The Hottest Boy Band

Studio

Chapter 8- Studio

Lucy's POV

As soon as we get to the studio and Jellal parks, Natsu drags himself out. We all walk to the door, and when Gray opens the door, the cool air from the AC blasts me in my face.

Jesus Christ, have these people heard of something called turning up the temperature?!

"About time you lazy asses get here!" someone exclaims.

"Name's Gildarts. Nice to meet ya!" he says, and sticks his hand out for me to shake.

"Hi Gildarts. My name's Lucy. Pleasure's all mine."

"Nice. This one's got manners. So, who's is she?" Gildarts says, eyeing the guys. They all shift uncomfortably.

"Um..." Natsu says.

"So, go on! Who's the boyfriend of this lovely girl?"

"No one," I say, saving them from even more discomfort. Although I soon regretted it after remembering all the torture I've gone through.

"Oh, well that kind of makes sense. None of them would be able to score such a pretty girl!" says Gildarts.

"When are we going to start, old man?" Natsu asks.

"Who're you talking to? The only old man I see here is you," Gildarts says as he snickers.

I'm getting a good idea of what the guys here are like. They look mature (ok, well not really), but have childish personalities. With the exception of Jellal.

"Who's this?"

When I turn my head to look at who spoke, it was a lady with long, purple hair.

"I'm Laki, and you are...?"

"Lucy. Nice to meet you."

"No need to be so polite. We're all family here. So I hear you're the new addition to the band!"

"Yeah. Natsu dragged me here."

"He can be pushy, but you'll come to love him," Laki says winking, "Unless you have your eye on a different guy," she says, looking thoughtful.

"Laki!" I exclaim, blushing. I plan on not falling in love because if all fans are as crazy as my friends, they would probably try to kill me.

"What?" she says, trying to look innocent.

"Never mind."

"On with the recordings. Studio's in the back. Come on!" Gildarts says, leading the way.

I sigh. Little kids and a matchmaker. I wonder who else is part of this odd bunch.

"About time you guys are here!" a short, old man says. Oh, look here comes another odd one.

"Oh? Who's this lady?" he asks.

"I'm Lucy. What's your name?"

"I'm Makarov, but most people call me Master. Welcome to the crew. Now, which one of these boys are your boyfriend?"

"Why does everyone ask that?!" I exclaim out of frustration.

"Maybe she's dating Natsu, but cheating on him with Gray. She's dated Jellal and Gajeel, and they clicked. A harem!"

"God damn! Did you not here me? I. Am not. Part. Of a harem!" I shout.

"That's what they all say," Makarov/ Master says.

"Seriously!"

"Sure."

"Ok, ok we get it. Now, can we start recording?" Gajeel says impatiently.

"God, ok. You know, you could have just gone ahead. The doors right there. You know the way," Gildarts says, pointing to a door labeled 'Recording'.

"We were just waiting for Luce!" Natsu says.

"How sweet. Maybe that's why he's your boyfriend!" Laki says, coming up from behind me.

"Shit, you scared me! And how many times do I have to tell you assholes that I'm. Not. Let me repeat that word not! Dating anyone," I say, venom dripping from every word I hissed.

"You'll eventually love one of them, Lucy. One girl, four guys."

"But Levy likes Gajeel, Erza like Jellal, and Juvia likes Gray," I whisper.

"What?! Shrimp likes me?"

"Erza? And me?!"

"I figured Juvia liked me."

"How did you guys here that?!" I exclaim.

"We have super human hearing. Cool, right?" Jellal says.

"Uh..."

"Just kidding. You were just kind of loud when you said that, and we heard it."

"Is it true though? That Erza likes me?" Jellal asks.

"Yeah, all of it is. Why would I lie?" I say.

"It's just surprising, that's all," Gajeel says.

"How? Don't you guys have fans who love you guys?"

"We do, but this is different," Gray says.

"How?" I ask.

"I don't know, it just is!" Jellal exclaims.

"It's different because the boys like them back!" Laki squeals.

"So true. I need to set them up," I say.

"But what about you? And Natsu?"

"We'll do the matchmaking."

"Good luck!" Laki says as she walks back to her desk.

"Thanks!"
