exsiliumlogs | Coffee, Donuts, and Lots and Lots of Teasing. :3

Date & Time: March 6th, the afternoon
Location: Somewhere in the city ~~MY, "the city"~~, and ending up at a coffee shop most likely!
Characters: Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu Dragneel, Blaine Thorps
Summary: What happens when two mages encounter a troll who found it way too fun to tease them? ... a helluva lot more teasing, that's what.
Warnings: Probably none!

Morning training was always brutal on poor Lucy's body, especially considering it was Erza who was putting them through those drills. But it would be worth it in the end, even if she felt like she couldn't move afterwards. So immediately after training she'd informed her friends she was going back to her unit to have a shower. After that was done, she then decided to head outside again for a walk and possibly get a coffee and donut from a shop nearby. She'd meet up with Natsu again later (or sooner than she thinks), but for the meanwhile, coffee and donut was on the agenda. Also meeting certain trolls that teased her the other day, but shh, she didn't know she was going to run into Blaine yet.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Natsu was like a bloodhound. Only a dragon. Tracking someone he had the scent of was a cinch! Still in earshot of the conversation, Lucy glanced over her shoulder to the pair, "Yeah, but I thought we were going to meet up later?"

... well technically some time had passed, so it was later...

Anyway while she was at that counter she also ordered a spiced drink for Natsu, since she knew he'd join them at the table. Wandering back towards said table, she put the drinks down and reclaimed her seat, feeling the slightest bit awkward. "Natsu, this is Blaine." She added, by way of introduction.

"We... spoke to him the other night.." Ahem.

"Well it's later right now." Wow that was surprisingly meta yet simple of Natsu to use as an argument.

Natsu also watched Lucy go though he snapped out of it when he noticed Blaine was doing the same. He's watching you, buddy. The comment about his sense of smell does give them a different topic to consider.

"Yea it comes with having a dragon as a dad. " That's right Cassanova. This princess has a dragon as the guardian. And she returned just in time. Oooh with a drink for him too. When Lucy introduced them though he quickly filed that information away in his memory. Only to then connect the two dots.

"You!? You're that guy?! "

Luckily, Blaine was only partially serious about his 'affections'. He liked the flirt, sure, and if something came of it he was all aboard with going further. This time he was pretty sure they were both just fighting the obvious, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to enjoy trolling both of them until the end.

The second it took for Natsu to connect the dots gave Blaine just enough time to prop his chin on the back of his hand and wait for it. A hot headed guy like this though, he was prepared to jump back and out of the way pretty fast. He gave his most charming of grins. "Good to meet you, Natsu."

"Yeah, but it's only been what, an hour?" Color her amused. Ah well, she didn't mind at all. Glancing between the two cautiously, because she knew how overprotective Natsu could be, she traced her finger around the edge of the cup of coffee absently. "I was just clearing up the misunderstanding Blaine had that night." About the two of them.

Overprotective was putting it mildly. Especially after that scrape with Lestat. He didn't restrict her freedom but he didn't stay away all that much either. As evident by how quickly he found her now.

"Oh really? That's good I suppose." Naturally he presumed that the misunderstanding in question was the whole having Gray tied up in her closet or something like that.

Oh hey, look whose food just came? Just in time, because he had nearly drank all of his tea. He ordered another one while he sat there, a giant plate sat in front of him with two sides set down on one side. He wasn't kidding about his breakfast being the biggest meal of his day. He had an egg scramble that was full of peppers, tomato, onions and other vegetables that were available with two pieces of toast on the side. There was a bow of oatmeal with fruit cut in it and granola sprinkled on top. The final side was a plate with bacon on it.

"As far as I can tell, I haven't misunderstood anything," he said with a smile. Then he took his first bite of egg.

Wow. That was a big meal. Not nearly as much as Natsu's been known to eat, but still, hefty appetite. It looked good too and ... bacon. Hnng. Now she was going to get hungry. No Lucy, stay strong! You already ate and you have a bagel right here!

But at Blaine's comment, Lucy slumped at the table, letting her forehead nearly clunk against it with a small whine. "But we've been over this - what even gives you the idea that -- that --" She straightened a little, glancing at Natsu out of the corner of her eye, "I'm telling you the truth, we're just friends!" And that kiss was... just ... it was because she was curious and wanted to know and ...

"What gives you the idea otherwise?" The blushing? The flustered glances? Bah, that could be ANYONE. Still Lucy wasn't looking directly at Natsu for this conversation in the least. "What do I have to do to prove it already?"

Whoah there Lucy. That's a loaded question.

Okay this was getting both confusing and for some unexplained reason, annoying. Natsu sipped in on drink trying to stay focused on the more important things. Didn't help though that she was making a point to not toss him even a glance.

"I don't see why you gotta do anything..." he piped up with a grumble. Lucy's business was her own and the approval of others could matter less. At least that was how Natsu saw it.

This is Blaine eating a piece of bacon. Mmm, bacon. If she starts eying it he'd probably offer her a piece, because that was a splurge for him. He tended to stay away from a lot of meat unless he wasn't getting enough protein otherwise.

"He's your very own dragon tail," he said, swallowing what was in his mouth. "Guys don't follow a girl around like that just out of camaraderie."

Not many, anyway. And from what Natsu told him it definitely wasn't that, anyway. "The blushing is really cute," he purred, "and tells me more than your mouth is." Then he shoveled another few forkfuls of egg into his mouth and bit off a piece of toast.

"This involves you too, you know," Lucy finally glanced at Natsu, "I've been trying to explain to him that our ... that we're just friends but he doesn't believe me." It wasn't even anyone's approval - she just didn't want people thinking things that weren't true.

She did eye the bacon briefly, but instead focused on her bagel. Mm, bread. "Natsu does," she countered instead, "That's just the way he is. Besides-" she was attacked by a vampire and none of her guild mates wanted to see her suffer that way again.

Wait, what did Natsu tell you - she only followed the part up to where he mentioned the kiss. "You're just twisting things around now and reading too much into things!" She polishes off the coffee in front of her, glancing briefly at Natsu again. "Go on Natsu, tell him!" Tell him you devote yourself to following your friends and protecting them as much as you do Lucy!

"Then he's blind. Everyone can tell we're the best buddies either of us could ask for."

That's one way to throw a guy under the bus. Natsu blinked as the focus of attention was shoved on him. Natsu eyed Lucy then Blaine then back to Lucy again.

"Err...yeah Lucy's absolutely right, she's my best teammate I could ask for" That wasn't going to help was it?

Coffee, Donuts, and Lots and Lots of Teasing. :3
