I do own the idea for the fic though.

Introduction.

(A I.-.-.I Kuroyagi I.-.-.I original fan-fiction story.)

"Okay, this is very simple, I write the scripts and you play them in an already set-up stage…" I said to the gathered people in front of me, earning from questioning to surprised looks; even some complaints about why they had to do so when I wasn't from the guild or a contractor. I sweatdropped and scratched the back of my head nervously, I was never good at talking to a good amount of people… especially people that I didn't know from before. "W-well, you see, I have this dream of being a famous writer… but writing only about what I do, won't interest people into reading my material; so I need people to play the scripts that I write to give fame to my work…"

More grunts and negatives to my proposal, I sighed, I knew that it wasn't going to be easy but I was hoping for some people to accept and convince the others into participating. I waited for the group to quiet down so I could talk, coughing in my fist before trying another speech to persuade them.

"Look, if it is about a money issue, then I can solve it… I have a very extensive account that allows me to pay each and every one of you a sum big enough to make you forget about working for a year…" Some ears perked up at this, I frown at their greedy thinking but shrugged it out; I was getting close to get what I wanted. "And if it is about time, the scenes that I'm planning won't consume much of your time, say, about one or two hours a day…"

They grew quiet, whispering amongst themselves for a good amount of time before turning to me with nods and affirmative shouts about doing what I requested. I smile embarrassed, giving a small thumb up to them before talking again.

"Great! Then we'll start with it by tomorrow afternoon!" Everyone cheered at my exclamation, making me more embarrassed and shy. But I sum it up quickly to announce what I needed to say to them before taking my leave. "You're amazing guys! Now then, the scripts that I got are centered on one couple that I'll decide during the course of the night, and the title of the first scene is…"

I looked at the script in my hand and paled, this wasn't a good way to start the job with these people. I shifted in looking at the script and the people in front of me for a few minutes, until I finally got the courage to say the title.

"The first scene is… Love…"

I saw their faces paling in shock and fear, a gust of wind making them move like they were planted to the ground.

I sighed tiredly.

They were going to be 4 hard months these that were about to come.

Later that day…

I saw the sun setting through the window of my apartment, the people finishing with whatever thing they were doing to go home quickly and have dinner with their families. Very normal, surprisingly normal when one sees that this is the town in which the craziest and destructive guild of all Fiore is established.

I frown at the stupidity that I displayed today in front of those people, I was supposed to show confidence and whatnot to make them respect me… but instead, I had to resort to money to make them comply.

There was a hard knock coming from the door. I looked back from the window to the entrance with a mildly shock expression, then I smiled.

My counselors were here already.

I got up from my position on the window and walked hurriedly to the door, opening it for my two guests to enter, they walked calmly towards my living room and sat on my couch like they own the place; thing that didn't bother me since I like to treat people the same way that I would like to be treated. They were the two most important members of the guild, Master Makarov and Gildartz Clive.

"I'm glad that you could come," I said while grabbing a chair from the kitchen and dragging it to sit in front of the two men, earning an unreadable look from both of them. "I needed your advice regarding the couple thing for the job…"

"I see, and how are we going to help you?" Said the short old man while nodding to my words, crossing his arms in front of him while expecting an answer to his question; I took the book with the themes for my project and handed it over to the two. While they eyed the book, I took time to explain the situation to them.

"The decision about what couple is going to be the chosen one is mine but I cannot decide with just the name list that you gave me, I need some background to make the right choice. Otherwise, it'll be a disaster that my readers and editor will not even want to remember…"

"So... how do we do it?" The tall man said while scratching his stub and eyeing the book of themes over the other's shoulder, I looked up in wonder until something came to my mind.

"Well; you can start by telling me the name of the guys in your guild that are in more than good terms with most of the female population of the place… That'll help me reduce the options…" Both men started to think at my idea, not taking long to give me an answer.

"Hmm, those would be Gray and Natsu…" Said Gildartz after some thinking, the old man nodding to his answer, I move my chair closer to my desk and looked for the list that I received earlier that day; I searched for both names and marked them to have them as options. I nodded after doing it and turned around to look back at the mages, another question in my mind.

"Great! Now, the same question for the girls…" Both shook their heads in negative, I raise an eyebrow at the answer. "What's wrong?"

"All the girls get along well with the boys…" Makarov said while frowning, Gildartz nodding at his side in agreement; I frown at the setback. I turned to look the list of names again and then started to throw possible pairings.

"Okay then; it seems that we will have a long night ahead, guys… I'll name a couple and you'll give me your opinion, okay?" Looking over my shoulder, I saw them nod at my proposal and standing up to make some coffee they perked their ears up to hear the couples. While they did that, I started to recite the names. "Gray or Natsu and… Mirajane?"

"Hmm, is not bad but I think that Mira already has something going on with Freed…" I heard Makarov said from the kitchen.

"Gray or Natsu and Levy McGarden?"

"Gajeel is going to butcher Gray like raw meat… And it'll be worse if it's with Natsu…"

"Gray or Natsu and… Laki Olietta?"

"She'll drive them insane… literally, more than what they are already…"

"Damn… Then Gray or Natsu and Cana Alberona?"

"Hell no!" I was literally thrown off my chair by the scream that the tall man gave to me, it seemed like the option was out of the question; standing up and sitting back on my chair I continued with the names… each and every one of them being discarded by different reasons.

"Gray or Natsu and Evergreen?"

"They'll kill themselves when they see either of their names along with hers…"

"Gray or Natsu and Juvia Lockstar?"

"It could work with Gray but she's not mentally ready for the job… She's a tad bit of obsessed with him already and she'll probably act indifferent towards Natsu…"

"Gray or Natsu and Lisanna?"

"It could work with Natsu; more than with Gray, but it'll be too fluffy; the readers will probably read the first ten themes and later grow bore of the story…" Makarov said expertly to me; much to Gildartz and I surprised expressions, like he was a genius in this class of things… Well, being the leader of a guild in which everyone knows everyone and one keeps an eye out for anything must bring some experience to this matter, right? Besides, he was old, he probably knew a lot from past experience. I nodded at his advice and brought my eyes back towards the list, there were fewer names than when I started.

"O-okay, then Gray or Natsu and Bizca Mulan?"

"She has feelings for Alzack Connell, which he returns but doesn't confess…"

"Gray or Natsu… and… Wendy Marvell?"

"She's too young… regrettably…" Both said while sighing, I sweatdropped at the reaction; but returned to the task at hand, there were less names than before.

"Gray or Natsu… and Lucy Heartfilia?" Both men started to think hard at the option I said, making me turn around to watch them debate on the subject in between themselves until they turned to me with shaking heads. I sighed in defeat… but then Makarov coughed on his fist to call my attention.

"Tell us, who are the last girls on the list?" I raise an eyebrow at the question, but complied nonetheless; turning around to look at the list and see which names weren't scratched.

"Eh… Well… Erza Scarlet is the other one left on the list, besides Heartfilia…" Turning back to them, I found them whispering among each other again before nodding seriously and turning to me with such serious looks that I swear I felt the intensity of them. "Y-you came up with something…?"

"Yes, we have, we think that you should make it with Natsu and Erza as the main couple…" Makarov stated first.

"With Gray and Lucy as the secondary couple; if that's okay with you, that is." Finished Gildartz for Makarov before ending his third cup of coffee of the night, I looked at the sealing after hearing their proposal; it could work, right? For what I heard, he was carefree and reckless meanwhile she was strict and careful. They were both impatient when it came to matters of work, not caring to destroy a few things or leave some people unconscious when trying to get answers. But if I were to guide my choice through that, then I could put Gray and Erza together too… right?

"Do they have more than just opposite personalities?" They nodded to me but that was it. "Hmm, I'm trying to get answers, guys…"

"We know, but we cannot tell you; their personal lives are theirs and unless they're fine with it, we cannot tell you…" The tall man said, leaving me to think for a while… until something came to my mind.

"Okay, don't tell me, but let's do the next; tomorrow I'll post the names in the guild's job board and let them know about my choices… but not when I'll start with the job…"

"You mean… to let them interact on their own after letting them know that they could be a couple?" Makarov said while closing his eyes and dropping his head in thinking, Gildartz doing the same but supporting his head on the hand which arm was laid on top of the couch's armrest.

"Yes, they'll start to question themselves the possibilities of that ever happening, and; luckily, they will develop feelings for each other more naturally too if they take it to heart…"

"It's risky, but I think that it could work if 'we' do our part…" The brunette said with a smirk after some further thinking of my idea; Makarov nodding with a big grin from his part. I stood up from the chair with a triumphant look in my face and gave a thumb up to the men in front of me.

I now knew what I needed to do to succeed.

The next day…

I entered through the doors of the guild calmly, my face devoid of any possible emotion and my posture firm for what I was about to do; all the members were gathered in the main hall, looking at me with questioning eyes that I disregarded while walking to the job board. I looked back from over my shoulder, letting an evilly smile display in my face before Gildartz and an oversized Makarov stood behind me to cover me while I hanged the poster.

"It's done." I said to my counselors after a minute, nodding to them appreciatively before heading out of the guild through the main door; they nodded back and went to sit on the stools of the bar, looking how all the members ran to see which was my choice for the job.

To say that they were shock would be a lie; I saw how everyone was surrounded by a dark gloomy aura after minutes of witnessing my choice. When they stopped and turned to return to their seats, I saw some with relief expressions, some others with sad faces for not being chosen and most of them with terrified expressions.

Oh, this was going to be fun.

Now I just had to wait for the actors to enter and see for themselves… the choice that I made.

To be continued.
