Natsu stared blankly at Lucy as she blushed deep red.
"I don't get it." Natsu said bluntly. Lucy groaned. She had finally worked herself to confess to Natsu, but she didn't know he would act so stupidly about it.
"How could you not get it?!" Lucy said loudly, trying not to scream. Natsu remained silent. "But I thought you already loved me."
A couple heads turned to their conversation. Lucy blushed a deeper red.
"W-Well thats like comrade love. I mean romance love." Lucy stammered. "...romance love?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah." Lucy said, feeling like maybe he understood now. "...But I don't get it."
"AHHHH Why are you so dense?!" Lucy yelled, "It's so plain to see! How could you not understand?!" Everyone was watching now.
"Well, you're my comrade. So it doesn't make sense." Natsu said, totally oblivious. "But I love not in a comrade way! I thought we've been over this before!" Lucy said as tears welled up in her eyes. "But Lucy, we're comrades so thats just weird." Natsu laughed. Tears spilled down Lucy's cheeks and dropped onto the floor.
"Well fine then. Its not like I was serious anyway. Because we're comrades, right?" Lucy mumbled as she walked away.
Mira watched, Horrified, at the whole scene. She sighed and then quickly scuttled over to Natsu.
"Geez, what's wrong with Lucy?" Natsu said.
"Um well you sort of...broke her heart." Mira said, trying to put it as delicately as possible.
"Broke her heart?!" Natsu said, completely shocked, "Does she need a docter?" Mira found it VERY hard not to face palm.
"N-No...it means that you made her really sad and um..." Mira tried to explain.
"It means that you crushed her hope of ever having a romantic relationship with you!" Juvia added to the conversation as she came over to them.
"Um yes! That's what it means." Mira said triumphantly. Natsu stared at them blankly.
"Wait. What? I don't get it." Natsu said. Mira sighed heavily.
"What part do you not get, Natsu-san?" Juvia questioned. Natsu thought.
"The word Romance" He replied. An idea popped into Mira's head.
"Natsu, do you not know what Romance means?" Mira asked. Natsu slowly shook his head.
"I've heard Levy use it a couple of times. But I have no clue what it means." Natsu said.
"Okay then, so Natsu, when someo-"Wait Mira-san! I'll handle it!" Juvia Quickly pipped in. She cleared her throught and then said,
"So when you love someone very much that's romance. More than a comrade. More than anyone else in the world. Sometimes you don't tell them you're feelings (Juvia's eyes trailed over to Gray) and sometimes you do. But Lucy just did. And you said she was weird for doing that. Thus you broke her heart." And with that Juvia finally finished. Mira clapped.
"So...Lucy is probably really depressed right now because of that?" Natsu said slowly. Juvia nodded encouragingly. Mira watched eagarly and hoped for the love of God he wouldn't say 'I don't get it'.
"And probably crying too." Juvia added.
"Wait...crying?" Natsu said, dumbfounded.
"Yes. She was crying when she left." Mira said.
"She was?! Oh Crap this is bad isn't it?" Natsu yelled. Juvia and Mira both nodded simultaneously. "Yeah its pretty bad. But..its not really bad for you. She'll probably go back to normal in a couple of days." Mira said, "Unless...you..." Mira gasped but then smiled.
"What is it, Mira-san?" Juvia asked.
"Unless you have the same feelings toward Lucy?" Mira said as she smiled coyly.
"Well, yeah of course." Natsu said bluntly, "But I have to go find her right?"
"Yeah you should probaly do that." Mira agreed.
"Then what are you going to do, Natsu-san?" Juvia asked anxiously. Natsu went into thinking mode. "Probably make out with her." Mira almost fainted, but quickly grabbed support from the counter. Juvia remained standing.
"Good Luck, Natsu-san!" Juvia called as he dashed out the door.
Lucy sat by the canals on the way to her house. The sun was setting she had better walk the rest of the way home. But she was too worn out and depressed to move. She sat there and pondered her feelings more. Why did she even like an idiot like Natsu? Sometimes she found herself extremely stupid.
"Idiot." Lucy mumbled as she crumpled into a little Lucy Ball. She probably couldn't face Natsu tomorrow. Heck, maybe even never. Currently she only wanted to throw herself into a river. Nothing else. Okay, maybe she wanted to throw herself onto her bed, not a river. That would be a little harsh. Anyway she was just done with life. Maybe I'll just move. Find a new guild and forget about Fairy Tail. A minute passed where Lucy's mind was completely blank. What am I thinking? I can't leave Fairy Tail. But I still can't forgive Natsu for what he's caused me. Geez I wish he'd just-
"Hey. ." Lucy looked up at the person who was interupting her thought. Oh great. Natsu. The last person she wanted to see. "Go away Natsu I don't want to-"
"Lucy, be quiet for a sec." . Natsu took a deep breath and then blurted out,
"Lucy I love you, okay?" Lucy blushed deep crimson and then said,
" N-Natsu I-" Natsu clamped a hand over Lucy's mouth and then said,
"I'm not done yet. I kinda realized it a little before we met. It slowly developed over time, but I never realized it. Geez, was I dense. Finally I realized the whole thing. And now I know it. I'm falling for you, Lucy."
Lucy sat, frozen. Natsu pushed his lips on Lucy's. Lucy blushed bright red. She quickly backed away and stared at Natsu.
"W-Why did you.." Lucy managed to say.
"Because I had no clue what you were talking about." Natsu replied. Lucy thought she saw a trace of pink on his cheeks.
"Wait...what do you mean?" Lucy asked, a bit more relaxed.
"I didn't know what the word Romance meant." Natsu said sheepishly. Lucy had to keep from bursting into laughing. Instead she snickered a bit.
"Hey! Its not my fault I was raised by a dragon!" Natsu yelled. Lucy smiled.
"You really are an idiot." Lucy said as she quickly kissed Natsu before she walked off to her house. Natsu stood there and watched her before walking back to the guild.
Once he walked into the guild Mira quickly got up from what she was doing and ran over to Natsu. "How did it go?" She asked eagerly. Nastu grinned and replied,
"It went good. Lucy is in a good mood now and we kissed." Once again Mira had to keep from fainting.
"Should I go thank Juvia for the advice and tell her what happened or..." Natsu said and trailed off as he saw that Juvia was obviously busy with Gray.
"Yeah, she worked up alot of courage after talking to you." Mira said also watching the two,
"Now all thats left is to help Levy with her problems, huh?" Mira said to Natsu.
"Yeah...Levy really needs to take things up a notch with Gajeel." Mira smiled and nodded.
