Chapter 6: Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart

Natsu's POV:

I grinned, knowing that Juvia said yes to Gray. He was the happiest of all, still a bit annoyed that I was paired up with her for the dance. Juvia didn't care; she was just delighted to finally be called Gray's girlfriend.

They both looked so in love, and I just hoped that I would have a relationship like that too! But it probably won't happen.

School ended by in a flash, and when I was just about to leave, I was approached by Cana, Bacchus, and Juvia. What do they need with me..?

"Oi, Natsu! I devised a plan to help you with Lucy, just come along with me when your ready," She handed me a piece of paper. "That's my number, if you call me, I'll come to you and we'll get ready for the plan."

She nodded then walked away with Bacchus, leaving both Juvia and I alone.

"Yes?" I asked, looking around for Gray.

She glanced away. "Well... Juvia is hoping to go shopping with Lucy-san. And Juvia has an idea! Instead of Natsu-san and Juvia having matching clothing, wouldn't it be fun if it was switched? For example, Lucy-san wearing my dress that Juvia bought, and Gray-sama wearing a matching outfit with Juvia's!" Her eyes sparkled like never before.

I blushed, and looked away. I felt a bit embarrassed that Lucy would have a matching outfit like mine's. I nodded in agreement; Juvia jumped in joy. "Thanks, Natsu-san! Juvia thinks of you as a great friend!"

Gray walked down the steps as she said that and he shook his head up and down. "Yup, so I'm guessing she told you, flame-brain? Or are you too hot-headed to understand?" He smirked at his retort.

"Shut up, Popsicle-stick! You dumb ass bastard!" I punched him, and we had our usual fight once again.

We fought, but were interrupted by someone yelling. "HEY." Erza came over to us and grabbed us by the collar.

"You boys think you could fight on the school grounds? NO! UNACCEPTABLE." She stated simply; in Erza's language, of course. "You better stop, before I get you two suspended and out of the dance."

"Sorry, ma'am!" Both Gray and I said in unison.

"Hey, you don't need to be that rough." Jellal came over to us, and Gray and I tried to scramble out of Erza's strong grasp. We were running in the air as she held us up, and we put out our hands only to be dropped on the ground.

"J-Jellal..!" Erza blushed and looked away. "Uhm.. I didn't know you were there."

Gray smirked as he looked up at Erza. "Oh? I never knew the 'Titania' would be out of words, isn't that right, Prez?" Gray smirked again, this time more arrogantly.

I watched as she merely stomped on him like it was nothing. "Shut. Up." She said word by word. Me? I laughed, only to get myself stomped by Erza. She stepped on me with one foot, and the other on Gray. "Both of you better shut. Up."

We nodded in response, too busy getting hurt rather to say something.

~O~O~

I walked home along with Juvia and Gray; you could hear us bickering from a mile away. I've been thinking a lot, although. I mean, I've been in school for a month, and I stillinteracted with Lucy. I mean I talk to her... Not as much though.

Recently, I've been thinking of just letting my feelings slip away; there's no way she's just going to break up with Dan if I'm not going to do something.

Wait.

That's it!

I need to catch her heart, and just tear it away from Dan! She doesn't deserve to be with some son-of-a-bitch who's just arrogant.

She needs me.

And I need her.

~O~O~

Lucy's POV:

Would you believe me if I said I'm in love...?

I mean like yeah, I like someone. But not that much to say I love them. I merely like him; not love, love is too much for me.

However... It's not Dan. It's Natsu... Natsu Dragneel. Recently, I've been slipping away from Dan, falling for Natsu's famous quriks; his trademark grin just adds a huge amount of passion for him!

I still like Dan, but I don't know.. I catch Natsu staring at me at times, but when I see, I merely look away from embarrassment.

To me, it was the first time to see such a boy with his mouth covered in drool just by looking at me.

Although I don't talk to him, he grew onto me. Sometimes, when I'd look at him and he was already staring, he'd smile, showing his toothy grin.

I love his smile.

I love his tenderness.

I love his passion.

However, I am not in love with him.

Stupid, right? I've only known him for a short period of time, one month. When I do muster up the courage to talk to him, I end being stern and cold instead of being nice and heart-warming.

Dumb Lucy.

I'm still with Dan, though. I would just hate to break his heart; he has multiple personality disorder, and it would just fumble his heart.

Me? Honestly, I would actually like to do that. He's sometimes abusive with his other personality. I just loved his actual personality. Nonetheless, people have been telling me that he was cheating, and that his rude personality was his true one.

I merely thought, "I can't fall in love with a man only made up from a personality; other aspects being false and not real."

Sighing, I tossed my head down to stare at my thighs to pass time while waiting for Juvia.

Nope, that's it. I need to break up with Dan. Today, to be precise. What time? Now, to be exact as I can.

Taking out my phone, I dialed his number. It rang a few times, then I heard his voice. He sounding scratchy, at the same time in happiness, due to something I didn't know of.

"Uhm.. W-What are you doing...?" I asked simply, shocked at my loss for words.

"Uhh," I heard his say. "I'm kinda busy with my friends."

"Oh, come on, Dan. You know you've been cheating, just tell the girl!" The feminine voice laughed evilly as Dan moaned.

"Cheating?!" I yelled, mad.

They were right.

"We're done. Me and you? Over. There's no Dan and Lucy anymore. Goodbye!" I ended it with a huff.

That lying bastard. Before I knew it, tears were running down my eyes, and I was slowing drifting to sleep.

I'm so so sorry! ik, I haven't updated. I've been obsessed with RPG games and TDAS (Total Drama All Stars) Scotney or Scourtney or whatever you call it. But the winners for the poll are Laxus-x-Mira! For the Freed-x-Mira fans, a special story will be presented! Please review, and enjoy!
