chapter twenty one: Playing with Feelings

Half an hour Earlier

Natsu P.O.V

Lucy and I walked along the corridors after last period. We've been getting surprisingly close and ever since she blinked her chocolate eyes at me, she made my heart beat.

Of course I was dating Lisanna at the time, but I started to lose interest in her. I felt like she was only using me for her status- a cheerleader and a jock. But then again, I'm kind of a player myself, but I'd never hurt Lucy.

Lucy was pretty and she had a fun bouncy personality. I was going to break up with Lisanna eventually, but I guess by cheating on me, it proved her feelings towards me.

Now, as I look at Lucy, I can't help not blushing. I couldn't do it anymore- I had to tell her how I felt.

"Lucy," I started. Lucy looked up at me. My heart drummed in my chest. "I need to tell you something."

"What?" She asked, blinking her eyes at me. I felt my face flushing.

"Lucy I-"

Lucy suddenly froze. "I'm meant to be meeting Levy after school!" She cried. She looked into my eyes in desperation. "Can we carry this conversation some other time?"

And before I could answer, she dashed through the doors.

Lucy P.O.V

My heart thudded as I clasped my books to my chest. Why hadn't I had let Nastu finish his sentence? Why did I have to run away? Why did I panic?

I fastened my steps. I don't like Natsu in that way... do I? No, of course not. He's just a friend. And he doesn't like me either... does he? No, of course not. Im just a friend.

Finally when I rushed out of the school, I saw Levy staring blankly into the space.

"Levy-chan!" I cried.

Her eyes flickered as I ran towards her but then I froze. Two tears rolled down Levy's cheeks. She turbed her head towards me, tears brimming.

"Lucy," she said. "What is love?"

Present time

I stared at her as another tear escaped her eyelids.

"Levy," I muttered. I wrapped my arms around her and embraced her. Slowly, she lifted her hands and returned my embrace. "Love is fragile, its something everyone tries to reach, but at the end, its love that finally reaches you."

Levy sniffed. "Lucy-chan," she said, loosening her arms. "Tell me, Do you like Natsu?"

I felt my blood pound through my veins. I buried ny head deep into her shoulder.

"To be honest," I started. "I don't really know how I feel about Natsu."

I was telling her the truth, wasn't I? I heard a giggle and I suddenly realised it was from Levy. She was laughing as she wiped away her tears.

"Sorry," she giggled. "Its just..." she sighed. "We've never really had time for boys did we? Its funny how we're crying over love, when we used to call it silly before."

I pushed Levy away from me. "Your the one whose crying girl," I said. "Why don't you come over to mine, we can have a girls night?" 

Levy's eyes flickered. "Actually," she said slowly. "I have something to tell you, I think it would be best if you came over to mine."

"It's important," she added.

Gray P.O.V

I grunted as I ambled down the sidewalk, my hands in my pocket.

I heard you and Juvia are an item now. Hows that going?

I kicked the stones underneath my feet. Why did life have to be so complicated?

"Gray-sama?"

I paused in my footsteps. My heart skipped a beat as I lowered my eyes but didnt turn around.

"Juvia..." I muttered.

"Gray-sama..." said Juvia from behind me.

Suddenly I felt a warm embrace around my waist which made my heart melt.
