AN:i dont own fairy tail hiro mashima does!
"I saw them standing there...pretending to be just friends, when all the time in the world could not pry them apart."
mira jane stood there watching natsu and lucy argue over what mission they were going to take to help lucy pay her up coming rent, and natsu's bottomless pit of a stomach. lucy's bright smile reflected in her eyes. the soft look reserved only for natsu, and moments like this, when they would argue back and forth with no venom behind the words being spoken, and smiles on their faces. everyone could see that the dragon slayer was head over heels for his best friend, and that the stellar mage loved natsu. it was just that those two hadn't figured it out yet. they had been through so much together since natsu had brought her to fairy tail. it seemed as if even time couldn't tear them apart. the tenrou incident proof of that. mira watched erza walk over to the bar.
"hey mira, what are you looking at so hard, that caused you to stop wiping the counter?" erza asked mira. mira shook her head and quickly looked from erza, back to the cute couple who had finally decided on a mission, and were on their way over to get her acceptance. "one second erza and i will explain ok?" mira finally answered. "oi! mira we wanna take this mission! im all fired up!" natsu bellowed to mira jane. mira jane smiled at him and put it into her book. she looked over at lucy and saw her motioning natsu to hurry up, natsu ran up to her and threw her over his shoulder. mira jane couldn't help the smile that broke over her features watching the two as they left. "erza have you ever just sat around and watched how those two act together?" mira asked erza. "...like how they share secret smiles to each other and when they start a argument over something small theres never any hostility, they both are smiling throughout the whole deal? how natsu sometimes looks at luce like shes the only girl in the entire room?" erza replied. "i seem them standing there, and you see that they think that they are just friends, but theres something more between them. they are falling in love with each other, and its amazing to watch.." mira trailed off, deep in thought. erza sat there absorbing everything her and mira had said. " mira can i have a strawberry shortcake?" erza ask mira. " sure it'll be right up dear." mira replied with a smile on her face." mira, i think of them as yin and yang. natsu is hot headed quick to jump into something, whereas lucy is level headed, and evaluates the situation at hand. she completes him because she is everything hes not, and the same goes for her. she saved natsu that day at Haregon, just as much as he saved her from the fake salamander. natsu would give his life for any of his nakama, but with lucy, he fights so much harder when he see's someone treating her wrong. it gives him the drive to become that much more when lucy can't stand anymore." erza mused aloud to mira. "they are in love and dont even know it. i dont think anything could pry those two apart..."
