Lucy woke up on her bed. It felt little unusual because she had just recovered from her cold. She realized she caught cold a lot after joining the Fairy Tail.
"Fairy tail", she whispered and smiled gently.
It was a place she would always belong. Life was fun, wonderful and meaningful. She never felt alive before. She got out of the bed and saw a note on her bedside drawer.
It read, "Lucy, we came to take you to a new mission, but you seemed to be too ill to go. We will be back in a day. Get well soon. We will bring you souvenirs. Natsu and Happy".
She sighed. She had already paid that month's rent so she didn't have to worry but still it was good to have money before paying the rent. She decided to go to Fairy Tail to look for new missions she could go with Natsu and Happy after they returned. After all, they were Team Natsu. She smiled. She had recovered and she was as good as new.
The usual noisy and lively Fairy Tail was quiet that day. Thankfully, Mirajane was there. She was cleaning the table. When she saw Lucy, she gave her beautiful smile.
"Good afternoon, Lucy. I am glad you seemed to have recovered".
"Good afternoon, , much better".
"Natsu and Happy were talking about you before they left. Natsu was particularly sad that you couldn't go to the mission with them this time". She teased.
She was good at putting weird thoughts to Lucy's mind and particularly about Natsu.
Last time, when Lucy thought he was head over heels for her, she had to be disappointed. So, she had already built up a defense wall from teaser spell this time. She took a seat and looked around.
"Where is everybody? I have never seen Fairy Tail so quiet"
Mirajane giggled.
" Today is Valentine's day. There's a huge party in the town for couples. So, everybody left to spend time with their loved ones."
She winked.
"What?"
Lucy's voice was so loud; the roof of Fairy Tail nearly blew away. Her eyes nearly popped out. She almost pulled out her beautiful blond hair.
"But..but what about Erza, Gray, levy-chan, Gajeel, Juvia, Carl…
She believed they didn't have valentine.
"Oh, interestingly, they had all gone to missions two days ago and they haven't returned. Seems they will miss this year Valentine's day".
She cowered at the corner.
Unbelievable, another year without boyfriend and those who didn't have partners have already left the town so they don't have to embarrass themselves. Gahhh why was I the only one to be ill…she wanted to kill herself.
She looked at Mirajane.
" So you are alone here meaning you don't have a valentine too, Mirajane-san"
Lucy's eyes beamed with hope but that lasted for few seconds only.
"No, in fact I was about to leave before you came here".
She was upset. She was the only one without valentine and that means no valentine party too. Darkness was looming above her head when sudden realization hit her.
" You are leaving for party…."
It was almost a whisper.
"You have a valentine!"
Her voice was loud with surprise.
Mirajane was smiling nervously and she was blushing.
"Yeah…ah..Laxus asked me out yesterday…"
She was nervously playing with her fingers while she spoke.
"Laxus!"
So that lightning guy too got such a nice girl. God why am I the only one without a boyfriend.
"Lucy I am sorry but I have to go. I need to be ready for leaving the party. La…Laxus must be waiting for me".
"Yes. I wish you and him good luck and have fun, Mirajane-san", she gave her usual Lucy smile.
Mirajane gave dazzling smile glittered with love.
Lucy closed her room's door. Sitting in an empty Fairy Tail only made her feel miserable. She remembered everyone had laughed when they heard she had no boyfriend. Each time she was determined to get a boyfriend, something would come up and she would completely forget or she felt that person wasn't right. But Valentine's Day would always come and made her realize she hadn't progressed at all.
All of a sudden, the house felt quiet. Usually, Natsu and Happy would be there without invitation or even knocking at the door and entering wherever they liked. She gave a small laugh remembering the incidents. She was always angry whenever they did so but today she was missing them.
"Natsu.."
She sighed closing her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she screamed "gyaaahhh…what was I saying…this valentine day is making me crazy…"
She relaxed after a while.
She thought of summoning the celestial spirits and spent the time with them but then again Aquarius would definitely kill her and imagined her saying," the fact that you don't have boyfriend doesn't mean you can disturb our lovey-dovey day. Go get yourself a boyfriend". Gosh she wasn't even powerful to summon all of them together. How wonderful that would be though she thought.
She gave a long sigh.
She took a shower. Her appetite was lost. She didn't plan to have dinner. She lay on her bed praying the evening would be less noisy outside with all the couples heading to the party.
She heard a noise coming from the window side.
"Has Natsu returned back?" was her first thought.
It might just be a gesture of wind. I should close the window. The noise will not let me sleep.
She walked to close the window only to see that Natsu was getting inside from the window.
"What…what are you doing…and how many times have I told you to use the door?"
He stared at her for a while and gave his usual Natsu smile " you look fine".
"I…i am okay now", she was blushing. "Whe..where's Happy?"
"Oh! He went with Carla to meet other Exceeds. He will be fine. Don't worry, Lily went with them".
He came closer to her and sniffed, "shower?"
She looked at the other side unable to look straight at his eyes. "Yes".
"Natsu has good sense of smell. He can smell from far away. Why does he have to come near me and sniffed. I am finding difficult to breathe now. Weird stupid Natsu!"
"Good! Then get dressed Lucy. We are going to restaurant now".
He showed two coupons with a big grin.
"Huuuuuhhhh… but..today…i…"
She was feeling uncomfortable and somewhere in the corner of her heart was leaping with joy.
Today is Valentine's Day and it can't be a co-incidence, he is asking me out…
"Lucy, the coupon expires today. We could have gone yesterday but you were ill. Happy was leaving with Carla and Lily. So, he wanted us to go together ".
Lucy sighed.
There's no way Natsu would come up with some romantic ideas. I was being nervous for nothing.
" Give me some time".
She went to get dressed.
She wanted to summon Virgo but if rumors spread out that Virgo dressed her on Valentines Day with Natsu, she would end up killing herself.
Cancer had her hair done before she left for Fairy Tail that afternoon so she was fine with her hair.
She got dressed and started walking towards Natsu. He was sitting on a chair like an obedient child. That was very unusual of him. Usually, he would be taking her things out or checking the stuffs but today he was acting like a gentleman. That was weird. Really really weird. Probably because Happy wasn't there to accompany him in his mischievous act she thought.
"Let's go, Natsu. I am ready"
He looked at her that made her feel beautiful.
Oh god what's going on? My heart is already going doki-doki.
He grabbed her hand.
"Let's hurry. We will have lots of fun. The night has just begun. I am so fired up."
He said with excitement.
And again this is the usual Natsu I know. Sigh…
She smiled.
"Hai!"
