I sigh to myself while i hopelessly look out towards the guild's door, all i want to do in this shameful moment was hide from my problems, of course life just didn't let me get it that easy. My entire body was restrained by Mirajane's death grip keeping me on my spot, if that didn't make it worse she was closer than i would of have liked a demon to be. I quit struggling from my upcoming fate and decided to deal with it like any other day. Not like i would give her the satisfaction anyway though- i was raised much better than that.
"Lucy~" Mira sang. Her eyes had pink hearts in them, this of course freaked me out more than usual. It was Mirajane we we're talking about, weird was the least of the words anybody can use to describe her.
"No!" I say firmly. My body posture rigid and uncomfortable in the situation. "why didn't she quit?" I hopelessly cried in my head. "Leave it for the matchmaker to do her job alright."
She didn't seem to see how troubled i was, only pressuring me further. "Come on!"
"Nobody! I do not like anybody!" I screamed out exasperated, i would have swung my arms in the arm if i could. Couldn't she just quit already.
"Liar, there are too much cute boys after you for you not to like any of them." Mirajane stated. She didn't know how much i wanted to deny it, no matter how much she WAS actually right for once.
"Name me who?" I asked. Mira let me out of her killing hug, and i quickly walked to the other side of the room away from her as much as possible.
"Natsu has liked you since forever! Not to mention Grey, although please don't tell Juvia, he loves her but has a huge crush on you too-" My eyebrow rose, i could only smirk internally. I lean on the wall and cross my hands over my shest.
"Those cuties Sting and Rogue from Sabertooth think of you as the bomb while Laxus loves you almost as much as Natsu-" I interrupted her this time.
"You're saying all of this bluntly Mira, i don't think the boys would be happy~" I tease. She frowned.
"What are you going on about?" She asks me. I walked towards her, and only stopped when i was facing her face to face. There was a smug look plastered on my face, i looked at Mirajane directly in the eyes- brown meeting light blue.
"They trusted you to keep their secrets and here you are blabbering them all out to me, they won't be happy, of course you,re probably making all of this up." I said. The look on Mira's face at that moment was worth all my jewels. I would've liked to stay to laugh but deciding that i had won the conversation, i walked out of the guild kitchen, into the guild hall smugly.
To the far corner of the room, i saw two three bluenettes and a cat sitting at a table happily talking in between each other. "I wonder what's been going on with them?" I thought making my way towards their table, avoiding expertly the random barrels and objects that came flying my way. Though it was sad to admit, i had gotten used to Fairy Tail's uniqueness, sounded like i didn't have any social life except in here.
" Luce!" Yelled a pink haired idiot, running towards me at fast speed. The idiot salamander was wearing his usual outfit and scarf, that annoying smile plastered all over his face everything he saw me was there again. Turning my head away i sprinted to Grey and hid behind him.
" Please help!" I whispered in grey's ears. Grey tensed at the sudden contact. I didn't really care though and only got closer to him.
" 'What is it?" He asked. I point my finger at Natsu who was currently looking around the guild for someone (aka me)
" That little peace of flame, i told him to leave you alone." Grey growled in a possessive matter. That's when what Mirajane had told me came back to me, did Grey actually...No. He was surely worried that's all.
" To make sure he didn't annoy me?" i asked him curiously.
Grey just blushed and looked away from my face. " S-sure."
I was about to thank him until i saw Natsu spot me and start running my way again. "I have to go now Grey." I told him quickly, and bolted.
I wasn't so sure where i was running too by now; i was busy dodging more crates and body's flying around everywhere. "This sure can get annoying." I mentally sigh, not paying close attention to my surroundings i bump into somebody. More like a chest with a full sized six pack, a blush unknowingly rose to my face.
"Uh-uh." I stutter. "Damn it Lucy hold yourself together!" I chastised myself once again. I looked up at the person now holding me tightly against him. I saw a familiar blonde. I immediatly thought of Mira's confession. Why Laxus out of everyone?
"I'm sorry! I wasn't looking where i was going!" I apologize, "I should get going-" I say backing away from him and walking past him trying hopelessly to avoid further embrassement on my part. However before i could walk away, Laxus's hand darts out and grips my wrist tightly holding me back. "Please take a hint and get that i don't like you." If Mira compared him with Natsu, he had to seriously like me.
I look up at him with much effort. The first thing i noticed was his cheeks a dark red.
"I wanted to ask you something. Would you go on a-" He stopped halfway trough his sentence, hs cheeks getting darker by the moment.
"What?" I asked.
"N-nothing." He says and lets go of my arm. I immediately get away from him as fast as i can.
"Can this day get worse." I whisper to myself. Mirajane's words we're stuck in my head like bubblegum on the sidewalk. "At least Rogue and Sting aren't here." I muse.
From the corner of my eye i see Wendy, Juvia, Levy and Carla. "Finally peace and quiet!"
"Hey guys, how have you been doing!" I exclaimed, walking over towards my friends. I squeezed myself in between Wendy and Juvia, setting my cup down for a moment.
"Bad." Snorts Juvia, as if it was something obvious to know. I noticed the way her potition was different than usual; with her shoulders tensed, jaw tight, back rigid and her eyes twitching from place to place as if somebody was going to attack out of the blue. Her body was working offensive. I was going to ask her what was wrong, but Juvia just gave me a glare saying. If you want to live don't open your mouth. I changed the topic fast.
"Yeah..." The usually bright, cute Wendy was sulking glumly.
"So, i wanted to know if you wanted to take a mission with you guys!" I said.
"Are you sure miss Lucy? What about team Natsu?" Wendy asked. My bangs shadowed over my face when Wendy mentioned him, my knuckles tightened and i remembered clearly what she told me about Natsu. "Natsu has liked you since forever". I knew it was probably true, yet i couldn't accept it. I saw both Natsu and Grey as friends and not more, family and not lovers. I knew that running away from the fact that they liked me wouldn't help, but i didn't want anything to change in between us..
"-cy, Lucy!" Yelled Levy in my ear, i jumped back from surprise and head bumped her in the forehead.
" Òw!" The short bluenette grumbled on the floor. " What was that for?" I wanted to apologize until i was interrupted.
" 'That's it! Before it was Juvia, Wendy and now you Lucy! i can't take it anymore. What is wrong with both of you?" Levy points accusingly at us. I frown about to retorque viciously before Juvia cut me off. "We all know what's the problem." Her features we're deadly serious." I've been having dreams..."
"No way you too!" I said shocked, recalling my previous dreams at night, the strange ones were i would be facing a dragon in the middle of majestic forest. She didn't recall much more than that, but if Juvia was having the same dreams then..
"What did you dream about exactly?" Wendy asked, as if she read my mind and knew what i was about to ask. Her eyes held interest in them, the wind dragon slayer was obviously curious and on peak at the moment, just like me and Levy were.
"There was this White dragon..."
"H-how can this be? This is impossible!" Levy muttered in daze. By the look on her face, anybody would guess that she was as surprised as Wendy and me, and probably also has had the same dream. Levy looked around our surroundings making sure that they're wasn't anybody close enough to hear us, or even make out the thick atmosphere hanging around us, even the dragon slayers. We huddled in a small circle, whispering to each other, and looking around once or twice behind our shoulders like paranoid people.
"What if our dreams were connected!" Wendy said. Even i knew that that was the only way this could have happened. What kind of magic cold this be, what if somebody wanted us to see this for a reason? Something hit me in the face, a sudden realization dawning on me.
"Wait." I said getting everybody's attention. "Juvia said she saw a white dragon...well i saw a red dragon."
"And me an orange dragon." Levy said.
"While i saw a violet dragon." Wendy said.
"This is kinda like one of those crazy drama books i read. I admit it, my life will change from this day on, for better or worse?" I said dramatically, putting a hand over my head and leaning against Juvia who was glaring daggers at me (i didn't see it, i felt the coldness of her stare. Scary~)
"This isn't time to play Lucy."
"Oh isn't it Juvia, isn't it?" By now Juvia was silently fuming, trying not to bring to much attention to herself. Though she was literally making smoke come out from her head. Levy and Wendy just sweatdropped at the way they we're ignored during the whole exchange, standing on the side as chibi's.
My face got deadly serious. "Let's promise that we'll never talk about this like ever, capich?" The girls nod, shacking under my sudden change of mood. An evil aura surrounded me, and i shuckled quietly to myself, freaking the others out.
"I-is miss Lucy okay Levy?"
"Yep! She's lost it, went in the deep end and there's no getting her back."
"Hai." Juvia gave a sad nod in the direction of the still chuckling girl. The ones you give when you find out a relative just suicided, the it's-too-late-to-do-anything look.
"T-that doesn't help much."
"Just accept it as a fact kid, when she's like this she's diablo version 2.0" Juvia added.
"S-she's still laughing! It's creepy!"
"This is definitively not ending well."
Little do they know, somebody was listening to their whole conversation...
