P.S.
This one shot was requested by some people... An AU in which at birth, everyone has their soul mate's eye color, and once they make eye contact, it switches. I'll try it. Also there has been many requests for more bashful Natsu XD I'll get to it

--- Lucy's POV ---

A greenish-brownish-greyish iris, that had a sharp, animalistic feeling. I have stated at these eyes for my whole life, claiming them as my own even though they were never truly mine.

Maybe a sky blue... Or maybe a beautiful forest green... Would those be my eyes? Maybe I'll be lucky and have those starling grey eyes I once saw while I was walking in the city.

I mean... I'll know my eye color someday... Right? If I can only find my soul mate.

Everyday I find myself, looking straight at everyone's eyes. I guess I'm more excited about the concept of having a new eye color, instead of the 'finding your love at first sight' portion.

"Lu-chan..." Levy spoke up, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Don't dwell to much on it okay? Love isn't something you want to rush into to find."

I say nothing and stare at her eyes, I was so used to seeing them as red, but they just changed the day before. "Yeah." I hummed.

"Gajeel invited me over for the day... I'll see you later." Levy forced a smile and left without another word.

---

I found myself listing out all my friends who had found their soul mates as I sat alone on a park bench.

Erza found hers when she was young.

Juvia found hers when she was in the hospital a couple years ago.

Levy met hers yesterday.

MiraJane and Lisanna found theirs on the same day, seven years ago while they were on a camping retreat.

And so many more... And now I am left alone, waiting for that one man or woman, or whoever, to literally steal my gaze. If I was matched with a cat, I would honestly feel elated.

"GO GO GO!!" Some people cheered as a group of runners, whom were in a charity marathon, ran past. I watched them with a small smile, though I didn't bother to make eye contact.

But I froze still as my eyes locked with one specific runner, and he set chills up my spine... In a good way.

Beautiful chocolate brown eyes that soon faded into a greenish-brownish-greyish color in his irises.

He stumbled slightly, stopping in his tracks to look at me but he was wished away with the other runners.

Breathing heavily, I raced alongside everyone to get to the finish line to meet this man. Not once did I think about my eye color.

"Onyx...eyes..." I gasp as I shove my way through the crowd at the finish line, the name of the color eyes I lived with for my whole life, up until now, came to me suddenly.

Where was he? The crowd was to pact in, I could barely move. And with all the moving bodies, I began to sweat, and I clearly felt my face start to heat up.

Soon enough, I gave up as I was knocked out of the circle for the umpteenth time. My arms ached from being slammed into everyone, and my toes were sore from all the times I stubbed them or tripped over someone else's shoes.

"You look exhausted." Someone said above me, a male voice that was oddly comforting. "And I'm the one who actually ran the marathon..."

I slowly gazed up at the boy. Pink, spiky hair, and sharp... Onyx eyes.

"I know those brown eyes like the back of my hand." He put on a toothy grin, which was super adorable, and stretched out his arm. "Need help?"

"Thank you..." I smile, hesitantly take his hand, pulling myself up off the ground.

"So..." He bounces up and down on his heels awkwardly. "You're my love at first sight I guess."

"You guess?"

"I know..." He corrected, blushing lightly. "We uh... Do you um... Want to find a less crowded place to talk?"

I blink and looked up at his flustered face. Cute, I thought to myself, He's cuter that I'd expected.

"I'd love to." I giggle, staring at the eyes that had once been a detail on my face.

Two months later...

Brown eyes look good on me, and I'm not meaning to sound self-centered.

Natsu had said it so much that I couldn't help but take his word. Though there were moments were I missed his onyx eyes on myself. But they looked great on him. I think I could even say he looked like an adorable strawberry.

Natsu is the boy who made that one true, and most meaningful, eye contact with me. And though he wasn't at all what I was expecting for my soul mate, reality somehow proved my dreams wrong and made them better than I could ever imagine. He was the best boyfriend a girl like me could ask for, and coming from me that's a lot. I never really thought about the love conflict that came with these eyes.

"Brown." Natsu spoke up to a group of our friends. "The color of chocolate. A comfort food. In this case it's our food."

I snorted and watched as everyone face palmed.

"Brown." He continued. "The color of the earth. Without it we wouldn't even be alive. Lucy, you're my reason to keep living."

I smile and raise my hands to my mouth.

"Brown... The color of shit, number two, and yes, basically poop." He smiled playfully at his words. "Poop is nutritious, here to a healthy long life I get to live with you."

I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I giggled lightly. All the girls looked disgusted while the guys were high fiveing one another.

"Brown. The color of the love of my life's eyes... With her by my side, I feel like I can do anything." He sat down beside me and took my hand in his. "I love you so much, Lucy."

"I love you too..." I whisper and allow him to peck my softly on the lips. "Who knew you could be such a poet?"

"You call someone who compares your brown eyes to a pile of shit a poet? Wow..." Gray spoke up from behind us, but was slapped on the back of his head by Erza who was kind of overemotional about the subject.

Gajeel laughed allowed at the sight of Gray getting hit, but Levy smacked him as well. "Shhh..." She hissed. "You guys always spoil romantic moments."

Jellal comforted the raging red head, and Juvia helped out by trying to get her Gray-sama to shut up.

Natsu and I simply laughed... Until Gray made another comment, and Natsu sprang towards him and started yet another fight.

"Geez..." I chuckle and wiped the remaining years from my eyes. "This is my life."

And I was finally happy.
