This story isn't one that is based off of an event that actually happened in Fairytail, but it is based on a fan fiction that I am currently reading. I decided to do this because I wanted to show how I would right it. But you should got check out the story, it's called, "One Of The Boys". And the chapter its from is 14.
Lucy, Levy, Erza, Cana, and Juvia were about to leave the restaurant and Lucy prayed that Natsu wouldn't see her passing by his table. But he did.
"Luce?" Lucy cringed and turned. She smiled, trying to keep in her tears. Right as she was about to turn and leave a tear escaped from her eye and Natsu noticed. She rushed her friends out the door.
As soon as Lucy was out she rushed to the nearest bench. She sat down and cried into her hands. The girls knew exactly what was happening, they saw Natsu come in with Lisana. And even though Lucy denied it, they knew she had feelings for him. They didn't know what to do other than wipe her tears and hug her.
Lucy's crying session was interrupted when Natsu came running, calling her name. Levy, Cana, Erza, and Juvia glared at him. "Luce, what's wrong?" She looked up at him. Her eyes were red and puffy, her hands had puddles in them and tears were still streaming down her face.
Natsu took one look at her and gasped. Seeing her like this made his heart ache. He'd seen her cry a lot since they were five, but she'd always come to him for comfort, but this time she went to her friends from prep school. Which told him she was crying about him.
The sight of him made her cry even more and he cringed at the glares from her friends. "Luce, is this about... Lisana?" She looked down into her lap, ashamed of her feelings. Natsu's heart felt lik it was going to explode. "Y-yes?" She said, sounding kind of confused.
She was so disappointed not only in Natsu, but at herself for letting this happen again. She didn't want to go through this again. Going through this last time lead to her leaving for a year and a half to go to prep school. She completely destroyed and disrespected herself doing that and all because he ditched her and went to the dance with Lisana and not her. And kissed her.
Thinking about that moment made her heart ache. She looked back up at him. "Natsu, you've been ditching me all week." She started to blush. "Every night I wait for you at my window, but by the time you get home it's midnight and you fall asleep instantly. I thought you said you were done with Lisana, because she dumped you for Gray?"
He looked down at his feet. He had totally ruined it, yeah he hd been ditching her. But only because he had been saving money for the auction where she was going to be "sold" to the highest bidder and go on a date with them. Not only did he want to save her fro m the monstrosity, he wanted that date with her.
But this time he was with Lisana and her parents, which, in Lucy's eyes, probably looked like a date. But that wasn't the case, he had been working for them, doing chore and running errands for them to raise that money for Lucy. They went to have dinner to discuss everything. But Lucy didn't know that.
"Lucy... I-I've been working for them all week. I was trying to save up money for the auction and so I needed to earn some, it just so happens that thy needed someone to do chores and run errands. So I've been doing that all week, and we we to discuss the matter over dinner since the auction is coming up which would put a stop to my working for them."
He started to blush a little bit and Lucy just looked at him. She was trying to fit all the pieces together. "You wanted to 'buy' me at the auction?" Her heart was pounding. And her friends were frozen. "Y-yes." There was a long silence.
Lucy had this urge to say something, but every time she thought of something she couldn't bring herself to open her mouth and say it.
Finally Natsu spoke up. "Luce, why does this bother you so much." Lucy knew exactly what the answer was, but what was she supposed to say, Because I've been in love with you since we were five and I think you should be with me and not her. She couldn't do that.
"Because-because I gues it reminds me of that night when you were dancing with her, and I blink and all of th sudden you're kissing her." "Well, why does that bother you?"Lucy stared at him, Natsu choked on his own words. "I, um, have to go." Lucy wiped her tears, nodded to her friends, and left.
Natsu was left standing there, staring at the spot where she sat, replaying that moment in his head over and over again. "Natsu! Natsu!" He was broken out of his gazed by Lisana standing in the doorway of the restaurant waiting for him to come back. He turned and slowly walked back.
He thought about what had just happened. Lucy couldn't actually like him, right? I mean, he's Natsu, her best friends forever. There is no possibility way sh could like him. He was Natsu.
He sat back down at the table and continued talking with Lisana's parents. It wasn't a serious talk, they were having fun. Cracking jokes, teasing each other. But the things took a turn for the worse. "There's one more thing we want you to do Natsu." The father said. "Go on a date with Lisana." Natsu's heart stopped.
Natsu didn't know how to respond. After a couple moments he finally opened his mouth. "I can't I have plans for the rest of the week. I really just need the money you owe me, especially with the dance tomorrow-" "That's actually when we wanted you to do it. Take her to the dance." "Well, um, I already had someone else in mind." Lucy of course.
Lisana's dad frowned at Natsu's comment. "Honestly, and the end of our agreement was tonight at 7:30. It's 8:00." Natsu extended his hand, being incredibly brave, and incredibly stupid. "So pay up." Natsu's heart was bating so fast it felt like it was going to explode.
Lisana's father angrily slapped the money into Natsu's hand and Natsu left. "Oh my god." Natsu thought. "Those people scare me to death." Natsu walked back to his house.
He plopped onto his and check his phone for the time: 8:30. He looked over at his window eagerly, and there she was. Lucy was sitting on her floor crying, her friends had decided to stay out a little longer but Lucy said she was fine and insisted they go without her.
Natsu went over and picked up his can. "Luce?" His voice traveled through the string and over to Lucy's can that was dangling from her window. She looked up and saw him, standing there with a worried face, he knew what was going on but he was still worried about her.
Lucy picked up her can. "Can you come over here please?" Her voice started breaking as she spoke. "Yeah." Natsu rushed down his stairs and over to her house which was right next to his. He ran up to her room.
She saw him as he walked over to her. She got up and hugged him. "I don't want to lose you Natsu." Natsu wrapped his arms around her. "I don't want to lose you either." They stayed like that for a long time until Natsu broke the silence. "I love you Luce, not as a brother." She looked up at his red hot face with hopeful eyes. "Really?" "Yeah."
Lucy relaxed and settled back down, she didn't feel worried anymore, sh didn't feel awkward hugging him. "I love you too." She smiled and he hugged her tighter. "Please." He began to say as tears ran down his face. "Don't ever leave me again."
I hope you all enjoyed this story! Go check out the real one! Thanks!
