(notes): YOOOOOO~! I have returned from the dead with a new chapter.
I died for a while because I was on vacation, so I couldn't update.
So, don't kill me! Oh wait, you can't kill the dead. *insert evil laugh here*
I am weird.
Natsu's P.O.V
Okay, this day started out pretty shitty.
First of all, it started snowing. And I HATE the snow. I fucking hate it.
You know how you sometimes bang (not like that, pervs) your little toe on random pieces of furniture and you want to scream 'FUCK' ? Well, that's how I feel when I see snow. The damned white frozen water is worse than bath day (which happens once a month. I like to keep myself clean).
Secondly, I tripped and fell down the stairs. Crap.
You know how they say; beauty comes from within? Well, I always feel that way when I open my fridge. But somehow, I forgot to restock, and the only thing left in it was a snickers.
Which wasn't half bad, actually. But then I saw that the expiration date had passed like… oh I dunno… three years ago, maybe?
So, I was hungry, my back still hurt like hell, and it kept snowing! Telling myself that 'it could be worse', I left my house, only to walk halfway to Lucy's house, and then remember that I LEFT THE FUCKING BAG AT HOME!
I went back, and found out that I had dropped my keys somewhere along the way, so I had to go back AGAIN.
But guess what? I found an old lady picking up the keys, and I spent half an hour telling her that those were mine, and I wasn't trying to steal them.
When I took my bag, I left for Lucy's place again, and it started snowing a lot worse than before! I made it to her house, but she wasn't home. I wondered why, so I decided to call her.
And guess what? I forgot my phone at home. Yes. Yes, I did.
So I went back, AGAIN, only to find out that the battery died, and it needed to be charged.
So, yelling out all the curse words I know, I threw the phone at the wall, and cracked the screen. Well, shit. That can't be fixed with duct tape.
That's when I glanced back at the clock, to see that I was… guess what… AN HOUR LATE FOR SCHOOL.
That's why Lucy wasn't home!
I left the house in a hurry, wanting to at least get there in time for lunch break.
"Where were you?" snow-cone asked, as I slumped down in one of the chairs in the cafeteria. I managed to get here just in time for lunch, but I missed two classes. And I had both of them with Lucy. Now, I won't have any other class with her for the rest of the day, except for the last one.
Fuck my life.
"Well, a lot of things happened…" I said, not really wanting to explain my situation to the underwear ballerina.
Lucy and Erza joined the table, and my day immediately changed for the better!
"Natsu, you're wearing your uniform wrong."
Well, almost.
"What?" I looked down on myself, only to see that what Erza said, was in fact true. The beige vest was flipped over, and I looked like e total loser. Which I'm not. I'm awesome.
"So, Lucy, I heard you got a love letter in your locker?"
I started choking, as the French fry I was eating got stuck in my throat. The others gave me a questioning look, not really bothering to help me. They think I'm joking?
I should get new friends… except Lucy.
Suddenly a hand hit my back hard, and the fry I was choking on flew out of my mouth… and into Erza's hair.
… Damn… that woman can hit hard.
I was still rubbing my red cheek, when I turned around to see who had helped me.
Loke.
"Thanks bro."
But he didn't pay any attention to what I was saying. Instead, he ... winked at LUCY!? I saw her blush madly, as she looked down to avoiding his burning stare. Loke just laughed, before waving and walking away. The fuck!?
"What was that about?" Mira suddenly asked, looking at Lucy.
Lucy blushed even harder.
"Is he maybe connected to the love letter you got?" Levy smirked.
I swear, if I was eating another French fry right now, I would've choked on that one, too.
I looked over at Lucy, only to see her take out a pink envelope, and give it to Mira. Because I was sitting next to the SheDevil, I could easily see everything.
The letter smelled like roses, and it was written in a pretty neat handwriting.
"You look so familiar… didn't we take a class together? I could've sworn we had chemistry.
Your prince, Loke"
Chemistry huh? Nah, she has chemistry with me, and I've never seen Lo-… Ooooooooooh.
I see what you did there.
"Oh my! Lucy this is amazing! Your kids would look so cute!" Mira suddenly said, as she closed her eyes, to enter MiraLand, the place where all her ships come true.
Levy and Erza agreed, as the whole table started talking about Lucy and Loke's babies. Mira even gave them a name – Lolu!
Great. This can not get any worse.
"So, did you guys study for the Math Test?"
…
Wait a minute.
"WHAT MATH TEST!?"
"Uhh…", Gray shot me a look that said 'dafuq-is-wrong-with-ya', before saying "The one we'll be having today. You know, last class."
Nope.
"Yeah. It will count for 70% of our final grade." Levy said.
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.
"And it covers all of the material we've learned so far." Erza added.
Well, R.I.P Natsu Dragneel.
Turns out the math test wasn't so bad. Ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Who am I kidding? The only thing I knew how to answer was: Name:_(?)_
Lucy helped me out on a few questions, but the teacher caught me asking her, and made me sit at his desk.
So here I am, outside of school, waiting for Lucy to come out of the bathroom.
I swear, girls take too long. What does she even do in there?
"Hey Natsu." I heard someone cal out my name. I turned around, only to meet the orange haired 'prince' who gave Lucy a love letter. Correction: Gave my Lucy a love letter.
"Yo." I greeted back.
"So… I heard you and Heartfilia are pretty close." He said, suddenly. I did not see that coming.
"She has a name." I said, coldly.
"Oh that's right. Lucy. But I guess you wouldn't mind if I called her Luce, right?"
Oh hell no.
"I would mind." I replied through clenched teeth.
"Oh? And why is that? You don't own her, Dragneel." He said, and I heard something inside of me snap.
"What did you say?!"
"I said she's not your property. But you still follow her around, hug her all the time, walk her to classes, walk her home… When in reality, you're just a boy who's desperately trying to get out of the friend zone."
"Son of a—"
"I'm not here to fight, Dragneel. I'm just here to tell you to stay away from her."
"Listen here bastard, Lucy belongs to me."
"Oh? Since when?"
"Since the day I met her." I hissed out, and I meant every word I said. She did belong to me.
"oh yeah!?"
"Yeah!"
Seriously, this day could not get any worse.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Lucy walked out.
Okay, now it can't get any worse.
"So, Lucy… Are you free this evening?"
I stand corrected. I guess fate just has a way of ruining your life no matter what.
It's like, you finally get past the level of some game you were trying to beat for weeks, and you couldn't be happier, and suddenly, your little brother calls to tell you your goldfish died.
Okay, maybe that wasn't the best way of putting it, but you're smart people. You know what I mean. I think.
I could see that Lucy was thinking, and just about when she was going to nod, I felt the need to come up with something, fast. So, I did.
"NO!" I yelled, as both of them looked at me, surprised. "She uh… was going to stop by at my place and uh… help me feed my unicorn!"
Seriously, Natsu? Unicorn?
Loke started laughing like crazy, and Lucy just gave me a 'what-the-fuck' look. I mentally face-palmed myself, and tried thinking of something to say.
And, as if I'm doomed to a life of misery, it started snowing again. The white crap fell down on the streets, the cars, Loke's laughing head, and Lucy's yellow hair. Damn, I wanted to just slap away the snowflakes for touching her! Wow, jealous of snow, Natsu? Really?
"You need to feed your unicorn?" Loke asked, wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye.
"Yes. It eats marshmallows."
…
I am not a smart man.
Loke started laughing again, as Lucy looked uncomfortable. I took this as a sign to leave.
"Let's go Lucy," I said, swinging my arm across her shoulders, as we both started walking away.
She surprisingly didn't put up much of a fight against me leading her away from that bastard. Instead, she started walking away too. But, Loke was quicker, he ran up in front of us, as we both came to a stop, in front of him.
"So," He said, pushing up his glasses, "I'll pick you up at 8."
I looked over to Lucy, as she blushed, and nodded.
Oh, thank goodness, for a moment there, I thought she was going to—…
HOLY SHIT. SHE DID NOT JUST NOD. NO.
Okay. I think it's time, I dub thee: The worst day of my life!
Well, always look at the bright side, they say.
"Great. We can go for a ride, at a fancy restaurant, and it will be only the two of us." Loke said.
Lucy gave out another nod.
"Great then." He said. "It's a date."
…
And that's when I realized something…
THERE IS NO BRIGHT SIDE.
Great. Now Lucy and Loke will marry, grow old together, have babies and stuff. And I'll have to die alone, and be the first ever "Crazy Cat Lady; Man edition."
I will have a thousand cats who will run around the dirty old apartment, peeing everywhere, and having little kittens in the bowl in which I eat my cereal. And what if one of them dies!? I'll have to make a funeral and everything! But… I don't know how to burry them! I don't even know what they eat!
"I DON'T WANT TO BE THE CRAZY CAT MAN!"
…
Did I just say that out loud?
Yes, I did, since Loke keeps laughing like an idiot, and Lucy's eyebrow is raised as high as the Empire State Building.
"Actually, Lucy," Loke began, "why don't we start our date here?" He asked, emphasizing the word 'date'. "I don't think it's safe for you to walk home with this…" he paused to look at me, "creature."
I was just about to argue and protest, when he grabbed her hand, and they started walking away from me. Lucy looked back, and gave me an apologetic look, before turning her head back, to leave me alone in the fucking annoying snow, and go have fun with her 'boyfriend-to-be'.
They were far away from me now. I stayed quiet, taking in everything that happened today. This was officially the worst day I've ever had. The snow started falling at a quicker pace, and the wind started blowing. I really hope that bastard gives Lucy his jacket.
I looked up from the white snow carpet on the ground, to look at the fading figures walking away from me. They couldn't hear me now, since they were located at a good distance away from me.
I sucked in a deep breath, before standing up on my toes, and yelling, "What about the unicorn?"
(notes): Poor Natsu… His day really did suck. *sniff sniff*
Random useless fact: My sister hates pizza.
Also, I really missed reading your reviews guys! Thanks so much for reading and supporting my story, and thanks to everyone who wished me a nice time on my vacation! I love all of you!
Oh, also—completely unrelated—the boy I like called me today. We talked for a good 20 minutes, before he said he had a date to go to… THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING ME BEFORE GOING TO MEET UP WITH SOME RANDOM BITCH THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU OTHER THAN FACEBOOK! I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR 9 YEARS, AND YOU STILL FUCKING CALL ME 'MY BEST FRIEND THAT I LOVE SO MUCH!' WELL FUCK YOU TOO. I HOPE SHE SPILLS HER DRINK ON YOUR JEANS AND YOU END UP LOOKING LIKE YOU PEED YOURSELF.
… Sorry… I just needed to get that out of my system.
LOTS 'O' LOVE!
~ With Keys, Through Flames! Aye! ~
