Opposite Day

Natsu's eyes snapped open, his senses going haywire.

He looked down, ready to punch someone, when he realized what had happened.

Lucy's sleepy smile met his eyes and he felt a weird emotion crawl into his heart, causing it to speed up. He dismissed it, quietly extracting himself from the sleeping blonde.

He decided to leave Happy to rest, jumping easily out of the two story window, landing on his feet with ease.

He raced off towards the Guild, his spirits lifting at the thought of Mira's food. He pushed open the doors, running towards the barista.

"Mira!" He chirped, eyes full of hunger. The woman displayed a stack of waffles, already knowing what the male wanted.

"Arigatou!" He cried, piling the food into his mouth wildly. Mira smiled before turning to the ice mage who had came up, mysteriously missing a shirt.

"Guess what today is Flame brain?" Gray asked, a smirk tugging at his lips.

"What?" Natsu asked in annoyance.

"It's opposite day!" A different voice cheered. Natsu turned to see Erza standing there, a wide smile on her face. Natsu cocked an eyebrow, wondering why she was so energetic.

"Opposite day?" Natsu replied, mouth stuffed. Erza grinned widely and nodded her head, her scarlet hair swishing behind her.

"We have it annually, dumbass." Gray tched. Natsu ignored him, searching his memories for the event. Igneel had never mentioned an 'Opposite day' and he didn't remember celebrating it at the Guild.

"It's where you say the exact opposite at everything!" Mira explained, listening in to their conversation. Natsu furrowed his eyebrows, still not understanding.

"Like this: I think you and Lucy are absolutely terrible together! And you should never even think about kissing her! Or marriage! Or...babies.." Mira's eyes turned into hearts, causing Natsu to sweatdrop.

"But I thought you wanted Lucy to be my mate...?" Natsu cocked his head in confusion, wondering what was with all the bipolar attitudes.

"Levy-chan, we hate you!"

Natsu gawked at Jet and Droy. What the hell? He was sure they were obsessed over the solid script mage! But he was also sure about Mira...

"No Natsu!" Mira had his attention again, returning from her fantasies. "You say the exact opposite of what you mean. As in 'I love you' you would say 'I hate you'. Got it?" Mira said carefully, her blue eyes calculating him.

He stood, a blank, dumb expression on his face. So Love is Hate and Hate is Love? Hm...

"Oh yeah! I got it!" He grinned widely, causing Mira to cry out happily. She smiled along with him.

"Gray-sama, Juvia always hated you!" Juvia squealed, blushing deeply. Natsu watched a blush form on Gray's face, causing him to snicker.

Wait a minute! Opposite day...opposite day... Natsu reminded himself, walking over to Gray's side.

He looped an arm around Gray's shoulders, for once the reason not Erza's doom. He grinned toothily at Gray who sent him a look of confusion.

"Don't worry about it Gray, I'll help you. What are best friends for?" Natsu reassured Gray, leaving the ice mage gobsmacked.

"Juvia." Natsu started off. "Gray will never ever ever like you. He can't stand you. It'd be best if you just gave up on him and went out with that Lyon guy." Natsu advised cheerfully.

Despite knowing it was opposite day, Juvia's eyes filled with tears, blue orbs flashing with hurt. "WAHHH GRAY-SAMA!" She cried, blasting the whole Guild into a whirlpool.

"You idiot!" Gray screamed in a girly fashion at Natsu, the mage not listening while he was swept away.

Lucy opened her eyes, feeling slightly cold. She sat up in bed, looking around for her pink haired best friend.

"Natsu?" She called, wondering if he was going to sneak up on her. She pulled out her covers, noticing the sleeping Happy.

Happy's here...where's Natsu? She thought suspiciously. "Come out Natsu!" She called once more. Happy's small ear twitched and his eyes opened sleepily.

"Gomen Happy." Lucy apologized, seeing she had woken the blue neko. Happy yawned in response, looking around curiously.

"Where's Natsu?" He asked drowsily. Lucy narrowed her eyes at him. If Happy didn't know then...?

"Maybe the Guild?" She thought allowed. He usually took Happy with him everywhere. He never went to the Guild without them.

"Natsu went to bed last night hungry, he probably forgot about us." Happy remembered. Lucy nodded, realizing he was right.

"Let's go then!" Lucy said cheerfully, walking over to her drawers. She opened them and took out a cute pink shirt and soft yellow skinny jeans.

"I'll be right back, don't leave me!" Lucy called, rushing to the bathroom. She quickly changed and brushed her hair and teeth, studying herself closely in the mirror.

"Hm..maybe just a little makeup.." She mumbled, convincing herself.

"Hurry up Lushy!" A voice said in the other room, startling her. She stared longfully at the eyeliner before sighing, putting away her makeup bag. She rushed out of the bathroom, trying to not seem annoyed.

"Let's go." She said, taking her coat just in case. She pulled it on, running out of her apartment, Happy on her trail.

"Aye Sir!" The cat chirped, flying through the sky.

The mage came to the Guild, watching it drip. She instantly thought of Juvia, sweat dropping. She walked in, smiling at everyone.

"Lucy!" Erza called, smiling. Lucy grinned back at her best friend, walking over to her.

"Hey Erza!" She said in response.

"Did you hear?" Erza asked the blonde. The celestial mage rose an eyebrow in response, curious as to what the scarlet haired girl was talking about.

"Today is opposi-"

"Lucy!" A voice interrupted, a grinning Natsu racing to their side. Lucy couldn't help but smile back, happy to see him.

"Natsu!" She greeted back.

"I have to tell you something!" Natsu cut right to it, blushing slightly.

"Eh?" Lucy asked in surprise. Erza looked between them, a secret smile on her face as she slowly slunk away.

"Lucy I...I hate you!" Natsu blurted out, his face slightly red.

Lucy stood in shock, staring at him in disbelief. Did Natsu just say he hated her?

She felt her chest tighten and her heart snap, devastation filling her.

"You hate me?" She whispered the words. Natsu grinned wider, nodding his head.

"I've hated you for a while and I didn't know how to say it..." He explained, not as embarrassed seeing as she felt the same way.

Edit 6/21/13:
