Natsu POV
"Hey Luce! How about a job with me and happy?" I asked enthusiastically.
Lucy seemed way off than normal. She looked so pissed at me. She didn't even want to face me.
"No thanks, I wouldn't want another village to be destroyed," Lucy grunted, emphasising on the 'another'.
"Oh come on Luce! Don't you need some jewels to pay for your rent?" I reasoned, more like begged.
"Yeah I guess you're right,"
Bingo.
Suddenly, Lucy gaze turned to that stupid popsicle who was naked. Again.
"Hey Gray, wanna go on a job with me?" Lucy asked.
What?? Why Gray? He's not as strong as me. He's not as good looking as me! He can't eat as much as I can! He's just Elsa without the dress. I felt my heart drop.
"Huh, oh sure Luce,"
Luce? When did Elsa call my Lucy 'Luce'? That was my nickname for her. I decided to swallow my feelings and act like it didn't bother me.
"How about the three of us then?" I said, losing the enthusiasm.
"Nah, it's been a while since Lucy and I went on a job alone," Gray smirked.
I felt my blood boil. For the love of Igneel, give me strength to not kick this ice prick's ass to the moon.
"You went on a job alone before..?"
I saw Lucy and Gray blushed a deep shade of crimson red as they looked at each other. Disgusting. I couldn't hold back the wanting to punch that popsicle.
"Oh okay,"
I didn't know how to react. I ran towards the bar and ordered some booze to help me forget.
"Hey Mira! One mug of booze please," I requested.
I saw Mira lift an eyebrow as she walked towards me.
"You don't usually drink booze.. why the sudden change?"
"Maybe he discovered the beauty of booze~" Cana said while hiccuping in-between words.
"Nah, I just.." My eyes drifted to everywhere and everyone else besides Mira.
"Gray and Lucy?"
"How did you know??" I questioned while staring at her eagerly.
"I saw you getting harshly rejected by Lucy..and plus, both of them hardly ever went on a job together so it's weird to see them standing by the job board," Mira explained.
I shaped my mouth to an 'o' shape before frowning. My bangs covered my eyes as I stared down at my feet.
"I don't know anymore. Was it cause I destroy the village on the previous mission or what?" I said hopelessly.
Mira POV
Great! First Gruvia and now Nalu? The love gods are testing my matchmaking skills. I shall not disappoint. Suddenly, an idea popped in my head.
"I end my shift at 7. Meet me under the Sakura tree then. I got something important to tell you and it might help you get back your Luce," I grinned from ear to ear leaving Natsu blushing crazily over the fact I said 'your Luce'.
"She's not mine..but whatever," Natsu mumbled before walking off to find Happy.
