Natsu ~ ՕoOoOoOoOo ~ Dragneel
When I woke up, Happy was still sleeping. I haven't spent much time with him so this was my chance to quickly go tell Lucy that I was going to be with Happy for today. I wanted to stop by the guild as well, but I knew if I were to tell her that it would be awkward.
"I'll be back in no time buddy…" I whispered softly to Happy in his sleep, before running out the door. I fixed my scarf until my finger brushed against something sending a shock of pain throughout my neck.
"What the?!"
I removed my scarf and went back inside and stared into the broken glass that barely hung on the wall.
"A scar?"
Then, everything hit be like the crash of a wave.
"You love me right? Well at least you say you do, so we can be soulmates. You have to wait until the day comes, just wait until the word love even comes to mind for me. We will be different, though, from any other soulmates."
"Soulmate….?"
"It's like a best friend…but something more you know? They share a strong bond, so we will make a promise, maybe our last promise, the last promise that will actually mean something…You cut me, I cut you, so we will always remember each other, and if someone asks what happened, we reply with. 'My Soulmate'…"
The scar lay fresh and new against my skin; its pink shininess was shocking.
Was it even possible to get a scar so fast like that?
I found myself smiling, I didn't mind not one bit. Quickly I put the scarf back on over the scar and ran out the door once again.
~ՕoOoOoOoOo~
Jude locked himself in his office once again.
Rose let the beads of water fall from her eyes and she allowed her bellowed screams to fill the air.
"Mistress…Why did you have to go? Did you really think so less of us?" Rose managed to choke.
~ՕoOoOoOoOo~
Jude faced the wall, his face creased and his fists closed so tight he could feel the sweat trapped inside them. That's when he heard a sound that almost stopped his heart. From the other side of the room was a sobbing sound, like a small child who's lost their mother. There was no small child in the room, only him and her doll that she never let out of her sight for a second.
He hated himself.
He hated the man who was only worried about money.
Which was him.
That man just tore another strip off of his heart because he wanted more money. He should've listened to her. Should've listened to her words that he wanted her to know never left his head for more than 5 seconds.
~XXX-XXX~
"Uh…I…Uh...Can…I…"
"May my friend come over today?"
"Yes! He's really nice and I think of him as a brother! He's really annoying even though we just met! Don't even make me start on how stubborn he is! Gosh. He's a pain."
"Yes, his name is Natsu Dragneel…"
"You think…that money is the solution to everything don't you! ALL I WANTED WAS A BOND BETWEEN US! EVEN IF IT IS JUST A SPARK!"
"NO, I GAVE YOU ENOUGH CHANCES TO EXPLAIN AND ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO FIX OUR RELATIONSHIP. YOU PUSH ME AWAY SO I FIGURED THAT MAYBE YOU WILL MAKE THE MOVE BUT I WAS WRONG!"
"How could you make me suffer! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE MY FACE THEN I COULD BE WITH MOTHER! IF THAT'S WHAT YOU SO DESPARETLY WANT!"
This can only mean one thing – he has no more to give. He turned to face himself in the mirror only to find himself grasping the doll, shoulders shaking and the sound of struggling to breathe against the crying.
He remembers everything he said too.
~XXX-XXX~
"You know, I haven't seen her happy like that in ages, please keep her smiling like that"
"You don't have to tell me that, I was already planning on doing so, permission or not, nothing was and is going to stop me…"
"You know Natsu, your welcome to come here anytime!"
"Don't have to tell me a second time."
Hey! Natsu, how's Lucy hanging on?"
"Like you care!?"
"Natsu I know you, don't like me but please just make sure she's safe, I can't afford to lose her like Layla, her mother."
And then, there were those words. Those words that really got to him and even made him put his new paycheck down.
"I care for MY friends more than anything and anyone. I'm not trying to ignore you, but when you realize how much she was in pain…no still IS, then I'll consider talking to you, but let's get one thing straight! I could care less who you are, what you do, and how rich YOU are, I will never FORGIVE you for hurting one of MY friends, nor will the rest of us. Luce will never be in harm like that, ever again, she has her friends that consider her FAMILY. Maybe you should start considering your daughter, family. I see it in her eyes. She craves it, craves the bond. Trust me, I don't have a dad but when I did I could care less about everything around me. My dad was the only treasure I had, but he left. I suffered for years trying to find him, and here we are in 8th grade, I'm still suffering and so is she. Let me remind you something Mr. Heartfilia, every night that girl that's precious to me cries herself to sleep, puts fake smiles on her face, and forgets about herself. Yea, it's awesome that she puts others before her, but I will never allow her to forget about herself! So if I were you, I would take a good look around and find that person that stands out the most…"
~ՕoOoOoOoOo~
The greatest mistake Jude ever made was thinking that work ever mattered. He had 6 previous years to change their relationship. His relationship with his daughter.
She was the only thing he had.
Yet, he treated her like she didn't even exist.
He spent most of those years in an office cubicle, working late, being churlish when she asked for an extra bedtime story, or even said she loved him.
Now look at him.
Nothing but a shell.
Worse than a robot and bereft of a love he took for granted. His heat isn't merely broken, it is a shadow of what it was and fading a little more every second.
He should have known she was going to do this.
Run away.
He shouldn't have doubted her.
However, like always, he did.
He always did this.
Always say he was sorry and regret his decisions, but he would do it anyways.
Jude clenched his fists tighter feeling more sweat be collected in them. Last night he came in her room. He was going to tell her she didn't have to marry because he knew.
Tell her things were going to change from now on, but he didn't get the chance to. He entered her room only to find her bed made, made in a manner where it has been unslept in or untouched. The window was wide open allowing the fresh breeze to blow the curtains and her duvet a little. Her doll was laying on her bed in the middle with that smile. If Jude could speak for the doll, he knew that the doll didn't want to be smiling with a wide smile like that. Lucy's box that was always nicely kept at the edge of her desk in her room was gone. Everything was almost…gone.
The glass mermaid that she put all her money in was no longer there. Jude walked closer and opened her small drawers to find them empty.
Empty.
The only thing that still rested in the dusty spaces, were picture books and a small wooden frame with Lucy, Layla, Michelle, and Jude, along with the weird spirits that Layla summoned in the background.
"She's…"
Jude stopped himself from finishing the sentence that he was positive would make him struggle to hold in tears.
She was trying to move away from the past and all the bonds.
Jude knew, though, knew Lucy. Even though their relationship wasn't strong, he knew her so well. He was her own daughter for crying aloud, he would at least know her.
The way Lucy would talk to him.
Look at him.
Smile at him.
Even if she didn't know yet, Jude knew Lucy loved Natsu. He knew it.
Sometimes at night, Jude would go outside on his balcony and watch them on the roof. Natsu would look at her with confusion beaming in his eyes, and most the time when she was in her own world while looking at the stars, Natsu was in his own world while looking at her.
Jude knew that Natsu loved her way before Lucy even thought about that. He purposely defined what love meant in front of him and purposely brought up the situation of Lucy marrying.
When he saw his expression it was written all over his face, he was jealous.
He loved her.
Jude was perfectly fine with that. He couldn't have asked for someone better to love his daughter.
Jude knew he shouldn't be smiling in the condition of what was happening, but he couldn't help it.
~ՕoOoOoOoOo~
Jude snapped out of his thoughts and took a deep breath, he was going to change. So he stepped out to comfort Rose.
And make things right…
~ՕoOoOoOoOo~
Natsu busted her window open. It was locked but he was almost positive you wouldn't be able to lock it anymore. Meaning he broke it.
"Hey! Luce! You in here!?" Natsu said feeling really confused when he didn't see her.
Everything was so still. Natsu noticed half the things in her room were gone too.
The sweet smell of Lucy's scent lingered in the air so that when Natsu sniffed the air in her room it was like a shot of adrenaline right to his heart. Silence crashed down around him. Even the windy spring weather and rustling leaves have ceased their scudding outside. Natsu cracked Lucy's door open and stuck his head out.
The familiar smell of filter coffee, that Rose and dissipated into the crisp air. Natsu's nose tingled at all the new smells that entered his nose.
But none was Lucy's.
So she wasn't out there.
Where was she then?
Natsu collapsed on Lucy's bed feeling depression wash over him. Something poked him in his side and he got up and ripped Lucy's duvet off.
"An envelope?"
Natsu picked up the envelope and ripped it open to find a letter.
You know.
I knew this is how you would find it. I know you too good Natsu. Right now you're probably in my room looking for me and just laid on my bed like always.
I want to get to the point.
I left.
I left to let go of my past. To forget about everything and everyone until now. I want to transition into a new Lucy. Someone who won't run away. Well,…you could call this running away, I mean I do. I apologize. Not for leaving, but for breaking Lisanna's promise. I'm not telling you where I left to, you don't need to know nor does anyone else. My dad and Rose should know that I left already, they might've even discovered it late at night. When we made that promise of being soulmates I was so relieved yet sad at the same time that you didn't notice it was a goodbye.
When I told you we will be different, by that I meant really different. Soulmates are always together, tied together by a bond. We are different because we aren't tied together at all, except for the promises of the stars, and the scars we have made on each other. Mine is already fading…I apologize, I hope yours isn't, I want you to not remember me and then remember me at the same time. You remember how I said the soulmate thing was our last promise?
I take that back. I want this to be our last promise. I want you to try and let go of me. I know this is probably crazy for you to hear, but whenever I write on paper or write a letter, I express myself in a totally different way.
My father knew. I knew. Everyone knew. I didn't want to know…but I knew.
I knew I loved you Natsu…I always have, just like you told me. I need to go now. Please promise me…promise me you won't ever let this ruin your life or get in the way. Explain to our friends what happened for me.
Love,
Lucy Heartfilia or Luce
Natsu finished reading the letter.
"…"
He started laughing until the laughter transitioned into crying. He couldn't describe his heartache, sadness, and rage.
His rage built like deep water currents.
I did everything right - everything -and still this is what I get?!
That's when Natsu's anger comes, unleashed without thought of consequence. Even those that didn't earn this wrath today will earn it at some point.
Until then, he took his rage out on him.
Natsu reduced to human rubble from Lucy's words. Natsu's mind is cleared, cleared of all things except for moments of them.
~XXX-XXX~
He looked at her and smiled. Lucy nodded in acknowledgement, her head against the doorframe and her arms folded.
"What's wrong?" Natsu asked.
"I'm in a bad mood."
She didn't look at him to see his reaction; frankly she didn't care. But then Lucy felt him move closer and pick something out of her hair, sliding it down the strand slowly and carefully. She didn't know what it was, possibly blossom; it was early spring. But in that moment she suddenly felt different, it was a sensitive act. Normally he or any other boy would grunt,
"You've got something in your hair".
This was different; it was an attentive side she hadn't seen before. Natsu pulled out a blossom from her hair. Just seeing her in that grumpy mood made him smile wide.
~XXX-XXX~
A hug was one thing, but Lucy's hands on Natsu's shoulder made him feel uncomfortably happy. They sat down until late night and there wasn't a moment when there was silence. The fireworks were crackling in the air and Erza was shouting unnecessary things along with everyone else. However, Natsu and Lucy sat down on a blanket and watched the fireworks. He could no longer hide his smile because of her being in awe. Juvia glared at Lucy and mouthed words
Y-O-U T-A-K-E M-Y G-R-A-Y I W-I-L-L T-A-K-E Y-O-U-R S-O-U-L.
Natsu was laughing so much his jaws were hurting. After the fireworks finished covering the sky in smoke, Lucy stood up with a big mile.
"Hey, Guys! I'm going to take the train back home! We are at least 2 hours away from Magnolia! I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
"What!? Lucy you aren't going to go alone right?!" Lisanna said.
Natsu doesn't know what happened to him, but he blurted out,
"Hey, I'll come back home with you, it's cool. I've got nothing to do."
"Ok…ay… If you really say so…" and she just flashed a cute smile at him, like always. The guys smiled at Natsu too. Maybe they thought there was something more than just burnt smoke and fire in the air.
Natsu always felt his heart pulse when Lucy smiled.
Ever since they were kids, Natsu eagerly waited for her to smile.
Nor had he ever felt his heart skip a beat like this before. He was so happy and intoxicated by their company, and yet, Lucy's presence was doing more damage than all the others. All of them hugged each other one more time, and Lucy and Natsu got onto the train.
Yes, of course, he got motion sickness, but he practically begged Wendy to do her healing spell, even if it lasted for just a minute, after a while he convinced her.
Natsu and Lucy spoke all along the way, and soon, they got to Lucy's home. Natsu just looked at her then at the stars.
"Are you busy?" she asked without preamble.
"What do you mean…?"
"Well, it's been a while, and I'm free tomorrow night. Even though we see each other a lot we don't get to hang out a lot, with the others too, so I wanted to know if we can catch up. The other guys are all busy on Sundays, and I'm not… so… you free tomorrow? Hey, wait a minute, are you busy with Happy or something?"
"No… no!" Natsu stammered back, he didn't know why he was stammering. Natsu felt so out of control with her.
"All right then, I'll come over to your place tomorrow…we could work on magic and I want to punch that stupid cats head for saying I'm too heavy! HE'S TINY SO EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE HEAVY" she shouted, as she walked away.
Natsu walked up to her. He hugged her long, and looked at her. She looked back at him. It didn't feel like they were friends anymore. The air was crackling with something Natsu couldn't explain. He knew these feelings now. Everyone explaining it, Mira's weird ships.
"I really missed you! Same with everyone else! School gets in the way."
And at that point, Natsu could've sworn, even in the dark, he could see her cheeks go pink with that stuff.
Was she blushing?
She slapped his face lightly, and her hands took their time to slide away from his cheek. "Idiot…" she smiled. Her smile was infectious. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Oh and by the way…Natsu?"
"Yeah, Luce?"
"Tell Happy to go paint himself pink and if he does I will give him as much fish as he wants."
"Got it Luce! Night!"
Natsu looked up at the sky again. It was covered in dark murky clouds.
"No stars tonight I guess…"
~ՕoOoOoOoOo~
Natsu let more tears silently fall from his face, until he wiped his tears away and stood up straight, fixing his posture.
"You broke one of our promises…So I'm going to break one of yours. I'm looking for you. I'm not letting go of you."
He shoved the Letter into his pocket and jumped out the window.
Natsu's heart remained tight and tense.
It never went away not one bit.
He didn't know if he should be enraged or upset. He did know one thing, though…
Lucy, I still love you. You really think after you tell me you love me that I'm going to just let you go? You must be the one that's the idiot you, idiot.
PHEW. ALMOST 4,000. WOW LONGEST CHAPTER I EVER MADE.
I OWED YOU GUYS. HEHE THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS AND FOLLOWS. YOU GUYS ARE MY FAMILY.
Like I don't really have a like…you know "the decent family."
So you guys are my FAMILY/ FRIENDS.
So what will your promise with the stars be tonight?
