Arcane: Well! The story "I Hope You Realize, Natsu Dragneel" was meant to be a one-shot and not to be continued since, it was based on real events in my life however, you guys seem to want more so I've decided to write more! All of this is based off my life and how I feel so please understand that this isn't fake, although some parts I fixed so that it fits the plot of Fairy Tail better. I don't own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters, all rights go to Hiro Mashima, and I only own this plot!
I Hope You Realize, Natsu Dragneel: Chapter 2
Lucy was at her home sitting quietly, as she waited for her boyfriend to contact her. He was away on a mission so he was supposed to contact her via Lacrima but she had yet to see one from him. She sighed and rubbed her hand against the smooth side of the Lacrima.
When is he gonna call? Lucy thought sadly.
"Luceeee!" She heard a voice call out excitedly.
She smiled down at the Lacrima gleefully.
"Natsu! How have you been? Is it nice there in Crocus?" Lucy grinned.
"Yes it is! They have the best-"
Then Natsu stopped and stared hard at something. "One second Luce, Lisanna is calling me."
"O-Oh... okay.." Lucy smiled painfully.
Natsu smiled then he disappeared. Lucy almost let the Lacrima roll out of her hand after he hung up. Her eyes were tearing, and she started to sniffle. She went back into her house and sat on the bed, completely crushed by the events that just occurred.
"W-... W-... WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lucy sobbed.
She buried her face in her pillow and let the sobs and screams pour out. All the grief and pain that she had held in was being released.
She crawled under her blankets shakily and cried. Then after a few minutes, he called back. Lucy quickly rubbed her eyes on her blanket, took a few deep breathes and tried to make herself look decent.
"Lucyyy? I'm back!" Natsu said, like a child.
"B-Boo!" Lucy stuttered.
"Nice try Lucy but you know you can't scare me anymore!" He grinned triumphantly.
Lucy smiled bitterly but he didn't seem to notice.
"I'll be back after a few days alright Lucy? Then I'll take you to our favorite spot, and we'll have a picnic!" Natsu grinned adorably. (Now, my boyfriend and I have a long distance relationship so keep in mind he never said this to me.)
"Okay! Hurry and finish that job so that we can have our picnic!" Lucy said as tears leaked from her eyes.
"L-Lucy! Why are you crying?" He panicked.
She touched her face in shock. Sure enough, a few tears had leaked out. But Lucy just smiled.
"C-Cause I'm so happy!" Lucy laughed.
Natsu grinned. They said their goodbyes and hung up. As soon as he disappeared, her smile dropped and she let the hot tears race down her face.
She walked numbly back to the guild. As soon as she walked in her guild members welcomed her back. She smiled as brightly as she could before searching for one of her best friends, Gray Fullbuster. She spotted him at a table with Juvia.
"G-Gray?" Lucy sniffled.
Gray laughed and then turned toward her. His smile dropped as soon as he saw her expression.
"Lu..cy?" Gray said as his eyebrows scrunched together.
He walked up, and grasped her wrist gently before pulling her outside, under the tree. They sat down and he looked at her gently.
"Lucy... what's wrong?" Gray asked softly.
"I-I..." Lucy hiccuped.
"You can say it Lucy, it's okay." Gray smiled.
"The other day you asked me why I was so upset. Remember yesterday, Natsu asked to talk to me alone when you and Lisanna were talking?" Lucy whispered.
"Yes I remember." Gray frowned.
"He was angry at me because I told him I hated Lisanna. And he told me he was just trying to help her and that Lisanna was cutting herself and threatening to suicide. And he asked me if I would have just left her. I told him no. But Levy asked me a question. She said, 'How do you even know Lisanna is telling the truth? You don't know if she's cutting or if she wants to die. The way she acts, she sounds fine.'" Lucy frowned sadly.
"...There is a big possibility she isn't. There are many people in this world who pull the same trick. I honestly think Natsu is much too gullible, to believe something like that." Gray observed.
"I thought so... It isn't just me being full of it right?" Lucy sniffled.
"No, not at all. I would be upset if Juvia started getting comfortable with another guy." Gray agreed.
"That's how I feel. But I don't want to tell him because I don't want to start a fight." Lucy sighed.
"He thinks that you don't find him as interesting as you did before. I mean I understand that you want to hang out with Levy-Chan, because you want some girl time. I think Natsu's just insecure. Probably because he's surprised he was able to get an amazing girl like you. So he feels insecure about having you." Gray inferred.
"I second that thought." Lucy whispered.
"I think he cares about you but he cares a little too much maybe. He's just really protective." Gray smiled.
"I... I see..." Lucy frowned.
"I still think that it isn't right for him to do that to you but... I think you're misunderstanding his reasons." Gray said.
"You're... You're right Gray. Thank you for the talk Gray." Lucy smiled.
"No, no it's my pleasure to help you! I'm glad you came to talk to me." Gray smiled.
Then they both went their separate ways. Lucy sagged when she got home.
"Gray understands me better than Natsu does..." Lucy sighed.
Natsu... when will you realize that Lisanna isn't playing innocent anymore? She's trying to break us apart. Even when you promised that you wouldn't let anything hurt me, you wouldn't let anyone or anything break us apart... why are you letting this get between us? Every single day I feel as if we are drifting further and further apart. It hurts Natsu, it hurts to know that I could lose you. That another girl is trying her hardest to beat me. I'm tired of fighting Natsu. I'm tired of crying and hurting because of this. But I can't let her beat me. Obviously that's what she wants right? So I can't give up. I can't stop fighting. So I'll keep fighting, so that I don't lose to her. And I'll wait for the day that you push her away and realize she's not playing nice anymore. Realize that every time she does something, it stabs a knife deeper and deeper into my heart.
Arcane: I think I made a mistake and the chapters don't make sense together as a story but this is what actually happened a day after. It's not supposed to make sense as a story I guess.
