Loud laughter was heard even outside the bar. Loke sat there looking away while Gray Fullbuster and Cana Alberona laughed their heads off.
"Come on guys!" Loke whined blushing in embarrassment. "Stop laughing!"
"Okay, okay sorry!" Gray said and both of them went silent but they burst out laughing again and Loke fumed.
"I cant believe you man! Reservations in the name of Dorky? Epic!" Cana laughed.
"And dude, Black Storm? You know better than that! Those advertisements are full of baloney!" Gray said trying to suppress his laughter. Loke completely regretted opening up to these fools. He thought they might help him out a bit since Lucy's close to them and all blah blah but all they have done until now is laugh at his misery.
"What's your next plan?" Gray asked grinning mischievously.
Loke sighed ignoring his grin, "I've bought her this golden-"
"Ring!?" Gray and Cana gasped.
"-Pendant." Loke finished.
"Awww," both of them whined.
"Guys, we are in a public place. Behave." Loke rubbed his forehead.
"Pssh that coming from you? No way," Cana drank from her bottle for the nth time.
"Why don't you just be straightforward and tell her?" Gray sighed taking a sip of his drink.
"I can't" Loke said.
"Why...?" Gray and Cana asked in unison.
"Cause...I think she's not interested in me," Loke reasoned and Gray and Cana groaned and rolled their eyes at the same time.
"Seriously, what's wrong with you? You aren't the Loke I knew! The Loke I knew got any random girl just like that," Cana said snapping her fingers.
"Well Lucy isn't just 'any random girl'" Loke said rolling his eyes.
"Oh he's so love-sick man, I bet he stalks her too,"Cana grinned,
"I do not!" Loke protested.
"He stares at Lucy's photo whenever he's free you know?" Gray smirked and Cana laughed. "Gray..." Loke growled.
"Are you guys helping me or not?" Loke asked, his patience wearing thin.
"Of course buddy! Here have this first," Cana pulled out a glass filled with a drink out of no where, in front of him. This female drank so much and remained sane, he wondered if she was daughter of wine god or something.
"What is this?" Loke asked narrowing his eyes.
"Oh don't worry! It's just a little refreshment," Cana winked.
%%%%% (^o^;)%%%%%
Climbing into his room through the window, Loke threw his coat in and fell on the floor with a loud thud.
He got up and shushed himself, his eyebrows arched up and he looked like trying to suppress a chuckle. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up, his tie was now hanging on his head and his spiky hair messy as ever. He didn't bother switching on the light or changing his clothes and fell onto his bed. He shut his eyes and snored and within 30 seconds his eyes snapped open as if he remembered something. He got up immediately and stretched, smiling to himself.
"Lucy, Lucy, Lucy..." he kept chanting her name. He dug out a pen from under his bed and started writing something on his hand. He jumped out of his window and pretended to act like a ninja.
He entered the Heartfilia's lawn and stared up at Lucy's window. He picked up a stone and threw it at her window. Looking around he whispered her name into the silent breeze. He threw another stone and called her name louder than a whisper.
Before Loke could get the idea of climbing into her room through the pipes, Lucy opened her window and peered out sleepily and Loke thought he was gonna pass out. Even in the middle of the night, her skin glowed, her doe eyes sparkled and her rosy lips up in a smile, pretty golden locks swayed with the breeze. He could see all flowers and stars around her.
In reality, her eye lids half closed, hair in an absolute mess and she scowled.
"Loke?" she croaked out in a hoarse voice. "What are you doing in the middle of the night, Loke?" she muttered sleepily.
"What are you doing...?" he asked stupidly. He grinned and began chanting her name all over again. He danced along in her lawn which looked utterly stupid.
"Rapanzel, Rapanzel, let down your hair!" he shouted bending to his knees. He hiccuped and chuckled, "No I'm wrong. Lucy, Lucy, let down your hair!"
Lucy managed to wake herself up from her sleepy state and her eyes widened in realization, "You're drunk!"
Loke let out a fake gasp. "'Course not dear! I don't drink!" Loke said. "No, never" he muttered as if assuring himself.
"Go back home Loke! You might get into trouble!" she said loudly. "We might get into trouble!" Lucy adjusted her volume.
However Loke was too busy in his own world to listen to her. "1, 2, 3, 20, 21, 55, 100, 2000 so many stars in the sky!" his speech slurred. "But they are not as pretty as my Lucy!" he gave out a goofy smile.
Lucy tried to suppress her smile and insisted, "Loke I'm begging you! Please go home!"
Loke frowned at her. He began searching his pockets madly.
Lucy sighed. "Okay stay right there I'm coming down," she said and turned on her heels.
"No wait!" he shouted.
Lucy stopped in her tracks and turned back to face him.
"I have written a poem for you," he grinned cheekily. Lucy's eyes widened and she gaped at him. She couldn't figure if she should slap him for waking her up this late or hug him to be so sweet.
Loke cleared his throat.
"Pretty, pretty rhymes with Lucy,
This is a poem by Loke, pretty Lucy,"
He stretched his arm and read from it in between.
"Orange juice is very juicy,
and the moon is very high uppy,
You look like a mess tonighty,
Whenever I see you my stomach goes butterfly-ee,
But..."
When Lucy heard the next lines, her heart stopped and blood rushed to her face.
The next thing Loke remembers was that Lucy threw a huge boulder on his face and everything blacked out.
%%%%% (O_o) %%%%%
Loke felt water droplets on his face. Slowly, he opened his eyes and saw flowers around him. He looked up and found himself face to face with Lucy.
"Wait no..."
"Mrs Heartfilia!" Loke shouted and sat up immediately. Lucy and her mother Layla resembled so much Loke thought she was Lucy.
"Dear, what are you doing here?" Layla Heartfilia asked, her eyebrows scrunched in confusion. "It's good I sprinkled some water on your face! I was going to call the ambulance!"
Loke observed his surroundings finally and was shocked to find himself in his neighbor's garden. He was knocked out on the flower bed, and was probably lying like a dead man. Where he had been resting his head was a pillow. He had a slight head ache and he was having difficulty in remembering what exactly had happened the previous night.
He was...saying something and Lucy got angry and threw a huge stone on his face. But there was no big rock to be seen anywhere. It wasn't a stone but a pillow he realized. Wait, it hit his face so hard he was sure it was a boulder. He scratched his head in confusion.
"I...don't know," he responded unsure of what exactly was happening. "Where is Lucy?" he asked.
Layla frowned. "She told me this morning to check out the garden and went somewhere with Levy..."
"Uh...I'm sorry Mrs Heartfilia. I really don't know how I reached here! Please don't think I'm crazy..." Loke apologized.
She shook her head. "It's okay Loke," she smiled. "Even my husband sleep-walks,"
Plan III (?)- Cant show face to anyone.
