WHEN WE WERE KIDS
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
"The play. The play. The play." I said, as soon as I woke up.
"Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" I said, as I ate my breakfast.
"Then have my lips, the sin they have took." I said, brushing my teeth.
"You kiss by the book." I said, packing my bag.
"Lulu, your friends are here." Silver said.
"Come hither, nurse, what is yond gentleman?" I said as Cana and Natsu came into my room.
"Give it a rest, Lucy, that way of speaking hurts my head." Natsu said.
"Though is an uneducated lousy...person..." I said, not finding a retort that was old english enough.
"Lousy person? Ha." He scoffed.
"Oy, Romeo, need I remind thee, that these are my bed chambers, and yonder gentleman seems to be trespassing!"
"Luce..." he said, blocking his ears. Cana and I laughed.
"So, when is it?" I asked her.
"Today."
"Yes, I know that, I mean at what time?"
"Straight after school."
"Okay, Natsu, does thee know thy lines?" I asked him. He put earphones in.
"Lucy, or should I say Juliet, how dare thee fratenise with a Montague?! I, Lady Capulet, your mother, should forbid thee!" She said.
"But mother o' mine! Even though my lover is a lousy person, Mine feelings are Romeo Montague's..." I said, playing along.
"Here, I'll make it simple. Yo, Juliet's mom!" Natsu said to Cana, removing one earphone.
"Yes, vulgar child?"
"I'll give you wiskey, and you give me your daughter." He said.
"Your on." She said, and pushed me. I fell onto the bed, landing on his chest. He put his arm around me, and smiled. I laughed.
"So, where is Capulet?" I asked. Bickslow, who was being my father, and Cana's husband, hadn't been walking in with us for a while.
"He's moved. He lives at the other side of town." She said, sighing. "Shame, I wanted a drink tomorrow..."
"You." Natsu said, tapping my head.
"What?" I asked.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" He asked. I laughed, sat up, and kissed him.
"You two, come on." Cana said.
"Wait a second!" Natsu said, and kissed me again.
"Obba! Lucy and Natsu are kissing again!" She said.
"Honestly..." We heard her say, and walk down the corridor. I pushed Natsu away, and got off the bed.
"No we weren't. We're just going to school now." I said, picking up my bag. We walked to the door, and I was about to open it, when there was a knock. I opened, to find Sting.
"Hi, Lucy!" He said.
"Sting! What are you doing here at this time?" I asked. He had been visiting often, since the whole doppleganger Tristan thing.
"I came to see Obba, I wanted to know how she was doing." He said, leaning against the doorframe. Yes, I am fangirling.
"So cute..." Cana muttered.
"Hello, Sting, come in!" Obba said. He nodded, and walked past me. The hall was narrow, so I stood back on the wall, to leave him room to go past. He stopped, in front of me.
"Hey Lucy, have you ever been to the Golden Lion?" He asked. It was a restaurant down town.
"No, why?" I asked.
"Maybe we-"
"Nope, she's busy." Natsu said, and pushed me out the door. I heard Sting chuckle as Cana closed the door.
"Bastard..." Natsu muttered.
"Ha, that was funny." Cana said.
We arrived at school. The bell rung, first class, bioligie, it went by in a flash, next class, physics, excellent, Levy speaking time.
"Hi!" I said, sitting down next to her, she seemed down again. "Levy-chan?" I asked.
"Lu-chan, can I ask you something?" She said.
"Go ahead."
"If I lose my virginity, does that make me a slut?" She asked. The question surprised me.
"What? No, well, it depends..." I said. "But knowing you, it won't. Why?"
"What do you mean it depends?"
"If you do it with someone you don't love for the sake of it, then yes, and if you do it with someone you love, then no."
"Okay."
"Why?"
"Gajeel asked me. He said he was okay with it, I said I didn't know." She replied.
"Levy-chan, you just said that like it was nothing!" I laughed.
"But I'm only fifteen...and it's kind of quick, isn't it?" She said.
"It's your relationship, you decide wether it's quick or not." I said. She smiled.
"You sound like as if you've been in a relationship." She laughed.
"Yeah..." I smiled.
"Will you tell him?" She asked me.
"Hmmm...okay, the formula to convert light years into-"
"Lu-chan, did you just change the subject?"
"Kilometers is d equals s, or c, times delta t. Or, distance-"
"Lu-chan!"
"Equals the speed of light per meter second, multiplied delta the time it get's there in seconds." I said. If you haven't guessed it already, I love science ^^
"You just changed the subject." She said.
"I did. Now, come on, let's finaly do some physics." I laughed.
"Lu-chan..." she said, looking suspiciously at me.
Lunch arrived, and I sat with Natsu, Erza, and Gray, who was staying out of the trouble between Juvia and Cana, whatever it was.
You two haven't really changed when you're around each other." Erza said.
"Why should we? We loved each other before, anyway, we just didn't tell one another." Natsu said.
"Aw, look at him using big words, it's amazing how quickly they grow." Gray teased.
"Shut up." Natsu said.
"Interesting..." Erza said.
"What is?" I asked.
"He said, 'we loved each other'. He was using the word 'love', not 'like', which is the term usually used with teenage romances."
"So?" Natsu said.
"It means you love each other propely, not just some teenage one shot, you really love each other." She said, smiling. I looked at Natsu, who looked at me, and grinned, I smiled back.
"Of course he would, after all, we are really in love." I said.
We finished lunch, Natsu and I went to the games room, it was always silent, and we could either catch a nap, or just chat. We sat on two of the red chairs, which were extremely comfy.
"Lucy?" He said, after silence.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I love you." He said. I smiled.
"I love you too."
"No, I mean I really love you, as in, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't want this to be over, ever, I don't want this to be a teenage romance." He said. My heart felt warm at the words. I knew that that was how I felt, but he had just managed to put that into words.
"Natsu, I couldn't imagine my future without you, I don't want a future without you, because I love you like I've never felt I ever could love someone." I answered. He looked into my eyes, I looked into his.
"Two years." He said.
"What?"
"I'll marry you." He said.
"Is this a proposal?" I smiled.
"No, just a promise." He said, and kissed me.
"Okay, I'll hold you to it." I laughed.
"I'll keep it." He laughed, and sat back in his chair. We heard the door open, and in came Mirajane.
"You two! I've been looking everywhere for you!" She said, and grabbed us.
"Hey!" We both said.
"Come on! Didn't I tell you? The rest of school is of for the play staff! Last dresss rehearsal!" She told us, as we walked quickly to the theatre room.
After rehearsing, and not having enough time to get to the end, we all started to get nervous, as the sound of people filling the hall could be heard behind the curtains. The noise from the crowd died down, and the play started.
Mira had one role, the prologue. she walked on stage.
"Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend." She said, and was clapped as she walked off.
The start of the play went well, Natsu seemed to remember his lines when he was talking to Benvolio (Gray) and was not trying to hit him. It continued without flaw, and then, it was the famous balcony scene. I walked onto it, a platform behind a set decoration, and appeared at the 'window'. Romeo, or Natsu, saw me.
"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!" He said, exagerating his arm movements, and remembering his longest line. I smiled.
"Ay me!"
"She speaks!" He continued his lines.
When I said "Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Everyone clapped at the famous line.
The rest of the play went without trouble, if it wasn't for Levy the nurse tripping on her dress, and thus arrived the sad ending of the play. I was lying on the table, in a white dress, holding a bunch of white flowers in my hands. Romeo came onto the stage.
"Juliet! What cruel fate has led to thine death?" He said, as he ran towards my side, and hugged me.
"Lucy." He whispered. "I've forgotten my lines." He said.
I only managed to mutter "Improvise." Without anyone seeing my lips moving. He lifted himself.
"Thou path may have ended, mine love, but I canneth see the light on mine path. Thou were mine light..." he said. I heard the sound of him pulling the dagger. "I shall join thee in death." He said. I waited for the sound of falling, but I heard him whipser.
"Way too depressing."
Oh god.
This was bad.
"I shall live forth for mine love!" He said, throwing the dagger on the floor. "She gave me thine light! If I were to die, who would remember her? It is my task to remember her, and her sorry fate!" He declared. I heard muttering behind the curtains, and someone pushed Friar Jon (Elfman) onto stage.
"My lord! Juliet! She is not dead! But put under the influence of a potion!" He said, trying to keep up with the old english.
Well, hell with it. I stired, and sat up.
"Romeo? Wherefore art thou?" I asked, tiredly.
"Juliet!" He said, throwing himself into my arms. He pulled me from the table. ""Thou is alive!" He said.
"I do not doubt such a thing."
"I thought thee was dead."
"I thought thee knew the plan." I said.
"I love thee." He said.
"You kiss by the book." I repeated one more time, for comedic value, as he kissed me. It was the end of the show. Everyone clapped, cheered, stood up, as we kissed. I herd Elfman say "That was MANLY!"
All the actors and Mira walked on set, as we stopped kissing, we held everyone's hands, and bowed to the crowd, who still clapped.
We went backstage.
"What the HELL was that?" Erza asked, she looked angry.
"Amazing! That'a what it was!" Mira clapped, everyone looked at her. "You just made Romeo and Juliet become a better story!" She said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Yeah, well done, Natsu!" I said, ruffling his hair. He smiled.
"Well done!" Levy said.
"Must admit..." Gajeel grumbled.
"You've done someting clever for once." Gray muttered.
"Thanks, but Lucy gave me the idea to improvise." He said.
"Shut up! All I said was improvise, you did everything!" I said, laughing.
"How does he kiss?" Levy muttered into my ear whilst everyone congratulated Natsu.
"Levy!" I laughed.
"Go on, how does he kiss?" She asked again. I sighed.
"Try to imagine that feeling when you put warm clothes on, and surprisingly soft lips, on your mouth." I said. She giggled.
"Wow, I envy you." She said.
"Go kiss Gajeel." I said. She laughed, but still went off.
I smiled, all was perfect.
"Hey." Gray said, as he leant against the table I was leaning against.
"Hi." I answered. He handed me a bottle of water. "Thanks." I said, and drank.
"You made a good Juliet." He said.
"Thanks, nothing compared to your Benvolio, though." I laughed. He smiled.
"I feel like we dont speak enough, Lucy." He said.
"What? You're one of my good friends! But, now you mention it..." I answered, remembering that we hadn't actually spoken much.
"Want to take a breath outside?" He offered. I nodded. We walked outside, and stood by the building, the air was fresh and crisp.
"Do you want to talk about something?" I asked.
"Yes."
"What?"
"Magic." He said, I froze.
"W-why?" I asked, trying to act as non-suspicsiously as possible.
"Don't pretend. I saw your keys." He said. I sighed.
"God dammit." I said. "What are you going to do? Tell the headmaster? Chuck me out of school?" I asked.
"No."
"Huh?"
"Why would I do that? You're a good friend, after all." He said, smiling. "I'm going to show you something." He said.
"What?" I asked. He took his shirt off. "Gray! I know it's a habit, but seriously!" I said.
"Wait." He said. "Ul isn't my mother, and my lost brother isn't actually my lost brother, he's my lost classmate, and Ul is my teacher."
"What?"
"Just, look." He said, and put his fist on his palm. And then I felt it, magic power.
"Gray?" I asked. His brow furrowed, and the steam of ice appeared. His face relaxed, and appeared a little ice sculpture of a star. I stared open mouthed at the magical object, as it flew into my hand.
"Ice..." I said.
"Yes, my magic, Ice Make." He said. The star broke.
"You're a wizard?" I asked.
"Yes, and like you, I don't want to leave Fairy High. Cana's a wizard too, Card Magic, that's why we spend so much time together. Juvia thinks that it's a competition, so she's learning magic too." He said.
"No way? And all in secret?"
"Yes, like you, Lucy. It's nice to have someone who understands and isn't part of a love triangle." He said.
"T-that's okay." I said, shcoked at his kindness. I was even more shocked when he hugged me.
"Really, Lucy, thank you." He repeated. I smiled. He let go of me.
"Come on, Tabasco freak will be wondering where you are, and besides, you have a prom to attend." He smiled, leading me back in.
"Aren't you coming?" I asked at his statement.
"Yeah, yeah, but I don't have to do make up." He laughed. We walked back inside, and Natsu was indeed looking for me.
"Finaly! There you are! Everyone wants to see you." He said, grabbing me from Gray.
"What? Why does everyone want to see me?" I asked, as he pulled me towards the crowd.
"To congratulate you, for nailing one of the star roles." He said.
"Okay..." I said unsure. He dragged me into the crowd, and I was clapped. I blushed slightly.
"Well done Lucy! Now tell us how does Natsu kiss." Mira said, deadly serious.
"What? Are you really going to-"
"Fine! Natsu, tell us how Lucy kisses." She asked, and everyone murmmured in agreement. Natsu smiled at me, like he was babying me.
"Well, like a butterfly, gentle, soft, but quick." He said, everyone laughed.
"Shut up Natsu!" I said, hiting his elbow. He laughed.
We changed back into our normal clothes, got our possesions, and walked home, I was walking along with Cana and Natsu as usual.
"You two were great." She said.
"Thanks, your Lady Montague was brilliant." I answered.
"Lucy, I want to speak for a second." Cana said.
"Sure, go ahead."
"Alone." She added, and stopped.
"Oh, okay. I'll see you later, 'kay?" I said, Natsu nodded, and continued walking.
"I think I know what it's about." I said.
"Yeah, Gray told me you were a wizard."
"Card Magic? How does that work?" I asked her.
"Oh, you know, like this." She said, and took out a card. "Storm!" She said, and threw it at a tree, which blew around like it was in a violent tornado.
"Wow..." I said. "Isn't it dangerous, doing it out here? People might see..." I said. We were walking through the forest, a quick shortcut.
We are in a forest. And besides, this is where I come to train. Yours?"
"I have keys, it's a holder type."
"Like mine."
"Yeah, and they open gates to the spirits of the constellations. For example, open, gate of the giant crab, Cancer!" I said, taking the key from my hiding place (A secret pocket that I had sewn into all my skirts) and swishing it. Cancer appeared.
"Hey, shrimp, what can I do for you?" He said, in his usual voice.
"This is Cancer." I said, showing Cana to him.
"Awesome." She smiled.
"You have beautifull hair, shrimp, wanna beautiful doo to go with it?" He asked Cana, who smiled.
"Your magic is awesome!" She repeated. I nodded.
"Thanks Cancer, you can return." I said, he nodded, and vanished.
"Right, that was cool, when we finsih school, we can all go to Fairy Tail together." She smiled. After school...I had never really thought about my fututre till today, what did I want to become? First, Natsu promised to marry me, then Cana said that we could all go to Fairy Tail, but I still had no idea of what I wanted to do...
I got home, and found my dress. I looked at it, and tried to figure out how to do my hair and my make up.
The ball started at seven pm, and ended at midnight. It was dark when I was ready. I had my hair in it's usual ponytail on the side, in a periwinkle ribbon, red lipstick on, and the usual eye make up. I waited, Natsu said he would come and 'escort' me. The door knocked, and I heard Silver open it.
"Lucy! Natsu's here!" She called. I walked from my room. When I saw Natsu, I was pleasantly surprised at how much a suit could suit him. He had a white shirt, black blazer, and simple black trousers.
"Lucy, you look amazing!" He said. I smiled.
"Same too you. Black suits you."
"You two, you'd better be back by twelve fourty, okay?" Obba said.
"Yes, alright." I said.
"We'll see you later." Natsu said. "Miss Heartfilia?" He asked, as he held out his arm. I took it.
"Mister Dragneel." I said. We laughed, as we walked out the door and down the dark road.
"Shall we dance when we get there?" He asked.
"Hmmm, how about we dance, then we kiss? The game room will be completly empty..." I laughed.
"Sounds like a plan. Hey, listen to this song, I found it on that lacrima pod thing you gave me." He said.
"Okay, oh! I haven't opened the present you gave me yet!" I said.
"No, you need to do it when you are absolutely alone, there is no one in a one mile radius around you, okay?" He said, very seriously.
"Yes, okay." I said. He grinned, and gave me an earpiece. The music played, it was rock, nearly old school. It was a great song. We listened to it over and over again, till we were singing the lines.
"Walking after dark." I sang.
"In the New York city park!" Natsu then sang.
"Thoughts are so unholy in the holiness of old!"
"On with christian soldiers filled with jivin' mind control!"
We laughed after that, and reached the school. Loud music was coming from inside, and people were entering. We walked in.
It was the school gym. All the mats and gym equipment had been moved, to leave room for a buffet, and lights were flashing everywhere, as Bickslow chose the music (since he was the DJ) with Cana sitting on the table with him. Natsu and I looked at each other, then at the crowd, then each other again, before running of into it. We danced together, he would sometimes take my hand and spin me, or I would make him spin. We laughed all the way through five quick songs, till we went to the side, puffed out and laughing. Erza and Mirajane were by the side as well, we went next to them.
"Have you been dancing?" She asked us, as she saw our de-oxygenated state. We nodded.
"What about you? Are you just going to stand next to the buffet?" I asked, taking two cups of punch and handing one to Natsu.
"Yes, we're waiting for the karaoke." Mira replied.
"Karaoke?" Natsu asked.
"Yes, it's been organized, we are doing a duet on 'Girlfriend'" Erza said. "You should do one. Natsu and I looked at each other.
"Shall we?" I asked.
"Yes, on 'Kill the DJ'" he laughed. It was the song we had been singing on the way to the prom.
We went and signed up.
"Yo! Bicklsow!" Natsu called.
"Hey Natsu, and Blondie, what do you want?"
"Karaoke." Natsu said.
"Duet." I added.
"Kill the DJ" he finished.
"Alright." Bickslow said, and put our names down on a piece of paper.
We went back to dancing. I spotted Mira and Laxus on the dance floor, trying to look annoyed, but they both secretely looked pleased.
"And now for the karaoke!" Somebody said, up on the stage, we all looked, it was Evergreen in a fabulous green ball gown, speaking into a microphone. "First up, we have Mirajane and Erza, singing 'Girlfriend!'" She said, too cheers and claps.
The two girls walked up on stage, and the words appeared in a blue light that fadded as they sung the words. The music started, and they paraded around on the stage as they sung, people clapped along, whooped, and cheered them when the song finished. They bowed and curtsied.
"Well, an impressive performence from our two ladies, next up, are the stars of the show, Romeo and Juliet, or should I call them Natsu and Lucy?" Evergreen said. I laughed, as Natsu took my hand, and pulled me on stage.
"Here are your microphones." She said. We took them, and stood on the stage, ready for the song.
The music started. The words appeared in red for Natsu, and in yellow for me, in a sort of shiny light that was shone by some sort of magic device. The words started red.
"Walking after dark, in the new york city park." Natsu sang.
"Thoughts are so unholy in the holiness of old, on with christian soldiers filled with jivin' mind control." I sang.
"That blood left the dancefloor runnin' runnin' red, that bullet that you asked for shooting you to death."
"Unless you-" we both said.
"Someone kill the DJ!" He sang.
"Shoot the fucking DJ!" I said. We repeated it five times, as people clapped to the rythm. I looked over at him, and smiled, he grinned, and sang "Voices in my head are sayin'-"
"Shoot that fucker down!" I continued.
"We are the vultures, the dirtiest kind, we'll cut you up in your heart and your mind!" We sang together.
"Walking after dark, in new york city park." I sang.
"Pick up what's left in the club my pockets full of pills, Sodom and Gamorah in the century of thrills!" Natsu continued.
"That blood left on the dancfloor runnin' runnin' red, that bullet that you asked for killing you to death." I sang.
"Unless you-"
We sang the chorus again, finishing with "hold him under water-"
"Till that mother fucker drowns!"
Then the music changed. I walked towards Natsu, and leant close to him.
"Someone's gonna get you boy." I whispered into the microphone, I heard cat calls in the crowd. Natsu pointed at someone in the crowd, and sang "Shoot that fucker down!"
Then was the guitar solo, we air guitared together laughing, along with the crowd.
"Someone kill the DJ!" I sang
"Shoot the Fucking DJ!" Natsu continued, we sang it five times, then finished singing together.
"Shoot that fucker down!" We said, and high fived, as people clapped us.
"A fun performance from Natsu and Lucy, next up, we have Cana singing 'Shut up and Sleep with me'" Evergreen said, meeting more laughs of the crowd. We handed her the microphone and walked off stage.
"That was awesome!" Natsu said, hugging me.
"I know, we rock!" I laughed.
"Come on, let's go to the game room." He said, dragging me off down the corridors of the school. I laughed.
"A bit eager?" I said, as he closed the door behind us.
"Maybe." He said.
"I don't mind." I said, and put my hands around his neck, placing a kiss on his lips, and anoher, and another. he pushed me towards a table, I leant back, whilst he kissed down my neck. The table dug into my lower back.
"Hey, this table doen't want us together." I sighed. He laughed evily.
"I'm sorry, my lady." He laughed, as he lifted me back up.
"Don't 'my lady' me, honestly..." I said, as he pulled me towards one of the red couches, where we sat side by side.
"Not very affectionate tonight?" He teased. I stroked his cheek.
"I'm sorry, my lord." He grinned.
"Evil lord Dragneel, okay?" He said.
"Fine, your evilness." I said, kissing him. He held the back of my head and I tangled my hands in his hair. Our kisses were long and physical, our breathing rythmic. I closed my eyes, enjoying his closeness. I don't know why I put 'physical', it's hard for kisses to be anything other than physical, sorry XD
"Oh. My. God. I knew it!" We heard someone say at the door. We broke apart, and looked, aghast. Mirajane. She smiled evily, and ran off.
"Shit." Natsu said.
"We should go after her." I said.
"We should." He confirmed, we got up, and walked quickly out in the corridors. We saw her turn a corner.
"Oy! Mira!" I said. She turned her head.
"Yes?"
"Secret!"
"Nope, I'm telling everyone." She laughed evily.
"Crap." Natsu said.
"Stop with the swearing!" I said, hitting his arm. We walked out to the hall, where we saw Mira speaking to Evergreen, who smiled, and talked to Freed, who laughed, and talked to Lisanna, who laughed as well, as she talked to Elfman. So, all the eyes were on us, as we casually stood by the drinks, acting like as if nothing was happening.
"Lu-chan..." Levy said, walking up behind me.
"What?" I asked.
"Truth. Now." She ordered.
"Tell us, is it true?" Bisca asked.
"Are you and Natsu together?" Alzack continued. Natsu and I looked at each other, and laughed, doubling up, in stiches. He took my shoulders, pulling me in front of him, and kissed me. Everyone who was watching wolf whistled.
"Can we kiss in peace now?" Natsy asked. They laughed, and left us alone.
We talked, and then danced, a quick song, but it turned into a slow again. He held me around my waist, and I put my arms around his neck, we slowly revolved around the floor, with the other couples who dared ( new couple Alzack and Bisca, too).
"It's weird." Natsu said.
"What is?"
"I don't have to kiss you in secret anymore, so I can kiss you now, but I'm not." He grinned.
"Why not?"
"Good question." He answered, before kissing me.
The night went away, and soon, it was midnight, we left into the cold darkenss, walking home.
"I'm freezzing!" I said, rubbing along my upper arms to create heat.
"Here." Natsu said, taking of his blazer and putting it on my shoulders, and holding me in his arms.
"Thank you, ah...you're always so warm..." I sighed, leaning against his arm. He laughed. "Aren't you cold?" I asked.
"Nope, I don't get cold." He said smugly.
"Pff...Hey, I've been thinking." I said.
"Your reaction to me saying that would be 'oh-oh'." He laughed.
"Seriously, do you have any idea what you'll do after school?" I asked him.
"Hmm...marry you." He repeated.
"Seriously, like, very serious conversation." I added. He stopped, and took my shoulders, and looked into my eyes, very seriously.
"I am serious. This isn't just some stupid promise. I'm going to marry you, and spend the rest of my life with you, Lucy. I will, that's serious. I wasn't just saying it to be cute earlier on, I am very serious. You're my first, and last. I don't care if people think we are stupid delusional teens when, or if, they ever hear me say that, because I know you, and you know me. I love you so much, really, so much." He said, holding me in his arms, hugging me. I felt this strange sensation, tugging at my heart, like I had to replie, but I couldn't the words kept getting stuck in my throat. My mouth was open in bemusement, how did he manage to put everything into words?
"Natsu...I..." I managed to say. He squeezed me.
"I understand." He said. I felt relieved. He knew what I was saying, even though I wasn't saying it.
"This went from a school girl crush, to this, one of the reasons I love you, Natsu, you take things to a different level." I laughed, as we continued to walk.
"No. We take things to a different level." He said. I stopped. "What?" He asked, as he saw me laughing.
"Stop trying, that was just too cheesy." I laughed, feeling my eyes water at what he had just said. He was trying to be cute, but kind of failed.
"Pff, was that really transparent?" He laughed as well.
We finally got onto Hyacinth road, and parted ways. I opened the door silently, and crept in, hoping Silver wasn't awake, but-
"I'm here, you know." She said. I looked into the kitchen, and saw her, sitting at the table, with a cup of tea. I smiled, wondering what I'd done wrong. "Did you have fun?"
"Yes, thank you." I answered, walking over to the sink, and doing the washing up.
"I heard from Sting, karaoke?" She said. Oops.
"Yes."
"Did you sing?" She asked me. Yep, she knew.
"Yes."
"What?"
"A song."
"Lucy..."
"Fine, it had swear words, so?" I asked pouring the water out from a glass. She laughed.
"You are so adorable when you're angry." She smiled at me. The words pierced through my skin, and into my heart.
"Lucy, your father wants to see you." Silver said to me. My young mind immediatly thought it was because he wanted to see me, not because he wanted to see me...
"Really?! Yay!" I shouted, dancing all over my room. "Look, Obba-chan! I'm a bird!" I said, taking the duvet off the bed, and putting it around my arms, I jumped off the bed, but landed on a stray book, hurting my foot.
"Hey! That book is mean! I hate it! Ouchy ouchy ouchy!" I shouted, kicking it with my bad foot, but falling down on the floor when I realised it hurt. Obba laughed, and knelt down, taking my foot. "Obba, what's that book?" I asked, still frowning.
"It's called Rapunzel." She smiled.
"I hate Rapunzel. She hurt my foot." I said, frowning more. Silver laughed, and tsroked my hair.
"You are so adorable when you're angry." She said. I crossed my arms.
I smiled at the memory. She had always been there for me, like a watchfull Grandma.
"Silver?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you." I said, before taking off to my room.
Oooooh! More italics, but this is not a flashback! WARNING! Not a flashback
Natsu walked into his house, smiling to himself. What more could he want? He had his friends, his gramps, and now Lucy. God, how he loved her... Gramps was sleeping, so Natsu went into the kitchen. He found the carton of orange juice. Anyone who knew him well enough knew he always had orange juice before going to bed, that fact had surprised everyone at first, and he was laughed at for it. It was something stupid, really. When he was a child, he was told carrots made his eye sight better. He drank orange juice instead. It's the same colour, easy mistak, right? He wanted to see in the dark, so he drank some every night for as long as he was vulnerable enough to believe that fact. Unfortunatlely, even after he knew it was a lie, a habit's a habit. So, Natsu took out a glass, and pourred the orange liquid into it. Something caught his eye. A leaf, floating in his cup. He took a spoon and fished it out.
"Orange leaf." He said to himself, before putting it in the bin, and drinking the cup. He put the empty glass in the sink, before going to his room. His head hurt. He went to get painkillers. He swallowed two little white pills, and sighed. A long night...and a long day..thankfully they had tuesday of school. He would be able to spend it with Lucy...Lucy... he smiled at just the thought of her, her smile, her eyes, that thing she did when she would ruffle his hair, her pristine skin, slashed, and stained with the red of her blood...Natsu stopped smiling. What did he just imagine? Did he just smile at...Lucy hurting? He shook his head, and went to bed.
A cloaked figure walked out of Magnolia, swinging a little pouch full of green leaves on his finger. He smiled to himself. Victory, or was it vengeance? Oh no, it was precautions.
If you are confused to the brinks of WTF, it's normal ;)
