Hey guys, this is my second Dan x Lucy story. Took a little while longer to get an inspiration for this but I somehow managed it.

There might be some mistakes here that went unnoticed to me so I apologize for those! I hope you will enjoy reading this!

Bits of spoiler rant on episode 148: I feel a bit heart-broken when Dan was wooing Angel since I'm writing this chapter. He was like a knight and shining armour for a split second when he jumped out of that blob of whatever thing it was and throwing the lance to drain her magic. Gray was also charming (and shirtless as usual *drools*) when saving her. *sigh* I'm so jealous of her!

Pairing: Dan x Lucy

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, it is own by Mashima Hiro.

Lucy Heartifila is a normal high school student with good grades, good looks, has tons of friends and she is also the captain of the cheerleading squad. She has a perfect life and everyone around her adores her. She has confessions and love letters from the guys every day in school however she always turns them down. She wasn't interested in any of them as someone has already stolen her heart.

Wondering who this person is? That person is non-other than Dan Straight, her best friend. He is the captain of the fencing club and the vice-president of the Student Council. His soft crimson locks and his spell bindingly bright magenta eyes, he looks like a god that has descended from the heavens. His best charm point was his alluring grin, every girl who saw that always swoon to his feet by that grin.

At first, Lucy didn't think he was all that charming. He had girls flocking over him the minute he set foot in the school grounds on his first day of school. He was already flirting with the girls around him without a care for the others around that were staring with annoyance. (A/N: mostly the guys are annoyed.) She thought that he was another playboy who doesn't give a damn about the girls' feelings and just throws them away like trashes after using them.

She hoped that he wasn't in the same class as him but fate had decided to go against her. What was worse that he was sitting beside her and started to flirt with her which she thoroughly ignored.

However that changed when Lucy was bullied by a bunch of his fan girls. They were jealous that she was able to sit beside him in class but always ignored him when he's talking to her. It ticked them off when Lucy said that he was annoying and deserved to be ignored. The girls were shouting at her and beat her up and just by coincident Dan close by to where Lucy and the bullies were and quickly saved her.

He was furious how they had treated her even though they were their classmates. The girls were complaining that she was being rude to him and deserve to get hurt. Dan felt a surge of rage and scolded them that no matter what she did weren't her fault and they should never resolve to violence. They cringed in fear when they looked directly into his eyes, it was filled with fury. Even Lucy was afraid, this flirter was glaring at his own fans and was defending her. They ran away after seeing his glare leaving both of them alone.

She heard him sigh and told her that he was sorry for what they had done. She asked him if he knew that they were his fans and he told her he knew and he just didn't bother them until now. He gave her an apologetic smile and started to talk to each other, from that day onwards they became friends. Although he still flirted with her from time to time, he still treats her well. His habit when flirting with other girls didn't change either.

Their relationship grew stronger each day, unknowing to a certain blond her feelings grew more than just friendship. She never noticed her feelings until they were juniors.

They didn't have time to hang out anymore. They had school activities and he had Student Council meetings to attend. They couldn't see each other as often and it saddens Lucy. Although they still do text each other, it wasn't the same feeling as they were talking face to face. They still see each other during class and lunch time but it wasn't enough for her. She missed the days they used to have and she felt lonely without him by her side, even when she still has friends she hangs out with.

Whenever she was walking pass the hallways she would see Dan with the girls surrounding him, he still flirts with them. She was jealous of them, she wanted his attention. She turned away from Dan and his fan girls, her heart was aching just watching them. Unbeknownst to her, he was always looking at her when she turned away. He saw the pained look on her face and he felt a sting in his heart, he to misses the times he spent with the blond.

Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and they grew further apart. They hadn't had the time to talk to each other anymore. Lucy's smile started to lose her heart-warming warmth that it always radiates when she smiles. Her friends had notice the change in her smile and asked her if there was something wrong. Lucy always feigned innocence saying that there was nothing wrong but they knew she was lying and they didn't bother her any further knowing she will tell them when she wanted to.

There were days when Dan spots her talking with her friends when he was doing his duties. Every time he saw her smile, there was no happiness radiating from it. He was confused and worried for her. He wondered why had that smile he used to love now replaced with an unemotionless one. He wanted to go over and talk to her but was always pointed out by the Student Council President saying they didn't have to be slacking off from the job. He took one last look before walking away from her. He really misses her. Every time when he wanted to get close to her someone would stop him from getting near her. He was always so close to her yet he felt that she was so far away.

He was feeling irritated that the President always interrupts his movements to talk to Lucy. He was starting to think that 'she' was planning to separate him from her. He knew he shouldn't jump to conclusions but it was the umpteenth time that when he spotted Lucy, 'she' would pull him away from her making excuses that they had a busy schedule or something, it's always the same word from 'her' mouth, busy, never anything else. He was starting to get annoyed with that word.

Valentine's Day was around the corner and so was the annual Valentines Dance. They were told by the principal that the Student Council members and the leaders of each club activities in the school were left in-charged to do the decorations and the music for the dance. Both Dan and Lucy were chosen to watch over the other students' progress and advising them with the decorations.

Hearing the news, both Dan and Lucy were ecstatic. They can finally talk and hang out with each other again. It wasn't like the old times but it was good enough for them. Their hearts were beating fast, they couldn't wait to see each other again.

However there was one that was upset with the pairings in-charge. Jealousy filled her heart with fury. 'She' decided that 'she' will break them apart, 'she' will not let this stand.

"Lucy Heartifila, how dare you take him away from me. I will take him away from you by any means possible. I will show you no mercy this time girl…" 'She' whispered in a dark voice.

Dun-dun-dun! Who is this mysterious 'she' you ask? Well, I will not tell you, you'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out!

This was supposedly a one-shot but then I decided I might make this a two-shot/short story instead. To tell you the truth I'm still deciding how this will end…hehe… *sweat-drop* Might take a while to update so please be patient.

Anyways thanks for reading, I'll see you guys in the next chapter! Please do write your reviews down, I really want to know what you guys think of this chapter!
