Fairy Tail: Another Forbidden Love (Lyon x OC) [BOOK 3]

Confessions: The Start of Another Forbidden Love

LYON'S POV
I turn to face Celestia. It's dark, so I can't see her face clearly

'I think now is my chance to confess to her'

CELESTIA'S POV
'Lyon's right in front of me. What should I do? What should I say?'

"Listen" we say at the exact same time

We laugh at ourselves

(1 Minute)
LYON'S POV
"Hey Celestia" I call

"Hmm?" she turns to me

"Do you happen to umm...like like someone?" I suddenly ask

'W-Why did I ask that?!' I begin to panic

(2 Minutes)
CELESTIA'S POV
"W-W-What?!" I'm definitely surprised by his question

I calm my nerves as I regain my composure, I answer him truthfully

"Yes... I think I do"

LYON'S POV
"Yes... I think I do"

I'm speechless. I'm upset that she has eyes for another

"I-I thought your not interested to fall in love?" I ask her

"I'm not interested, yeah. But I can't help the way I feel. I don't understand either. I don't want to fall in love, I've never fallen in love before, and I never wanted to. I've always had my ideal man, but I've never truly fallen, so this is a new experience for me" she says with a visible blush on her face

My heart feels tight

(3 Minutes)
CELESTIA'S POV
"How about you? How are things going with Juvia?" I ask trying to avoid the pain of asking that

"My feelings for her are long gone" he answers as he turnd around, now facing the door

"What do you mean?" I ask

"it's true that I was very much in love with her, but it's different now. I met a girl who I really enjoy spending time with"

For the first time, I feel like my heart break into a million pieces

(4 Minutes)
LYON'S POV
'Why can't I tell her that I love her?!'

"So what made you like the guy?" I ask

"He gets me. He was the first to ever see through me" she answers

"Are you going to tell him you like him?"

"No. I'm afraid he's in love with someone else"

"How about you? Aren't you going to tell the girl you like that you like her?" she asks

"I'm afraid that she likes somebody else too. I want to tell her how I feel but I'm afraid of what she'll say"

CELESTIA'S POV
"Try telling her anyways. Even if she's in love with someone else. She deserves to know how you feel" I say

'So I could move on'

(5 Minutes)
"...How should I start?" he asks

"Start by saying 'I love you'" I suggest

"What about you?" he suddenly asks

"Me?"

"Yeah. Aren't you going to confess as well?"

"I'll try"

'No, I shouldn't. It's taboo'

"*Sigh* I'm ready to confess" he says
