Prompt: "Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?" - I can't remember who requested this. I think it might've been Empress of Everything...


A Smile

Lucy stared at the maroon haired man before her with nothing but disbelief. She couldn't have just seen what she thought she had. That would just be ludicrous.

Cobra did not smile. Smirk, occasionally, yes. But smile? Never. Lucy had only heard him laugh once, and that was because he had been laughing at her. Though, she did manage to get a video of the Dragon Slayer rolling on the floor and laughing hysterically. That video had just been misplaced, apparently. Oh well.

But right then, Lucy was sure she had seen him smile. With her own lips curling up into a near devilish smirk, she asked, "Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?"

Cobra scoffed. "Don't be stupid, Bright Eyes."

The suspicious glance to the side only had Lucy squealing and reaching out to squeeze his cheek. "Oh, you so did," she laughed. Cobra could only roll his eyes and continue to let the blonde dote over him.

There was no stopping her once she started giggling and squeezing cheeks.
