Yo! So this chapter is super fluffy and super sad. Cause I feel I write sad themes pretty damn good. XD
I give half credit to dorkyworm32 for getting me out of my writers block and suggesting I make this chapter full of fluff! You should check out her account and read some of her stories!
"L-lucy.. L-LUCY!"
"N-Natsu!" I reached for his hand, and he reached for mine. He grabbed my hand, but I continued to slip from his grasp.
"LUCY!" He screamed when I slipped past him and into despair.
Two screams were heard that morning...
Their eyes both opened, and they instantly looked for the other. One sprung from the floor, and the other slid off the bed. They shook from fear and grabbed the other. Cries were heard and so were painful shouts. "L-lucy, you're okay. I was so scared. Don't scare me like that again!"
"Natsu! Natsu! Don't let go!" He held her even tighter. Her hands grabbed his vest as she painfully sobbed into his chest. He buried his face in the crook of her neck and continued to doubt she was even there. His sword appeared in his hand again. He threw it to the floor and it dispersed into air once more.
Frightened and exhausted the pair stayed like that till they were lulled into sleep. As they have been every night the past week.
Waking up the next morning was always the worst part.
Suffocated from natural, non-violent thoughts made it hard to think straight. Most of the day was spent ignoring the other for fear of reminding them of the nightmares. But, even so they were found together at night. Clinging on the other like a life line. Jobs and missions were unimportant and thrown to the side while the rest of the guild, even Happy, spent their time searching for Lucas.
Natsu and Lucy were thrown aside. Left out from group searches or finding information. "You are to have nothing to do with this anymore." Is what the guild master said himself. Of course Natsu was angry at first and said he wanted to be the one to plummet him. But after seeing how affected Lucy and his own self was, he gave up the thought instantly. She was more important to him after all.
They woke up still in each others arms. After getting up they would go around the town, but still wouldn't have said a word. Not even a glance was spared. Throughout the course of the day only a few words were said. And at night things got complicated.
Lucy no longer complained about Natsu being there. She knew he wouldn't be able to sleep, and neither would she. Plus, he was told to stay by her side until everything was over. Even if things were awkward and unsaid between them. They both needed the comfort in the end.
Last night was the worst one.
"You think you can save him? You think you can stop me?" He laughed.
"Natsu, it's me, snap out of it!" She cried.
"Stop trying. He's gone!" Natsu lifted his sword up.
"I want to have more adventures!" The sword struck through her heart. She gasped then went silent.
Tears fell from his eyes, but his face was kept emotionless.
"NO!" Natsu screamed. She grabbed his arm.
"I-I can't handle this anymore." Lucy cried. "It hurts. Why is it hurting?"
"Lucy!" He embraced her. She stiffened, then stayed there motionless. He pushed her back to look at her. Her tear streaked face barely shown threw her golden locks. "Lucy?" He brushed the hair behind her ears, but didn't move his hand away. "Lucy, look at me." Her gaze stayed at the floor.
"Why should I?" She cried. "This is the most we have talked all week, Natsu!" He cringed at the truth in her words. "I miss you. I know you are here with me all the time, but I've felt more alone then when after my mom died." Natsu pulled her into his arms again as she wept.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He chanted. They didn't know how long they had been like that until they felt asleep.
Morning came at sun rise. Everything was still and silent in the town of Magnolia. Two soft breaths were heard, and then a scream.
Natsu awoke first. He was drenched in sweat from fear. The sword once again appeared in his hand and he threw it across the floor. Lucy let out a scream and threw herself up from the bed. Natsu sat up as well. They looked at eachother for a split second before grabbing a hold of the other. "Lucy, please don't leave me!"
"Natsu, come back to me!" They reluctantly let go and sat there. Memories from last night were remembered and Natsu was the first to speak.
"Lucy, lets stop this. I can't ignore you anymore. I want to be with you."
"Natsu, I want to be with you too." He brushed his hand softly against her cheek. Then gave her a soft kiss on the lips. She kissed him back then they broke apart.
After getting up and ready the pair searched for a place to eat breakfast. They found a small cafe at the edge of town.
"Hello! May I take your order?"
"I'll get the rice omelet."
"I'll get some fire chicken." They ate in silence again. And for once Natsu ate quietly and didn't spill food everywhere. It was weird, but the way they were sitting next to eachother made it easier to hold hands under the table. Their hearts fluttered. And for once they weren't kicked out of the building for property damage. Once leaving the shop they walked hand in hand.
The streets were much busier then usual. Natsu caught sight and stopped. Lucy stood there confused. "Natsu, what's going on?" She questioned.
"Shh. I can smell him." Fear filled the air and people ran from the street. The crowd was cleared and Lucas stood there before them in all his glory.
"It's been awhile."
Sorry for the cliff hanger! You will just have to wait to see what will happen in the next chapter. Please review and tell me what you think!
I have posted a poll on my profile asking if I should do a collection of one-shots for Nalu. I would LOVE it if you could please answer it for me.
Thanks and until next time. :)
