Well, here goes!
P.S Hello, my dear readers! I have edited this chapter, hope you guys like it! Sorry for any inconvenience caused!
chapter one – emotionless.
Lucy Heartfillia awoke to the morning sun beating down on her face. She pulled the covers over her head and cursed, attempting to return back to her peaceful slumber, but to no avail. Grumbling, Lucy picked herself up and dragged her limp body towards the bathroom.
After brushing her teeth, Lucy turned on the tap and watched blankly as the flowing water slowly but steadily filled the bathtub with water while removing her clothes and strewing them all over the bathroom floor at the same time. Sighing, she slowly dipped herself into the lukewarm water so as to prevent the water from spilling over the edge of the tub.
After soaking and scrubbing for a while, Lucy decided to get out, seeing that the tip of her slender fingers had turned all wrinkly. She then wrapped her body with a yellow fluffy towel and her hair with yet another towel. Lucy walked out of the bathroom to her wardrobe and picked out a pink tank top together with a blank mini-skirt and changed into it. Then, Lucy headed back into the bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror, only to see her blank, emotionless honey brown orbs staring prominently back at her. Lucy smiled, and her reflection did the same. Sighing, Lucy wondered whether to let her hair hang freely over her shoulders that day. It was at that moment when she remembered what Natsu had told her once…
"Hey Luce! You should let your hair down more often. You look nicer!" Natsu grinned that wide, goofy grin of his, unaware of how his words had affected Lucy, causing her to blush a healthy shade of pink.
"What the-" Lucy mentally berated herself. "No! I must not think about anything related to him!" Deciding against letting her hair down, Lucy tied it up into her usual side ponytail. Grabbing her belt, she secured her whip and keys to the belt, slipped on her usual black combat boots and left for the guild.
"Lucy! Good morning to you! Would you like the usual for breakfast?" Mirajane, the white-haired barmaid chirped happily.
"Mornin'! Nah, its fine. I'm not really hungry right now." Lucy forced a smiled and replied.
"Oh… Well, okay! Call me if you need anything, okay?" Mirajane replied, a hint of sadness in her voice. I hope you cheer up soon, Lucy! Mirajane thought as she walked back into the kitchen.
"Say, Cana, don't you think Lu-chan's acting all weird?" A particular blue-haired individual asked her friend who sat opposite her. "Mmm…" Cana commented, not really paying attention to the blue-haired individual. She was far too busy with her drinks. Picking up her barrel of beer from the table, Cana gulped everything down, like her life depended on it. Levy simply shrugged and stared at the direction of Lucy with a concerned look plastered on her small, delicate face, tainting her usually cheerful and happy look.
Just then, the guild doors slammed open, revealing a certain spiky rose-colored hair Dragon Slayer, with Lisanna lagging behind. "YO, GUYS!" Natsu shouted out to the unusually quiet, empty guild. It was only eight in the morning after all. "Hey, Lu—" Natsu wanted to shout, but bit back his tongue. That's right… I almost forgot. I shouldn't talk to Luce for now…
Sigh. He was back. Great. Lucy thought. And with Lisanna too!
Lucy got off her stool and shot Mirajane a light smile, mouthing 'See you later'. As she walked out the guild doors, the brown-eyed girl failed to see Gray pass by, causing her to accidentally push past him. "Hey! What was that for—" Gray opened his mouth to protest, only to shut it when he realized it was Lucy who accidentally shoved him.
"Oh, hey Lucy!" Gray greeted. The celestial mage simple nodded and sent Gray a small smile, briskly walking off into the distance.
"Oh…" Levy suddenly realized, Lucy had not been smiling much recently and even if she did, it looked forced. That must explain why her aura feels weird. Levy inwardly wondered if the sudden change had something to do with that. The bookworm also realized that many things has happened to her best friend ever since that and Lucy must feel really down right now.
"Lu-chan… I hope you revert back to your usual cheerful state soon…"
