Sorry for the late update, guys! Anyhow, here it is!
Usual day, usual people, usual happenings.
Juvia decided to visit the guild today, and she went to the counter to buy her favorite drink. Mirajane noticed Juvia was sighing wistfully, and she remembered the events that happened between the water mage and Gray.
Well, Mira can't really blame her, because when her Freed acts all romantic, she can get a little tipsy and all sappy.
Both mages sighed, with their eyes fluttering, hands supporting chin, and eyes shining.
Love was a good thing.
While they were daydreaming, Erza noticed them and joined the two lovesick mages.
Erza stared at them, confused. She can't imagine being all romantic. It would ruin her tough image. But then,
She pictured a blue haired man, and she thought about the things that would happen to her if Zeref didn't manipulate him. They would just settle down, and maybe she wouldn't be known as Titania. Imagining an alternate future made her sad. Because things will never be the same again.
"Heyya guys!" Lucy greeted them cheerfully, and she noticed that they were all consumed by their thoughts.
"Hello Lucy-san!"
"Hi Lucy!"
Erza just nodded in acknowledgement. She then noticed that she was the only one who doesn't have a romantic lover. 'Mirajane has Freed, Juvia has Gray, Lucy has Natsu (well, he isn't THAT romantic, but it counts). And I have cheesecake. That's just sad.'
Lucy can't help the awkward silence. The three of her companions just sat there, looking a bit dazed. She tried to make some conversations, but failed.
"LUCY!"
"LUCY! NATSU FOUND A GOOD MISSION WITH A HUGE PAY!" Happy screamed while looking ecstatic.
Lucy wasn't in the mood to do missions. She and Natsu were taking hard missions four times a week. She was a girl, for Pete's sake! She needed some time to breathe. Besides, she needed some time to think about her…feelings for the dragon slayer.
"You go on, guys. I feel tired."
Natsu and Happy were a bit sad, but Natsu tried to act 'all fired up' by pumping his fists up. Happy did the same, and called out for Lucy.
"AYE! We'll just bring you souvenirs, LUCY!"
Lucy just smiled; same with her three companions.
"You were a little harsh there Lucy. Natsu was looking forward to having a mission with you. Tsk." Mirajane reprimanded Lucy with her head shaking in disappointment.
"Mira-san is right, Lucy-san. Natsu-san looks sad when you declined his offer." Juvia joined Mira.
"I have to agree with them, Lucy." Erza said.
"What the hell? Come onnn, I AM tired! Can't a girl get some rest? We've been taking missions for I dunno, four days straight!" she complained.
"He wanted your attention." Mira said.
"Natsu-san llllllikkkess Lucy-san." Juvia joked while the three of them laughed. Lucy just blushed.
"Nooo! It's not like that!" Lucy tried to defend herself.
"Oh, but it is." Erza said while staring at Lucy with her most menacing look. Lucy gulped, and sighed in defeat.
"Fine. Is it that obvious?" she asked them. Mirajane just screamed, with the whole guild looked at her. Juvia and Erza patted her back.
"Good, you finally noticed." Erza said while munching on her cheesecake. Lucy just stared at her, realizing that she was right; Lucy was denying that she likes Natsu.
"What, you just realized that you were stupid?" Erza smirked, and Lucy felt insulted.
"Oh come on Lucy." Juvia dropped the honorifics because she was serious. "Tell Natsu your feelings."
"It's easy for you to say! You and Gray are dating now!" Lucy countered.
Juvia blushed. Does Gray-sama consider THAT as a date? She wished. She looked for the ice-mage, and she found him sitting at the corner, playing cards with Wakaba, Jet and Droy. Good thing he didn't hear Lucy with her outburst.
"To be honest, Juvia doesn't know if that's a date."
"Are you kidding me? He asked you out, You also said that you had a romantic stroll under the starry sky. You also kissed him! Even someone who's dense as Natsu can see it's a date." Lucy explained.
Juvia blushed another shade of red. She looked at the ice mage again, when she caught him staring at her. Both blushed, and then looked away.
"See what I mean?" Lucy said with a triumphant smile. Erza also smiled at Juvia, while Mira did a happy dance.
"But-"
"No buts, Juvia. I support you two, and if Gray ever hurts you, tell me and I will slaughter him." Erza said with a serious tone, with a dark aura emanating from her, everyone else quieted, and shuddered at Erza.
Juvia just sighed. When Erza says something, she keeps her word.
'But Gray-sama wouldn't hurt Juvia, right?' Juvia convinced herself.
Yeah, I know. Short chapter, sorry. *cries
Anyhow, it has some Nalu moments there, right? RIGHT?
I promise that the next chapter would be a lil longer, and more fluff. So you wait guys!
Thankies for reading, for the reviews and yadayada. But really, thankies!
