PREVIOUSLY...
"Hey," Lucy squeaked out. She looked up to Gray's cold expression. Wasn't it warm and inviting just a moment ago?
"Yeah," Gray said in a monotone voice.
"Hi, I'm Juvia!" Juvia said, smiling. Lucy saw Juvia cling more onto Gray. It made her flinch.
After a few minutes Gray and Juvia got up again. "Well, we'll be going for now," Juvia smiled.
"Bye," Gray said. As the two walked away, Lucy had eye contact with Juvia. Juvia turned her head slightly and smiled at Lucy. It was small and quick, but its meaning was a whole other thing.
Juvia had meant it only for Lucy to see. It all basically said: I know who you are, and Gray is mine this time. Too bad you can't do anything about it.
That night, Lucy couldn't sleep. All she had on her mind was Gray and Juvia. Why was Gray acting so cold to her? What was Juvia up to? When did they start dating?
Lucy got up, thinking of a "great" solution. She grabbed some rope (I have no idea where she got it) and tied it up to the roof. She slipped the bottom of the rope and tightened it around her neck. She stood on her bed, close to death. "Goodbye world," Lucy whispered. As she was about to jump, she heard a metal sounds and loud noises coming from Erza's room.
"Grr, can't I just have a peaceful death where I slowly jump off with dramatic music like in the movies? Ugh," Lucy untied her "Shoe-tie bunny loop" on her neck and yanked off the rope from the roof. She walked out and into Erza's room.
"What are you doing at eleven at night? I was trying to be dramatic here," Lucy pointed at the rope and pretended to choke herself.
Erza was sitting with her legs crossed on the floor. Sprawled around her were large and deathly dangerous items. Lucy could see an axe, samurai sword, machete, scythe, chainsaw, knives, crossbow, pike, and swords. There were even small objects that had a point to it like a shark's tooth, tacks, a syringe, and even freshly sharpened pencils. "Uhh... what the hell are you doing?" Lucy dropped the rope and looked in awe.
Erza looked up with a devious grin. "Hello, Miss Suicidal. Decided to live again, eh?"
"Well, of course I have to live; I need to make sure you don't go on a murderous rampage! You know, if the cops came in here, they would think you're a serial killer! "
"Well," Erza said, clapping her hands together. "Ooh, I could use that rope!"
Lucy looked at Erza like she was insane. "Please tell me you're not going to do something crazy."
"If going to go kill that Gray, then yes. And murder his little pretty girlfriend, YES." Erza had rage in her eyes. "I really think I'm going to have to consider using that axe. Or maybe, I could pierce him with all my daggers. Or I could use all these pointy pencils!" Erza yelled.
"Oh, God." Lucy yelled. She ran her fingers through her dyed-black hair. "Did you forget to take you're crazy pills?"
"What are you talking about? They're to mentally stable me and control my anger issues! NOT crazy pills!" Erza grabbed the samurai sword and held it up.
Lucy raised her hands up. "Okay, they're pretty pills."
Erza sighed and put the dangerous weapon down. "That boy, I can't believe he's your childhood sweetheart. The way you described him, he seemed like a really nice guy. Doesn't look like it,"
Lucy slid her back on the wall and sat down. "Yup. Things change I guess. I shouldn't have come here."
"Well, we can't always have a nice and pretty fairytale. Reality and Imagination don't go together at all. But if life always worked out well all the time, we wouldn't learn anything. Plus, life would be soo boring."
"Woah, Erza. Are you Confucius or something?"
Erza laughed. "I wish,"
"Okay, really. Let's be serious now. What are you doing with all these pointy stuff?"
"I'm deciding on how I want to kill Gray and Juvia." Erza said with a straight and serious face.
Lucy laughed. "No, seriously."
"I'm being serious! I seriously want to torture them until they die." Erza said, still keeping on a poker face.
Lucy laughed and looked at Erza. "It's not nice to kill people,"
"It's not nice to forget a BIG promise. It's not nice to back-stab a friend and steal their love. I know you're hurting, so stop pretending to be okay with all of this. Stop with the act."
Lucy stayed silent, staring off into space. She got up and walked out of room, closing the door quietly. Lucy couldn't have answered because she knew Erza was right.
The next day Lucy met up with Natsu in the front of the school. Erza had to go to the office for something.
"Hey!" Natsu smiled. "Oh, you know, I have your bags from that day in the cafe. Pick it up at my house today?"
"Sure!"
"Anyways, why did you run off so fast?"
"Uh..." Lucy looked somewhere else. "I had an appointment for something!"
"For what?"
"Oh, look! Let's go over there!" Lucy quickly said, changing the subject. She dragged Natsu over to Mirajane, Levi, Gajeel, and Cana.
"Hey, don't change the subject, tell me!" Natsu whined, pulling at Lucy's sleeve.
"Nooo!" Lucy laughed, shrugging off Natsu. Natsu pouted.
"Fine then, if you don't tell me, I won't let go!" Natsu put his arms around Lucy and squeezed her.
"Hey! Let go!" Lucy yelled, trying to yank him off. "Don't resort to such childish games, Natsuuuu!"
"Never! Never shall I let go!" Natsu laughed. Lucy laughed along, still in the grasp of Natsu.
"Wow," Levi whistled. "You two seem very close. Anyone who saw you two together would think you're a couple. Right Mira, am I right?"
Mirajane smiled. "Yup, yup. You guys look so cute!"
Gajeel nodded, putting his fingers to his chin. "Yes,"
"What?" Lucy yelled. "Noo, it's NOT like that!" With one final yank she ripped Natsu off of her. "Idiot!" Lucy said to Natsu as she whacked him on the head.
"Oww," Natsu whined, rubbing his head. "That hurt,"
"Sorry," Lucy apologized. She patted him on the head.
Gray and Juvia came to the group holding hands. "Hey, guys!" Gray yelled.
Juvia smiled and looked at Lucy. "Are you liking it here so far?"
Lucy gave her a superficial smile. "Yeah!" She answered.
Juvia laughed. "That's good,"
"Mhm," Lucy said, looking at Juvia's and Gray's hand.
"Hey Perv," Natsu yelled to Gray.
"Hey Flamebrain," Gray shot back at Natsu.
"Iceblock,"
"Stupid shit,"
"Idiot ass-head,"
"Squinty eyes,"
"Droopy eyes,"
The insults went on and on. Natsu grabbed a rock and threw it at Gray's face. Gray dodged and let go of Juvia's hand and threw a rock back to Natsu. He dodged too, and the rock hit Erza who was walking towards the group.
It her shoulder, making her have a killer-expression. "Who threw that?" She yelled, walking closer.
"Uhh..." Gray and Natsu said, knowing that she was ANGRY. They threw their arms across each others' shoulders, acting buddy buddy.
"Thought so," Erza huffed, glaring.
Wow, it seems like we've all known each other for so long... Lucy thought.
After school Lucy walked around the campus looking for Natsu. They said they would meet up but forgot about "where." When Lucy was in the back of the school, she saw a few trees. Under one of the trees, Gray sat under the shade sleeping peacefully with a book laid next to him, opened with its pages fluttering back and forth in the wind.
Flashback...
Lucy silently walked to Gray, who was sitting under a sakura tree. Their sakura tree.
The boy had a novel over his face as he slept with his head laying on the trunk. "Romeo and Juliet," Lucy read the cover.
Lucy looked under the book to confirm that the boy was knocked out cold. She laughed, poking his arm.
"Wow, really?"Lucy sat next to Gray. The wind made Lucy shiver. "Idiot. Sitting out here with no jacket. Seems like you want a cold," Lucy took off her yellow jacket and put it over Gray's arms.
Lucy was about to walk away when she paused. She looked around, confirming that there was no one in sight. She turned back around and walked slowly to Gray. She sat next to him and looked over to his book. Lucy glanced to some of the words scrawled on a page.
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
"Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. Psh, of course he would read the same book over again," Lucy whispered. She leaned in closer to take the book. She went through the pages and noticed it was the same book from when they were kids. "Weird..." She whispered.
She put the book back and examined Gray's face. His hair was black and messed, as if he just rolled out of bed. His fair skin glowed in the dawn light. Lucy smiled and raised her hand to his face. She outlined his face with her index finger, gently and slightly. "Good thing you're a heavy sleeper," Lucy said to herself. She went to his eyelashes and played with the tips. "Haha, you have longer eyelashes than me!" She stopped and stared at him a little longer.
"Well, time to go," Lucy said. She got up and started to walk away. She looked back to Gray and smiled. "I still love you..." Lucy said, with a tear falling from her eye.
What she didn't know was that Gray had woken up and opened his eyes at the last moment to see Lucy's smile. He stretched and watched Lucy disappear from his sight. He grabbed the book and looked at the cover. "Huh," he said.
Lucy walked to the front of school to see Natsu standing there with a smile. "Hey Luce!" Natsu yelled, running up to Lucy.
"Oh, so now you even have a nickname for me?" Lucy said.
"Hey, you gave me one, and a suckish one at that too. You should change it," Natsu grinned.
"Hey!" Lucy whacked Natsu in the arm. "You better watch it!"
"Gee, Luce," Natsu rubbed his arm, flinching.
"So, where's your house?"
"C'mon, I'll show you," Natsu started walking on the sidewalk with Lucy following him behind.
On the walk Natsu asked Lucy if she had a cell phone. "Yup!" Lucy dug in her pocket and took out a baby pink touch phone. "Do you?"
Natsu smirked. "Of course I do! Who doesn't?" He took out his maroon blue Blackberry. "Lemme see your phone?" Before Lucy could reply he took her phone and put his number in it. He took a picture of himself doing a peace sign and handed it back to her.
"There! Now you have my number. What's yours?" Natsu asked.
"628-596- Wait a second, exactly why am I telling you this?" Lucy said.
Natsu rapped his arm around Lucy's shoulders as they continued to walk. "Cuz, we're friends!" Natsu gave her a toothy grin.
Lucy sighed. "Oh fine. It's," Lucy told her his number and her dialed it into his phone. "Picture!" He walked in front of her and snapped a photo of Lucy doing a pose.
Natsu put his phone away and they continued walking. "Haha! It feels like we've known each other forever, huh?" Natsu said, putting his arm over Lucy's shoulder as they walked.
"Yeah, it does, huh?" Lucy said.
A few minutes later they reached Natsu's house. It looked fine on the outside, but when Natsu opened the door and let Lucy in, she almost died. "Oh my God! What happened here? Did a bull go through your house?" Lucy gasped.
The living room floor could be barely seen. There was a pizza box with 2 slices of moldy pizza near a table that was stacked full of papers and useless crap. The floor had clothes sprawled everywhere and other random items. "Uh, I think you have a hoarding problem," Lucy said, walking through the room carefully so she didn't step on an unidentified item.
"I do not! I'm just too lazy to pick all this stuff up," Natsu said.
"Eww, pizza? You could at least throw that away!" Lucy said, pinching her nose. "It makes the room stink,"
"Really? I don't smell it," Natsu sniffed the air, still not smelling the stench. He walked upstairs and Lucy followed. He walked into his room and grabbed a few bags from the corner. "Here ya go!" Lucy grabbed it. She looked around the room to find it surprisingly clean.
"Thanks. How do you keep your room so clean compared to the rest of the house?" Lucy went and sat on his bed that had about 20 pillows. She dropped the bags at her feet.
"Easy! I shove everything under my bed or in the closet! Wanna see?" Natsu started to open his closet when Lucy stopped him.
She threw a pillow at him, aiming for the head. "No! Don't open it! There's probably a monster hiding in there!"
Natsu laughed. "A monster?"
"Yeah,"
"I'll show you monster!" Natsu grinned and grabbed the pillow Lucy hit him with that was lying at his feet.
He walked up to Lucy and started whacking her with the pillow. "Hey! Stop it!" Lucy laughed, shielding herself with her hands.
They threw pillows at each other until Natsu accidentally slipped on the bags and landed on Lucy with his arms on the side of Lucy's head and his legs over Lucy's. He looked at Lucy who was under him blushing furiously. Natsu was still smiling as the two stared each other in the eyes. Lucy thought she could hear her own heartbeat thumping loudly in her ears. She hoped he couldn't hear it.
Natsu leaned in, getting closer and closer. She could feel his warm and hot breath on her face. Natsu could smell her vanilla scent. They closed their eyes, waiting for their lips to meet.
Bark! A dog yelled outside, making Natsu and Lucy jolt. Natsu flipped off the bed and landed on the floor with a thump. Lucy sat up, looking at Natsu who was on the floor flinching from pain.
Lucy started laughing hysterically. Natsu sat up. "Hey, what's so funny?" He asked, rustling his pink hair.
"Ah, nothing. It's just timing can be so..." Lucy smiled.
"Yeah," Natsu said.
"Well, I better leave now. Erza's going to wonder where I've been,"
"Oh, okay. Well, see you tomorrow!" Natsu said, ushering Lucy out of his room. At the door Lucy waved and walked out and into the street.
Natsu sighed and went to lie on his bed. To Natsu's dismay, it was drenched with Lucy's sweet scent. In seconds he fell asleep.
While Lucy walked towards her condo, she thought- a lot. "What was that?" Lucy said to herself. "We've only met, what, 3 times? Aishh! Lucy, what are you doing? And what about Gray? You MUST forget about him, so Natsu can help, right? But still..." Lucy blabbered on and on to herself.
In the end, she decided her conclusion. "Okay. Lucy, you ABSOLUTELY must NOT fall for Natsu OR Gray." That was her final decision, and she was determined for it to stay that way. But sometimes you can't control it...?
