Hello everyone, it is I once more with another chapter for you all to either enjoy or despise with all of your hatred. Whatever works for you.
By the way, for those who just can't absolutely stand solely NaLu, then you MIGHT want to skip this timeline. Just figured I would just go ahead and let you all know that.
Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Thirty Six: Sham Pain Pt. 1
"Uh, Mira? Are you alright?" Natsu couldn't help but asked the white haired woman, who couldn't help but smile at seeing the pink haired male concern about her.
"Yeah, I'm alright Natsu, just a bit still surprised about what just happened that's all." Mira assured him. Like, she just saw another version of herself kissing Romeo! She figured that with what they have seen so far, she wouldn't get so surprised by anything. Yet she was proven wrong.
While this happened, Romeo was simply relived that other timeline was no longer being watched. The dark purple haired boy just wished the next timeline they will see won't be as… weird. Hopefully.
Their attention was then drawn to Observer, hearing the living constellation about to speak up.
"The link is set, prepare yourselves mortals." The constellar told them.
And with that, they all got ready as they observed the other alternate timeline being shown by the blue smoke once again, like they have been doing for the past few hours.
Light was seen shining through the large window of the bedroom on the second floor of the house. Because of this, one of the occupants in the bed was stirred from their slumber.
The one who awoken first, now sitting up and letting out a yawn as she stretched her arms, was a woman with long blonde hair that went down pass her lower back, with a few locks going over her shoulder as she finished her stretching and yawning. The only thing she was currently wearing was a white bra and white underwear, though the cover was currently blocking everything from her waist down.
"Oh, it's Lucy!" Gray exclaimed, seeing the blonde woman. However he got confused as he turned to look at the blonde, "Uh… that is you right?" The Ice Maker Mage wanted to make sure, since the last time they thought they saw Lucy it was her mother instead.
Lucy, surprised to see the other version of herself, turned her attention to the Ice Maker Mage, as she nodded in confirmation.
"Yeah, that's me." She answered him.
"Huh, she looks older though." Erza noticed, seeing the other version of Lucy a bit older than how she was here in their own world.
"I think her breasts are bigger too!" Wakaba shouted out, granted, they had to look a bit harder, the chest of the other version of the blonde were indeed slightly larger than how they were normally.
And this also got Wakaba to get hit by a Lucy Kick into a wall courtesy of the Celestial Mage, leaving a Wakaba imprinted hole on the wall of the building, getting the others to sigh from the Smoke Mage's action.
Lucy, now fully awake, looked at the time from her alarm on the piece of furniture next to her bed. Seeing that it was only eight in the morning, the blonde smiled before she turned to the still sleeping occupant in the large bed.
"Natsu… it's time to get up now." Lucy spoke in a quiet voice, hoping to stir the other person in the bed.
The response was a low groan as the man, who was nearly completely covered in the covers, continued to try to sleep.
"Heh? Why's Natsu in my bed?" Lucy questioned, not having figured it out why the pink haired male was still sleeping in her own room and bed.
"Even in that world he must be getting in your bed." Gray snickered a little from that.
Erza however noticed something odd.
"I don't think that's the case," The red head stated, getting everyone else confused. Seeing this, the woman went on to explain, "Look at the room they are in, that doesn't look like Lucy's apartment at all."
This got them to be surprised, before they looked back in the other timeline, before noticing that from what they could see so far, it indeed didn't look like Lucy's normal apartment. So where were the other Lucy and Natsu at then?
Lucy merely giggled at Natsu's antics, before she spoke up once more.
"Natsu I made waffles." She merely stated.
And like that, Natsu bolted up wide awake as the pink haired man looked around with stars in his eyes like a kid in a candy store. This also showed his bare chest, and his rather messy and spiky pink haired to the world (AN: Like the hair he gets after the one year timeskip).
"I'll take fifty!" The pink haired Dragon Slayer shouted as he looked around only to see no food in sight. Pouting a little in sadness like a puppy, he looked at the blonde next to him, "No waffles?"
Lucy couldn't stop the small laugh that escaped her lips, getting Natsu to merely look at her with confusion. The laughter ended as the blonde then looked at the pink haired man once more.
"Remember Natsu? We're going out for breakfast today." She reminded the pink haired male, who eyes widened before a large smile appeared on his face.
"Oh yeah, you're right!" He replied to her.
"Oh, they're going to have breakfast with the rest of the guild?" Lisanna guessed, seeing their words with one another.
"It looks like that, unless…," Laxus trailed off, before he guessed something, "Unless they're going on a date."
This got everyone else to stare at the blonde man with wide eyes from the suggestion, as well as getting a blush from both Natsu and Lucy from his words.
"WHAT?!" Everyone else shouted at the Lighting Dragon Slayer.
"Uh… mortals?" Observer spoke up, getting the others to look at the living constellation once more.
"What's wrong Observer?" Lucy asked, trying to ignore what Laxus just suggested, even though it would be nice for that to be true.
"…Look at their hands and shoulders." The living constellation merely told them.
Confuse, the guild did just that as they focused on the alternate older Lucy's and Natsu's hands and shoulders…
…Only to widen their eyes in horror when they didn't see a certain guild symbol on any of them.
"Hey! Where are our guild marks?!" Natsu shouted out loud, not liking the lack of their guild marks.
No one had an answer to that as they merely went on to watch the other alternate timeline once more.
Before they could say anything else, the Celestial Mage and the Fire Dragon Slayer then heard a noise coming from down stairs. The two merely grinned when they heard that.
"Looks like Layla and Daron are already up." Natsu told the blonde, who merely nodded in agreement, her smile not fading away.
"Yeah, sounds like that," Lucy replied to the pink haired man before her, as she then went on, "I guess I should go wake up Maria then, no doubt she would be hungry." The blonde told him, knowing that she would still be asleep even at this time, something she got from the pink haired male across from Lucy.
Natsu merely nodded a little, before he leaned in and gave the blonde a kiss on the lips, to which the woman happily returned.
The sight before them all got both Natsu and Lucy to widen their eyes in a comical manner, as well as getting everyone else to be silent. However, it was only for a moment before they freaked out like they've been doing this whole time.
"WHAT?!" Everyone else shouted out loud, seeing the little love action the alternate Natsu and alternate Lucy were giving to one another.
"THEY'RE MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS?!" Makarov yelled out in shock.
Seeing this and learning about this revelation got the pink haired male and the blonde female to blush even more in embarrassment from this. Meanwhile, a few own present, like Erza and Mira for example, couldn't help but feel a bit… jealous.
'Why can't I be the one to have kids with him?!' They thought to themselves. They better see a timeline where they have their own children with the lovable pink haired Dragon Slayer soon.
The kiss only lasted a moment before the two pulled away, giving the other a loving smile to one another.
"I love you Lucy." Natsu told Lucy.
"I love you too Natsu." Lucy replied back to him.
And with that, the two then got out of their beds before they went into their closet to change.
It didn't take long as the husband and wife then emerged from their closet, fully clothed and ready for the day.
Natsu was wearing a plain sleeveless white colored shirt, and wore black colored pants. He also had a dark brown colored belt on. And last but not least, his usual white scarf he got from Igneel was wrapped nicely around his neck.
Lucy's attire consisted of a pink colored shirt with a single red stripe going across on it and also wore white colored jeans, all which hugged her impressive figure. She also had a dark brown color belt on. Unlike her husband, who remained barefooted, she wore a pair of white socks. She also let her hair remain the same, as she didn't bother to put it in a hairstyle.
Besides, she knew that Natsu liked it more this way, even if he says otherwise.
"I'll go get Maria up; you go check on Layla and Daron okay?" Lucy asked her pink haired husband, who merely nodded to his wife's words.
"You got it Luce." Natsu told her, getting her to smile.
After giving him another kiss, the two exited their bedroom, with Lucy going one way while Natsu went down the other way to the bottom floor.
"I wonder where they are living at." Elfman wondered, as this was clearly not Lucy's apartment, nor was its Natsu's own small house either.
"Maybe they moved somewhere else together?" Levy guessed. After all, usually when a man and woman marry one another, they move into a different place to start their new lives together.
"I want to know where our guild marks are at!" Natsu exclaimed, as he still couldn't find the guild markings anywhere else on the alternate versions of himself and Lucy yet.
"Maybe in this world they put their marks elsewhere on themselves?" Freed guessed, hoping to see if that was just the case. Maybe in this world they put their guild marks elsewhere not visible to the naked eye? At least that's what he guessed.
Everyone merely continued to look at the other alternate timeline once more in hopes of getting more answers.
As Natsu went down the stairs, he arrived in the large opened up living area of the house. The kitchen was all opened up to the living room, making the area seem more massive than it currently was. There was a fireplace that was not in use as of right now, and the walls of the living area looked like that of a cozy cabin.
The pink haired man couldn't help but chuckle a little when he saw two of his kids in the living area, trying to bash each other's face in due to some little argument the two had, all while shouting at one another that how they were better than the other.
The first kid looked to be a girl around five years old. She had long pink colored hair and brown colored eyes. She also wore a simple blue colored shirt and black colored shorts, and was barefooted. This was Layla Dragneel, the oldest child of Natsu and Lucy.
The second kid was a boy who looked to be around four years old. He had messy and spiky blonde hair and black colored eyes. His skin was a bit pale compared to most other kids for some unknown reason, but this didn't bother him. He wore a green colored shirt and black colored shorts as well. He too was barefooted. This was Daron Dragneel, the second child of Natsu and Lucy.
"Wait, that's our children?" Natsu questioned, blushing a little from seeing the two kids he had with the other Lucy in that world.
"There so cute!" Lucy couldn't help but gush, despite the fact that they were her own kids with the pink haired male if the blush on her own face was any evidence of that.
"And they're already fighting like Natsu and Gray do." Macao pointed out, seeing the two spawns of Natsu fighting with one another. Though to be fair due to the kids' age, it did look rather adorable.
His words got some of the others to nod in agreement.
There we go. Chapter done. So what did you all think? Good? Bad? Let me know.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
Everybody seems like they're waiting for me to die
Talk sh*t behind my back, can't look me in the eye
They say I'm overrated, that I should've already faded
Gave a sh*t about it all because I love to be so hated
