My Biggest Regret

Chapter 3

I opened the doors to the guild and said good morning to Mirajane when she waved at me.

Walking over to her, all the other girls came running to flock around me, not literally running, but you know what I mean.

I looked at the girls that surrounded me with my amber eyes, blinking I asked them out of curiosity, "What's with you guys..?"

They looked at each other with an evil grin then back to me with a bigger grin, I gulped nervously. Levy piped up first, "Lu-chan, did Natsu stay over again last night?"

Before I could answer Erza answered for me, "Of course he did, I saw them walk to her house again yesterday evening, they always sleep together."

I felt my face light up with a dark red, Erza just made it sound like- Cana laughed and slurred, "I knew he would get into-"

"N-NO! I MADE HIM S-SLEEP ON THE C-COUCH! AND W-WE ARE J-JUST FRIENDS! N-N-NOTHING LIKE THAT!"

I put my head on the bar and hand my arms over my head because I had just yelled that out extreamly loud. 'THAT WAS SO EMBARRASING!'

Cana laughed again and finished her barrel and got another, she turned away and said to herself smirking, "So quick to say it didn't happen, if it didn't why so defensive."

The other girls laughed and I was so flustered that Cana had even thought about that. Mirajane pouted, crossing her arms, "I wish, but Natsu is to dense for that right now."

I looked at Mirajane with a bewildered look and a pale face.

She turned to me and had her elbows on the bar and rested her chin on her hands then leaned forward close to my face and said quietly with and edge in her voice, "But that doesn't mean I won't stop with my games,"

Wendy giggled ignoring the 'adult talk' and said with a shy smile, "Mirajane-san, you love match-making don't you?"

Mirajane looked at Wendy and grinned, patting her head she said, "You know it!" I pursed my lips and thought how I should distract them of my 'love life'.

I just happened to see Gray barely looking over his shoulder at Juvia, grinning I turned to Mirajane.

She looked at me then I wordlessly told her to take a peek, Mirajane grinned. She turned to whisper to Wendy, the sky dragon slayer saw then whispered to Erza.

Erza whispered to Cana who whispered to Levy. Levy saw and looked to Juvia, then all the other girls, including me looked at her grinning.

Juvia's face tilted to the side and she looked purely confused. I nudged her, when Juvia turned to me I slightly tilted my head towards him. Still confused she looked, but quickly turned around with a huge blush and sputtered completely flabbergasted.

We all laughed except Juvia who was ranting out of excitement now. Cana swings her arm over Juvia's shoulders, the water mage stopped and looked at Cana curious.

Cana wave her free hand, summoning us around her, we formed into a circle.

The guild drunk sighed and looked at Juvia with a hard glare, "Juvia he isn't going to like you if you keep acting the way you do."

A couple of the girls gasped at the way she was so blunt about the subject. Juvia's shoulders slumped in a way and she looked down, distressed.

I placed my hand on her shoulder, my eyes full of sincerity, "Don't worry Juvia we will help you." She looked up at me with hope glittering in her eyes.

I smiled at her, then looked at the other girls. They knew what I was gonna say next.

I stood as tall as I could and pumped my fist in the air and yelled out, "SLEEPOVER AT MY PLACE GIRLS!"

They cheered happily and Erza looked up from her cake, "What did I miss?"

Juvia, Wendy, Levy, Mirajane, Cana, Lissana, who popped out of no where, and I laughed at Erza and cheered about the sleepover.

Natsu, who came out of no where, also cheered, "Yeah sleepover at Lucy's!"

We all turned at him and glared. I growled, "No! Girls only you stupid male!"

The girls behind me put their hands over their mouth, except Erza, 'Oohed', Erza oohed too, as I told off the person who I liked.

Natsu's eyes dimmed a little, as if he was disappointed, I noticed then I hesitated.

My heart beat so fast at his face, I clutched at my heart, his sad face made me want to cry.

He quickly covered up with a nervous laughter and waved us off, "Yeah, yeah whatever."

Natsu quickly retreated. I heard the girls laugh and talk about the sleepover, I felt my shoulder droop slightly and I looked down.

I straightened up right after and patted my face, 'No, bad Lucy. Don't be sad, think happy thought, sleepover thoughts!'

After my inner self-pep talk I turned around and faced my friends with a new energy, pushing those sad eyes of his in the back of my mind.

A/N: Hello minna! Bah! I've done nothing except sit in my room and watch MEPs in my room all day, which gave me the inspiration of this chapter! Isn't Gruvia just adorable XD
