Hello there! I decided to create an angsty, dramatic, romantic comedy. This story is AU (alternate universe) and the pairings are LucyxLoki and ErzaxNatsu. I hope you enjoy!

I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL

Fairy Tail

AU

Because I can't stand you

Chapter one: Beginning of the End?

Rounds, rounds, rounds. The hustle and bustle at the hospital was sounding like a thick and consistent humming as Lucy continued to see her patients at he hospital. Her mind was in a heavy fog after leaving her house at 4:45 am with the stinging words that her husband had left her with.

"Maybe you just need to find the root of all your problems, Lucy."

The first year of marriage is he hardest... Bullshit. She thought to herself.. The first year of their marriage happened to be the best. Nothing but romance, sex and fun before either of their careers had really become established. Then they got used to each other, they started to see the faults, and flaws that they each had as individuals. It became a real challenge and now at their third year, things were more than difficult.

Loki had been a relationship and marriage counselor for two and a half years. He was quite good at it, although a rookie he had many success stories. Lucy was proud at first but when he became overly confident in his abilities, the man started to pick Lucy apart, piece by piece. First it was the way she folded laundry, and what events in her past may have caused her to fold it so sloppily. Then it was her defensive attitude when he would give her any type of criticism. Be it good or bad, Lucy did things the way she wanted to and she hated and detested when anyone told her to do it differently.

Finally after five hours on her feet, the busty blonde nurse made her way to the hospital break room to enjoy her lunch. Though it was typically breakfast for most people. Sighing she walked down the hallway and turned a corner and walked into the break room. She took a seat in the cool metal chair and heaved yet another sigh.

Across the room stood a petite woman with oceanic locks , pouring a steaming cup of coffee that smelled delightful.

"Okay Lucy, what's got you sighing so much?" Said a chipper Levy as she sat across from her blonde companion with a cup of coffee in hand.

Lucy looked at the forensic pathologist with a thoughtful expression and gave her a faint smile. "Oh, just the usual things."

"Seriously, is that Loki giving you problems? Men I swear. Who needs em?" Levy said before sipping her coffee. She too, had been experiencing some relationship issues. The man she had been perusing also happened to be a bit bipolar. One day he was kind and sweet, the next cold as ice. She often felt as though she was wasting her time chasing after Doctor Redfox.

"I know, right?" Lucy said in agreement. Although part of her didn't mean it. Deep down she did care about Loki, and she longed to get back to that 'head over heels' feeling she had when she first met the boy.

Meanwhile on the other end of the hospital

She took her bloody gloves off her now steadied hands and discarded them in the proper hazardous container. Doctor Scarlet had completed another successful surgery. Though those around her were joyful, her heart still felt heavy. After discarding the rest of her bloody garments, She exited the sterile room and walked into the locker room where she let her long red tresses fall. heaving a sigh of relief she sat down on the small wooden bench across from her locker.

"I'm not sure this is working, Natsu."

"Yeah, probably cause ya just can't get over HIM..."

It wasn't fair. She was over Jellal, certainly she was. The man who had put her, her heart and emotions through the wringer.

Although quite opposite, Erza and Natsu had a deep connection. When they first met, the chemistry was undeniable. She was hesitant to trust him, and maybe if Erza was honest, she may still be holding onto her heart, afraid to give her whole self to someone again. They were married for goodness sakes, why couldn't she? We're there still things left unsaid and unresolved between she and Jellal?

The neonatal surgeon hung her head, weary yet not wanting to go home yet. What would she say? What would she do? Both of them were angry and said things they shouldn't have last night, and they had not spoken since.

Standing to her feet, Erza swallowed her pride and opened up her locker. once she did, a small paper note came fluttering out and landed at her feet.

Whats this? She thought as she knelt down and picked up the piece of parchment.

Carefully, she unfolded it with her dainty fingers and began to read the words that had been so meticulously written.

Hello, Doctor Scarlet,

I have certainly missed you and your beautiful face and attributes. How are things? I hope Natsu is treating his bride well, you deserve the best, Erza. But I can't help but wonder what could have been, had I not been so foolish with your heart... With all my love

Jellal
