First or Last Kiss?

~6~

Sherria, Wendy, Lucy and Natsu were sitting in one of the booths inside a peaceful café. Natsu's plate was filled with mountains of food and was eating away like it would be his last meal.
Lucy on the other hand hadn't even touched her food, she was sneaking glances at Wendy and Sherria, who were talking quietly while enjoying their breakfast.

"Hey, um, Sherria?" Wendy said after she took a sip of her apple juice.
"Yeah?" Sherria answered while slurping away at a vanilla milkshake. The blue-haired Dragon Slayer giggled.
"How's your team?" She asked to start another conversation. Sherria looked at Wendy and shrugged.
"They're fine I suppose, but my Master keeps muttering things about spinning. And I just don't understand!" she sighed for dramatic effect.
"Lyon is constantly telling us how he'll win the Games to make Juvia love him, but... yeah..." Sherria paused.
"uh, I mean... he can just about get anyone he wants!" She looked down blushing and Wendy frowned.
"Like, there might be people who will actually return his feelings... Ya know? Ha.. hahaha" Sherria said awkwardly and proceeded slurping her milkshake with a faint blush on her cheeks.

Lucy listened to the conversation carefully while shovelling bits of food into her mouth as Natsu kept whining about wanting her food, because it looked tastier.
Suddenly she froze, fork halfway to her mouth and eyes wide.
What?! No!
Lucy snapped her head up and saw Sherria blushing. So she does have a thing for Lyon... Ah shit, how am I gonna get her together with Wendy?!
She laid her fork down and began sipping her strawberry milkshake thoughtfully, when she heard the little bell at the entrance of the café tinkle.
She turned around to see who was entering, more out of habit than actual interest, but she almost dropped her drink when she saw who was standing in the doorway.
He was scanning the people in the café and his eyes landed on Lucy's carefully, before he strolled over to a booth on the other side of the Fairy Tail mages.
Lucy was left looking straight at him if she averted her gaze past Natsu.
"What's he doing here..." Lucy mused silently and took another bite of her sandwich. She concentrated on the two girls sitting next to her again.

"Y-yeah.. I suppose!" Wendy felt all her hopes crushed as Sherria, sort of actually told her that she liked Lyon. Wendy couldn't believe it. First of all, Lyon was much older than Sherria and second, he had his eyes on Juvia, anyway. So why would Sherria even bother? Couldn't she see past the rosy views of her Seventh Heaven and realise that Lyon wouldnever return her feelings?
Wendy peeked at Lucy from over the rim of her glass and was surprised that the Celestial mage wasn't watching them intently or even pretending to not be watching. She frowned and followed Lucy's line of sight, slowly turning her head to look over her shoulder.
A surprised gasp escaped Wendy's lips as she saw at who Lucy was looking. But the person was too busy eating to even notice Wendy staring at him.
Blonde, broad shoulders, scar over his right brow... Wendy was thinking hard at who he might be, although he seemed familiar, something was off. She'd sensed the same kind of air before but she wasn't able to place it now, her nose wasn't as polished as Natsu's.
Talking about Natsu, Wendy glanced at him and mentally rolled her eyes. Of course he hadn't noticed, he was too busy eating like a starving horse.

Wendy turned back around and heard a bell tinkle, indicating another customer. She looked up to glance at the next costumer and was surprised to see a dark haired mage standing in the entrance. Definitely a Dragon Slayer, like the blonde one. Wendy thought as the person passed their booth and slid into the one next to theirs.
"Oi, Sting, did you order anything for me?" she heard a gruff voice say. She scrunched her brows, Sting?! That blonde haired Dragon Slayer was the Sting Eucliffe? But why would Lucy stare at him like she knew him? Or maybe it was more because of his looks... Wendy didn't understand and shrugged it off. She continued eating her breakfast peacefully while Lucy kept staring at the two boys behind her.
