Let's see if we can milk some more love out of this one...
The Sleeping Dragon
Epilogue
He was falling.
Why!? He won right?
The limp body fell onto the hard ground with a thud.
She hurried over and saw the hole in his chest. Blood was flowing out of it covering the ground.
So... much... blood...
Lucy shot out of bed. She looked around and saw that she was in Natsu's bedroom. No bloody Natsu... No enemies.
She looked over at the other side of the bed but didn't see her boyfriend. Panic shot through her body but when she heard his voice echo through the house she calmed down.
She got out of bed and walked over to the kitchen and drank a glass of water.
Before getting back to bed she walked over to the expansion room Natsu and the boys from the guild had built to Natsu's house a few months back. Standing in the doorway she saw her boyfriend sitting in a rocking chair with a bundle in his arms. As he rocked back and forth he sang his favorite lullaby.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee, Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff, And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail, Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came, Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!
She smiled at the sight of her boyfriend/soon-to-be-husband sat with their little 3-months old son singing lullabies. He saw her standing in the door opening and smiled towards her.
Putting the small bundle back in it's crib Natsu walked over to Lucy and gave her a kiss on the cheek "Sorry if I woke you up. Thu woke up and was crying and I didn't want him to wake you."
Lucy smiled and hugged him towards her burying her face in his chest. At first Natsu thought nothing of it but when he felt the smell of salt he realized she was crying.
"Hey what is it Lucy? Why are you crying?"
Lucy pulled back a sob and whispered. "I had a dream... It was about that day... And when I woke up... you weren't there... Please don't leave me like that again."
Natsu looked down at his fiancée. "Hey I've said it before and i'll say it again. I won't leave you alone like that again no matter what happens."
Lucy looked up from his chest. "Thank you. I love you so much."
The End (for real this time)
Thank you for reading for reading the epilogue to "The Sleeping Dragon" I wasn't going to make it at first but my muse convinced me that it was a good idea.
Thu is short for Thuban one of the stars in the Draco constellation. I wanted a name that combines Lucy's stellar theme with Natsu's dragon theme and some research later Thuban was born.
I'm currently working on some other projects including one Gruvia, one RoWen and one StingXYukino (Stino? Yuing?) if you like my writing and want me to work on something specific let me know.
As usual if you liked it leave a review or favorite it (No need to follow. This one is over already)
