FIRST-PERSON POV*

"I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY! "
I hated the roses, the candy, the lovey-dovey bullshit. I swear I'm not always like this; I'm normally a happy person any other day; blame it on my cheating ex-boyfriend. For a few years, I have been single, my only companions being my guildmates. Not that I wasn't interested in anyone, I didn't want to waste my time getting my heart broken AGAIN. 

I was hoping to stay locked in my apartment, but I promised Cana that I'd have a few shots with her at the guild. Why did I have to be so friendly? I threw my blanket off, knocking my purple exceed, Adora, to the floor. "Sorry, Adora," I say, picking her up and kissing the top of her head. "No worries, Y/N, I know Valentine's Day isn't your favorite...though I think today will be a good day," she replies, smoothing her fur. I huff and dragged myself to the bathroom, showered, brush my teeth, and wrapped myself in my favorite fluffy F/C towel. Considering the cool weather, I decided on a pair of denim jeans, my F/C crop top sweater, and matching studded booties. Walking into the kitchen, I grabbed my messenger bag from the counter and draped it across my body. 

Turning toward the door, I caught a glimpse of the bottle of vodka sitting on the bar. "Just one shot, Y/N, just to ease your mind," I said internally while grabbing the bottle. I flicked the top off and turned the bottle up, the liquid warming my chest. Sighing, I placed the bottle down, calling over my shoulder for Adora, and walked out the door. 

As we got closer to the guild, I was most definitely regretting leaving my apartment. Everywhere I turned, I saw couples hugged up, kissing and holding hands, bouquets of various flowers, cards, and chocolates. "Damn you, Cana..." I mumbled, shuddering as we continued toward the guild. 

~10 Minutes Later...~
"Mavis, help me," sighing as I pushed the doors open. Glancing around the room, I rolled my eyes at the lovebirds; Juvia and Gray were playing tonsil hockey. Lucy and Natsu were exchanging gifts. Even little Wendy was blushing as Romeo handed her a giant teddy bear. Looking toward the bar, I noticed Cana was missing from her usual spot. She was probably still in bed, resting up for the long day of drinking she had planned. Truthfully, I was a little happy about her absence; that "shot" of vodka was still burning my chest. 

Turning my head, I caught of glimpse of the blond dragon slayer. He was sitting alone, eyes closed with his feet comfortably propped up on the table. Gods, he was gorgeous! I'll admit it; I've had a major crush on Laxus Dreyar since I joined the guild about 5 years ago. He caught my attention when Makarov shared that we had similar Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. I've been head over heels ever since. I loved the way he walked with so much pride, his cocky smile...just made me melt, and the way he ran his fingers through his hair when he was frustrated or nervous. I've had dreams of feeling his lips against mine as I run my fingers through his hair. 

Chewing my bottom lip, I mentally kick myself. Laxus is not interested in you, Y/N. You're not even his type. I sigh. A girl can dream, though, right? I walk over to a corner table and quietly slide into the booth. Reaching into my bag, I pulled out my sketchbook and pencils. Out of habit, I tap the end of my nose with my pencil, hoping for some sort of inspiration. Peeking over at my crush, I smile before sketching my new piece of artwork.
