Chapter 1: It Begins


"He likes you…" Mirajane pointed out blankly, as she told the blonde in front of her, leaning on the bar counter. Lucy's face reddened. "No he doesn't. You already tried to convince me that he does, and you know how that ended up." Lucy stubbornly answered, facing the opposite direction of the barmaid. Mira stayed silent at that point.

"Yes he does actually," Lisanna said joining into the conversation, "Have you seen the way he looks at you?"

"HE looks at me as a friend!"

"No he doesn't" Mirajane pointed out.

"Yes he does." Lucy said, completely in denial. Not that she doesn't want him to see her in an I-don't-see-you-as-a-friend way. It's just that romance…isn't really his strong point. "Mira, just what makes you think that Natsu likes-or love!" Mirajane interrupted the celestial mage.

"Yes," Lucy said uncertainly, "Or love…me" she gestured to herself when she was talking about herself. "Loads of things actually." Lisanna answered for her sister.

"Oh really?" Lucy said, "What would those things be?"

"Well, for starters he's your partner."

"Yeah, but- he sleeps in your bed all the time." Lisanna stopped the blonde in mid-sentence.

"He practically lives at your apartment."

"So does every other member of Team Natsu!" Lucy denied.

"He likes spending time with you."

"He is always with you."

"He always protects you"

"Okay, I get it!" Lucy screamed all red-faced, turned looking away from the Strauss sisters. "Besides, you guys already tried to prove to me that Natsu may return my feelings, and we all know where that ended up." Lucy listed off, thinking back to the awkward moments the sisters had lead Natsu and herself to. Lucy shuddered at the thought.

"Hey Lucy?" Mirajane questioned the blonde

"Yes?"

"Have you ever seen Natsu jealous over something?"

Lucy blinked as she thought about it. "No, not really. But over what exactly?"

"You." Mirajane said simply, Lucy sighed 'Not this again, I'm pretty sure that I explained to them what would happen.'

"He won't get jealous over me. He doesn't even like me. Natsu see me as a friend and nakama."

"Do you want us to prove it?" Lisanna inquired. Lucy nodded, sipping her milkshake absentmindedly. "Can you summon Loki? We need to have a word with him."

Lucy nodded, taking the golden ring from her waist she said. "Open, the Gate of the Lion! Leo!" Slashing downwards, she created a portal between the two worlds. A small poof sound was heard, the portal vanishing, leaving Loki in its place.

"My Princess, what is it that you require?" Loki said, kneeling down in front of the blonde. "Mirajane and Lisanna need you for something, assist them in anyway you can."

"Are you sure? Cause I'm pretty sure that I can help with your needs first…" Loki said in a flirty tone, getting really close and in front of Lucy's face. Lucy blushed, a heavy dark red color across her cheeks. Pushing the spirit away from her, she screamed. "Just go!" The lion spirit left, chuckling as he left, leaving the flustered blonde to gather her thoughts. Lissana and Mirajane smirked knowingly to themselves. 'Perfect.' The siblings thought, as they lead the lion spirit into the kitchen to talk.

Lucy watched as the trio disappeared into the guild's kitchen, her face still having a dark red tinge across her cheeks.

"This won't be good, will it?"
