Hey all! Welcome to Life On Tour! For those of you who are joining me for the first time, this is continuation from the story The Mages so please check that out first before you read this otherwise none of this will make sense! Thank you to all of you who have read my work so far it really means a lot that you want to read more of it!
Anyway please see below The Mages Part 2 aka Life On Tour! Hope you enjoy and I hope you didn't mind the two week wait!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Fairy Tail. The awesomeness that is Hiro Mashima does! I just own the ideas in my head!
I am all alone and the silence is deafening. I am lying on my sofa, in my apartment that I have not seen in three months. The reason? I am in a successful band called 'The Mages' with my three best friends and I have just been on a three month tour with an extremely popular boy band called 'All Fired Up'. The tour was a major success except for one small flaw.
I fell in love….
That's right. I fell in love with none other than Natsu Dragneel. The hot sex god that is the front singer and guitarist of 'All Fired Up'. We were friends right off the mark and it developed into a wonderful relationship, until the tour ended and reality settled in, making me realise that I couldn't be with him since we would never see each other. I made myself believe that we would never work because we needed to focus on our careers and having a long distance relationship was not going to work. So in a moment of weakness and cowardliness, I wrote him a letter explaining that I couldn't let my heart break again after falling in love while in a relationship that was doomed to fail once the tour was over.
I have been crying for the past hour or so as soon as I walked in the door. Partially because the tour had just finished but mainly because I had just broken up with Natsu who I was head over heels in love with.
But here he is after banging on the door for over ten minutes straight, making sure that I would answer the door. Damn his persistent nature! Right now he is standing in front of me, all six foot of toned muscle, bright pink hair -which he swears blind is salmon coloured- holding my letter in his hand and a pissed off look on his face.
I am standing in front of him a complete blubbering mess. My clothes are worn and wrinkled from lying crippled on the sofa, my hair straggly, my make up running down my face to go with big bloodshot eyes from crying and darkened panda eyes from lack of sleep from the night before from my revelation. I stand there shocked to see him here of all places. I thought that he would respect my wishes and leave me be. But of course this is Natsu. He never listens to anyone.
"Natsu…" I manage to whimper out.
He holds out the letter in front of me. "What the fuck is this!"
I try and hold my own but my resolve starts to crumble as more tears start to roll down my already sodden cheeks.
Natsu tries again "What the fuck is this Luce" He tries again slower hoping I would register the words somehow.
I try to answer him again. "A letter" I answer and Natsu is seething. Great Lucy! Smart comments are not going to get you anywhere with this guy!
He steadies himself. "I can see that. But why did you write it?"
Manners get the best of me as I realise that he is still standing outside my hallway, probably where everyone else in the building can hear us talking. I open the door wider and step aside. "Do you want to come in Natsu?"
Knowing that the question is rhetorical, he doesn't answer and walks in. I shut and lock the door as Natsu stands in my living room still holding the letter upright in front of him. He waits for me to join in the living room before he continues.
"Well?"
And I can't bring myself to tell him. I look at him and I see the hurt in his eyes and I realise…..he is just as hurt as me. He doesn't want this relationship to end, just like I don't. Seeing him here in my living room wondering why I'm breaking up with him shows what a coward I really am.
"I wrote it all in the letter" I say a little louder.
This was clearly not the answer Natsu was looking for.
"No. I want to hear it from your mouth. Not in some crummy letter. That is not who you are Luce. You do not take the cowards way out and break up with someone in a fucking letter. You have the decency to tell them in person because that is who you are. That is the Luce that I know and love."
I stand there in silence stunned. He wants me to break up with him in person?! What kind of sick person is he! Does he want to drive the stake further into my heart! Doesn't he realise that I will crumble if I do so!
"I…I…." I start but my tears start all over again.
"You see Luce. If you wanted to break up with me, you would have the guts to tell me face to face and you would not be crying right now! Tell me for real why do you say that you want this relationship to end when you clearly don't!" Wow this guy knows me so well.
I eventually calm myself down and start to talk. "Because it wont work long distance. I've been there and done that. It doesn't work."
There you go Lucy. Keep going.
"I don't think that my heart will be able to take you and I having a long distance relationship. I would want to call you every day. I would want to check up on what you are doing daily. I would get paranoid that you may be cheating behind my back. That I would be all wrong for you and change into a different person that I was on the tour. I would not be able to take that I am in a relationship with a guy that I will never see." There. I've said it. It all comes flooding out of me and I feel like a huge wedge has been taken off my shoulders in those few sentences. Now Natsu knows what I feel. I cover my face in my hands to try and stop myself from crying anymore. I am so sick of crying but I cant stop it!
"What makes you think that we won't see each other Luce?" He asks so calmly that it causes me to look up from my face in my hands to him in surprise. Why is he talking about this so calmly?
"Natsu… After the album launch, I will be going on tour again with the girls for six months straight and I will be so busy that I'm scared that I won't have time for you anymore. I don't want to be in that kind of relationship with you." I explain.
"But there are technologies meaning that we can see each other every day. I know it won't be the same, but we can Skype, text, call… the list is endless and honestly, if you're not the one calling all of the time, I will be."
I laugh at Natsu's comment. Only he can make me laugh when I'm sad.
"Please give us another shot Luce. I love you and you love me. We told each other enough times last night that we did so we can't deny it. There is always a way to see each other. Gii-chan said that we can visit you on tour and visa versa." He says walking towards me. I steel myself off but I don't move away when he ends up standing in front of me. He cups my head in his hand and I revel in his warm touch that has kept me company all of this time.
"I promised you that we would find a way and we will. I promised you that I will never let you go and I am a man of my word. I always keep my promises. I have not broken one yet in my life and I don't intend to start now….please Luce. Give us another try." Natsu pleads.
"I…just don't know. I want to…so badly. But I don't want to get hurt and miss you so much that we argue and then break up from the distance."
"Luce… Think of it this way. It's only six months. You do get holidays in between and you will get a few months afterwards off to relax before you go through all of this again with songwriting sessions and recording for the next album. Believe me. Ive done this type of tour before."
The proximity is too much as he looks me directly in the eyes pleading for my last bit of resolve to break. I can feel his breath on me as his warm touch radiates on my face magically drying whatever tears I have on my face.
"Please…Now that I've met you, I can't live without you. I love you" He pleads.
With that statement the last of my resolve breaks and I rush my lips to his reclaiming them as my own with as much love and passion as I can.
We break for a second to gather our breath. It's long enough for me to take my chance. I nod. "Okay"
With that he kisses me again and we are lost to the world once more.
Say hello to chapter 1! For those of you who carried on from The Mages - you know that I would not keep Natsu and Lucy apart for long! Hope you thought that they didn't get back together too soon. i love my Nalu too much to keep them apart for long!
