I decided not to keep it as a one shot... so here goes nothing! I hope you all enjoy! Sorry btw pretty sure the intro to this will be pretty bad. HAHAHAHA I MADE GAJEEL STUPID AND SWEET! I'm super cheesy and I cringed at myself for writing some parts. Hope you enjoy!
He got down on both knees and gave her the box. Levy was shocked and looked at him before she flipped open the box to see what was inside. She covered her mouth with her hand, as tears welled in her eyes for the fifteenth time today.
The ring sat on a little white cushion and was made out of iron. The ring had a knot and their initials engraved into the side, Gajeel stood up and grabbed her hand. He slipped it onto her right ring finger. "A promise knot ring. It means we haven't tied the not yet, but we have intentions to." He recited looking at her hand. He turned around and looked towards the sky. "You don't have to accept it. I understand if you hate me after what happened this morning, I had planned on confessing to you after graduation. When you confessed first I was kind of caught off guard." he admitted. He turned back around "I love you Levy."
He tried to walk forward but didn't notice his shoelaces. As soon as he stepped forward he tumbled, he was never clumsy. Yet the one time he was it was during a serious conversation. He felt like an idiot and face planted on the ground at his own stupidity. Levy started laughing to the point where her sides hurt. "I'm sorry Gajeel...pft..." she giggled trying to control herself. "Of course I'll accept it." she smiled before tackling him.
Lucy smiled at the blue haired girl next to her. Levy had been grinning all morning, she could only guess Gajeel had followed her advice. "Soooo Levy, did anything good happen?" the blonde asked already knowing the answer. "Something wonderful!" she sighed dreamily. Lucy knew if she asked anymore she wouldn't get an answer, just more dreamy sighs.
Lucy wanted to avoid Natsu until she had figured out her feelings. Yeah she knew she had a small crush on him, but did she love him? Ughhhh! Feeling were way to confusing. When the they arrived at Fairy Tail she realized she couldn't really avoid Natsu since they had morning set together. 'Dammit!' She thought to herself, there really wasn't a way to avoid him.
Out of nowhere Natsu appeared "Mornin' Luce!" He chirped slinging his arm around his shoulder. "AHHH!"The blonde screamed turning around punching the person who scared her. Realizing who it was she quickly apologized "Sorry Natsu! I thought you were some creeper!". "Remind me not to mess with you for while!" Natsu laughed touching his bruised cheek.
'Why do I like this damn idiot again?!' she thought to herself. Snapping out of her thoughts Lucy asked "You ready for today's segment?". Natsu grinned "Of course!" this is one of my favorites!"
Lucy and Natsu sat on their stools and Natsu announced their intro to the segment "Today's segment is Update Your Date. This is a segment where we get an email from a listener who went out on a date and never heard back from their date again. They tell us how the're date went and then we call their date to hear their side of the story. Then we ask them if they want to go on a second date fully paid for by us." "Hey you there Chris?" Lucy asked "Yeah, I'm here" Chris answered.
"So what happened on your date?" Lucy asked "Well... I took out this girl named Janette I thought we had a pretty great time, but now she's not calling me back. We went to a restaurant, afterward we went the park for a walk, we went to a bar, then I took her home. I thought it went pretty great I don't know what happened!" Chris exclaimed
"You can't think of anything that went wrong on your date?" Natsu questioned "Well the food wasn't that great , the weather was kind of crappy, the restaurant was somewhat noisy, and I think I got kind of drunk when we went to the bar" He responded. 'That sound like a lot of things went wrong' Natsu and Lucy thought to themselves. "Okay let's call her and see what happened! Chris you come in when we Que you" Lucy announced.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
"Hello?" a voice asked. "Hi is this Janette?" Natsu asked
"This is she" Janette answered. "Great! This is Fairy Tail we're a radio station. You recently went out on a date with a guy named Chris right?" Natsu asked. "Yeah I remember him". "Oh Good! He was wondering why you haven't been calling him back." Natsu continued "He thought the date went pretty well". "Did he even tell you what happened on the date?" Janette questioned
"First he took me to a small cafe then he kept complaining about the food the whole time. After he started complaining about the noise really loudly! It drizzled very lightly and he complained that the weather was terrible and he almost complained for half an hour! After that the date still wasn't over! He decided to take me to a bar, where he proceeded to get drunk. After he got drunk he went on and on about his ex who he had been with for six years or something then he kept calling me Manami. I had to pay for the drinks then drive him home, because he was so drunk. It really was one of the worst dates I have ever been on!" Janette complained.
"Maybe he isn't that bad if he kept a relationship for six years? I mean maybe he has some good points?"Lucy pointed out seeing if she could change Janette's mind. "He may be good looking, but it's a waste of time. I honestly don't want to talk to him again" Janette huffed. "Funny you should say that" Natsu interrupted "Chris you there?" Natsu asked. "Hey Janette..." Chris trailed off. For the next 10 minutes they argued about their date until finally reached it's conclusion. "I think we already know your answer Janette, but we are still supposed to ask. Do you want to go on a second date with Chris? We will pay for it." Natsu asked. "Of course I will have to decline your offer" Janette scoffed.
"That one was kind of short" Lucy spoke taking off her headphones. "Yeah, the segments have been kind of short lately" Natsu agreed, the both of them walking out of the studio; down to the lobby. Lucy was hoping to walk home with Erza, Wendy, Levy, basically anyone who wasn't Natsu. She wanted to talk to them about how she was feeling about a certain someone, but no such luck.
Wendy and Erza had already went back to their dorms, while Levy had already left with Gajeel. It seemed that Lucy had no excuse to not walk with Natsu. She sighed, how long was she going to act like this?
"Hey, I'll walk you home I-" Natsu began, "What're you doing tomorrow?" Lucy interrupted. She looked a Natsu and stared directly into his eyes. Natsu suddenly flushed, was she going to ask him out? "Y-yeah why?" he asked. "Oh, I was wondering if you wanted to come hang out with everybody at my place and watch movies" she replied
Natsu suddenly felt disappointed, but why? He loved hanging out with his friends, why was he disappointed? What was going on with him lately? Then Lucy interrupted his thoughts "Unless...there's something else you want to do?" Natsu looked at her. "Well tomorrow is the Harvest Festival. Did you forget?" Natsu smirked.
Lucy flushed, she totally forgot about Magnolia's annual Harvest Festival! Fairy tail always helps set-up and does a broadcast from there. "Y-you know after the broadcast why don't we walk around together..."the pink haired teenager suggested slightly flushed. He was never embarrassed by this kind of stuff, but as of late he seemed to have been getting embarrassed easily. "Okay!" Lucy agreed with a bright smile, her smile seemed to clam him down and he smiled back.
Natsu dropped Lucy off at her apartment, walking to his own house lost in his thoughts. When he said he like Lucy, I mean of course he would like his best friend! Anyone would, but did he like her that way? When he first met Lucy he just thought she was like any other girl, but she was special and he couldn't figure out why she was so damn special to him. His brain started hurting again, he never thought this much.
Lucy settled into her chair getting ready to start recording. "Yo Star here with another with a new segment of 'Personal, But Not Too Personal'. This is where you guys get to ask a question about me, but it can't be too personal; or else I won't answer." the blonde teen explained.
"This first question comes from haruka275_han 'What is your hairstyle?' My hair style? Umm... its medium length and its usually up. That's all I will tell you" she finished. "This next one is from MAW43_su 'how old are you?' I have had this question many times and I've never answered it, because I consider this personal;but I will tell you the next best thing. I won't say the exact age I am, but I am in my teens and I have not gone to college yet" she answered. "this one comes from windwarrior9_2 'Will you ever do a face reveal?' Hmm... I also get this one pretty often...Other stations such as Fairy Tail or Blue Pegasus actually have a meet and greet, but I like to stay confidential. I would rather not have others stations thinking of me as a threat, but it already happens, so what can you do? I might do a face reveal in the future though, so stay tuned in case it ever happens"Lucy replied.
"Okay what's next... okay! This one comes from fire_lizard777... Oh!" Lucy exclaimed 'I read this guy's comment the other day!' she thought to herself. "My favorite station hmm... Well most people would say the one that they work for, if they worked at one. I would say my favorite is Fairy Tail! I've been to their Meet and Greets before and the people there are very kind. They aren't cocky and their station has great segments and music! I don't think the Rogue Star station comes close to being as amazing as Fairy Tail!" Lucy smiled warmly.
"Okay now I have one last question... this comes from chloeguru3000 'ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH ANYBODY?!' OKAY THIS ONE IS TOO PERSONAL! UH T-THAT'S IT FOR TODAY! Lucy finished nervously. She quickly changed to her new playlist and flopped on her bed. Why did everybody seem to ask her that question lately? She knew her face was red, but she didn't care. Tomorrow was the Harvest Festival, so she set her alarm to wake up early.
Natsu on the other hand didn't really worry about the time. He was still listening to the radio, Rogue star had answered his question. That alone was pretty cool, but the fact that Fairy Tail was her favorite station was even cooler. He didn't see why everyone at the station thought she was so bad. He was so lost in thought that he forgot about the other people living in the house. Gajeel slammed open the door "TURN OFF THE DAMN RADIO! PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!" Natsu was so startled he didn't say anything.
Normally he would have started a fight, but Gajeel already left too tired to deal with Natsu. Natsu finally turned off the radio and went to sleep, Happy curled up by his side. Lucy went to sleep with Plue in his own little bed.
The next morning as soon as Lucy opened the door someone was already there. If anyone was at her door, actually scratch that he would probably already be in her house raiding her fridge. Instead of Natsu it was Wendy. "Good morning Lucy-san!" Wendy beamed "Oh! Good morning Wendy! Let me grab my bag and we can get going" Lucy told her, going back into her apartment for a minute. "Wendy did you walk here from the dorms?" Lucy asked
"No, Gajeel-san came by and dropped me off" the blue haired girl replied. "I was listening to the Rouge Star last night, Rogue Star seems so cool!" Wendy beamed. Lucy laughed "Well, Rogue Star is also our competition" Lucy reminded a little bit nervous. "Lucy-san~ don't tell me you're like the everybody else!" Wendy pouted, "Well, I guess she isn't bad" Lucy quickly responded. "If you listened to it Lucy-san you would know that her favorite radio station is Fairy Tail." Wendy added. Lucy wished everybody at Fairy Tail could be more accepting of Rogue Star like Wendy and Natsu, then she wouldn't have to keep it a secret.
"Wendy what would you do if Rouge Star was one of your friends?" Lucy asked nervous for the answer "I guess... I would feel kind of hurt. I mean if we're friends shouldn't we trust each other? Friendship is built on trust after all." Wendy replied. Lucy felt guilty, but she wasn't sure if she should tell Wendy.
Soon they arrived at the town square. Fairy Tail was already there setting up, Wendy and Lucy were about to start helping too when they heard yelling from behind "YOU BASTARD WHY'D YOU LEAVE ME BEHIND!" The two turned around to see a furious pink haired teen sprinting at top speed towards Gajeel. Gajeel looked like he was going to fight back, but Erza stepped in to intercept Natsu. Natsu stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw Erza.
'Gajeel had left without me, that bastard!' Natsu thought. He had to sprint so he wouldn't be late to set up for the Harvest Festival. When he finally got there he was about to attack that stupid Metal Head when Erza blocked his way. Natsu knew today probably wasn't the best day to die, so he stood down. He turned to see Lucy and Wendy setting up equipment behind Erza.
Lucy was wearing her crepe pink sweater, a black mini skirt and tights, brown combat boots, and a gray scarf. She also wore her signature heart earrings and her bright red glasses. Natsu sometimes forgot she wore glasses, she looked so cute Natsu couldn't help but turn a little red. Lucy looked at Natsu he had rushed here so his hair had been messed up a little bit. His were bangs down, Lucy thought to herself 'He actually is pretty attractive like that too...WAIT WHAT AM I SAYING?! BAD LUCY! BAD!'
The others had gone off to set up and it was just Lucy and Natsu, Lucy needed to calm herself down, 'Just act casual Lucy' she thought to herself. "Natsu, we're doing a meet and greet today! You could've at least looked somewhat presentable!" she scolded. She put her hand on his head and ruffled it a bit. Natsu looked straight into her eyes his cheeks tinted a light shade of red. Lucy looked straight back into his eyes her hands still in his hair. Natsu's eyes were lidded as he stared at her inching closer to her face. Lucy's face became completely red, but she couldn't look away from him. She was completely frozen, her hands still not moving from his hair.
Lucy had to mentally slap herself. What was wrong with her? She wouldn't let her feelings ruin her friendship or her career as a radio host. Lucy had liked Natsu for a while and maybe she was beginning to fall in love, but love was one of the things she didn't have time for. She put her hands back at her side. "We should probably go help set up" she smiled and turned away, Natsu grabbed her wrist. "Wait Lucy I-" Natsu began, but was soon interrupted by Gray yelling "HEY LUCY! MIRA-CHAN NEEDS YOUR HELP AT THE TABLE"
Natsu released Lucy's wrist "Hey get going you don't want Mira too unleash Satan" Natsu joked. Lucy gave him a warm smile and ran over to Mira. Natsu had the sudden urge to punch himself and Gray. Gray put a hand on Natsu's shoulder "Sorry pal, did I ruin your confession?" Gray teased. "Yes! What? I mean- NO! I uh- I don't know anymore..." Natsu sighed defeated.
Lucy's heart was still racing, she didn't expect Natsu to grab her wrist suddenly like that. She thought maybe Natsu liked her too? She quickly wrote it off, Natsu was too dense and she was pretty sure love was one of the last things on his mind. They're in their third year, next year Natsu and the rest of the gang are going to be at Magnolia University and continue as broadcasters for Fairy Tail. Except Lucy, she was going to study abroad in America, but she hadn't told any of her friends yet; it was something Lucy and her father had planned before she even came to Magnolia. She wasn't even sure what would happen to her career as a radio host at Fairy Tail or her own station.
"Lucy? Are you okay? You look kind of lost in thought" Mira remarked. Lucy shook her head "I'm fine, don't worry!" she promised smiling brightly. "So what did you need help with?" Lucy asked changing the subject. "Well, I didn't really need help... I just wanted to let you know that since we have so many popular hosts the shifts are a lot shorter this year. Which means you can actually look around the Harvest Festival" the silver haired girl beamed. Lucy had only moved to Magnolia about a year and a half ago so she had been to the Harvest Festival before, but she had never actually got to take a look around.
