Universe: Fairy Tail
Prompt: Lucy talks to Mirajane about her crush.
In the lively atmosphere of Fairy Tail, Lucy sat at the bar, sipping on a drink while the sounds of laughter and camaraderie filled the guild hall. Mirajane, the ever-curious barmaid, approached with a friendly smile.
"Lucy, you seem a bit lost in thought. Everything okay?" Mirajane asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.
Lucy hesitated for a moment, swirling the drink in her hand before meeting Mirajane's gaze. "Well, you know, just thinking about things."
Mirajane leaned against the bar, a playful glint in her eyes. "Thinking about someone special, perhaps? Any crushes lately?"
Lucy blushed slightly, trying to deflect the question. "Oh, you know, the usual. Nothing too exciting."
Mirajane raised an eyebrow, her smile turning mischievous. "Come on, Lucy, spill the beans! Who's the lucky person you've got your eye on?"
After a moment of internal struggle, Lucy sighed, deciding to be honest. "Okay, fine. It's Natsu. I can't help but like that idiot."
Mirajane grinned, delighted by the revelation. "Natsu, huh? Well, that's adorable. Have you told him?"
Lucy shook her head, a mix of emotions crossing her face. "I haven't. I'm not sure how he'd react, and I don't want to risk our friendship."
Mirajane patted Lucy's shoulder reassuringly. "You never know until you try, Lucy. Besides, Fairy Tail is all about bold moves and facing challenges head-on. Maybe it's time to let Natsu know how you feel."
As Lucy contemplated Mirajane's words, the guild continued to buzz with activity around them. The prospect of confessing her feelings to Natsu lingered in the air, and Lucy couldn't help but wonder what new adventures awaited her in matters of the heart.
As Lucy shared her feelings with Mirajane at the guild bar, unbeknownst to her, Natsu happened to overhear their conversation. His sharp ears caught snippets of words like "crush" and "Natsu," and his curiosity got the better of him. Stealthily, he approached, his eyes widening as he heard Lucy admit her feelings for him.
Lucy, still unaware of Natsu's presence, continued talking with Mirajane about the complexities of having a crush on a fellow guild member. Mirajane, sensing Natsu's approach, shot him a knowing smile, silently encouraging him to confront Lucy.
Natsu cleared his throat, causing Lucy to turn around, surprised to find him standing there with an intrigued expression. "Hey, Lucy. Did I just hear my name in your conversation?"
Caught off guard, Lucy blushed, stammering a bit before admitting, "Uh, yeah. We were just talking about, you know, crushes and stuff."
Natsu grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh? Anyone I know?"
Lucy's heart raced as she looked into Natsu's eyes, realizing that he might have heard more than she intended. Taking a deep breath, she decided to be honest.
"Well, actually, it's... you," she confessed, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of pink.
Natsu's grin widened into a delighted smile. "Really? That's awesome! Because, you see, Lucy, I've kinda had a crush on you too."
The guild hall erupted into cheers as Natsu and Lucy stood there, facing each other with newfound understanding. Mirajane, watching from a distance, couldn't help but smile at the Fairy Tail magic at play, bringing two hearts together in the midst of laughter and guild revelry.
