In the firelights

Lucy was ready. It was her day to ask the love of her live - the person she fell head over heels for - to ask him out. It was the day she has been waiting for. It was her day and if he ever said "yes", she would be happy forever.

But the person she loves is the most popular boy in Fairy Academy. Every girl asked him out but he always turned them down easily. Lucy knows this very well because she's been hearing the rejections in school. It was scary knowing that you will be rejected from the boy you love so much. The boy who captured your heart and he can never place it back where it was before. It was scary but it also was a very thrilling experince.

Lucy sighed and pushed up her glasses. Biting her lip, the pool of her brown eyes were taking a glimpse of rosy colored hair. Lucy twiddle with her fingers and stared as he howled with laughter, his eyes twinkling in delight.

"You could do this," Lucy mutters, "you could do this. He's only going to reject you, but, you'll be still alive and fill with humor." Lucy practically deflated at the statement she has just proclaimed to herself.

This was absolutely helpless. She was helpless when it comes to love and she bet everyone knows that. After all, who will want a nerd who wore thick glasses and strip pink stockings. Nobody likes her.

Lucy stared squarely at the boy, lips twitched into an adorable smile. It doesn't matter anymore. She wants to tell him even if she gets rejected, she'll always love him. Lucy gripped her English book. Her brown eyes glimmered with a goo of determination.

Legs moving forward stubbornly, her body slowly shaking. Lucy sucked in a breath as she gazed upon onyx eyes. This was her moment.

Lucy ignored the curious glances that were horrifying her. She inhale a breath. She can do this. This is her day. Lucy stared intensely at rosy color hair male. "Natsu Dragneel, will you go out with me?"

Lucy heard the people around her, sucking in a breath of anticipation. Lucy watched as the male in front of her blinks at her. Lucy felt her heart stutter and her hands were sweating. She closed her eyes.

She wanted to leave. She couldn't take the atmosphere anymore. It was just too much for her.

Lucy waited for her rejection. Everyone in the room was waiting for a rejection. But surprisingly, Lucy was met with a smile.

The male took in her fragile small hands and intertwine them with his own. Lucy peeked open an eye. She couldn't believe her eyes. What was happening?

Instead of getting a rejection, she was met with a smile and soften eyes. Finally, the male anwered.

"Yes," Natsu said. "Yes, I'll go out with you."
