Lucy's POV
I sat in front of the computer, my heart pounding loudly. I took deep breaths as I continued typing. I was talking to Natsu, my crush. We were friends, our whole group was close friends, but that didn't mean I was close to him… yeah we talked and stuff… but we were kinda awkward around each other. I had liked him for a while now, almost the whole year, but I didn't think he felt the same as I did. My best friend Lisanna was Natsu's closest girlfriend, she said that we were like a movie couple, the couple that was too dense to realise each other's feelings. This gave me a little bit of hope… but I felt like he liked someone else… Even though Sanna knew who Natsu liked, she still teased us together… and Natsu acted aloof as always. He was sending me mixed signals… I never knew if he liked me or not.
Though today, we were chatting over the internet, and I told him that I couldn't figure him out. That I couldn't solve him… In return he gave me a riddle, he said he'd tell me the answer next year. He said that he changed personalities, depending on how he feels about the person. I loved riddles, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to figure him out… if I wanted to get my heart broken.
Lucy: I dunno if I wanna figure you out though.
It was true, if I did… it meant I would discover his feelings.
Natsu: I just gave it away… pretty much.
I sighed as I read his reply, I didn't understand. I wasn't good at reading people.
Lucy: I'm not good at these things though. One of the things I like about you is that you're so interesting.
I hit enter and my breath hitched. Wasn't that an indirect confession?! I didn't know what to think as I wish that I could erase my last sentence. He didn't let it bother him as he replied.
Natsu: Interesting how? 5 ways I'm interesting.
Well you're so nice… and funny… but I couldn't say that.
Lucy: Basically… Interesting means that I can't predict what you'd say, you're so different.
I could imagine him laughing on the other side of the screen.
Natsu: I feel special… I'm different, haha XD. Achievement unlocked – different!
I smiled at his reasoning, yes you're very special… I began to type my first point.
Lucy: So when you say something that makes me happy, it makes me really happy because I wasn't expecting it.
He quickly answered,
Natsu: Fair enough. (2nd point)
I gathered up my courage and went to the next point,
Lucy: Another is, you don't treat me how the other guys treat me, like they're scared of me or something, or they're too gentlemanly. I guess you're in between that, it's like the perfect balance.
I wasn't sure how he'd react to that… if he was as dense as I thought he was he wouldn't pick up on it.
Natsu: Not sure if that a compliment.
My eyes widened and my hands quickly hit the keys,
Lucy: It's a compliment. That's a good thing.
He began to joke around about how he couldn't believe I gave him a compliment. I laughed to myself, this is the kind of idiot I fell for.
Luyc: Well did you want me to continue?
Natsu: Sure thing, if you want to that is.
I smiled, he's kinda considerate…
Lucy: I'll give you 2 or 3 more.
I thought of the next point,
Lucy: I dunno how, but you always seem to keep me in a good mood. Like I can't get pissed at you.
He didn't quite get it because he soon replied,
Natsu: Explain?
I sighed, I didn't want to be too obvious…
Lucy: I like your weirdness.
Natsu: I know
Lucy: Why would I get annoyed at something I like?
More like someone I liked, I thought to myself.
As we kept talking, I saw a window of opportunity opening for me. This was the perfect time to confess! My heart shook, but he doesn't like me… I saw my friend Levy had logged on and I quickly started a chat with her.
Lucy: Levy-chan! I have the perfect opportunity to confess to this guy… but I dunno if I should.
I blushed as I talked to her.
Levy: OUO. Is this the guy I think it is?
Lucy: Yeah, probably.
I could bet she was squealing as she typed.
Levy: That's so cute!
I frowned,
Lucy: I dunno if he likes me though. Help me T-T.
I explained to her how I was listing 5 things that I liked because he's interesting.
Lucy: I'm on my last one now.
I hope I wasn't keeping Natsu waiting too long…
Levy: So Lu-chan wants the last one to be a confession, or a hint?
I thought to myself before answering,
Lucy: I dunno which one it should be. I've been dropping so maybe hints, I dunno if he's dense or if he's just ignoring it because he doesn't like me.
She didn't really know how to help me, so she just cheered me on as I went in for the kill. I wasn't going to confess, but I guess I should just get rejected now and get over it…
Lucy: Natsu, I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to be brutally honest with me.
I didn't know if he could tell how serious (and nervous) I was when he replied.
Natsu: Okay. I'll be honest with you.
I wasn't sure how I should start…
Lucy: Do you know who I like?
I slapped myself in the head, that's such a stupid thing to say. I could've done so many other things… and this is what I say.
Natsu: No. I really don't. But I'm kinda curious, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
I took a deep breath.
Lucy: I do want to tell you. But I don't have the guts to get rejected by you.
I dropped a huge hint, but he didn't get it…
Natsu: I wouldn't reject you. I would never reject nakama.
I sighed,
Lucy: You don't get it do you?
I prepared myself for the worst.
Natsu: Get?
He asked. I decided to just be blunt,
Lucy: Natsu I like you.
My face was tense as I waited for his reply.
Natsu: Man I'm slow aren't I. I see, thanks.
I could feel the tears slowly trickling down my face… Thanks… That's all he had to say. I knew it… I knew he didn't like me… I quickly changed to Levy-chan's chat and filled her in.
Levy: Oh Lu-chan I'm so sorry.
She continued to comfort me. Natsu kept saying nice things as well. I sighed and typed to Natsu,
Lucy: Can you do me a favour and reject me. Tell me you don't like me.
It hurts more when you're being so nice to me…
Natsu: Why would I do that... I should of said it first… but then again I'm too embarrassed to say stuff... But I like you too...
I froze in shock as I reread the sentence over and over again.
Lucy: Hold on, lemme check if I read that right.
My brain couldn't process what he said.
Natsu: Not a single lie in that sentence.
I held in my scream and tried to stay calm.
Lucy: Wow.
That was all I could say to him.
Natsu: I think you read it right.
I nodded to myself,
Lucy: Uh yeah I did. I'm suddenly a lot happier than I was before.
I was smiling to myself. I told Levy-chan everything, we were both practically losing our minds over it.
Lucy: So what did you want to do now? About us… Since the feelings are mutual? Do we just leave it?
I didn't want to just know he likes me… I wanted to… I wanted to be together.
Natsu: What else to talk about it? I'm not sure...never really been in this type of situation before… haha.
I knew where he was coming from…
Lucy: Me neither…
I could feel an awkward atmosphere coming over us. I asked Levy-chan if we were a couple. She said that we should be, but I decided to ask Natsu anyway.
Lucy: So do you consider us a couple?
I waited for his reply.
Natsu: Not sure really… What about you?
I was an old school child, I couldn't believe I made the first move… now I have to be even more forward…
Lucy: I would. Unless you think otherwise.
I could tell Natsu was hesitant about this. He was taking a while to reply…
Natsu: I probably would as well, but I'm not really sure, we'll see how things turn out.
I tried not to let it bother me, of course he'd want to take it slow… I shouldn't force it on him…
Lucy: That's okay. I'm happy just knowing you like me.
And I really was… so happy…
Sooo how was it?
