Chapter 1 — Crush


Ever since Fairy Tail had been revived, Lucy was incredibly happy to be back home. The year in which she was away from the guild was one of the most empty years of her life, but she's glad she tried to make the most of it. She tried not to think about that year, though, because now everyone was together again and everything was okay. Well... almost everything.

After seeing Cana again, Lucy started feeling different. Every time Cana would walk into the room, she would get a strange feeling in her stomach. It was a good feeling, but she couldn't explain why she felt it. For some reason, seeing Cana after a year made Lucy realize just how much she missed her. She missed the jokes she'd crack, the little smirk she'd get when she was amused, and her laugh. The blonde tried to think about why she could possibly feel this way towards Cana—she was her friend, no doubt, but she just couldn't exactly label these feelings.

Lucy's thoughts began to wander off as she thought more about the things she liked about Cana. Her body had an extremely nice figure, but the structure of her face was also a good quality of hers. And her nose, wow her nose. Everything about her was amazing.

Lucy sighed blissfully and closed her eyes as a small blush appeared across her cheeks. Her face rested in her hands while her elbows were placed on the table she was sitting at. Moments passed until she was just staring at the wall with a blank expression on her face, still thinking about Cana.

"Lu-chan?"

Snapping out of her trance, she looked up to see Levy gazing at her worriedly. "Y-yes, Levy?" she responded nervously, sitting up straight.

"Is everything alright, Lu-chan? You've been acting strange lately," Levy claimed.

Lucy's eyes widened a bit in surprise before putting her hands up in surrender. "Yeah, I'm just fine, Levy! No need to worry."

Levy tilted her head in disbelief, but smiled a moment later. "Alright, then, Lu-chan," she said, "but remember, you can talk to about anything if you need to, okay?"

Lucy smiled widely and nodded. She was grateful for Levy's offer, but she didn't think she could talk to her about this. How could she talk to anyone about this? It was embarrassing. She didn't even know what these feelings meant. Did she like Cana as more than a friend? Lucy didn't think that it was possible for her to be interested in a girl. It was just unrealistic. There's no way Cana would ever like her back.

Lucy frowned at that thought; it felt painful to think like that. Cana was really the only person she'd felt these kinds of feelings for since coming to Fairy Tail. She tried having feelings for the men in the guild before, but found it quite difficult. Is this why she felt this way towards Cana? Because she didn't have any interest in the men here?

Lucy pondered what would happen if the guild found out. Would they be happy for her? Disgusted? Lucy groaned. She was asking herself a lot of questions today; her brain couldn't take anymore. However, the thought of Fairy Tail being disgusted with Lucy's feelings made her feel sick. The guild was her family, and if they didn't accept her, she would feel completely hopeless.

The blonde shut her eyes tight, shaking her head. These thoughts needed to go away. They just needed to.

I don't like Cana, Lucy thought to herself, I don't like Cana.

She repeated these words in her head over and over. Maybe, eventually, her feelings will disappear completely. All Lucy could do now was wait for these feelings to pass. She sighed and leaned against the table once again, frowning.

"Hey, Lucy!"

Lucy sat up quickly, surprised by the voice she heard. It was Cana.

"Hey, what's wrong, Lucy? You look like you could use a drink."

Before Cana could say another word, Lucy quickly stood up and fled the guild, leaving a confused Cana standing there in the middle of the guild.

She couldn't let the feelings become stronger. She needed them to go away.

Once Lucy was back at her apartment, she shut the door and leaned her back against it, releasing a heavy sigh. Everything would be okay, she just needed to avoid Cana until the thoughts went away. They would, surely, go away soon. Or she at least she hoped they would.


Lucy decided to distract herself by taking a warm bath. Those always made her feel better. She sighed contently as she sank into the warm water. She hadn't done much that day, but she felt so exhausted somehow. Her mind was still racing with thoughts of Cana and Lucy found it extremely difficult to make them go away. After spending quite some time in the bath, she got out and dressed herself in her night wear. The blonde ran to her bed, burying her face in her pillow once she was finally laying down. She tried to get the thoughts to go away, but the more she tried, the more she thought about Cana. How could one girl do this to her? It was bizarre.

Sooner or later, sleep began to take over Lucy. The feelings subsided for a few hours as she fell deep into slumber.

...

She was lying down in the grass, staring up at the sky. It was clear and blue; a beautiful sight. In the distance, she heard someone laugh. The sound made her stomach flutter. Lucy looked to her side and gazed at the figure beside her.

It was Cana.

They lay in the grass together with their hands entwined. It felt amazing to have Cana's hand wrapped around hers. Lucy laughed as well. She was unsure of why they were laughing, but being next to the brunette made her get all kinds of feelings. Cana had turned on her side, resting her head in her hand while her elbow was against the grass. It gave her a perfect view of Lucy, who was lying on her back. She smiled back at Cana, who reached out to brush a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. Her hand moved down slightly, resting itself on her cheek. They stared into each other's eyes for a few moments before Lucy leaned up and joined their lips together—

...

Lucy sat up quickly, gasping as she woke up. Her heart was racing and her cheeks and ears were cherry red. She breathed heavily for a few minutes, trying to regain a steady heart beat. After her breathing returned to normal, she lied back down and let out a deep sigh. She couldn't believe she had a dream about Cana—especially one that involved kissing. Lucy grabbed one of her pillows and begin lightly hitting herself with it.

She was determined to get these thoughts of Cana out of her head.
