You know what? Enough of the sappy talk! I wanna talk about life. Why? Cuz I live in America XP. Anyways, I wanna take a moment to talk about my so called, "Love Life..."

It sucks...

~~~

Levy's POV:

"EH?! YOU GUYS ARE DATING?!" Lucy asked Erza in shock. We were walking to the park and decided to rest on the lonely bench. I was reading my book, but Lucy interrupted me...

"Keep it down, Lu-chan! Some people are trying to read their book and need some quiet time!" I scolded. Lucy looked around the perimeter.

"I only see you reading a book Levy-chan," Lucy said. I grew a big, fat tick mark.

"Yeah? Well, this girl wants you to be quiet, ok?" I said angrily. Lucy looked taken back.

"Gomen, Levy-chan. I thought you would be shocked too," she said apologetically. I sighed.

"It's not that I'm not interested. I'm...having one of THOSE days," I explained.

"Oh, that makes a lot of sense," Erza said.

"Was it the date that made you realize your true feelings for Jellal?" Lucy asked as she wiggled her eyebrows. Erza flushed.

"N-No... Well, I guess... It's difficult to explain. I guess you could say that I just gave him a chance," Erza said.

"And why did you decide to give him a chance?" Lucy asked as she continued to wiggle her eyebrows.

"B-Because..."

"You like him~" Lucy finished. Erza blushed madly.

"Well, I hope it doesn't take you a long time to figure out your true feelings for Natsu," Erza retaliated.

"..."

"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to-"

"It's ok. I already have," Lucy answered.

"Huh? What do you mean, Lu-chan?" I asked. She looked up at the sky. The wind was blowing back her beautiful golden hair. A smile could be seen on her cherry red lips. What we least expected was a text message coming from her phone.

"Sorry, guys. I have to go," Lucy said as she placed her phone inside her purse.

"Go? Go where?" Erza asked. However, Lucy already started taking off.

"Don't worry, Erza. I think Lucy has some business she needs to settle with..."

~~~

Natsu's POV:

"She's perfectly fine, but let her rest for one more day. We want to make sure she's in good condition," the doctor instructed.

"Thanks," Mom said. The doctor excused herself and closed the door behind her. It was just Wendy, Mom, Igneel, and me.

"Um, Mommy? Could you and Mr. Igneel leave for a moment? I want to talk to Natsu about something, but it's a secret," Wendy requested. Mom and Igneel exchanged looks, but did as they were told. Now, it was just Wendy and me.

"You totally planned that," I said.

"I dunno. I just want Mom and Dad to make up already," Wendy said.

"Huh? I thought you forgot-"

"That Igneel is my dad? No, I haven't. I'm just not ready to call him my dad in front of him."

"Yeah, me neither..."

"Why did he abandon you?" Wendy asked.

"Isn't it obvious? He hates us. That's why he left," I answered.

"Then, why did he come back? If he really hates us, he would've stayed where he was," Wendy countered.

"Igneel's really hard to understand. First, he does drugs and gambles like the world's ending. Now, he comes back and tells us that he's sorry? I don't believe one bit that he's trying to change," I said.

"Give him a chance, Natsu. Maybe, just maybe, he did change for the better."

I scratched my head. "Yeah...maybe..."

"H-Have you told her yet?" Wendy asked, nervously. I gave her a confused look.

"Told who what?"

"Did you tell Lucy-san about your secret?"

"Why?"

"You promised her. Remember? You're not the type of person to break a promise. Especially your own promise," Wendy said.

"Wait, when did I tell you this?" I asked. She made a sheepish smile.

"Please don't be mad, but I may have overheard your conversation with Lucy-san. I saw you giving a present to her and-"

"You were eavesdropping?!"

"Sorry, Natsu. I heard you guys talking about a secret. I didn't know what the secret was until now," Wendy said truthfully. I ran a hand through my hair and let out a heavy sigh.

"Did you see anything else?" She blushed at my question.

"Y-You k-kissing her o-on the cheek," Wendy said, stuttering unintentionally.

"Shouldn't have asked."

"Natsu, what's stopping you from telling her about your secret?" She asked.

"I don't know..."

Wendy crossed her arms. "Natsu, you have to give me a better explanation than that."

"I just don't want to screw everything up. She may think differently about me if I told her," I answered.

"Why would she think that? You're like her best friend. Besides, she trusts you from the bottom of her heart. Didn't you hear her say that?"

"It's not about trust, Wendy."

"You're wrong. When you said that you'll one day tell her about the promise, she trusted you. No, she still trusts you. The only problem is you keep pushing her away, but she's still waiting patiently for you. Why are you so blind as to see that?" Wendy retorted. I remained speechless. I knew my sister was right, but I would never expected that kind of answer to come out of her mouth.

"I was going to tell her, but when I got to know more about Luce, I-"

"You fell for her," Wendy finished.

"I just don't want her to look at me differently when I tell her. I don't want our friendship to break."

"She deserves the truth, Natsu. You can't keep her waiting, because someone might steal her away from you."

"Thanks, sis. I really mean it," I said, pinching her cheeks lightly.

"Idiot, that's what siblings are for. We help each other when we are in need and we care for one another through thick or thin," Wendy said, as she casted a small grin.

I ruffled her dark, blue hair. "You really are something special."

"Uh, yeah... I may or may not have texted Lucy to come here, so that you could be able to tell her your past secret..." Wendy said, playing with her small fingers.

"You're so lucky that you're in the hospital right now."

"Hey! I know you're going to thank me later."

"Maybe, but-"

"Wendy, are you ok?!" Lucy exclaimed, as she opened the door abruptly.

"Lucy!" Wendy exclaimed. "Natsu was being mean to me and teasing me when my mommy wasn't around. I was so sad I didn't know what to do," Wendy said, as she made her puppy dog face.

I held my hands up in defense. "I'm innocent!"

"That's what they all say," Lucy said, as she grabbed me by the collar and hoisted me up against the wall.

"H-Hang on a second! I knew you were strong, but not this strong!"

"Meh, you can learn a lot of things from Erza."

"Can you guys give me some quiet time? I think I'm going to hit the bed sooner than I expected," Wendy said, as she faked a yawn.

"Of course. Come on, Natsu. Let's give your sister some sleep," Lucy said, as she now dragged me out of the room.

"Good night!"

~~~

Lucy's POV:

"Seriously? You should be nicer to your sister," I lectured Natsu.

"Trust me, I wasn't doing anything to her. She was lying to you," he remarked.

"Why would she lie to me?"

"That... I can't explain," he said with a glum expression.

"Why not?" I asked in a concern manner.

"I just... don't want to."

"Oh... Well, you don't have to tell me if you want to. Maybe you can tell me later if you feel more comfortable," I suggested. He gave me a complexed expression.

"You'll... wait for me to tell you?"

I gave him a sincere smile. "Well, knowing Wendy, I'm sure she has something up her sleeves."

"I don't understand."

"Understand what?" I asked. He gave me a small smile and embraced me in a hug. I was a bit surprised.

"Why are you waiting?" He whispered ever so slightly.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

He hugged me even tighter. "Whenever I tell you something, you always wanted to know the reasoning behind it. Every time you try to ask me for it, I didn't want to give it to you, but you decided to wait patiently for me to tell you instead of begging me for it. I don't get it. Aren't you suppose to be mad at me?"

I hugged him back. "I know you're not the type of person to break a promise. That's why I trust you so much. Even if you never tell me, I know you have a reason why."

"I still don't understand why, though," Natsu said, as he broke the hug.

"Well, there's a lot of things we don't understand."

"Wow, didn't think it was going to be that hard to answer my question," Natsu said, as he ruffled my hair.

I pouted. "Why do you keep doing that? Do you like my hair that much?"

He shook his head and leaned forward to meet my ears and said the words I'd never hear him say.

"It's not your hair that I really like. It's everything about you that I really love..."
