Little snippets of a story I came up with while I was lost in my thoughts.
Might seem depressing, but I actually think of it as inspirational
Enjoy and leave a review!
Pure Unadulterated Love
-: :-
Her mother used to tell her about princes who sweep lovely princesses like her off their feet.
Because they Love Love Love these beautiful girls.
A small Lucy looks quizzically at her, wondering what the foreign yet so overused word means.
"Love is pure,"
It's ironic how she doesn't feel it, between the age when the only person who cares about her leaves her world and Fairy Tail enters it.
Death is not pure.
-: :-
Some nights, Lucy would curl up in a ball in the middle of her bathtub. The water falling on her back feels like little needles piercing her skin. She would start by sitting, but the constant pressure of the stream of water on her thighs would become unbearable.
She never cried, there was nothing sad enough to cry about. There was only longing.
Her hand would open, her palm facing the ceiling, and her fingers would stretch in front of her, searching for something non-palpable-
Water keeps falling, but not her tears.
-: :-
Juvia's love for Grey seems childish. A foolish infatuation built on an unstable foundation.
When she asks her about it, the water mage's answer is so simple.
"Love is when it's pouring inside Juvia's heart, but not above Juvia's head."
The passion in her words tugs at her heart, and she thinks;
Maybe, maybe she could be in Juvia's place.
How she yearns to love as passionately, as strongly.
-: :-
Sure, she wanted to fall in love, to experience the erratic thumping of her heart against the cage separating it from the world.
But more importantly, she wanted to quench the insatiable thirst to be loved.
-: :-
Erza is fierce.
A warrior whose scars only serve as a reminder of the battles won.
She expects an answer just as passionate as the red of her hair;
"Love saves you."
-: :-
She moves into a new place.
The rent is cheaper, the bed gets bigger,
Her illusions convince her that she might come home to someone warming it for her.
It's only her partner and his blue cat
He just had to be named Happy
-: :-
"Say Natsu, what's love for you?"
He contemplates the ceiling, and she almost regrets asking him. He was Natsu, he was a man of action, not of thought.
She sees his lips moving almost imperceptibly in the darkness of her room.
"Love is home."
But the brute was always full of surprises.
-: :-
The dates are expensive, but she feels cheap.
They try to sneak into her bed uninvited but the beating of her heart is oh so dull;
They never make it past the doorstep.
-: :-
"Quit coming into my bed, you have your own waiting for you in your house."
"But Lucy, I may have a house, but you're my home."
He holds her against him, thinking that he is stopping her from escaping his teasing hold.
The looks in her eyes tells him that something's different. Something has shifted.
She doesn't push him off the mattress,
She buries her face in his chest and holds him. He doesn't realize that his fingers are drawing soothing circles on her back until she sobs.
She pours her heart out.
-: :-
The change is gradual,
The noise doesn't come from her neighbors above her but the thump thump thump in her ears is her heart almost leaping out of her chest.
Natsu looks at her, fire in his eyes and dancing on the tip of his fingers.
No one warms her bed for her,
Her bed is always burning.
"Love is fire"
