my answer is you
happy
Happy's had enough.
Honestly, he didn't realize it would be this bad. In fact, he was ecstatic when they finally realized their feelings for each other. Finally! It was obvious to everyone and their moms—the two were so frustrating to watch, dancing around each other like idiots. So Happy had been really, really, really, really happy for them.
That was a month ago.
Now, Happy is very unhappy. Because ever since they finally wised up, Natsu and Lucy have been spending all their time together—as if they didn't hang out enough in the first place! What's worse is that they're disgustingly mushy and hardly realize his presence anymore.
Well, he's tired of it! Tired of being invisible, tired of being treated like air, tired of watching his two best friends being stupidly cute when he still can't get Charle to accept a fish from him. Or even call him by his name.
He's done!
He's off to find new best friends, ones that will actually pay attention to him and his problems without him having to yell it into their ears. He doesn't need them. And when Natsu and Lucy come chasing after him, well! Too little, too late, he'll say, and slam the door in their desolate faces.
Because…they will come after him, won't they?
Lucy giggles. "Stop it, Natsu, that tickles!"
Natsu grins and nuzzles his nose into her neck even more, delighting in her squeals of laughter. Man, does he love her! It's always been there, he knows; he just never knew what it was, exactly, and if she felt it too. Bu apparently, she does.
Thank goodness because he doesn't think he could take it if she loved someone else. She's his Luce, his!
"You're mine," he says, leaning in to kiss her softly on the lips. He never understood the point of kissing before but it was great! But only with Lucy.
"Yours," she agrees, kissing him back. "And you're mine."
They smile at each other shyly before dissolving into blushes and burying their faces in each other's necks.
Stupid cute.
But something feels off. Natsu frowns and sniffs at the air. "Something's missing…hey, where's Happy?"
"Happy? Isn't he—?" Lucy turns and looks around, pouting when she realizes that the blue Exceed is nowhere to be found. "Actually, I don't think I've seen him all week. I wonder where he went?"
"Maybe he went to find fish," Natsu suggests, though he felt uneasy.
Lucy nods slowly. "Or maybe he went to visit Charle and Wendy."
"Yeah. Maybe."
They sit in silence for several minutes, basking in each other's warmth, before Lucy speaks up again.
"You know, we haven't been to the guild in a while. We should probably go let everyone know we're still alive. Maybe Happy will be there!"
Natsu immediately smiles. "Yeah, that's a good idea! Wow Luce, you're so smart."
She blushes. "Oh, stop, that was nothing."
There's a little fumbling and a lot more sappy staring and laughter until they finally make it out of Lucy's apartment and on their way to the guild.
"Look, It's Natsu and Lucy!"
"Finally! What have you two been up to all week, huh?"
"It's about time!"
Natsu and Lucy enter the guild to a lot of suggestive hollers and wolf whistles. Lucy blushes and tries to ignore all the teasing while Natsu simply grins obliviously through it all.
"Hey look, there's Happy!" Natsu points and eagerly tugs Lucy's hand.
Happy is sitting at the bar, all dropped over, moping while Mirajane tries to simultaneously comfort him and screech excitedly over Natsu and Lucy. When he finally notices all the noise around him, he looks up with watery wide eyes and lets out a wail at the sight of his two best friends.
"Natsuuuuuuuu! Lucyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I missed youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" he sobs, flying straight to Lucy and burying himself in her generous chest.
She laughs and pats him soothingly. "We missed you too! What have you been up to all week?"
"Yeah, bud, why didn't ya hang out with us?" Natsu asks.
"Y-y-you guys didn't e-even notice when I left!" Happy cries as a fresh round of tears spilled over and soaked Lucy's shirt, to her chagrin and every male's glee. "You were too b-busy staring at each oth-other!"
Natsu and Lucy exchange glances. "Sorry, bud. Guess we got too wrapped up in ourselves, huh? Shoulda set us right!"
"I-I thought you d-d-didn't want me anymore!" Happy whines, flying over to cry on Natsu's shoulder. Lucy grimaces as she tried to squeeze out the moisture in her shirt.
"Don't be silly, Happy. You're part of our team, no matter what," Lucy reassures him.
"Yeah, Happy! We're the ultimate team!"
"Yeah, right—ugh!" Everyone ignores Gray as Erza quickly elbows him in the gut.
"Don't worry." Lucy pats Happy gently on the head. "We just got a little carried away these past few weeks. Natsu and I were just getting used to all the new parts of our relationship. But it's not the same without you there. So don't just leave us without a word anymore, okay?"
Happy wipes away his tears and nods. "Okay. By the way, Lucy, did you get fatter? I think your boobs got bigger."
Natsu perks up. "Ooh really? Lemme see!"
"Lucy kick!"
