Never Give Up

INSENSITIVE

"You asked for a kiss? Are you insane?" Levy exclaimed, aghast by her friends boldness.

Monday morning, Lucy was telling Levy and the other girls what happened after they left Max's house.

Lucy grinned then nodded.

Levy shook her head while the others laughed at Lucy.

"Then he gave you a flick instead of a kiss." Bisca said in between laughs.

At this, Lucy frowned then nodded. Everyone laughed hard.

"Don't tell me you were really expecting Gray to kiss you." Lisanna asked.

"Well...at first I thought he wouldn't, but then he started leaning closer to me and I thought 'Oh my god! This is it.' but then he flicked me in the forehead and then dashed towards the gate. I mean who does that?" Lucy ranted.

"Gray does!" Came everyone's response. Then they all laughed.

Lucy rolled her eyes.

When the laughter died down, Erza spoke up.

"I'm just curious...why do you want Gray to kiss you?" Erza asked.

Lucy gave her an incredulous look. "Duh! Because I like him." She said.

"I know you like him. But why would you ask him for a kiss when you pushed him away that early morning when he tried to kiss you?" Erza asked.

"Ooooh! That's a great question." Cana said.

Lucy started fanning her face. She could feel the heat rising up to her face remembering that incident.

"Do tell." Bisca urged.

Lucy bit her bottom lip, still a little flushed. "Well...it's not that I don't want to kiss him...it's just that...he was unconscious at that time, and I don't want to take advantage of him." She went on.

Everyone raised their brows.

"Why are you giving me that look?" Lucy asked.

"Weren't you always stealing kisses from him every chances you get?" Bisca asked. "Doesn't that constitute to as taking advantage?"

"That's different." Lucy said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Evergreen raised her brow. "How so?"

"Because he was always conscious when I tried to kiss him." She said. "And besides...he was dreaming of that bimbo when he tried to kiss me." She added with a frown. "That would be just...wrong and gross." She winced.

At this, everyone nodded.

"By the way, where is my future husband? It's almost time for class." Lucy said while checking the door.

"Were you looking for me, hon?" Loki said, appearing out of nowhere. He sat beside Lucy while peering through his eyeglasses. He winked at her.

Lucy just rolled her eyes. "Nope."

"I thought you were looking for your future hubby? So here I am." Loki said as he leaned closer to her. He was wiggling his eyebrows.

"Drop it, Loki. I'm not interested." Lucy said.

"Oh, come on, Luce! I'm offering myself to you." Loki said. "Come to think of it. If you're with me, you don't have to steal kisses. You'll just have to ask and I'd be more than happy to give it to you." He said while holding her hand.

Lucy pulled away her hand.

"No, thanks. I'll just take my chances with Gray." Lucy said.

"Why? He doesn't even show interest in you?" Loki whined.
