Day 6
Lisanna's POV:
After me and Mira-nee had breakfast we decided to walk to the guild, the air between us was quiet and awkward.
"Sorry" I apologized breaking the silence.
"For what?" She asked.
"For making you worry, me and Natsu haven't been doing anything but I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you" I explained.
"You don't need to apologize, I know you're careful but I can't help but worry"
"I know, and I love you for that" I said hugging her and breaking it soon after.
"Now, if you could only say that to Natsu" She happily replied.
"W-what?" I stuttered.
"I'm kidding" She clarified. "But you really shouldn't keep that a secret from him"
I scoffed but laughed afterwards, what she was saying was true not that I would admit it, not yet anyways.
"Here we are" She said standing in front of the guild doors.
We entered and once again we went our separate ways, soon enough it was lunch time once again and after I had eaten I went to deliver Natsu's food.
Mira's POV:
After Lisanna left with Natsu's food the master approached me.
"Mira, has Lisanna said anything about Natsu's condition?" He asked.
"She says he's the same as always" I answered.
"Are you sure?" He asked with suspicion.
"Master, you're not doubting Lisanna, are you?"
"You know what she feels about him"
"Yes, I do" I assured.
"Do you think you can go and check up on him later?"
"I guess, but why so sudden?"
"I just want to make sure he's fine"
"Very well, I'll go at night" I agreed.
"Thank you Mira"
I also wanted to confirm if what Erza had said was true, so this was the perfect opportunity do both the tasks.
Lisanna's POV:
I reached the cave and entered it without hesitation. Natsu was already awake and looked at me in happiness and surprise.
"Hey Lisanna" He greeted.
"Hey Natsu, I brought lunch" I greeted.
I sat down beside him and got out the food, he opened his mouth and I fed him. Once he was finished and I put the plates aside I had to tell him about last night.
"Natsu, Mira-nee found out that I have been sneaking out to come here" I said.
"Oh, and what did she say about it?" He asked.
"She was just worried about me" I answered.
"Well, if you were going to a dark cave by yourself in the middle of the night I would be worried too" He joked.
"I'm serious Natsu, she was really scared that something would happen to me" I said getting up and standing in front of him.
"Lisanna, every time you go on a mission by yourself I always panic, I don't think I would be able to handle it if something happened to you ever again" he admitted.
"Natsu…"
"I care about everybody in the guild, but when it's you I just feel like chasing after you and keeping you safe"
I decided to walk closer to him, but as I did I didn't notice a rock between us. I walked even closer but tripped on the rock and fell, luckily Natsu cushioned my fell but what I didn't expect was to crash my lips directly into his.
We stood there connected, his warm lips caressing my own and making me melt from the warmness he was emitting. We both looked surprised initially but soon we both closed our eyes and put even more passion into the accidental kiss.
Natsu's POV:
As we were kissing I felt incredible, I was happy to finally be able to kiss her even if it was just an accident. Surprisingly the wild feeling I usually got from the mating season felt as if it was almost gone, but I didn't care. I deepened the kiss and felt her deepen it too.
Lisanna's POV:
We kept kissing for what felt like hours but had to break apart for air and suddenly panic seemed to come over us.
"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that" I stuttered embarrassed, I didn't hate it but if Natsu didn't feel the same as I did I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship.
"N-no I'm sorry, I-It's my fault" He said, blushing.
Natsu and I sat in silence, not wanting to look at each other due to our blushing.
"H-hey…" We both tried to speak but realized the other was also trying to say something.
"Y-you first" He said.
"M-maybe I should just go" I said grabbing the dirty dishes and heading towards the exit.
"L-Lisanna" He called. "Will you be back?"
"I…" I was surprised by his question. He still wants to see me? I thought. "Sure, I'll come back later, ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be waiting" He cheered.
I got out of the cave and took a deep breath, after a while I started to walk back to the guild, the image of what had just happened still fresh in my head.
I reached the guild with a light blush still adorning my face, I entered and delivered the dishes to Mira-nee, I was still a little spaced out but continued working.
Mira's POV:
Lisanna walked into the guild looking shocked. She approached me, put the dirty dishes on the counter and sat down. She then brought her right hand up to touch her lips and left them there.
"Lisanna, is everything alright?" I asked.
As soon as I spoke, she seemed to snap out from her trance. Her hand quickly left her lips and she stared at me in surprise, like she hadn't noticed me there before I talked to her.
"Oh, did you say something?" She asked confused.
"I asked, is everything alright?" I repeated.
"Oh, yeah" She answered.
"Are you sure? You seem distracted" I said.
"I'm fine, I'll just go and… take people's orders" She said getting up.
Before I could more she had already left. I saw Erza walk up and talk to her about something.
Lisanna's POV:
"Lisanna, are you ok?" Erza asked.
"Yeah" I answered simply before drifting back to that image in my head.
"You don't look very good" She added.
"Don't worry, I'm fine" I lied. I wasn't just fine, I was as happy as I could be and couldn't help but smile.
Mira's POV:
After Erza talked to my sister she came towards me.
"Is Lisanna ok?" She asked. "I asked her and she just said she was fine and she looked ridiculously happy afterwards"
"I'm not sure" I answered. "Maybe something happened to her or Natsu"
"Or maybe Natsu did something to her" She guessed.
"He'd better haven't" I said angrily.
"Hold on, it might not be like that"
"Fine, but I'll still be angry if it is"
Lisanna kept working while acting weird and spacing out. Often, she would bring her hand to her lips and smiled.
Lisanna's POV:
I kept working until it was time to leave, I never stopped drifting back to that image and before I knew it, it was already night and I was ready to go see Natsu.
I reached the cave and stood in front of it for a while. What if he didn't like the kiss? I thought. I liked it and he did say he wanted me to be back but he didn't say why.
I took a deep breath, round up all my courage and walked in. When I reached Natsu, it was like he had been expecting me, he was staring at me in the eyes and we stood there in silence. It took a while but after a few moments of staring at each other Natsu finally said something.
"Lisanna, that kiss…" He started. "It doesn't have to meet anything"
"W-what do you mean?" I asked, it seemed my fears were right.
"W-well…" He stopped to take a deep breath. "If you didn't like it, we can just forget it"
"I-it's not that I didn't like it, but…"
"Lisanna, you don't need to lie I know I'm not that great, I'm always picking fights and I'm not smart either" He stated.
"Natsu, I know about all that" I said. "But that's what makes you who you are"
"Lisanna…" He said.
"And that's exactly why I... I…"
"Lisanna, are you there?" asked a familiar feminine voice.
Mira's POV:
After Lisanna left to see Natsu, I started to follow her. I tried to keep my distance and hid myself so that she wouldn't notice me, even if she still seemed a little spaced out.
Once she reached the entrance she stopped and a while later she took a deep breath and entered. Something did happen. I thought.
After she entered, I approached the cave entrance and stood still so that they wouldn't notice me and so that Natsu wouldn't be able to smell me from that distance. I was too far away to hear them clearly but I was able to make out a few words like: 'kiss', 'forget it', 'didn't like it'.
Kiss?! Did they kiss? I asked myself.
I couldn't hear if it was Natsu or Lisanna that was talking, but if it was Natsu then that could only have possibly meant one thing.
"Lisanna, are you there?" I asked.
Lisanna's POV:
"Mira, what are you doing here" I asked.
"Master asked me to check up on Nat…su…" She said.
"What?" I asked confused.
"LISANNA, GET AWAY FROM HIM" She screamed.
Confused by her, I decided to look back to Natsu and saw the source of Mira-nee's fear. Natsu had once again gone berserk and his eyes were again blood red and wild. He suddenly became violent and started to struggle against his chains, unfortunately I was standing right beside him. He kicked my leg making me trip and fall on top of my arm.
"LISANNA" Mira-nee screamed as I cried out in pain.
She quickly ran to me and carried me away from the rampaging Natsu.
"Natsu… Why?" I asked as I was pulled away from him by Mira-nee.
Mira-nee carried me back to our house, even if I tried to stop her from doing so.
"Let me go, I need to go back" I said.
"I'm not letting you go back" She firmly stated. "He attacked you"
"No, he didn't. It was just an accident" I said.
"Even if it was, you're hurt so I'm not letting you go back"
"But… Natsu" I complained.
"You can go see him tomorrow, even if he can't talk to you"
"Talk?" I asked confused.
"It's not important, let's go"
We finally reached home, but why did Mira-nee say 'talk', she doesn't know he is better does she? And why did Natsu attack me? Ugh, my arm hurts so much, I should just go to sleep and ask him tomorrow.
Natsu's POV:
Back at the cave, I had just recovered from the effects of the mating season and, to my surprise, I was alone.
"Lisanna? Are you there?" I asked.
I really am alone. But I was with Lisanna just a second ago… Right? I thought.
I remember her being here and we talked about the kiss and then… Damn, my head hurts from all the thinking.
After a while, I gave up trying to remember and just focused on Lisanna's words, falling asleep with them on my mind.
