Hey. ;)
So Gray, Natsu and Alica just busted Mako and Lucy in KISSIN'! Hope you'll like. :)
Chapter 7.
"Lucy?" A voice suddenly sounded and Mako pulled away from her. She looked up and saw tree people stand a little from them.
"G – guy's?" she said flustered, "i – it's not what it looks like."
Mako's eyes suddenly got double size and he hurried to his feet. He stared right at a slim girl, her hair blew in the air and tears ran down her cheeks, but her expression was hard and not a single feeling was spotted.
"A – Alica," he whispered and his face twisted in pain. Lucy gasped, was this Alica? She turned her attention to Lucy and lifted a finger toward her.
"You," she said coldly, "It's all your fault."
Lucy was about to answer, but suddenly her gaze caught a glimpse on the two boys. Natsu stood and just stared at her. You could almost see the thoughts spin around his head. Lucy was almost afraid to look at the other person.
Gray stood completely hidden in shadows, his hands were in his pockets and his head was lowered.
"Please let us explain," Lucy begged. Natsu kept looked at her, his gaze was hard to figure out.
"Then explain Lucy," he said, and his eyes was hard, "Are you going to leave Fairy Tail for some guy?"
"No no no no no!" she said panicking and shook her head wildly, "I'm never going to leave Fairy Tail, but things are very complicated right now. You see, Mako and I-"
"You don't have to explain yourself," A cold voice suddenly interrupted. Everyone turned their attention to the ice mage. His fists were clenched, but his expression was calm, "It's none of ours business what Lucy decides. No one is forced to join Fairy Tail," Gray said hard, and turned around to leave. His hands were in his pockets and his hair hung down, and hid his eyes. He couldn't bear to hear Lucy say she loved ´that guy´.
Natsu opened his mouth to back-talk Gray, but closed it again and twisted into a pained expression.
"You can always come back," he mumbled and his hands hung loosely down his sides.
"Natsu," Lucy began, but he lifted a stopping hand, and turned around to leave too. Lucy felt an unbelievable pain in her chest and had to clench her teeth together. She couldn't watch her friends walk away.
Alica stood in a couple of seconds and just stared at the scenery, and then she took two long steps toward Mako.
"Alica, you know I love you –" He began, but Alica slammed her hand against his face. The tears streamed down her cheeks. The sound echoed loudly and everyone turned their heads to look after the source.
"IDIOT!" She yelled and turned on the heel and ran to follow the two boys. Her sobs echoed a long time after she was gone.
"I WANT MY KEYS!" Lucy cried out. She was done with this plan, she wanted to go back to Fairy Tail and apologize to everyone. Mako had disappeared, to look after Alica and she didn't know what to do anymore. She had to speak to someone about it. Her spirits.
She stood outside her father's office; he stood in the door and looked at her with cold eyes.
"I'm not going to give you that magical tool," her father just said with crossed arms.
"It's not your decision. There mine, I want them back," Lucy said angrily.
"Forget it," he just responded, waved rejecting and slammed the door behind him. Lucy kept standing and stared at the door for a second, and then she lowered her head and fought to hold the tears in.
"Miss Lucy," a gentle voice whispered and she felt the familiar hands on her arms. She turned her head and looked down at the little woman. She looked worried.
"Supetto," Lucy said and swallowed.
"Don't worry, dear," she said calming, "I know where your keys is – do you want me to get them for you?" She asked and patted her hand.
"Tree days?" Gray said disbelieving, "Why is the train first leaving in tree days?"
"I'm sorry, sir," the little man mumbled, and looked like he couldn't care less. Gray, Natsu and Alica stood at the station and talked to one of the train drivers. He had just told them about a problem with the train, and they had to wait until tomorrow.
"It's settled then!" Natsu cried out happily, and lifted a fist in excitement, "No trains – we walk!"
"I wonder if there's a Hotel nearby." Gray mumbled and ignored Natsu's comment.
"Hey, no! We walk." Natsu said.
"Did you see anywhere to sleep here, Alica?" Gray asked and turned his back to Natsu.
"HEY!" Natsu yelled. Angry to be ignored.
"Did you say anything?" Gray said and finally looked at Natsu with a cold stare.
"Don't act so high and mighty." Natsu said and clenched his teeth.
"What are you going to do about it?" Gray said. He almost wanted Natsu to start a fight; he needed to get some of his anger out of the system.
"Shut up, both of you," Alica suddenly cried out and both boys widen their eyes in surprise, when the asphalt under their feet started to crack and shake dangerously.
"What's happening?" Natsu said confused.
"Alica, are you doing th – ARRG!" two long green plants suddenly shot up from the underground and hit both Natsu and Gray, so they were punched in opposite few people on the station looked up in surprise, when the two boys were thrown in each side of the station and crushed the fragile stonewalls, so stones and dust flew around.
"Open! Gate of the lion, Leo!" Lucy said loudly, as soon as she was alone. Her key shined and exploded in golden light and smoke.
"You called," the familiar warm voice said, and Loke appeared in front of her, his sunglasses shined as he scanned the room. She sighed loudly and collapsed were she stood.
"Wow!" Loke exclaimed surprised and caught her shoulders before she hit the floor, "what's wrong, Lucy? Lucy!" His voice was filled with worry, and he shook her lightly. She lifted her head and saw into the familiar and friendly eyes behind the sunglasses.
"Loke," Lucy said with a weak voice, "I'm done." Lucy's legs shook and Loki gently sat her down and kneeled in front of her.
"What are you talking about? What happened?" Loke said frustrated and looked around for enemies.
"It's not a fight," she said quietly.
"Please Lucy, I'm no mind reader, why did you call me?" Loke asked and put a finger under her chin. She let him lift her head a little and looked into his worried eyes.
"I'm getting married …" was all Lucy could mumble. Loke flicked in surprise, but then he got a far-away look in his eyes.
"Oh … Gray or Natsu?"
"WHAT? No!" Lucy exclaimed, and suddenly forgot to be sad.
"Hmm … then it must be …" he laid a finger on his cheek in wonder.
"Please don't guess," Lucy said and couldn't stop a little smile, "You don't know him. His name is Mako."
"What? Why haven't you told me I had a new love rival?" Loke said teasing and crossed his arms. Lucy made a little laugh and shook her head, "You're smiling!" Loke said triumphing and smiled too."But seriously …" Loke said and his smile disappeared, "Why are you sad about that?"
"Well …" Lucy said and her smile faded slowly. She started to explain everything to Loke – about the ´fake wedding´ and everything else. Loki listened in silence, except for silent groans and sighs. Lucy almost got tears in her eyes, when she was telling about the kiss, and Loke made a hiss in anger.
"That bastard," Loke said disgusted, "doesn't he know he has to be a more private place, when he has a girlfriend already."
"What?" Lucy said stunned and lifted an eyebrow.
"Oh … um … I mean … that bastard, doesn't he know he shouldn't play with a young girls feelings!" Loke hurried to correct himself. Lucy made a huge smile and threw her arms around his neck.
"Thanks, Loke." She mumbled.
"I didn't do anything," Loke said, but returned the hug anyway.
"You did a lot," Lucy mumbled, "I really need a friend, right now, and everybody else either hate me, or think I betrayed them."
"No, they don't," Loke disagreed and pushed her a little away, so he could look her in the eyes, "I don't think anyone can hate you, Lucy. But of course everyone would be sad to lose you. That's probably why their mad."
Lucy tried to force a smile, but she suddenly couldn't hold the tears back, and she hurried to cover her eyes with a hand.
"Th – thank you, Loki. R – really," she said with a shaking voice, "I'm pathetic ... I kn - know ..."
"Just cry, I don't mind." Loke whispered.
That was the last drop. The tears flowed out and she exclaimed loud sobs in pain. She felt Loke's gentle hand around her again, but that only made her cry more. She grabbed around his shirt and buried her head in it, while the tears ran out and soaked it.
"It's okay," Loke whispered and stroke her hair gently, "Everything's going to be okay. You love someone else, don't you?"
Lucy nodded while she kept sobbing down his shirt.
"Gray's lucky, you know," Loke said and kept stroking her hair.
I thought Loke would be the best in this situation, right? So what did you think - please let me know in the reviews. :D
I haven't had much time lately, so I have kinda hurried to update this. So if there's some grammar errors I'm sorry; Lightkit, please don't kill me (Beta on another story) xD ^_^
