Falling. (Nalu Fanfic)

The Plan.

Lucy POV:

It's been 2 hours since explaining what happened on the mission.

Me, Natsu, Gajeel, Levy, Erza, Gray, and Mira were still at the guild.

"I hope you'll feel better, Lucy. You must've been badly injured." Mira said, looking down at me.

"Ah, Natsu was there to help me through it, like always." I replied, smiling.

"What's your relationship with Natsu?"

I choked on my saliva.

"W-what?" I asked, recovering from my choking session.

"You heard me. What is it?" Mira said, leaning closer to me. "I'd really like to know."

"A-ah! Just friends! Only friends! Nothing more!" I said, waving both my hands in front of me.

Mira mumbled an "Okay" and walked away, smiling.

I sighed in relief, blushing. "What am I getting myself into?"

Natsu POV:

"Just friends! Only friends! Nothing more!" I heard Lucy say to Mira.

My heart wrenched when I heard this. But why?

"Flame-Brain, what's up with you?" Gray said, his shirt gone.

"Oi. Why do you wanna know, Popcicle?" I huffed.

"Because, Hot-Head, you seem depressed. And I wanna know why."

I growled. "What happens if you like someone?"

"Pffft."

I turned to see Gray all smug leaning in his chair, smirking.

"What was that, Ice Princess?" I growled.

"Took ya long enough. When did you relise you liked Lucy?"

"..What..? Luce?"

"Yup. Do you like her?" Gray replied.

"I.. I don't know. But we're partners." I said, hanging my head low.

"Doesn't matter. Try confessing to her." he said, still smirking.

"But, how would I?" I asked, glancing at Lucy.

"I have a plan."
