Natsu felt a slight quiver from the girl atop him. there was silence, but it wasn't their business to care. all they just wanted was to stay in their situation for how long they could ever want and slowly the silence was nullifying every sound. except for one, thump.. thump.. thump.. both had heartbeats- but they could only hear one heart beating. or its as if both heartbeats had synchronized as one.
Lucy arrived at her apartment, exhausted. she just came back from the guild after the news of the battle between fairy tail and Zeref was declared. her chest started to feel a faint ache. maybe it wasn't exhaustion she was feeling after all, she slowly felt herself kneeling onto the floor, what was she feeling? she knew everything was back to normal. she and Natsu achieved getting fairy tail back together.. Natsu. fairy tail. and so that certain notion came back once again. she's been left alone for so long that the company loneliness has given her hasn't left her side. Lucy felt her hands tremble as she felt warm tears drip down from her dreary eyes, she placed her hands on her mouth to silence the pointless weeping. but no matter how hard she tries, she couldn't say it was pointless at all. she considered fairy tail as her family when hers had left her, and she couldn't bear but reminisce.
In the corner of the shades was someone who was to visit her, and now he's found something else. guilt. he's the one responsible of being by her side after all. how can he leave her when he's the person she's expected to catch her or save her at times?
He couldn't bear the sight his eyes are showing him, he finally managed to breathe. "Lucy-" she flinched to hear the familiar voice and quickly wiped her eyes, she stood up, "H-Hey.. I didn't expect you to come here so soon uh- how long have you been there?" she smiled but all Natsu can see is the fake formation her lips were making and that hurts him even more, "Lucy- I- I'm sorry," he managed to say and Lucy has yet to fake to let him know that she also became strong- physically. but she also would not make a fool out of herself. she walked closer to him and placed her hand on his shoulder to reassure him, "Hey, it's not your fault, I- i was just so relieved that everyone's back, so don't apologize" she smiled to let him know that she was also in fact relieved but it was much to take in all at once, "yeah- you're right," he sighed, "see-" Lucy was startled when he felt Natsu's arms around her neck and his body leaning against with her with the warmth she's been longing for.
Lucy felt her eyes dampen again but this time, she knew he was back. she knew he was back and she'd never want him to leave again. just how long would i depend on him? she thought. and it was answered by the pull of Natsu's body onto the bed, securing her above him. "I'd never leave you again.. that I also promise you," and with these words did she thought was her only lifeline and she quivered.
