Chapter 6
Time: 10:45am date:23rd February **** (past) place: Fairy Tail High school
Perspective 3rd person/ Lucy Heartfillia/ small Natsu Dragoneel
It had been just over a week since she had decided to start her friendship between herself and Lisanna. And already Lucy would say that the pro's outweighed the con's. Lisanna was everything she thought the girl was before and some more. She had proved herself that she harboured no feelings toward a Natsu, even embarrassed Lucy and said she thought that he and herself would be the perfect couple. Little did she know. Lucy had decided that she wouldn't tell anyone of her so called crush, it was best to keep it that way with how she and Natsu were at the moment.
While her friendship with Lisanna was escalating quickly, hers and Natsu's had taken a turn for the worse. Before they would talk every day, they now wouldn't share a glance. Neither felt comfortable in each other's presence. They both wanted to talk to each other, yet their minds were swarmed with the argument they partook. Guilt in saying the truth so harshly and being too stubborn to apologise, to add to it, they didn't want to admit anymore of the truth in their feelings due to the result of last time. They were falling apart to say the least. Both hurt.
"Hey Lucy!" Breaking out of her thoughts, she realised where she was. A little embarrassment showed up due to her cheeks turning pink. She was sitting with Levy and Lisanna, discussing plans on what they should do at the weekend (they had both previously decided they were stopping around Lucy's without telling her) when she had zones out.
"Sorry, sorry. I was just in another world for a moment there. What did I miss?" Her lips twitched and formed a half apologetic smile. Levy was the first to answer her, placing a hand on her shoulder and eyebrows furrowing in concern.
"This isn't the first time today, let alone all week. Lucy… are you sure you're ok?" Her hand squeezed gently, before adding "We're friends right? You would tell me or Lisanna if anything is wrong, if there was, so you don't need to hesitate."
For the shorter, blue haired girl, to do these actions worried Lucy. Levy had never had to justify the bond of their friendship before, or go as far as to tell Lucy she could tell her anything. It was a bond they made without it needed to be spoken. Even so, Lucy knew she was hiding the fact of her and Natsu away from Levy. Yes, she never asked, therefore she didn't need to say anything, but the girls always told each other everything, this shouldn't be a difference.
"Levy…" The blonde hesitated, unsure of what to tell her exactly. "Please don't worry about me, I've just been distracted recently." She sighed and looked at Levy. The smaller girl looked unsure, she knew that Lucy was hiding something, but knew her boundaries.
"I promise to tell you soon, ok? Just let me think things through before I ask for advice." It's the least I can do for you. Everyone knew that it wasn't fun to be a bystander, hell, she knew Levy had a suspicion of what had happened and even kept to herself, allowing Lucy to tell her in her own time.
Allowing a small smile to creep up on her face (the most genuine she could handle) and placed her hand on Levy's, giving a small nod. Levy seemed to understand and reply using the same nod (only with a hint of hesitation) before releasing her hand and dropping it to her side. Lucy peered over to Lisanna, who also wore a concerned expression.
"Come on guys! I want to know what's happening before my house is evaded and potentially raided by you two!" Lucy tried to put as much enthusiasm in her words as possible, empathising by turning to Lisanna and pinching her cheeks. The girl in returned squealed and tried to pried Lucy's hands off while giving out a cheerful laugh. A second laughter from Lucy joined in before a third from Levy, who stood behind with a hand on her head, shaking it slightly due to Lucy's childish acts.
Once the atmosphere had returned, the girls returned to their discussion about the weekend. But something was off. Lucy could feel someone staring at her, but every time she looked out of the corner of her eye, she found nothing abnormal. So instead she shrugged it off, she had been feeling a lot of things recently, and with everything going on, she just decided that it was her emotions running wild. Turning back to the girls, she asked them what movies they would like to watch when they came over.
What the female had missed was a person walking further down the hall from them. He had been watching over the two females, in attempt to try and talk to Lisanna, or see if Lucy was ready to apologise. Neither had worked, and instead he was filled by bitterness. The person who he held close had easily left his side and taken the person he 'loves' with her, creating a friendship to replace him. His jaw tightened and teeth clenched. He felt jealousy. But over which one?
Lucy or Lisanna?
He was unsure, later on he would know for sure which one. But that was only after the eventful day, that had yet to come.
Please drop a review, tell me what you think might happen or what you like ^w^ I've mentioned before there will be small ships, but I ship Nalu, the ending is however you want to take it as in he could wanting either. Stronger Nalu will come later but right now Nalu and Nali is one sided.
