Finally, Lucy reached the table where her team were sat and joined them. For a while no one was talking, almost like they didn't know what to say.

Seriously, what do you say in this situation without upsetting, offending or sticking your nose in.

The atmosphere at Team Natsu's table was a little bit tense to say the least, everyone shifting slightly not knowing how to approach Natsu. 'Oh for Mavis' sake, someone say something, please!' cried Natsu to the others.

Before any of them could blink, a small blue ball of fur suddenly shot itself at Natsu, burrowing himself into his trademark scarf. 'Na-Natsu, why didn't you tell us? Are you okay?' Happy said whilst crying into Natsu. 'Yeah little buddy, I'm fine, honestly. I didn't want to put all my problems on you guys when you had your own shit going on' Natsu replied, his hand on Happy's head comforting him as best he could.

Natsu couldn't understand why his team seemed upset for him, but he himself was fine. He wanted everyone else to be fine with his decision, he didn't want anyone to pity him, he has dealt with it and wants to move on. 'Soooo, you're sure you are definitely okay? I just don't understand Natsu, you seemed fine together, what the hell bought this on? And yeah we have our own shit to deal with, but when it's something as important as this, you should have come to us! I'd like to think we're good enough friends to take on each others problems, but obviously you don't seem to think of us this way, stupid ash for brains!' Gray said heatedly from across the table.

The thing is, Natsu couldn't argue with him on this, Gray was right. Gray knew he was right as well. They were nakama, they should be there for each other, but Natsu didn't go to anyone with his problems, he decided to deal with them on his own. He knew his team were hurting from being left out and with him making them feel like they weren't needed. Pretty shitty indeed.

'I'm sorry', mumbled Natsu, 'I should have said something, I trust you guys with everything but I didn't want you to think low of me, to think I was giving up. I don't ever give up, I always keep fighting, but not this time'. He looked up to see his team staring back, waiting for more answers.

So far Lucy and Erza hadn't said much. Erza was just waiting on an explanation, she didn't want to pressure him, she was happy enough to let him continue at his own pace. Lucy, she didn't seem to be looking at Natsu, she kept her head down and stayed quiet. That was one thing Natsu couldn't understand, was her reaction. Is she really pissed at him for doing this? But little did he know she was in her own thoughts completely.

Lucy was wondering what would happen now, whether she could finally tell Natsu her true feelings or just leave things the way they are. Her thoughts suddenly shifted, of course she can't tell him! He has just divorced Lisanna, so therefore he has just come out of a long term relationship, so he will want time to himself and also she could NOT do that to Lisanna. They are friends after all and she couldn't hurt a friend like that, no matter what they say, no, she's not going there.

Pulled back from her thoughts she heard Natsu continue 'Right, so yeah, we got a divorce. It wasn't something that we thought of in spur of the moment, this was something that has been going through our minds for a while. It just wasn't working, so instead of one day waking up and hating each other we decided to end things in a good way'.

'Wow, who knew you had it in you, you can be an adult at times', commented Gray.

'Oh shush Gray, let him talk, stop interrupting him', Erza growls out towards him, she's completely tired of his snide remarks towards Natsu. He should be supporting him, but all he is trying to do is get under Natsu's skin, and now is not the time for an all out brawl between the two of them.

'Well the thing is, we both agreed on was that we rushed into this, we got married way too young and obviously others had doubts but we didn't listen', said Natsu.

He was right, they did get married too young, everyone had their reservations but kept it to themselves because the last thing they wanted to do was anger the obliviously happy in love dragon slayer.

They all remember it well.

They had never seen him as happy as he was when Lisanna 'returned from the dead'. He constantly had his signature grin on his face and refused to leave her side, he had missed her a lot after all and couldn't quite believe that she was here, he had accepted he was never going to see her again.

A few weeks after Lisanna had returned, they had announced to the guild that they were dating (neither noticing the shattered look upon Lucy's face). They were inseparable. He would always get Lisanna to join in with missions alongside his team. He wanted everyone to love her as much as he did, because she was his light. He loved how well she got on with Lucy, his best friend, they were always talking and would go shopping when they had the spare time. To Natsu this was perfect as his lover and nakama got on so well, he didn't need to worry about anything.

It seemed very whirlwind for the two mages because not even three months into dating they decided to get married. Everyone was shocked at this, first off they hadn't been together long and two, they were so young. But if they found they were ready for this, everyone respected it and kept opinions to themselves. They seemed happy and in love, why ruin that.

Natsu and Lisanna had a beautiful wedding with all their friends and family attending, it seemed nothing could go wrong. They had each other and that was all that mattered. After the wedding they were happy for a while, but a year into their marriage things started to change. At first they put it down to normal routine of things, growing up together and finding a pattern. This was them maturing and learning to live alongside each other. So, they talked any problems out and stayed happy together.

They did notice more things had started to change but tried to ignore it. It would be little things that would get on each others nerves and they would start to argue. The arguing got more intense but they still just carried on, after all, married life was not all sunshines and rainbows.

Then something happened that changed the dynamics of their relationship. After two years married, this was the change that was going to lead to the divorce. It was also where truths and realisations came out from the two of them and this is where they knew things had changed between them and that they had been living a lie for a while.

I am not completely happy with this chapter. So if it gets deleted it is because i'm rewriting it because ugh! Just felt like i should get something out as i'm now busy all weekend and need to catch up on sleep. I'm enjoying writing for everyone :) it has been years since I sat down and wrote a story. So please don't be too harsh as i am aware it's rubbish. Thanks!
