Day 4: Angry Confessions/END
"So, what's happening Lucy?" Erza asked her so seriously that Lucy had to take a step back, did she do something wrong?
"Eh! Nothing?" She answered doubtful.
"Erza! She doesn't know anything yet!" Mira waved her hands frantically.
Lucy looked at both of them suspiciously, yeah she was late to the guild by an hour but what could have happened in that short span of time, but then again we are talking about fairytail anything can happen here, Lucy sweat-dropped.
"Natsu kissed some chic" Cana announced and chugged her beer, Erza and Mira gasped at the mention, while Lucy was baffled.
"Cana-san it was not exactly like that." Wendy intertwined.
"Now Lucy is malfunctioning." Erza sighed disapprovingly, it was then that Lucy remembered how to breath.
'Natsu kissed a girl? He was dating? She didn't know about it, he liked someone? How come she never realised it before? How come everyone else knew? What happened? When happened? Why happened? Wait was that even true?' Her train of thoughts came to an abrupt halt and she looked at the girls questioningly or rather accusingly for making wrong assumptions.
"Yukino came to the guild today looking for Natsu asking if she can kiss him and then both of them disappeared together." Mira told her nearly in tears.
Lucy's brain was still not ready to accept that, huh? It doesn't make sense, Yukino and Natsu? How is that even possible.
"I am sorry Lucy" Erza said putting a sympathetic hand on her shoulder.
"I'll punish him for breaking your heart when he is back in the guild." Erza stated menacingly.
The sight of poor Natsu getting attacked by Erza for being in love with someone else, made Lucy's heart ache.
"Why would you punish him, it's not like he did anything wrong and what do you mean he broke my heart, he can be in love with anyone." Lucy tried to sound airy but the awkwardness was clear, it was not even like they were dating but her friends made it sound like he just cheated on her, and to be honest Lucy did get the feeling of being cheated and she hated that.
Tears formed in the corner of her eyes, she didn't want to cry in front of her guild mates, that too over a guy who was not even hers to begin with, she said her farewell and went home.
"Lucy." Mira whispered softly when she left but she didn't want their pity nor felt like talking to anyone, if anything she was feeling stupid for having these unrequited feelings for a guy who was not even interested in her, angry that everyone in the guild knew about her feelings even though she never even accepted them publicity and she hated the fact that they were right.
On her way out she saw them, Natsu and Yukino. Yukino was blushing like crazy, Natsu's cheeks were dusted pink too, he was trying to give the carefree attitude but she could tell that he was shy, she even noticed that his lips were shining, so it was all true they did Kiss each other, Lucy could feel her heart break into a million pieces, as they came closer, she ducked to avoid them, she was not ready to face them just now and rushed home, to hide her pathetic version.
******************************************************
Natsu took a whiff of the air and knew that Lucy was around, finally the sleepyhead was here he thought and banged open the guild hall.
“LUCY!” he screamed on top of his lungs.
But when the door opened, her smell disappeared and his eyes met that of Erza's who was looking at him murderously, Mira was avoiding his eyes, Cana was chuckling while others were just looking at him like he was the 8th wonder in the world.
“Thank you so much Natsu-san, I'll be going now.” Yukino said bowing to him before making her way to Sabertooth.
“NATSU” Erza barked at him and he got scared, what was wrong with everybody, why were they acting all weird.
“How could you do this Natsu-san” Wendy said looking annoyed at him, he was taken aback, what had he done?
“I thought you had a thing for Lucy.” Mira said softly knowing well that he would be hearing that.
“Errrr! What did I do? Where is Lucy?” Natsu asked annoyed, he just wanted to show this thing to her and she was nowhere in sight, instead his guildmates were accusing him of something he didn't even recollect doing.
Mira gasped, Erza took out her sword, Cana spilled her beer and Wendy gave him a look of disbelief.
“You broke her heart and you think she will stay here?” Erza put her sword on his throat.
“Eh? What are you guys talking about?” Natus was getting frustrated now, he broke Lucy’s heart? Not in a million years.
“We know you kissed Yukino.” Cana said smugly yet her eyes looked irritated.
“Huh? What? Who’s Yukino? WHAAAT?” Natsu screamed making others cover their ears, there is no way they are talking about what he was thinking right? he looked at them desperately not being able to say anything for once.
“Lucy just left, I am pretty sure she must have seen you two.” Mira said.
“It's not what you think. Yukino just-” Natsu tried to explain but the thought of Lucy misunderstanding him was unsettling and he wanted to see her as soon as possible so he ran like a mad man, while the girls looked at his disappearing figure confused.
Tears. That's the first thing he smelt when he reached near her home, and his heart thunded, Lucy was crying? But why? The only thing he couldn't take in this world was her tears, she meant everything to him and yet here she was crying and it made him feel like shit, knowing that the reason for those tears was he himself.
He leapt to her window but the sight in front of him punched in the gut and rage took over him in seconds.
Lucy was sitting on her bed with tear stained cheeks, Loke had his hand on the small of her back with his lips just few millimeters away from here, but before they could meet, Natsu kicked him back into the celestial world, he was panting, Lucy noticed the scales on his arms and pattern forming around him, flames engulfing his structure, was he in the dragon mode? Or was it END mode? She thought and was scared to approach him.
*****************************************************
When Lucy had seen Natsu and Yukino together she came home and broke down, she told herself multiple times that she must accept it, act naturally around him, but it was too hard, she always wore her emotions on her sleeves, Loke heard her crying and offered his shoulder she told him everything, and he said that she was acting silly, there was no way Natsu would do that to her and she might be misunderstanding, but when she told him about the Lip gloss, he laughed hard but sobered up when she pinched him but then suddenly started leaning into her, she would have kicked him if not for Natsu showing up, but now she knows why he did that, she really was grateful of her spirits.
Natsu’s anger was scaring her so she called him softly.
“WHAT WAS HE TRYING TO DO TO YOU?”
“Nothing, we were just talking.”
“THAT SURELY LOOKED LIKE YOU TWO WERE JUST TALKING.”
His outbursts made Lucy angry as well and before she knew it she was shouting.
“HELL YEAH! THAT WAS TALKING.”
“SEEMED LIKE LIP LOCKING TO ME”
Lucy blushed at his choice of words but still stood her ground.
“NO IT WAS NOT, IF ANYTHING IT WAS YOU WHO KISSED SOMEONE.”
“I NEVER KISSED ANYONE.” Natsu gave exasperated look coming close to her while she kept taking a step back till he cornered her to the wall.
“Yeah sure you didn't, I saw you.” Lucy said.
“Luce, That-” He started saying.
“BESIDES, WHOEVER I KISS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.” Lucy shouted as the image of them blushing and coming towards the guild with Natsu’s glossy lips resurfaced in her mind.
“DAMN IT! IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ME.”
“WHY? WHY DOES IT MATTER.” Lucy screamed trying to make her way out of his confronting gaze.
“BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, DAMN IT” Lucy’s eyes widened at his confession and her heart pounded at an abnormal rhythm, she didn't, couldn't react and just looked at him, making his anger cool down letting a small blush tint his cheeks again.
“And I want to be the only one ever kissing you.” Natsu said softly, rubbing his neck shyly.
“But Yukino-?” Lucy started.
“OYE! SHE CAME TO ASK ME TIPS TO SEDUCE STING.” Natsu said annoyed at being accused of making out with Yukino again.
“She came and told me that she confessed to Sting yesterday and he just said my name in reply, confusing the girl so she wanted to ask for tips, but I don't know how to seduce, otherwise I would have made you mine a long time ago.” Natsu said, embarrassed, avoiding making an eye contact.
“I just took her home to show her the pictures I took with Sting last time he was in the town and told her that, Sting had confided to me then that he liked her but thought that Yukino didn't like him and I had told him that in my opinion she did and he had said that if that happens he would owe me one and I told her that it was my guess but I thought that must be why he said my name during that time.” Natsu tried explaining the situation, and finally it occured to Lucy that he indeed was the third wheel in there relationship.
“Your lips?” Lucy asked, still trying to put things together in her head.
“Oh that! It's her lip gloss, it was smelling so sweet, I thought it looked sick on my lips and rushed to show you but you were not at the guild.” Natsu said pouting a bit and now looking at those glossy lips Lucy lost it.
She started laughing so hard that the tears started pouring out of her eyes again.
“Don't they look good on me?” Natsu asked but Lucy was busy laughing.
“Oye.” Natsu narrowed his eyes at the laughing blonde and then suddenly kissed the life out of her, which calmed her down pretty fast, before he could pull away, she started kissing him as well.
While the now soon to announce couples were making out, Erza and the others were having fun beting how they must be doing.
