CRAM Chapter 16-S & N

{Lucy}

Good to be back home.

*knock knock*

I opened the door only to see Levy-chan in a quite frustrated manner. "Are you okay, Levy-chan?"

"Y-Yeah. I just need someone to talk to." she bowed her head and entered my room.

"Something's up with you. What is it? And anyway, I saw you awhile ago with Gajeel which is very unusual. You were even laughing with him." Levy became flustered. Aw, now I know. "Someone's got a crush in here." I smirked.

"Ah! I admit it! I have a crush on Gajeel!" See what I mean?

"I know and—"

"I'm going in my room."

I chuckled at what she did.

◇◆◇◆

Ahhhhhhh!!!!

I can't get rid of my thoughts about what happened last night! It feels like surreal! Really! But I'm really sleepy...

"Lu-chan time to get out of bed."

"Why?" I groggily rubbed my eyes.

"Because it's Gray's—"

"What about him?"

"Let me finish. We have an engagement party to attend. The Fullbuster-Lockser engagement party."

"Oh yeah, I forgot. But isn't it too early to prepare?"

"What are you saying? It's already 4 PM. You even skipped Breakfast and Lunch because you were asleep." I totally lost my sleepiness. Really? Was I that tired?

Oh yeah, the events that happened last night made me stay up the whole evening.

"Now is not the time to be stunned that you woke up at this time. Get ready or we'll leave you here." she pushed me out of the bed so I fell on my bed—face first—which apparently hurt. T____T Levy-chan is so cruel.

But I still can't get over! Oh Lucy Heartfilia slash blondie what are you thinking?!

◇◆◇◆

"Aside this, you have to wear this." Levy-chan gave me a floral sandal that matched my outfit for tonight's party.

"But Levy-chan I don't want to. I want to wear slippers." I crossed my arms which made her scowl.

"Lu-chan, you baka. You're going to an engagement party wearing slippers? You're making a fool out of yourself."

"Yeah, yeah. Fine."

After our non-sense fight, we fixed our hair, faces and stuffs. Even if I don't want to wear make-up, Levy-chan insisted. The annoying night starts now.

We went downstairs... which was a wrong move for me. I saw beast—err pinky, wearing a tuxedo which made me blush for a split second.

"Yo, Luce." Natsu waved his hand at me. What made me wonder is that he was I think stunned when he saw me. Nah, maybe an imagination.

"Hello, Natsu." Err, my greeting is too formal.

"Now what do we have here? Shrimp is getting pretty and all for someone." I turned around and saw Gajeel trying to make Levy-chan pissed off. And I can see he's doing a good job at it.

"Ugh, you ugly metal-faced brat, stop pissing me off."

Gajeel held her face, "Hey, who is this guy you're trying to impress, huh?" I wanna laugh so hard. Levy-chan's face is so priceless! I can see Gajeel smirking at her cherry red face!

"There's no one! Stop holding my face or else..."

"Or else what?" Nice. Mocking Levy-chan is not a problem for Gajeel. Ah, GaLe couple is arising!

"Ugh. Stop it!" I didn't hold back anymore. I laughed and laughed and laughed hysterically.

"Natsu, let's come out and let this couple have their moment." I said almost out of breath.

"Lu-chan don't you dare." I ignored her and dragged Natsu to our car.

I know it's gonna be the end of me later but I don't care.

◇◆◇◆

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop it!" I can hear Gajeel's scream behind me. I'm sure Lu-chan is punching his face—hard. She's small but strong so I'm afraid about later.

"And that is for calling me shrimp."

Ah, the love birds has their fight still on.

"Welcome, guests." Juvia greeted. Well at least she's not gonna call me her love rival anymore. Good grief.

"Hi, Lucy." And for the very first time she called me by my first name. She even smiled at me.

"Congratulations, Juvia-san." Wendy politedly bowed at Juvia.

"Aw, thank you, Wendy. Come inside. We've prepared everything for guests."

Woah. The Fullbusters and Locksers sure are rich. I mean, everyone wears so beautiful clothes. Thanks to Levy I look great in this party.

"Good evening. Thank you for all coming here." Gray smiled at the audience. "We are here to celebrate the Juvia..."

"and Gray's..." Juvia continued.

"Engagement party! So everyone please enjoy and have the time of your life! Eat as many food as you want!" Gray and Juvia exclaimed. I can see Natsu's eyes glistening in excitement. Still the food lover like me.

Gray and Juvia went off the stage and everyone started standing up to get food.

I was about to go to the CR to wash my hands when I felt an arm pull me.

"Natsu, I'm gonna go to the—"

"Waaah!!! Food! Come! Come! Let's fill our trays with so much food!" I just chuckled at his childish behavior and let him pull me.

We ate and ate and ate and ate until I felt my stomach was full. Ah, that's why I love parties. Parties means buffet.

*burps*

"Excuse me!" Pinky and I said in unison after we burped. Everyone laughed in our table including Wendy, Erza, Romeo, Jellal, Levy, and Gajeel.

"Lucy." I felt a tap on my shoulder. I froze when my brown eyes met blue ones. Sting.

"U-Uhh, hi! What is it?"

"Come with me for a second." He dragged me to the rooftop of the building. Would somebody tell me what's going on?

"What do you want to talk about, huh?" My curiousness is increasing after each second...

"Do you still love me? Do you like Natsu?" I almost choked at my own saliva upon hearing that. What is he...?! Tell me who told him that information! I'm gonna strangle that person until he or she dies!

I gulped as his face got closer. "Tell me, do you still love me?" I went overly speechless.

"Lucy. Answer me." I shrugged and looked away.

"You mean you don't know yourself?" I nodded.

"Then... do you like Natsu?" I stared off into space as he let go of those words. That big question. That really big and meaningful question. After all, the thing that happened last Valentine's....

I felt everything around me felt hot.

"M-Maybe...?" I told him, unsure.

"S or N?" I immediately looked at him. I understood S and N.

I want to answer his question but I don't know how. Who would I choose anyway? I can't have both of them. I'd be a two timer.

Big Question: Do I still love Sting?

Bigger Question: Do I like Natsu?

Biggest Question: Sting or Natsu?

I have to answer the three hardest questions in my life.

"You can't have both. And I can't waste my time waiting for your reply."

I looked down only to feel my palms were sweating.

"Natsu, or me?"

"Look, Sting. I have to ask a question first. Who told you this kind of information? Why are you asking such a thing?"

"I can see and feel it, Lucy. I wanted to let you know that I love Yukino. I can't be with you because I don't love you."

By now, my heart must be STINGing but why don't I feel any pain?

Answer on the big question: No.

"Now Lucy, answer my question. Me, or Natsu?"

I glanced at the starry stars that shined.

"What about me? Why did I hear my name?" I had goosebumps at that instant moment.

"N-Natsu?" My heart beated fast.

Answer on bigger question: Yes. I may love him. I think? But maybe it's just ‘like’ for now.

Answer on biggest question: it's...

"N, Sting." I then ran as fast as I could.
