I just had to post this because I cried.

I really wannna thank you so much, Shoyukine, for giving this wonderful review. I've shown this story to my friends, but even they think it's just simple and doesn't classify for a love story. Seeing this review made my day so much even though this was just a one-shot. Thank you so much :)

Now, because I'm so happy, I'll leave a little bonus for this lovely review :) Enjoy

*four months before the original story*

"Have you ever been in love?"

"Are commercials really getting this far?" I sighed and shook my head at scene rolling in the TV, stretching my legs which were sitting on my cousin's lap. We were on the couch, bored. Summer's not getting any fun like the TV said I'd get, now yippee, they're sending out love advice too. "Can the lies get any bigger?"

"What's got you down in the dumps?" Sting asked, holding a feather and reaching for my feet. I kicked him in the shin, and he stopped with a pained 'oof'.

"What do you mean?"

"You've been grumpy and having stinky feet all morning," I tried to kick him again, but he held my legs down. "Somethin' up? Lucy?"

"No, nothing's up. Our ceiling retired two months ago," I mumbled, laying down on my belly and burying my face in the armrest. "Fim fifne."

"Mhmm, sure you are. Look, you've been like this since you woke up, and now you only just vent it out over a dating website commercial about love. Hmmm…" I could see him tapping his chin, "Let me guess, boy problems?"

"Whaf fhe helf Stif."

"Oh come on Lucyyy~!" He poked my back in a teasing manner, "Don't tell me you've never been in love before?"

Right then, I was glad my face was buried into the armrest so that he didn't have to see my red face.

How stiff I got gave it away though.

"So you did!" I whipped my head around to scowl at him, despite being beet red. I swatted at him, annoyed but he dodged my attack. "Intriguing! I wonder who the unlucky guy is…"

I growled. "Won't you just shut u—?!"

My heard jerked up at the sound of the door bell ringing. Sting wiggled his eyebrows at me tauntingly, as if to say 'you can't kill me, because now I have a witness'.

I merely stuck my tongue out at him and rolled off the couch, lazily standing up before finally running down the other hall that led to the front door.

As I opened the door, I asked, "Who is i—?"

…oh…what. The.

"Lucy!" He said in surprise, "Oh um hi."

I was too busy looking under his pizza branded hat to respond.

I remember that pink hair anywhere.

"…Natsu?"

"That's me." He looked above me to examine my house, whistling as if he just acknowledged it now even though he walked all the way through the front yard. "So this is where you live."

"Huh? Oh uh, yeah." I nodded, feeling the awkward atmosphere start to sink in. I quickly took a look at the box in his hands and pointed, "Pizza I ordered?"

"Ah, yeah. Almost forgot about this," He says as he handed me the box and I handed him the payment. I blinked, so that was why the voice on the phone earlier sounded so familiar.

Wait…

"Holy shi—" I covered my mouth before I could finish my swear.

He was the guy on the phone who I mindlessly babbled to?!

"So I guess I'll be going now."

"Y-Yeah…"

I was about to go inside so I could properly punch myself in the face.

But before I could, he stopped me, "Wait Lucy!"

"Hm?"

"You look nice today."

Then he grinned. I held in my blush and gulped, chuckling nervously, "Ahaha, you too Natsu…actually no, you don't look good, you look funny, especially in that uniform."

"Yeah well, it goes with the job." He smiled sheepishly.

We stared at each other for a few seconds.

And for some reason, we suddenly lost it and laughed at each other.

"You look ten times more like a geek in those pajamas!" He exclaimed, laughing his ass off as I took a quick glance at my Fairy Tail printed PJs.

"Oh yeah?! Says the guy wearing a hawaiian shirt with pink flower prints!" I giggled like a maniac to the point where I had to hold my stomach.

"Hey, like I said, they went with the uniform!" Natsu tried to sound mad, but instead laughed harder.

We stayed like that for a few moments until I finally lost all the breath my lungs have stored, Natsu must have too, cause he was greedily sucking air by the time we finished.

When we finally both got enough oxygen to the point of panting, he let out one last chuckle, "Alright, bye Heartfilia, for real. Those pizzas aren't gonna deliver themselves,"

"Ah, I guess so," I nodded, smiling. He smiled back and bowed-making me laugh histerically again-and made his way back to his motorcycle. Just as I thought he was about to leave, he suddenly yelled, "By the way, your pizza is probably the best one I've made in years!"

Then he left.

I cracked open the door a little to see if Sting was still on the couch. Across the hall, I saw him snoring on the armrest.

I snorted and closed the door again, then I sat down on the little steps to my doorway.

Opening the box, I giggled until tears went out my eyes after seeing the contents.

So, he actually made it after all.

*RIING* *RIING*

"Pizza delivery may I take your order?"

"Oh it picked up! Oh um yes you may but just give me a couple seconds to find my list…"

"Um ma'am—?"

"LIST! L-I-S-T! Don't you know what a list is? You know, where you put words on top of the other on a piece of paper? Anyway just wait I'm still tryn'a find it!"

"Uh…okay…"

"FOUND IT! Ok um, let me see where should I start—oh here! I'd like a pizza with mushroom toppings—wait no—MARSHMALLOW toppings with pepperoni and pineapples, oh and hot sauce would be nice too if you could please set some on the side—OH WAIT please add garlic bread crumbs and put more cheese than sauce! If you might please as well make half the pizza with crusts and the other with thinner ones because that's what my stupid cousin and I agreed on and—oh no wait that's all."

"…"

"…hello?"

"Oh, um, yeah. Ok Ma'am we'll have your order ready in an hour—!"

"THAT'S OKAY, PLEASE DO, GOTTA GO NOW BYEEEEE!"

*click*

*beeeeeeeep*

"This is really touching. I mean, simple, but honestly touching. It just reached out to me, since honestly this is one of the very rare concepts that I love reading. An acquaintance crush is, as what I have understood, is the most complicated type of falling in love in my opinion. Acquaintances meant that you two know each other, but have never really gone to the type of closeness as friends, meaning even if you had the chance to woo him, it's incredibly small. Honestly, that seems even harder than not having him know you at all.

"I applaud to you my friend, for being able to move forward. *claps slowly* Even though this was a one-shot and seems too simple to be considered fluff, it contains the inevitable truth that I can't help but swoon. Little moments like this can really help, and you don't need cliche development, like being dared to kiss each other, to help you advance in a relationship. I just...I just love this one-shot too much I cry.

"I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE IT! Keep it up! :)"

:'D
