I do not own Fairy Tail
Lucy watched as Natsu and Lisanna talked quietly in the corner. Quiet was never a good sign for the dragonslayer. Their hushed tones disturbed the stellar spirit mage. If it was that important they could talk somewhere else.
Mirajane was the one who noticed Lucy's aggravation. The white haired model made her way over to the girl. "What's wrong Lucy? You seem down lately…"
The blonde looked at the motherly woman. Lucy wondered if she could even tell Mira about her problem with Lisanna. If she did it might upset her. Everyone knows when Mira is mad that's never good. "I'm just not in the mood to be all happy. Why is there something I should be worried over?"
"Oh, nothing Lucy. I was just checking on you." Mira replied calmly. Though a twinge of guilt sparked in her belly. Mira had seen Lisanna and Natsu talking and knew why the girl was upset.
Lucy sat down at the table Levy was reading at. Her head plopped down onto her arms. After a few silent moments Lucy sighed. When Levy didn't respond, Lucy did it again.
"All right Lu-Chan. What's wrong?" Levy asked as she set down her book on the table.
Lucy spoke without hesitation, "Natsu and Lisanna have been talking non stop in that corner FOREVER. And quite frankly it's pissing me off. I've never really felt this way before. Is it normal? I just want to punch her and I'm being mean." Her face was once again on her arms.
Levy giggled at Lucy's confusion. Who knew Lucy was dense? "Maybe you're jealous, Lu-Chan."
A startled gasp left the girls lips. "I am NOT jealous! They are just talking! I just want to know what about! Is that so bad?"
Levy turned her gaze from Lucy. Her eyes made way over to Natsu and Lisanna. They both looked at Lucy then Natsu got up. He started to walk over to the person right next to Levy.
Lucy peered up at him. He smiled a bit. "Hey Luce. Come take a walk with me?"
~X~
They both walked in silence. Lucy looked down at the ground. Her face was sad and it didn't suit her.
Natsu spoke first. "Do you have any idea what I'm gonna say?"
She stopped in place. "Is it what you were talking so intently to Lisanna about?"
"Yeah."
"I was hoping to say this a lot more smoothly. I'm talking weird." He said while staring at the ground.
"I'm trying to keep it together so would you just say it." She felt the tears coming on.
"Luce what's wrong?" Natsu worriedly gripped her shoulder.
She shook it off. "If you're going to date her, whether telling me or not doesn't matter! I don't want to stick around to get hurt anymore than I already am!"
His face fell. Lips formed an O. Then a smirk appeared. "Really Luce? Really? You're crying because you think I was going to tell you I'm dating Lisanna?"
Lucy glared at the boy. Her tears stopping all together. "Yes."
Natsu chuckled. "That's cute."
"Cute?"
He stepped a few inches closer to Lucy. "That's cute, but you are beautiful."
Lucy blushed and turned away. "I think you're suffering from severe brain damage."
Their faces were only a few inches away from touching. Her brown eyes held his green eyes in an intense gaze. "Or not."
"So you and Lisanna, huh? Are you two a couple?" She tried to change the subject.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Natsu's teasing tone was annoying her.
"Not as much as you think."
He leaned in until their lips were barely grazing. "You know words can't compare what I feel for you."
Lucy bit her bottom lip. "Then show me." Natsu gently pressed his lips closer to hers and she returned the gesture.
