25. How do you feel about group vacations with other couples?

"Awkward" Lochlan grunted, flicking ash from his cigarette before indulging in another inhale. "Never been on a vacation to start with, and some aspects of my life others likely wont approve of. Why, you and Miss Eli looking for others to go with?" He chuckled, releasing streams of silver smoke from the corner of his mouth. "Could be persuaded to go..."

@alexkestavin (lol, grumpy Lochlan on vacation with happy couples. The image is priceless. And I know one woman who would try to force him to wear a banana hammock with a damn bow!)

Episode 1, Part 5 ~ Sweetness & Light

Lucy hurried after Natsu to the main area behind the bar. Although she was a little overwhelmed by unfamiliar feelings, being away from Natsu’s immediate physical presence helped to restore her perspective, although it was also colder.  She sighed to herself.  Time to focus on her job—despite the way she reacted to Natsu, she still wasn’t sure what he thought of her, except that he’d taken an obvious interest in helping her out.  She had been handed the keys to her dream, but it was up to her to make it come true.

Although… Where did Natsu want to take her?  She felt heat begin to creep up into her cheeks again. Did he mean a date?  Maybe they would hold hands again…

[READ MORE BELOW CUT]

“Hey, Luce—we’re ready to start your training.”  For some reason, Natsu sounded less enthusiastic than he had before.  Beside him stood another good-looking guy, although his blue-black hair was a little less striking than Natsu’s bright pink. He was slightly taller and noticeably paler than Natsu, but both had the kind of slim-hipped, broad-shouldered good looks that appealed to—well, most people, really.

“Hi, I’m Gray,” said the dark-haired man, extending a hand and smiling at Lucy.  “I’m here from our northern location in order to pick up some extra training.”

His smile seemed genuine, although not brilliant like Natsu’s, and Lucy relaxed.  Gray seemed more normal than Natsu or Erza, despite their rather odd comments about him.  Mind you, he didn’t seem to be enjoying the heat, even though the store itself was air-conditioned.  His short-sleeved uniform shirt was unbuttoned about one button further than was entirely proper and his pants had been rolled to just below the knee.

“Nice to meet you, Gray,” Lucy said politely.  His hand was dry and not unpleasantly cool.

“Yeah, yeah, that’s enough,” muttered Natsu.  “Let’s get to work, Luce.” He shot an annoyed look at Gray.  “Or back to work, for some people.”

Gray shook his head in exasperation.  “Sure, whatever, Natsu.”  He walked back to his workstation rolling his eyes.

“Um, Natsu?”

Natsu looked a little guilty.  “Well, you know how it is—he was a big fish in a small pond up in the north, and now he keeps acting like he’s still an assistant manager.”

Lucy didn’t want to upset Natsu, but that seemed unfair.  “Um, he seemed okay to me—but I haven’t gotten to know him yet, really.”

“Not really worth it if you ask me,” returned her trainer, putting his hands lightly on Lucy’s shoulders. “So!  Let’s start out by seeing what you can do, okay?”  He grinned at Lucy, and whatever cloud had been hovering around him disappeared.

“Sounds good! Hopefully these machines aren’t too far out of my league.”  Lucy had to smile back—Natsu’s happiness was catching.  Besides… maybe he’d been just a little bit jealous?  Not that Lucy wanted to be anywhere near somebody truly possessive, like her father, but a hint of jealousy wasn’t so bad.  It might mean—

“Okay, here’s an empty carafe.  What do you think we do next?”  Natsu’s sage green eyes shone with genuine interest and kindness.

Lucy blinked and brought her attention back to coffee-making.  No matter what happened, Natsu was going to be a lot of fun to work with; she wasn’t going to blow this opportunity!

Natsu announced that they were done for the day at one o’clock. Lucy had made some mistakes, but she’d also gotten a lot of things right.  Gray had trained her for part of time, and she’d appreciated his steadier, calmer approach.  On the other hand, she was very drawn to Natsu—he just seemed so different and warm compared to other people.

“So, do you have a place in town?” Natsu asked, as they walked toward the back room and the employee lockers.

“Not yet, but now that I have a job, I won’t have much trouble finding a place, I hope.”

“How about I help you look? I know the town, after all!”

“That would be amazing—if-if you’re sure you don’t mind?”  Lucy suddenly felt a little shy.  Over the course of the morning, it had become clear that Natsu was well-known and popular in Magnolia—or at least with those who frequented CelestialJewels.

“Nah—it’s all good!” Natsu sounded perfectly relaxed about it and even gave Lucy’s hand a quick squeeze.  Her hopes for holding hands later started to rise.  “But let’s grab a sandwich here first, okay?  It’s quick, tastes great, and we pay next-to-nothing.  Besides, remember I told you I wanted to take you somewhere?”

Lucy felt her heart beat a little more quickly.  “Yes?” She tried to not to sound like the slightly star-struck girl that she was.

“Um, well…” Suddenly Natsu looked faintly embarrassed.  “It’s not that exciting, but you said it sounded interesting, so…”  He stopped, and they found themselves standing outside the changing rooms at the back of the break room.

“If you like it, then I’m sure I will too,” Lucy said softly, unable to meet his eyes—she was probably being too honest again, and that had never worked well for her before. Natsu seemed different, though—honest and straightforward, as well as kind and friendly.  He hadn’t been as sleazy as the other guys Lucy had met before, who had started out sincere, but turned out to be focussed on blond hair and a nice figure and not much else.  She hoped Natsu would see her as a smart, interesting person first, and… other things… could come later.

“Yeah, sorry,” said Natsu, as Lucy tried to push away the attractive idea of kissing the guy much sooner that prudence might dictate.  “I wasn’t trying to be mysterious, really.  Anyway, I thought you might like to see my tea room.  The place I blend and test my teas I mean.  We can head out apartment-hunting after that if you want.”

He looked so hopeful that Lucy almost laughed, her own fears forgotten.  This would be fun, and if she could get to know Natsu a bit better then so much the better!

@murderdeals || meme continuation || from here!

oh would you look at that stare? one that's greeted with an overly dramatic, overly SLOW MOTION blink of painted eyes. expectant. pointed. she could keep this up for as long as the boy decides to keep glaring. like mother like sonnnnn! she lowers her wine glass and rests it on the arm of his throne. like it's a little cozy. look at the grooves. they're meant for this purpose. she'll use them for exactly that when it's her sitting where he is. you know. if it ever happens. not that she's aiming for it. she'd never.

rowena digs at a black tipped, blood red nail with the opposite humming as she idly listens to fergus prattle on about what they're doing for the day. her eyes roll. that button pushing. he's trying so hard. she almost ALMOST feels bad enough to let him think he's winning at getting under her skin. (he isn't.) "mmm. i was thinking we could play a guessing game at how big the stick up your behind is, dear. but i was thinking.. i think we should do some house cleaning. free up the payroll, so to speak. it's been brought to my attention there's been some whispering behind your back. unruly subjects. tsk tsk tsk.." ah! she's looking out for her boy?? witch mother of the year! or herself. if they're against him. they're more than likely going to be a pain in the ass for her in the grand scheme of things.
