Previously on Marry Me:
Gray collapsed against the wall as fresh tears streaked down his face.
'Gray?' Gray sobbed, not paying attention to whoever was calling him.
'Gray, what's wrong?' Gray angrily looked up at the person who was interrupting his thoughts. His eyes widened in surprise. No. Not now of all times.
Currently on Marry Me:
Natsu's POV:
A wave of nostalgia hit me as I wandered through the streets of Magnolia. It had been over six years since I last stepped foot into this place. As much as I wanted to I couldn't stop and enjoy the scenery, I was here for a reason.
A strand of my hair flopped down over my eye and I groaned. It had started growing out and I hadn't gotten around to cutting it yet, it was really getting on my nerves. Heating up my hand ever so slightly I ran it through my hair. Quickly glancing at a shop window I was pleased to see it was now spiking up as it was supposed to.
As I wasn't looking where I was going I didn't see the stray pebble that was lying in my path until it was to late. I tripped over it and flopped onto the ground with a loud thud.
I pulled myself up and blinked a few times so that my vision would return. I could practically see little comical stars spinning around my head. Still on the floor I awkwardly scratched my elbow before hissing in pain. I held my arm up to be greeted by the sight of the skin at my elbow ripped apart. I frowned when I noticed the blood dripping down and staining my clothes.
Lisanna was going to kill me.
We'd been living with each other since we'd run away, or rather since I'd run away and dragged her with me as she constantly reminded me. As you'd expect she'd ignored me for the first few months. I'd often walk past her room and hear her sobs.
I could tell she missed her brother, sister and the rest of the guild. I did too. But there was nothing I could do. Once more time had passed Lisanna began talking to me again, after all I was the only person present, not including Happy. Lisanna shared her feelings with me and I tried my best to apologize.
She lectured me saying how I shouldn't have said those lies about Lucy, I shouldn't have lied about Gray, I shouldn't have turned up drunk no matter how bad my nerves were and most of all I shouldn't have run away. Because of Lisanna I regretted the events that took place all those years ago in this very town.
'Young man! Are you alright?!' I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to see an elderly lady gaping down at my bleeding arm. Oh. I almost forgot about that.
'I'm fine, thank you,' I shot a small smile at the lady before hopping up and turning so that i could make a quick escape.
'I don't think so mister.' She glared at me. 'You need to go the hospital to get that stitched up.'
'Honestly ma'am, I'm fine,' I mumbled, slowly backing away.
The lady grabbed my wrist and began dragging me away with surprising strength. I clumsily stumbled after her trying not to trip again. I could easily break out of her grip but I don't really want to hurt this random lady.
After finally giving up on resisting I began following her willingly. We made it to the hospital doors when she let go and turned to face me.
'Now you go inside and have those nice nurses look at your elbow, all right little mister?' She crinkled her nose and stared at me intently.
'Yes ma'am,' I smiled weakly as she pushed me through the sensor doors.
I slowly wandered up to the lady sitting at the front desk. She glanced up and her eyes widened when she saw me. She lifted her hand up and started twirling her hair while smiling flirtily.
Ugh.
'How can I help you, sir?' She giggled. I shot er a very sarcastic smile before lifting me arm and shoving it in her face. Her face screwed up in disgust when she saw the blood still trickling from my wound.
'I want to see a doctor.'
She physically gagged and shoved her chair further away from me. Good.
'J-Just a moment sir.'
I plopped down into one of the waiting chairs and fiddled with my hands. I didn't like the hospital one bit. Every time I got injured I usually went to the center in the guild and got patched up. I didn't trust these strangers to poke around at my injuries.
I was staring blankly at the ground when a pair of high heeled feet came into my vision. I glanced up to see the receptionist again.
'Please go to room U3. A doctor will see you there.' She turned on her heel and sashayed away. Whatever. I don't like people like that.
I hopped up and started walking when I realized I didn't know where U3 was. I turned back to see the receptionist giggling at an new poor guy who had made the mistake of going to her to ask for help. There was no way I was going back there. Shaking my head I continued wandering the hallways.
Levy's POV:
I let out a yawn before glancing down at the adorable little girl who was holding my hand. Amber has been staying with Gajeel and myself while Lucy was in the hospital. The poor girl was devastated when she found out that her mother was hospitalized.
She'd stay up late crying for hours. At first I was one hundred percent sympathetic but now I just miss my sleep. I know that sounds incredibly mean and I love Luce and Amber but come on. Sleep.
At the moment I was taking Amber to the hospital to see Lucy. We hadn't gone to the guild that day so we didn't know if there was any new news.
Amber just wouldn't sleep so Gajeel had the idea of taking her to see Lucy. Of course he refused to take her so that's why I'm half asleep walking towards the hospital with a six year old stumbling along beside me when I really should be taking a nap. (A/N - Come on guys, you've gotta love tired Levy)
As we walked through the hospital doors I sighed in relief. Not long to go. I wandered up to the front desk and smiled cheerfully at the receptionist who was busy applying lip gloss at the moment.
'Could you please tell me what room Lucy Heartfillia is in?'
She raised an eyebrow at me and continued what she was doing.
'Excuse me?' I tried again.
'Can't you see I'm busy?' She sneered.
'Can't you see I don't care,' I shot back. I needed to see Luce. Amber needed to see Luce. I needed this lady to hurry up!
She glared at me before placing her lip gloss down carefully and flicking her curled hair over her shoulder.
'Fine. Room U7.' She turned back to her her makeup.
I tightened my grip on Amber's hand and began walking. I'd been at this hospital a few times before. U7 meant room 7 on the upper floor.
Amber and i made it to the upper floor when I realized that I really needed to go the toilet. I crouched down in front of the little girl.
'Sorry Amber, Aunt Levy just has to drop into the toilets for a second. Are you fine waiting out here?' I asked. She nodded in reply. 'Don't worry, I'll be just inside. You're mum's room isn't that far away anyway.' I glanced t the closest door and read U3.
Only a room away.
(A/N - Just so you know how I imagine the room arrangement:
U1U2
U3 (Natsu going here)U4
Toilets (Levy)Upper Office
U5U6
U7 (Lucy & Gray inside)U8)
I let Amber's hand go after telling her to sit down with her back against the wall while I'm away. I walk into the toilets and groan. My stomach's been weird lately. Gajeel probably put some sort of weird topping on our food that's disagreeing with me.
Natsu's POV:
After asking for help from multiple people I finally made it to the upper floor. This hospital honestly needs a map. I glanced at my elbow and was pleased to find that the bleeding had pretty much stopped. That was a good sign.
As I walked down the hallway I was surprised to see a petite blonde girl who looked no older than six sitting against the wall by the toilet.
One of her hands was out in front of her. Usually I wouldn't have noticed any of this and would have walked past without a second glance but this time was different. It was because her hand was on fire.
I rushed over to her side, 'Are you alright?'
'I'm fine thank you,' She calmly smiled at me before returning her attention to her hand. I glanced at her hand again, this time the flame was white hot.
'Doesn't that hurt your hand?' I asked curiously. She shook her head. 'Are you by and chance... A mage?' I asked once again.
'I am,' She grinned at me with a smile that seemed to familiar. 'I'm a fire mage,' She raised her hand to me so that I could have a closer look.
'That's awesome!' I exclaimed before lighting my left hand on fire. 'So am I!'
The little girl's smile stretched even further across her face, if that was even possible. Then, all of a sudden, her smile dropped and she looked at me with a horrified expression.
'What happened to your arm?!' She cried. I followed her gaze down to see that the cut on my elbow had opened up when I lifted my arm to show her my magic.
'Oh... Don't worry about that, I just tripped. But I'd better go see the doctor now.' I hopped up and grinned at her. 'Goodbye,' I waved cheerfully.
'Bye,' She waved back before staring at the flickering flame that was dancing across her palm.
I turned away and walked into room U3, not looking back.
Levy's POV:
I quickly washed my hands and rushed out of the toilet. I really shouldn't have left Amber alone for that long. As I opened the door leading to the hallway I froze. What the hell?
I glanced at Amber who was trying to make the fire in her hand grow stronger. If I'm right I really hope she didn't see him.
We had to leave now, even though we hadn't seen Lucy yet. If it really was Natsu who had just walked into room U3 I couldn't risk Amber meeting him.
'Come on sweetie, we need to leave now,' I gently tugged Amber's hand, well, the one that wasn't burning hot.
'But we haven't seen mummy yet,' She looked up at me with her big puppy dog eyes. Biting my lip I pulled her off the ground.
'We can't see mummy today. Maybe tomorrow.'
She gave me a slight nod and stumbled along beside me as we retreated out of the hospital back to the apartment I shared with Gajeel.
I really hope Natsu doesn't see Lucy or Gray. If he did who knows what would happen.
Natsu's POV:
I hissed in pain as I swung my arm around. Actually getting the stitches didn't hurt that much but that doctor must have had a few screws loose in his head as he cheerfully whacked my arm as I walked out. The arm he'd just put stitches in.
I ran a hand through my hair. I didn't see why Lisanna wanted me to visit Magnolia so much. Although she claimed she simply 'missed the taste of the food and she really wanted to try it again' I wasn't so sure.
It didn't matter though. I just needed to buy the food and leave. I shouldn't hang around here much longer.
As I was about to turn to leave a nurse brushed past my shoulder. She looked tired. She glanced at me before quickly apologizing and walking on.
I heard a sob coming from the direction she'd just come from. I swung my head around and saw a man slumped against the wall outside what looked like U7.
The poor guy, I thought. I wonder what news he just got. Not really knowing what I was doing I started walking towards him. He looked familiar. He had messy raven hair and a muscular build.
As I got closer I paused in surprise.
'Gray?' I asked. Was it him?
'Gray, what's wrong?' I asked again. He angrily raised his head and glared at me. It was him. He looked the same as he did six years ago, except now he was crying. The Gray I knew didn't cry. What happened?
Guess who's back?!
I'm sorry for not updating in so long. As many of you know I'm a huge procrastinator. The reason behind the slow update this time is I've gotten really into Kpop. Do any of you like Kpop?
I'd like to give a HUGE thanks to all those readers that have actually stuck by this story after so long of me getting side tracked. To make up for it this chapter is 2758 words long! It's also the long awaited Natsu's POV.
IMPORTANT:
I was thinking of renaming the story as 'Marry Me' doesn't sound that good to me anymore. Do you guys still like the name 'Marry Me'? If not please review any ideas for the new name of the story. If I pick your name I'll dedicate a chapter to you.
