Alive - Fairy Tail - RoWen

The words that change everything

Hello again! I'm trying to get this fanfic over with so I can write more fanfic and yeah so I might update very fast. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and the ones in the future.

Natsu's POV

Romeo seems to be a bit off with the dragons. He's been acting pretty odd ever since the announcement from Mira the other day. When I walked past and caught him staring off in to the distance and grinning like a mad man, I decided to begin my investigation. I made a beeline to his table, pushing past a multitude of surprisingly sober bodies and pulled out a chair. After an ear-splitting, splintery screech, I sag next to the day dreaming boy.

"Romeo? Hey? Are you ok?" I inquired. No response. I tried again, yet to no avail. By the time he noticed me I was literally poking him in the face and yelling his name at the top of my lungs. Roughly the entire guild had its eyes on me before he even turned an eye remotely in my direction.

"Oh.. Hey Natsu...." And then he was off again. A few guild members turned and sniggered while Macao cast me an understanding yet slightly amused look before turning back to Waccaba (I can't spell, don't stab me plz). You know when you're holding twenty gargantuan, human sized eggs and then someone gives you another and you drop them all and they splat subsequently making a pile of death and despair made from egg? Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt.

"ROMEO!"

"Huh? Oh... Hey...." I'd never seen him so distracted in all my life.

"Are you OK Romeo?"

"What do you mean? Of course I am." Inevitably, I let out a long-winded sigh and covered my face in annoyance and pure shame at his crappy ability to tell a lie.

"Well, you've been kinda... Off for the last couple of days. You've got to get it back together!"

"That's nice." Man, was he being frustrating! What's he thinking of? Is he even thinking at all? I was pretty tempted to walk up to him and knock on his skull just to check that it wasn't empty. Rapidly, his eyes flickered in a certain direction, then flickered back so fast that you may even question if his eyes flickered at all and I saw him staring at someone.... Ah! I see! It's obvious what's going on here. Lucy and I went through a stage like this just before we got together!

"Hey, Romeo. I know you're hungry, but, no matter how hungry you are, eating your crush won't fill the empty holes in both your heart and your stomach!" At this, his face turned a colour which rivaled Erza's hair (a/n yes I know everyone ever in the history of the earth says it but who really cares).

"I AM NOT PLANNING ON EATING WENDY!" Silence swept across each person in the room and, yet again, everyone turned their heads to face the little skit that was taking place by the bar.

"Don't you know that it's rude to listen in on others?" A little embarrassed, the guilds silent spell was lifted and the conversations began to bubble yet again, however, many of the members were peaking over their shoulders every now and then out of curiosity. Now, this will be fun. "So.... You like Wendy?"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I want to become a cannibal!"

"Keep it that way."

Lucy's POV

Wendy and I have gone out for a walk. Carla is back at the guild, hopefully distracting Happy. She had seemed rather apposed to the idea, however, she saw that I was desperate and begrudgingly obliged. This way, the nosy little feline, who is notorious for spying from above to find out information on his guild mates to tease them with, especially of its associated with love.

"So, where do you want to go next?" The youthful bluenette pondered my question for a while. Eventually she simply halted her movements altogether and drifted off before snapping back to attention, clearly embarrassed.
