Possession
"Don't go taking what's mine" He said, making my heart skip a beat and then at that very moment I realized that this is not a matter of forever its the matter for an eternity. Especially when time started flowing the wrong way and it was too late when I realized that I've fallen a lot more deeper than I thought.
Chapter 1: The Last Night
"Don't go somewhere I can't see you"
Today I woke up early, its only 6:30 a.m. but the morning breeze is as chilly as ever. As I headed for a quick shower, I saw the calendar hanging from the wall.
06/07
I only have a month before that actual day comes.
I only have a month before my time runs out.
Sighing I headed towards my bathroom, as I turned the knob cold water comes out making every bit of my body cold and numb thats when I realized that I forgot to turn on the heater but right now who cares? Whether I get numb or cold nothing would change, time won't stop. Well I only have a month before my time actually stops.
By the time I went out from my bath, I decided to pour myself some hot coffee but then I thought that its too troublesome to make one and that I'm still sleepy so with only a bath towel wrap around my body I went towards my bed, lay down and took the blanket to cover myself. My pillow is getting drenched from my wet hair but the comfort and the heat I feel through my skin under the covers is not a bad feeling, actually I kinda like it. The heat entraps the coldness from my body and then before I knew it I was already in a deep slumber.
I don't know if I'm still awake or is this all a dream but right now I see myself standing in front of a mirror wearing a black dress and there is a man, standing behind me who is also wearing a black over all suit. I don't know who he is but I feel myself attracted to his warmth and that I'm about to get drunk from that warmth. If this is a dream please, please don't wake me up.
But just like time, dreams gotta end. And that dream of mine ended...it felt like a short dream but when I looked at the wall clock beside me its already five in the afternoon. A very long nap indeed. Then she remembered that she wasn't wearing anything besides from her towel so she decided to stand up and get herself some clothes when suddenly she felt someone's hand is tightly wrap around her waist. "What strength" She thought.
And when she decided to turn to see who's hand is it, She saw a very familiar pink haired man under her blanket and is currently sleeping peacefully. Sighing she went back to bed and decided to amused herself with the pink haired dragon slayer. "Lu..Lucy" He said as he mumbles her name to his sleep.
The name Lucy ain't so bad anymore she thought, before she really hated her name "Lucky Lucy" because everyone would tell her how lucky she is but the truth is she's not lucky or rather her name, blood, genes, everything is a curse for her. But right now, she met trustworthy friends who she could call family and a very special person who gives her the warmth that she wanted. "
"Lucy" he mumbled again, this time the blonde couldn't help but smile at the childish-like actions Natsu Dragneel is doing.
"What is it? Natsu?" She said, as if she's answering his call. But then a second later she regretted it because now the pink haired lad is awake.
"Mmm.? Lucy?" Natsu said with half open eyes. "What are you doing? Have you been staring at me while I'm sleeping?"
Annoyed, she decided to pinch his nose and said "thats very cocky of you Salamander"
"Ouch..stop pinching my nose" he said
"Anyway who told you to come in my house and sleep on my bed?" She asked
"Well Happy and I thought that you might be sick so we decided to come visit and play" He said
"Haah? What kind of an idiot would go play in a friend's house if he/she's sick?" Lucy said. "So where's that Happy now?"
"Happy? Well she said that you might have a really big sickness since you were only wearing that in bed so the moment he saw you, he told me that he has to tell everyone to take care of Gray's illness of stripping or something" Natsu said in a matter of fact tone.
"That bratty cat! When I see him I'll teach him a lesson or two" Lucy thought to herself as she imagines the way of how she's planning on torturing the blue cat.
"Yaaawn...So Lucy why are you only wearing a bath towel?" Natsu said as he removes the blanket covering Lucy's body.
"Whaaa-you idiot! what are you doing!?" She said, flustered as she tries to grab the blanket but miserably failed as she fall above Natsu's chest. At that very moment Lucy realizes how broad and muscular Natsu is.
"Hmm..Lucy seems like you're enjoying yourself eh?" Natsu teased without knowing the full meaning of what he said and yet the dear celestial mage was blushing and said "Baka" She was about to get up when suddenly Natsu pulled her on top of him and hugged the blonde tightly but not tight enough to break her.
Surprise by his actions, Lucy tried to get free from his arms when suddenly Natsu said "This might sound really cheesy but can't you hear it? My hearts been beating like crazy because of you" And in response Lucy stayed quiet but she let herself to be buried under his chest as a mean to hide the blush from her face "So...can I assume...that..." Natsu continued as he said it in a whisper like manner "your heart is also beating madly because of me." Making the blonde, blush more crimson and was only able to utter the word "Idiot" Because right now, she could never deny it.
Deny the fact that her heart has been beating madly for Natsu for a long time now, Not when a dragon slayer has inhumane hearing abilities "Lucy" he said.
"Hmmm?"
"Don't go to a place where I can't see you" Natsu said.
Making Lucy silent, silent enough for Natsu to hear clearly Lucy's heart beat.
"Natsu...what if I leave? What will you do?" Lucy asked
"Leave? Why are you leaving me?" Natsu said, shocked and hurt with just the thought of Lucy leaving his side.
"I said What if!?" Lucy said "Just a...possibility"
"I don't know" Natsu said
"Huh?"
"I don't know what to do!" Natsu confidently said "I never thought of a possibility of you leaving my side"
And with just that sentence, Lucy's heart is in the verge of breaking, the wall the she placed there for when the time comes, she can do her duty.
Is easily broken by just a sentence from this dragon slayer. As Lucy tried to stop her tears from falling she hugged Natsu and said "IF that day comes...Natsu I want you to forget everything about me. And find happiness."
Yes, thats it. She did great. That sentence that she's been practicing for many times...Now she was able to say it.
"Find Happiness Natsu"
Even though she knew herself that she'll be the caused of his pain she wants him to find happiness and the person that she thinks...that could give him that happiness is her, Lisanna or so she hope. Even though it will hurt her with just the thought of Natsu being with another girl.
This time, Natsu stood up but was push by Lucy on the bed. "Lucy...what are you saying? What are you trying to say?" The blonde didn't answer instead she just hugged Natsu tightly in her arms, while she can
"Lucy, let me see your face" Natsu said while whispering it to her ears.
...
...
...
"No...I...I don't want Natsu to see my face" She said.
"Lucy...tell me what's wrong?" He asked as he gently pats her head.
"Mm...nothing is wrong, I...I'm just so happy to be with Natsu." She said which is true but the meaning for her tears is another story.
"Then look at me in the eye and smile" Natsu said "You look the best when you smile."
"N-no" Lucy said because she knows that if she did that her tears will fall and she's afraid that she won't be able to stop it.
Unable to keep up with the blonde's stubbornness, Natsu rolled over the bed. This time he's the one pinning her down. "Waah. Natsu what the heck are you doing!" Lucy said as she covers her face but was stop when Natsu grab her hands and she began to kiss her, fingers, hand, arm, and her neck. Unable to take it anymore because every time Natsu kiss her, she feels her skin is burning inside.
"S..Stop it!" Lucy said, as she tries her best to break out of Natsu and with no avail, she failed miserably. What can she do? She's only wearing a bath towel and its always been a fact that men are stronger than women. "I won't stop" He whispered hotly into her ears then suddenly he bit her in the ear. Making the blonde blush like mad and teary at the same time.
"Natsu! Stop! I told you to stop!" She yelled. Thankfully, this time she caught his attention and saw her on the verge of crying.
"Haha, Sorry. I took it to far" Natsu said while laughing "Sheesh. Stop being a bully and get away or else...!" Lucy said, while glaring at the laughing Natsu.
"Hmm.. How about a NO?" Natsu said while smirking "So now what will you do?"
"Kick you to where it hurts the most" She said while glaring at that smirk of his, Oh how she hates it when Natsu smirks at her.
"Try me" He said "Like I'd let you" She knows that with the position she's in, Natsu can easily avoid any kick or punch she does and its frustrating her to death.
"ARGH! This is so frustrating! Will you just get away from me, let me stand up and let me get some clothes! I'm freaking naked here with only a half size bath towel wrap around me." She said "And its freaking cold!"
"If you need some heat then I'm your man" Natsu said still smirking making the blonde snap and said "Thats it!" She grab the pink haired lad and kiss him full on the...
...

...
...
CHEEKS.
and he fainted.
Yup guys it work.
Its just a kiss on the Cheek from Lucy and our heroine is getting all weaky here. Imagine what might happened if Lucy kiss him on the lips, he might be dying now. Then on the speed of light she scurried off to her wardrobe area and dress herself with some clothes before Natsu begin to tease her again. Then as she went out of the wardrobe are and get herself some hot chocolate but as soon as she gets out Natsu was there, waiting for her by the door.
"Sigh. Natsu I don't have the time to play with you" She said. Yes, true enough she doesn't have the time not when today is her last night and she doesn't know if she's lucky that she's spending it with him or not because right now she's wavering. The decisions she chosed and Natsu being here makes her waver.
"Get a grip of yourself, Lucy" She said as she keeps on chanting in her head as if its a charm.
"Lucy tell me. What is wrong?" Natsu said with a worried expression on his face.
"Nothing. I'm fine" She said. 'Yes, I'm fine. I'll be fine'
"Stop lying, there's something you're hiding from me" Natsu angrily said.
"I'm not hiding anything from you so calm down" She said as she went to the kitchen and make him and herself some hot chocolate and damn she's getting good on lying.
"But...!"
"Here" Lucy said as she handed him a cup of hot chocolate "Just calm down and drink it" Unsure of what to do Natsu drank it then suddenly his vision were getting blurry and his head started aching. "Lu..cy wha..is this?" He said as he drop the cup and is now half conscious. Then Lucy bent down and said "I'm sorry Natsu. I'm sorry. But please remember I..."
Natsu tried his best to reach her, as he wipes off the tears falling from Lucy's eyes making the mage cry harder. "Lu...cy"
"Natsu I love you. Forever and for all eternity"
THUNK
And everything around Natsu went blank.
