Anyway, I hope you enjoy! :D

~She was Sorcerer's Weekly's centerfold, and just the thought of other men looking at her, so scantily clad, made his blood boil.~

Cover Girl

Natsu frowned down at Sorcerer's Weekly, flipping the pages aimlessly as if he wasn't looking for anything in particular, or bothered by anything in particular, however he always ended up on the same page.

Lucy had lost a bet to Mira and had taken her place as the magazine's centerfold. Not only that, but it also featured a five page spread of her, posing half-naked in bathing suits and nightgowns. That, along with Lucy answering some very personal questions the reporters had asked. And as if that wasn't enough, at the end there was a small form that men who bought the magazine could fill out to win a date with Fairy Tail's one and only Lucy, Celestial Wizard extraordinaire.

When Lucy had told Natsu about her lost bet, he and Happy had guffawed endlessly. It was absolutely hilarious. Lucy would have to pose in the magazine she read so often, but had vowed she would never star in. Was she modest? Maybe. Natsu didn't know. But what he did know was that it was absolutely hysterical that she was going to be flaunted in front of the entire wizarding community, and undoubtedly she'd be embarrassed for years.

That's how it had been, until he'd actually seen it. Lucy had gone home early the day before, vowing not to show her face until the hype over the magazine had died down, but in the pictures she looked… far more confident. She didn't look like the blushing bumbling mess he expected. She looked like a pro.

And for some reason that rubbed him the wrong way.

Not that she could pull off a photoshoot just as professionally as Mira, but that anyone who looked at the magazine who didn't know Lucy, wouldn't have a second thought about her. They would drool and point and share with their friends the beautiful blonde woman on the pages. They wouldn't say "oh she's so embarrassed; that's so cute", they'd talk about how sexy she was.

And even the thought made Natsu's stomach churn.

That was his partner they'd be ogling over.

Lucy. Luce. His best friend and the one person he felt closest with. It was… gross. Horrible. No one should see her like that except him.

The thought sounded a little possessive but it was exactly how he felt. He'd seen her in skimpy clothing and hadn't given it a second thought in the past. She'd had to flaunt her beauty for jobs and quests; it was normal. But those things had only been in front of a few people. Not the entire city, or possibly even region. Would people on the other side of Fiore see his partner baring all? It was absolutely repulsive.

He grew nearly angry at the thought, snarling to himself before taking the wad of pages Lucy starred in and ripping them from the binding. It was disgusting. No one would see her like that if he could help it. He'd go across the region, taking the magazine out of people's hands, raiding book stores and kiosks, anywhere he could get a hand on that damned magazine he would, and he'd rip out Lucy's bit.

No one was going to see her like that, especially someone who wasn't him. Or even someone else in the guild for that matter. And no one, no one was going out on a date with her. She'd get some pervy guy, no doubt. There was no way Natsu could allow something like that to happen to her. It was just nauseating.

He stood up from his barstool with an angry huff, smacking the magazine closed. He crumpled Lucy's pages in his hand before tossing them into the air and blowing out a needlessly large fireball to disintegrate them. No one seemed to pay any attention; blowing fire for no reason was a norm for Natsu.

No one except Mira, that is. "My, my, looks like someone's not happy about Lucy's article," she giggled, leaning onto the bar. She winked. "Could someone be perhaps… jealous?"

His lip curled. "How can you do such revealing things in a magazine all the time," he growled.

She shrugged, placing her chin in her hands. "You get used to it. Lucy was nervous beyond belief."

"Well, she didn't look it," he snapped. His eyes scanning the guild to see if he could find another magazine to incinerate.

Mira poked him in the chest and he turned his attention back to the barmaid. "I think it's cute you don't want other people to see her like that. She might actually thank you if you went on a rampage and burned them all." She giggled again.

As much as he wanted to deny her words, he knew she knew exactly what he was thinking. She had some otherworldly sense when it came to… partners. Or something of the like. Natsu still didn't quite understand it.

"It's just gross," he spat. "Luce isn't like that. That isn't her in that magazine."

Mira raised an eyebrow before shoving herself off of the counter. "Well, you'd be the one to know," she grinned, a twinkle in her eye telling Natsu she was holding back something else she wanted to say. Undoubtedly about that 'jealousy' remark from before.

He stood, waiting for her to poke fun or scold him, but instead she shrugged.

"What're you waiting for? I'm not going to stop you from scouring the city for those magazines. In fact, I think it's sort of romantic," she smiled.

He was surprised, but he didn't have to be told twice, instead taking off into a run toward the guild doors, vowing to himself that not a single page of that damned magazine would live to see the light of another day.

So there it was! I hope you liked it! Natsu is such a sweetie, although I don't think he'd exactly be able to place the feeling of jealousy. Especially over a girl. ;D
