"Did you hear? Lucy was getting hit on by some guy at the grocery store," Mira spoke secretively to Cana, "Levy saw her."

Cana raised an eyebrow intrigued, "oh, really, what happened after?"

Mira spoke over the rowdy guild, "he asked her out!"

A few heads turned curious to see what the white-haired barmaid was talking about.

"Damn! That girl is lucky, all I need is a man now," Cana jugged her 10th beer that morning.

Lucy walked in through the guild doors with Natsu by her side yelling about something, she was to be peeved by Natsu. It wouldn't be a surprise to anyone if he had made her a little upset; the fire mage had a bad habit of being oblivious to a few things that might make a girl blush. The two sat at the bar ignoring each other's presence.

"Mira can I have water please," Lucy sighed, the barmaid immediately got it for the blonde beauty.

"Anything for you, Natsu?" Mira asked.

Natsu grunted now staring at Lucy immensely, "what is it Natsu?" Lucy whispered, but almost yelling.

"Why are you wasting your time going on a date with that loser?" He questioned.

"Because Natsu that's what people do," she spoke to him like a child, "they go on dates," she stood up ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" Natsu asked.

She didn't answer, she walked out trying to stay calm, how could he be so stupid? Lucy thought. The pink-haired teen slouched on the table, where Gray and Erza had now joined him.

"What's got you in the slump, flame freak?" Gray asked.

"What's it to you, ice princess?" Natsu was now more pissed.

"Is it about Lucy's date today?" Erza stated.

Natsu shot up, "is it today?"

The scarlet haired woman nodded.

"What a surprise," Gray said with a sarcastic tone.

"Shut up, popsicle!" Natsu didn't know why he was so affected by Gray's comment, "!t's not about Lucy, besides why would anyone wanna go out with her…?" he faded out.

Gray and Erza gave each other a look then back at Natsu, "Because Lucy is beautiful," Gray spoke.

"She is a very attractive woman Natsu," Erza added.

"Gray-sama thinks Lucy is beautiful," a grieving Juvia cried out in the back.

"Well yeah, she is… I guess, but she's weird," Natsu tried to think about it.

"Weird how?" Erza asked.

Gray spoke, "she's pretty normal to me."

"Normal yeah, but weird," he tried to think, "like the way she blushes when I say I love her cooking or when she flicks her hair and that side ponytail, or how she puts so much effort in that annoying novel she never lets me read. How about how she always smells of vanilla and strawberries, which is annoying because I never want to stop smelling it or when Happy is upset she speaks so kind and soft towards him. And that smile of hers which is just too perfect, did I mention her cooking it's delicious. It makes me feel weird," Natsu finally finished.

The ice mage broke into laughter while Erza was fascinated by how oblivious he was to be in love with Lucy, "Natsu…" Erza spoke.

He looked up at her, "Hmm?"

"When you say Lucy make you feel weird, is it good or bad?"

Natsu tilted his head, "definitely not bad…"

Gray finally stopped laughing, deciding to joke with this for a bit, "what if I said I love Lucy how would that make you feel?"

Natsu stood up, slamming his fist into the table; to his surprise, he was angry, "it doesn't affect me," he sat back down.

"Well, then I might just tell her today," Gray stood up.

Natsu grabbed his arm, looking him dead in the eye, "don't you dare think about it snowman."

"Tsk, how can you be so blind?" Gray pulled his arm away, sitting back down.

"What? Is there something I should know?"

"Are you an idiot, sorry you are an idiot… you love Lucy dumbass!" The whole guild turned to see what Gray was talking about with Natsu.

"Of course I do, she's my best friend!" the guild sighed thinking he'd just need a little push.

"Not as a friend jackass, more than that."

Natsu couldn't comprehend what the others were trying to say, he ran out of the guild hoping to find Lucy at hers.

What are those people talking about? It's completely normal to love everything about your best friend and want to continually be with her, right? Do I find those things that Lucy does attractive? I mean she is stunning, especially when she tries to act all appealing, though it was never fun when she did it to other guys only to me. Like the way she pouted her lips or flashed those beautiful brown eyes.

Natsu smile unconsciously thinking of the blonde mage.

Natsu arrived at Lucy apartment climbing up to the window watching her as she sat on her bed contemplating whether or not she really wanted to go on this date, "Luce…" Natsu called out startling the poor girl.

"Natsu! You frightened me," she giggles at her friend looking back at her. No matter how angry I am at him, he somehow charms me, Lucy thought.

Natsu jumped into the room, "you can't go on this date."

"Not this again please," Lucy turned away.

"No this time it's different. I realize why I don't want you to go," Natsu grabbed her shoulders. They stood in the middle of the room, staring deep into each other's eyes, "fine, explain…" Lucy was blushing at the way he stared at her.

Natsu cringed trying to find a way to put it into words, "you know how you blush, and smell like vanilla and strawberries or how you whisper my name when you sleep," Lucy gasped at the last part.

"I figured it out, I feel weird every time you do those things, and it's because I like you no wait I love you. Even though you're really weird, and you make me feel weird like mini fires are rumbling around in my stomach," Natsu laughed a little, "isn't it strange?"

Lucy couldn't help but smile and blush till her face was the color of Erza's hair; Lucy quickly went on her tiptoes, kissing Natsu on the cheek.

"You call that a kiss?" Natsu placed his hands on Lucy cheeks' pulling her in for a kiss, their lips crashed creating sparks. Both of them knew that this passionate moment could never be forgotten, they pulled away gasping for air, "I love you, Lucy."

"I love you, Natsu," Lucy wrapped her arms around Natsu neck, kissing him again.
