A/N: Hey everyone, it's been so long and I wanna apologize for that. Been depressed, not too extreme, but where I have no motivation to even care about anything. Recently been taking these pills, and as you can see ? I'm back! Lol. Also school is a bitch ? ﾟﾑﾌ
And a little advice from me, don't let others drag you down. Don't let others tell you what you can or can't do. Don't let the misfortune of what you can't do, discourage you. You are strong, stronger than you think. And you can do anything, if you believe that you can do it. And never give up. Love you ?
^.^ Please enjoy? ?
She ponders about her existence, and why she felt so lonely. Everyday, she can hear the lonely echoes in her ears. The echoes speaks, and it repeats the same thing over and over.
"You're not alone."
She doesn't understand what it means. She can't comprehend it. The lonely echoes of the endless lies and deception that she had convinced herself.
"Lucy.
Lucy looked up slightly, her eyes still focused on the table.
"Can you tell me what's wrong?"
"..." Lucy remained silent while she contemplated on what she should do. She felt conflicted as she massaged the fork in her hands.
Amidst the little icing battle, Lucy noticed how she only thought about revenge and sending another spoonful of icing towards Erza's way. After so long, she actually had fun, and she doesn't know if she should be scared, hopeful, or sad.
Erza tapped on the table with a rhythm, and stared at the young blonde on the other side of the table. "I'm here for you."
Lucy remained silent, terrified of what she might say, unsure of what to think.
Erza hummed for a second before a smirk played on her face as she scooted her chair a little to the side, closer to Lucy. "Speechless? Little blonde?"
"Huh?"
"Are you speechless?" Erza smirked, scooting a little more closer to the blonde.
"... Why would I be speechless?" Lucy questioned.
"Because you're nervous." Erza scooted even closer.
Lucy's heart began to beat a little faster, anxious that the redhead girl may had figured it out. "... About...?"
Then Erza was shoulder-to-shoulder with Lucy and wrapped her arm around the blonde. And spoke with a playful jokingly tone, "Because you have a crush on me, and you can't look at me properly hehe." Erza jokingly smirked.
Lucy blushed a little, surprised by what the blonde said. Though a little relieved that it wasn't what she thought initially. "W-What?"
Erza playfully pulled on Lucy's cheek, "You heard me, and don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
Lucy turned her head and looked st Erza, noticing how close she was to her. Her strong arms around her, her soft fingers softly pulling her cheek. What was going on? Lucy blushed a little more and tried pulling away a little.
But Erza had other plans. Pulling Lucy closer to her, and leaned in to kiss her cheek.
Lucy's heart was beating a little faster now and blushed even more. "U-um.."
Then Erza wrapped her arms around the blonde and nuzzled against Lucy's cheek. "You're cute Lucy. You're sweet. You're amazing. You're strong. You're unique. You're special. One of a kind. And I love you. We all love you, Lucy."
All Lucy could focus on was the fact that Erza was nuzzling against her, and all she could think is how adorable that was. And she didn't want it to stop. So she moved her arms around the redhead girl and hugged her, not wanting her to stop the nuzzling act.
Erza smiled and hugged her a little tighter. "Don't forget that, alright?"
"Huh?" Lucy suddenly came back to Earth.
"What I just said." Erza stopped the nuzzling and pulled back a little to look at the blonde.
"...Um... What did you say?" Lucy asked.
"..." Erza wondered what made the blonde to hug her back.
"S-Sorry... I was focusing on the way you were nuzzling..." Lucy nervously stuttered, a hint of embarrassment evident in her voice.
Erza snickered when she heard that. "Really? You like nuzzling? Then I'll go that everyday for you, if you promise not to hurt yourself anymore."
Lucy immediately and unconsciously nodded her head, craving more of that nuzzling.
Erza smiled and kissed Lucy's cheek and nuzzled it, thinking that she finally found a solution to help Lucy smile and be happy.
Lucy blushed more, but slightly smiled and hugged Erza as she nuzzled her. "T-T... Thanks..."
...
Couple hours later, it was finally night time, and Lucy had fallen asleep, due to the soothing contact that Erza was doing. Erza decided to scoop her up in her arms and carried her to the bed and gently laid her onto the soft bedding.
She stepped back and looked st the blonde sleeping, and gently smiled.
Couple seconds later, Erza realized the things she said and started to blush. Being close to the blonde had unintentionally caused her heart yo skip a beat. Nuzzling made it beat faster. And the kiss on the cheek... Erza was too busy trying to make Lucy smile.
Knock knock.
Erza turned at the sound of her door knocking and went to open it, revealing Mira with her usual smile.
"Hey Erza." Mira smiled.
"Hey."
"Just checking up on Lucy, and if there is anything that you need."
"Lucy is doing great actually." Erza smiled. "And can you get some cake ingredients? And extra icings?"
"I'm really happy to hear that. Where is she? And the cake ingredients will be taken care of."
"She's sleeping right now, and thanks."
Mira was about to say something else before a brunette roughly entered with a loud bang.
"Good morning bitches!" Cana slurred.
"Cana, it's night time" Mira sighed.
Cana paused for a second. "So?... Is it really? Who cares? Where's Lucy? I wanna take her to a bar. I miss my drinking buddy."
"She was never your drinking buddy." Erza crossed her arms.
"She wasn't?" Cana scratched her head for a second. "Hmm... Well she will be in the next few minutes."
"Take another step, I won't hesitate to cut you." Erza scowled.
Cana drunkenly stared at the redhead, wobbling slightly. Mira stood in the background, interested in what would happen.
"No fair man... Only you get to see Lucy, but I can't?" Cana whined.
"She's sleeping."
"Can't I just watch her?"
"No!"
"I bet you stare at her"
"I-"
"Like a pervert."
In a spilt second, a sword was formed, and Erza harshly smashed the sword extremely close to Cana. "Leave."
She wasn't asking. She was ordering Cana to leave. And she will do it with force if she have to.
"Eh?" Cana looked at the sword that cut too close to where she stood. "Be careful with these. Someone can get hurt."
Mira snickered a little before grabbing the back of Cana's shirt and pulled her back. "We're going yo take our leave then.
"Eh?! Already?! Erza didn't even serve us tea!"
"Why would I serve a drunk bitch tea?" Erza muttered angrily.
"A bitch? You're the bitch since you're hogging Lucy all to yourself! Who knows what you'd be doing to her. I bet you're doing naughty things with her, hehe" Cana hiccupped between. her sentences and wobbled with a drunkened grin.
Erza blushed and glared murderously at Cana, while Mira smirked and snickered.
"I'll be leaving with Cana, and Erza? Be sure not to be rough." Mira winked before she grabbed Cana and rushed out of Erza's apartment and disappeared.
Erza blushed more and let a agitated groan before closing and locking her door. She rested her head on the door and closed her eyes to review what just happened.
Why is she feeling so flustered right now? Why is her heart beating so fast?
Erza straighten herself and turned to walk to where Lucy is sleeping. Then Cana's voice rang in her mind about what she said. 'I bet you stare at her. like a pervert.'
"I don't stare..." Erza mumbled, with a red tint on her cheeks. "...maybe a little? O-Only because I'm concerned!" A darker blush formed on her cheeks.
What was going on? Erza can't stop thinking about it. That beautiful smile, gorgeous hair, and her heavenly eyes. The very embodiment of an angel, and Erza is captivated.
Then her lips... Jeezus... Is she...
Erza gently slapped herself as her heart beat heavily against her chest. "I need to get myself together. I need to stop thinking like this. This isn't a time to be having these thoughts..."
Erza looked past the doorframe and onto a sleeping figure of the blonde. She is going to do everything to make sure Lucy is happy anoccuring. Even with these new thoughts occuring.
