Finally, Chapter 2 is up! Also, I'e noticed that I wrote chapter in the wrong tense so I'll sort that out as soon as I can.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.


Chapter 2: Sorcerer's Weekly

Lucy couldn't believe what her eyes are seeing. Erza and Jellal are kissing! Kissing! Right in the middle of the guild where everyone could see them. She never thought that Erza would have the audacity to do that, especially since she's really shy and withdrawn when her emotions and feeling comes into the equation, most definitely when Jellal is added in. Everyone else is shocked as well, never have their precious titania display her own feelings of love.

Of course, everyone knew even back then that there was tension between Erza and Jella but never in their lives have they even thought about the tension being romantic and sexual. Most just thought that the tension was caused by the events that happened in the Tower of Heaven. They obviously thought wrong.

Once they got over their shock, wolf whistles erupt and the teasing started.

"When are you getting married?"

"Get a room!"

"Our Erza's finally a woman!"

Makarov stood there and smirked at the couple's discomfort.

"Everyone, give the lovebirds some space!" he shouted at them which cause the two to blush even more.

"So Erza, when's the wedding? Ahh… I can already see little Erzas and Jellals running around the guild" asked Mira who was still inwardly fangirling.

"Oi..oi Mira, what a..are y..y..ou s..saying?" Erza stuttered out. The mighty titania never stutters, so it was the perfect opportunity for everyone to take advantage of her embarrassment.

"Who would have thought that Erza could blush and stutter?" teased Macao.

"Erza's still a girl after all" said Makarov as joined in the teasing.

"Party for the new couple!" Cana shouted whilst drinking her barrel of booze. Everyone, unsurprisingly agreed to it and to the couple's relief their attention diverted from them as they went on their usual habits.

Elfman was shouting random things about being manly.

Natsu and Gray were fighting… again.

Cana was drinking her barrel of booze still.

And overall, life was great for Fairy Tail.


Lucy then remembered that she still needed to go on a job as she needed to pay for her rent for this month.

As she was walking towards the request board, Mira noticed her and said "Sorry Lucy, Master ordered that no one is allowed to go on missions until he gives word of permission."

"Huh? But why?" Lucy asked confused. Their conversation also caught the attention of everyone and immediately murmurs and whispers filled the guild.

"He didn't state why, but Jason is coming to the guild tomorrow so make sure you look your best." Mira informed her..

"How am I supposed to pay for my rent then?" Lucy moaned out.

"Don't worry, the guild will cover it for you until you can go on missions again" said Mira with a smile.

"Oh, thank you very much!" Lucy said happily, her previously angsty mood replaced with happiness once the thought of her rent left her mind.


THE NEXT DAY

'Something suspicious is going on here' thought Lucy. 'The guild seems to be weird'.

Then Lucy remembered, 'oh right, Jason is coming'

"Oi Luce! What are you doing just standing there" said Natsu as he came up to her and put his arms around her. Lucy blushed from the contact and quickly removed his arms and said "NOTHING!", well shouted actually.

"You know what Lucy…" Natsu said seriously, looking intently at her causing the poor girl to blush even harder, "…you're weird." That took away the blush from Lucy's face and she Lucy-kicked him in the face.

"LUCY!" he whined as he rubbed his abused cheek, "That hurts you know". She just hmphed at him and started walking towards her usual seat at the counter. Then…

"COOOOOOOOOL" said Jason as he appeared and randomly started taking pictures around the guild.

Lucy sighed and decided that she won't bother with him this time since he'll just ignore her anyway. 'I'm not cool like the other members of the guild'.

Lucy was then surprised as Jason took pictures of her and interviewed her.

"COOOOOL! It's Lucy, the celestial spirit mage." Lucy smiled and started posing, showing her 'best' sides, although she was still surprised. "Lucy could you summon one of you spirits for us?" he asked.

'Hmm… who should I chose? I know.'

"Gate of the maiden, I summon thee Virgo!" She shouted.

"Is it punishment time, princess?" was her usual respond to Lucy's summoning.

"NO!" was the immediate reply.

FLASH

"COOOL, this is one of the spirits of Lucy Heartphilia" gushed out Jason as he took more pictures.

FLASH

"Oi Luce!" shouted Natsu, as he came running towards me as usual, and again as usual he put his arms around her shoulders. Lucy involuntarily blushed… again.

FLASH

FLASH

She forgot that Jason was there and he took advantage of the moment and took pictures of them. 'This is embarrassing… We look like a couple' was her thoughts.

"COOOOOL! It's Natsu, the salamander. Fairy Tail's fire dragon slayer." Jason gushed once more and took more pictures of him. Lucy couldn't help but notice an almost evil glint in his eyes as he walked around the guild taking pictures of everything and everyone. She shrugged it off as nothing and walked over to the counter, as he was already fawning over others…

'This is going to be a long day' were her thoughts.

Lucy watched as Jason took pictures of Crime Sorciere. They smiled at him for a bit then proceeded to ignore him as he quickly got annoying. Jellal was staring at Erza and he walked towards her and put his arms around her waist. Erza blushed. Erza started ditching his armour whenever she's not on a mission and she usually wore casual clothes now.

Jason interviewed the blushing titania for bit and Jellal stayed beside her the whole time.

Afterwards, Jason approached Levy and Gajeel. Lucy honestly believed at the fact that there was something going on between them but since Gajeel never paid that much attention to anyone else other than his cat, Pantherlily who was currently sat contently on his shoulder and his best friend, Juvia.

Lucy's eyes were starting to hurt because of the flashes so she didn't pay much attention to Jason anymore.

FLASH

FLASH

Of course, Lucy couldn't resist the temptation of checking out who's being interviewed and saw that it was Gray and Juvia who were, strangely enough, having a small conversation between them but something seems fishy.

"Lushyy~" Happy called out to Lucy looking holding a fish with a ribbon tied around it and looking downright depressed. "Why won't Charle accept my fish, everyone loves fish" he whined but Lucy ignored him having heard and seen the same scenario numerous times already. She was so bored already and her head was starting to hurt due to the constant flasing.

FLASH

Now, it was Wendy who Jason's obsessing about.

Lucy sighed. 'A long day indeed.'


It was sunset by the time Jason decided to leave the guild still shouting out cool. Once again, Lucy noticed that evil glint in his eyes that was currently being mirrored by Mirajane, but she just shrugged it off again and headed towards her home.

When she arrived, as expected Natsu and Happy were already making themselves feel at home but she was so tired that she didn't even acknowledge their presence and went over to her bed and slept soundly.

In the morning, Lucy woke up to the feeling of someone's arms around her waist and saw Natsu cuddling her and their faces were only a few centimetres apart. The blonde blushed hard and moved away from him, waking the dragon slayer up in the process.

"Moring Luce" he whispered, and Lucy did what she had to do. She Lucy-kicked him out of her house.


Inside the guild, everyone was looking at the new issue of Sorcerer's Weekly but some were blushing profusely. Mirajane handed a copy to Lucy and she blushed scarlet red. The headlines read Fairy Tail Couples with a picture of Natsu with his arms around Lucy as the front cover image.

As she scanned the magazine in her hands, she saw more images of them together with a NaLu label on each one of them. There were also images of Erza and Jellal; JeRza, Gray and Juvia; GruVia, and Gajeel and Levy; GaLe. There were also some profile and data on each guild member on the last few pages.

The couple pairings continued to blush beet red and the others enjoyed their time by mercilessly teasing them. They were all busy having fun that they didn't notice the guild doors opening and a huge wave of people from different guilds entering.

CHAPTER END


I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to update but I was too broken hearted by the turn of events that happened in the latest chapters in the manga.

But I managed to complete this chapter so I hope you enjoyed that. :)

Reviews are always appreciated.
