Is it real?
It was just a usual day at Fairy Tail, the two immature boys fighting (Natsu and Gray of course), Juvia ogling at Gray, Levy with Gajeel and Happy trying to impress Charles. The only unusual thing was that Lucy was sitting at the bar looking so bored. Usually, she would either scold Natsu and Gray for fighting aimlessly or chatting with Levy about her new novel. But today, she just sat down alone at the bar. She sighed and laid her head on the table. Mira came over and greeted her," Good afternoon, Lucy. Why are you looking so sad?"
"Eh? It's nothing. Just that everyone has something to do while I am sitting down here daydreaming."
The white-haired mage heard this and replied with a teasing smile "Call for Loki then, I'm sure he will brighten up your day. Ask him to bring you out on a date or something." "Date? But-"
Poof! "You called me princess?" a familiar voice said. "No, I didn't. I didn't even summon you." "Oh? But your heart did, my princess." Lucy was starting to get irritated. "Just shut up and get back to the spirit world." Loki shook his head. "Not when my princess needs me to bring her out on a wonderful date." "I don't need you now!" Lucy immediately protested. "Stop with all this flirting and get back to your spirit world! Don't make me do a force closure!" Lucy stood up angrily. Loki was a little surprised by her reaction. "Alright alright. Just call me when you need me." In a split second, he was gone. Lucy sighed again and sat down on the chair. Mira served an orange juice. "Why did you give him such a big reaction? It's not like you. You usually treat your spirits well." Lucy just kept quiet and sipped her water."Mirajane persisted, "Come on, tell me about it okay?" "Well Mira-san. I'll tell you but promise me you would'nt tell anyone okay?" Mira nodded her head. The spirit mage was a little doubtful but whispered into Mira's ear anyway.
-In the spirit world-
Loki sat down and sighed. "What's wrong, Onee-San?" A gentle voice broke his thoughts. "Hi Aries. Umm…I was just thinking about Lucy. She was so angry at me today. I didn't do anything wrong, did I?" the Lion spirit asked. "Sumimase...But I saw what had just happened. She might be in a bad mood or something."
"But she was SOOOOOOOOO angry at me that she wanted to do a force closure. That's so unlike her."
"I think the problem is Hime-sama doesn't like you to say those cheesy and cliché lines to her."
"But whatever I told her comes from the bottom of my heart." The yellow-haired spirit said.
"Hmm….That could be the problem. It could be because she thinks that you are not serious and just playing around with her. Sorry to ask this you question. But…but… do you really like Lucy-Sama?"
"Of course I do! I-"
"Then show it to her!" His sentence was cut off by Aries.
After listening to Aries, he finally understood why Lucy always ignores him whenever he confessed that he loves her. She thought that he was joking but he was actually very serious about what he said although he puts on a smile whenever he says those cheesy lines. He promised himself to let Lucy know that he's serious.
"Thanks, Aries."
"Hai…."
-Back in Fairy Tail-
"So that's why you're so angry. Why don't you tell him then?" Mira asked.
"Because….he's a spirit and I'm his master. I don't want to fall in deeper."
"But he will think that you are angry with him for some other reasons."
"I know…but that's the only way to keep him away from me."
The white-haired mage frowned. She had a feeling that many misunderstandings will happen. "Poor Loki…Ok, but don't be too harsh with your words next time ok?" Lucy nodded her head and sighed again.
