Author's Note: Hi! This is my first fanfic, so if anyone has any tips or tricks or advice, please tell me! Also, I obviously DO NOT own Fairy Tail and the beginning of this story is based of a doujinshi I saw. I don't own that comic either. Enjoy!

Flashback

Mirajane met up with Lisanna and together the two watched Natsu and Lucy talking from a distance. It was very obvious that the two liked each other as more than friends, but either they were oblivious (Natsu) or too shy to confess (Lucy). Everyone supported them, secretly of course.

Natsu pulled away and stared at her and then...

SLAP!

Lucy smacked her hand across Natsu's face. She didn't even hold back like she usually did, and it stung. It stung Natsu, not just his face, but his heart, too. She ran away, sobbing, what for she herself couldn't tell. She left without a word.
