Fake it Chapter 2

Hey, guys! I wanted to thank you all for the reviews! When I read them, I got all excited and happy, so I decided to write chapter two right now. Who needs sleep before a school day anyway?

Enjoy!

Lucy walked to her apartment, hands in her pockets and a little bit sulking. She'd wanted to stay in the guild a bit more, but at the moment, she'd had plenty of Gray and Natsu and all their idotic immaturity.

When she felt eyes on her back, she stiffened. Sweat formed on her forehead as she remembered the last time she had a creepy stalker, who appeared to be her father. She tunred around slowly, every muscle in her arm wanted to reach for a golden key, Taurus or perhaps Loke. Oh no, definitely not Loke. She was done with boys. For today.

Instead of the long cloak or other fishy people she expected, Lucy's eyes met warm brown ones.

"Is something wrong, Lucy?" Titania said, oblivious to Lucy's almost-attack.

"Nothing, it's just, I didn't know you were following me." The blonde said relieved.

"Of course. People who are dating usually walk each other home, is what Mira told me. Plus, you seemed quite distressed earlier."

Lucy relaxed and allowed the redhead to walk beside her. She walked slower for some unfamiliar feeling in her head. It must have been her fondness for Erza.

"Lucy, tell me the truth. How far do you intend to take this plan? I mean us."

Lucy was surprised, her previous thoughts soon forgotten. She remembered she was faking a relationship with Erza, so she grabbed her hand once again.

"It looks like neither Natsu nor Gray believed our performances. They said they would find proof one way or another."

"How are they going to do that?"

"I don't know. For now, we just have to act if we're very public; holding hands now, kiss on the cheek in Fairy Tail. That should be enough, don't you think?"

No. I want to kiss you, for real. Erza blinked confused. Where did that come from? She just felt very content and a little bit… happy?

"I see. We've arrived at your home. Should I come in?"

"If you want to…"

"I think I'll just head back. Maybe we can go on missions together; just the two of us tomorrow?" The Requip Mage suggested.

"Good idea. Erza…" Lucy said a little embarrassed. "Thanks for helping me. You didn't have to do this."

Lucy thought just now what was different about Erza from Gray or Natsu. While Natsu would've waved it away and Gray grunting awkwardly, Erza smiled sincerely kind. "I'd do anything for you, Lucy. I am in love with you, after all."

With a small wink, she walked back. Lucy looked after the contours of the girl clad in armor for a long time before she went in her home. She was planning to take a bath, when she saw Natsu sitting on her bed grinning.

"Natsu! What did I tell you about sneaking in my house?"

He grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, Lucy. But I had to tell you, that didn't look very convincing. You're in love with Erza, huh? When did that happen? You didn't even kiss when she left."

"WHAT?! You watched us? You… You…" Lucy spoke incoherent.

"What? We told you we would find evidence for your fake relationship?"

"How did you even get the idea of this whole Sherlock Holmes/stalkerish behavior?"

Natsu blinked and tried to come up with an answer.

Flashback

After Erza left, the Demon Mirajane pulled Natsu out of the ruckus.

"What now?" he complained.

"Natsu. Step two is accomplished. Follow Erza to complete step three."

"You're really evil, aren't you? Can't Gray do this?"

"I don't see him now. Hurry up!"

"Aye, Sir!" Natsu complied and took off.

Mira sighed. It'll take a hell of a lot effort to get these two together. I'd get them both drunk and locked up, as with Levy and Gajeel, but that won't work. If I follow the plan, everything will be okay, she thought.

Flashback End

This is the official end of the chapter, but I'm going to include Mira's plan now. It kind of sets the plot, excepts of course for the twists and turns that'll cause utter chaos and the drama everyone seems to love. Sorry if this chapter was a bit short.

Mirajane's plan

Step One: Natsu and Gray confess.

Step Two: Lucy fakes a relationship with Erza

Step Three: Make sure they have to act in love all the time, including going on dates.
3.5: Make them kiss

Step Four: Make Erza realize her feelings

Step Five: Make Lucy realize her feelings.

Step Six: Convince one of them to confess.

Step Seven: Live happily ever after.

Next is up: Spending more time with each other and their first kiss on a lonely train.
