CHAPTER 3
NATSU POV
-Natsu?
I looked up, only realizing that moment that I was staring at the counter for a long time by now.
-Oh , hi Lisanna. What's up?
-Came to see if you were ok, you were kind of daydreaming you know - the white haired girl giggles- and that's not really your style.
- Is that so?
Even my voice sound weird, I need to fix that, I don't need anyone to see more of that sadness I'm feeling.
-Yes it is. Do you mind if I seat here? - She pointed out a chair by his side on the main counter of the guild.
-Not at all, and you don't need to ask me something like that ,you know.
-I'll try to remember that - she said while sitting- So, what's the matter?
- What do you mean? I'm not being troubled by anything - why am I lying to myself? Of couse I am, and she's gonna notice you baka!
I tryed to outwit her looking at the picture that was hanging on the wall behind the counter. It was took right after Lisanna came home. Everyone was happy with the sudden appearance of the long dead girl, who was found alive after all that crazy shit that happened on Edolas. In the photograph me and Lucy were side by side, she with her right arm over my shoulder and my left arm over hers, while Happy was sitting where our arms were intertwined, and everyone of the guild was there having a good time too. It was so nice, having my old best friend back and my most precious companion by my side. At least that moment Luce was by his side.
The girl notices my look, and oh damn, I'm screwed. I know that face , it's Happy's face when he's about to...
-Yooouuu miiiissss heeeeeer - she said putting her hand on her mouth and growing the eyes wide open - and youu liiiiiiiike heeeeer!
What the...? Since when Lisanna turned out to be like Mira and Happy? THE WORLD IS MAD, MAD I SAY!
- Natsu, you're blushing - She laughs - and silence is the best answer you know, I can take it as a confirmation of what I just said! AND THAT'S SO CUUUTE ! Wow , I never thought that the fearless Natsu Dragneel, the famous Salamander, would actually fall in love! Things really change huh. You and Lucy will make such a beautiful couple! - her eyes sparkled when she said that.
Damn, that was the last thing I needed, another cupid like Mira. Please Lisanna, don't turn out like your sister... And what the heck? I need to fix this , but...
-SHUT UP!... I mean, you really think so? NO WAIT, I CAN'T BE IN LOVE... but I think we do make a good pairing... BUT NO WAY , I MEAN...
She was laughing her lungs of, what's so funny about it? I'm so confused, and she's not even helping!
-Come on Lis, help me out here, stop goofing around.
-Sorry Natsu, but you looked so funny for a moment, you were just like Chopper! (A/N Character from OP)- She giggles trying not to laugh.- And I always thought that you were to dense to love someone, not just me, everyone in here thinks like that too...
-WHAT? I'm gonna blow up all those bastards, how can they think I'm dense?
-Calm down Natsu, it's not anything that you never really knew.
-That's kinda true...And what do you mean by " everyone in here thinks like that"? Does everyone here knows what's happening to me? I mean, even I don't really have a clue yet. - I need to keep Igneel advices out of the conversation, I don't want anyone to have the knowledge of that.
-Well, we always did feel that you and Lucy cared for each other and had mutual feelings , but none of you have realized that yet. And I say "yet" because even you are still confused. I imagine the poor Lucy, who's much quicker than you for that kind of stuff.
-You mean Lucy likes me too? - I couldn't hide the happiness in my voice, I even felt my eyes shine.
-Perhaps. But that I don't know, I don't talk to her much. Levy is her best friend, she sure knows Lucy better than me. But one thing I am certain : she does care for you, and that is pretty clear to everyone.
I felt my cheeks blush. Luce cared for me... it means so much. Now the urge to make her happy is stronger, I need her back.
- Thanks Lisanna, you helped me . You still are a great friend after all those years. And that reminds me, why did you say that I'm too dense to feel something if you were the one who said that would marry me when we grew up?
-Well, that time I just had arrived to the guild, and you were my only friend. I was just finding a way to keep you with me you know, even tho I knew that we would always be just friends. And we were kids, dream and say stupid things are what kids do best. And remember that time when I said that you would never find a girl that likes you if you kept behaving like an ogre?
-I don't behave like an ogre...
-Well, you just found someone who really likes you like that!
-But didn't you just said that you didn't know how were Luce's feelings about me?
- I don't, but I have my guess!
- And what's that?
-I think she likes ya! - She giggles throwing her arms up!
-REALLY? - I really am sounding like an idiot
-Yeah!
-Who likes who? - A voice said approaching right behind me
Oh no, it can't be. The guild cupid, no no no, more like a demon cupid, it's...
-Mira-ne! Where have you been?- Asks Lisanna to her sister.
- It doesn't matter. So Natsu, who likes who? - Mirajane asks with an evil look on her face, so evil that would make even Erza bow down.
- NO ONE , NO ONE. GOTTA GO, BYE BYE! HAPPY COME ON, QUICK!
- AYE AYE, coming Natsu, wait for me!
I run away , still hearing the two sisters talk for a few seconds:
-What was that Lisanna?
-Nothing much, just Natsu being Natsu as always.
