Chapter 27 - don't need it

First, sorry for not updating. Wattpad didn't work, it refreshed itself all the time. ___________________________________

~Natsu's POV~

I blushed at Lucy's words. I never thought I was that important to Lucy. I saw her blushing too. I smiled at the thou—

"AND THE WINNER OF THE FIRST ROUND IS... NATSU AND LUCY!!" The presenter said. There were a lot of clapps from the stand.

I saw flashes too. Lucy and I looked where it came from and saw Mira with a big camera. "Don't mind me here," she said innocently.

I hugged Lucy and she did the same. I loosened the hug and looked at her. "Did you hear it? We won the first round," Lucy said excited. I nodded proud. "Yeah, we did."

We leaned in for a kiss. It was a simple kiss.

When we broke the kiss we heard 'awwwww' Lucy and I looked around, realizing that we were still here.

"AWW! WE SAW THE SWEET KISS BETWEEN LUCY AND NATSU," the presenter said.

Does he feel the need to scream everything?

Soon we saw all of our friends next to Mira. But what shocked me and Lucy was that Gajeel and Levy were holding hands.

I smirked and Gajeel saw it. "Don't say a word, you hot headed freak," Gajeel said and then blushed a little. I found it somewhere cute.

Lucy giggled and congratulated them.

"Alright, time for the next round..." he began, "Next is a difficult. YOU HAVE TO SMACK YOUR PARTNER. THE BEST SMACK WINS THE ROUND."

All the couples, including us, became confused. "WHAT THE HECK HAS THAT TO DO WITH ROMANCE?" some screamed. We all agreed and the presenter sweat dropped.

"I'm sorry. I get instruction to say it. I think the instruction means; if you slap your boy/girlfriend and they are upset, you have to comfort them, you have to smack proposely, but act like you did it by accident I think," he said putting his arms in front for protection.

We all sighed. "Oh right, the boy smacks the girl" he announced.

I saw in my eye corners that Lucy became angry. "But the girl has to smack the boy," she whined softly, arms crossing. I smiled and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, it's going to be okay."

Then she smirked to me. "I am not afraid. Remember in the past, I used to get smacked a lot." My eyes showed like always guilt. I still can't forgive myself, even if Lucy says it isn't my fault, while it clearly is.

"Don't worry, I am not holding a thing against you," she whispered soft to me. I nodded and smiled a little.

"Wait! The boy has to smack the girl as hard as possible. And the girl must not cry, otherwise they lose the round. It will show who is the strongest couple. And we have stuff to check how hard the boy slaps," the presenter said.

"This is stupid," Lucy mumbled, clenching her hands.

~Nobody's POV~

All the friends of Natsu and Lucy watched in fear for Lucy. "Uhmm... Gray-sama. Can Natsu smack hard?" Juvia asked.

Gajeel nodded along with Gajeel. "As much I hate to admit, he beat us easily," Jellal said.

The girls' eyes widened and Mira wanted to run to Lucy. But Erza stopped Mira. "Let me go. Lucy is in trouble. Especially if Natsu gives it his all," Mira said, concerned for her friend.

"I know. But let's have trust in both Natsu and Lucy. If we go there, that just shows we don't have faith in them," Erza said looking at Natsu and Lucy.
