Dragon Slayer Mating Season

Chapter 4: A Feline's Jealously

[Previously:]

Looking over at Natsu, I was surprised to see him blushing as well, yelling at Happy to shut up. I couldn't help but get over my embarrassment and laugh at his reaction, especially when it deepened. A sudden squeal leaving Mira's lips as she got the whole guild's attention with a delightful scream.

"NALU IS SOON GOING TO HAPPEN!!!"

The guild went silent for a moment before bursting into cheers, everyone raising their beer mugs to the announcement. Although me and Natsu looked at one another in total confusion.

'What's Nalu?'

However before I could question it, something caught my attention in the corner of my eye. Slightly turning to see Lisanna staring... and she didn't look so happy.

(Lisanna POV.)

A smile broke out seeing the guild act so carefree from my table, they never changed... Although the sound of the guild door opening, my smile went wider because standing there was my pink haired childhood friend with Happy flying over his shoulder.

"Natsu..." I sighed dreamily.

The fire dragon slayer making his way toward the bar, I'm guessing to order food for breakfast—Mavis, I couldn't help but gaze at him dreamily whenever seeing him. I have loved Natsu since we were kids... I helped him hatch Happy... and even went as far to force him to play husband and wife with me when taking care of Happy.

I snapped out of my thoughts when hearing my sister's voice, seeing Natsu talking with her.

'I wonder what they are talking about.'

Mira was writing stuff down on her little notepad, I assumed Natsu was just ordering food before heading toward the kitchen to cook it up. My sister came out a few minutes later with plates of food, balancing them with grace. I giggled seeing Natsu's face in awe as the drool formed, 'Some things never change. Natsu always did have a big appetite.' Wait... That's new. Right next to him was a bowl of strawberries... Does Natsu even eat strawberries? I was about to go ask him what's with the sweet fruit—a perfect conversation starter—but a familiar blonde that everyone was so fond of beat me to it. What was her name again, Luce? No... Lucy.

The celestial mage walked over and sat right next to Natsu at the bar, smiling at him while doing so. My curiosity and jealousy get the best of me when seeing Mirajane, Natsu, and Happy talking to her about something... Transforming one of my ears to a bat, wanting to hear what they are saying.

"It was so cute Lucy!! Natsu, here, came to order his usual breakfast but then asked for a small bowl of strawberries... He knew strawberries were your favorite and he wanted to buy you some!!" Mirajane gushed, heart eyes forming.

Frowning, I felt bad for Natsu... He must have been feeling so embarrassed and disgusted—Although when I glanced at him, my eyes widened as anger boiled up seeing Natsu's face turning red with a slight lovesick grin as Lucy started to laugh.

'T-That Lucy girl! I knew Natsu and her were close, but I didn't think for a second that he might actually like her!! I thought she was just there for bait during missions... No, I can't let this happen! Natsu. Is. Mine!! Hear that you blonde bitch, I'm not losing that easily!!'

What really threw me over the edge was when big sister Mira shouted an announcement in a cheerful voice, "NALU IS SOON GOING TO HAPPEN!" The entire guild cheered louder than ever, as if they waited for this moment forever.

I knew what Nalu meant, and in no way was I going to let that happen... My teeth gritted together as I glared at Heartfilia with the meanest look I could muster and headed toward them. Lucy turned toward my direction with one of utter confusion. The scene forever burned within my mind as it forced something to grow inside. Something primal, envy... Dark—Do something about it. Make her pay, snuff out the light and show her what it means to live in the dark.
