notes2: I don't know why but I love School AUs, even though they're pretty common.
notes3: I may or may not like chemistry a bit, too.
notes4: And besides, this is the only subject I can totally see Natsu actually being good at (maybe with the exception of gym or recess/lunch lol).
notes5: For Captain Ea Rayos! Hope you like it (even though it's short)!
disclaimer: HAHAHA unless Mashima-san is a weird, young girl, I don't think he's me.
summary: See, Natsu? When we do things together, sparks fly—or, well, experiments burn but that's basically the same thing!

One thing people wouldn't ever expect from Natsu was that he was good at chemistry.

Goggles making his eyes bigger (and, she wouldn't admit it, making him cuter), he focused all his attention on their current experiment. "Lucy," he said, lifting the beaker to his eyes for a better look, "I hear a lot of people say we have chemistry." His eyebrows knitted under the glass in bafflement. "What does that mean?"

But he was still dense as a rock.

She almost dropped the test tube she was examining onto the bench. Sputtering for a few seconds and fighting back a blush, she turned to him with a flustered expression. "Why would—why would anyone say that?!"

"How should I know?" he said, looking at her with a raised brow, "Maybe because we do chemistry experiments together? So, you know, right now we do have chemistry."

She resisted the urge to smack herself (because that would, effectively, spill this possibly-dangerous chemical solution on her face) or Natsu (because he might lose more of his brain cells and be even more of an idiot than he already was). Really, how was he better than her in chemistry? "I think they meant we look good together."

"Yeah, so?" Natsu said too immediately, looking at her indifferently, "I don't care about that."

She raised an eyebrow at him, doubtful. "Really?"

He maintained the cool composure he had. "Really."

"Natsu?" She called to him after a moment of silence and just staring.

"Yeah?"

"You put the wrong chemical and now the solution's on fire."

"Oh, shit!"

While Natsu smothered the fire, she hid an amused smile behind her hand. Natsu had never failed an experiment before. It was one of the few things he actually poured all his focus and attention to. She was almost certain he was distracted, and the thought made her laugh even more.

Didn't care about it, her ass.

notes: I have nothing to say.
notes2: I hope you do, though (if you know what I mean ;) *nudgenudge*)
notes3: On an end note (see what I did there? haha I'm lame), I really hope you at least enjoyed this, Captain Ea Rayos!
