Chapter 2
Natsu's POV
I was so close.
SO. FUCKING. CLOSE!
I could have told her right there and then, but I couldn't. My mind wanted to do it, but my mouth refused to.
As we came upon the guild's door we entered and everyone was staring at us. Gray looked at me and then Lucy with his arm around Juvia. "What, so you're a couple now?"
Lucy had choked on thin air, while my eyes went wide. "WHAT! NO! US?! NOT AT ALL! NOT EVER!" We both said in unison.
The guild was having a celebration of the two new couples. Everyone was congratulating Gray, Juvia, Gajeel, and Levi. Yay yay, whatever, spirit of love, happy times, kissing and babies and happiness.
And I was pissed as FUCK. I wished people were congratulating me and Lucy. I wish Lucy loved me like Juvia loved Gray, but not as much smothering. Although, when Juvia wasn't near Gray, she still spied on him like always.
Because I didn't tell Lucy right at that moment, she probably thinks that I wanted to tell Lisanna, but that's not true. That won't ever be true no matter what happens to Lucy. To love, and to hold. Till death do we part.
Lucy's POV
"Natsu probably wants to tell Lisanna how he feels." I was telling Mira.
"I know my sister likes him, but I have a feeling Natsu likes you," Mira said plainly then excited, "oh, you guys would be so perfect for each other!"
No, not this again. "Mira you did this last time. I don't think Natsu likes me. Besides, last time Natsu just wanted to see me because of some treasure thing and so he wanted me to summon Virgo."
"Hey, Lucy," I heard a familiar voice, "umm, could you meet me out by the big Solar Tree in Southgate Park tonight at 8:00?" Natsu said as I turned around.
My smile turned to a slight frown. OH SHIT! This again. "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't. I have to do something for Mira. Besides I can just summon Virgo now."
"Virgo? Umm, why would you need to summon Virgo?" Natsu said with a confused face.
"Well," I said as I was getting confused, "don't you need her to dig up that treasure?"
"Umm, no," Natsu said, "besides, I don't think I want to bother you about that again after you slapped me in the face," I started to smile, "which made my face hurt for a week!" We both laughed as Mira started to burst out gasping while looking at us.
"What's with your deal?" Natsu asked Mira.
"Oh, nothing." Mira said while smiling, darting her eyes back and forth from me and Natsu.
"Umm, ok," Natsu started to speak again after a while of looking at her eyes, "so, I'll see you at 8:00 tonight?"
"Yes, you have my word. I will be there." I said.
