#7. When you see her crying,
just hold her and don't say a word.
"He wouldn't do that!" Lisanna said, scrunching up her nose a bit at the thought.
Evergreen smirked. "I'm just saying…" She said. "Natsu's… uh, great, but he isn't exactly the most romantic person."
"Oh and my brother is?"
"It's not like we're dating or anything!" Evergreen protested, but the take-over mage could clearly see the tint of pink on her cheeks.
Lisanna snorted. "Right." She said. "Like you didn't go out on a date with Elf-niichan when we were at that water park… Ryuzetsu land. Freed and Bixlow told me, you two were there."
"I'm so going to get them back later…" Evergreen muttered under her breath. "But anyway…" She continued on. "Don't change the subject…"
"I'm not," Lisanna said. "You're the one who did by not admitting you like my brother."
"That's because I don't!"
"I think you do." She replied, and not waiting for an answer she spoke again. "But really… he wouldn't."
"Knowing Natsu he'd think it was a 'friendly gesture' or something of the sort." The bruenette said. "He's as dense as a stone wall…"
"Brick wall."
"I beg your pardon?"
"The expression is 'he's as dense as a brick wall'"
"Not to me it isn't. The expression doesn't even matter anyway!" Evergreen exclaimed. "Stop trying to change the subject! He's as dense as a rock and you know it, don't kid yourself…"
"He wouldn't!" Lisanna protested. "He's dense but not that dense so just stop! It's not like he would… cheat on me or anything! Just shut up already!" She was on the verge of tears now.
"Oh…"
"What?"
"If you don't believe me then why don't you ask him yourself!"
"Maybe I will!"
"So go!"
"What's going on here?" Mirajane entered the room and frowned. "What's all this ruckus…? Are you two done yet?"
"Yeah, we're done, Mira-nee…" Lisanna said. "They're all in their place."
"Good." The former demon said. "But what's all this noise about? A little disagreement, I suppose?"
"Disagreement isn't what I would call it, Mirajane." Evergreen spoke up. "I was just telling your sister that her boyfriend is dense, and he might mistake something like suppose a kiss from a woman to be a little… what's the word? Ah, yes, a friendly gesture of some sort… "
"He wouldn't!" Lisanna protested.
"Oh my…" Mirajane said. "Well why don't you just find out?"
"Not you too, Mira-nee!" She was on the verge of tears again.
"I'm just saying that-"
"Maybe I will find out!"
The younger Strauss sibling left the room.
Natsu sat on the hill he and Lisanna used to play at when they were kids, just staring out into the empty sky. "Man, today is boring…"
He was so bored out of his mind and there was no one there to be with; Gray and Lucy were out on one of their dates (damn that stripper! And right when he was going to ask Lucy to go on a job with him!), Happy was nowhere to be found, it wasn't like he could just ask Erza to do something with him, and as far as he knew Lisanna was at the guild helping her siblings. He would ask Wendy to go on a job with him, but she was already doing one with Romeo (he thought those two were way too young to fall in love!).
Natsu sighed. "Why is it that everyone is so busy!" He said, frustrated. "Just one thing! One thing to happen why can't it!"
After he did he saw floating words above him that said 'be careful what you wish for'. He lit a flame with his hand and threw it at the words, and they disappeared. "Freaky magic users playing pranks on me huh?" He said. "That isn't what I call eventful."
He rubbed his eyes and after he did he saw a figure coming toward him. "What the-?"
He squinted and saw that it was Lisanna. Thank goodness! She came at the perfect time! Him and her would surely have a grand time now, after all, Lisanna wasn't boring (he wouldn't choose someone boring to be his girlfriend!), and she wasn't one for frowns and sadness. More like smiles and laughter and happiness. That was what he loved about her. He grinned.
But as she came closer, Natsu noticed that she wasn't smiling now, there were tears in her eyes, and she was frowning. Natsu frowned as well. "Lisanna…?"
He thought deeply and tried to think up a reason that she was crying, but found nothing is his mind to come to a conclusion.
"I wonder what's wrong…" He pondered, as she came closer.
"Natsuuuu!" She called, running towards him, crying.
She ran towards him and buried her face in his chest, sobbing quietly.
Lisanna? He thought. What's wrong? Why are you crying?
He tried to speak, but the words just wouldn't come out, so he held her tight in his arms, and a ghost of a smile flickered upon her face.
He was lost for words, he had rarely ever seen Lisanna cry... she was always so happy and smiley and full of joy that he couldn't really believe that this was her in his arms, because it seemed so unreal.
For a while, they were both silent, not saying a word, because there was nothing to say; they didn't need to say anything.
As the sun set upon them, Lisanna smiled in his arms. She was happy she had proven them wrong, she was happy that she trusted Natsu with all her soul, that she loved him… she knew that he would be there for her 'till the very end. That moment proved it.
Sometimes, silence says a thousand words.
