Chapter25
The dragon slayer left the blonde mage stand herself in front of the window and went out of the room. Lucy's tears kept falling down. Trying to control them but she failed. She was crying like a baby that needs his mother. She sat down on her knees trying to keep her wincing low in order not to wake the blue cat up. And with that, she cried in silent.
...
Natsu made his way to the hotel's garden as he stood both hands in the pockets of his pants while watching the soft movements of the water in the small lake. He stared and stared and the more he stare the more he feels his cheeks get wetter.
...
"I'm so hungry" stated the flying sitting in one chair of the cabin in the train while putting a large fish in his mouth. The three's job has finally ended well and they are finally going to return to their home fairy tail. The blue exceed didn't get any response. He stared at the both mages. One is sitting in front of him and the other sitting next to him. Lucy was trying to act like she was reading a book and sneaks some glances at the dragon slayer who was staring out of the window not paying attention of what happens inside the train. He saw children with their fathers, adults, elderly people, husbands and wives and couples. He woke up when a small hand hit his cheek. He looked quickly at the left side.
"What?" he asked rubbing the white cheek of his.
"You two always ignore me!" Yelled the Blue cat in anger. Natsu sighed as he twisted his body to face the flying cat.
"Will you stop this childish act" the salamander told him. "I spaced out that's all" the dragon slayer said making Happy's eyes narrowing.
"What is that you are spacing out for?" Asked the exeed. Natsu glanced at the blonde and saw a look of worry in her eyes. But Lucy after being caught staring at the salamander, she returned her head to the book she was reading.
Natsu looked back at Happy "It's just.." Natsu paused as he stared at the blue cat. "I was just thinking of the s-class exam, ok?" he said as he put his left leg on the right one looking out from the Window. "After that I will be having a long journey so-"
"What?!" Happy cut his word off astounded. "What do you mean a long journey?" While Happy was yelling at him. The blonde stared at her friend in a surprise. What he said made her feel guilty and she was blaming herself. When she heard about his love to her, she was dying what do you think how she will act now?
"I.. hate staying at home and not doing anything" he said looking to the other direction.
"Are you really Natsu?" Happy asked. "No you are not, the Natsu I know never say something like that, he never push me away and travel for five years, he never be weird and hopeless" Happy said making Lucy looking at him in pain feeling that she was the reason for all what happened. "You are not Natsu, bring the old one back!" he yelled at him making the whole train stare at the mages.
Natsu heard some mumbling and whispering from the people that was around them. Some people who says that fairy tail never changes and others says that they are noisy as always while some others pray for the God to reach safety before they destroy the train.
Natsu stayed silent not even feeling affected by the blue cat's words. God, he was tired of people's judge to him! He don't know why is this happening to him. He was always free and didn't care about a single thing why now? Why everyone scold him for being another person? Why does everyone scold him for having a pain inside of his heart? Natsu was about to say something but stopped when he saw the blonde's eyes. They were gleaming with tears. Those eyes which always stopped him from doing anything in his life. He looked away knowing that he might also cry if he looked at her more.
"Happy, we will talk about everything later" Happy's eyes widened and looked at him in surprise. "Will you let me rest just for a while, please?" Happy couldn't believe his ear. How much is the dragon slayer can be incurious about his words. He narrowed his eyes in anger then sat down beside him ignoring him as he decided that if the salamander talked to him he will just simply ignore him. While the blonde just stared at the both and was about to cry.
...
Gray Fullbuster and Juvia Lockser were sitting in another train that also head to Magnolia but both silent, both is angry and both narrowing their eyes. Gray couldn't understand the blue haired mage a bit, he just couldn't. How come she loved him that much and now... she refuses, ignores and pushs him away. No, what was worse was that he told her that he is sorry and kissed her but she keeps treating him like that. Gray sighed and opened the window of the train feeling that he is gonna erupt like a volcano.
...
"We finally arrived" the dragon slayer panted as he got out from the train. Everyone was silent looking at the crowd then the blonde's eyes caught a flash of a black hair and in front of him was... wait what?
"Look! Gray is over there with..." the blue cat paused as he saw the blue haired mage. Natsu looked at the blonde worriedly then he glanced at his rival.
"Come on let's go to them" he said trying to ease the situation. The three of them followed the mages as they walked until they got out from the station. Gray suddenly grabbed the elbow of the blue haired.
"We need to talk" he said pulling her together with him.
"G-Gray-san" she said trying to push him away. "Leave my hand!" Gray took Juvia to a place that less people go to but not for Natsu, Lucy and Happy that followed them.
'What is wrong with that bastard?' Natsu asked himself as he was sneaking glances on the blonde mage barely seeing her eyes that were covered by his bangs. Lucy stopped both Natsu and Happy from taking another step as they were away enough to hear everything.
"What's going on?" Happy whispered to both Natsu Lucy. Natsu sent him a look to keep silent.
"Why are treating me like that? I'm not your toy!" The blue haired pulled her arms away from him.
"You are the one who treats me differently!" Gray said back.
"Whatever? Just leave me alone"
"No I'm won't. You love me!" Juvia narrowed her eyes.
"What makes you sure of this? You don't know anything!"
"I know! I know how did you look to Lucy those years I know how did you tried to change yourself because of me, I know... I know that you kept crying last night and didn't sleep" Juvia's eyes went wide and she kept silent.
After a moment of silence "I hate you" she said turning her head away. Gray looked at her as he found tears inside her eyes.
"You still love" he said feeling tired from all this.
"I hate you! I hate you!" She said walking away. Gray suddenly grabbed her hand moving her to face him as he wrabbed her hands around her "I love you" Gray whispered in her ears making her to calm and quiet as she felt warmth from his body even though he was ice mage.
Only Natsu's eyes which widened because he was the only one to hear it. Natsu gritted his teeth in anger.
"He said it, right?" The blonde finally spoke giving the question to the salamander. Natsu stayed silent as he watched her silently. "It's right then" her tears slowly fell down her cheeks and walked away leaving the place. Happy followed her as she went away. Natsu kept staring at the both mages that hugged each other.
"Gray-san" Juvia pushed him away making him stare at her.
"What?" He asked looking at her red eyes.
"Please, don't do this until you talk to Lucy" his eyes widened at hearing the name of his fiancé. Gray rubbed his cheek with the nail of his. "I can't do something like that to my friend" she then took her bag that were thrown some where in the ground and went away heading to her home. Gray stood still in his place not knowing what should he do or how he will tell Lucy something like that.
Suddenly, Gray flew with a fist hitting the wall of a building. "What the hell?!" Gray said rubbing his cheek. "What are you doing flame-brain?!". He looked at the dragon slayer to find that his eyes were glowing with anger. Natsu sat down on his knees as he grabbed Gray from the shirt collar.
"I'm the one who should asking this question, cheater" he said hitting him with several punches. "You made Lucy cry!" He shouted at him making Gray pause and his eyes went wide. "You made her heart ache!" another punch and another one came to his face. Gray's blood started to go out from his mouth. "You made her feel pain!"
"You cheated on her!" He grabbed Gray's collar with both hands "What did she do to you to do something like that?" Natsu asked unable to control his anger anymore. "She loved you so much! She was ready to do anything for you!"Gray kept silent not moving a bit. Natsu left the cloth throwing the ice mage to the ground as he hit it with his back. He got up from his place while his hand were covered in blood. He panted and then took a deep breath "I wish you a nice life you cheater" he then headed out.
Gray stayed in his place staring at the ground. He didn't realize that his whole face was already red from the blood or his bag went missing or anything. He just started to feel a pain inside of his heart. He didn't want Lucy to know that he loves Juvia like that. He is disgusted from himself now. Gray wiped away the blood with a tissue that was in his pocket and then started to search for his bag.
...
"Lucy!" The blue cat flew after the blonde as he used much speed because she was running. Lucy finally reached her house closing the door before anyone could enter. She wasn't able to bear anymore, she broke in her place. She fell down on her place crying. The blonde hugged her legs to her chest. Her crying voice was heard through the whole house that was nearby making the neighbors hear her.
...
Natsu Dragneel threw his bag violently over the room to hit the wall. He sat down on his hammock burying his face in his hands. He was angry, so angry that he was about to kill Gray. How can he do something like that? How can he hurt Lucy? How can he cheats on her? How?
Natsu wasn't believing what just happened. Even though Natsu loved Lucy so much and any guy in his place would be happy because she knows her fiancé's real color, he wasn't happy when he saw her tears in her cheeks, he felt hopeless whenever he saw these tears. Natsu then sighed standing up and adjusting his long bangs that fell from the tie of his long hair while punching Gray. He then decided to go to check on Lucy if she is fine.
This is really gonna be tough!
