A/N: For all you high schoolers out there, I hope that you don't have a "Loke" out there stealing your crush. Because if you do, then you'll just have to confess your feelings before anyone else can.

You can do it! ^.^

"Natsu-nii? What's wrong?", Wendy asked me as I was slumped all over the couch looking up at the ceiling.

"Nothing", I responded in a quiet but convincing tone.

"Something is wrong! You look so sad and depressed!"

"I always look like this"

"No! The last time I saw you like this was when Lisanna moved"

"..."

"So please, tell me what's wrong"

I looked right in her eyes, and saw something different about them. They were filled with pure concern and worry.

Wendy, my little sister, was worrying about me!

Usually I'm the one who cheers up and helps Wendy. But this time, it seems as if our roles were reversed.

I sat up straight and took in a deep breath, thinking about what I was going to say to her. But nothing appeared in my mind, so I used something else to help me speak, my heart.

"When I started school, I met this wonderful girl, her name is-

"Lucy?", Wendy questioned catching me off guard.

"Yeah...how did you know?"

"Sometimes when you're asleep you whisper her name"

"I-I do?!", my face instantly turned bright red.

Wendy nodded, "Sorry for interrupting, go on"

I took another breath in and continued.

"I…...I instantly started to have feelings for her. I just love the way her chocolaty brown eyes shine, as she does her beautiful smile. Or how she acts so positive about everything. Or how she always has a cheery and joyful mood…..I never thought that I would feel this way"

"..."

"She's just….amazing"

I let my bangs cover my face as I stared at the ground. I didn't have the spirit or power to say the thing I really wanted to say.

"Natsu-nii", Wendy whispered as she cupped both of my cheeks and made me look at her.

"Say it"

"Say what….."

"You know what you want to say"

"I…..I…-

"C'mon Natsu-nii you can do it"

"I….I love Lucy!"

"You did it!"

'I did didn't I! It felt really good to say it'

"Now all you have to do, is say it to her"

"I…..can't"

"And why is that?"

'Loke….'

"Because…...she doesn't feel the same way"

"How do you know that?"

'Yeah, how do I know that?'

"I think….she likes another...guy", I whispered the last couple of words as I averted my gaze from Wendy's.

"Where's your proof?"

"We have a school dance coming up and she's going with another guy"

"Did you even bother to ask her out?"

"..."

"I tried….but I wasn't fast enough…...he beat me to it"

"Well that doesn't mean that she's in love with the guy, she probably just accepted it to be nice"

'She's got a point! But!-

"Natsu-nii! Go to the dance and confess your love for her!"

"What?! N-No way!"

"You're my older brother so stop acting like a child!"

'Wow! Did Wendy just shout at me?'

"I-

"If you don't go to the dance then I'll just have to tell this Lucy girl myself!"

"Fine I'll go to the stinkin dance!"

"Yay! I believe in you Natsu-nii! Do your best!"

"Aye!"

'Well there goes my anime binge watching day!'

…

'Man, I don't see Lucy anywhere! This sucks!'

Since I didn't want to stand out, I sat down next to my friends as they chugged down their fruit punch.

"So jalapeno you didn't ask anyone to the dance?", Gray asked as he put a mountain load of ice in his punch.

"Nope! But I'm searching for someone, she should be here any second"

"Let me guess, is it Lucy?"

'Shit! He's on to me!'

"M-Maybe! What's it to you brain freeze!"

He smirked, "It's funny seeing a hot head like you fall in love"

"I'm not!-

"Save it, we all know you love Lucy, it's like the most obvious thing in the world!"

"Oh y-yeah! What about you and Juvia!"

"W-What about her?!"

"I thought you asked her ou-

"GRAY-SAMA!", a loud but cheery voice shouted right next to me making me jump out of my chair.

"Juvia!", Gray and Juvia both hugged each other tightly, as they spinned next to the table.

I'm guessing Gray forgot I was here because when he turned around he immediately blushed from embarrassment.

"L-Later pyro! I have something to…..do, later!"

"Yay! Juvia and Gray-sama are going to make out!", Juvia shouted cheerfully as ever.

"Shhh! Juvia not so loud, especially in front of hot sauce!", Gray whispered/shouted, making Juvia apologize.

'Man those two are weird, but I have to admit, they're great together. Just like water and ice'

I couldn't help but smile, but my smile soon disappeared after I spotted a certain ginger haired boy with glasses walk beside me.

'Loke?!'

I kept my eye on him, watching his every movement.

'As long as I keep him in my sight then he'll lead me straight to Lucy'

Loke walked by past everybody until he reached the corner of the dance floor. There was a pink haired girl standing there, she immediately smiled once Loke went up to her. Loke smiled back as he handed her a cup of fruit punch.

'She must be one of his friends, but where's Lucy?'

Loke wrapped his arms around the pink haired girl and kissed her right on the lips.

'WHAT THE HELL?!'

I couldn't believe my eyes, Loke said that he was interested in Lucy, but he was kissing and hanging out with another girl that wasn't Lucy.

'So then….why did you bother? Why did you ask Lucy out?'

'Why?!'

I was about to march over to Loke but a certain glimpse of blonde hair passed by me.

'Lucy?'

I looked over and saw Lucy running past everybody and out of the gymnasium.

"Lucy…"

I ran right after her, as I brushed by everybody in my way.

'Could it be, that she saw Loke kiss that girl? Is that why she ran out?'

I kicked the gymnasium doors and ran outside into the night's cool fresh breeze.

It blew my hair and my black jacket back, as I looked around for Lucy. But she wasn't too hard to find.

She was right underneath me on some set of stairs sobbing into her hands.

'Lucy…'

My heart clenched, my only weakness was seeing her cry, I hated seeing that.

Her sobbing stopped for a split second as she heard me sit down right next to her

I could see through the corner of my eyes that she was staring at me, but I didn't look back at her, instead I looked up at the glowing stars.

They were so pretty, but one star stood out from the rest.

It glowed brighter than the others, even though all of them were shining bright.

I couldn't take my sight away from it.

"Amazing…", I breathed out making Lucy look up at the sky too.

"What's amazing?", she whispered softly as she wiped away some of her tears from her cheeks.

I pointed to the one special shining star.

"That star….it's so beautiful"

Lucy looked up at the star and fell in the same trans as me. We both were blinded by it's beauty, neither one of us wanted to look away.

"You know something Lucy?..."

"What is it?"

I used all of my power to avert my gaze from the star and right onto Lucy's beautiful face. The moonlight and the stars seemed to make Lucy's face even more prettier.

"That star reminds me of you"

Lucy's eyes widened as she stared intently into mine.

Looking into her eyes made me feel the same feeling as when I stared up at that glowing star.

And I finally realized what that feeling was….hope.

"Why?", she whispered softly as she continued to stare into my onyx eyes.

I smiled softly, 'It's now or never'

"Because, that star is just as beautiful as you are. You both shine bright, and you both give me hope"

"Hope?", she questioned softly as she returned her gaze to the glowing star.

"Yeah, even though I barely saw that star, I'm already in love with it"

"Just like how I love you"

Lucy turned her gaze right towards mine as soon as I finished my sentence.

Her face was filled with pure shock as she tried to say something.

"W-What d-did you say?"

I slid towards her and embraced her into a hug.

"I said…..I love you, Lucy Heartfilia"

A/N: He did it! I'm so proud of him! ^.^
