Working With The Band [NaLu]

Chapter 6 ♡: The Party

Three weeks had passed since my first show with the band. Since then, things have gotten a lot better. The band has been really liking my work, my dad hadn't bothered me and I call Levy every other day. Everyone has been great, and now I mainly hang out with Gray and Natsu when we have free time. I'm getting along with everyone, I really couldn't complain.

"Hey I'm going to the grocery store down the street to pick up a couple things, anyone want to come with me?" I asked the guys. It was around midnight, and the guys had just finished up a show that night. We had about an hour before we had to hit the road again and I desperately needed a couple things from the store.

"Uhh...I can go if you want." Gray said.

"No, it's fine Gray, I need a couple things anyways." Natsu said as he stood up.

"Oh okay...I guess that works out then." Gray replied.

Natsu and I left the tour bus and went on our way. The sidewalk we took was quite dark, with a couple cars driving by.

"Man, it's quiet... and dark out here..." I let out a nervous laugh.

"Well that's why I didn't want you to go alone...it could be dangerous out here..." Natsu replied, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Finally, we arrived at the store. Luckily it was open 24 hours, and not many people were there. I just needed to get some snacks, toothpaste and some feminine products, so we made our way down the aisles. In the snack section I noticed a group of girls staring over at us. At first I was confused, then I looked at Natsu, who did look...pretty good. He wore his black jeans with a chain hanging off the belt loop and a black shirt with large holes cut out for the arms. It exposed the sides of his lean torso, revealing small bits of tattoos that indicated he had several chest and possibly back tattoos.

"Lucy...? You okay? Is there something on me because you're kinda staring hard..." Natsu waved a hand in front of my face.

"Oh! Uh, sorry. Just spaced out a bit." I shook those weird thoughts out of my head and grabbed what I needed off the shelf.

We made our way through the store, and checked out. On our way back, Natsu received a text.

"It's from Gray." Natsu said as he unlocked his phone. "Oh...okay."

"What did he say...?" I asked.

He let out a quick sigh. "So a guy that we know named Lyon is hosting a party at his house tomorrow night. We have a couple days off from doing shows and we're probably gonna go since we're passing through Lyon's city. It's really not my thing, you might have fun though."

"Oh, okay. So it'll just be a small house party right?" I was sure I could handle that. I'd been to my fair share of parties back home.

"Uh...I mean not really. His house is huge and it's usually packed. He's got a band of his own and they're known for being partiers. There's usually...a lot of people..."

"Oh..." My voice trailed off as we came up to the tour bus. We walked in and the guys were all sitting around the front area.

"So Lyon's tomorrow night guys? Did you tell Lucy about it?" Gray asked.

"Yeah I did. And sure. You guys are just gonna get fucked up and Laxus and I will have to take care of you..." Natsu said with a small smirk.

"Hey don't look at me, I barely drink." Gajeel said.

"Sure Gajeel...but I'm mainly talking about Gray over here..."

"What...?!" Gray's jaw dropped and he threw his hands up like he was offended. "When does that happen?"
