NaLu: The Story Of Us

▷▶Chapter 17◀◁

-time skip, one week later-

(Summary of what has been going on for the past week:
1. Natsu and Lisanna are going out. Natsu gets information about his mother from Lisanna every time they go on a date. Natsu still loves Lucy and his heart hurts every time he sees her with Sting.
2. Sting and Lucy are going out. They grew close after the meeting in the library and go on weekly dates. Sting loves Lucy and Lucy enjoys spending time with him, but a small part of her still can't let go of Natsu. Each time seeing Lisanna and Natsu hurts her a little but Sting heals her.
3. GaLe, JeRza, MiraXus, and GrUvia are cannon.
4. Gray and Lucy are still close siblings.
5. Natsu and Lucy still aren't on talking terms. Natsu never got the chance to talk to her. He can't, Lisanna won't let him. Things got worse when Lucy found out they were dating.

~Lucy's P. O. V. ~

Gray stopped outside the school and I got off first, entering the school. I walked inside, meeting up with Erza and the others. They were all with their boyfriends, talking happily. I smiled. Awwwwwww they were adorableeeee. "Hi guys," I greeted cheerfully. "Hi Lucy" "Lu-chan!" "Ohayo, Lucy-san" "Hey Lucy" "Hi" "Sup" "Yo" all kinds of greetings were heard. "Aww you guys are adorableeee..." I squealed. They all blushed while I grinned in triumph. "Hi Luce." A familiar voice came from behind me. Way to ruin my mood. My heart raced as I turned around to meet a guy with pink hair and onyx eyes staring down at me, with a white haired girl latched on his arm. "Hi." I replied shortly. Natsu looked like he wanted to say something, but stopped once Sting appeared. "Heyyy babe," he said, twining his arm around my waist. "Hi Sting" I smiled. I looked over at Natsu. His eyes were shadowed by his hair and he looked...sad.....?

Whatever. He deserved it.

"Lucy, come with us for a while." Mira said. The girls dragged me off to the rooftop.

"Lucy, you're really going out with Sting?" Erza asked once we'd reached. "Yeah," I answered. Levy spoke, "Lu-chan, you sure? Sting was introduced to this school to make Natsu jealous and to heal you, but...." "Levy, it's fine. I'm happy with h--" "No, you're not. Juvia can tell." Juvia said, cutting me off. She was always the one who could tell how we truly felt. I froze. But how did she know...? "I am, I'm happy with him." I reasoned. "Does your heart pump faster with Sting-san or Natsu-san?" She asked. "Ju-Juvia..." I couldn't say anything. "Juvia has been watching Lucy-san. You smile with Sting-san but Juvia has seen brighter ones with Natsu-san. Please, Lucy-san, Juvia can tell Natsu-san is sad." She begged. "I..." I looked down, and sighed. Mira suddenly tackled me and I fell to the floor. "Easy, Mira." Cana slurred, taking another swig of her champagne.

I looked at Mira. She looked like she was gonna slaughter me. I gulped.

"NALU IS MY OTP. NATSU IS SUFFERING. GIVE ME BACK MY OTP. SCREW STING. MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED. BREAK. UP. WITH. STING." Mira yelled.

"No," I said softly. "What? " Mira asked me in the same tone I had used. "No. I can't break up with him. He is who I am supposed to be married to. There's no point going to Natsu. Plus, Natsu is with Lisanna." I said firmly. "I've been waiting for you to say that." Mira smirked as she got off me. She fiddled with something in her pocket and hurled something at me. I fumbled to catch it.

A recorder?

"A recorder?" I thought out loud. "Yes. Listen to it when you're at home. Then you might change your mind." Mira said. I stood up, staring at it. What could be inside it? The girls circled up around me. "Lucy, Natsu needs you." Erza patted my shoulder. "Gray-sama told Juvia that Natsu-san still loves Lucy-san." Juvia told me. Wow she can say "Gray-sama" without fantasizing anymore. "Lu-chan, onegai dakara, think about who's closer to your heart." Levy pleaded. "MY. O. T. P. " Mira hissed. I flinched. She's a hardcore matchmaker. "Lucy, are you truly happy with Sting? Are you truly happy with resigning to your fate--going back to Saber, back to your father?" Cana said seriously. I looked around for signs that she was drunk. Wow. Sober. I sighed. They could tell huh. But....
