Day 2
Lisanna's POV:
After last night I couldn't help but smile, some people even looked a bit freaked out by me but I just too happy.
"Well, aren't you happy today?" Mira asked from the counter.
"Yes I am" I happily answered.
"Any reason why?" She asked mischievously.
"Not really" I lied, even if nothing had happened to me they still wouldn't be happy with me leaving so late at night.
At that moment master came down and walked on the counter to our side. "Mira, Lisanna, I need one of you to go to Natsu's cave and deliver his food"
"I'll go mas-"Mira said but being interrupted by a slightly too loud outburst from me.
"LET ME GO, I mean, I should go Mira-nee already has enough work" I said.
"Are you sure? It's quite dangerous" master asked.
"Don't worry, it's Natsu he wouldn't hurt me" I answered.
"It's not hurting you what I'm worried he'll do" Mira said as a pitch black aura surrounded her and crushing a glass cup she had been cleaning and calming down after a few seconds.
"H-he won't do that either even if it if mating season" I said with a blush.
"Very well, Mira will give you his food" He said signaling Mira to give me his food.
After getting the box that contained his food, which was a lot by the way there was enough to feed a small village, I set off to his cave I couldn't wait to see him again.
"Natsu, I'm back" I said hoping he would answer even though he probably would be too enraged from the mating season to do so.
"Lisanna is that you" he said as I neared the cave.
"Natsu you're normal" I said amazed.
"Yeah, I am, maybe the mating season isn't affecting me anymore"
"Maybe, I'll go tell the others" I said turning around and starting to run back to the guild.
"WAIT, LISANNA" Natsu screamed.
"What is it Natsu?" I said turning around to see a blushing Natsu looking right at me with pleading eyes.
"I-if you tell them they'll want to throw me a party for my birthday and then we won't be alone like now" He said embarrassedly.
He wants to be alone with me? I questioned myself as I also started to blush but found the determination to continue because I wanted to be with him just as much even if we didn't share the same feelings.
"Ok Natsu, it'll be our secret" I said happily.
"T-thanks" He said with a lowered head.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I brought your food" I said showing him the box.
"REALLY?" He asked joyfully quickly lifting up his head.
"Really" I said laughing as I opened the box to see all the different types of meat there, I also had brought a fork and knife to feed him, I picked the fork and used it to pick up the first thing in the box and lifted it up to his face. He seemed confused about what I was doing but he soon caught up and opened his mouth and dropped the food into his mouth letting him eat it.
"Thank you" He said.
"What kind of wife would I be if I didn't help you with this" I said without thinking about my words causing an awkward silence between the two of us.
"It's been a while since we played that hasn't it?" He asked.
"Y-yeah, if you want I'll stop" I said while hoping he wouldn't hate me for calling myself his wife even though he had Lucy.
"I don't mind" He said surprisingly. "It just surprised"
"B-but I thought you would be angry"
"Angry? Why would I be angry?" he asked.
"B-because you're already with Lucy" I said, tears almost falling from my eyes.
"Lucy? I'm not together with her" He said while laughing.
"You aren't?"I asked surprised.
"No, she's just my best friend" He said.
"B-but I thought I was your best friend" I managed to get out, tears threatening to fall and my heart almost split in half.
"Lisanna" He called me with a serious look. "You mean more to me than just a best friend, because I… I…"
"Lisanna, are you still there?" Mira asked interrupting Natsu.
I looked at Natsu, wiping off my tears, and said. "I'll come back tonight" to which he just nodded in understanding.
"I'm here" I said running towards Mira.
"Lisanna, what took you so long? We were worried" She asked.
"Sorry I lost track of time" I apologized.
"Ok, let's go" She said.
Natsu's POV:
Damn Mira. I thought, I had been so close, I had almost told her. Maybe next time I'll have better luck, I just have to wait for the right time.
I remembered what Gildarts had once told me about girls, I hadn't paid him much mind since he was well Gildarts but I remember him saying something about the mood, I would have to watch out for that.
Lisanna's POV:
Once again it was almost 10PM and I had once again I had been able to sneak away and was now on my way to Natsu, but while on my way there I couldn't stop thinking about what he had said.
"You mean more to me than just a best friend, because I… I…"
Before I realized I had already reached the cave, with his words still on mind and a smile on my face I entered to see him again.
"Lisanna, you there?" He asked.
"Yep" I simply answered.
"Lucky, when master brought dinner he almost found out I was back to normal" He said with a relieved sigh as I sat next to him.
"Why not just tell him?" I asked.
"W-well because then I wouldn't be able to be alone like this with you" He answered with a blush, his words making me blush myself.
"We can just talk alone later" I said.
"We spent so long without talking to each other, well we didn't even see each other for a few years"
His words were true and filled with pain I could notice it in his voice, those years with seeing one another really had taken their toll on us.
"But now we're together again and we're once again a family" He said interrupting my train of thought.
"Of course" I agreed.
"Sorry you had to spend all that time alone" He apologized.
"There's nothing to be sorry for"
"Yes there is, if I had just gone with you on that mission maybe I would have been able to help you"
"You couldn't have known Natsu, what matters is that I'm here now and we have all the time in the world to hang out.
"Thanks Lisanna"
"Well I should get going" I said as I got up gave him a quick kiss on the cheek making us both blush. "Bye, Natsu"
"Same time tomorrow?" He asked.
"Sure" I answered.
"Bye, Lisanna"
I walked the cave and as soon as I was out of sight I immediately fell to my knees. He really did miss me all those years.
The thought of being with Natsu as a family like when we were kids warmed me up on the inside. Maybe we could still be together like that.
