Chapter 8:
Alcohol and bad decisions pt.3

●Natsu's pov●

I can feel the alcohol affecting my system as I sit here listening to everyone's conversations, I am barely listening as my gaze is focused on Lucy's flushed cheeks.

There is something about her tonight that makes me feel different, she isn't the same old little sister figure anymore.

I figure it is just the alcohol talking, but deep down I know it's not, I noticed this feeling when I first saw her tonight before I had anything to drink at all.

She's not  that little girl that I have to protect anymore, she is capable of protecting herself and providing for herself.

She made that very clear to me tonight by just being here and being confident in who she is, she doesn't care if she gets too touchy with me or Sting, because she is confident enough to know we won't try anything, she's confident that even if we did she would be able to stand strong and say we are just friends.

That is the frustrating thing to me, and I don't even know why I am frustrated by that fact.

Lucy was always a sister to me, I've never thought of her as anything else, I've always been protective of her for that sole reason, at least I think so.

Lucy means a lot to me, we've been with each other since we were kids, it's only natural to be protective over somebody like that.

But when I saw her with Sting tonight I felt a flash of anger, I've always trusted my friends with Lucy but seeing her hold onto him like she holds onto me was irritating.

I felt the sudden urge to pull her to my side and to tell him to never touch her again, that only I was allowed to be that close to her.

I then realize that I am thinking and feeling things that I shouldn't be feeling or thinking.

Lucy is strictly a friend and she would stay that way, if it didn't stay that way then our friends would lose their minds, and not in a good way.

It would cause problems for me and everyone else.

And it's not like she is thinking this way anyways as well, Lucy probably only sees me as a friend and a friend only, just like she should.

Without realizing, I've been sipping on my heavily alcoholic drink due to the anxious thoughts at hand, and it's basically empty.

Well there goes my peace of mind.

I am snapped out of my thoughts by Lucy herself, raising her voice "Levy, that's not fair!"

"you owe me for last night" Levy pouts then pointing to the pool "do it."

I was confused to what was going on and the guys seemed just as lost considering they were in their own conversation.

"But I could die!" Lucy gasps dramatically.

Levy snorts and leans forward a bit "you're just a pussy" a smirk becomes plastered to her face.

Lucy's mouth forms a small 'o' "I am not!"

"Are too!" Levy presses "Do it or I'll call you that for the rest of the year"

Lucy's eyes widens a bit "Fine! but if I have to, Erza has too"

"Whats going on?" Laxus tries to ask but is completely ignored.

Levy has a triumphant look on her face and she leans back content "I'll have Erza do it after you"

Lucy sluggishly gets to her feet and I watch her with concerned eyes "If I break something then you're paying for my hospital bill"
