A/N: Assume that the story happened 5 years after the Edolas Arc without the weird happenings that happened on the current arc of the manga and anime. This is my first Fairy Tail fic.

Summary: When she decides to confess her feelings, everything becomes complicated.
Confession Misconceptions
Chapter 1: It's almost Valentine's Day
It's another Sunday night. Lucy is at her usual place at the guild while everyone else is being their usual self. Natsu and Gray are throwing insults to each other, Elfman blabbing about being a man, Jet and Droy cheering on Levy while Gajeel gives them a disgusting stare, Erza eating her strawberry cake with Wendy and Charle at her side talking about something. She took a bite on the cake she ordered and suddenly remembered something horrible. She frowned at the thought which is unfortunately noticed by Mirajane.
"Is something wrong Lucy?" Mira asked flashing a smile with a hint of worry.
"Oh nothing,I just remembered its February again" the blonde calmly responded and the woman in front of her understood everything.
"Aah, Lucy-chan, Valentine's is not a special day for us mages. Although for some who have their special someone, it is somewhat important."
"Hm. I know that Mira-san but still, I can't help but think that I've never had any boyfriend up until now! It's kind of frustrating. I mean c'mon I'm turning 23 this year. Is there something wrong with me? " she snorted looking at Mira who is now wiping another one of those white porcelain plates.
"Really? I didn't know that and I thought you had Natsu" then Mira smiled sheepishly.
Lucy didn't think twice to answer, "Mira-san, I thought we've closed that matter years ago." The celestial mage's anger turned into embarrassment shifting her eyes to Natsu who is still doing his childish act with Gray. But something just happened, her face had been stamped at the cake she is eating, realizing that Natsu's back rammed with her back making her upper body fell on the bar counter. She gasped and tidies her face up.
"Definitely impossible" she muttered as she shuddered with annoyance.
"But I still think you two would be a good match" the shape shifter added and let off a little chuckle.
"Eh?" the celestial mage pouted.
After being exhausted, she finally decides to go home. But when she got home, she instantly shrieked in disbelief.
"Aaaahhhhh. My room!" she shouted "You really like barging in my house, don't you?"
Natsu, who is seated at Lucy's chair stood up, putting both of his warm hands on Lucy's shoulder. "Yo Lucy! I have something important to tell you"
She was sure she had blushed a little "What do you want tell me?"
"Meet me at the South Park on Tuesday night, 9pm. Okay?" he muttered as he shows off her favorite smile, he opened the window and jumped nonchalantly. She feels her heart beats unusually fast and told herself "I don't like where this is going."
This had happened before. Don't expect anything from him Lucy.
After her weird talk with Natsu, nothing peculiar happened and another typical day had just freely passed on like a blur. Lucy just woke up from her slumber. The sky is so clear. It is Tuesday morning and it's that time of the year where couples enjoy themselves but not for our young blonde. She just wishes for her team to grab a job today so she won't have to spend the day alone full of unnecessary thoughts. During these past few years she had been into missions every Valentine's Day but now with Natsu having his lazy bone again, what will she do? She knows that Erza and Jellal would probably meet up on some secret place and Gray was forced to have a date with Juvia and Natsu. Natsu huh? I wonder what he's up to since he asked me to meet him tonight at the South Park.
Lucy's imagination
She was walking towards the park, wearing her maroon empire dress emphasizing the curves of her body. She saw him, wearing a tux, holding a bouquet of pink roses then he turned around to face her.
"Lucy, please sit down"
She didn't notice the chair in front of her. Not only the chair, there's also a table with a bottle of red wine and two plates of medium-rare steak. Her heart is still racing; she cannot even utter a single word.
They both sat down and out of the blue Natsu showed her a heart-shaped box, he opened it and her eyes saw a ring, an infinity ring.
"Lucy, I love you and I want you to be mine forever"
Wait! This is wrong! Why am I exaggerating things again? Don't expect Lucy, don't. She reminded herself as she looks at her reflection on the mirror and after that she leaves her house to go to her favorite guild.
She opened the door of the guild. The guild looked pretty normal as always, very messy and of course the members are always noisy. She started walking along the spaces between the tables of the café and spotted Gray. Sitting beside him, of course is Juvia. Deciding to drop by, she continues to walk to their direction, the celestial keeper overhears Juvia and Gray's conversation that are just two tables away from her now.
"Gray-sama, Juvia is so excited for our date later. Ah, this is the happiest day of Juvia's life" as the water mage beamed with extreme happiness but then she added "Gray-sama, you're not planning to ditch Juvia, are you?"
"Huh? Well I've got to do it since I lost to Mira-san. However, I still don't see the hard part on having a dinner with you." Gray quickly responded totally clueless about Mira's intention.
At this point Lucy is now standing in front of them. She was in her usual shorts and sleeveless top. She looked at both of them, Gray who is surprisingly wearing something, and Juvia with her nun outfit and then she let out a "Hi". Juvia grimaced in annoyance thinking that Lucy just ruined her moment with his Gray-sama.
"Hey Luce, what's up?" Gray swiftly asked.
"You know nothi'n much. I'm quite bored actually. I just wished Natsu would decide to go on a job again." and she crosses her arms, laying it out on the table and positioning her head sideways in between them . Being alone on Valentine's Day isn't going to pay her rent. She needs a freaking job.
"Tch. That idiot, he doesn't seem to be doing that anytime sooner" his voice muffled under his shirt. The stripper is unconsciously taking off his shirt again.
"Is there something wrong with Natsu-san?"
Gray shows off a smirk "Nah, he's just being lazy." Lucy raised her head and she added with low voice "Way too lazy! Uhm Gray, your clothes"
At that exact moment, Natsu is now entering the guild with Happy. She is thinking of calling him to talk about getting a job but too late, Natsu's left arm was enveloped by Lisanna's right arm. She just watched them normally as they have a seat on the bar stools with Happy following them. They were both talking about something the blonde couldn't relate into. She was about to lay her head in between her crossed arms again when, she heard something that caught her attention.
"Natsu, let's have a dinner later"
She was sure those words weren't spoken as loud as she had heard them. Now that's odd. Assuming that Natsu wouldn't turn down any offer from Lisanna, she considered her appointment with Natsu tonight had just been canceled. It was the right thing to do. She laid her head down but this time facing an open space, hearing no other sounds, only her thoughts. Just when she thought she has something different to do this day. Either way she's happy for both of them but leaving her with nothing to do is definitely not fun and with that she felt a little sleepy. Wanting to rest, she decided to go home early. On her way home, she saw one of their guild members.
"Gajeel" she gazed at him hiding on a nearby tree, wondering what he's up to. He was in a chocolate shop.
"That's strange" she muttered to herself "I never thought Gajeel has a -. Wait! Why am I hiding? I'm not stalking him. This is totally ridiculous" she complained.
After feeling like a total idiot, she continued walked until she reached her apartment. Knowing she's already near, she rummaged for her key on her pink purse. When she raised her head, she saw someone familiar; it's not her usual trespassing gang that she saw. Standing in front of her door was a slim man with a bouquet of red roses, his hair is light brown in color falling over his forehead and he is wearing a light blue dress shirt matching his dark blue suit. She just stared at him in awe. The man in front of her smiled and she can't help but say his name.
"Hibiki"
