Chapter Six: Confessions
When we got to the apartment building, we split up and went to separate apartments. When she was about to open the door to hers, I turned and ran toward her.
"Lucy," I said.
"Yea—"
I cut her off. I picked her up and ran to my apartment. I unlocked the door and went in with her.
"Natsu, what are you do—"she started. Once again I cut her off, but this time I talked.
"Lucy, I love you," I said hurriedly.
"Wha—" I cut her off again. Why did I keep doing that?
Anyway, I cut her off with a kiss.
Funny thing is, she didn't pull away.
Like, seriously? Was I dreaming?
The fact is, I was.
I sat up in bed, looking out at the huge guild hall in the distance. I could tell they'd been remodeling overnight, because random scaffolds and insulation panels were laid out everywhere.
Then I started thinking back to my dream. Why had I said that? Was it true?
Maybe.
Anyway, I had to get back to the guild and find a job. Maybe I could even have Lucy tag along.
Oh, I forgot.
Damn it.
She got kicked out.
Better not bring it up if I see her.
"Hey, what's up Natsu?" Lucy said, running into my apartment.
"How did you get in?" I asked.
"Oh. I kinda kicked your door down."
"What?!"
"Just kidding! But didn't I ask you a question?" she enjoined.
"What?" I asked.
"You're so forgetful."
"No seriously, what did I ask?"
"First of all, I asked something. Second of all, I asked, 'What's up?'" she said.
"And third of all?" I questioned.
"There is no third of all. But you still haven't answered my question," she said.
"What question?"
"UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!"
"Was it something I said?" I asked. And I really wanted to know, too.
She cursed and stormed out of the room.
