A few days later on

Natsu Dragneel

You were now walking towards the guild's door. Feeling nervous you thought of ways to confess how you felt for him. Releasing a sigh you stop at your tracks and comb some of our hair back in frustration, thinking that you wouldn't be able to tell the truth.

"What do I do? What do I do?" You continued to ask yourself in a low tone. Hearing a couple of laughs you turn to gaze to your right. Not far in the distance you spotted little Asuka with her parents. They smiled at each other as they both held each of the young girl's hands, lifting her up. They were the sight of a true happy family. Their love was clear and you knew that was something you would want. Happiness, laughter, love...that's what you desired.

Now focusing you gaze back on the guild's door, you felt your confidence build up because of your hope. Ready to do this you began to march towards the closed doors. Opening the doors you soon noticed the pink hair of the guy you had caught feelings for. There he was looking at you with his signature toothy grin. Gulping you brought up all your strength to walk towards him.

"Hey (y/n), what's up?" He asked while staring right back at you. Your eyes were locked with his and that's when you felt your courage die once again.

"N-Natsu..." You have trouble speaking.

"Yeah?" He replies to your voice calling his name. His smile was still visible, showing every inch of his handsome white teeth.

"I-I...kinda..." You try to speak up once more to confess your true feelings for him but you still couldn't.

"Are you feeling okay? You're turning red." Natsu tilts his head and gives you a worried look. His smile slowly fades away.

"..." You fell into silence. Feeling embarrassed you quickly turn your gaze down. Now staring at both of your feet you tried your best to not run away.

"Spit it out." He orders in a sweet tone, obviously wondering what was it you were struggling so much to say.

"Natsu...I-I...like you..." You stuttered your confession. Still not making eye contact you nervously played with your fingers.

"Is that what you were having trouble to tell me? (y/n) I like you too." He chuckles as he too confesses how he felt but unlike you it was with ease.

"W-What...?" Your eyes widened at his response. Slowly looking back up to stare at the now laughing Natsu you watched him rub the back of his neck.

"See it wasn't hard for me to say." He says to you in a teasing way before giving a huge smile. You were surprised by his confession but also relieved by the fact that your feelings weren't rejected.

Gray Fullbuster

Walking through the library you scanned the books nearby, searching for one about magic herbs. Pulling out an interesting looking book you notice the eyes of a familiar person looking at you from the other side of the book case. A smile formed on your lips at the conclusion of who it was. Placing the book back from where you got it, you then continued to walk.

Knowing that the eyes from before were still watching you, you lead them to a dead end. Smiling to yourself you turn on your heel to face the raven haired man you were expecting.

"Are you stalking me?" You question him.

"Why would you think that?" He asks with a scoff in the end, keeping his bad boy carefree attitude in tone.

"Well you don't seem to have the capacity to actually read a book." You answer his question while a smirk slowly forms on your lips as you tease him.

"Wow...thanks." He glares before rolling his eyes.

"So what are you doing?" You asked, wondering what excuse he'd make up.

"Searching for a book." He states normally but you could tell he was lying.

"About?" You ask another question.

"Oh, you know...a book that talks about life." He tries to think of an answer while speaking, causing you to not believe him even more.

"Why? Is your life complicated right now?" You joked while folding your arms over your chest.

"Yeah, I guess." Gray rubs the back of his neck as he glances down at the floor, not wanting to make eye contact.

"Then let me make it more complicated." You say to him as you hand him the book you had picked out.

"Huh?" He says in a confused tone while looking down to read the cover. It was a romantic comedy called "P.S. I like you." and when he had a hunch of what you meant, he glanced up but you were no where to be found. You had confessed to Gray in an indirect way that now left him with a tint of red on his cheeks.

Gajeel Redfox

Thinking of why you liked Gajeel made you get a headache. You didn't understand the attraction yet you still liked it for some reason. Drinking some pills and a glass of water you sat on the steps outside of the guild. It was your time to relax and get rid of that terrible headache.

"Gahhh!" A loud shout roared behind you, causing your glass of water to spill all over you.

"Eeek!" You screamed as you jumped in fright.

"Gihi..." He chuckled under his breath.

"Gajeel!" You yell his name in a furious tone. This was your moment to relax and not think of him but he just had to mess that up.

"You should've seen your face! That look was priceless!" He laughed while holding his stomach with one hand and pointing towards you with another.

"You're so annoying and rude! And cocky! And I can't stand you!" You began to rant.

"You're like a barking chihuahua." He states which only makes you even more pissed then before.

"Ugh! Why do you pick on me so much!? You act like a little kid that has a crush and has to bug her to get her attention!" You continued to roar.

"What do you suggest then?" He asks you with a plain expression on his face.

"You little-...! What..?" You cut yourself off and change your anger full insult into a question.

"How else can I get your attention, without bugging you?" Gajeel asks.

"Why do you want my attention?" You don't answer his question, instead you asked him one.

"Isn't it obvious, kiddo?" He tilts his head, wondering how long it'll take you to catch on.

"No." You plainly answer.

"Well you're smart, figure it out." He smirks as he watches your face light up.

"G-Gajeel... I...I have feelings for you too..." You confess once you understand and look down, trying to hide your blush.

"I know." His smirk widens with more confidence while he pets your head.

Jellal Fernandez

Jellal and you were walking down a mountain trail. An awkward silence surrounded you both. Jellal knew there was something up but wasn't sure if you ask you or not.

"..." You stared at the ground while walking.

"Okay, what's going on?" He asks you as you both continued to walk the trail.

"Huh?" Tilting your head you glanced over to Jellal, wondering what he was talking about.

"You've been quiet the whole way." He states. You simply shrug off his comment and looked ahead of the trail, not wanting to look at him in the eyes.

"What's wrong with me being quiet?"

"Nothing, it's just that its not normal."

"..." Silence consumes you when you notice him step in front of you. Stopping both of your tracks and stretching his arms so you will not escape.

"Tell me...please." He says to you in a caring tone. Worry was all you could see in his eyes and you knew that he had an effect on you.

"I've just been thinking..." You turn around, feeling that you were about to explode.

"Mhm..." You hear him him from behind you.

"Well it's hard to say." Kicking a pebble away you concentrate your gaze on the ground.

"Is it that time of month?" Jellal question you which only made your eyes widen and you jump from where you were standing.

"What...OH NO! NO! NO! That's not it." You yell and he chuckles a bit to your reaction,

"Alright then, what's wrong? You can talk to me." Jellal says as he places his hand on your shoulder for comfort.

"WellthethingisthatI'vecaughtfeelingsforyouandit'skillingmetonotknowwhatwillhappennext." You say everything quickly, not leaving any space for him to understand of at least you hope. Sighing to yourself you look up to a smile playing on his lips.

"Haha. What happens next is up to you."

"What do you mean? It's not just my doing you know."

"Well if you won't take action then I will." He says before leaning in towards you.

"..." You feel into silence and complete embarrassment when you feel the warm lips of the blue haired man make contact with the skin of your cheek.

Laxus Dreyar

Sitting outside of a coffee shop, you read the sorcerer's weekly. After reading an interesting article about the zodiacs you take a sip of your caramel macchiato.

"Is this seat taken?" You hear Laxus's voice question you. Glancing up you notice that your hunch was right. It was him.

"No..." You say under your breath but he manages to read your lips and understands your answer. Taking a seat across from you he gave you a quick smile before looking down at his newspaper.

"Um... You like reading?" You attempted to start a conversation.

"I just read the news to know what's going on." He plainly states as he continues to the read without glancing up at you not even once.

"I see." You reply in a low tone before looking back at your magazine. He answered your question but didn't look at you. Was he uninterested in talking to you? It clearly was bothering you not knowing the answer to that question.

"Although it's fun to read other things too." He says out of nowhere, obviously getting your attention.

"Things like?" You ask.

"You for example." He answers.

"Me? What exactly do you read from me?" You tilt your head while raising your right eyebrow, wondering what he meant by that. So many possibilities, how could you figure it out that easily?

"You get nervous around me. Sometimes you stutter and look down when ever our eyes meet." His confident words pierce you as you knew he was right but you weren't going to let him have a point. Blushing lightly you glance down at your shaking hands that were resting on your lap and gulped.

"You're wrong! That's not true, I don't do any of those things." You snap at him with embarrassment all over your face.

"Your expressions and reactions clearly show that you've fallen for me." He seemed unfazed about the whole topic. Carefree, even felt twisted. Was he enjoying this?

"..." You fell into silence and looked back down to your hands, trying your best to ignore him.

"Am I wrong?" You hear his voice ask in a very cocky tone.

"I uh..." You had no words, how could you answer!? Fiddling with your fingers you continued to keep your gaze off him.

"Admit it, you want me." Laxus says while slipping his index finger under your chin and lifting your head. Now locking eyes you felt as if you had no other choice. At this point you were a blushing mess and said "I confess..."

"That's more like it. Be more honest with me kid, if you don't then I'll just have to kiss you lying lips every single time." Laxus chuckled as his index finger touches your lips in the most seductive way possible. Your eyes widened at his words and your stomach felt as if an explosion happened but in a good way.

(I didn't want to say butterflies in her stomach, that's sounds to cliché. Forgive me XD )

Sting Eucliffe

Sting was sitting next to you answering a question game together. You had promised him you'd play and so you did.

"What's your favorite color?" Sting asked.

"(Y/F/C). Now pick a number." You answer then waited for the number he would choose to say the question attached.

"5." He picks.

"Okay, five says... Favorite animal." You say while glancing at the numbered list with questions.

"Panda. Your turn."

"How about 28?"

"28 is... Are you sadistic or masochist?" He asks in a cocky tone. A smirk played on his lips as he waited for your answer.

"I uh....." You had trouble talking as you felt you cheeks grow warm.

"What cat got your tongue?" He continues with his mischievous attitude.

"Do I have to answer..?" You give him a confused and embarrassed look.

"Yes, if not you lose." Sting states.

"I think I want to lose."

"How about we make a deal?"

"What deal?" You tilt your head. What was the deal you had no idea but you couldn't change the fact that you were interested.

"You don't have to answer that question if you answer one I make up."

"Sure, what's the question?"

"Who do you like?" His smirk grew.

"W-What..?" You stuttered at his question.

"You heard me." Sting winks at you as he chuckled at your reaction.

"I give up. I lose..." You look away while crossing your arms in protest.

"I won't accept that." Sting says before pushing the papers off of the table and getting up from his seat. Slamming both of his hands on the table he continues to smirk as he leaned towards you.

"..." Wide eyed you stared at him in silence.

"I know how you can answer without speaking."

"H-How..?"

"If you stop me then you don't like me and if you don't then I think we both know the answer to that question." He says before leaning closer to you. You knew what he was going to do but had no intention of stopping him. Soon enough his lips met your... CHEEK! You thought he was going to kiss your lips but instead he flipped the scripts!!!! But anyways you were happy that everything was cleared up.

Rouge Cheney

Staring at the bracelet you were given you admired it's details. The thought of it coming from Rogue always made you smile like an idiot. You rolled off the sofa and fell on the floor for not paying attention to your surroundings. After you rub your aching body you hear a knock on your door.

"Coming." You yell before getting up and running towards the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's uh...Rogue." You hear the person answer. Smiling to yourself you slowly open the door that then revealed him.

"Hi." You say in a welcoming tone.

"Hey." He responds lowly.

"What brings you around here?" Tilting your head you watch his rub the back of his neck and say "Well there's something I had to tell you."

"Come in and tell me." You say while gesturing him to enter your place. Closing the door behind you then turning around you followed him to your couch and sat down with Rouge.

"It's about that." Rogue points at the bracelet you were wearing.

"The bracelet?" You act clueless.

"Yeah... I actually... Bought it for you." He confesses while looking down. A hint of blush could be seen on his cheeks which only made you feel warm inside.

You don't say... You say with a hint of sarcasm in your thoughts as you held in a small giggle. Still acting clueless you say "Why?"

"Because...Frosch really likes you." He blurts out of nowhere making up an excuse.

"Is that so?" You scoff.

"Uh yeah..." He answers with a lie.

"Well I thought it was because of something else." You state causing him to fall into deep silence. "..."

"Answer me this Rogue Cheney, do you have feelings for me?" You demand in a mannered way.

"I don't....think so." He says as he glances up at you.

"Are you sure?" You questioned. He then slowly nodded a hesitant nod.

"So you don't feel anything if I do this?" You ask in a soft tone as you slowly grab his hands and interlock your fingers together.

"....." He continued to stay quiet but something was different now. His hands were shaking and the small tint of pink on his cheeks grew tremendously.

"That's what I thought." You giggled.

"So what if I did...? It doesn't matter anyways." He says lowly before pulling his hands away from you.

"It does matter because I like you too." A warm smile formed on your lips while you confessed.

"Wait what..?" He sounded surprised as he looked up at you with wide eyes.

"You're shy you know."

"I know."

"It's cute." And with that you ruffled his hair. You both had confessed and now everything was going to change.

Leo the lion (Loke)

Loke insisted on accompanying you to your house, saying stuff like: "It's dangerous for a woman to walk home alone at night." Sighing you finally agreed and allowed him to come along just so he could stop insisting.

"I can't believe you said yes." Loke chuckled while he walked by your side.

"Whys that?" You tilt your head.

"Because you're stubborn."He states, causing you to give him 'the' look.

"Excuse me?" You say with your hand on your waist as you take a step in front of him and stop him at his tracks.

"You're excused sweetheart." He smirked before continuing to walk.

"You better not expect me to ask you if you want to come in for a hot cup of coffee or something." You threw a sharp glare at his back.

"Awe, really? Why?" He asked without stopping from taking steps forward.

"You haven't earned it. Plus I'm not like those other girls you easily sweep off their feet." You scoff as you went back to walking but then walk into something, causing you to slip but before you could fall you were grabbed me your waist.

"I know. That's exactly why I like you." Loke said as he held you by your waist, not letting you fall.

"..." Silence was you answer. Slightly pushing him away you started to walk away. How could he say it so easily..? Doesn't he understand he can hurt feelings by lying...? You thought.

"What's wrong?" You hear him ask.

"What's wrong is that I can't stand people who can easily say they like someone or fallen for someone when it's not true." You say as you finally reach your front door.

"..." You didn't hear him talk as you stared at your door. Now with your hand on the doorknob you were ready to enter without another word from you but felt an urge to say something again.

"You know there's people who take all their courage to admit their true feelings meanwhile there's people like you that just lie to have a good time." You place the key in and open the door.

"You're right. I used to do that with every girl I would lay my eyes on but with you it's been different." Loke grabs your wrist and pulls you away from the door.

"I've felt myself drawn towards you, your bossy attitude never leaves my mind, in fact it irritates me but I can't imagine going to the guild and not hearing it." He sighed in frustration as he pushes his hair back with his free hand.

"Loke..."

"I could say I was interested in you but if you haven't noticed I haven't been able to tell you I liked you up until now. It's taken me time to confess."

"...I'm sorry." You looked down now feeling bad for what you had said before.

"It's fine, I understand why you don't think I'm a safe pick but can you at least try to give me one chance and let me in your life?" He asks of you.

"W-Would....you like to come in for some coffee..?" You struggled to but still gave him the chance he had asked for.

"I'd love to." He smiles as he follows you inside. That night you two drank coffee and talked for hours.

Midnight

"Hey Mid do you want to play checkers?" You asked while you sat next to the river bank. Searching in your bag you searched for the board game you wanted to play with him.

"How many times have I told you to call me by my full name. Nicknames are annoying." An annoyed man replied.

"Nicknames are not annoying." You snap at him.

"Yes. They. Are." And he obviously snaps back.

"..." Silence came from you as you glanced upwards from you bag and focus your sight on him. Throwing a sharp glare at him you waited for him to let you win this argument...but it was pretty clear that it wasn't going to happen anything soon.

"I don't even understand the point of making them up. It's idiotic." He gives his rude but honest opinion to you.

"People make nicknames for people they care enough about to even make one." You state, hoping you'll make him understand. Checking again in your bag you realize you had left the game in the cave.

"Is that so? What about the children who get bullied and called horrible nicknames? Is that caring?" He questions with an eyebrow raise.

"Like everything in the world there is good and bad. Okay? So if I give you a nickname it's because I care about y-..." You cut your own sentence short. It was pretty pointless arguing with him not only that... You were almost about to admit you had feelings for him. That couldn't be revealed...not now.

"Hm?" He hummed.

"Uhh...I'll go get the checker board." You change the subject while standing up from where you were standing.

"Finish what you were going to say."

"It was nothing."

"(Y/N) say it." He orders in a soft tone.

"Fine. You want to know why I gave you a nickname? It's because I care about you... A lot." You confessed as you kept your eyes on him. It would've been embarrassing to not make any eye contact with him. If you didn't then he would realize the effect he had on you.

"I see." Were the only two simple words that he said. You felt your heart fall into your stomach as you looked away. Taking a deep breath you then started to take a few steps towards the cave.

Why do I feel so disappointed with his answer? Did I really think he'd say he had feelings for me too!? How silly... You thought to yourself as you slowly walked away.

"I suppose we share the same feelings for one another. It's relieving to know I wasn't the only one." You managed to hear him say from not far behind, causing you to stop at your tracks.

"M-Midnight..." You stuttered as a hint of blush appeared in your skin. Feelings...? Both of us..? You asked in your thoughts, wondering if you had heard correctly. Slightly turning to look at him you see a small smile playing on his lips.

"Let's play that game of checkers you were fussing so much about." He shooed you off to get the game.

"...okay." You agree in a low tone while a smile formed on your lips as well.

"Call me Mid if it's what you desire."

Zeref Dragneel

Dark walls, dark floors, dark ceilings were all that surrounded you. Pitch black was all you could see. The sound of the howling wind was all you could hear. That is until you heard...the faint sound of a voice called out to you. Searching for the direction of the voice you followed it until you could hear it louder and clearer.

"Huh?" You say under your breathe as you finally heard what the mysterious make voice said.

"(Y/N)..." The male voice called your name. Who was he and what did he want from you? Slowly opening your eyes a blur of off white and black appeared. Once your vision was back to normal you had realized the blur was actually none other then Zeref.

"...Z-Zeref?" You tilted your head as you slowly sat up.

"(Y/N)?" He called your name once more.

"What happened...? My head hurts." You say to him while rubbing your aching head. You were confused and did not understand what was going on.

"That's exactly what I was going to question you. What is this?" The dark haired man asks as he picks up a small empty bottle that was lying on the floor.

"The bottle...I remember now." You say under your breath while staring at your hands. He was bound to find out sooner or later but it was too early.

"Do you have any idea of what you've done? You took your only life away!" He furiously roared at you, causing you to fall into silence. "..."

"How stupid are you!?" He questioned as he continued to raise his voice in anger. A glossy coat of tears covered your eyes with each word that came from his lips. You stared down at the ground not know what to say or do.

"...I-I'm sorry. Please...don't yell at me." Your voice cracked as you spoke. Tears slowly escaped your eyes and rolled down your cheeks. Tear stains spontaneously covered the sand near you while you cried and soon a sigh could be heard from Zeref.

"Do you think I like yelling at you? Because I don't. I just can't believe you would give up your life so easily without a second thought. Your actions have consequences." He says in a softer tone.

"You're right...I didn't give it a second thought. I didn't care about the consequences and now that it has all happened... I still don't care. I don't regret it and I don't believe I ever will." You said in between tears. Your words full of honesty rang in his ears.

"...May I ask why you've done such thing?" The dark haired boy questioned.

"The truth is... That I did it because I wanted to be there...for you. In all occasions. In all situations. The good and bad. I wanted to be there for you." You began to confess. At first you hesitate but were then able to grab onto his hands. Holding his hands in yours a small smile formed on your lips. You could touch him... Nothing happened, you were in one piece. This is what you wanted. Positioning yourself onto your knees you hung your head and then spoke up once more.

"Zeref.... I've fallen for you and I don't think I'll ever be able to get up if it isn't without your help. Let me be by your side."

"You gave up your own life... For someone like me?" He asks.

"...yes." And you simply answered.

"There is no point of arguing about this. What's done is done..." He says to you before pulling his hands away from your grasp and standing up. Turning his back on you he got ready to walk away. You remained quiet as you felt the possibility of you two actually being together had just died. "..."

"...but do understand my path does not contain much light in its way nor does it have many happy experiences. Now aware of what would come ahead... Do you still desire to walk along my side?" He questioned while glancing over his shoulder to look at you. Looking up your eyes widened at the words he said. Your cheeks burned as you then spoke up and gave him an answer.

"Z-Zeref...that is what I desire the most."

"Then I will help you get up and stand. I will be there for you just how you've been there for me." Zeref opens his hand and extends it towards you. Locking hands with each other he then helped you stand up as you looked away in embarrassment.
