Dorm Sweet Dorm

Summary: Her neighbor keeps on blasting music until midnight to the point it disturbs Lucy, so she decides to make him pay. Apparently, it goes to a different direction she has never expected. NaLu College Dorm AU Two-shot

It happened again.

The person beside her dorm room, he did it again. He fucking blasted his music playlist with a ridiculous volume, every. Single. Night. And Lucy was not impressed.

You see, she was just a normal college student, wanting to ace every of her classes, but with how her neighbor acted, he could be the reason why she would fail. Of course, it wasn't an excuse for her father. He wanted straight A's as a compensation for letting her to get journalism as a major, so she wanted to prove it to him.

However, Magnolia University had a mixed dorm. She had heard some stereotypical stories about how boys being noisy in their dorm rooms, so she wasn't surprised either. But she disliked that fact anyway.

She groaned, opening the bedroom door leading to the living room to complain to Levy, her roommate, who was sitting on the couch.

"Levyyy! He did it again!" She whined, pointing at her wall.

"Who did what?" Levy asked, putting her book down.

Lucy blinked as her ears tried to focus on her surrounding. Holy shit, his music didn't even reach the living room! Well, it sounded distinct rather than loud. She should have studied here instead in her room. But, where else would she sleep? He was always awake until midnight!

"Our neighbor, more like the one that's beside my room, is an ass," she grunted. "He's been blasting music for a week non-stop. I have trouble sleeping and studying!"

"Have you told him about it?"

"No.. I was kind of scared. I mean, he has a roommate, I know their faces but I have never talked to them, and I don't know which one of them who did this!" She sighed dramatically. "One of them is cute, though," she mumbled.

Hell yeah, he was extremely cute, and she kind of had a crush at him. He had a pink hair, it was hard to not notice him. On several occasions, she had seen him around the campus and the dorm hallway. Once, they even stepped out of their dorm at the same time. She didn't know if he remembered her, but she recognized him despite having a different major. She assumed he was in the engineering program, having seen his hand-carried books.

But, even if he was cute, she should still suspect him as one of the culprit.

Levy laughed, feeling sorry for her, though her laugh implied otherwise. Suddenly, the blue haired girl smirked. "Oh, Lu-chan. Why don't you seek some revenge?"

"Like.. like what?" The blonde stuttered, noting to herself not to mess with Levy. She seemed innocent, but she could be sly.

Levy gestured to her room, "I have a bluetooth speaker and you'll get your revenge."

With that, Lucy's brown orbs sparkled in delight. Genius, she truly was!

"Oh, Levy, thank you!" She grinned devilishly as she ran to Levy's room to fetch it.

Giggling to herself, she closed her door so she wouldn't disturb Levy and prepared for the battle. This was going to be legendary—he'd pay for what he had started!

She began to play some upbeat songs in a wise volume to test it, but as if challenging her, her neighbor decided to play his music louder. She began to know the pattern; whenever she added more volume, he purposefully did the same. By the time she assumed he had set the loudest volume, she tried to think of a plan to defeat him because this was going nowhere.

Scrolling through her playlist, she searched for a loud music but she disliked those kind of genres... Wait, that's it! Smirking at her own thought, she opted to play some heavy metal music genres from Youtube instead.

"Ear plugs, otherwise I'd be deaf," she muttered to herself, wearing her ear plugs before she set the volume until maximum. She prepared for the worst, her thumb shakily pressed the play button, and bam.

Even with her ear plugs, it was so loud—she could tell from the rattle of her table. Lucy stiffled a laugh, feeling childish but she was amused indeed.

She then heard a sound of a heavy thing falling to the floor with a thud. She winced.

"GOD DAMMIT WOMAN! ARE YOU INSANE?"

Lucy gaped at a boyish voice yelling at her through her thin wall. Her nose scrunched in annoyance.

"HEY! YOU STARTED IT FIRST!"

"WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?"

"BLASTING MUSIC UNTIL MIDNIGHT! I COULDN'T EVEN SLEEP OR STUDY, JERK!"

Then she was met with silence, not because turning off the speaker, but her neighbor didn't respond anything. Lucy gasped in horror—oh Mavis, what should she do? What if he got mad? What if he called his friends and decided to bully her? What if she was sold as a slave and got dropped out of the campus—

She vaguely heard Levy opening the door for someone, and Lucy immediately went pale. Was it him?!

"Lu-chan, someone requires your presence," Levy said with a slightly sing song voice. Damn her!

Timidly, Lucy opened her door slightly to peek at the unexpected guest. Her jaw dropped at the sight. It was the pink haired guy with a totally bored look on his face. She was screwed. She just made that guy as an enemy! But then again he was being an ass, it wasn't her fault—!

"I know you'll be hiding so I'll drag you out anyway," Levy pulled a startled Lucy out of her room, pushing her back until she arrived in front of their guest while ignoring Lucy's small protests.

The blonde immediately faked a smile at him. "Um, you must have mistaken someone. So have a nice night—" as she prepared to slam the door in front of his face, he held it with his strong arms. Wait a second, why was he shirtless and showing off those gorgeous abs?

"Whoa, whoa, hold it," he frowned. "My name's Natsu and I just wanna talk."

"Don't you mean apologize, Natsu?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, emphasizing his name. Natsu's eyes followed her movement, coughing slightly.

"Don't you feel cold wearing that?"

Instantly she blushed, realizing she only wore her lacy night gown Cana bought for her as a present. She despised it at first, but it didn't hurt to dress a little even for herself. She regretted her choice of clothing a little tonight.

"Like you're one to talk!" Lucy screamed, trying to close the door again in which Natsu yelped.

Their rowdiness made other students along the hallway came out of their rooms to see the cause. Natsu and Lucy paid no mind, continuing their banter.

"Don't look at me you pervert!"

"I ain't a pervert!"

"I don't care, just go away, you jerk!"

"Why are you—" Natsu gritted his teeth, holding the door, but when Lucy tried to kick him, he successfully dodged it before realizing it was her attempt to distract him and close the door.

Lucy let out a relieved sigh, leaning on the door to hear if he gave up and went back to his room, but instead he yelled.

"Let's start over!" His voice was heard against the door. "Oi, you can hear me right, Lucy?"

He knows my name, Lucy widened her eyes.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel from the Chemical Engineering major, and I know you from one of my friends!" He literally shouted, his voice was slightly shaky. Lucy had a feeling that he still had audiences, yet he did this anyway.

That moron, she thought, ignoring butterflies in her gut.

"Yeah, I am the one who have been blasting music all week! But I didn't realize it would reach your room! So I'm sorry for that!" He continued to shout. "But I enjoy our music war earlier," she could hear the smirk in his voice, "though I'll have ya know that I have sensitive hearings so heavy metal and I don't match—"

"I've had it way worse for all week—" She responded before he interjected her quickly.

"However, I've liked you for some time now and I hope you'll forgive me! Because.. I can't stand the thought of you hating me. So please.." He stopped shouting and instead talked in a small voice.

Lucy felt her heart clench. He.. he liked her? Was this some kind of joke? Yeah, well, she couldn't really study and sleep all week, but after hearing his reasons...

"Are you.. are you serious?" Lucy asked hesitantly. This time, Natsu took several seconds to answer in an embarassed voice.

"Yeah, sorry if it's so sudden but I'm dead serious," he gave her a weak laugh. If she was focused enough, she could hear whispers from his 'audiences'. The girl didn't want to give them the impression that she had rejected him, so she opened the door fully to see his surprised face.

"Lucy?"

"Let me.. introduce myself, too," she muttered bashfully, aware of curious eyes and teasing smiles from other students. She blushed harder, avoiding Natsu's eyes.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia, majoring in Journalism. I-I've also known you for some time though I have never known your name but well, um, I kind of, maybe, like you too," she finally stared at him, seeing how his face lit up like an excited children. Oh, he was cute. "B-but just because you're hot I won't forgive you easily, jerk!"

At that, Natsu gave her a heart-stopping grin. "Don't worry, sooner or later you will. And by that, I meant tomorrow night at 7, at 8-Island Restaurant down town." He leaned against the door frame to wink at her.

"Oooooh!" Several choruses were heard from the audiences.

"SHUT IT!" Natsu said, his cheeks reddening.

Lucy giggled at the scene, finding this man forgivable already. Of course, she wouldn't give him the easy way.

"Mm, okay. But in one condition," she smiled so sweet it made Natsu worried.

"You still have to listen to my music all week, too."

"Crap, you're weird, but I really like you," Natsu sighed almost dreamily, earning a punch to the ribs from a more embarassed Lucy.

"I won't forgive you before I have my full revenge, remember that!"

"Can I have at least a kiss?" He pouted.

"Natsu, people are watching."

"So you wanna do it in private?" He smiled suggestively. Before she exploded, Levy, who had been watching their exchanges from the living room, stepped out of the dorm and saluted at Natsu. He gave her a grin before pulling Lucy into her dorm, closing the door and pushed her against it.

"You're unbelievable," Lucy breathed out, her eyes fluttering close as he leaned into her, tilted his head and molded their lips together. She sighed into his mouth, humming in contentment. She couldn't lie to herself that maybe, just a little, this was somehow worth the 'pain' she had endured for a week.

But then if she gave in too much, it would be no fun; so she snapped her eyes open and pushed him lightly.

"Wha—"

She jutted her tongue out, opening the door for him. "As a bonus, that kiss increased the chance of me forgiving you by 10%."

"Should I just kiss you for another 9 times to make it 100%?" He asked as he allowed himself to get kicked out, high fiving with Levy who returned to the living room.

"Not going to work twice," she grinned teasingly. "You'll still get a punishment tonight."

Natsu let out a laugh, already on his way to his room, before shouting his final words. "Please play some love songs, babe!"

"Thank you for the request," she said before glaring at the still lingering audiences. "The show is over, good night," the blonde said dryly before shutting the door and running to her room.

In the end, she couldn't hold her smile and squealed into the pillow.

Later, at 3 a.m., a heavy thud was heard once again with some groans of agony.

"LUCY! I SAID LOVE SONGS, NOT ANOTHER HEAVY METAL!"

Revenge was sweet.
