But yes, this chapter is in fact linked with chapter D and E, so get ready to have some feels tingling within you! Man I'm a horrible writer! Why do so many of you enjoy reading what I write when I'm pure evil? :/
ENJOY!
I love you in 26 different ways
G is for ghost
There was a tapping sound on his window and it made him wake up. He thought it was his feline friend coming back from Wendy's too early and he was ready to yell. Nobody, friend, nakama or foe wakes him up from his sleep! He threw open the window, ready to yell at the blue neko.
"HAPPY, WHAT DO YOU- "
"Hello Natsu."
His mouth made an 'o' shape as he gaped at the girl in front of him. This had to be some sort of sick joke right? She was dead, what was she doing here?! He stood there, watching her in surprise as he blinked. It was like he stopped breathing. Without even realising it, his hand reached out slowly to the girl in front of him as he started trembling. His hand reached out for hers and he had to hold in a gasp when her hand was solid. Their fingers intertwined. He choked on a sob as soon as he felt her being real.
"Juvia?"
His voice crack and she smiled at him sadly and held his hand. "Juvia's spirit was able to come back for one night and she only got to see one person before dawn."
Natsu was stuttering as he tried to compose himself. "Then why didn't you go to the ice princess? I'm pretty sure that you wanted to tell him how much you love him before you can't ever come back here." He choked on the last part of his words, not wanting to believe that she could never come back to the land of the living ever again.
She gave him a soft smile once again and she squeezed his hand in order to make him feel better and reassure him that he's the one she wanted to see. He just didn't get why he was the one she wanted to see.
"Because Natsu was more affected by Juvia's death as well as him being the only one to hold Juvia in his arms when she was dying. Juvia wanted to tell Natsu that everything is okay, Juvia is alright. Trust Juvia when she says this, okay?"
Natsu moved out of her way so that she could climb in. She looked solid, like she never left, but she was shimmering. His eyes were trained on hers the whole time, never letting her out of his sight. He couldn't believe it. Then he hugged her. Although she had expected this sort of reunion, it still surprised her. She soon snapped out of it and hugged him right back.
"Juvia, Juvia, Juvia."
He kept repeating her name as though it were some sort of mantra that will wake him up from this dream, if it was one. He held her tightly, as though she would disappear if he didn't. He just couldn't believe that she was alive and in his Arms, even if it was only for one night.
She ran her hand through his hair soothingly, as though she were trying to make a young child feel better after falling down and hurting themselves. "It's okay, Natsu. Juvia is okay where she is. Although she wishes that she could have grown old with you guys, Juvia is fine. She gets to watch over you all and she gets to see her loved ones as well as live in the spirit world. Natsu-kun...Juvia loves Fairy Tail...Juvia loves Natsu-kun."
Her voice was nothing but a whisper, a hushed sigh in the night as Natsu's grip on her tightened. He had to will himself not to cry into her neck, so he shut his eyes tightly. Juvia let her own tears roll silently down her face as she pulled him closer to her.
"Juvia, I'm sorry I couldn't save you, I'm sorry that I wasn't there to protect you like I do to everyone else! You must really hate me for it!"
"No, Juvia doesn't hate Natsu-kun. Natsu-kun can't be everywhere at one time and he can't protect everyone close to him. We all have to be strong by ourselves and Juvia was just too we-"
"Don't finish that sentence! You're fucking strong Juvia! Dammit, to come to a guild where people should have fucking hated your guts takes a whole lot of courage! To know that you were once in the wrong and tried to make things right shows that you're strong! Dammit, I just wish you were really here! I fucking love you too."
Juvia let out a shuddering sigh before pulling back and cupping Natsu's cheek with a smile. "And that's why Juvia decided that she was going to be the strong one and protect everyone this time around. Sometimes, the whole burden can't be placed on Natsu's shoulders, we're nakama and we bear each other's burdens if we must. Juvia used her body to protect everyone. It was her decision, please don't make Juvia feel bad."
Natsu nodded and breathed deeply before nodding. He understood what she meant, but he still didn't want her to have died. She pecked his lips and held his hand. "Juvia loves Natsu-kun. Natsu-kun should find someone who will love him as well. Juvia didn't want to have died without telling Natsu-kun."
His eyes were red from crying so hard and Juvia's eyes shimmered with her own fair share of tears as well.
"Juvia, stay with me."
She smiled despite the tears in her eyes and nodded her head at him.
"Juvia is here until dawn."
He led her to the sofa and grabbed a blanket, even though they didn't really need it. Natsu was hot enough for the both of them, but they wanted to feel as close as they possibly could to one another. He placed her on his lap and held his arms around her and she fell into his chest. She was so close to him, he could smell her and everything.
"I wish it could be like this everyday."
Juvia didn't say anything as she just cuddled up closer to him. A single tear rolled down her face as she just lay in the arms of the one that she loved. She wished for the same thing also. She wished that she didn't have to die for them to finally confess to one another.
Now they both understood the saying 'it's always darkest before dawn'. Juvia would be gone by then.
So how was that? This was a little longer than the last two chapters I released for you all and I hope that it was up to the Lolita standard! I think I might pump one (or two) more chapters of this story and then call it a day to then focus on stories that need to updated or new material. I have so many new material that I just want to share with you all! I'll bring one or two out for you guys one day so you can see how hard I've been working!
But don't forget to rate or hate, flames or floods! A review? I'll love you!
Lolita-chan
