Hey guys! I finally decided to publish my one-shots! Yay!
I tried to make it as good as possible. It's not counting as a Halloween one-shot because it's not scary... it's just sad... *sob* I hope you are going to like my one-shots.
Enjoy!
The job was finally done. The monster was fallen to the ground, unable to move.
"Good job, Sagittarius!", Lucy smiled as her pain let her. That monster was hard to beat and she was hurt. "Natsu, let's go!"
She heard a faint groan and turned her head.
Natsu was paralyzed to the ground. His chest was deeply stabbed, covered in blood. His eyes were half-closed, and all he could do was groan in response.
"Natsu, are you okay?", Lucy said, as she ran to her injured friend.
She tried to stop the bleeding, but with no success. He could barely lift his finger. He lost too much blood already.
"Natsu, don't worry, you'll be fine, I promise!", Lucy said, trying to smile.
Natsu sadly smirked as much as his injuries let him. He tried to say something, then his eyes closed. His always warm hand ran cold and his face paled. Lucy froze in her spot.
"N-Natsu...?", she whispered in panic and put her head on his chest to verify his heartbeat. She heard a few slow beats, then nothing as his heart stopped.
"Natsu?"
He didn't respond. She gently slapped his cheeks.
"Natsu, say something! Open your eyes!", she screamed, tears forming in her eyes.
He didn't move. He didn't groan. Her only response was her hurt echo in the painful, deadly silence.
"Natsu!"
Her voice started cracking. Her hands started shaking, tears rolling on her cheeks and fall down on the ground as she silently sobbed.
"NATSU!", Lucy cried out loud.
She closed her eyes, then opened them again, hoping she will see his happy grin again and see his deep,onyx eyes sparkling in the dark.
But he was not smiling. His eyes were closed.
The wide smile that always brightened her day was gone. Instead, a sad ghost of a smirk was facing her, covered in blood, mixed with her tear drops.
Lucy let her head fall on his chest as she started crying in pain.
Natsu was gone.
And he was not coming back to her again.
Lucy shot her eyes open and screamed. Tears were sliding down her cheeks as she sat on her bed.
"N-Natsu?", she said, her voice still shaking while looking around for him.
"Mhm?"
She heard a groan. Not the same painful and hurt groan she heard before. His peaceful, sleepy and slightly annoyed groan.
Lucy looked to her side to face a partially sleeping Natsu, who was rubbing his eyes and yawning.
He was waked up by her scream.
As soon as his blurry vision cleared, he met Lucy's gaze.
"Lucy? Are you okay? Why are you crying?", he said, instantly getting worried.
Lucy tried to smile as she stared into his eyes. How happy she was she could see them again!
Natsu stroke her cheek, wiping her tears away.
"Lucy, why are you crying?", he whispered, his eyes softening. He didn't like to see her crying.
Lucy didn't respond; she just let herself collapse in his arms as she started crying. She tried to hold his hands, while her own were trembling.
"Did you have a bad dream?", Natsu asked, gently stroking her hair.
Lucy nodded.
"What was it about?"
She closed her eyes. The images ran through her mind.
Natsu, covered in blood, severely injured. His eyes closed. His heartbeat stopping. His face paling, and his body running out cold.
"I-I thought you... died...", she mumbled between sobs.
His eyes softened as a smile spread on his face. He stroke her cheeks, holding her close to him.
"You know I won't die, silly", he smiled. "You sure are a weirdo, dreaming of me dying... If I would've been in your dream, I would've kicked the crap out of whoever killed me! Now stop crying, you know I don't like to see you crying by your own... you just make me sad too..."
Lucy lifted her head and looked into his eyes, her lips curving into a smile.
She knew he couldn't be gone like that. Her dragon slayer can't die that easily... That's Natsu.
"Why are you in my bed again?", she said, smiling at his embarrassed face.
"Umm... Just passing by...?", he said, scratching the back of his head.
Lucy giggled as she hugged him again.
That was her Natsu.
He wasn't dead. He wasn't injured.
He was smiling at her. The only smile that always brightened her day
His eyes were sparkling as always.
Natsu was alive, by her side.
Hey guys, I hope you liked my first one-shot. Lots of fluff, huh? G'Night!
