3rd Person's POV

Lucy sighed. It was another slow day at the Hearts and Flowers Floral Shop. Her family owned the business and she worked there as an employee.

"Hey Lu!" a girl's voice trilled as the door opened and the bell rang.

Lucy perked up.

"Hey Levy!" she replied cheerfully.

A petite blue haired girl entered the shop. Her hair was pushed back with an orange headband and she wore an orange and white dress. A plastic bag hung on her arm.

"Sorry I'm late," she apologized. "I saw the latest Rave Master manga volume and I just had to stop and buy it!" she then squealed.

The blonde haired girl's eyes started to sparkle.

"Seriously?!" she squealed. "Lemme see!"

Levy grinned and handed her friend the bag. Lucy eagerly pulled the manga volume out of the bag and her eyes glowed with excitement.

"OMG! Levy, let me borrow it! Please?" she wheedled, hugging the volume to her busty chest.

The bluenette glared at her friend.

"I haven't even got to read it yet!" she complained. "But, you can borrow it after I finish it!" she winked.

Lucy fist pumped. "YES!"

Levy took the book back and tucked it into her bag.

"So, any customers?" she asked, coming behind the counter and tugging on her employee vest.

Lucy shook her head.

"No. Slow business today."

Levy sighed, then perked up.

"So, wanna read Rave Master with me?"

"Yeah!"

"OMG! That was amazing!" Lucy sighed wistfully. "Haru is so…so…"

"Amazing," Levy breathed happily.

"And Plue is awesome!" the blonde then squealed.

"I know right!"

The two girls continued fangirling over the manga, until the bell tinkled.

"Someone's here!" they both gasped.

The door swung open and a pink haired boy walked in, looking awkward. Levy suddenly smirked.

"I think I'll let you take this one Lu. I'll be in the back if you need me!" she said cheerfully, disappearing into the back.

"Wait! Levy!" Lucy called as the boy awkwardly made his way over to the counter.

He looks familiar, Lucy mused. Where have I seen that pink hair?

"Uh…hi. I'm here for an order of white roses for Jellal Fernandes?"

He said it like a question. He looked up and his eyes widened. Lucy's did too.

"Natsu?" she gaped in surprise.

"Lucy?" he spluttered. "What—?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" they both screamed in unison.

From the back, Lucy heard Levy giggling. She made a mental note to kill her best friend later.

"I work here!" she snapped.

"I'm here for an order — Wait, you work here?" he questioned.

"Well, yeah. This is my family's shop," Lucy replied.

Natsu Dragneel. He attended Lucy and Levy's high school, Fiore High. He had spiky salmon pink hair, slitted black eyes, sharp canines, and a mischievous grin. He was a pyromaniac and had set the school on fire more than once.

And Levy seemed to think she had a crush on the guy. Lucy found him to be sorta cute…and they were really good friends…and he was her first friend at the school…well, maybe Levy was right on that one.

"Oh," he said dumbly.

Lucy snapped back to her business state.

"Okay, what are you here for again?" she asked, trying to be calm. "An order of white roses for Jellal Fernandes?"

"Yup!"

Lucy nodded and yelled to Levy, "Get Jellal's order of white roses!"

"On it!"

She turned back to Natsu.

"So, he trusted you to run errands then?" Lucy said, almost suspiciously.

Natsu knitted his eyebrows.

"Yeah. Why?"

She shrugged noncommittally.

"I don't know. I wouldn't trust you to go get plants for one. You're gonna set it on fire," she deadpanned sarcastically.

"Hey!" he protested. "I would not!"

"Would too!"

"Would not!"

"Would too!"

"That's just your overactive imagination at work. I mean, why would I set fire to a buncha flowers? You're such a weirdo Lucy," he sighed.

Lucy's face flamed red.

"Says you!" she snapped back.

"Yeah! Says me!"

"You're the weird one here!" Lucy protested.

Natsu snorted. "You're the weirdest of the weirdest Luigi."

"MY NAME IS NOT LUIGI!" she shrieked.

Ending their pointless conversation, Lucy turned her back on Natsu and called to the back, "Levy! Flowers!"

"Getting them!" Levy singsonged from the back.

The blonde growled, knowing Levy was purposely taking her time. She really hated Levy right now.

"Hey Luigi?" Natsu asked from behind her.

"It's Lucy, Natsu. You've been in school with me for two years," she grumbled.

The pinkette shrugged it off, then continued, "Can I get a bouquet of pink roses?"

She blinked, not expecting his words.

"Huh?"

Natsu rolled his eyes as he ran a hand through his spiky hair.

"I said, can I order a bouquet of pink roses?"

"U-uh, yeah. Sure. How many?" she stuttered.

"5."

Lucy nodded. "That'll be $8."

Natsu rummaged through his pockets until he pulled out a burnt wallet. He rummaged through it until her pulled out a singed and crumpled ten dollar bill. Lucy took it wordlessly and handed him the change.

"Levy! A bouquet of 5 pink roses!" Lucy called back as Levy came out, holding a bundle of white roses.

"I'm right here," she grumbled. "And who ordered?"

"Natsu."

Levy blinked, obviously surprised by her friend's answer.

"Excuse me?"

"I ordered it," Natsu volunteered.

"Ooh-kay then…" Levy drifted off as she went into the back to grab the flowers.

"So, who's the flowers for?" Lucy asked as she handed Natsu the white roses.

Natsu's face turned slightly pink. He then regained his composure and said with a grin, "It's a secret!"

Was he…blushing?! Lucy thought to herself. She felt a blush creeping up her neck. Lucy hit her temples. Stop it, it's not for you, she thought.

"Y'know, if you keep hitting your head, you're gonna become dumber, Luce," Natsu commented, half thoughtful.

"Hey!"

Lucy reached over the counter and smacked him.

"Oww!" he yelped. "What the hell?"

"Don't say that!" she chided.

Natsu grumbled something unintelligible and pulled out his phone. He began to tap something onto his phone.

Just then, Levy bustled into the room, carrying a bouquet of five pink roses.

"Here you go Natsu!" she trilled, taking over for Lucy.

She handed him the roses and Natsu smiled angelically at Levy.

"Thanks Lev. Can you give us a moment?" he asked.

Levy grinned back and said, "Sure."

Levy disappeared into the back room again and Natsu thrust the bouquet at her. His pink hair covered his expression.

"Here. Take it."

"Wh-what?" she gasped, her cheeks coloring pink.

"Take it Lucy. I bought them for you," he deadpanned. "You weirdo."

Lucy hesitantly reached her hand out and took the bouquet. She slowly let a soft smile spread across her face. She inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers and sighed blissfully. Thank you Natsu. When Lucy looked at the flowers again, there was a piece of paper tucked into the leaves. She tilted her head, confused, and pulled out the piece of paper.

Hey Weirdo!

She snorted at his greeting.

Hope you like the flowers. I used my own damn food money to buy you these roses. And yes, I only had $8. Don't judge. Look, I bought you these roses because I may or may not like you.

And hipotheticaly (did I spell that right?), if you like a girl, then you would get her a gift. And hipotheticaly, if that girl hated that you broke into her house and if she wouldn't tell you her favorite things, then you would totally have to guess on everything. And what if, you told her best friend about how you felt about said girl and she helped you set everything up?

Yeah…that's how it happened. I told Levy and she's been helping me out. Great friend you got there. So, yeah. I like you and stuff. See ya at school!

~ Natsu

Lucy smiled at the note. It was just so Natsu. She glanced up to tell him thanks, but he was gone. Her eyes widened.

"W-where'd he go?" she yelped.

Levy poked her head out from the back.

"It's Natsu, Luce. He took off. I would go after him if I were you. I reckon he would be on…oh, maybe Central Path? Heading for Lake Scilliora. And he's passing by Kardia Cathedral right about now."

Lucy gawked at her blue haired friend.

"I would go after him, if I were you," Levy added with a wink.

"I will…deal with you later. I have someone to catch," Lucy muttered.

And she ran out the door.

Hmm…was that fluff? I hope it was. And I hope you all enjoyed it! Until next time, SoulHorse, over and out.
