Story of Us

LUCY

It's another ordinary day at the guild-well, scratch that. 'Ordinary' is not a word that one should use when describing a normal day at Fairy Tail.

Natsu and Happy are currently busy playing with our other guildmates...How? Well, chairs and tables are sent flying, falling down and breaking, charred and icy flooring, loud bantering, clothes scattered everywhere courtesy of a certain Ice-make mage, a splatter of cake's icing on the floor-I cringed at that, shaking my head. So, that's why it started to become so violent- and a brawling group of people scattered around the guild...If those were all a result of a game then yes! They're playing...

I sighed, turning back and looking longingly at the blank notepad in front of me!

Argh! Why can't I write anything?! Where are all those juicy bits that I'm excited to write after getting some inspiration on the cute couple-enjoying their stroll around the city-that I passed by earlier?! Now that I want to write about them, I suddenly realized that there's nothing really special about what I saw... They were just a normal couple, on a date. Nothing more, nothing less...

Perhaps that can be used as a nice basis for a dating scene in a story but what I need is a storyline! A unique one at that! A topic!

Clenching and unclenching my pen in my hand, I quickly finished the strawberry milkshake I ordered earlier.

I need some inspiration! Anything!

"Lucy? Is there something wrong?" A soft melodic voice called out. I looked up and sure enough, Mira's standing in front of me, face a mixture of curiosity and worry.

I shot her a small sheepish smile, a little embarrassed that someone saw me getting crazy over writing other than Natsu and Happy.

"It's nothing really...You seem busy Mira, I don't want to impose or anything." I replied, eyeing the people calling out for the Take-over Mage's attention for their orders.

Mira just shook her head, giving me a pointed look. "Nonsense! It's not nothing if you looked so stressed out about it! I can let Kinana or Lisanna take over me, don't worry...You look like you need someone to talk to!" She stated firmly before looking for Kinana or Lisanna to handle things while she talks to me.

I frowned, not wanting to make such a big deal out of this.

While I wait, I focused my attention on what is currently happening in the guild, moving my head to the side when I saw something blue fly out of nowhere. Casting it a glance, despite being down, I can't help but let out a small smile at the blue feline huffing from his slumped form on the ground. As if nothing had happened to him, Happy quickly shot up into the air, snickering as he flew towards where Natsu is.

Natsu, who noticed that his partner had returned, flashed him a grin. Suddenly distracted, my gaze traced the Dragon Slayer's form as he turned to reply to whatever Gray said about him.

With his soft disheveled salmon locks which I would certainly like to run my hands with...

His valuable scarf winded around his neck, the end flopping up and down alongside his every move... The way he treasured it, like how he prioritizes his family-the guild-is something I really admire ever since knowing what it meant for him...

His boisterous laugh and energetic movements... He may be reckless and obnoxious at times, but at the same time, there's this aura about him...

Innocent and pure.

Fierce and confident.

Loving and thoughtful.

He has such a certain effect on people. His presence wriggling or has the capability of forcing his way into people's life even without permission...He's even oblivious about doing it!
