Lucy's P.O.V

It was a serene night, I, Lucy Heartifilia, sat outside our tent, looking at the stars as they twinkled in the beautiful vast sky. It was past midnight and yet I was wide awake with no signs of sleep taking over soon.

It had been a week since we left for the 100 year quest. The mission was to find a family treasure ( A blue diamond crown ) which was stolen over 200 years ago and was rumored to be hidden safely in a cave in Mount Zonia.

The mission wasn't too hard. We had started our search yesterday and had found the treasure on the same day.

The reason this request was classified as a 100 year quest is because, The forest that we are staying at now, which is the Sempreverde (Evergreen) Forest is the forest where Acnologia lived and because of this, anyone who took the mission was attacked by Acnologia and was never able to complete the mission.

But since Acnologia is no more, This mission was a piece of Cake.

Natsu, Gray and Erza were disappointed that it was not what they were expecting it to be as they were too excited (More than you can imagine) to have loads of action.

We were heading back to the client's house which took us 2 days to journey from here and so we decided to camp in the forest for the night.

Though I wanted to sleep right now, the thoughts of 1 person alone consumed my mind, not allowing me to sleep. Which brings us here, with me staring at the sky filled with stars as thousands of thoughts regarding 1 person filled my mind

I sighed once again before looking up.

I was in love with Natsu. No! I still am but the saddest part was that he was too dense to notice it. Just before this mission, I had poured my heart to him and I was so emotional but all he did was say he didn't care. Though he said 'We will always be together', it still hurt me when Natsu's words echoed in my mind saying 'I don't care'

"That's right Lucy, he doesn't care because your not the one for him" I said slowly as tears formed in my eyes

"He doesn't care because he only see's you as a Nakama and nothing else, He doesn't even see you as a girl maybe" I continued as tears slowly dropped from my eyes

"He doesn't care because he's dense" I said as I looked down and by now tears were freely flowing down my cheeks

"He doesn't care because you're a damsel in distress" I said as I cried harder

"Maybe, Natsu already likes someone? Maybe that's the reason he doesn't care about anyone else" I said as I sobbed slowly as to not wake up the others sleeping around me

Natsu's P.O.V

I was sleeping with Happy cuddled beside me when I heard the sound of the tent zip opening, I looked at the alarm clock beside me to see that it was 12 past 15 minutes

'Who is up so late?' I thought

I got up and went out to see Lucy sitting outside her tent and I was going to ask her what she doing up so late in the night when I smelled the scent of tears and stopped

'Why is she crying?' I thought and looked at her from where she was sitting

"That's right Lucy, he doesn't care because your not the one for him" I heard Luce say and wondered whom she was talking about? Was she in love with someone?
