Lucy

Today was the worst holiday ever, Valentines Day. That is if your single trying to walk down the hallways while fighting to make sure you don't get tangle into a couple making out!

Honestly who makes out in public?

The scent of cologne and perfume was overpowering, the color pink and red was all over the school, it was a horrific sight that made me think I was in a girly funhouse. I admit, I do like the color pink, but not when it's splattered all over the walls seeking attention. I prefer it to be a background of a sun setting through hills ready to snooze asleep.

Yes, my best subject is literature.

The guys in this school were basically wannabe's that drooled over a girl that had the biggest ass or biggest boobs, which thankfully I cover my breasts to avoid that situation. What I don't understand is why girls like that dumb stuff? Here is what will happen: guy is gonna show her off to his friends, never tries to keep it in his pants, and finally breaks up to find another dumb bimbo. I don't pity the girls though, they're to dumb to actually realize it before it's too late.

God Valentines Day is the worst.

Well, there is actually one good thing about it. Okay, I know I was blabbing about how the guys here are pretty much assholes, well all except one. And my God if he asked me to be his Valentine then this would be worst holiday, to the best one yet. I've had a crush on this guy since Second year in high school, now it's my Fourth and final chance to build up the courage to talk to him.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I've never talk to the guy. Or actually made actual eye contact with him...

I know, depressing isn't it?

Well ladies and gents, I have made an amazing plan to finally talk to him once and for all! I'm...going to give him a letter and run away from how much of a coward I am! I know, brilliant aren't I?

I stopped in the hallways excited while I held a white envelope that had a sticky heart to keep it from opening. And on the black side of the envelope was his name...

Natsu Dragneel.

Natsu

"I hate...this holiday." I moaned on the table, hitting my head because of seeing dumbass Gray french kissing Juvia in the corner of the room. You'd really think couples would prefer to do it in a more private area...apparently not.

Erza skipped with a cheerful look on her face, eyes bright as if she won a lottery ticket. "Why is the, Erza Scarlet, happy on this PDA day?" I mumbled only poking my eyes out of my arms. "Because I talked to Jellal again." Oh yeah, her boyfriend that's overseas. "How can you even do a long distance relationship? It sounds really stupid if you ask me." Erza was back to her straight face. "It's because we actually trust and love each other. Unlike you Mr. Gonna-Die-Alone."

"Heh, all the girls here are not my type. They want to only unzip my pants." Erza grinned. "All except one." She replied, turning back to her desk. I scrunched my face, knowing what Erza was talking about. My secret crush...

Lucy Heartfilia.

Lucy was entirely different from any other girl at school. First of all she never showed off her body, she actually looks like she hides it. Secondly, I love the way she speaks big words when being called on the teacher; it's even funnier when the teacher doesn't know what the hell she's talking about because of how advanced her literature is. Thirdly, Lucy is beyond the word timid. She's like a turtle that has ten shells over it. And I, find that adorable.

I sighed, pulling my messenger bag up my desk, pulling out a red envelope that was over three years old. When high school started, I was going to ask Lucy to be my Valentine. But, I didn't have the guts cause I was a loser back then. Hell I'm still a loser now! But a loser with a rip body and had an IQ level of...something really smart!

Okay, you got me. I do have difficulty in my classes, but I get through it because I actually study. Yes, I study because I'm a loser with no life! I debated on either actually giving Lucy the letter this time or just throw it away. I bet she won't be able to read my handwriting if I showed this to her! I thought about making a new one, but I actually put in a lot of feeling in this letter when I was a first year in high school.

...

Oh what's the point? Lucy hasn't even talked the last four years I've first seen her, let alone she doesn't even look at me. I shook my head, deciding I'm just going to throw the letter away for good. Besides English was never my best subject.

"What's with you pink idiot?" Gray was leaning over my shoulder looking at the old letter. I  felt my cheeks glowing red when I hid the envelope away from Gray. "N-nothing! Why are you even in my personal space you dumbass?!" I pushed him away by smacking his face with my fist. Juvia jumped where Gray landed. "Gray-sama, my Love!" I let out a long sigh, turning back around to throw away my letter that is overdue.

"Oh...oh shit."

Where's my letter? Where the hell is my letter!?

Erza

Mira and I finally did it...

We got the key to finally get Natsu and Lucy together...

We snuck around the empty hallways to make sure that the teachers will not find us. Mira figured out Natsu's crush when he saw him writing. Natsu, writing? If he writes then it's definitely important. When she told me I knew we had to get these two together before all of us graduate! Though, I don't know about Lucy's feelings towards Natsu. Lucy has always been the quiet one at school. Never goes to any event, any games, or parties.

Rumor has it that Lucy actually lives alone because her parents kicked her out. Wouldn't know why, she seems like a good person.

"There's her locker Red!" Mira whispered pointing at the lonely locker in the corner. I sneakily made my way to it, sliding the letter inside without suspicion whatsoever. I rubbed my hands together finally knowing our plan is set.

Mira and I giggled evilly. "Now all we do is wait..." Then a thought hit me. "Mira, how are we going to sneak back in class?"

Mira turned white, realizing we're screwed.

Lucy

Two more class periods and school will finally be over with. I can go home and snuggle in my bed while watching anime. My favorite so far being 'Black Butler'. I smiled thinking about Sebastian being his butler self right now. He is one hell of a butler.

I made it to my locker undoing the lock while avoiding couples walking down the hallways. I eventually get my locker to open, most of it being empty since I carry most of my supplies. I noticed, a letter on top of one of my composition books. 'What's this?' The letter looked really old and bruised up. I picked it up suddenly very confused. I never get anything from Valentine's Day. It's not like I want anything on this dreadful holiday, I'm just surprised someone actually knew I existed in this school.

'It's probably worthless to read anyway. Maybe just another moron that'll pay me to do their English homework.' I tested the envelope up unfolding a letter with the handwriting of a elementary student.

Hi Lucy!

Okay I hope you don't find it weird that I know your name. We have the same third period with Mr. Reeds! I know it's only been a couple months since you moved, but you're really pretty.

Not just pretty but also smart as well! I hope you can see now that I am not a good writer. We have never actually talked, or even decided to actually meet each other. But, I really like you Lucy.

Like, like like you.

It's very dumb I know and I'm 99.99 percent positive you don't feel the same way.

However, if you DO like me,

Do you want to be my Valentine?

Please meet me at the end of the day at the front of the school.

                    -Natsu Dragneel

...Was it...was that my Natsu Dragneel? Or is there a second one that I never knew about? Natsu wants to see me? Me!?  Dammit the one time I choose to not make my hair!

He wants to see me after school while I'm wearing this grey jacket?! THE ONE TIME I SWEAR TO NOT ACTUALLY DRESS PROPERLY FOR THIS!

Calm down Lucy, remember what your parents taught you: love doesn't come up to you and gives you a handshake, it slaps your face unexpectedly while kicking you in the guts.

Hm, my parents...I miss them so much.

What am I doing I have to freaking finish school! I closed my locker quickly grabbing my books, even though I went to my locker to put them up, blushing furiously about my letter. Is it really my Natsu? The one I fell for in Second year?

This day, may be the best Valentine's Day yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natsu

"You didn't..." Erza nodded showing me a thumbs up. Mira had stars in her eyes because of what they did. "No need to thank us of course. Though we would appreciate it."

"Are you kidding me?! You stole my letter and gave it to the girl that won't even look me in the eyes!" If this was an anime, I would be steaming from anger.

I'm doomed! My one chance gone because the two love cupids had to do something to SCREW THIS UP! I hit my head against my desk, wishing I was dead. Erza huffed from my attitude. "It's not that bad Natsu! Besides it's obvious she likes you also."

"YOU HAVE NEVER TALKED TO HER EITHER ERZA!!" I screamed right in her face knowing I was making a scene in the class. Thank god it was free period, the last class before school is out. Erza looked like she was containing herself to strangle me. "It's too late to go back now Natsu. You will meet her after school and confess your damn feelings! You only have two months left before we graduate!" I grabbed my muffler, hiding half my face in it. "What if she doesn't like me?"

"Then she doesn't! There are more fishes in the sea!" Thank god we don't have Mr. Happy this period. He would continue talking about stupid fishes again. I sighed. "How much time do I have left?" Mira glanced at the clock on the wall. "Two minutes!"

God, you must really hate me right now...

Lucy

The bell rang. Guys fought to rush out, girls strutted their way to the exit, and I am pathetic.

I was hiding behind a column taking small peeks to find Natsu. I looked back at the letter for the seventh time to make sure I was in the right place. Yep, front of the school. I peeked again, no sign of anyone yet. Was there a specific time I needed to be here? Did I misread the letter!?

Small minutes turned into long minutes, to an hour, now two hours.

I should've known... I stepped out still not seeing Natsu Dragneel anywhere. I took another glance at the letter one last time. End of the day, front of school.

What a sick joke...

I crumbled the letter throwing it down to the concrete floor. I didn't fight against the tears, they were the only company I had left. "I can't believe I fell for this."

What in my right mind did I think this letter was from Natsu? Not am I an idiot, but I'm a lonely, dumb, stupid idiot! I reached the gate about to turn to leave.

"Wait!" Now what? I clenched my fists ready to knock some sense into this asshole. "Look if you think this is funny then you are really-" I turned back around, facing... Natsu Dragneel. He was holding the letter I crumbled, his cheeks flushed with red, also breathing heavily. Oh god, I was about to punch his face! He grinned. "Sorry. I couldn't remember where I had to meet you! I started at the library and worked my way around. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

He came. He actually came...

"I see you were about to hit me." My fist was still up to his face. I looked at my fist, then pulled it back. "I'm so sorry! I thought this was a prank on me for the fun of it!" Natsu scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that. This is a great start isn't it?" He asked, no longer the sweaty mess he was a second ago. I giggled at him. "No, this is a nice start! We actually talked to each other."

"So you noticed?" He asked looking away. "Yeah, I've never been one to talk because my spirit animal is pretty much a turtle." He smiled at me when I thought of something. "Hey, how did you forget to meet here?"

"Oh. I uhh...made that letter a long time ago. It was First year when you moved here." He noticed me for that long? "Anyway, I know you already read my poorly written letter." I nodded to answer him. "And, it's cool if you don't like me the same way. If anything, I want us to be friends." I stared to shake. I could finally tell him I feel about him; because I know how he feels, and maybe... we could be something? "Uhh, Lucy?"

"I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU TOO!" I shouted turning maroon. I pulled my letter out of my jacket pushing it against his chest.

My gawd he was buff!

"Sorry." I whispered embarrassed how I screamed at him. Natsu showed a warm smile, looking at the letter before opening it. He pulled the three paged letter, standing there with a face I couldn't read. What was he thinking? It felt like I was standing there for hours just watching him read my emotional letter about him. I started to have regrets.

In a flash, arms hooked around my waist pulling me into their arms. Natsu rested his head on my shoulder holding me as if I was about to shatter. I became stiff from the surprise hug. "Do you think, we're moving this to fast?" He questioned in my ear. His warmth was welcoming and fiery against my skin. "I don't think so..." I replied wrapping my arms around his neck.

"IT ISN'T IF YOU'RE IN LOOOOVE~!!" A very familiar professor shouted in the distance. Natsu had a tick mark on his head. "Get lost Mr. Happy!" I turned into a tomato red while I hid my face in Natsu's shoulder. Natsu let out a warm laugh that rumbled in his chest. "Lucy?"

"Yes?" Natsu pulled my face out, leaning his head against mine. "Will you be my Valentine?" I gazed into his loving eyes; my heart beating faster then it has since I moved here.

"Yes."
