*Lisanna's p.o.v*
"It's okay babe, I guess the cats outta the bag now," Bixlow grinned letting his tongue roll out as he smirked at Natsu. This statement caused the entire guild to look our way and fix us with their disbelieving stares. I gulped and put on my best poker face if we were going to pull this off we needed to make it believable. Especially with Bixlow still wearing the maids uniform that I'd issued him as part of his penalty. Yeah I was severely regretting that decision right more and more with every passing second, why couldn't I just have made him dress like a butler instead? I wanted to face palm myself.
"Are you sure hun?" I asked, looking up at Bixlow's face and batting my eyelashes.
"Yeah I'm sure, don't want anyone else trying to steal MY girl," He replied looking at me until the 'my girl' bit where he directed his visor clad face to look at Natsu. That made me shiver in delight, he was being very convincing.
"WHAT THE HELL?! Natsu yelled, managing to find his voice again after the initial shock had worn off. Hmm this might be slightly harder to pull off than I first thought, damn myself and my unthinking brain! But thank you Bix for going along with it at all!
"What the hell, what? I ask patiently, turning my attention back to the half confused half fuming dragon slayer. Was that smoke I could see coming from this ears?
"Why him? I thought you still liked me like that from when we were kids? I can't believe you'd choose that creepy freak over me?!" Natsu ranted pointing his finger between the 3 of us. I sighed catching the sight of Lucy still crying out of the corner of my eye, I was at my limit, not only had he made my friend cry with his dense idiocy but he had insulted another close friend of mine/ fake boyfriend. I was going to crucify the guy!
"Bixlow is NOT creepy or a freak," I hissed at the still raging fire mage who quickly quieted down and paled at my tone of voice. "Why him you ask? Because he actually has an idea of what to do around girls, even though he can be a pervert, he's my close friend and we get along really well. We have a lot in common and I love to spend time with him!" I finished my first part of the answer. Everything I'd just said were my true feelings on the matter, so what if I didn't particularly like his babies, didn't mean the guy himself was creepy! He was a sweetheart and more people needed to see that side of him. I took a deep breath and continued.
"I like you as a brother figure and that is that, in Edolas I watched Natsu Dragion and Lucy Ashley be together for two whole years and that made me realize what my real feelings for you were!" I replied, starting to loose my own temper with how badly blind this guy could be. Everyone had silly crushes when they were kids, that were usually grown out of by the time puberty hit.
"He is a freak," Natsu muttered at me seeing as I wasn't going to continue speaking. I felt something snap in the back of my mind, that was it he had crossed the line!
"Now you listen here Dragneel." I stalked forward venom lacing my words. Those few paces away from Bixlow and his protective arms felt like far too much distance for my liking. It also made me feel sad that his warmth was gone. "I will not tolerate you saying that sort of thing about MY boyfriend. Bixlow is a great guy and at least he doesn't make his best friend and partner cry!" I pointed at Lucy here, who was still hiding behind her bangs.
"It's not my fault she got the wrong idea about us!" Natsu bellowed back at me losing his own temper again. The whole guild grasped at his words and I heard an audible sob come from Lucy's direction. Oh no he didn't!
"Well let me explain it to you then, you overgrown geeko," I ground my teeth at him remembering my long talks with Lucy; that we had when ever we had the chance to catch up. I started digging up the information I needed to really nail Natsu's ass to the wall, he'd made a huge mistake pissing me off!
"You saved her from been kidnapped by that Bora guy, you brought her to fairytail, formed a team with and choose her as your first partner, saved her from phantom lord twice (I left out the details there, as I didn't want to upset Gajeel and lose any hard earned points where him and Levy were concerned), you sneak into her apartment every night and sleep in her bed with her, you saved her life on tenroujima against that Kain Hikaru guy, you uprooted a Sakura tree and sent it floating down the river past her bedroom window when she was too sick to be at the annual blossom festival party herself, the way you reacted about everything that happened to her at the GMG,you've seen her naked and touched her boobs multiple times! Do I need to continue with the list of ways that you've made her get the wrong idea dumbass?!" I finished panting slightly from lack of air after my rant.
"She's right you know," Several onlookers said to my list of misleading events. I went back to Bixlow's side and mouthed 'thank you' to him seeing as my back was turned to most of the guild, including Natsu so they couldn't see it. He nodded his head at me letting me know 'your welcome' before he put his arm back round my shoulder, so we could continue our charade. It really did feel nice having him hold me like this.
"Th...that's got nothing to do with why you're with Bixlow, which I still don't believe!" He stuttered pointing his finger at me again trying to get off the subject of how he knew he'd wronged Lucy. I shook my head at the guy, I guess there was no helping this, it had to be done to get that brat to understand.
"Don't believe me hey?!" I snarled with a vein starting to pop out of my forehead, I was starting to see why Gajeel and Gray didn't like this guy. I turned to my side and reached my hand up to Bixlow's face turning it to face me. His face was a picture, his mouth was slightly open in shock at the sudden touch of my hand on his face and I could see through the slits of his helmet that his eyes were wide too. Thank god for his visor I thought pulling his face closer to mine. We would be in deep crap if anyone could see just how shocked by this action he was. I let my eyes flutter closed as his face got ever closer to mine, making it look like I was really a girl behaving romantically with her boyfriend, I really hoped this would do the trick. With that I pressed my lips against Bixlow's feeling how he didn't react for a fraction of a second before starting to go with the flow. His lips started to move against my own and I let my arms wrap around his neck and pushed my body into his. I pulled away from the kiss after a few minutes blushing profusely for two reasons. One I'd really enjoyed that kiss and Two I'd just kissed, Bixlow in front of the entire guild!
"Still don't believe me?" I asked turning back round to face the shocked expressions of everyone. Well it was obvious we had succeeded in convincing them. I turned to my left where Lucy was now staring at the pair of us and trying to process everything that was going on while, by the looks of it, her heart and world was crumbling faster and faster by the minute. I reluctantly pulled away from the soul mage and step behind him to grab Lucy's hand. Giving her hand a gently tug to get her off of her seat and enveloped her in a big hug which she returned hiding her face in my shoulder as she silently shook. Well there went my match making plans for her...I'd just have to find someone else who'd never make her cry and really would treat her like a princess. I smiled bitterly at that thought, in a way this was all my fault and I was going to make it up to the blonde shaking in my arms no matter what.
"Lis...anna what are you doing?" Natsu stammered, trying to take in everything himself.
"I am currently comforting one of my very close friends who is in a dire state of distress at this moment in time," I said with a cold tone glaring at the pinkett over Lucy's shoulder. I wanted to smile at how Natsu flinched as the full meaning of my words hit him, this was his doing.
"Take Lucy back to Fairy Hills Lisanna," Bixlow said tapping my back. "She doesn't need the whole guild seeing her like this." He whispered in my ear. I felt my heart swell with a weird emotion at his concern for our guild mate. He truly would make someone an excellent boyfriend...if only it could be me. I stopped at that thought, no now was not the time for this I had to protect Lucy from any more harm.
"Yeah that's a good idea. I'll see you tomorrow hun okay?" I smiled up at him, as I looked over my shoulder trying to keep up the lovers act as long as possible. I let Lucy out of my embrace, took her hand and lead her past the idiot towards the guild doors.
"Wait a minute I'm coming too," Levy called out rushing up to us holding a sleeping Asuka in her arms. Whoops I'd totally forgotten about her with all of that drama that had just taken place. I stopped at the door and turned my head back before taking Lucy out of there so we could have an emergency girls meeting.
"Oh by the way Natsu don't come crying to me or anyone when you finally realize your true feelings for Lucy and she's moved on," I called casually, giving the guy a pointed glare. "Because believe me when I say this we," I pointed to Levy and myself."Will find her someone a million times better!" With that said I whirled back around and left towing a silent Lucy behind me.
