Aclaration: Fairy Tail does not belong to me or its characters, it belongs to its creator Hiro Mashima
Prompt 4: Note (July 4)
After the war against Alvarez Fairy Tail increased its popularity exorbitantly because everyone appreciated the wizards who saved Fiore from its destruction. Even if the conflict left repercussions in several cities, citizens tried to focus their attention on the positive things. Taking advantage of the great interest, Jason published in Weekly Sorcerer a complete article about the main magicians who stopped Zeref and Acnologia.
From the success of the magazine grew bigger fan clubs dedicated to the Fairy Tail wizards with intensity, even Master Makarov had a fan club for him. But by far the one who had a massive success was Natsu Dragneel known as Salamander, in the article he had had full pages for only him, after all he was the one who defeated Zeref and Acnologia. The new fame mattered little to him, Natsu was too focused on fighting, going on missions and eating to recognize the interest that he caused among females.
The others were not far behind, Gray also made the fans delirious to Juvia's disgust, Wendy had captivated thousands of hearts with her cuteness, Erza had a great club made up of both men and women and even the symbol was a cake of Strawberry and Lucy was a resounding success mainly among the male population. The celestial spirits magician was practically new compared to the others who for years already had fan clubs (small but they existed), Lucy was a novelty and her fans grew more and more.
The article that caused all these effects, gave all kinds of information about the magicians, their tastes, their relationships and the consolidated teams within the guild. Team Natsu was the most popular because all the members of it were famous by themselves, together they were more so.
At first, the Fairy Tail magicians had to admit that they liked the attention they received, their damage was no longer so blamed and in different places they received a lot of positive messages. But as time passed, it began to be suffocating, there were admirers who did not respect limits and persecuted a magician for who knows what. Gray was scared at one point, he felt like he had like 30 Juvias around him every time he went out on the street but Juvia who was not going to let anyone take away her Gray-sama, scared away all those stalkers and removing a worry grom the ice wizard. Nobody wanted to find out what her methods were. Erza with her terrifying character left a very clear message as soon as admirers exceeded a limit, since that incident nothing else happened. Wendy had no problems with her fans, they were very respectful with the girl and if at some point one was complicated, Charle made sure they didn't mess with the dragon slayer. Lucy's club was very respectful to her, no one wanted to be burned to the bone , courtesy of Natsu. Happy also took care if some admirer ever got too close to the blonde, he had his own manners of deal with crazy admirers. Natsu had no problems, as he did not pay attention to anyone who was not his friends.
Everything exploded one day in the guild when they found out that a club had been formed against their beloved celestial mage. Most of that group were Salamander's admirers who didn't like that the blonde is so close to the dragon slayer. They had propagandized against her, spread rumors, and spoke ill of her in general. Lucy's fans had done everything possible to counteract her hatred and bad vibes, in that sense they were very faithful towards the magician. The guild found out thanks to Gajeel, who found a poster that said why the blonde shouldn't belong to Fairy Tail, a poster that wasn't removed by fans of the celestial spirit mage. The paper was read by all the members, provoking anger in all those who laid their eyes on those slanders.
Erza was extremely angry, the Master was outraged, Gray was grumpy and even Juvia was extremely angry. The blonde wasnt yet in the guild, she was on a mission together with Natsu and Happy but just at the moment that everyone was reading that atrocity, the magician with the dragon slayer and the exceed entered the guild shouting "We are back".
- Is something wrong guys? - Asked the blonde, capturing how tense the atmosphere was. Natsu looked confused at the reaction of the guild members.
- Does it have something to do with us? - Asked the exceed flying over Natsu's head
-No Happy, it has to do with Lucy. -Mirajane answered calmly although seconds before she was in Satan Soul mode out of anger.
NAtsu became more interested in the subject, he was going to say something but the ice mage took a step forward. Lucy just thought what the hell was something about her about.
- Don't tell her anything. - Gray snapped. He didn't want Lucy to read such insults.
- What are you guys talking about? - Lucy spoke. They all looked at her with pity and the blonde didn't like that. Lucy was beginning to exasperate.
- Gray, she deserves to know. - said Erza decisively and handed the blonde a piece of paper. Lucy took it and began to read it. Gray snapped at the action.
Master didn't say anything about it, he wanted to know the girl's reaction before saying anything. If he were up to him he would look at that moment for the scoundrels who did that but it was not his choice, the new Master was Laxus who observed everything in silence.
- What's going on? - asked Natsu who still didn't understand anything. He was impatient if it had to do with Lucy, it was important.
While Natsu, Gray and Erza argued, the blonde finished reading. Her eyes showed complete anger and in a very small amount sadness. What was said on the paper hurt the feelings of the blonde but she didn't let herself to manifest, she wasn't someone weak as the paper said.
- Where did this come from? - whispered the blonde. Natsu went straight to her and took the paper and read it.
No one answered, no one knew who had written it.
- I found it in a neighboring city, on my mission. There were dozens scattered around the streets. - Gajeel spoke in a deep voice, he was also angry.
Natsu, who by that time had already finished read the paper, became extremely angry and burned the paper to ashes. Who had dared to spread such lies about his best friend?
- Natsu. - Lucy whispered when she saw him angry. Natsu had a serious look on his face, she could tell the sheer magnitude of the anger emanated.
- Lucy, you have to know that no one in the guild believes in that. You're a great Magician of Fairy Tail. - Erza came over and hugged her.
- Yes, Lu-chan. Don't worry, we'll find who did this and make them pay. - said Levy who joined the hug
"Juvia won't let anyone speak ill of Rival de Amor." Juvia said.
Natsu was already storming out of the guild until lightning stopped his path, Natsu turned around to look at Laxus.
- Natsu, you will not go alone. You don't even know where to go. We will first have to find out who did this. - Said the dragon slayer of the lightning seriously.
Natsu snorted in disgust, returned to Lucy's side who was no longer being squeezed by her friends.
- No Master, nothing happens. Don't give more weight to the matter, they are only people who want to attract attention. And I refused to give it to them even though they speak ill of me. I know what I'm asking is difficult, I'm angry too. But I won't let stupidity like that keep me worried. - Lucy sentenced.
- But Luce. - claimed the dragon slayer of fire.
- But nothing Natsu, it's not worth it. I just want to be in peace and go on missions with you guys. - Said the magician with a smile.
Makarov was proud of Lucy's mature reaction, if she was not affected by it, the guild would do whatever she wanted. Laxus nodded to the blonde's words, it made sense.
- It's okay Lucy. But listen up everyone: even if we don't do an investigation, everyone has permission to kick butts if you hear something related to Lucy. I want all eyes to be on anything. - Laxus demanded.
- Thanks guys. - thanked Lucy
All Fairy Tail returned to its typical atmosphere, Lucy went to sit at the bar as she used to. Instead of going to fight, Natsu followed her partner and sat with her, Happy went to look for Charle.
- Luce. - Natsu spoke looking seriously at the stars mage.
- Tell me. -Lucy blusshed, the magician was very close to her and his eyes were very serious.
- You are nothing of what we read, you are very strong, I don't know what I would do without you. - Natsu was sincere.
- Thanks, I know. I don't care about the opinion of others, only yours, i means, of everyone in the guild. You are important to me.
- I know. -Natsu gave him one of his typical smiles and shot out to join a fight that formed in the center of the guild.
Lucy smiled, that event would not tarnish her happiness in Fairy Tail. She believed that it would be a fact that it would be forgotten.
However, something extra happened in her case, unlike others the Heartfilia girl had a lot of haters, people who for inexplicable and foolish reasons hated her. This strange fame Lucy didn't care at all, the people who hated her were nothing compared to all those people who supported her. She was happy to have moments of peace and to be with all her friends going on missions and being happy.
The main people in charge of all of this were fans of Salamander, jealous that Lucy spent so much time with their idol. But they didn't succeed with their mission, the more hatred they sent to the Heartfilia, the more Natsu became attached to her, he took care of her like a guard dog.
The blonde's initial request was ignored, this was progressing a lot and an investigation was started in the guild, Lucy trusted that her colleagues would solve everything. As she was the victim, they asked her to stay away from the matter and she accepted, Natsu didn't participate either, although he wasn't lacking in desire for it. He stayed with Happy and Lucy.
Natsu felt a little guilty that his fans were the ones who tried to harass his best friend, but then the guilt turned to anger, he never asked to have fans, he didn't even like having them. He hated them most of all for what they did and said towards Lucy.
One day while she and Happy entered the blonde's apartment, they found her in her bed crying while she held a note in her hands.
- I, Natsu, I know I shouldn't care but ...- Natsu hugged her, interrupting her.
Lucy leaned against Natsu's chest letting out a few sobs, the fire wizard was hurt by the whole situation, the wizard didn't deserve any of this. While he comforted Lucy, he began to read the note. In it said that Lucy was a weak mage, that she didn't deserve to be in Natsu's team, that she only got in the way and that she should be stay away from Natsu Dragneel or it would have serious consequences for her, highlighting the fact that they knew where she lived. This sent how little prudence Natsu had to the hell, he was angry and he was going to kill those who wrote that shit. Who dared threaten his Lucy? But before he had to solve the sadness of his best friend, he decided to grab her by the shoulders and force her to look into his eyes. Happy only looked with tears in his eyes at her kinda adoptive mom, her sadness affected him.
-Look Lucy, listen to me well, you're the most incredible and strong person I know, maybe you are not physically strong like Erza or like me. But you are the one with the greatest emotional strength, for you it does not matter who has hurt you or not, you treat everything the same, you are extremely intelligent, you don't discriminate against anyone despite their past, you are kind, you sincerely forgive, something that many members of Fairy Tail nor I have been able to do it for real. You have suffered as much or more than all of us have, and yet you manage to overcome your own sadness to smile and make us smile. You are extremely loyal to the guild and you love us with all your heart, just as we love you. You are the most powerful celestial mage that exists, Yukino cannot even use the star dress, Lucy if it weren't for you I would have become END and I couldn't have defeated Acnologia if you hadn't used Fairy Sphere. Don't let anyone tell you that you are weak, less people who do not even know how to use magic and are cowards to hide behind an anonymous note. - Natsu said from the depths of his heart.
- Natsu, thank you. Lucy whispered, affected by his words.
- Trust yourself like I trust you. -Natsu supported his forehead against hers.
- Lushi, you are the best. I love you very much and Natsu is right, you're very strong. - Happy said joining the family hug.
Lucy laughed and hugged them both tightly, happy to be loved and appreciated. Natsu detached himself from the hug and made a serious face.
- Happy stay with Lucy. I will go and beat up those who dared to threaten the woman I love. - Natsu ordered and immediately left with the note out the window.
- Aye. - Happy said
Lucy turned red when Natsu ran out, she repeated the words over and over in her head, "he loves me" she thought and her heart beat happily, she loved him too.
-He said he loves me. -she said with a smile and with her face red as tomato, she fainted with emotion.
While a fainted Lucy was tucked away by a blue cat ,on the other side of town a certain fire wizard was burning a building and beating many people, they would spend months in the hospital. They deserved it for leaving a threatening note at the home of his beloved.
