Falling for the Hot-Head [NaLu]

Chapter 7 ♡: Girl's Night

"Lucy, tell me everything! The fight is all I've been hearing about since yesterday." Levy curled up on the blonde's sofa after classes had ended for the day. She was planning on spending the night at Lucy's.

It was the day after Natsu's fight with Loke, and it was all anyone was trying to ask Lucy about. The only person she promised to talk about it with was Levy, who was more than curious.

"Well..." Lucy handed her friend a cup of tea and sat down next to her. "I was heading to class after our writing class, and the building is across campus. So I was walking there, minding my own business, when a guy named Loke came over to me. He was being pretty creepy and getting way too close to me when I saw Natsu and Gray running towards us."

The blonde paused to take a sip of her tea. "I was relieved when I saw them, but Natsu got...really angry. Loke was provoking him a bit, but I don't think I've seen him so angry before. Natsu threw the first punch, and they just went at it. Loke only managed to hit him once, but Loke got beat up pretty bad. Before things got really out of hand, Gray stepped in and stopped Natsu." Lucy looked down at her lap, tea cup in hand. "Then we just came back here...I guess to cool off. Natsu felt pretty bad about it afterwards."

"Wow..." Levy stared at the blonde, still trying to process everything. "I'm sorry you had to meet Loke like that, he's known for being kind of a creepy flirt."

"Uhh yeah, I gathered." Lucy let out a small giggle.

"Still, that's crazy Natsu went out of control. I guess that shows how special you are to him." Levy said, taking a sip of her tea afterwards.

The blonde let out a nervous laugh. "Yeah...I guess."

They sat in silence for a few moments before Lucy said something.

"Also, uh, Lev? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Levy replied.

"During the fight...Loke said something to Natsu that really kind of set him off, I'm just curious about it. He mentioned something about how Natsu's "been with his fair share of ladies" or something like that. What did he mean by that...?" Lucy looked at her blue haired friend and tilted her head with curiosity.

"Oh, I mean...he's not wrong. Basically after Natsu broke up with Lisanna, he got real friendly with a lot of ladies, if you know what I mean..." Levy gave Lucy a certain look.

"W-wait like, he dated a lot of people, or...?" Lucy still looked confused.

"Eh...not exactly. More like, he's been with a lot of girls...like sexually." Levy blurted out. "And don't ask why, I'm not sure what triggered it or why him and Lisanna broke up, he refused to tell anyone or talk about it after it happened. It's all kind of a mystery." The blue haired girl shrugged.

Lucy stared in shock at her friend. "Oh...I never would've guessed honestly. He never really gave me that kind of vibe before."

Levy shook her head. "Don't get me wrong, Natsu is a great guy. He would never involve someone he cared a lot about, like you. And as far as I know, he's not really doing that kind of stuff anymore. But like I said before, he's got issues. These are just some of the reasons I advised you not to fall for him."

God, if she only knew...

Lucy felt a pang of guilt as Levy explained. She was definitely shocked by all of this, but at least Natsu had always been respectful of her boundaries and had never tried to push her to do anything she wasn't comfortable with. That proves I'm not just another girl to him...right? Although she couldn't help but feel a little insecure about her sexual inexperience compared to his.

"Well, you've got nothing to worry about. I was just curious is all...you know, as a friend." Lucy replied.

Levy let out a small laugh and reached for the T.V. remote. "Yeah you're good. I understand being curious since everyone's talking about stuff you weren't here for." The short girl set her empty tea cup down on the coffee table. "Now, let's watch a movie!"

The girls picked a simple romantic comedy and turned off the lights.

Lucy tried to focus and not let what Levy said bother her, but she couldn't help but think about it. She felt jealous, even though she knew she had no right to be, since all of this happened before her and Natsu met.

I wonder...how many people has he slept with, and who? Maybe people I even have classes with? Gosh he must think I'm such a prude. I've never even kissed anyone before him!

The blonde nervously bit on her nails as she tried to push those thoughts away. The movie ended, and the girls changed and got ready for bed.

"I need to finish some homework real quick, Lev, and then I'll be in bed."

"Sure Lucy!" Levy exclaimed as she curled up on the bed.

The blonde sat at her desk, completing an assignment for her astronomy class. She was deep in thought before levy called her name, confused.

"Uh, Lucy?"

Lucy turned around, and to her horror, Levy picked up a jacket off the floor by her bed, a jacket that was Natsu's.

"Isn't this Natsu's jacket? Why is it here?" Levy placed it at the foot of the bed.

"Oh um..." Lucy tried to think quickly. She only had that jacket in her room because Natsu let her borrow it while they were out one day, and forgot to give it back. Since then, she had been sleeping with it, as cheesy as it sounds. "Yeah, Natsu left it over here a while ago, I just forgot to give it back."

"Oh right, that makes sense. I'm dumb." Levy giggled, laying back down.

The next day

That morning, Lucy texted Natsu about how Levy would be walking to class with them that morning, just so he would know to play it cool.

The girls got ready, and met Natsu at Lucy's door, ready to walk to the school.

"Hey guys." Natsu greeted Lucy and Levy as they walked out the door. The blonde didn't expect to feel so different around him, but she couldn't get everything she had learned out of her mind. She wanted to ask him so many things, but knew she couldn't, at least not in that moment.

They arrived, Natsu pulled Lucy back as Levy walked to her class. "Hey, Luce. Are you okay? You didn't talk much on the way here."

"Oh. Yeah I'm fine." Lucy replied, snapping out of her thoughts.

Natsu looked a little worried but let it go. "Okay, if you're sure. See you later, Luce." He went off to his class.

The rest of the day was a blur. Lucy felt like her thoughts were clouded, and she couldn't focus on anything. She just wanted to go home. After school, her and Natsu walked home together, as usual. The walk was mainly silent, as Lucy didn't know if she should ask Natsu about what Levy told her or not. She didn't know how to bring it up either. The two walked up to her apartment, Lucy still not saying much.

"Lucy." Natsu said as he put his bag down on the living room floor. "If something's wrong, please tell me." He walked over to her and gently grabbed her hands. "You've been really out of it all day. I just feel like something isn't right."

"Okay...well..." Lucy began, avoiding his eyes. "There's something I've been curious about. You don't have to answer if you don't want to..."

"Okay...?" Natsu looked at her, confused.

Lucy looked worried, but looked up at him. "What...what happened with you and...Lisanna?"
