Summary
Magic Mystery, or better known as "MM", is the rising star of the music industry. No one knows what they look like, age, or anything really. Except for one thing, and that is that sometimes a C.D will arrive in the mail consisting of MM's new album. Magic Mystery is considered the god of music by both male and female fans alike, no other artist could ever compare. Everyone loves them.
Lucy Heartfilia, or better known as "mute girl" is constantly alone and an unknown author that goes by the pen name Lunar Eclipse. Writing is how she makes her living. No one really knows why she never talks, or anything else about her. Only that she is a regular at Fairytail cafe, who sits at the same table everyday. Wherever she goes people constantly talk bad about her, but she just ignores them. Living in her own little world.
But who would have guessed "mute girl" and "MM" were one and the same.
Italic are Lucy's typed or written responses.
Normal P.O.V
Fairytail cafe, owned by one Mr. Makarov, was home to a bunch of rowdy college kids. Here you could see several groups of students hanging out, talking, and laughing with each other. Mirajane the head barista was making the customers orders when a blonde haired girl wearing a baggy gray hoodie and sweatpants walked in. Suddenly the place became absolutely silent. Whispers broke out as the girl walked up to the front counter.
"Look, the mute girl is back."
"She's got some kind of incurable disease right? Hope I don't catch it."
"Isn't she mentally retarded and that's why she can't talk?"
"No. she's just too stupid."
Several similar comments can be heard throughout the establishment. Finally the blonde reached the counter.
"Oh welcome back Lucy" Mirajane said with a smile once she noticed the blonde. "You want your usual right?"
Lucy just nods her head, hands her the money, and walks toward her regular table. There she sat for the rest of the day with her headphones on, not caring about the others in the cafe.
Somewhere else, three students watched the whole interaction from afar.
"Hey ice princess, have you ever talked to that girl before?" Said a pink haired boy.
"Idiot, she can't actually talk." Replied the raven haired boy.
"What did you call me?"
"You heard me!"
Then the two boys proceeded to engage in a heavy verbal argument. That is until a dark aura surrounded a red haired girl.
"Nastu. Gray."
Suddenly said boys stopped and hugged each other. "Y-yes E-Erza." They said in sync.
The red haired girl just sighed and looked toward the corner where the blonde sat. "Don't you feel bad? You know with everyone saying bad things about her."
"No, she probably can't hear them anyways." Nastu said.
"She's mute, not deaf you idiot." Gray replied
"That's not what I meant stripper!"
"What'd you call me flamebrain!"
"GUYS!" Erza scolded. Soon the boys calmed down and she sighed once again. "Anyway I bought MM's new album, want to go to my house and listen to it?"
"Wait really! The new album already came out!" Gray said excited.
"Dude what are we waiting for let's go!" Nastu shouted while running out the exit.
Gray and Erza just followed close behind. Not before gray stopped at the door to get one last glance over at the blonde, who lifted her head making eye contact with him. However before gray could do anything he was being pulled along by his two overly excited friends.
The blonde just watched in confusion as the three students left the building. Wondering why they were shouting and running all over the place. She took a deep breath and shut her eyes for a moment. Then she closed her notebook and got up out of her seat, walking out the doors of the cafe. Hugging the notebook close to her chest, she proceeded to walk to the market. Thinking about what she should make for dinner tonight.
Time skip- at the market
Gray's P.O.V
After we had left the cafe, Erza, Natsu, and I went to the market to get some snacks. Erza had offered the idea of having us stay the night at her place since it was already pretty late. So here I am watching Erza obsess over strawberry cake and Natsu try to decide which spicy snacks to get. I could really care less what we get so I just ignored them.
For some reason I couldn't stop thinking about the blonde girl in the cafe. Erza had a point, I did feel bad for her. I heard somewhere that being mute could be caused by a speech disorder, or a physical injury. Sometimes if a person goes through a traumatic experience they could become mute as well. As far as I know she could have been through something terrible and she now refuses to speak, or even got in an accident that damaged her vocal cords.
And what does she get in return.
Complete strangers judging her, calling her stupid, mentally retarded, or crazy. How she could just continue her day as if nothing bothers her at all amazes me. The more i think about it, the more I believe that we should do something about this. For all I could tell she doesn't deserve this, she doesn't deserve to be alone. I want to know her story, I want to get to know her better. So the next time I see her I plan to become her new friend.
I finally stopped my musing with new found determination, and noticed Erza and Natsu were still doing what they were doing before. So I decided to go toward the freezer section to find some ice cream. I mean who doesn't like ice cream. Oh right Natsu, all the more reason to get some. I smiled to myself as I thought of Natsu's reaction if I shoved ice cream down his throat. Then I noticed another person next to me. The person was the same blonde from the cafe. It was as if the gods knew of my new found goal and decided to give me a hand. So I looked at her. She was looking at the frozen treats with a confused look, probably trying to decide on what to get.
I just continued to stare at her. Several thoughts were swirling around in my head, questions I could ask her, good conversation starters, just many ideas of getting a good impression. However when I opened my mouth none of those thoughts came out.
Instead just a simple "Um hi"
Great, good one gray.
The blonde just tensed up for a split second and looked up at me. Her brown eye watching me with curiosity, waiting for me to continue.
"I'm gray, and you are?" I say awkwardly.
I tried to not just smack myself in the face right then and there. Stupid, stupid, she can't even respond. Good one me just brilliant.
The blonde just looked at me with a raised eyebrow. Eyes shining with amusement, as if she could read my thoughts and knows of my internal struggle. Finally for what seemed like forever she pulled out her phone and began typing. Once she was done she extended her arm over to me phone in hand, and nodded her head in a way that tells me to take it from her. So I grabbed her phone and read what she had said.
'I apologize if I may have seemed a bit rude but Im mute. The names Lucy :)'
I look up and smile at her, she smiles back and takes her phone. She types something else quickly and passes the phone to me.
'Was there something you needed my attention for?'
Startled and now realizing I just randomly got her attention with no battle plan in mind I blushed.
"Er... no I just remembered seeing you at fairytail cafe earlier so I just decided to come up and introduce myself."
Once again she types on her phone and passes it to me
'I see, in that case it's nice to meet you gray.'
"So uh I know this is sudden but I would like to try and get to know you more." I paused and she tilted her head to the side. Before she could start typing again though I added quickly, "do you want to come over to a friend's house with me? We plan to listen to MM's new album."
As I spoke I watched Lucy's reaction closely and noticed she tensed again when I mentioned MM. She hesitated before typing her reply.
'I would hate to intrude. Plus technically you are still a stranger to me.'
I just smiled, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her over to my friends. I know this may have seemed like a kidnapping to her but my excitement prevented me from using logic. When Erza and Natsu were in my sights I yelled at them.
"Yo Erza, Natsu." They both stopped what they were doing, looked at me and walked over.
I nod my head in Lucy's direction, "this is Lucy, hope you don't mind but she is coming with us."
Erza just looked at me confused, then shrugged in acceptance. Natsu was grinning like an idiot.
"Awesome! The more the merrier." Natsu said then turned towards Lucy. "That means you like Magic Mystery right?"
Lucy just nods her head shyly
"Great, then let's go!" Erza said with a hint of excitement leading us over to the register.
Normal P.O.V
After everyone paid for their stuff, the four of them walked to Erzas house. Lucy slowly trailing behind the others. After a while Natsu had noticed Lucy and tried to make a conversation that is until he remembered she's mute. Gray and Erza remained silent casually taking glances over at the two. The three thinking the exact same thing.
God this is awkward.
While Lucy who was oblivious of the current situation was thinking something else.
How did I get myself into this mess?
Time skip- at Erza's house
Lucy's P.O.V
Why is this happening to me? At first when the man with raven hair, who I now know as gray, came up to me I just decided to play along. It was amusing to see his face twist and turn with conflicting emotions. Also his reactions to whatever he ended up saying were hilarious. I had to try really hard to mask my laughter with a normal smile. It really was just for entertainment purposes I never actually wanted to follow them. Although I did recognize who the three of them were instantly. They were the weirdos that left the cafe shouting and running all over the place.
Oh well right, what's done is done.
Once we were at who I believe was Erzas house, they started to play Magic Mystery's new album. Did I ever mention that M.M is actually me? Yup that's right, the rising star no one knows is actually right here sitting in their living room listening to the album with them. I find it extremely weird to watch the three of them get excited, dancing all over while singing my own songs. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that my music is actually well liked and didn't turn out terrible. However I can't bring myself to join them, it'd just be awkward. Ha! Like it isn't even awkward already. Note the sarcasm. Although the only reason why I decided to make music in the first place is because of a promise. An important promise to my most special person. Now that I think about it, the reason why I don't speak is also because of a promise to another person. Have I always let other people make my decisions or control my life?
I closed my eyes and sighed. There is no reason to be thinking about this anyways. It's all in the past, nothing can be changed now I'm already committed. So I opened my eyes and pulled out my phone. It is basically where everything is saved, my song lyric drafts as well as my drafts for my novels, I value it with my life. So because I have nothing else to do I pull up a draft and start writing.
Apparently Gray, Erza, and Natsu decided to now take notice of my lack of participation because they stopped dancing and walked over to me.
"I guess you're not the type who gets up and dances to a song you like." Gray said with what seemed to me like a pout. But why would he pout?
"Do you not like this song?" Erza asks.
I shake my head and type out my response then hand my phone over to Erza. She reads it aloud so Natsu and gray could know too. "No it's not that. Just I already have this album at home and am not as excited as you guys who are hearing it for the first time. Besides I know all the words by heart."
Technically this isn't lying right? Considering I am the one who wrote them so of course I would know it by heart. Plus I have the original demos hidden on the shelfs in the back of my closet.
"Oh that's awesome!" Exclaimed Natsu, trying to add to the conversation.
Then there was this awkward silence where everyone just looked at each other. Erza seemed to be thinking about something but then her eyes lit up like she had an idea. She gets up and quickly leaves the room. I look over at Gray and Natsu who seemed just as confused as I was. Not too long after she comes back with a white board and black expo marker.
"Here, this might help so all of us could see what you have to say. It will also help save your phones battery's life. When you handed me you phone I couldn't help but notice it was on the verge of dying." She explains while handing said items over.
I smile sheepishly at her and nod in thanks putting my phone away in my back pocket. Erza smiles at me then turns to Gray and Natsu starting another conversation on which song is their favorite.
I tune them out and watch as they laugh, smile, or even glare at one another. I'm going to be stuck here with these people for a while aren't I. Might as well try and get to know them better. So I just smile to myself, clapping to get their attention I write one simple question on the white board.
Do you guys want to play 20 questions?
A/N: Hey hey Scar here, so this is actually the first Fan fiction I wrote. It was originally posted on Wattpad but I accidentally deleted it (plus I kind of forgot my user account information :P). Then I started using this site so I decided to post it on here instead, it was just easier.
Anyway enough about that. This story is actually inspired by two other fics. One was a prince of tennis fanfic called Deafening Silence (sorry forgot the authors pen name, if someone knows please let me know so I could add it in here). The second fic was actually a Fairytail story about Lucy being the Queen of Music and disguising herself at a school (I don't remember the title or author either, please let me know if anyone knows as well). I feel like a terrible person not remembering such important details. Anyway Disclaimer I do not own Fairytail all rights go to their respected owners. Also although this is inspired by other people's stories I tried really hard to make them different. If something seemed to get too similar let me know I'll change it immediately.
Oh and if anyone has any comment, concerns, or ideas please tell me Id love to hear them :)
