Sunshine & Summer
(Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail or Happy for that matter but he does owe me some fish X3)
(Warning: Calm Natsu (O.o), vague mentions of canon character death, bad grammar and general mischaracterization, and an … emo kid Natsu (o.o)
"Maybe when we get older …. I should be your bribe?"
"Wh …What the heck do you think you're saying?!!!"
Natsu hummed, softly. His usually bright eyes dim. But not in a lifeless way, he usually flared up aura was clam. His whole essences was –for once, at totally peace.
It was strange that he was so at peace. Seeing as what day it was. He should be in his room, locked up, hiding under the bed sheets. Refusing to eat or speak, or act anything remotely like the happy, upbeat boy he always was. Like all those years ago …
(He could remember that day, only loosely. He allowed the details of that tragic event to slip out his of his hand like grains of precious time glass sand. He could remember someone calling it a coping mechanism or something like that.)
(He could remember giving everyone quite a scare, however, later the following week.)
Come on, Nastu-baka! Fight me!
I don't want too!
Oh! Come one, Nastu-baka! Just one round!
Shut up! And leave me alone!
-A moment of silence brought on by shock-
Well, geez!
-A few footsteps, moments of guilty, seeing a casual glance thrown at him, an attempt to speak-
If you need me, I'll be here.
(During that painful week were he refused to be … Nastu, the guild had been quiet and painfully so. Fights between Mirajane and Ezra were now rare and sorely missed.)
Brat! Open up!
-A forced enter, a impatient person and tone-
Brat? Yo, brat? Are you o.k.?
-A different more caring tone, a scared boy, and tears-
Brat….
(But what he remembers most of all was the words that Mira-nee told him –ones that were delivered in tears.)
We need to get through this, Asshole! We can't let her see us like this!
-Shared pain, a cry, and heartwarming declaration-
But I-
You loved her, Natsu, and … I did too.
He could fell silent tears running down his cheek but still held a bright grin in place.
Haha! I bet you're laughing at me right now!
Crying like this …
I shouldn't be crying…
But if I am….
Then are these tears of happiness?
And with a stained cheek, Natsu smiled warmly at the sky.
For some bizarre reason, he could feel the sun smile just as warmly back at him.
AN: Aww, Natsu. I couldn't help but feel sort of weird when I wrote this, seeing as I never had the opportunity (?) to feel like Nastu did yet I felt strangely at sad at the middle of this piece.
Anyway, despite the feeling or lack of flow, I liked this piece, which is strange because I am such a big Gray/Natsu fan . But after seeing (and reading) the Chapter Special, I just couldn't resist doing a Lisana/Nastu fic, which this is. (Lol)
I originally planned for Natsu to be a lot angsty but Natsu doesn't seem to be the one to let his depression rule him, so he is understand coming to grips with what happened (and that he also had nothing to do with it.)
Lisana/Natsu's relationship was pretty airy, so I might up writing more for this couple than test fic after all.
Well, Read and Review! (The italics are flash-backs/thoughts by the way but I am sure you already knew that.)
Addition added at 6:03 am : I just realized I spelt Nastu's name wrong originally! Gomen!
