Celestial Queen {A NaLu Story}

10: He's Not Goddamn Messi!

Everybody's mouth...literally dropped; mines included.

"W-wait, Thiago?! Why are you here? Wait, put me down first!" I frailed a bit until I was finally back on my own two feet. I whipped around to face the six-feet tall guy with sun-kissed skin that can have any girl drooling.

Okay, okay!

I was one of those girls for some time.

I mean who wouldn't?

He's got the body of a damn god with an eight-pack right under that tank-tops he loves to wear during casual time in public. Even during the winter time, the long-sleeved sweaters he wears hugs those biceps so perfectly. His hair was always neatly cut and those glowing eyes captivate you the moment you so much as glance into them.

On top of all of that, he has a huge heart and is a complete sweetheart.

And God, his smile.

"God DAYUM!" I closed my eyes in embarrassment at Cana's sudden holler.

"Surprise!" He laughed before sending a smile in her direction. "Coach Makarov told me to wait after the game to come out but I couldn't."

"Come back here, boy! You're in the middle of it!" Coach suddenly yelled.

Thiago chuckled. "Well, I'll be on the bench waiting for you." He jogged towards Coach without another word.

"Wait for me, instead!" Cana tried to make a mad rush towards him but I grabbed her just in time. I don't know if she's drunk or not but I do remember she might be a little boy-crazy.

That's an understatement.

"I apologize for that."

"Is he the Thiago Lily?" Juvia came up to me.

"It's Rosa, Juvia." I groaned. "And yeah...that's him."

"Oh my..." Juvia stole another look but I didn't miss the glare Gray had trained on her.

"He's so much...HOTTER IN PERSON!" Cana yelled.

Someone save her, please.

"Who's Thiago Lily Rosa?" Natsu interjected.

Oh no.

There's too much going on right now. First Thiago somehow teleport from Spain to Magnolia and sitting on the bench with the rest of the Fairy Tail subs just talking to them like he belongs here. Second: I'm almost positive Natsu doesn't know Thiago's and my history. If anyone here opened their mouths then whatever little baby steps we just took will be completely thrown off course.

Erza, who seemed to be the first female to have recovered from my friend's sudden appearance, demanded we get into position right away.

The rest of the half went on with us scoring two more goals so we ended with 4-1. Halftime came and we all jogged over to Erza for a quick team meeting before moving over to Coach.

"We started off a little rocky but for now, we're doing pretty good. Just keep it up for another 30. Now go on, take your break. And Cana, hands off Thiago."

Cana groaned. "You always ruin my fun."

And I want to get out of Natsu's personal bubble as soon as possible before he starts asking questions or anyone dare answer the questions. I glared at each of the girls standing in the huddle to make sure they got the message. I know Erza won't slip up but I'm not so sure about Juvia or Cana. Levy is out sick so I don't have to worry about that loose end either.

"I just don't get what the big deal is." Gray mumbled, crossing his arms. "He's probably not even that good at soccer."

"He plays for U20 Barcelona team." Jellal quickly answered. "So yeah, he probably is good at soccer."
