Blackmail pt.1

●Natsu's pov●
(HOLD MY HOOPS, IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN BIH)

Lucy has on an annoyed look as we leave the cafeteria, not even five minutes after our little cover up.

"What?" I ask over the loud talking in the packed hallway.

She throws me a glance and rolls her eyes, grabbing onto my arm to stop me dead in my tracks.

She then opens up the janitors closet to my dismay and pulls me in, shutting it quickly.

"Don't 'what' me" she crosses her arms after clicking on the light "You understand what's happening right?"

"No?" It comes out sounding like a question.

But, I really don't know, I'm not understanding the whole silent girl talk.

"Meredy knows about us" She gives me a look expecting me to now catch on.

I'm still clueless.

"Yeah, I know" I raise my eyebrows "so? She covered for us"

"That's exactly what I mean!" She runs a hand down her face.

"I'm lost" I say quite dumbly.

I never did understand the intricate details of drama that the girls would cook up.

But I guess this year it isn't Lucy's fault, it's mine for kissing her first.

"I don't trust Meredy" Lucy says point blank which shocks me "she didn't cover for us just out of the kindness of her heart."

"Would she really do that?" I feel as if I have to defend her, sweet Meredy wouldn't do something like that "she's too nice to do anything like that"

"Natsu" she cups my face in her hands, which snaps me to attention "I know you're a little slow, but try and at least think"

I snort as I pull away from her "I am"

She crosses her arms once more as she continues to talk "it's Meredy we're talking about, she didn't sleep with all of those guys for nothing, she's manipulative"

"Then why are you even friends with her?" I am becoming irritated at the whole situation, drama is too much for me.

"I'm not." She meets my eyes intensely "I only keep her around to prevent her from stabbing me in the back, which obviously didn't work"

"What do you mean?" I need the whole thing spelled out for me.

"Natsu~" she groans "she's going to try and get into your pants"

That makes me pause, I'm not worried about the fact that Meredy might actually try, I am more curious as to why Lucy cares.

"Why do you care so much about it?" I look down at her in the cramped closet "we agreed that we would stay friends"

Lucy turns on me with surprised eyes "that has nothing to do with it!"

"Doesn't it?" I narrow my eyes as I look at her "You can't tell me that has nothing to do with this"

"But it doesn't" she snaps, I can tell that I made her mad "we agreed to forget all about it and stay friends, and that's what I'm doing"

"by pulling me into a closet and telling me not to go fucking around with other girls?" I know I'm just being a dick by now.
