Our summer love story

Chapter 17: Tricks

It was that afternoon when Natsu suddenly made an announcement in public asking Lucy if he could court her to be his girlfriend. The blonde said yes happily telling the pink head to make her fall for him even more. Hearing this from her, Natsu became more motivated to become her 'forever' boyfriend.

That night, the group celebrated the finally admitting couples. Each one of them held some alcoholic beverage as they all cheered for Lucy and Natsu. "Guys! This is for Natsu and Lucy and for their future relationship one day!" Loke shouted as he held his drink up making the others copy him.

"Cheers!" Everyone unison shouting

As the group celebrated, Natsu and Lucy were totally embarrassed as they watched them. From time to time, they would be glancing at each other making them even more flustered. From the start, Natsu sat at the end of the old tree trunk in the beach while Lucy sat at the middle of it. The two were the only sitters making them watch their friends. But unconsciously the two kept on moving closer until suddenly Natsu bumped Lucy which made her look at him.

"Sorry..." Natsu then looked away as he tried hiding his flushed face

Lucy just stared at the blushing guy next to her until she giggled finding his actions amusing, "You're sorry because you bumped me?"

"Huh?"

"But you're not sorry that you stole my first kiss before?" Lucy asked as she kept her smile to the hunk teen

"A-about that-"

"Its fine...I actually really hoped before that you would be my first kiss..." Lucy cuts off Natsu as she began to blush as well making him smile back at her and chuckle

"Good..." Natsu then kept his gaze at the blonde which made her uncomfortable a bit but then she returned the gesture as well.

As if the world stopped, the two just kept their gaze at each other as if no one was there except for them. As they continued their gaze, the group suddenly went silent as they observed the two who was in their own world. They held their breath as they watched them lean slowly, until...

KYAAAA!

Juvia suddenly screamed as a bug began crawling her legs. Everyone then looked at her and Gray then dusted off the bug from her leg. He chuckled at her girlfriend because she began to blush because of her childish action. When they got over it, they looked back at the future couple and found them staring back at them.

"Are you okay Juvia?" Lucy asked the blunette

"Huh..uh, yeah..sorry about that.." Juvia replied shyly as she moved closer to Gray. The male then wrapped his arm to her shoulder pulling the beauty closer to him.

Gray then cleared his throat," Yeah sorry 'bout that...you may continue what you were suppose to do.."

"What?!" The two shouted as they suddenly blushed making the whole gang to laugh at them.

As the two continued to look at their friends, the two only thought of one idea, this night wouldn't end without teasing us...

When the two thought that the night wouldn't end, they ended up to be wrong. After 2 more hours celebrating, the gang decided to sleep. Unfortunately they all slept with their partners making Natsu and Lucy have no choice but to sleep in the same room.

As they entered Lucy's room, Lucy puts down the card in the bowl in the table next to the door and dropped her sandals. As she walked inside, Natsu silently followed her after closing the door.

"Uh Luce..."

"I'm in the room...don't come in yet, I'm changing!" Lucy shouted

Natsu then nods to himself before he began walking around the place. He ended up in the sofa laying down because of exhaustion. Since he was only in his board shorts, he fell asleep half naked.
