So... This story was supposed to be a oneshot but you guys asked for more...
I really was not expecting that ;w; Thank you all so much.
I did this again real quick and it's really short but I'll try to make things interesting..! Enjoy!
Everyone was being as rowdy as ever, but a few people silenced down when Natsu entered the guild.
"Natsu, welcome back!" Happy tried to say joyfully.
Everyone knew where he went, and some even bet their rent money that he cried. His eyes were a little red, marking a victory for the people who got their bet right, but instead of being happy that their guess was spot on, it just hit them hard that he was that down that Lucy was gone... Natsu's a big part of the life of the guild, starting fights and all.
"Now that I think about it, I miss Lucy too.." was a thought that was going around a lot in pretty much the whole town right now.
Although, Natsu, who had the chance to see her one last time, knows that he has to keep his promise.
He lifted his head to the blue cat, trying to grin like his usual self, before Lucy died.
"I'm home! Want to go on a new job, Happy?"
The exceed flew backwards a little, surprised. For the past year, he'd been really down, sometimes changing to aggressive when he heard her name. For the first few weeks, it can be considered normal, but after a few months, he was the only one that still refused to accept that she was gone.
No that's wrong.. It was just that he didn't want to face the facts. But when the anneversary of her death came, he didn't really have a choice but to stop running away from it.
Might as well be the first thing that Natsu Dragneel ran away from; his beloved one's death.
Although Happy shook his head abd tried to stay well.. 'Happy'.
"Em... Yeah..! W-where are we going?" he asked.
"I dunno... Let's ask Lu..!" he stopped, knowing who he was about to call.
Lucy.
He would ask her if the board had any interesting jobs, and if she had checked them out yet.
He turned to Mira after a moment of hesitation.
"Mirajane! Is there any request for any of us?"
There was a small silence before the model took out a big book to see all the requests they had gotten.
"Well, um, there was this one request that came for you, Gray, Erza and... Um.."
she was about to say Lucy. It showed. She was looking for someone's else's name to call.
"H-happy, but since you um.."
'since you went to see Lucy'
"S-since you went out, Gray and Erza set off with Juvia and Gageel." she smiled. Or at least she tried to, hoping that Natsu still was the insensitive blockhead he was, according to Lucy when she was mad at him.
And he was.
"Hm. I see. Anything else just for me then?"
"Ah... Well.. No, not really." she said, glancing under the table.
"Mira, what did you just glance at."
She flinched. Not as much as a blockhead, then.
"Eh? Oh, nothing special now." she giggled nervously.
"Hm.. Well alright then." He turned around and started walking towards to board.
Mira sighed. "Actually... It's... Well it's from Lucy's father."
Those words stopped him in his tracks. Her father? What the shit could her father send while being dead?
"It was sent a little but before his death, and... Well you should read it." her hand went under the table to take out a small letter. "It says it's for his daughter's friends."
Natsu reached out to take it but someone else took it before him.
Erza.
"You... probably won't be able to read it by yourself anyways, Natsu." she said.
"Erza..! And the others..! You guys are back!" Mirajane greeted them, glancing over Titania's shoulder.
Except for Gageel walking away, Gray and Juvia were oddly silent. They were... Well Juvia wasn't drooling on Gray like usual. In fact they were pretty far from each other and avoiding gazes.. Mira tilt her head, wondering what could have possibly happened.
"Erza. Give it back." Natsu growled at her.
"Relax, I'm gonna read it out loud, and I'll gladly let you keep it later."
He kept growling, but he loosened up a little as she cleared her throat.
"Ah... To the great guild of Fairy Tail.
Thank you for taking care of my daughter so well, something that I... Couldn't do.
I have learned for the past seven years of being in this small trading guild, why Lucy ran away from me in the first place. Now that I think of it, I probably would've done the same thing as her.
Although, I am not ashamed of my past self, because no matter what I am me, and that was part of me.
I will not say that I have changed, because I still consider myself me.
Although... Now... As my condition is getting worse, and I'm getting doubts that my daughter is still alive.. Horrible thing to do, I know.
But I know also that no matter wheter I worry or not about her safety, that my faith fades or stays, I am aware that you, Fairy Tail, her family will be there for her.
I know that I don't even need to ask you to do this, but please hear this last, selfish request from an old man..
Please do take care of my daughter.
I doubt that my death will make any changes in her life, but you all, have changed her life forever...
And I want to thank you for that.
There is... Something that I would ask you all do to, if she is not with you anymore.
Please, burn our... Home."
Soo… I hope you guys like it!
