I wave off my friends as they take off towards their houses. I plop onto the couch as I run my fingers through my hair, letting out an exhausted huff of air. I just have two days to do whatever I want. But it was frustrating. Knowing that I would be married to someone who I don't love just because of some stupid promise.
'Only two more days of this mess. Disgusting.'
This is not fun at all. As the month progresses, I realized that I'm going to be butt-loaded with work from school. I stretched out my limbs on the couch, now laying down staring at the ceiling. Suddenly I get the urge to close my eyes as the quietness envelopes me. I doze off as another person wakes up.
He yawns, his salmon hair disheveled from his rough sleeping, he gets up and goes to the bathroom. He takes a quick shower, drying his hair with a towel, he heads downstairs, half-naked. He passes by the wide-open music room, He stops and stares at the empty piano seat, which he did unconsciously. He thought of my long blonde hair and my posture when I was playing, captivating him in a trance. But he suddenly snapped out of it and growled at the thought of me. He kept walking towards the kitchen to get something to eat. As he finishes eating, Wendy walks in, surprised to see him up so early.
"Hey, you're up early." She makes a bowl of cereal, sitting opposite of him. He answered with a hum as he started to leave.
"You know, I never would've thought you would get married," she watches him leave, knowing he wasn't going to listen to her. "I would've never thought that the person would be Lucy." She mumbled to herself, continued to eat.
He walks back to his room, dressing in ripped, skin-tight pants, a red hoodie that says Fire Up, and some ankle-high black boots. He runs his hands through his hair one more time before grabbing his key, wallet, and his phone, walking to the living room. Wendy is in the living room, vacuuming the carpet and dusting.
"Are you going out?" She asked in a small voice. Natsu ignores her as he makes his way towards the door. "Well have fun, with Lisanna…" She whispers the last part silently as Natsu walks out.
He walks down the street, hoodie on and earbuds blasting music, going to meet up with his girlfriend and friends. He walks into a pizzeria and spots his girlfriend sitting on one of the tables chatting with his friends. He didn't spot the tense atmosphere around them as Lisanna spotted him and called him over.
"Hey, babe." She grabs onto my arm and clings. "Hey." He walks to the table where Gray and Gajeel sit.
"Yo Natsu, what took you so long?" Gray says he takes a sip of his soda "Nothing, I was just taking my time."
Lisanna lets go of Natsu's arm and sits back on the table. He doesn't catch the glare that she's making at the two boys.
"I can't believe your ass is getting married, tell me is she a hottie?" Natsu rolls his eyes and takes a seat next to Lisanna. "Why do you want to know, I mean it's not like I care."
"Why would he care about that blonde-bumbo if he loves me." She practically throws herself on him, making sure to push her non-existence breast onto him. Her skimpy skirt was slowly rising up as she wore a highly brazen, white crop top.
"But he's getting married, don't cha think that will mess up this relationship you guys are in?" Gray gives a little stare at Lisanna as the waiter brings over a big plate of pizza. She gives a stare back, both at Gray and the pizza.
"How can you even eat that, that's so fattening and oily." She gags as we take a piece of pizza.
"Then go order yourself a Caesar salad then, no fat. Geez." Grays take a bite of the pizza, stuffing the cheezy piece into his mouth.
"Are you making fun of me?" She says squeezing her boyfriend's arm. He takes that to scold his friend.
"Bro don't be talking to my girlfriend like that." He glares at Gray. Gray rolls his eyes and continues to eat. Gajeel hasn't said anything throughout the conversation.
"Hey babe, let's go on a date~," She says trying to be flirty. "Sure let's go, later." He wraps his arm around her, walking out the pizzeria.
As he leaves, he feels kind of empty. Gray looks at Gajeel and takes another bite of pizza.
"Freaking Lisanna is only using him. That dumbass hasn't changed at all." Gajeel picks up a slice of pizza.
"It's his own damn fault if he gets hurt. I can't believe he's god damn blind." As he takes a bite, Gray groans in frustration.
"He doesn't get it. I would be different if we didn't leave him to walk home that day."
"God Gray, that was in the past. There's nothing we can do about it. He only became a delinquent to hide everything else. He's just hurting deep down. All we can do is stand by his side for support." Gajeel takes a sip of his drink, setting it down with a sigh. "Let's finish this and then go to the computer lab or something."
