[inspired by bongyoung park’s choreography to ‘me like yuh’ by jay park, which can be found here!]

She watched him walk over to the speaker, perfectly placed along the wide row of mirrors to mark their center. Her eyes couldn’t help but admire how his white oversized t-shirt accentuated his broad shoulders as he picked up his phone.

He looked up and met her gaze through the mirror, a smirk decorating his face. “This is the last time we’re gonna do it before the audition tomorrow. Go all out, okay? Don’t hold back.”

Taking it as a challenge, she took a deep breath and allowed every oxygen particle to circulate through her veins and warm up her body. Her eyes fluttered shut in anticipation, waiting for him to press play.

Once she heard the gentle EDM beats waft into still the air of the studio, she expelled all of the air from her body and began to absorb the music. She opened her eyes to see him approaching her with purposeful steps. He circled around her body and teasingly placed his face in the crook of her neck. His soft lips grazed her collarbone sending waves of electricity down her spine.

All of her senses were gradually surrendering to the music and the burning feeling that was blooming within her stomach. Ready to become one with her dance partner, she smirked and let the fire in her eyes take the lead. She gently gripped his face and brought it closer so their lips were just centimeters apart. Her eyes drifted from his lips and straight into his dark eyes as she whispered the first words of the song.

I need a cha cha beat, boy.

“Ugh! I don’t know what to do for this stupid audition!” she screamed into the air before smashing her face onto the round wooden table. She thought being in a dance studio would spark a hint of inspiration but clearly it wasn’t working. There were only two weeks left until the auditions to be a dancer for 1MILLION’s Dance Showcase came around. All she had to do was perform a cover of any one of their choreographies. Since she basically watched all of their videos on a daily basis, choosing a piece would be the easiest thing ever. Just pick any one of her favorite dances, easy right? Wrong. Not only could she choose a favorite but she had to pick a piece that would showcase the most important aspects of her dancing: cleanliness, technicality, performance, and style.

“Why don’t you just do one of Yoojung’s pieces? You both have similar styles, so why not?” her friend suggested as he watched her misery from across the table. His long, gangly arms reached for her laptop and pulled it up in front of him, scrolling through videos while she descended deeper in her crisis.

If she had to relate her style to one of the 1MILLION choreographers, it would be Yoojung Lee. Everyone else’s movements were very sharp and powerful, but the way Yoojung effortlessly moved her body like ocean waves resonated with her. She would’ve loved to cover Bad Things or See You Again but her gut feeling told her to do someone else’s choreography.

She slowly raised her head hoping that he’ll have the answer, not even bothering to move her hair out of her face. “I would but I feel like that’s taking the easy way out. I need something that showcases my style and personality but also different than anything I’ve done before. Jun, help me!”

She suddenly got up from her seat to sit in the chair beside him. Her head planted face first onto Junhui’s shoulder while her arms lazily hugged his body. Sighs of distress and wails of fake crying were all that could be heard as she buried her face in his denim button down.

He chuckled at how she acted like it was the end of the world, but it kind of was if she couldn’t think of something soon. 1MILLION was a place that housed some of her favorite choreographers, all of whom inspired her in so many ways to improve and grow as a dancer. She never thought there would come an opportunity where she could dance with them on stage. Now that it was right in front of her, she had to give her everything to achieve her dream.

“You got this, don’t worry. You’re already a great dancer. We’ll find the perfect piece so you can slay every single person at the audition.” Junhui ruffled her hair and tried to reassure her as much as he possibly could. His eyes continued to scan the long list of videos until he landed on one particular piece. He lightly nudged his shoulder to get her attention. “Hey. What about Me Like Yuh?”

Hearing those words made her head shoot up like a rocket. Her jaw dropped to the floor just thinking about how difficult that dance was. “By Junsun Yoo?! Have you seen his footwork in that piece? Wow, I know I’m great but not that great.”

“Way to flatter yourself when you were crying about how terrible you were a minute ago.” he flicked her nose to snap some sense into her.

“Hmph. But it’s true though.” she muttered and pursed her lips into a pout, rubbing her nose.

Junhui rolled his eyes, clearly not in the mood to deal with her attitude right now. “But no, not that one. The one with the partner.” his expression softened, giving her a sweet smile in hopes that he would get an opposite reaction this time.

She averted her gaze to the ceiling as she tried to recall which dance he was talking about. “Oh! The one by May J Lee?” her index finger and thumb subconsciously rested against her chin, considering whether or not this dance would suit her. “Hm, the partner part is only for like ten seconds though. And I’m not too crazy about the rest of the dance to be honest.”

Junhui sighed loudly and didn’t bother to hide his annoyance. “No! The one by Bongyoung Park!” He clicked on the video and pushed the laptop towards her. Scooting his chair a little closer, their arms brushed against each other as she leaned her body closer to get a better view.

“Oh. This one.” a faint whisper escaped her breath before she glued her eyes to the screen. She watched as Bongyoung and his partner danced side by side. His eyes never strayed away from her body like a lion watching his prey. The amount of sexual tension between the two of them was enough to make her feel like she could pass any chemistry class at their university.

She wasn’t sure why he suggested this dance of all things. Was he implying they do it together? Despite being best friends, there was no denying the warm feeling that sprouted in her lower body whenever they were alone. But because he was the most important person to her, she didn’t want to jeopardize their relationship if he didn’t feel the same way. Could doing this dance with Junhui be the spark she needed to turn their friendship into something more? All of these thoughts were racing in her mind so quickly that she couldn’t even focus on the video. She didn’t even notice that he paused the video after it was done.

The way Junhui looked at her afterwards made her stomach rush like she was going downhill on a rollercoaster. The way his dark chocolate eyes looked into hers waiting for her reaction. His beauty marks accenting his velvety plush lips as they formed into a soft smile. Her eyes lingered on his lips longer than usual and caused the butterflies to buzz frantically in full force.

“So? What do you think?” his voice sounded like molten honey as he drawled every word.

She had to force herself to look into his eyes and nowhere else. “I really like it! I’ve always wanted to do this dance ever since I saw it months ago. But … who would I do it with?” the answer was already sitting right in front of her, clear as a summer’s day. But she needed the verbal confirmation to dismiss the doubts in the back of her mind. She needed to know if he reciprocated even the tiniest hint of her feelings.

He blinked and looked a little hurt that she wasn’t catching on with the idea. But his expression quickly changed to a more confident one with his lips curling into a sly grin. “Me, of course.”

Even though she couldn’t see herself in the mirror, she knew her cheeks were stained pink. There’s no denying that he felt the same way. There’s no other explanation for his behavior and he even said so himself that he wanted to do this specific dance with her. But the small part of her brain, the part that always had to second guess every single detail, craved for more than just those three words. “Wait, are you serious? You really would? Does that mean you’ll audition with me?” she tried to not sound too eager, attempting to stabilize her voice tone.

Junhui definitely noticed how flustered she became because all he did was laugh and smile at her reply. His eyes curled into the most genuine eye smile she’s ever seen, giving no doubt that he was sure of his decision. “Yeah. I know I said I didn’t want to before but I changed my mind. I want to be with you every step of the way. From the audition and all the way to the stage.”

The amount of happiness that bubbled within every inch of her body was too much for her to handle. She leaped up from her chair and threw her body at Junhui, encircling her arms endearingly around his neck. “Thank you. Thank you so much! You don’t know how much this means to me.” she gleefully sighed in his ear.

He hugged her waist and gently stroked his fingers through her soft, cloudlike hair. “No way am I letting you get all the spotlight while I watch from the audience.” he chuckled and pulled away from the hug. She suddenly became very aware of how close their faces were and it was difficult to suppress the urge to kiss every inch of his face. But his voice, sounding a bit deeper than just moments before, broke her away from her trance. “So, practice starting tomorrow? We don’t have much time.”

All of the doubt and hesitation seemed to gradually disappear from her mind. Just imagining their bodies pressed against each other was enough to assure her that this was the start of something new. She longingly gazed into his eyes and nodded. “Mhm. Give me that cha cha beat, boy.”

It was already deep into the night. Rays of moonlight seeped through the windows and showered the dimly lit room with a gentle wash of light. It was the day before the audition and they’ve been practicing in the studio for several hours with little breaks in between. Some people came and went to share the spacious studio with them and they didn’t mind at all. They were so encompassed in their own little world that they forgot they weren’t alone sometimes. But now with the clock nearing midnight, their only company was each other. It was all or nothing.

Practicing this dance with him over the past two weeks only intensified the feelings she’s had for Junhui. Every touch on her skin felt electrifying. Every time their bodies brushed past each other ever so slightly, it was enough to send chills down her spine.

He looked up and met her gaze through the mirror, a smirk decorating his face. “This is the last time we’re gonna do it before the audition tomorrow. Go all out, okay? Don’t hold back.”

I need a cha cha beat, boy.

Perfectly matching with the beat drop, she and Junhui moved together with the music. Despite being only a foot away, the heat forming between her legs made it seem like they were miles apart and she already longed for his touch. However, she couldn’t let this distract her from doing the dance properly. After endless hours of practice, the moves were hardwired in her muscles and she could practically do this in her sleep. But if she let her mind drift away too much, it would all go downhill from there. No way was she going to let Junhui down just because she couldn’t control herself.

It’s such a perfect night I go crazy when you move Come a little closer I’m waiting so desperately

She watched herself in the mirror like a hawk making sure she hit every beat with the right amount of power. Her eyes couldn’t help but follow his movements and she immediately felt a whole lot better seeing their bodies in sync. She waved her finger and signaled him to come closer, teasingly tilting her head with a smirk as the distance between them lessened. The hunger in his eyes, wanting to devour every inch of her body, made her want to give him more. She leaned forward and smoothly grinded on him, leaving inches in between to play with him.

This moment is the moment I’ve been waiting for When you see me move, you’ll know what I want Keep dancing all night long ‘cause I’m not tired I’m drunk with your eyes I don’t ever wanna wake up

Despite the overabundance of sexual tension in the room, she couldn’t help but reminisce to all the times they danced together as friends. They’ve been helping each other grow and improve ever since they met a few years ago. So many emotions and thoughts were running through her mind when Junhui closed the gap between them once more as he wrapped an arm around her waist to guide her hips to the rhythm. The moment he spun her around and dipped her body, she felt his eyes watching her exposed neck like a vampire craving for blood. When she lifted her head and met his gaze, she almost forgot what to do next. Having his face that close, his hands still latched onto the bare skin of her waist, made her breathless. She silently thanked herself for wearing a crop top that day.

She broke away from his grasp and strutted towards the back wall of the studio, inviting him to follow her. Junhui purposefully walked over and draped his arm over her shoulder, his lips attempting to steal a kiss on the side of her neck. She spun her body around just in time to stop him from achieving his goal and her tongue playfully poked out of her mouth. Striding back to the middle of the room, her eyes watched as he slowly came up behind her and seized her by the waist so she couldn’t escape from his grasp. He pressed his lips to her ear and sensually whispered the lyrics. “I hope you know it, I hope you know it.”

Wanting the butterflies to fly away from her body, she channeled all of her pent up energy into the chorus. She made sure to match Junhui and nail all of the moves and textures. Whenever they did choreography together for their dance team, it felt like they were just two separate parts of a whole. But this time was different. Despite doing the same moves, they now acted as one. They were halfway through the chorus when she lifted her finger once again, but this time she gently grazed his neck from his Adam’s apple and up to his chin. His grasp on her tightened and the fire in his eyes intensified, making it seem like he couldn’t hold back for much longer.

I feel a cool breeze I wanna be here forever The sky is looking down on us The stars are shining but you’re my star

The beats of the music suddenly toned down and time seemed to slow down. The way Junhui tenderly held her waist as if she were his most precious treasure made her fingers want to ruffle his hair and feel his silky, ebony locks under her touch. When they had to move away from each other once again, the heat burned throughout her body like a volcano about to erupt. They completed the last moves in the choreography and turned to face each other one last time. Before she was able to escape his gaze for a few moments to allow herself to breathe. But now her eyes couldn’t look at anything in the room but him.

His dark brown eyes seemed to shine brighter than the stars in the night sky with every step they took towards each other. It felt like all of the electricity building up inside of her was about to burst and she couldn’t do anything else to contain it. Her arms wrapped tightly around his neck in response to his hands squeezing her waist. The music flowed into her ears as her eyes darted all over Junhui’s face admiring every detail. His eyes were clouded with desire like he was under her spell. He leaned his face closer until their lips were just about to touch. His hot breath ghosting over her mouth drove her senses wild when he whispered the words booming over their heads in the background. “My star.”

Junhui grabbed the nape of her neck and pressed his plump lips against hers. She pressed her body closer while running her hands through his raven hair. A slight moan escaped from her lips when his tongue entered her mouth, wanting to take in as much of her as he could. It felt so good to finally release all of the sexual tension that built up inside them throughout these past two weeks. Now that the spark was lit, they weren’t planning on stopping.

His hands gradually drifted from her neck and down the curves of her body. His fingers lingered on a patch of bare skin on her waist before stopping firmly at her hips. He led her to the front of the room and pushed her body against the mirror. Junhui broke away from the kiss and looked into her milk chocolate eyes, which were stained with lust. “You have no idea how hard it was to practice this dance with you and control myself at the same time.” he murmured, his lips trailing from her jawline to the sweet spot on the side of her neck.

“Then don’t stop. You said so yourself to go all out, right? Jun, don’t hold back with me.” she felt Junhui smile underneath her warm skin letting her know that he’ll keep his word.

He looked up from her neck and gave her the most sinful smile. His canines ready to mark every part of her body. “Oh, trust me. I’m not planning on holding back.”

Music stopped emanating from the speakers as the song faded to an end. However, the slow melody of Feature by Jay Park began to waft through the steamy air in the studio. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath letting her body take the reign.

He grabbed the hem of her crop top to lift it up over her head and threw it across the studio. He bent down to kiss her chest letting his tongue trace her collarbone, swirling it against her smooth skin. She moved her hands from his hair and down his back, tugging the ends of his shirt trying to get it off. No way was she going to let him have all the fun. He broke away to fulfill her request and swiftly removed his shirt in one quick motion.

Her eyes scanned every inch of his body from his defined chest and all the way down to his hips, admiring every plane and curve like a work of art. She cupped his cheek and gave small kisses on the beauty marks scattered all over his face. “It was so hard trying to keep my hands from touching your body underneath that shirt.” her fingers reached for the button on the hem of his jeans, fiddling to get them undone under all this heat. Once the button finally came loose, she dipped her hand and felt his length between his boxers, which was getting harder with her touch.

Unable to suppress a loud moan, Junhui pulled her tighter and reached for her bra with his free hand successfully unclasping it with a flick of his fingers. He watched as the piece of black, lacy lingerie fell to the floor and exposed her breasts. His lips immediately gravitated towards her chest and gave gentle kisses before sucking on her nipple.

A pool continued to form in her underwear the more contact he made with every part of her body. The whimpers escaping from her lips indicated she needed more. “Jun, oh my god.”

He broke away to see her face laced with pleasure, smirking as this was only the beginning. “Angel, we just started this dance and you’re already getting weak.” he reached for the band of her sweatpants and pulled them down to reveal a pair of black lace underwear, which matched with her bra making him chuckle. “Did you know this was going to happen?”

“Oh please. Practicing Me Like Yuh for the last time in a dark studio late at night? I’m not an idiot.” pursing her lips into a pout. She felt a little insulted that he was surprised she wasn’t expecting this at all.

“Well, let’s not let your efforts go to waste then. Shall we?” his fingers made contact with her wet, hot core and slowly drew circles along her folds.

“Fuck, oh my god.” she grabbed his lean shoulders for support and dug her fingernails into his skin unprepared by this sudden contact. Satisfied with her immediate reaction, he hooked his fingers onto the hem and pulled the piece of fabric down her thigh. His fingers traced her inner thigh before stopping at her core. He teasingly placed his fingers on the sides of her entrance before going back up and drawing gentle circles around her clit.

Her tongue hissed in his ear, cursing underneath her breath. Not wanting to let him have complete control, she finally reached her hand into his underwear and felt his length, letting her fingers gently linger with the slightest touch. Her free hand explored the skin around his hips and roamed his jeans. She stumbled upon something in his back pocket. Sliding her fingers inside, she pulled out an inconspicuous gold wrapper. “Seems like I wasn’t the only one expecting this tonight, am I?” she smirked as she opened up the packet and sensually slid on the condom adding slight pressure.

Junhui winced at her contact and finally entered her core increasing his speed. She screamed as she felt her walls tightening around his fingers, already feeling the coils within her stomach starting to tighten. “Jun, I need more. Please! Don’t hold back.” she begged under her breath, which was getting heavier by the second.

It wasn’t long before he couldn’t control himself any longer and paused to pull his pants down his thighs fully revealing his length. Her hand made its way from his shoulder and down his body to wrap around his hardness, pumping slowly in order to tease him. Junhui drew in a sharp breath of air and bit the side of her neck to relieve himself of the immense amount of pleasure he was feeling.

She could sense from the way he pressed against her body that he was still holding back, unsure if they should go further. But they were already falling very deep into each other and there was no going back. She gradually increased the speed of her hands to set him off over the edge. “Finish this dance with me until the very end.” she whispered into his ear, her voice low and sultry.

He broke away from her neck and pushed her body harder into the mirror. He placed his hands on her thighs and lifted them up to tangle her legs around his body adjusting their position so they fit together like puzzle pieces. He dug his nails into her warm, supple skin before finally entering his length into her tight core. He moaned loudly as he slowly pumped himself into her, feeling the relief wash over him after weeks of suppressed tension. “You’re so tight.”

All of the heat suddenly pooled between her legs and she felt like she was about to burst at any second. Her teeth bit into his shoulder while she continued to whimper, wanting more with every movement he made inside her.

“Oh my god, fuck!” Junhui suddenly pumped himself faster with all the strength he could muster from his body, feeling his sweet release relieve all of the strength in his body. He breathed heavily as he exited her core and quickly bent down to press his mouth on the warm, wet skin down below. He adjusted her legs so that her thighs rested on his shoulders, one of his hands firmly grasping her leg to give her more support.

“Jun, please make me come!” she screamed as she felt his tongue quicken its pace around her clit while his fingers penetrated her once again, pumping faster as he felt her muscles tense underneath his shoulders. He looked up at her and gave her a devilish gaze, letting his eyes do all of the talking while his mouth was at work. Her hand grabbed his hair as she pressed all of her weight into the mirror feeling the coils in her stomach about to unravel. Her back arched and her hips bucked into his face as she felt her release spread throughout all the muscles in her body. His fingers slowed down as she rode out her high and she slowly released the grip on his hair.

Junhui carefully lifted her legs off his shoulders and set them down onto the floor. He pulled her underwear back up her body and kissed her lovingly on the lips when he stood up and met her face. She closed her eyes and lost herself in the kiss. After a while, he broke away and gave her another one of his signature smirks. “I’ve wondered how it would feel like to have your hips against me but that was a lot better than I imagined.”

She couldn’t help but laugh at his compliment and felt proud of herself for going above and beyond his expectations. “I could say the same for you. It seems like powerful movements don’t just describe your dancing.”

“Well with the way you’ve been making me feel lately, I had to give everything I got.”

“And you didn’t disappoint.” she giggled, a dash of euphoria washing over her like she was the luckiest girl in the world to have Junhui in her life. She grabbed her clothes off the floor and got dressed, feeling content with the progress they made both with the dance and their relationship.

Junhui retrieved his shirt from the floor and effortlessly slipped it back onto his body. He padded over to the speakers to turn off the music once he was fully dressed and a silence now filled the studio. She creeped up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist while resting her head on his back. “So, are you ready for the audition tomorrow?”

He placed his hands over hers and released her grasp only to turn around and face her. He cupped her cheeks and lazily rubbed her face with his thumbs. Feeling all of the warmth radiating from his touch and from his gentle smile, she knew she had nothing to worry about. She watched as his twinkly eyes curled into crescents and resembled the moon outside, which casted a delicate glow above their heads. “More than ever. And you want to know why?” he pressed their foreheads together and his gaze was enough to make the familiar butterflies in her stomach flutter like flower petals falling from the sky. “Because I finally found the perfect partner that I want to dance alongside with for the rest of my life.”

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5

Lucy sat at her desk unconsciously chewing on the end of a pencil. Her focus was on the computer screen in front of her as various pictures and articles of Minerva Orland came into view. Paparazzi pictures of her at beaches with different boyfriends and news of her father's detainment were all over the search engine.

Erza was right about not finding much on the Orland Heiress. For someone who loved being in the limelight, Minerva's ability to evade scandals was surprising to say the least. A simple search was not going to get the job done.

One of her female coworkers peeked over into Lucy's cubicle. "Hey, Lucy! You have a cute guy waiting for you at the reception desk."

A cute guy? Was Loke checking up on her again? Occasionally her father would send at least one of his people to check on Lucy, much to her annoyance. The only thing that made it bearable was the fact that her father's people weren't stoic stick in the muds. They all had character.

Lucy made her way to the front of the building to see Dan leaning against the reception desk, smiling at the receptionist. The young receptionist had a blush on her face and flirtatiously twirled her long brown locks. Dan always had a way with the ladies. Even if it wasn't his intentions.

"Dan?" Lucy called out in confusion.

Dan's focus changed to Lucy and his smile widened even more. "Hey! Figured I'd take you out to lunch and maybe catch up?"

"Oh! Um…" Lunch with him wouldn't hurt and it wasn't like Dan was interrupting anything majorly important. "Sure!"

Lunch went fairly well. They had stopped by a small café to enjoy their lunch without the hustle and bustle of the locals being nearby. The two had revealed what they had been up to since college and the obstacles they overcame to get to this point. Lucy learned that Dan was now the vice-captain of the Legion Corps, a feat that she could imagine was not as easy as the media made it out to be. He also told his purpose for being in Magnolia, which was to oversee the creation of the new tactical gear for Legion.

She had spoken of her career choice and joked that it wasn't as grand as his, which he countered by saying her job was just as important as his and probably just as dangerous. They spent an hour in each other's company and Lucy had to admit it was nice being able to see Dan again.

"Lucy," Dan said. "I know this is sudden, but I'll be going to the Orland Charity party this weekend and I was hoping you would be my plus one? I'm not sure who will be there, so having a friendly face with me will make things less tense."

Lucy was a little surprised by the invitation. It would be nice to finally go out with someone for the first time in a while, but that would mean she'd have to deal with the repercussions of the lie she told to Minerva.

Lucy gave him a sad smile. "I'd love to, but I'll be out of town this weekend."

Dan nods in understanding. "That's alright! I'll just be my old charming self. That normally wins a crowd over."

Lucy giggled softly. Dan was a popular guy who knew how to wow a crowd when he needed to. He would do just fine with or without Lucy being there.

After bidding Dan farewell and finishing up things at work, Lucy found herself at home surrounded by notes and photos for an upcoming article. It was hard to concentrate on which government official was caught in a sex scandal when there were much bigger things to focus on.

A loud knock on her door disrupted Lucy's work flow and she was ready to scold whoever disturbed her but stopped when she finally saw who was at the door. There stood Natsu with a troubled expression on his face. The irritation in her eyes quickly changed to genuine concern. "Everything okay?" Lucy asked as she moved to the side to let the man in.

He frowned slightly as he walked into the apartment. "Macao thinks Romeo's been kidnapped. He didn't show up to practice and none of his friends have seen him since Friday. We figured he would be with Wendy, but she hasn't seen him either."

Romeo was like a younger brother to Natsu, so Lucy knew this hit a little close to home for him. "Has he gone to the police?" Lucy questioned.

Natsu let out a tired sigh. "Last I spoke to Macao; he was heading to the station."

She placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile. "Let's hope he's doing the irresponsible teenager thing and just not calling." That didn't ease his mind like Lucy had hoped and she felt like there was a lot more he wasn't saying. Natsu had never been uncomfortable when it came to talking to Lucy and often spoke freely. His actions right now were different from what she was used to. "There's something else I wanted to talk to you about."

She cocked her head to the side in bewilderment. "What's up?"

Natsu fidgeted awkwardly and refused to look Lucy in the eyes. Natsu was clearly nervous about whatever he had to say. And whenever Natsu was nervous that made Lucy equally as nervous. "It's about Lisanna."

Panic rose in Lucy's eyes. "I-is she okay? Did something happen in Edolas?" Despite her current feelings, Lisanna was still Lucy's friend and the if anything were to happen would be a devastating blow to everyone.

Natsu quickly nodded his head to calm her. "She's fine! This is about Lisanna and I." The both of them? What could possibly make him feel so edgy in regards to his relationship?

Then the thought it Lucy like a bus. His uneasiness, fidgeting and serious expression weren't just about Romeo. There was only one reason why a man like Natsu would be too nervous to talk about his girlfriend. Was he trying to tell her he was going to propose? It would make sense, right? Five years of dating can lead you into taking the next big step in life. A blushing bride and a happy groom ready to start a new chapter in their life.

A sharp pain surged through Lucy's chest as if a knife had been driven into her. Lucy was not emotionally prepared to think about this let alone deal with the reality.

Natsu went on. "We haven't spoken to a lot of people about this, but I wanted to tell you that Lisanna and I are-" Before he could finish, Natsu was interrupted by a loud roar that rivaled that of a lion coming from his cell phone.

Lucy never felt so relieved to hear that obnoxious ringtone in her life. "You should probably get that!"

Natsu looks down at his phone in annoyance then shoves it back into his pocket. "Erza can wait. Listen, I need you to know that-" His phone rang again.

Lucy stares down at the ringing phone in his pocket as the palm of her hands dampened with sweat. "It must be really important."

With a frustrated sigh, Natsu answered the relentless call. "Yeah? Can it wait? I'm in the mid- Okay, okay! I'll be there in ten."

"Everything okay?" Not that Lucy genuinely wanted to know, but she was more than happy to find out the cause of the sudden interruption.

Natsu groaned grabbing his keys off of the counter. "She didn't say just wanted me to meet her in midtown. It better be something big or I'm kicking Gray's ass." was his reply.

Wise words considering any attempt in fighting Erza would land him in the hospital for millionth time. Lucy escorted Natsu to the door and before taking his leave he turned to face her. "I'll talk to you later." Hopefully never.

Lucy closed the door behind him and rested her forehead on it. She took in a sharp breath before clutching her chest tightly. The ache that she felt was all in head, but that didn't stop it from feeling so real. Natsu was going to go down a path that Lucy knew she could never follow and there was nothing she could do.

If that was the case, then she was done sulking and hoping that one day Natsu Dragneel would look at her the way he did for another.

A light bulb flashed in Lucy's head. Lucy picked up her phone and quickly dialed, punching the numbers. Was she about to make a rash decision? Yes, but it was a decision that would also help with Erza's case. That reasoning was probably the only way one would justify their actions in a situation like this.

Hearing the person on the other line answer, she coughed to clear her throat and smiled.

"Hey, Dan. Do you still need that plus one?"
