Chapter 4: Friendship

-Lucy's POV-

"Really? He walked you home?" Erza shouted in disbelief. I nodded. Cana and Levi grinned.

"Hey, hey, don't jump into conclusions, okay? Besides he's not my type." I told them. Erza smirked.

"Speaking of types, what was your type Lucy?" Levi asked. OHH, shoot, I forgot! I haven't even told them that the one I like is Gray. Well, I think it's time to tell th-

"It's Gray right?" Cana guessed. She hit the mark!

"t-that was unexpected guess but… I-I think, I should not keep anymore secrets from you. Honestly, I've liked Gray since middle school. We've been friends since childhood and I've never expect that I would fall for him."

"Then why didn't you tell him your feelings back then?" Levi asked.

"It's just that I'm satisfied being with him and besides I don't want to ruin the friendship we had. I got scared that if I had told him about my feelings he might feel disgusted. And then we will be awkward with each other. I don't want that. Anyway, I'm sorry if I just told you about it now. I didn't have the courage to tell you because of Juvia."

Erza patted my head, Levi and Cana hugged me. It was a relief that I'm able to tell them about it. I'm happy.

-Normal POV-

It's already dismissal, Gray was having his break from the practice. Natsu spotted him and they chatted.

"What you transferred here?"

"Of course! Well, I don't think that you'd get more and more popular, stripper." Natsu laughed. Gray punched him.

"Shut up. Get away from me."

Natsu punched him back and laughed.

"I wonder how you would feel if I snatch something important to you?" Natsu bluffed. Gray was flabbergasted.

"What do you mean?" he asked. Natsu just grinned.

"AHAHAHA, don't tell me you've already forgot what you stole from me?"

"S-stole? What?" Gray asked in confusion.

"You'll realize it, soon. Well, I'll go ahead." He said and waved goodbye.

Gray gasped when he realized what Natsu was talking about.

-Natsu's POV-

Moron. Don't play innocent Gray. I'll never forget what you stole from me.

I walked around the campus to cool my head down.

"Lucy-san! Wait!" a random student called. I hid behind the trees and observed carefully.

"Waaah! I'm not going to participate in that." Lucy told her.

"But we lacked participants, so please!" she pleaded. I was startled when I saw Lisanna. Why is she here? Don't tell me that she still hasn't given up on him?

"But I need to go home early, I have lots of works to do at home." She said and looked troubled by it. Lisanna was forcing her. Lucy was really bothered by it, I guessed I left no choice.

"LUCY, you're here. Great timing. I'm on my way home too and you said you want me to accompany you to a bookstore." I butted in. Lucy was stunned. Lisanna looked at her and stared at me.

"What are y-" I gave Lucy a just-play-along look. She lifted her head and sighed.

"natsu." I turned at lisanna and gave her a cold smiled.

"So we're leaving first." I told her and dragged Lucy with me.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asked me. I tapped her head and grinned.

"You looked troubled back there so I helped you."

"I can manage to escape on my own. Anyway, thanks." She sheepishly said. Now I know why Gray feels that way around her huh.

"You know lisanna?" she asked me. That was a sudden attack.

"Yeah, I used to like her since middle school." I obediently answered. She snickered.

"Middle school huh, someone told me that he used to like me too back in middle school. You guys are weird." She blabbed.

"What about now? Do you still like her?"

"I don't know. I am confused- ah! Wait, you don't have anything to do with this so please drop this topic. This kind of creeping me out."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Natsu. Oh! I used to go to that restaurant, want to eat? It's my treat!" she said as she ran off to the entrance of the building. I sighed and followed her.

-Lucy's POV-

Natsu is slowly opening his heart to me. I wish he considered me now as his friend. Ahaha, what a silly wish. Now that he saved me it's my turn to return the favor. I'll treat him.

"Wow, you eat a lot." I complimented him.

"Yeah, because it will give you more energy." He said as he swallowed. Wow.

"Anyway, why do you think Gray as a rival?" I unconsciously asked. He stared at me.

"Well, I'm just curious how you two become rivals."

"Okay as a payback for the free food, I'll tell you." He said as he swallowed again.

"Back from middle school Gray was popular as I was in my school, lisanna admired him a lot. When in high school, I went to the same cram school with Erza and Gray. Lisanna learned about that. She gets closed to me…because Gray and I were close friends. She used me to get closer to him, but later on she was rejected by him. She didn't give up. I told her that she should look for other guys. She refused." And then he drank up a soda. I was really shocked.

Now that I think of it, lisanna, Juvia and I have the same person that we loved. Wow, this will make Gray proud of himself. Tch.

"You're close friends, what happened? Why did you distance yourself to him?"

"I told Gray about my plan on courting Lisanna. He said he was happy for me. But one afternoon, I saw Gray together with lisanna. Lisanna was crying in front of him. I hid behind the wall. And when I took a last glance to them, he was hugging her. And so that's the end of the story." He said and ate more.

What? Lisanna and Gray were together? H-how come he never told me about it? Besides Gray was a show off like Loki. And in back in high school he never dated anyone, he just told me that he planned to but he failed.

"I see. I never knew that." I responded dejectedly. I swallowed up a food and drank. Natsu gawked at me.

"Hey, Lucy you seemed so interesting, I want to know you more." Natsu muttered. I looked at him and smiled.

"Me too!" I responded.

When I got home, I went to my room and lay on my bed. Definitely, there's something wrong. Gray wouldn't do something treachery like that. I mean maybe Natsu misinterpret the situation and in fact, he didn't hear the conversation. Hmm, tomorrow, I'll go and ask Gray.

I 'm almost half asleep when someone knocked on my window. Eh? Window? This is second floor! I quickly get up and look at the window.

"Natsu!" I shrieked.

"Hey." He greeted and smiled. I frowned.

"What are you doing here?" I quietly asked. I opened the window and let him in.

"Didn't you hear the news? There will be a meteor shower tonight! I want to show it to you. Come on." He cheerfully said. And again his character seemed cheerful compared before.

"Hey, hey, what's with that blue cat on your back?"

"It's my cat, Happy." He grabbed it and neared my face.

"Okay. Well, let's go?" I pushed the cat away from my face.

"I'm sure, Gray will get mad at me tomorrow if he knew that I sneak out. Ahaha."

"Don't worry about it." He assured me. Yeah, they're friends. Very close friends. Though Gray used to tell me about him but never told me that his friend's name was Natsu, I know Gray still considered him as a friend. I hope their closeness will be back soon.

"Look! It started!" I told him and point at the sky.

The sky is so beautiful that night.

-Normal POV-

At Levi's home.

"wow! Jet! Droy, looked at the window, it was awesome!" levi called them as she gazed at the sky.

At the balcony of the bar.

"wow, I am not dreaming, am i? the sky is wonderful!" cana yelled as she took a sip on her beer.

At erza's place.

"Erza, look outside." The voice on the other line said.

"a meteor shower, huh. That's pretty, isn't it Seig?" erza said as she blushed.

At Gray's place.

"whoa! A meteor shower! I wonder if lucy got to witness this. Next time, i'll make sure we'll watch the fireworks together." Gray mumbled as he rested his chin on his palm.

Back to Lucy and Natsu.

"I wonder if everyone got to see this." I muttered and smiled.
