for the dining section, mainly as a waitress. So far everything was running smoothly, happy customers leaving more than satisfied.

"I'm sure you'll be fine." Lucy replied, grabbing another order to serve.

Juvia sweatdropped as she was running the cashier, hilariously complaining about her fingers being too tired.

The café doors burst wide open to reveal an extremely tall, broad muscular man with jet-black hair that swept behind his back. Levy immediately ran up and practically pounced on him, squeezing him in an bear hug.

"You made it!" Levy gladly said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek with a giddily smile.

Lucy came back from serving an order to another customer, smiling to now see what her friends' boyfriend looked like in person. She'd seen a few pictures that Levy showed her from Instagram, but it was the real deal now.

"Shrimp, I wasn't bout to take my chances of risking not coming." He said, his voice a deep husked tone.

"This is my new friend Lucy," Levy pointed, motioning her to walk over. "You know she's a huge bookworm for the Divergent series too?!"

He rolled his eyes. "Of course you'd find yourself another bookworm to read with." He said, setting her back down on her feet.

"Lucy, this is Gajeel, obviously," Levy smiled, patting her hand on his chest a few times. "Otherwise, how was your workout?"

Gajeel roughly groaned. "That Salamander went for a run this morning before coming to our practice and still managed to beat me in two out of three rounds. I let him off the hook because he's got the main fight tonight at the arena."
