YOSH! Here's chapter 3! Hope you enjoy~! ^A^


Natsu's P.O.V

"Natsu~~~!" lucy called me.
"ah! Luce!" I waved at her with a usual grin I always do.
"where did you go? I've been searching everywhere for you!"she pouted.
'kawaii…'
"…."
"moshi-moshi? Natsu? You ok?"
"ah… mm, I'm fine. But that aside… your in good mood today, huh? What happened?"
"ah! Well today, gray asked me if we can have lunch together, and talk to each other."
"hmm…. Well you know what will happen, right? Are you sure you still wanna go?" I ask worriedly.
'I can totally predict what will happen….'
"mm… I know, yet I still want to go! So I can spend time with him alone….together…."
"okay…. If that's what you want…. BUT! I'll come too."
"EH?! Why?! I'll be fine anyways!"
"no, I need to protect you…. i will not let gray see your hurt…"
"natsu….. thank you…. but, I'm really okay so….. bye. I need to go now."
"but- wai-, lucy!"

- in the cafeteria-
in the end… I ended up following them….
"sigh…. I really hate going to the school cafeteria …. Because it doesn't even look like a cafeteria! It looks like a huge restaurant…"
'now, where to find lucy…..'
"ah! There they are!"
I covered my face with the menu the whole time, even though many people are staring and giggling at me.
"I can't help it, can I? I cant let myself be discovered..." I complain.
as I watch them eat together, she seems pretty happy so I was a bit relief.. but I heard gray brought out the 'sensitive' topic . lucy's face change from a happy one into a sad face.
"that jerk!" I was about to stand when lucy spoked so I stoped and listen to what the two of them are talking.

~lucy and gray's conversation~
"lucy, you know it happened again… she cried again because of him.."
"eh…? ….. ahh…. I-I see…." She said as she put on her sad face.
"hey lucy, you said you'll help me. What will I do?"
"ah… yeah… t-that's a good question…"
"um… I was thinking of confessing…"
"EH?!" she unconsciously stand from her seat as she bang the table. Many people are startled and stared at them.
"E-eh?! You cant!"
"huh..? why not…? I though you support me…"
"a-ah… w-what I was trying to say is…. Y-you still can't confess yet…. She still loves jellal…s-s-soo you'll just be rejected…"
"ah… i-I see…. Then what do I need to do..?"
"a-ah….. l-let erza forget jellal…?"
"HA! That a great idea! I'll do something to let her forget him and then make her fall for me! I like it thank you lucy! You're the best!"
"m-mm…! y-yeah you s-should do that…"
"eh…? Lucy… are you okay..?"

I didn't listen any more and stand up from my seat to go to their table.
'damn you gray… can't you see… she's about to cry!'

Lucy's P.O.V

gray is so happy….. I should be happy for him….. but why..? I want to cry… someone…
' I don't want him to see me like this…'
"e-eh..? I'm fine… really…" I faked a smile
"oh I see good then, lets eat!"
oh no…. the tears…. Are gonna fall-

someone grabbed my hand and hugged me, in time whem my tears are about to fall. So luckily gray didn't se it.

'this smell…'
"natsu….."
"you idiot….! I told you I'm gonna come to…"
"s-sorry…"
"oi gray! Were going now! I'm taking her home!"
"eh?! Lucy how about class…? Are you sure your okay…? If you don't I can excuse you… BUT not you flame brain!"
"can't you see that lucy is not feeling well? Your really a natural airhead….and who you callin' a flame brain, huh Droopy-Eyes?!"
"you wanna go squinty eyes?!"
"natsu…. Let's go..." I tighten my hold on his shirt.
"ah… mm.."

Normal P.O.V

*walking home*
"natsu…. I'm sorry…."
"It's okay already, besides he didn't see you cry right? His happy right? You should smile at least..."
"But… I'm so selfish"
"sight… it's not your fault lucy….."
"Yes it is! I want him to be happy but I don't want him to be with erza! Why am I so selfish? Why can't I just let myself be happy because his happy?! I can't continue like this! I hate myself!"
"It's normal, because you love him…. I'm like that too… I want her just for myself…. But she loves another man so I can only support her… staying by her side guarding her smile…. Even though it's still not enough for me… I endure it… as long as I can see her smile… as long as she's happy….."
"natsu…."
"lucy… in love… you really can't help to be greedy sometimes….. so it's not your fault… it's your feelings after all….uh… I suppose I should say… fallow your heart, do what you need to do.."
"mm! thank you natsu…. I hope you are the one that I love… instead of gray…. Because you're always there….. Protecting me…. Making me smile…. Ahh~haa guess it can't be help"
"yeah… I hope that the one you love to is me =… not that bastard" he wisphered..
"hmm? You said something natsu?"
"hmm…? Ohh! Nothing!"

Everyones P.O.V

*heartfilia's residence*
"sigh….. I wonder what will be hime's reaction if she find out about this sooner or latter….. I'm worried…." Virgo said.

"well then Mr. Jude, Mrs. Layla , my wife and I need to go. We will just inform our son bout the engagement."
"ah, we'll inform our daughter as well about this."
"I hope they could meet soon, right Mrs. Layla ?" said the mysterious woman.
"Eh. Me as well. I hope they will like each other."
"well then goodbye. Have a nice day"
