Walking along the footpath of the large garden of the campus. Lucy was thinking of everything other than him
"Yellow, blue...green...yeah...such nice flowers...oh is that pink?" She gasps seeing rows of flowers
She freezes when she gets fragments of memory that then form a wholeass man infront of her eyes
Groaning with her whole body in motion, she walks away
And like he said Erza, Gray or Natsu...would come to pick them up at the hospital but then
Why does it always has to be him coming for me???!!! She flops on the benches
"You know...you sound like you are in denial" a deep voice startles from behind her
"Wha-what...Jay, you ass. You scared me" she holds her heart
He chuckles moving around the bench to sit, her bag being the separation
"You can't hide those feelings of yours, when they ar--"
"Too much...and I know I'm in denial like...we don't even have a proper conversation" Lucy looks away
"Please, he comes early to pick you up and that one time you were a minute late...he came to the reception to ask about you"
"Really?" She eyes a little wide
"Ha...see that face" he points "why don't you be the first one? I'm sure being in his field of work, the one time he gets to think about you is while travelling "
But he would keep the conversations short but would always ask if she had proper meals like a mom
"When is your next date with him?"
"Today" Lucy fidgets with her fingers
"So, make today a little productive"
"That's easy"
That's easy, bitch what were you even on? She curses herself as she sees natsu busy talking on phone
He didn't leave the call since she got on and its been 30 minutes and almost home
Not today, wrong day. Just try tomorrow lu. It's fine. You have mor--
"Right, lucy..." he stops her as she holds the handle "we have this little party coming. Will you join?" He finally hangs up on the caller
"Me? Uh..." she thinks, lips pressed
"I've already asked Juvia and Lev, it's you who is left"
"Ah...yeah, i'll come" she nods and just as she shuts the door "and i was thinking about what to wear,not about my girls"
"Something that counts you as my date" he says "Close the door" and she complies softly pushing it to lock
He drives off with a smirk plastered, growing fond of the blonde
Lucy stands before the gate, the redness on her cheeks matching her scraf
Did he just...but..it was..what?
"What was that? What was that?" Juvia wiggled her brows
"Uh uh...we heard you guys" levy smiles wide
"Oh please, give me something to calm my heart!" She holds their hands
•••••
"Were you productive?" Jay asks her as they sit in class
"I'm his date for a party"
And he froze, then blinked few times and opened his mouth but the professor interrupted
Lucy smiles to herself
That was way past being productive
Later that day, she joined Jay and her other classmates to a movie premiere and if anyone says time travel or parallel universe, lucy was a simp
After the end of the show, they came out talking about it. Mostly being confused or to make a discussion about what was right
"Lucy!" Someone calls her
She turns around, searching the familiar voice
"Here, hey" a hand taps her shoulder
"You"
"Did you come now? Or were you leaving?"
"Leaving..." she turns back to her group who were busy with themselves
"Wait...its kind of late. Let me drop you off" he holds her hand
"It's fine, I have people to go with"
"Why...why are you being so distant?"
"We will see each other everyday soon anyway, let me be myself atleast till then" she yanks her hand
"Dan...you coming or not!?" His buddy shouts and Lucy leaves the hurt eyed athlete
Leaning her head against the window, she has her thoughts run continuously. She was so lost, her classmate shakes her back to present dropping her at home in her car
"Ah right...I have the house for the whole night" she says closing the door entering the dark house
Tapping the walls to find the switch, she stumbles hitting something on the floor
"Ahh...what the hell..." body lean to the wall to hold her body steady and then the lights flicker back on without her help
Lucy looks around the house, all lights were switched on "guys!" She shouts "are you home?"
The fear was creeping up, juvia being her would not leave anything running for this long
"Wait...what di--" she looks back to the floor, a gasp leaving her mouth
Minutes later, the door bell rings multiple times, lucy jumps up from the couch
"What..happened? Where is it?"
