-Platonic Friendship-

"So how was the mission?" I asked Natsu, the very same question I always asks him whenever they came back from their jobs. As usual he answered it with his goofy smile, I watch him tell me his story complete with exaggerated narration of his attacks with over-flowing compliment about his 'awesome' power, even with his exaggerated way of describing his job I always notice that I'll end up laughing out hard along with his comical antics afterwards. We really do enjoy each other's company; even the whole guild members notice the closeness between us and were silently waiting for some few 'developments'. Though I'm a bit embarrassed to say, I too somehow expect that our relationship will be far more than friendships. I get a little carried away and let myself helplessly and madly in love with him. I set myself at ease because I thought he'll reciprocate what I feel about him. A horrible decision though. It's too naive of me to think that there is 'something' going between us. Stupid Natsu. Stupid love. Most especially stupid me.

I felt my whole world crumbled into small pieces the day he told me the truth. It was three months after the Edolas Incident. I was resting on the bar stool with book on my hand when Natsu suddenly approached me. Told me he wanted to tell me something so I am to meet him in the South Gate of Magnolia Town under the Sakura Tree. I feel that he's excited about something. So I came and saw him standing under the pink tree. After his words started to sink in on my mind, my body felt numb and that the time suddenly stops from ticking. As if I forgot to breathe. He had his goofy smile at me waiting for any reaction from me.

"I'm going steady with Lisanna," his voice echoed inside my head. Painfully sinking in word by word.

I wanted to cry. Hell, I wanted to scream out so loud, so frigging loud that I'll lose my voice in process. But I still choose to give him my biggest and not to mention fake smile. I congratulate him. Even gave him some advice about 'girls', perfect date and so on. Though inside of me I was hurting I have to support him. He's my friend after all. My friend. Just friend.

I walk back to my apartment looking like a zombie. Those three tortuous hours of giving him advice, I kept my fake smile plastered on my pale face. I keep myself from crying. I wanted to show him my full support with his relationship with her because... Because she's also my friend. They're both my friend. Suck being friendly. I thought to myself sarcastically.

I close my door behind me. Kick off my sandals but never had the energy to walk inside my dark room. I lean my back against the leaf of my door. After that remorseful three hours when he confessed his relationship with Lisanna, I realized that it'll be impossible to move forward. I slide my body against the door at the same time finally my tears cascade down my cheeks.

The whole night, I just crouched down the floor crying painfully. I was so attached to the fact that I love him and that I can never love someone again like that. Me and stupidity, really now.

The next day I decided it'll be too painful to go and see the 'happy' couple and so I summon Virgo, my Celestial Spirit, to do me a favor and gave Mira-san a message. My ever faithful Spirit merely nodded at me but curiosity and worries are evident in her eyes.

Days had passed. Crying is part of my daily living just like breathing. I remain friends with Natsu and Lisanna. We go in missions but never without Lisanna. She had been permanent part of 'Team Natsu' though I hide my broken heart I still choose to stay away from them from time to time. A little consolation to my broken heart.
