Wait...You're a Girl?!? [On Hold]

Confrontation

Lucy's POV

__________

"I'm so stupid!," I groaned and grasped my headband in distress.  I shouldn't have run away.  Now it'll be even harder to go back.  I should've just stayed there and faced him...but if I did that...no never mind.  I think I would've ran away in the end.  I could be such a coward.  I run away from my problems.

I sighed and sat right where I was, grasping my hair. Then I flopped down on my back even though I was in the middle of the walkway. As people passed me, they gave me strange looks. Well...at least the guys did. A lot of the girls squealed and stuff. Stupid fan girls. I don't want to deal with them right now.

"AH What should I doooo?!?"

"Well...I think you should start by getting off the ground."

My eyes widened and I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw who was squatting in front of me.

"LOKE?!"

"Yup~ hello, Princess~"

I was too shocked to even correct him. "I didn't even summon you? How are you here!?"

"I'm the most powerful celestial spirit for a reason. I used my own magic power to get here since you seemed so distressed."

"...oh"

"Jeez, don't look too excited to see me."

"Sorry, Sorry. I didn't mean it like that."

"I know," he lowered himself down to the ground and sat next to me. "Tell me what's wrong."

"Natsu found out. But on accident, and I'm afraid to see how he'll react. You know how he gets when people lie to him!"

"You didn't tell the other yet?!"

"No! So many people already know!"

"But they're your friends. You should at least tell those you trust."

I hugged my knees and buried my face into them, "I know! I know! But I've already carried out this lie for so long! And they'd be devastated to realise they were the only ones who didn't know."

"Lucy, I want you to listen to me...," he gently placed his hand on my shoulder and grasped it firmly, turning me to face him, "Did the rest of us get mad at you when we found out?"

I slowly looked away from him and responded with a no.

"Then why," he made me look at him again and placed his forehead on my own, "would you think the others would react differently?"

My face heated up at the close proximity, but looking at him made me realise something.

He was right.

The others weren't mad at me when they found out...actually...they embraced it. They accepted me with no question.

I should show them more trust.

"Loke! You're rig-"

Before I could finish, Loke quickly pressed his lips onto mine. It was sweet and chaste, but it sent a tingling down my spine.
