Hey. ;)

MY INTERNET IS KILLIN' ME! xD I have tried to get this chapter up in a while, but my internet had other plans, but anyway - here it is, and hope you'll like. :)

Chapter 6.

"Miss Lucy?" Supetto asked carefully. Lucy turned her head in surprise and wiped the tear from her cheek. She sat outside in the big garden. She wore one of her old dresses, and her hair hung loose.

"What's wrong dear?" Supetto asked almost scared. She hurried to kneel beside Lucy and pulled a white handkerchief up, even though Lucy had already wiped the tears away.

"It's just … nerves, I guess," Lucy lied and tried to smile. She couldn't tell Supetto that she missed her Guild, hated the idea of a ´fake wedding´ and had confusing feelings to Mako.

Supetto didn't discover the lie, and just made a gentle smile.

"That's normal, dearest," she just said and patted her cheek, "but you have no reason to be sad. You must love him if you agreed to the idea, right?" she said and made a little smile. Lucy didn't answer.

"Lucy!" her fathers voice suddenly sounded from the mansion. He stood in the door and gave her a serious stare. Both her and Supetto hurried to their feet.

"Master Makoto!" one of the waitresses cried out and smiled, "Which colour do you prefer for the napkins at the wedding?" she asked and showed him a paper with hundreds of pink colours. They all looked the same to him.

"Um …" he mumbled and looked at the paper, "M – maybe that one," he pointed at one of them and she hurried to nod.

"Excellent choice!" she said before she turned around and disappeared into the kitchen.

"Master Makoto!" Another voice yelled and he saw a slim girl hold two bows up in his face, "Witch one do you prefer?" she asked. He raised an eyebrow. They were completely identical.

"What are they for?" He asked.

"Hanging over the doors, of course," she said matter-of-factly.

"R – right," he said and had to close his eyes for a second, "that one," he said and pointed at one of them. He really didn't care. He hurried to walk past her, but a new person just blocked his way out.

"Do you prefer breadsticks or normal bread at the wedding?" The cook asked him and looked impatient. Mako sighed loudly.

"I don't care …" He said and waved rejecting, but suddenly a little boy stood by his side and held to pieces of fabric up – both black.

"I should ask from my master, witch colour you would like for your suit." The boy said and held the two black pieces up in his face.

"There's no difference!" Mako said exhausted.

"Master Makoto!"

"What about the bread?"

"Choose a colour!"

"Appetizer!"

"Master Makoto!"

"Make a choice!"

"Master!"

"SHUT UP!" Mako yelled and turned around and looked right into a pair of confused eyes. Everyone went quiet. Lucy shook her head of him, behind her Supetto stood with an surprised expression. He looked right into Lucy's calm eyes.

"Are you stressed Mako?" she said teasing and waved the staff away with a smile, but most of them kept standing, "you have worked since dawn – maybe you should take a break."

Mako took a deep breath and rushed past her, without a word. She didn't even move when he pasted her. All the employees stared at them. Their mouths wide open. Everyone flicked when the door slammed behind Mako.

Then everyone turned their attention to Lucy. Waiting for her reaction, but she just made a little smile.

"E – everyone, back to work," she said and tried to keep her smile on place. They hesitated, but then a silent mumbled spread, and soon people were working again.

"Miss," Supetto said and laid a hand on her arm, "I have work to do too, but …"

"Just go, I'll be fine – it's just a misunderstanding," Lucy mumbled and gave the old woman a tired smile. She hesitated, but then got back to work.

Lucy looked toward the door. Why was he like that? It was him who had tried to kiss her – he should be the one to apologize. He was completely unfair. She felt the anger build up. She was going to tell him. She clenched her fist and walked determined toward the door.

"Ma –" she began, but got surprised when he stood right outside the door. His hand was stretched toward the door, but when Lucy came out he yanked it back, like he had burned it. Her anger was replaced by surprise.

They stood for an awkward second and just stared at each other. Then Lucy remembered what she was here for and took the word.

"Wh – what was that in there?" She said and pointed at the door, "We're suppose to be in lo-"

"But we're not!" Mako interrupted her. His eyes shone with something Lucy couldn't put a finger on. He looked at her, to see her reaction, but she just turned her eyes to the floor.

"It was your plan," she mumbled and didn't know were to put her hands. Mako opened his mouth to say something, but hurried to close it and sighed. His hand ran trough his hair and Lucy found herself staring at the movement, but hurried to take her eyes away when he turned his head toward her again.

"I thought I could do it, but I can't," he said and a hint of pain showed in his eyes, "you must understand …" He took her gaze, "I love Alica – so much."

Lucy got surprised when she found his words painful. She held his gaze for a second, and then she lowered it again and closed her eyes for a second.

"Fine," she mumbled, "Then … we should tell everyone – that the wedding is cancelled."

She wanted Mako to hesitate, to take her hands and tell her that he couldn't, but there was no doubt in Mako's voice when he agreed.

He turned his back to Lucy and started to walk away again.

"WAIT!" the high sound surprised both Lucy and Mako. Lucy had grabbed his sleeve and her eyes were filled with confusion and pain.

"W – what is it?" Mako said and turned his head.

"You can't tell anyone," Lucy said and got surprised by the strength in her voice. Mako raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Because that's against the conditions," Lucy said, "this was your idea – and you can't just back out now. You must take responsibility for your choices. You agreed that you wouldn't tell anyone, and you can't break your promise, now. My dad will hurt my friends again," She raised her head. Her eyes had gotten strong and sure. Mako held her gaze for a second, and then he pulled his sleeve back.

"I'm sorry," he said and lowered his head, "but I can't …"

"Why?" she asked, her temper was growing again. He was so selfish.

Mako sighed, grabbed her hand and yanked her with him. She made a gasp in surprise.

"Mako? Hey," she said flustered and tried to keep up with his long steps.

"There's the mansion." Natsu cried out and pointed at it, while he began to walk faster. He had recovered from the trip and now leaded the group.

Gray and Alica speeded up too. Gray glanced toward Alica from the corner of his eye. He couldn't figure out if she had told the truth on the train – she had told him; that she was a poor girl, that loved the Duke's son Makoto – and he, was apparently marring Lucy?

The big question was; why had Lucy agreed? He knew that the answer was very simple, but he didn't really want to think about it; that she really loved him. But still, Lucy wasn't the ´love-in-first-sight´- type. Defiantly not ... Right?

"Gray," A voice sounded and he was pulled out of his thoughts.

"Yeah … what is it, Alica?" he asked and realized they both had stopped.

"Look," Alica whispered with a shaking voice and pointed. He followed the direction of her finger and flicked in surprise when he saw what it was; A tall boy with an expressionless face, dragged a blonde girl behind him, and he knew that girl.

"Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed and was about to wave, but suddenly he felt two pair of hands cover his mouth. He made an annoyed groan, when Gray and Alica forced him into a nearby bush.

They sat in the bush for a while (without moving their hands from Natsu's mouth), and listened.

"What is it?" They heard a boyish voice ask. That was probably Makoto. Gray could feel Alica stiffen beside him.

"I just thought I heard someone," Lucy answered. Gray and Alica moved their hands from Natsu's mouth, when the footsteps got weaker.

"What the hell?" Natsu asked annoyed, "Shouldn't we bring her home?"

"Idiot!" Gray snapped, "We should follow them."

"Yeah. Something's wrong – I have never seen Mako that tense," Alica said worried.

"This is stupid," the fire mage said and crossed his arms, "Let's just grab Lucy and get out of her."

Gray shook his head and looked at Alica, but she actually nodded.

"Actually I like that plan," she mumbled, "you can just take your friend and get away - and I can have Mako"

"Great, we have a plan, let's go," Natsu said and jumped out of the bush, "Lucy! Lucy!" He called.

"Hey, Natsu!" Gray yelled, but he had already started running, "Idiot, he ran the wrong way." He mumbled and hurried to follow, and Alica did the same.

"How long are you going to drag me?" Lucy said annoyed and yanked her hand back. Mako stopped. They stood in the middle of a grass field. Mako looked around and made sure no one was looking.

"This is fine," he said and took her gaze. She waited for him to talk, but he just stared at her, again.

"So?" she said and tried to make him speak, but he just sat down on the soft grass.

"Look," he said and pointed at the horizon. Lucy sighed and looked; the sun was setting and made red, orange and yellow colours mix on the blue sky. It was definitely beautiful, but she was more interested in knowing why he had made her come.

"Mako, why am I here?" she asked.

"Don't you like sunsets?" he asked innocent.

"I do, but that's not the reason I'm here, right?" she asked and sat beside him, but made sure to keep a distance. She watched the last sunlight play in his green eyes, while he thought about it.

"Why do you want to continue with the ´fake wedding´?" he asked quietly and held his eyes on the sunset.

"Mako, please stop playing games," Lucy begged.

"Answer the question."

"Because I want to protect my friends and Guild!"

"That's not the only reason?"

"Really?" Lucy said and sighed. She let her body fall backwards and landed in the soft grass, "then what's the other reason."

Mako moved closer and bowed his body down toward her. She opened her eyes in surprise, but didn't move. Mako made a little laugh by her expression and leaned a little closer. She could once again feel his warm breathe on her face and she had to swallow.

"What are you doing?" She whispered, and laid a hand on his chest so he couldn't move closer. He got surprise by the movement, and he hurried to move his body away.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled, "but … that's the reason I can't continue with the ´fake wedding´ - because I'm getting real feelings for you, Lucy Heartphilia."

Lucy didn't know how to react. She hurried to sit up too and looked away. Then she heard a silent giggle and turned her head back. Mako sat with a crooked smile on his lips.

"What's so funny?" she asked.

"You have grass in your hair," he said and pointed at her. She felt her cheeks get hot and hurried to fumble with her hair, "here, let me help you."

He grabbed a lock of her hair and gently pulled small straws of grass out. His hands was gently, but thorough. When he was done, he still kept a little lock of her blonde hair between his fingers.

"Your hair is ... pretty."

"You can let go, if you're done," Lucy mumbled.

"Can I kiss you?" he suddenly said. It took Lucy off guard and she flicked a little back, "Just once – and then I'll never do it again," he added.

Lucy felt her cheeks warm up again, and lowered her head. Then she felt a soft hand on her cheek and yanked her head up in surprise.

"Mak –" she began, but suddenly his lips was there and the electricity ran trough her. She widen her eyes in surprise, and laid her hands on his shoulders to push him a little away, but he misunderstood and began to run his fingers trough her hair.

"Lucy?" a voice suddenly sounded and Mako pulled away from her. She looked up and saw tree people stand a little from them.

"G – guy's?" she said flustered, "i – it's not what it looks like."

SOOooo, what do you think about MakoLucy? Will it beat GrayLucy? (I don't think so) xDD

Hope you liked and please review. :D
