Last Time...
She was now on her way home and walking on the edge of the river like always. She couldn't wait to take a warm relaxing bath and work on her novel. Its been a while since most of her time was tooken up by Natsu...Oh yea Natsu..She forgot about the situation with their anniversary. She knew she will forgive him eventually, but it still stung that he forgot. I'll have a talk with him when I see him again.
She finally reached her house and opened the door with her key. First thing she noticed was rose petals scattered across her floor, leading up the stairs to her bedroom. It can't be... She followed the trail to the door of her bedroom. She hesitated because she wasn't sure on how to face him yet. She wasn't ready. She started to walk backwards, but stopped herself. You have to face him eventually! With no more hesitation she started turning the knob to her bedroom slowly. Right there in the middle of her bedroom was a figure leaning on her bed sleeping. He was holding a picture of her and him that was tooken around when they first got together. The room was covered with flowers and candles. All set up yesterday.
Lucy closed the door which jolted him awake. She started to rub his eyes and adjust his vision. When he turned around to see the beautiful blonde mage at the door, his eyes widened. He then spoke.
"Lucy..."
"Natsu..."
At Lucy's House
Lucy didn't know what else to say. She was just confused and scared of what she would say next. She didn't want to start a fight with Natsu, even if she was upset. She just wanted to deal with all this another day and enjoy the day in peace. But now she walks into her room seeing roses and candles spread across. She wan't sure if she should be happy. Wasn't this was she wanted? It didn't seem like it from how she wasn't saying anything or giving any expression of excitement or gratitude. Natsu noticed this and didn't make a big deal about it since he understood why she would stay mad at him. He forgot their special day for the second time. The first time he couldn't help it since he caught the flu, but this time there was no excuse. He needed to say something before things got awkward.
"He..hey Babe. How was your mission?" That's a start.
Lucy broke from deep thought. "Hey Natsu...It was good. Me and Gray defeated two powerful mages that were terrorizing a village." She went to go organize her stuff for her bath.
Natsu growled under his breath. That should have been me. Not that stripper. He snapped out of his anger. Now isn't the time to get mad. You messed up. Fix it!
"Ummmm Lucy." He started to get nervous.
"Yea Natsu?" Lucy was prepared to listen to every word of what he was going to say.
"Ummmmm I'm sorry..." He looked down in shame. Lucy waited for anything else he was going to say. It was dead silent for two minutes.
Was that it!? Lucy was trying to keep her cool, but it was getting hard because Natsu had nothing else to say on the matter. She decided to push more out of him.
"What for Natsu?" Natsu looked dumbfounded.
"What do you mean what for Lucy? You know what for. I forgot our anniversary and I wanted to say I'm sorry." Lucy felt like punching him in the face for how dense he is being. She wanted him to continue and really tell her how sorry he was. Did she mean that little to him?
"Is that all you wanted to say Natsu...?" Natsu was even more confused.
"Yea Lucy... What else is there to say. I even decorated your whole place to make up for missing our anniversary. I know how much you like roses and scented candles so that's what I did. I thought you would be happy?" Natsu had a look of disappointment and sadness. Lucy didn't like that look. It at least calmed her down. She did like the gesture because he was right. She did love those things. The roses reminded her of her mother and the scented candles help her relax. She took a deep breath.
"I do love them Natsu. They are two of my favorite things, but right now I just want to relax and work on my novel. Can we talk another time I need to rest."
"Sure thing Lucy. Why not we go on a mission tomorrow. Just the two of us." Natsu hoped she would say yes.
Lucy thought the idea would be a good chance to talk, but was honestly exhausted and already had enough rent now for the month.
"No thanks Natsu. I'm honestly really tired from the mission I went on with Gray. I'll just see you at the guild tomorrow okay." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and went to the bathroom to take her bath.
Natsu was just shocked, but mostly confused. She never said no to him to go on the job. She was always excited and full of evergy. Even if she went on a mission with someone else the day before. Why was now any different? She didn't seems to upset from what Mira had told him. I don't get women. One thing that got him angry was the scent that was revolved around Lucy. It reaked of the stripper and he didn't like it. It was too strong, which meant he was too close to Lucy to his liking. Im gana beat that bastards ass if its the last thing I do. He still needs to pay for what he did to my food. And no one touches my Lucy without my consent.
He took his leave from Lucy's house and he was on his way home. Thinking of how he should make it up to Lucy. She didn't seem happy with the roses and candles. He needs to try harder to gain that smile that he loves.
The thing he doesn't know is that someone else is making her smile now.
At Gray's
It was about late noon and Gray had finished taking a cold shower. He came out of the bathroom shirtless with his toned abs just out in the open. He remembered how Lucy was blushing when they were right in front of her face while he was rapping his coat around her. "Ha..she is really is cute."
He went to his fridge to get a popsicle, but to his dissapointment there was none. He forgot to restock before he left for his mission with Lucy. He looked out the window to to see how dark it was.
There's still time before it gets pitch black.
He put on a black T-shirt and left to the store to get his new stock of frozen treats.
In Town
Natsu was just walking through the markets. He was going to go home, but it didn't seem like a bad idea for a walk. It wasn't dark yet. He was about to pass Happy's favorite dish market until he saw the short, white haired mage of Fairy Tail.
"Lissana?" She turned around to the familiar voice. "Hey Natsu..." She didn't look at him in the eye. She thought he would be upset with her since she got in the way. He wouldn't even look at her in the eye after he EFT the guild yesterday.
"Don't do that Lissana. None of that was your fault. It was my fault that I forgot me and Lucy's wouldn't have known."
"But Natsu! I..." He put his hand up to shush her.
"Lucy wouldn't blame you either Lissana. We both know that." Natsu gave a sad smile. So did Lissana.
"She really is a great girl."
"Yea. Im honestly lucky to have her. She just came back today."
"Oh did you guys meet? Did you make up?" Lissana now curious like how her sister would be.
"I don't think so. She didn't seem to upset when I saw her. I decorated her room with roses and scented candles. Two of her favorite things, but she didn't seem to thrilled. I'm not sure what to do List." Natsu felt hopeless.
"Natsu, what was the first thing you said to Lucy when she came home?"
"Well I asked her how her mission went and she said good. Then I told her I was sorry for forgetting our anniversary. That's about it."
"That's it!?" Natsu was startled.
"Yea...why?" Lissana rubbed the temples of her eyes. How did I fall for someone this dense.
"Natsu. I'm pretty sure Lucy was still upset because you didn't show how sorry you were. Or at least you didn't tell her. Yes the roses and candles were a sweet gesture, but sometimes a girl just needs a good talk with her boyfriend. She probably feels like you don't care so much for her."
Natsu listened and was surprised with the information that Lissana was giving him. It would make sense since he was never good with words. But arnt his actions enough to convince Lucy?
"Alright I'll talk with Lucy. Thanks Lissana. Your an awesome friend." He gave a her a big hug. Lissana didn't hesitate to hug him back.
"Is there any way for me to repay you?"
"Oh no Natsu. Its fine. I'm glad to be helping out my friends with their issues. I did make them worse in some way."
"No you didn't Lissana. Come on just let me know what I can do."
"Alright. But let me whisper it in your ear. Its a little embarrassing."
"Oh alright."
Natsu was leaning his ear toward her mouth. Lissana was about to say something until a ball hit her head.
"Ouch!" She tilted her head down.
"Lissana you alright!" As Natsu turned his head, Lissana brought her head up. There lips had met and shared a kiss that left them both speechless. Lissana felt as she was in pure bliss because she was kissing the love of her life, but that moment had to end quickly because she remembered who he belonged to.
They seperated as quick as they could. Both now turning the color of Erza's head.
"I'm so sorry Natsu! That was not my intention! A ball hit me in the head I swear."
Natsu was still trying to make sense of what just happened. He definitely can't tell Lucy of what just happened. At least not yet anyways. They were already going through a lot. He was finally able to calm down.
"It's alright Lissana. I know it was an accident." He reassured her he wasn't mad.
"Are you sure Natsu." She was almost in tears.
"Yea Lissana really don't worry." He gave her a couple pats on the head.
"Alright well it's getting late. I should go home. Goodnight Lissana."
"Goodnight Natsu." They both went their separate ways.
Lissana still had a tint of blush on her cheeks and started to touch her lips.
I had my first kiss. And it was with Natsu.
She smiled to herself.
A few minutes went by and raven haired figure was still standing across the street from where Lissana and Natsu were. He stood there with his teeth clenched and fists shaking. He was on his way home from getting a frozen treat, but then he saw two guild members sharing lip contact. Yet one was in a relationship with one of the best girls ever.
He was now stomping his way to the dragon slayers house to collide his fist with his face.
You're freaking dead Natsu!
