Happy LoLu Week! I've been waiting for this week to test out both my romance skills and my LoLu romance skills! I just love LoLu! It's my first and favourite Fairy Tail ship! *fangirl squeal*

Anyway, the first prompt for this week is "Sparkle". Not super-long, but I thought the message was clear.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.

She couldn't figure out what it was that made her feel like this about him.

It was probably the glasses he always wore.

They were a bright azure blue that shone, sunlight glaring off the accessory when he fought, occasionally blinding his enemies. He always battled with the speed and grace of a lion, fighting opponents without a hint of fear. He always cared for her safety above everything else, and although he pushed for the "love" between them a little too much, she had learned to accept it as part of his nature.

After all, it wasn't as bad as having Tauros stare at her chest every time she summoned him...

But she could really see the true love in his eyes. He would give her a smile after they won their last fight, and his teeth would show, sharp and cat-like, reminding her of his wild and messy hair that showed his inner lion. But his eyes would shine behind his glasses, and she could see the colour of them clearly, even with the blue tint.

Maybe it was actually his eyes.

They were a beautiful hazel colour that seemed to have a mischievous glint in them whenever he was about to proclaim his love to her. She had noticed their beauty one day, but didn't mention it. But now, almost every time she summoned him, her head automatically turned to look at his eyes behind his glasses. Once, he'd noticed and gave her a sneaky grin, and she'd turned red from embarrassment. Once in a while, she'd spot gold in his eyes, and it reminded her of the glow that came when he used his magic.

Could it be his magic?

His magic was dazzling in every way, the slight golden glow that surrounded him when he used his melee attacks reminded her of the shiny golden colour his key was. His Regulus magic was powerful and impressive, taking out opponents easily. She could still remember the pure energy that radiated from him when he used Lion Brilliance during the Battle of Fairy Tail. It bathed both of them in it's vibrancy.

"Lucy?"

The blond wizard blinked, her name startling her.

"Are you okay? You spaced out."

Her eyes widened in shock. Words failed her.

"Uh, sorry, what?" she managed. Her Spirit smiled.

"I asked you why you were staring at my face. Can you explain?" Loke asked.

She didn't answer. She was caught up in his eyes, which were uncovered. Memories came flooding back.

His glasses had been broken in their most recent fight during the job she was on with Team Natsu right now, and as he sadly picked them up and mentioned having to find his spare pair in the Spirit World and jokingly said something about his messy bathroom counter, he had turned around and looked straight at her, his eyes meeting her own. She had seen them, and her mind froze, unable to register the emotion that went through her.

It was a sudden warmth that flowed through her body, spreading out from her chest and going all the way to her fingertips and toes. She had been flustered, and her face heated up.

It was the sparkle in his eyes. How had she missed it before? His eyes had a sparkle in them that had brought the sudden warmth just now.

It was what she was looking for.

It was the part of him that she loved.

"Hey Lucy, you're still staring at me. Is it because of my astounding good looks and charm?" Loke asked her.

"Yes." she breathed, still taking in the thought that flooded through her. Did she really love her playboy Spirit?

Stumbling forward, she passed him silently as he smirked.

"Well, of course you-"

Then it hit him.

"Wait, what?"

And her Lion looked at her, completely floored.
