Disclaimer : I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. IT'S BELONG TO HIRO MASHIMA.
As soon as they finish their shopping, the gang comes out from the shop, carrying a bag each. Meredy sends them out.
"Well, don't forget to visit me sometimes." Meredy says while smiling.
"Yeah, of course, Meredy!" Levy replies.
"And.. I hope you'll visit me too, Natsu." Meredy continues while blushing.
"Yeah, no prob." Natsu replies.
Lisanna glares at Meredy. That girl doesn't notice, thanks to her blushing. Geez, no one can have Natsu!
He's mine, damn it!, Lisanna grumbles. But she wonders too. Is Natsu really has the same feelings as her?
"Oi, Lucy," Lyon calls after Meredy says tons of goodbyes to Natsu, closes the door, and the gang start to walk home.
"Hm?"
"Let's go." Lyon says and grab Lucy's hand.
"Hey!" Gray shouts, while Sting stares at Lyon's hand.
"I'm treating her, dummy." Lyon says.
Lucy blinks twice. Oh yeah, she remembers now. Well, maybe some food could let Lucy relax a bit.
"Oh, right, Sure, let's go." Lucy replies.
"Lucy!" Gray protests.
"I'll take her home safely." Lyon says. "So shut up and just go home."
"Hey, don't talk to me that way!" Gray protests.
"It's fine Gray. I'll just let Lyon walk me home." Lucy smiles. "Be careful on your way home."
Gray looks at Lucy. She clearly has problems, but she doesn't want to share them with him. Gray lets a small sigh go. Maybe some treat could fix her mood. And judging this is Lyon, his twin brother, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal.
"Okay. Lyon, be careful. If she has any scratches tomorrow morning, you're so doom, man." Gray warns.
"Sure, sure." Lyon thumbs up then takes Lucy away. "We're off!"
Lucy takes a final glance to Gray and Sting. Both of them look worried, and ehmm... Jealous? She blushes a little but quickly shifts her head.
"So, what do you wanna eat?" Lyon asks.
"Umm.. How about some cakes?" Lucy replies.
"I don't like sweets." Lyon says.
"Not all of cakes are sweet, you know. Come on!" Lucy grabs Lyon's arm and drags him.
"Where you're taking me?" Lyon asks.
"To a cake shop I knew." Lucy replies.
She keeps dragging him until they arrive in front of a shop. It's small but it looks so comfy, cozy and homey. Smell of cakes whirls around.
"Let's go!" Lucy opens the door and enters the shop.
"Excuse me!" Lucy lifts her hand, after the two sat up.
A maid comes closer. "Yes, may I take your orders, please?"
"Yes, one strawberry shortcake and dark chocolate cake." Lucy answers.
"Drinks?"
"One orange juice and one hot dark chocolate."
"Okay, please wait for a moment." says the maid.
"Lucy, I don't like sweets!" Lyon protests after the maid went away.
Lucy nods. "I know."
"Then why did you order hot chocolate and chocolate cake?" Lyon asks.
"Lyon, it's dark chocolate, with 75% cocoa inside. It's not sweet, it's delicious. Well, a bit bitter." Lucy answers.
"Oh."
"You don't have any problems with bitter stuffs, right?" Lucy asks.
"No. I'm fine with them." Lyon replies.
Lucy smiles and Lyon smiles too.
"Oh yeah, come to think of it, something's wrong with you." Lyon says.
Lucy looks at Gray's twin. "Why would you think like that?"
Lyon rolls his eyes. "Duh, I sat beside Gray, which means behind you. I could see you clearly. You're not listening to the lessons and just blankly stares at the sky. Even when Gray asks you, you wouldn't tell him."
Lucy chuckles. "Now you're acting like a superb detective."
"Ha-ha," Lyon laughs bitterly. "honestly, what's wrong?"
Lucy sighs. She put her hand on her chin and tilts her head a bit. "I wonder why."
"Stop being so confusing, please," Lyon grumbles. "maybe you couldn't talk about it with Gray, but you could talk about it with me."
Lucy sighs again. "Lyon, have you ever fell in love?"
Lyon looks at Lucy confusedly. "Sure I have. Why?"
Lucy stays silent for awhile then shakes her head. "No, it's nothing. Just forget about it."
Lyon becomes more confused. "I guess there's something stuck in your brain."
Lucy shows her tongue to Lyon then steps his foot.
"Ow! What's that for?" he protests.
"Thank you for comforting me." Lucy replies calmly while smiling and winking one of her eyes.
"Thank me more gently." Lyon murmurs.
Lucy laughs.
"Oh, there's our cake." Lucy says.
"Wow! That's super tasty! Thanks Lyon!" says Lucy after they went out from the shop.
Lyon checks his wallet. "Yeah, sure. You emptied my wallet, though."
Lucy chuckles. "But that's worth the cake, right? Besides, you didn't bring lots of money from the beginning."
"Ha-ha."
"So, let's go home, shall we?" asks Lucy.
"Sure."
"Do you know my way home?" Lucy asks.
"I've been to your house quite countless, with Gray." Lyon shrugs.
Lucy smiles.
"Huaaaaaa... Huaaaa... *hic* *hic*"
Lucy and Lyon stop their tracks. They listen carefully.
"Is that.. A cry?" Lyon asks.
"A little kid, I think." Lucy replies.
As the sound gets louder, Lyon and Lucy decide to see who makes the sound. They reach the sound's owner. It's a little cute girl.
"Hey, what are you doing here, little one?" Lucy asks while kneeling down, so her height is as same as the little girl's.
"*hic*.. Pa.. *hic* Papa... *hic* Ma.. *hic* Huaaaaa..." The girl keeps hiccuping.
Lucy rubs the little girl's head. Lyon kneels down too, beside Lucy.
"Easy now, little girl. What's your name?" Lyon asks.
"Uhh... *hic* A.. *hic* Asuka.." says the little girl.
"Okay, how did you end up here?" Lyon asks.
Asuka's eyes become more teary and she burst out crying.
"I think she's lost." Lucy says. "Asuka, where are your parents?"
Asuka shakes her head while tears keep running down on her face.
"Okay, stop crying now." Lucy smiles and stands up.
"Where you're going?" Lyon asks.
"Stand up, Lyon." Lucy says.
"Why?"
"Just stand up."
"Well, alright." Lyon stands up.
"Uh.. Uh.." Asuka cries.
With smile, Lucy lifts Asuka.
"Lower your head a bit, Lyon." Lucy says. Lyon does what he's told to.
Lucy then puts Asuka on top of Lyon's shoulder. The little girl blinks with her puffy red eyes.
"There. We'll find your parents this way." smiles Lucy.
Asuka starts to smile then put her small hands on top of Lyon's head. Lyon lets out a small smile, then holds Asuka's little legs.
"Hold on tight!" he says. Lucy brings their belongings.
Together, they start looking for Asuka's parents. The little girl has stopped crying, although she still hiccups sometime. They ask to every people they encounter, asking whether they saw Asuka's parents. She says her Mama has green hair and her Papa has black hair. Whenever the people they ask say 'don't know', Asuka will start to become teary again. In that case, Lyon will spin his body, making Asuka laugh again.
I didn't know Lyon has this side of him., Lucy says in her mind.
It's getting late and they haven't found Asuka's parents. Meanwhile, the little girl has fallen a sleep. She's sleeping peacefully while placing her head on Lyon's head.
"She's one little cute kid, huh?" Lyon asks softly, afraid waking Asuka up.
Lucy smiles and nods. "If I have a daughter like her, I'll be beyond happy."
"Say," Lyon says. "if you have kids, will you raise them by yourself?"
"Why, of course!" Lucy replies instantly.
"Why?" Lyon asks.
"Because I'm their mother!" Lucy says. "Besides, seeing my kids grow up day by day, seeing them laughing all day, it's a truly wonderful feeling. I want my kids to be close to me, and I want to take care of them."
Lyon takes a glance to Lucy. Hard to not admit, that Lucy is beautiful. Her blonde hair is so pretty and she has such gentle and sweet smile. And the top of that, she'll be a great mom.
Err, wait. What? What's with the last sentence?
"Oh?" Lucy says, snapping Lyon back to the reality.
"What?"
"Look at those two people. Green hair and black hair." Lucy points to two people walking towards them.
"Maybe they're Asuka's parents?" Lyon asks.
"Let's go." They walks closer.
"Asuka!" The green haired lady calls the little girl's name, when she sees her sleeping on top of Lyon's head.
Asuka wakes up. "Mama!"
Asuka's mother cries happily. Lucy lifts Asuka and gives her to her mother.
"Thank you, thank you!" Asuka's father says. "We lost her and we've been looking for her. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Alzack Connell, and this is my wife, Bisca Connell."
"I'm Lucy and this is Lyon." Lucy says.
"Thank you so much!" Bisca says. Asuka is curling up inside her mother's arms.
"Thank you onee-chan and onii-chan." Asuka murmurs then go back to sleep.
"Thank you so much once again," Alzack bows a bit. "well, excuse us."
"I'm glad we found her mother." Lucy says.
"Yeah."
"Hey, Lyon?"
"Hm?"
"You'll be a great dad." Lucy says and gives a smile.
Lyon suddenly blushes. His heart beats faster and louder.
Oh crap!, he curses inside. What's happening to me? Why am I thumping like this?
