Natsu looked down at his hands again with the same expressionless stare.
"Why won't you just do something!"
He thought to himself for the thirty-seventh time that day. His mind yearend to feel the warm powerful feeling shoot through him when he was all powered up but that had stopped. It was gone for good. the outcome of his last battle sent him and the others into a parallel world and he couldn't use any of his powers. on top of that nobody seemed to remember a thing or each other, they all had grown into their lives here as if nothing was missing. He had yet to find a way to somehow get close to anyone and convince them they were all magical beings that belonged somewhere else.
Although he himself was on the brink of insanity he didn't want to mess up with his delivery. One wrong move and he could lose them forever if they wrote him off as some crazed pink haired comic book freak who spent too much time online. Natsu finally stopped punching the brick wall of his small two bedroom apartment when he heard loud Knocks at his door.
Nastu
I walked to the front door not bothering the wipe the blood off of my bruised fists, they burned. That was as close as I was ever getting to having them be ignited with my own fire. I twisted the knob and swung the door open carelessly to be met with the delivery girl holding a bag of my usual order.
"Hey mr Dragneel" she greeted in her soft voice, she sounded a bit flustered trying to hold the food up in her hands while getting out the receipt. I noted her uniform had changed this week from the jeans and a simple red polo to a skirt and a tank top. She was slowly starting to dress more like her other self everyday but it was false hope. She doesn't know me. She calls me " " for crying out loud. She finally managed to hand me the receipt and pen, I signed it and gave her a subtle fake smile.
"Are you alright ? Your order is much smaller today" she asked holding her arm up for me to take the food. I wrapped in fist around it and held it there.
"Yeah I use to have a wicked appetite but it's slowly going down now that I don't use as much energy" I explained to her. Her eyes were locked on my fist holding the bag still. I slowly pulled it back realizing it looked like I was about to punch her, I reached into my pocket for my last twenty and handed it to her. Her eyes were now locked on both of my hands "thank you Lucy, you can keep the change" I told her cheerily so she wouldn't keep gawking.
She looked at me confused clearly I wasn't supposed to know her name oh well I'll just say I guessed. " I may be over stepping but are you alright your fists are all busted up did you get into a fight ?"
"No...yes but just with myself" that earned me a more frazzled expression than her last. She took the receipt back and quickly wrote something down on it before handing it back to me.
"I get bruised a lot to that's some stuff that should help with your bruising but a doctor has to prescribe the second thing" she babbled checking her watch now in a hurry. She bolted down the hall and put the door without turning back, shaking my head I waked back inside And set my food down on the counter.
"Geez I need to buy some real utensils and cups" of course the cupboards were empty the last thing I wanted to do was eat with my bloody hands.
"Be right back ha-" I stopped once I realized that he was gone as well. I grabbed my coat and stormed out of the building beginning the ten minute walk to the local store for some more napkins and plastic forks. It was somewhat chilly out today...
