Chapter 3: Someone Special
Natsu suddenly froze when Lucy asked him if she like someone.
"of course I like someone!" he answered
Lucy smiled "really? Who? Tell me! Tell me! Do I know her?" she asked excitedly. Lucy wanted to know who is this someone he is talking about.
"well… I like… the scary girl, Erza, the no-pants man Gray, I like Wendy, I like Happy…" he said while counting them one by one on his finger. "I like all my friends in fairytail! And I like …" he said but didn't continued.
"yes, you like all of your friends but, what I mean is your special someone…" she said
"you know, someone you love" she added. "is there someone?"
"well… I don't know" he answered.
Lucy paused for a while and stared at him then let out a sigh
"never mind… I shouldn't ask that kind of question…"
After a while, their orders finally came. The waitress started to put their foods carefully one by one on their table.
"anything else? Sir? Ma'am?" the waitress asked.
"no, thank you" Lucy answered.
"thanks for the food!" the two said then started to eat their food. They stayed at the restaurant for an hour until they finished their food. After they finished their food, Lucy paid the food.
"wait, Lucy, I should be the one who is paying right?" he said
"no, let me pay… you paid for my ice cream earlier right?"
After that, they started to walk outside. The sun is still up so, they have still lot of time to spend together. While the pairs are walking, Natsu suddenly sneeze
"aacchuuu~!"
"looks like someone is talking about you huh?" Lucy joked.
Meanwhile…back at the guild, while the two is gone, the whole guild started to talk about Natsu and Lucy's challenge.
"I heard that Natsu challenged Lucy, is that true?" the scarlet haired girl asked while crossing her arms.
"yes, that's right" the ice wizard answered, half naked again, as usual.
"what kind of challenge does Natsu-san gave Lucy-san? Juvia want to know!" the water mage asked curiously. Then, Levy explained everything how and what happened yesterday. The whole guild got surprised and shouted "EEHHH?! Natsu dared Lucy to be his girlfriend?! FOR A MONTH?!" all together. They can't believe that Natsu dared Lucy a challenge like that.
"Juvia is so happy! At least, Lucy-san will not get a chance to be together with Gray-sama! It's all thanks to Natsu-san!"
"I wonder what they are doing right now…" Levy said then sighed.
Back to Natsu and Lucy…
While the two are walking, strolling the entire Magnolia, still trying to find out more about couples when suddenly Natsu asked something unexpectedly.
"Hey Lucy"
"yes?
"h-how do you know if you like someone? You know…that crazy little thing" he asked
Lucy stopped walking then turned to him then smiled
"called 'Love'" she continued. Then, she looked up at the blue bright sky where the birds are flying freely.
"well… I am not sure how but…" she said then looked again at Natsu "you will just feel it…in your heart… you are the only one who knows if you love someone…" she explained then smiled.
"I see… " he simply said.
"so, where should we go next?" she asked seriously.
"there's a new opened plaza near the cathedral"
"really? I didn't know"
"because, you're always on your apartment, writing your novels…let's go!" he said then, grabbed Lucy's arms and started to run towards the new opened plaza near the cathedral.
