Confessions of a Fairy Tail Mage
"You shouldn't be here."
"Does it matter?"
"Does it matter? Are you listening to yourself Jellal!" Erza hissed in response, and Jellal had enough guts to smirk at her in amusement,
The nerve of this man! She thought hotly, arms crossing in annoyance. Jellal tsked at her attitude, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on Erza, look if it bothers you that much then I'll go-"
"No! -I mean..no, you're here already, what's the point of leaving?" Erza coughed fakely to cover up her embarrassment, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
Jellal's smile seemed to grow wider, brown eyes glittering with humor. "Okay, anything for Ms. Scarlett." The blue haired man bowed mockingly, causing Erza to roll her eyes with a small smile.
Mira watched all of this with a knowing smile, blue eyes pinpointing every couple in the Guild.
Or sadly, should-be-couples.
They were just all dense and stubborn!
Mira sighed, setting down her washcloth as she entered the back kitchen, searching for pancake mix. She was about to pour some into a pan when a sudden thought struck her, leaving her smiling like an idiot.
She raced out of the kitchen quickly, eyes scanning the Guild.
"Mystogan!" She called Jellal's safe name. "Erza!" She caught the attention of both mages, two sets of brown eyes staring at her.
"Come here!" She waved them over, searching once more. "Levy and Gajeel!" She called to the two bickering mages, the reasonable blunette the only one to look over. Gajeel stayed facing away, munching on a pipe most likely.
"Lucy!" Mira called, only to see the blonde already sitting at the bar. Lucy quirked an eyebrow in Mira's direction, indicating 'What's up?'
"Could you please get Gray and Natsu over here?" She asked the celestial mage sweetly. Lucy nodded, standing up from her chair.
Juvia, hearing her beloved Gray-sama's and her love rival Lucy's name in the same sentence, instantly raced towards the ice mage, pulling him by the arm over towards the bar before Lucy could even blink.
"Uh okay then..." Lucy mumbled awkwardly, walking towards the confused dragon slayer. "Hey Natsu!" She called for his attention. Said boy instantly smiled at the sound of his partner's voice, turning towards her.
"Hey Luce!" He jogged to her side, smile morphing into a grin. Lucy looked up to him, her own smile in place. "Mira told me to fetch you." She shrugged, not really able to explain herself. Natsu nodded, walking with Lucy over to the bar.
"Whatcha need Mira? Ooh is it a mission?!" Natsu asked, suddenly excited. Mira giggled, shaking her head at his childishness.
"No it's not a mission, sorry Natsu!" She apologized, walking out from behind the counter. She walked over to a few tables with unoccupied chairs, bringing them to form a circle.
"Everyone sit!" She instructed, rushing into the back once more. Lucy stared after her suspiciously but complied, sitting down in a random chair.
Natsu instantly took the seat next to her, turning so he was situated towards her.
"What do you think we're doing?" He asked curiously. Lucy turned towards him also, their knees bumping.
"Who knows? Some scheme I suppose..." Lucy frowned at the thought, shaking her head at Mira's attempts.
Natsu was about to respond when Mira burst back into the Guild, paper and pens in hand. Gray watched her closely, being forced down into a chair next to Juvia.
"Now everyone take a piece of paper and pen." Mira instructed, handing each one of them the items. She sat down in the head chair, a smile flickering onto her lips devilishly.
What am I even doing? Gajeel thought irritably, glaring at everyone else. Levy peered up at him, shaking her head at his grumpiness.
"Now I want all of you to write something about the one you like. It doesn't even have to be romantic." Mira offered.
"What?"
"Why do we have to do this?"
"Hell no! I'm leaving!"
"Sit down Gajeel!"
Gajeel growled, planting himself in the chair once more. Levy smiled thankfully up at him and the fire bastard had enough guts to snicker.
"Shut up!" Gajeel barked.
"Levy you should control your dog." Natsu grinned at the angry look Gajeel gave him.
"You bast-"
"Stop insulting Gajeel, Natsu!"
Natsu straightened in his chair, not wanting to get on Lucy's bad side. Gray smirked "who's the dog now?" He teased, causing Natsu's eyebrow to twitch.
"Everyone!" Mira shouted, catching their attention once more. She smiled sweetly "please do as I said!" She asked politely. A few grumbles from the males were heard but they complied.
"Okay when you're done you read it aloud."
"Read it out?!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise. She stared down at her words, blushing. Quickly she erased most of it, rewriting it carefully.
Mira eyed her suspiciously. "Ah...yes. And we'll try to guess the person!" She explained gleefully, waiting for everyone to finish.
Once all pens were down Mira clapped in excitement. "Alright! Gajeel start!"
"Why me?!"
"Fine I'll start!" Levy quipped, not in the mood for any more banter. All eyes turned towards the petite girl, causing a blush to form on her cheeks.
"I like..." She mumbled, licking her lips before continuing. "I like how kind you are." Her voice lowered in embarrassment at the looks people were giving her, Lucy smiling stupidly as if she knew.
"I know who it i-"
"Everyone has to read first!" Mira stopped Lucy from spilling, giving the girl a meaningful glance. "Now who would you like to go next Levy?" She asked the bluenette softly.
"Lu-chan!" She instantly pointed towards the blonde, an evil grin on her lips.
"M-Me?" Lucy blushed, looking down towards her paper hesitantly. Sighing, she shakily brought her paper to eye level, trying to distract herself.
"I love how you believe in me no matter what." Lucy stumbled over each syllable, regretting that she wrote something so sappy.
"Aw~" Mira cooed, winking at Lucy. She looked away, pouting cutely.
"Go Jellal!" Lucy's voice rose, trying to direct attention towards the brown eyed boy. Jellal nodded, looking as calm as ever.
"Thank you for giving me a second chance." He read, his expression unchanging. Lucy envied his tolerance level, herself blushing like a tomato.
"Gray," He appointed. Gray nodded, gaze scanning his words.
"I'm tired of pretending." He read out softly, stunning a few people. Pretending? They all thought, wondering what he meant. He leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, a grin crossing his features.
"Natsu," he called naturally. Said boy cursed under his breath, shooting a glare Gray's way.
"Fine fine," he grumbled.
"You always give people second chances even though some of the bastards don't deserve it. Why are you so compassionate? Weirdo." He read loudly and boldly, and after he finished he gave Lucy a cute grin, causing the blonde to blush worse than before.
"Erza," He called absently whilst staring at his partner.
"I find myself missing you more than I should..." She admitted, staring down at the ground. Levy giggled at her cute response, knowing Erza could sometimes be girly, too.
"You might be annoying but you always stay by my side so thanks." Gajeel read before Erza could call on him, his mouth set into a neutral line. Jellal stared at him in surprise, he had never heard a word of gratitude from Gajeel before...hm..
"You're the only one left Juvia." Mira chimed. Everyone stared expectantly at the water mage, already know who she'd talking about.
"Okay!" She straightened out seriously, staring down at her paper for a minute before beginning.
"Juvia likes your warmth." She read off, a breathtaking smile adorning her face.
...
...
...
...
HUH?
What? Warmth? Gray wasn't...he was...Gray was ice!
So who was Juvia talking about?
"You like Natsu?" Lucy's voice came out louder than she had hoped, her eyes turning defensive. Juvia blinked at Lucy in confusion, wondering why she seemed so upset.
"Juvia hasn't finish-"
"How can you like Natsu? I thought you liked Gray!" She demanded, panic setting in.
"Love Rival Juvia is-"
"I think Lucy likes Natsu." Gray snickered, not helping the situation one bit.
"Of course I do you idiot!" She
Edit 6/18/13:
This went in the totally opposite direction that I wanted it to...I most likely will finish this, but I'll rewrite so it goes where I wanted it too... hope you still liked it though, and that it wasn't stupid XD
Bye~
