~After the mission~

Gray's pov

Ever since Lisanna kissed Natsu, things have been weird amongst the guild. Lisanna had been like glue stuck to Natsu all the time. Natsu finally agreed to date her since Lisanna wouldn't shut up. I hate to admit it but I feel sorry for Natsu cause I know how much Lucy means to him. Honestly, Lucy is like a little sister to me so it is natural for me to love her. " Hey FLAMEBRAIN!" I shouted trying to get him pumped for a fight. "...hn" Natsu is seriously bummed out. Well... That is not going to stop me. I dragged Natsu and called for Erza and Happy to follow me.

Natsu's pov

I know Ice princess is trying to cheer me up but i just lost all will to do anything. If Lucy can see what she does to me she would probably blush and mutter things I'd have trouble to understand. Yeah. I know she likes me. I was just such a wuss. I didn't want things to be weird between us. So i made the stupid decision to ignore it. And look what it got me into... Stupid... BAKA ME! Well snowflake dragged me out and Erza and Happy behind him. "OI! HOTHEAD! Are you going to join me to find Lucy?" now that got my attention. Erza Just nodded and Happy smiled. I looked at him and smirked "you know what I'll say to that right.." That night we let ourselves in to Lucy's apartment and search for clues where she could have been. Suddenly there was a poof behind us. "well look who's here... Tch about time you guys showed up!" Loke! "Loke! Where is Lucy?" "chill out Natsu. She's at the Gradium Kingdom. I think you should hurry there if you wanna be there to stop a certain stellar mage's wedding." WHAT THE HELL! Lucy is getting married well not on my watch! "Erza, Gray you guys ready?" I asked them with a smirk on my face. "I was born ready" Gray "I'm getting my sister back. Better to break an order than to leave a friend." Erza said with determination in her eyes. "well then. Let's go!" We burst out and followed Loke to Gradium Kingdom. Wait for me Lucy.

~while with Lucy~

Lucy's pov

It's been 2 weeks since that incident with Kyu. Kyu has been trying to make it up to me by buying me gifts and taking me for a walk around the palace. I wasn't allowed out by Kyu cause he's afraid that I would run off to meet Natsu. Each day has past like nothing. I wasn't free to roam alone, I wasn't free to leave his sight and my heart wasn't free to choose to marry the person I love. "Luce" huh! Natsu?! "HEY LUCE!" Kyu shook me. "yeah?" I was wondering if you wanted the red roses or the white lillies?" "red roses are fine" wait did i forgot to mention that we're preparing for our wedding? YAAYY! Note the sarcasm. If Natsu were here he would be like 'OF COURSE RED ROSES IT IS LUCY'S FAVOURITE!' hahaha... Natsu... I miss you. But what am I kidding. It has been almost a month since I was gone and they hadn't care to look for me. I need to straighten my priority! I'm getting married to Kyu in 1 more week. Kyu has been sweet but a tad bit to forceful.

Flashback

"Lucy!" Kyu called for me but I was out in the garden while talking to Plue so i didn't hear him. "LUCY!" I was startled to see Kyu running towards me "WHY?! What happen?!" i thought the kingdom was under attacked. "I CALLED FOR YOU AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER! WHAT WERE YOU DOING? IS THERE SOMEONE HERE!" Kyu started to yell at me. "Kyu i was in the garden to catch some fresh air." Kyu looked at me and hugged me tight. "I thought you left me... I won't lt anybody else take you." He grabbed my chin and kissed me. The kiss was rough and hurtful it was far from romantic as if the kiss literally means I'm his and his alone. It was forceful and i pushed Kyu away. "wha-a-Whats wrong Luce?" i didn't say a word. I just sat there with a blank face and stared into his eyes. "Kyu I'm just not feeling well. Please excuse me." Without waiting for his answer I dashed in and went straight to my room and locked the door. I laid on the bed thinking about what would happen if I ended up with Natsu instead of Kyu. *Knock Knock* I got up and opened the door, I thought it would be Kyu but it was the queen, Brenda. "Oh! Hey mom. What are you doing here?" Brenda hold my hand and kissed my forehead. It took me by suprise. "Lucy dear, I know what it's like to be forced into something you don't like. But I want you to know that whatever decision you choose I will be right behind you." Brenda pets my head and comforted me while I cried in her arms. "why are you telling me this? I'm supposed to marry your son." "Dear child, I know how forceful Kyu can be. Besides your mother help me through my marrige too." "My mom?" Brenda smiled and hold me " your mother was the one who stopped me marrying the wrong guy. Because of what she did, I got to marry my husband and the person I truly loved. I want you to think for yourself and NEVER let anyone control you." I was so happy that Brenda didn't forced me into this. "Thank you mom." I hugged her tight and went to bed as soon as she left the door. While trying to sleep I made a decision to wait for Natsu to come. If he doesn't I would marry Kyu willingly.

End of flashback~

Now I just have to wait and see how all this will turn out. "Luce we're done. Come on and let's get ready for dinner." "okay" I went to my room to get ready for dinner.

During dinner~

"Lucy how was the preparation for your wedding going?" Rito asked. "It's going quiet well. Everything has been settled. All that is left is for me to find a wedding gown." "OH OH! We'll go tomorrow Lucy!" Brenda said excitedly. "It would be fun indeed mom." I said with a small smile. "Hahahaha Brenda! Let Lucy pick her own dress ok?" Rito warned Brenda jokingly. Brenda playfully glared at Rito. The rest of the dinnerr went on with little chatter while Kyu keeps quiet and staring at me the whole time. Kyu has been acting so weird since I told him about Natsu and my adventures together. Maybe it was a bad idea to tell Kyu about Natsu. Oh well we beter wait and see.

Ok guys! That is it for now. I'm really sorry for the extremely long wait. You guys have been giving me a confidence boost with all of your reviews. Thank you!

R&R please! I'm open to any suggestion on how the story should go next!
