The Ultimate Players [NaLu Fanfiction]

Chapter 17

"Lucy-san why did you take Juvia here?" Juvia asked nervous. Lucy brought her to the roof top

"I need your help Juvia." Lucy said

"What do you need Juvia's help for?" Juvia asked

"Juvia I need you to break Gray Fullbuster!" Lucy said straightforward

"What???!!!!!" Juvia yelled in surprise

"I know you can do this Juvia. I don't have anyone I can ask this favor because Cana has a boyfriend, Erza like Jellal, plus the other guys won't probably accept my offer. So please Juvia I know you are the only one who can do this." Lucy pleaded

"But Juvia is scared and Juvia don't know what to do." Juvia said

"I will give you anything you want just accept it please Juvia, for me..." Lucy said and does a puppy eyes on Juvia. Juvia just stares nervously at Lucy's eyes and give up.

"Okay Juvia accept it!" Juvia said in defeat

"Yatta!!!" Lucy yelled in joy

"B-But Juvia might mess it up!"

"No Juvia. I know you are capable of doing this. Listen closely. You are going to start your job next month that will be two weeks from now. We can't do it right now because Gray might suspect me. You just need to get closer to him and make him fall for you. Just one thing you are restricted to do." Lucy said with her index finger raised on Juvia's face

"Wh-what is it?"

"You are not allowed to fall in love with Gray, because if you do you will lose the game and you are the one that will experience pain and be broken. DO you understand Juvia?"

"That's a risky situation but Juvia will do her best for you Lucy-san. Make this as a part payment of my debt of gratitude to you." Juvia said

"Oh thank you Juvia. Thank you for accepting."

"uh Lucy-san...Can Juvia ask why are you doing this?" Juvia asked as they both sit at the ground.

"Why? Revenge I think. You see I was really interested in Natsu and I want to play with him at first. I was interested in him because I want to see how a player like him will look like if I break him." Lucy said looking up at the sky

"at first?" Juvia asked holding both of her legs looking at Lucy

"Yes, at first. But then when he started to tell some stories about him, I started to have a crush on him. It's a different feeling from the other guys that I've dated before. At first I thought he was different because he seems to be sincere with the words he is saying. And I am here a stupid woman who forgets that the man she is playing with is also a player. You know I admire him for being such a good 'player'. He made me believe that easily on his words that I almost fall for him."

"..."

"And you know what? Jellal warned me against him. And I thought that even though I know I can handle it, it still hurts when I find out the truth that I am also getting played at. They made a bet to break me. I'm over it now and they will see now how I play this game for real." Lucy said as she stand up and look at the city view.

"Uh...Lucy-san why is Gray involve here?"

"It's because he is the one that told me about this. He gave me a hint about their bet and Jellal also told me that Natsu's friends are the one responsible for it." Lucy said

"I don't know if I'm doing the right thing but Juvia is going to do her best on playing this game for the first time for you Lucy-san." Juvia said and Lucy gives Juvia a bear hug

"Thank you very much Juvia."

"What?! You made Juvia accept your offer? Are you insane?" Cana yelled at Lucy at the cafeteria at their table

"Yeah she accepted it and I know she is fitted for the job." Lucy said

"You really are insane Lucy. Juvia is innocent about these things and you made her do something that's not her." Erza said

"Call it what you want but as I told you Gray made me do this. As I want to punch him in the face I can't. I might get suspended of doing so and my reputation would be ruined." Lucy said in cross arms

"*sigh* unbelievable..." Cana sighed.

"Hahahahaha...Now I will start with the real deal. Later girls." Lucy bid goodbye to her friends.

"Hey where are you going?!" Erza asked and Lucy pointed out to Natsu's table

"I see." She said and just eats her strawberry cake

"Let's see who the boss here is." Lucy mumbles as her approach the table of Natsu and his friends

"Hey guys!" Lucy said and she clings on Natsu's neck. Natsu was surprised to see her

"Lucy! What happened to you earlier!" Natsu asked

"Oh nothing!" Lucy said "Can I sit next to you?"

"Sure." Natsu said and offer a seat next to him.

"So what do you want for diner later?" Lucy asked

"Ohhhh.....Looks like you guys are living together now. Are you?" Loke teased

"It's not like that...." Natsu said and look at Lucy who is smiling at him

"Yeah. You can say that!" he said

"Looks like Natsu is doing great we are in trouble." Loke whispered on Gray who is glaring at Lucy.

"We are not in trouble. She's playing tricks on him." Gray said

"How can you say that?"

"Just look at her."

"I don't like that stare coming from you Gray." Lucy said and looks directly at Gray. He was startled at her statement.

"Gray! Don't glare at Lucy!" Natsu said and put his arms on Lucy's shoulders. Lucy smirks on Gray.

"Natsu. Can we talk? Alone?" Gray stood up and said.

"Can we do it later?" Natsu asked

"I just came here. Why don't you chill down and let's talk!" Lucy said in a teasing way that made Gray more pissed about her.

"What do you want to talk about?" Gray asked

"How many girls have you made crying?" Lucy asked straight forward. Gray became more pissed at her but he keeps his anger at her.

"Is that question necessary to answer?"

"No but if you like to answer you can do so."

"Well I don't want to answer it."

"Is it me or I do feel a tension between you two?" Natsu said

"Huh? What are you talking about? Gray and I are in good terms right?" Lucy said and laughs

"I'm going to the toilet." Gray said and excuse himself

"What happened to Gray?" Natsu said

"I don't know? Maybe he hates me?" Lucy said and clings on Natsu

"You guys are weird today, did something happen?"

"Nothing! Can you drop that topic now?!" Lucy yelled

"Oh I'm sorry Luce, I didn't mean to get you upset."

"It's alright. I think you need to talk to Gray now. And I'm sorry Natsu." Lucy said and leaves the group.

Looks like the Mr. Nice Guy has become the Mr. Ice Guy hahahaha... You're becoming cold Mr. Fullbuster.....

Lucy mentally laughs...
