Chapter 10

Felix and the members of Fairy Tail watched as the other guild engaged in a two vs. two battle segment, Lamia Scale vs. Mermaid Heel, and Blue Pegasus vs. Quatro Tramp. The crowd cheering and getting excited because the next battle was the one everybody has been waiting for. Pinning Fairy Tail vs. Sabertooth, Dragon Slayers against Dragon Slayers, the battle of the century. "Felix," Erza said. "Can you do us a favor and go check on those two."

"Sure thing," he replied heading to the staging area. Arriving he saw Gajeel waiting at the entrance to the field. About to pass the infirmary when suddenly the door opened and Natsu came out.

"What up Felix," Natsu said. "You coming to check on Lucy?"

"Not at first," he replied. "Erza wanted to make sure you and Gajeel were 'okay'."

Chuckling, Natsu said, "That's Erza for you, but I would like you to stay with Lucy and watch her. You cool with that?"

"Sure," he replied. Natsu nodded and began to walk, but Felix stopped him and said, "Good luck."

"Thanks," Natsu replied grinning as he started walking again.

Entering the infirmary Felix saw Lucy smiling and thought, Wonder what they talked about.

"Oh hey Felix," Lucy said. "They stuck you on babysitting duty?"

"Ain't babysitting if I like it," he replied. "You sure seem happy."

"Yeah," Lucy said. "I know Natsu is gonna win and we're gonna take back the number one spot."

"You sure believe in him a lot."

"I've always had, ever since I met him."

Felix gave a weak smile and thought, That's right…she knows him more than she does me…if there is any guy she should be with it's him.

"What's wrong," Lucy asked noticing Felix's weak smile.

"Huh? Nothing…just got lost in thought."

"Oh. Ok…Hey when we get back to the guild I can't wait to go out on jobs with you and my friends."

When we get back huh? I know I said I want to stay forever, but I'll only be lying to myself if I said seeing her with Natsu would be fine…the truth is I want her. Just her, but I can't say that. I'll look like a selfish jerk, Felix thought after hearing Lucy's words.

"You sure you're okay," Lucy asked seeing Felix with blank eyes. The room shook a bit. "What was that?"

"Probably Natsu giving them hell," he replied. I won't know for sure if I don't tell her how I feel right now. If I just leave the way things are now, I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life.

"That Natsu, he sure can b-"

"Hey, I have something to tell you," Felix said interrupting Lucy.

"Ok. Go ahead," she replied focusing on Felix. "I'm all ears."

"Don't get mad ok? But I'm sorta…"

"Sorta what?"

"I'm sorta in…in l-…in lo-.."

"Felix, just say it. I'm not gonna be mad," Lucy said smiling.

"I'm in love with you," Felix shouted. "Whoops… didn't mean to shout…s-sorry." Seeing Lucy just staring at him without any reaction, he began to get up and say, "I-I should just leave then."

"Stop," Lucy said.

"Huh?"

"Look Felix," Lucy said. "I'm flattered, but right now…I'm just not sure how I feel about a relationship, but I know that I'll be ready one day."

"What about you and Natsu?"

"Me and Natsu," Lucy shouted. "Ha, whoever gave you that idea was either really drunk or misunderstanding things."

"So you don't like him?"

"I'm not saying I don't. I'm saying is that I'm not planning on getting in one anytime soon. All I want now is to spend time with my friends and go on adventures. So," she says reaching her hand out. "Will you join me?"

I want to, but I…I…

"And don't use the whole, 'I'm a Free Lance Merc and I only joined the guild to fulfill a promise I made seven years ago to your dad'."

Shocked and dumbfounded by what Lucy just said, Felix replied, "Wait. What? How did you find out?"

"Well it was strange at first when you wanted to join our guild, but I just brushed it off thinking you were super touched by my story."

"To be honest I really didn't hear what you said."

Lucy made a angry face, but continued, "Anyway, I found out when we were at the resort."

"The resort?"

"Yep. After the girls and I recovered from our 'situation' we decided to take a bath. I forgot something in the room and went back to get it. Seeing you knocked out cold on the floor, I noticed a piece of paper hanging outside your blazer's pocket. So I went to check it out and that's how I found out."

I thought it was strange the paper was folded neatly in my pocket, Felix thought. "If you knew then why didn't you say anything."

"Why do you think I made you get drunk?"

"Are you saying you wanted me to spill the beans by getting me drunk," Felix asked as he saw Lucy giggling and smiling. "You know, behind that smile is a monster."

"Oh don't be like that," Lucy replied. "I was just happy that my dad was still looking out for me and touched that you were trying to keep your promise."

"To be honest, I really just said that to date you," Felix said. Lucy began to laugh, but stopped due to some minor pains. "Don't laugh too hard or you'll die."

Recovering from the little shock, Lucy replied, "I'll be fine." Reaching out her hand again, she continued, "So how about it Felix, my offer still stands."

You know what, I don't care if I don't date her, just being around her makes my day brighter, Felix thought. Grabbing Lucy's hand, he answered, "I'm in."

"Good," Lucy said with a big smile. "It's gonna be fun."

Letting go of her hand, Felix asked, "So does anybody else know?"

"No," Lucy replied. "We all keep secrets." Felix shook his head and they both laughed a little. Suddenly the whole room shook.

"What was that," Felix shouted.

"Don't know," Lucy replied. "That can't be good."

A few moments passed when Natsu burst through the door. "Natsu," Felix and Lucy said in surprise.

"Awww yeah," Natsu shouted.

Felix getting up from his chair and said, "You won?"

"Course I did," Natsu replied motioning Felix to high five him.

"Sweet," Felix said as he high fived Natsu, but apologized seeing Natsu reacted in pain. Gray and Erza entered. "Hey guys."

"What up," Gray replied. "You feeling okay Lucy?" She nodded as a response.

"Good to know," Erza added.

"Alright right," Natsu shouted throwing up the Fairy Tail hand sign. "We're taking that number one spot!" The other followed and cheered.

Later that night in a pub

Right now the Fairy Tail guild is celebrating on their comeback to first place in the Grand Magic Games. Everybody is drinking their hearts away, again. But in the corner we find Felix who is again trying to avoid alcoholic drinks. Observing the room Felix thought, Glad to see everybody is doing ok, especially Lucy. Felix saw Natsu and Gray about to fight and laughed. Those guys have so much energy.

"You ruined my cake," Erza shouted as she grabbed Natsu's and Gray's heads, slamming them together.

Felix eyes widened and thought, God damn woman, you did that over cake? Good luck Jellal.

"Hey Felix," Lucy said approaching him while hiding something behind her back.

"Oh no you don't," he replied backing away. "Get away from me with whatever you're holding."

"Come on," she insisted. "Just one." Felix then got up and ran. "Felix! Come back!"

"I'm not falling for your tricks," he said leaping over tables.

"Just one!"

"You know, for an injured person you sure are running fast!"

"Determination!"

"Somebody help," Felix shouted running to the door when it suddenly opened smacking him in the face.

"Oh, my bad," Gajeel said entering. Felix laid on the ground trying to recover from the unexpected hit. "Meh, you'll be fine."

"Gajeel," Natsu shouted. "Where were you! I had to take on Sting and Rogue alone! Some teammate you are!"

"You wanna say that one more time, Salamnder," Gajeel said clenching his fist. "Wait. No time for that. You and Wendy follow me."

"Why," Natsu replied.

"Just shut up and follow, it's really important."

Natsu and Wendy looked at each other and nodded. They followed him along with Gray and Lucy. Noticing Felix finally recovered, Lucy asked, "Hey Felix, wanna follow?"

Grabbing his head and replying, "If it means I'm not gonna be here then yeah I'll follow." Getting up he, Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, Happy and Carla followed Gajeel back to the Domus Flau.
