Konnichiwa, minna (Hi, everyone)! Sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted it to be sorta like an introductory, you know? Stay tuned for the next ones; I promise they'll be longer and more interesting!

He Lllllllikes Her

By AliceknowsWonderland

"Hi, everyone!" Lucy burst through the doors of the guild, positively beaming.

"Oi, Lucy, what are you so happy about?" Natsu glanced at the unusually joyful Celestial mage.

She clutched a leather book in her hands to her chest, "I just finished reading the best book I've ever laid eyes on! In the first two pages, I already had seven new ideas for a novel!"

Even though he didn't particularly care for literature, Natsu was always ready to listen to whatever words poured out of Lucy's mouth, and he absorbed every bit of it.

"What book?"

"It's called Rescue from the Dark Knight, and I absolutely love it! It's about a princess who is kidnapped by the evil Duke and the Dark Knight saves her! I'm just a sucker for that kind of stuff!"

"Lucy, you're looking a little scruffy today," Happy said.

A tick mark appeared above her eyebrow. "Scruffy?! You damned cat!" Lucy glared at the blue exceed.

"Natsu, I've got some unfinished business with you!" Gray came storming over, and, in a flash, the two were fighting.

Somehow, Elfman got caught up in the scuffle, screaming something about being a man, and Evergreen leaped in to scold him for being such an idiot.

By the time two minutes had passed, it seemed everyone had joined in on the pointless battle except for Mirajane, Levy, and Lucy. Even Erza participated; someone had eaten her cake.

"Mira, how's Freed doing?" Lucy asked innocently.

The barmaid immediately turned scarlet red, "H-How should I know?"

"Everyone know's you like him," Levy said.

"I d-do not!"

"Oh, come on, admit it!" Lucy prodded.

"Alright f-fine! Maybe, I like him just a smidge," Mira was now blushing furiously.

A mischievous grin suddenly crossed her face,"So, Lucy, what's goin' on with you and Natsu?"

Lucy blushed a bright red, "Natsu and I don't have a relationship like that!" she murmured.

"Ok, then what about Gray?"

At the sound of Gray's name, Natsu whipped around to listen to what the secretive girls were talking about.

"Huh? N-No! I like Gray-"

Just as Lucy was about to finish her sentence, Natsu got punched upside the head. He had no choice but to rejoin the fight.

"-as a brother. Not as a boyfriend," Lucy finished.

Natsu faced the ice mage with fire burning in his eyes, "GRAAAYYYY!"
