Hello everyone! This is the first time I will make my story without beta, so please bear with me. English is not my first language, but I try my best to write with proper grammar, vocabularies and everything. I appreciate every comment, but please no cursing words!

Originally, I make this for Valentine purpose, but I got so many exams on school (final year shits) so maybe I ended up posting it late!

I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL!

Now, let's go to the story, shall we?


Chapter 1: Natsu

"I don't really get it, dad." Natsu pressed his crossed fingers to the back of his head "Why should I study this about this mate thingy? I want to be stronger, I want training!"

"Trust me when you have grown up, you will understand why. People become strong not only because of training, son. It's also because they have their beloved around them." Igneel patted his son's hair "Promise me one day you will bring this mate of yours to see me one day."

"I promise dad!"

...

After the Grand Magic Battle, Fairy Tail began to get recognition on people's eyes once again. Quest by quest began to come from all cities and island in the kingdom, showering them with big and stable income. With the money prize alone after subtracted with the proper damage caused, they managed to pay their debt and bought the old headquarter they left seven years ago, not to mention fixing all furniture and the building.

As usual battle cry, chatter, and shouts echoed in the headquarters. Some male members were brawling against each other without any care for tables, chairs, or people that stood around them. Cana and Macao together with some other people were drinking from their tankard talking about the quests they had just finished. Nab as usual stood in front of the quest board while Reedus was painting everyone in delight.

Yeah, everything was normal in common. Except for some people.

One of them was Mirajane Strauss, the white-haired ex-S class mage. She was having quite a free time now so she could rest her elbow on the bar table, her hand supporting her chin. The bright blue eyes observed a direction where a pink-haired boy and another white-haired girl were sitting, talking and laughing together

She rolled her eyes at the scene. It made her pissed just by looking at it.

It's not like she didn't like them to be close, but her patience had ran out for the fire dragon slayer. Seriously how come he didn't notice that his nakama didn't show up in the guild even once in three days? Imagine, three days!

How come in Earthland that Natsu Dragneel didn't realize Lucy Heartfilia wasn't here?

"If only you and Erza had let me, I might have punched that dense fire brain." Gray muttered with anger in his tone. He was as fed up as the white-haired mage "Lucy is battling with her life out there yet he doesn't even notice her absence now!"

"I will be very happy to land a kick in the groin." Levy hissed, making Gray, Juvia, Erza, Mira and Gajeel taken back in shock. "Even it's because he wants to catch up with Lisanna, that doesn't mean he can forget Lu-chan! And why didn't he do it since she came back from Edolas?"

"Well in fact, this has been going on since last month. They become closer each day," Erza crossed her hands in front of her chest "Lately he didn't go quest with us anymore, saying he had an appointment to do."

"Come to think of it, since last month my sister frequently went out." Mira's eyes widened upon realization "Could it be.."

"Maybe, bunny girl scent has almost disappeared from Salamander and replaced with other girls' smell." Just with that small confirmation, Gray instantly had a killing aura. Fortunately, the Titania and the water mage held him in right time before he lunged forward.

"Calm down, Gray. We're all mad just like you." the Titania looked at the pair "It's what Lucy wanted, remember? She doesn't want him to know!"

"Juvia understands why Gray-sama is angry." the water mage raised her voice "Juvia ever saw Natsu and Lisanna went on quest together, just two of them."

"WHAT?"

"Juvia just happened to pass there but didn't dare to say anything."

"I wonder what cooks his eyes." Gray snarled to their direction "Can't he see how much Lucy try to hide her sadness?"

"But we can't do anything about it. It's his right to decide with who he wants to talk to." Erza sighed "It's not like we can decide it for him."

The conversation might have gone for very long if it's not for Gajeel's eyes widened in amusement at something he saw. Curious, the others looked at the same direction before their face turned into horror.

A certain blue-haired mage had made her way to the tables, almost reaching the fire dragonslayer. It looks like she walked away silently from them when they were caught in the talk. Gajeel could see her fist clenched in anger and her face emitted a very dark and murderous aura. Hell, she could do some damage when she was mad.

Without any warning, the script mage dealt a rather hard blow on Natsu upon her arrival, causing Natsu to fall from his seat. Everyone gasped in shock and their eyes now gave their full attention to Levy. The pink-haired mage put his hand on his reddening cheek and his eyes were bulged out in disbelief. Lisanna crouched beside the fire dragon slayer, her hands reached out to him in concern.

"Natsu I know I owe you a lot, but this time you are such a jerk!" she took a deep breath, trying to hold herself from sending another punch "Lucy for goodness sake hasn't come to the guild for three days and you don't care at all about it? Don't you care if she feels upset because of you?"

"Lucy.. Is upset? " his face turned into disbelief and confusion. "She hasn't come for three days?

Pissed, Levy yanked his vest and slapped his cheek. Lisanna now stood protectively in front of her childhood friend while he groaned behind the white-haired mage.

"Stop that Levy, what's wrong with you?" Lisanna extended both of her hands in front of the dragon slayer "You never act like this before."

"Move away, Lisanna! I won't hesitate to hurt you if you don't!" Levy yelled back, her tone was definitely threatening and implying she was serious. Gray, Juvia, Erza, Mira and Gajeel rushed there to stop the blue-haired mage but she just snarled at them to back away. Her right hand pointed outwards "I will count until three and if you don't step aside, your fault. Three!"

"Lisanna, step away from this." the girl didn't move at her sister's word. The white-haired mage and the blue-haired mage just exchanged glare, tension was heating between them.

"Two!"

Mira raised an octave "Move it!"

"One!"

Mira pulled her sister's hand and dragged her aside forcefully, leaving nothing to shield Natsu from the script mage's wrath. Natsu shrank in fear, shock and disbelief. Shock with the truth he learned and fear because she never see Levy that enraged. The blue-haired girl was always a sweet and cheerful girl, rarely joined in the guild routine brawl. But now she snapped out, she was as scary as Erza, Mira or Lucy when they were mad.

"I don't care with who you want to hang out or date with, but you can at least stop ignoring Lucy!" Levy glared at the boy in front of her "She has always been by your side and supports you in your fights. Now because Lisanna is back you dump her away?"

"I'm not!"

"Then tell me what you did this few weeks! You both haven't even done a single quest together! Not even with Gray and Erza."

He stiffened in his place, speechless upon the blue-haired mage words.

Now he thought of it, he didn't spend that much time for Lucy. Most of his time was used for talking with his childhood friend, doing various activities with her. He didn't even go on quest with Erza and Gray anymore. In this time, how many times did he.. Wait, when did he last talk to Lucy?

Fuck, he was so screwed.

"Now that you understand my point, you will apologize to her in instant when you meet her!" Levy pointed at him, her gaze was even more threatening and enough to make him yelped back "Understand?"

"Y-Yes!" he stuttered while Levy smirked in satisfaction and took her leave, leaving everyone stood motionless. The group immediately followed her and went outside the guild

Now all members of the guild swore that no one will NEVER EVER dare to mess with Erza, Mira, Lucy, and now Levy. Never.

Reasons? Every of them was just damn scary when they were mad!

,,,,,,

"Are you okay Natsu? Levy was quite unexpected back there."

Natsu sat on a chair at the corner of the guild, pressing a bag of ice to his swollen cheeks. Lisanna watched his expression as he just answered with a slight nod. His eyes looked at the floor emptily and his mind was wandering somewhere else. The script mage words surely brought him some realization of what he had done.

"I'm such a jerk! What have I done?" he crossed his hands on each other "I should have told her everything from the beginning! Now I-!"

"You're not, Natsu. You are not." the white-haired mage placed a finger on his lips, preventing him from finishing his words "She will understand you once you show her why you are doing this with me."

"Lisanna.."

"Now you mustn't back away. We're almost done!" Her eyes gazed pleadingly at him "Please?"

He only nodded meekly at her, but it's more than enough. She smiled.

"I never thought they will catch us like that. Maybe we should keep distance for a while so they won't suspect a thing." she patted his pink locks as he frowned "Well just in guild, okay? In home we don't need to do that."

"All right!" Natsu let out his toothy grin. "Let's go to your house, shall we?"

,,,,,,,

"Levy.." Erza glared at the blue-haired mage who now shrank in fear "What's that for just now?"

After the confrontation, Levy together with the others went to a cafe nearby Caldia Cathedral. People mostly were sitting in the patio, drinking hot chocolate or coffee in their wool coats and gloves together with a knitted beanie on their head. Even their goal to come here was to avoid people's attention when they talked. In fact, going here didn't change the situation at all.

Who won't pay attention if there was a guy who was half-naked in the middle of winter and someone who just nonchalantly threw nails in his mouth? That sure was an interesting bunch for normal people to look at.

"Gray-sama.." Juvia was blushing hard like a cooked crab "Your clothes.."

"Damn!" he cursed upon realizing he only wore his boxers. The ice mage sprinted back to the guild with the water mage following her love "Be right back!"

Everyone gave a sigh, before turning back to the Titania who had a killing look and almost spilled her wrath at Gray if not for him directly running to find his clothes. The scarlet-haired knight leaned her face closer to the script mage, nearly making her yelped in fear.

"Okay, let's continue. Levy? "

"I just can't stand it, Erza. Every time I go to Lucy, she is always sad. She didn't tell her reasons, but I know it's Natsu since whenever she caught a glance of him with Lisanna her expression will changed. Besides, I don't tell anything about where Lucy might have gone to!"

"But I'm glad shrimp breaks the truth to him. I wonder all these time about that flame head and the bunny girl." Gajeel commented dryly "That animal maniac really made me surprised and began to doubt myself."

"Don't call my sister animal maniac because she use Take Over magic!"

"Whatever." Gajeel rolled his eyes. He stared to the horizon, ignoring the Transformation mage and the rest of them. Levy just shook her head. The iron dragon slayer was actually interested in this.

Erza drank her hot chocolate "So when exactly will Lucy be home?"

Levy went in thoughts for a while. "Like.. Two days before the festival? Lu-chan told me she wanted a good rest."

"I hope she is safe, I'm a bit worried." Mira pressed her palm to her cheek "Will she be fine alone?"

"Nothing will happen to her." Gray walked inside the cafe, his words made everyone turned their head to him "Lucy is strong. We must trust her.."
