Hello everyone I'm deadbeatdragon
I love Lucy and every hot guy Lucy-compatible
Though I'd take a backseat from Nalu and crack pairs
So...tada! Please tell me what you think and I'll update soon! :)
Her Hair, Her Eyes, Her Lips...
Oh how she brought me down to my knees with her stellar looks and made me realize what exactly was missing in the so called life I was living. The moment she first walked through the door, her brilliant yellow hair captured me and my frozen heart. Although what I felt then was merely a peaked interest, it bloomed presently into a sensation of love, unrequited love. I stare at her from across the room as a pink haired idiot and his blue companion talk animatedly with one another. Lucy's giggle I can hear from miles away and her grin and laughing eyes seem to illuminate the guild. I smile to myself, a little heat rising to my cold cheeks as I look on contentedly at the girl I crave to hold, kiss, love. Someone catches my eyes on Lucy and sends me an all knowing look and a devilish smirk. The silver haired "matchmaker" Mirajane gives me a wink and turns her head to Lucy and back at me, I sigh deeply, getting caught by Mira is practically like giving her an invitation to meddle in my placid-how should I call it? Love life? Anyway, the blonde, pinkette and blue feline excitedly rush out of the guild, shouting eagerness for their new mission and rent money. As the doors slam behind them, I take it as a cue to walk up to the bar and hear what matchmaker Mira has to say.
"How could I not have noticed it before? You lllllloove Lucy!" the silver haired barista whisper-screamed at me, her eyes turning big and glossy, her mind probably filled with what I can only assume as future plans and tricks to get me closer to the blonde I've been silently obsessing over for the past 3 months. The gesture seems goodnatured and with upstanding intent, but I can't help but feel that her grin indicated more than wanting me to get closer to Lucy, probably us going into the stages of marriage, children and a myriad of things were flooding in her mind, while all I am pining for is a simple date…maybe just a kiss even. I shudder as she looks at me with a wistful gleam in her eyes and her chin resting on her two hands, elbows to the table and she was off to dreamland where baby Grays and Lucys frolic merrily as a rainbow skinned dragon hovered the sky and filled it with glitter and candy. I can't take much more of this cliche school girl look in Mirajane's eyes.
"Let's not get carried away Mira, I like her a lot but as if I'm ever going to act on it. You see how she's with Natsu, isn't it a bit obvious that they're practically a couple." I said sadly as I hid my face in my hands, despair and exhaustion overcoming me. The white haired waitress finally comes back down to real world, a somber expression on her face replacing her early excitement.
"Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Natsu and Lucy together but -as much as it pains me and my fan club- I know deep inside that the guy's too dense to see it. But you, you are far more mature and I've known you long enough that nothing's ever stopped you from getting what you want, so why are you holding back now? It's been years, long painful ones at that since I've seen you open your heart up to someone, so if a girl's got you smiling and blushing and your heart racing like mad, then I say go and get her and don't stop until you do." The speech brought my head up and I saw the sincerity in the way my sister-like guildmate encouraged me. The hope in my heart, the spring in my step came back gushing and the biggest smile was plastered on my face.
I walked home with confidence and anticipation at my decision to confess to Lucy tomorrow, my heart is pumping round-the-clock with exhilaration at my laid out plan. I basked in the sunlight, my arms behind my head and my eyes closed down in utter satisfaction at my new resolve. The optimism booming inside made me unaware of my surroundings and I ended up crashing my shoulder to that of another, bringing us both down on the ground.
"I'm sorry" I apologized instantly and got back up on my feet, holding out a hand to the yellow haired stranger on the ground. She looked up at me with a smile and then tilted her head when she saw me and I saw her. It was Lucy, my key holding nakama who I was secretly and hopelessly in love with. A blush crept on both our faces as I pulled her up and her glowing eyes instantaneously captured my heart, the chocolate swirls radiated holiness in the damned sunset. Her heavenly dulcet voice echoed in the tranquil side of town, leaving my ears yearning for more.
"Ohayo Gray!" I could barely get a word out and ended up idiotically stuttering, for the beauty she magnified made my bodily functions melt away like ice cream on a hot summer's day. I grumbled a hello and focused my attention at the ground. I tried to move past her with the thought that if I saw more of her glorious features I might confess right then and there, crumbling my perfect plan and throwing it out in the trash. She walked alongside me despite all this, a look of worry strewn on her face.
"Are you okay, Gray?" her eyes were sincere and it almost made me hate myself for avoiding eye contact, having to look away from those unmatchable umber eyes is as good as a sin in my book.
"I'm okay Lucy, just tired is all." I looked away from her as I nonchalantly walked in direction of my house. The celestial mage still walked alongside me regardless of the awkward silence that brewed. She stopped all of a sudden after a few minutes and looked up at me with eyes aflutter and her face glowing in playful enthusiasm.
"Whaddaya say about a little trip to the cake shop then! It'll surely cheer you up!" Before I could even reject her offer, she's swinging my arm and dragging me behind her to a little shop nearby. I have to say, she's a bit overexposed to the flame-brain nakama of hers, next thing you know, she's eating flames from a bonfire with the twat. I chuckle silently as I sit down on a table while Lucy ordered for us, her speech going a bit too fast for the waitress to keep up with.
"I want a chocolate-no, strawberry-no, chocolate parfa-can I get both? Ah with a slice of strawberry cheesecake-or was it blueberry? I can't remember. Do you guys have drinks? Of course not Lucy! This is a cake shop! Wait…you do have drinks! Well in that case I'll have the strawb-no I wanna try something else. Hmmm maybe a chocolate milkshake? I honestly don't know, guess I'll just have everything then!" The waitress looked at her, frozen in place by Lucy's rambling and her eyes absolutely sleep deprived and annoyed, poor her. The waitress shook her head and turned to me, not even bothering to write whatever Lucy said down.
"And you, sir?" Her exhausted tone of voice made me chuckle lightly, the blonde beauty can sure tire someone out and the cute way she does it is a very much appreciated bonus.
"Oh just water for me, thanks" the girl nodded and went of elsewhere, slumming and heaving a sigh. When the waitress was a good distance away, I laughed uncontrollably with the cunning yellow head doing the same. Still in fits of laughter-I turn my head to Lucy who's eyes were devious and teasing, she leaned on the table and whispered to me jokingly, barely holding in her giggles.
"Do you think she got my order?"
