A/N: Alrighty guys, I think I have decided on the pairing being Gajucy. It is my faaaavorite Fairy Tail pairing. Sorry to those wanting Lalu, I'm sure I'll write one eventually. I'm working on another Gajucy and a Rolu right now on top of this, so I'm just trying to stay afloat.

I would enjoy some constructive criticism, if you have any.c:

Also, I DO NOT own Fairy Tail. If I did.. Well Gajeel and Lucy would be all up on each other and it would probably just be a hentai. Enjoy!

I sighed as I closed my door. My apartment felt unexplainably empty with my friends gone. For once my teammates weren't breaking in and bugging me. Although it pissed me off, at least they kept my mind off of my depressingly unattainable love. I felt another sigh slip past my lips as I made my way to the kitchen.

With only a slight buzz working it's way through my body I came to the conclusion I was way too sober to be dealing with this loneliness. I poured myself another drink and hoisted myself onto the counter, content to not even leave the kitchen. I briefly wondered if I should summon a spirit to keep me company but quickly decided against it.

I didn't need to be interrupting their lives with such trivial problems. In all honesty, I should just give up. I knew my odds with the man were slim to none, it didn't take a genius to know how not his type I was. My mind flitted back to the conversation held here not even an hour ago. A soft smile creeped onto my face, thinking of all the encouraging words my friends had showered upon me. Maybe they were right? Maybe I was just over-reacting and he does like me.

I scoffed as that thought ran through my mind. Yeah right. Though I suppose I shouldn't say it's not possible before ever actually finding out. My mom always told me to fight for what made me happy. It was about time I took her advice to heart, anything would be better than this loneliness I feel whenever my mind wonders to him.

I felt a pang in my heart as I thought about how wonderful he was. I remembered when I had first told Cana and Levy about my crush. I was so nervous, mostly because I had assumed Levy liked him and I didn't want to hurt her feelings. She was quick to expel any thoughts I had on that matter, it was a strictly brother/sister relationship between the two of them. Not only that but her mind was occupied with Freed. Which I still found to be completely adorable. Cana just teased me mercilessly when I told her.

I was still nervous about telling Erza, I didn't want her to… well, be Erza. She can be so protective. The last thing I needed was her storming up to him and letting the cat out of the bag. I think that was probably the worst way for him to ever find out about her infatuation with him.

My mind wandered some more, thoughts of actually being with him flooded into my mind. I couldn't tell if the pleasant feeling in my center was from that or the alcohol I found myself to be quickly consuming. I thought about how it would feel to kiss him, touch him and in return him touching me. I felt my body rise a few degrees as the images in my head quickly began a slope into the gutter. A quiver ran straight from my head to the joint of my legs.

I jump from the counter and make my way to my bathroom as I try to calm my erratic heart from beating out of my chest. A bath will definitely calm me down.

I opened my eyes to my alarm blaring, I huffed and rolled over while slamming down to make it shut up. I had a hangover, I didn't even realize I drank that much yesterday. I slowly sat up and put my feet on the floor, giving my head time to adjust to the motion before standing up and making my way to my closet.

I dressed in my regular outfit and called out Plue before making the trek to the guild. I quickly reached the doors and pushed them open with a smile. I greeted everyone that had noticed my entrance and made my way to the bar.

"Good morning, Mira. Can I have a water please?" I asked her, flashing a grin. She was quick to bring me a cup before leaning against the counter and giving me the look no one is happy to receive.

"So Lucy, yesterday I happened to hear something in passing." Mira stated with an evil grin on her face. This could not be leading anywhere good for me.

I shivered at her stare and chuckled nervously. "And what was that Mira?"

"I heard that you have a love interest in Fairy Tail. Which I find funny because just the other day you told me you didn't like anyone, much less someone from the guild." Mira stated, a worrying glare sparking in her eyes.

With a quick shove against the counter I pushed out of my seat and slapped my money onto the wooden surface and began reversing towards the door. "Well Mira, it's always a pleasure!" I shouted and ran out of the guild. There was no way I was going to stay in there and get interrogated.

I heard her yell after me as I was pushing through the door. I was too involved in escaping to realize there was someone on the other side.
