Yes. ANother story. How irresponsible of me. I just wanted to do a songfic so bad and I was in a car for 15 hours…. I hope it's not too boring. Welp. Here's House of Memories Chapter Uno.
Disclaimer: (Ahhh, something that has not been done in a while) I do not own Fairy Tail or any of its characters, nor do I own the song 'House of Memories'. Or Brendon Urie.
What happened?
He wondered this, sitting quietly in the bath, just like she had every night. It still smelled like her shampoo, if that was even possible. He had run out of the soap long ago, yet he still swears that the scent lingers on the curtains, on the walls, in the water. Almost like it wanted to stay.
What happened?
He pondered this while eating breakfast, the meal she would always nag him about.
"Don't forget breakfast, Natsu! You won't have any energy for the day without it." He really wished he could say he remembered her voice, that he could hear it, but that was a lie. What it sounded like was lost on him, and that's what terrified him the most.
What happened?
He asked this question while laying in bed, staring at that picture of her that he still kept on his nightstand. He had accidently taken it while she asked him to hold her camera, and of course he wasn't as talented in photography as her, yet he still loved how natural it looked. He loved staring at her grinning, laughing face. Maybe if he looked at the photo long enough, he would remember the sound of her laugh, and the sweet bliss it gave him each time the sound hit his ears.
But no matter how much he stared the broken frame, she didn't laugh. She didn't smile. She didn't speak. She didn't come back to him.
What happened.
Every memory he had with her seemed to turn into imagination. It was almost as if it had never happened, and it had all just been a too real dream. One of them that you wake up from confused with reality. Yet dreams shouldn't linger with you every second of the day. Dreams shouldn't make your heart ache each time you think of them.
They should be like how he felt when he was with her: so happy, so carefree. Natsu was positive anything could have been done with her by his side, and he knew she felt the same way.
Or it least she had.
Now all he could do was try and ban those thoughts from his mind. They filled him with a sense of nostalgia that ate away his chest and made his hands shake.
What happened?
That question was what he asked himself no matter where he was. Yet no matter how often Natsu thought about it, he couldn't get an answer. What had happened? He wasn't entirely sure, it had been so long now. They say time can never break your heart, but it can take the pain away. Yet, if that is true, then why is it with each passing day, each hour, his heart shattered more and more. As if the mere memory of Lucy was a bomb that went off every minute she wasn't there.
Natsu had always thought that there was not an emptier feeling than that of being single. Yet no matter who he was with, where he was, he learned that it is being in love that really teaches you what lonely feels like.
And now he understood why Igneel told him to never fall in love.
If you're a lover, you should know
The lonely moments just get lonelier
The longer you're in love
Than if you were alone.
Memories turn into daydreams become a taboo
