Crystal and Natsu's House
...
The bluenette pulled down her orange sleeves to her wrists, buckling her belt on her slim fitted jeans. She sat down on her soft bed, putting on her dark brown ankle boots. She smiled as she looked at her reflection in the clear mirror. Crystal had her purse and money, with that, she exited the house.
The chilly breeze blowing through the pinkette's hair as he waited for Crystal to come outside. The door of the house opened and the bluenette walked out.
"Good morning Chrissy! Took you long enough." He turned around, seeing the bluenette's face all flushed. A drunken smile on her lips.
"Goo' mo'ring..." She responded, her eyelids half open. Natsu raised an eyebrow.
"Chrissy? Are you feeling okay..?"
She sniffled up the snot that was running down from her nose. "Jus' fwine Natshu."
Natsu placed his hand on her head, removing it quickly from the intense heat. Crystal had her mouth open slightly, cold air coming from it.
"You do have a fever and a cold!"
"Come to thiank of it, I am fweeling kind oaf crappy..." Crystal sniffled. Natsu sweatdropped.
"We're getting you back to bed."
"I'm ohay..."
"You're not "ohay"! You're going back to bed!"
...
The bluenette was lying in her bed in her pink pajamas. A buttoned light pink shirt with long pink pants to match. She sneezed.
"You probably got sick from being in the rain for so long. Dummy." Natsu sighed, sitting down next to her.
"I'm sowwy."
"It's okay."
A ring came from Natsu's pocket, he took out his phone and turned it one. "1 new message".
"We're almost done! Come back and help, we need alot of held carrying all this!" -From Luce." It said. Natsu furrowed his eyebrows then looked at Crystal. She needs help and assistance. She can't stay here by herself...
Who will be willing to take care of her...?
Akise? Fuck no.
Yukiko or Kiyoko? They're helping down at Akira-san's place as well...
The others are there as well so who?
Natsu placed his thumb fingers on the keypad.
"Sorry Luce. Chrissy caught a cold so I won't be able to help. I gotta stay here and take care of her. :)" Natsu pressed send. Immediately, she responded.
"She did?! Awww, that's too bad! :( You should stay with her, we can handle this. 3"
Natsu turned off his phone and placed it back in his pocket. He placed his hand on her forehead, pulling back free strands of hair from her face. He smiled softly.
"Baka." Natsu chuckled.
"Natshu...? I fweel hot.."
He blushed. "W-well..."
...
Crystal was naked, exposing her entire body to the perverted Natsu.
"I need to get all this sweat off me... Natsu help?"
He took the dry cloth and started rubbing down her back.
"Does that feel good? Huh, huh?"
"Wait! That's not my back! So further down! Ahhhh!"
"Come on Crystal! Scream for it!"
"Uhhh! Ahhhh!"
...
Natsu's face was red as a beet. Puffs of steam came out of his ears. Crystal pouted.
"Pervert. What are you thinking about..?" She deadpanned.
All the hairs on Natsu's back stood up. "Nothing!"
Crystal pouted cutely, squinting her eyes as she glared at him. He just smiled back at her which made her blush, she looked off to the side.
"I'll go cut up some fruit for you, okay? Be right back." Natsu volunteered, getting up and walking out the bedroom door, the door closing. Crystal looked at the opened windows with the curtains blowing from the wind. She actually felt hot but Natsu told her to stay underneath the covers.
The bluenette sniffled. She hated colds or any sickness for that matter. Physical injuries are one thing but sicknesses? Nope!
A long while passed, Crystal was getting anxious. Did Natsu really took his precious time to chop up some fruit? See, this is why Crystal cooks. Natsu takes forever to cook just rice. His cooking is good... At times... The other times it tastes like dog shit, the dog ate the shit then threw it back up.
Yeah. It's not pleasant.
For what minutes felt like hours, the pink haired assassin finally came back, a silver bowl of chopped up fruit in his hands. Apples, grapes, pears, bananas, more fruit. She sat up and smiled at him.
"What took you so long?" She asked, taking the bowl in her hands.
"I went to buy some fruit and medicine since we didn't have any. I tried to run but then everything fell out the bags and a girl helped me!" Natsu grinned. Crystal had the toothpick in her hand and picked at the pealed apple, she took a bite.
"Who?" Crystal questioned, eating more of the apple.
"Well she has blonde hair and hazel green eyes-" Before Natsu could finish, she choked on the apple slice she was eating. She coughed and rubbed her throat.
"Her name?"
"She's here too! I'll call her! Catherine!" He called, footsteps hastily made their way up the stairs and a woman ran into the room. Her appearance was recognizable. That face, that smile.
"I rule this school, people like you and your silly little friends should get lost."
That sentence made Crystal pissed, she broke the toothpick with her thumb finger, anger stirring up inside her as her blood boiled. Her face became red. That woman...
Her hair was about as long as Crystal's own, her hair in her usual style which was straight with bangs. She was about a B cup, had a bit of curves. She was tall... Ish. Crystal never really got why she had so many guys at her feet. She'd prefer Akise over this thing you call a human.
Catherine Katori.
"Get the fuck out of my house." Her voice didn't sound nasally or like if she had a cold, it was pure hatred and venom. Crystal wasted no time on telling her what was on her mind. Catherine gave her a nasty smile.
"Nice to see you too, Crystala." Catherine giggled.
"Don't fucking call my name in your filthy mouth, Katori."
"Aren't you a sweetheart!"
"Aren't you so fucking annoying!"
"When savagery is on 100%." Natsu said in his mind.
Natsu looked a Catherine then back at Crystal. The two were having a stare off, Crystal kept her scowl, Catherine kept her smile. The thing about Catherine, she goes after everything Crystal have.
Once, her rich father wanted to sue Anna just for being in the Army. Something about how that is a man's job, not for women. She's racist, sexist and just down right disgusting.
"Katori. Get out my house before I make you." Crystal growled.
Catherine giggled. Ugh, that annoying giggle.
"I was just helping this sweet, handsome young man." Catherine sat down on her bed, wrapping her arms around Natsu's left arm, squeezing it against her breasts.
Crystal had bigger boobs and if Natsu didn't pay attention then Catherine didn't have a chance.
"Right, Natsuu~?" She purred.
"U-um. I think you should leave... This is Chrissy's house and well, you know.." Natsu trailed off, hoping the she'll get what he's hinting at. He didn't want to be rude or anything, after all, he now met her.
The blonde smirked and got up.
"No wonder you have no friends. I'm so glad that the assassin killed your parents, you don't deserve to be happy." Catherine snorted, Crystal's eyes widened as she rushed over to her, her teeth grounded together as she raised her fist in the air. Natsu held her back tightly.
"Kill her." Someone said to her in her mind.
"She's not worth it... Calm down..." Natsu whispered in her ear. Crystal didn't even listen.
"DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY FAMILY AGAIN!" Crystal yelled, struggling in Natsu's grip.
"Awww, did I get the poor baby mad?" She teased, going up into her face. Crystal's pupils flashed blood red, her pupils dilating as it turned dark red.
"I'll kill you." The bluenette hissed.
"Tell that to my lawyers."
"Bring your lawyers. I've killed men, women and even people your age. Don't think you'll be spared. In fact, I'll make your death slow and painful..." Crystal smirked, her fangs showing proudly.
"And make you scream and cry... Begging for mercy as I cut off your limbs piece by piece..."
Natsu realized her voice wasn't her normal one. It was so dark and demonic. It was deep and sadistic. A chill went down Catherine's spine, fear bubbling inside her stomach as she tried to show no fear. Rumors had went around the school that Crystal was a Assassin. A top, head rank Assassin.
She was actually very glad that Natsu held her back. Catherine huffed.
"I'm telling my daddy on you!"
Throwing tantrums at 21 years. Depressing.
Crystal grinned evilly. "Mr. Katori? The more the merrier..."
"We'll meet again, Catherine Katori. We'll be having so much fun next time..."
Crystal's eyes turned back dark blue. She blinked.
"Get out." Crystal tried her best to keep from showing her nasally voice. Natsu released her.
"W-what-" Catherine couldn't finish, Crystal pushed her out the room and down the stairs and finally to the door, she opened and and pushed her outside.
"Come back here and you'll be leaving without legs." The bluenette threatened.
"I'm telling-!"
"Nobody gives to fucks! Bye!" With that, Crystal slammed the door in her face and started walking to the stairs, swaying from side to side as if she was drunk. Crystal didn't even get up the first stair without falling. Natsu came downstairs.
"Playing all big and bad and you can't even walk up one stair." Natsu taunted playfully.
"S-shut up.." Her nasally voice returned as she got up, walking up some stairs.
"I'll be fine..." Her vision became blurry.
"I just..." The sky blue haired maiden fell to the floor, hitting her head on one of the wooden stairs. Her eyes closing slowly, feeling herself being picked up bridal style.
Now all she saw was darkness.
...
2:00pm
...
The bluenette was tossing and turning in her sleep, her nightmares haunting her dreams. She was panting and sweating, she had a fever as well but it went down a bit.
Crystal gasped as she got up.
She placed her hand over her heart and started breathing heavily. The bluenette caught her breath, sighing.
"Another nightmare..." Crystal closed her eyes. "That's the 4th one this week..."
She coughed. The cold still here, she groaned.
Whenever she was sick, her mother always made Chicken Noodle Soup and Rice Porridge. It tasted so good, the warm liquids going down her throat. It cleared her sore throat and runny nose instantly.
Crystal missed that.
The door opened, the pink haired assassin holding tray with a bowl, steam coming from it and a glass of water. He walked in the room and sat on the bed. Crystal smiled warmly. He made the soup her mother use to make for her.
"I tried to make some soup using some old cookbook downstairs. I don't know if it's all that good but..." Natsu took the spoon with some soup and directed it at Crystal.
"Say 'ahhh'!" He grinned. Crystal opened her mouth and took in the spoon. It was just like her mother's. Warm, savory... She could see some potatoes, carrots, noodles and chicken swimming inside the soup.
"How does it taste?" Natsu asked.
"Delicious! I'm surprised. You can't even cook rice." She giggled, Natsu pouted at her as he took another spoonful of soup. He fed it to her.
"You slept for such a long time. I even went somewhere and came back and you were still sleeping." Natsu told her, giving her the tray.
"Well... I tend to sleep alot when I'm sick. Aren't you gonna get sick too?"
Natsu shook his head. "Nope! I never get sick! Ever since I was small!" He boasted proudly. Crystal sweatdropped.
"Transportation."
He gagged just thinking about it. She smirked, taking another spoonful of soup in her mouth.
"Mr. 'Never gets sick' huh?"
"I am NEVER going back on that God forsaken train!"
"You say that every time..."
"I MEAN IT!"
Crystal giggled. Natsu smiled at her.
"Feeling any better?" Natsu asked with a softer tone of voice.
"I'm getting there." She cleared her throat. "Natsu?"
"Yeah?" He answered.
"Thanks for taking care of me... It means alot.." Crystal blushed, swirling the spoon around in what's left in the soup. Natsu chuckled.
"That's what friends are for!"
Her heart shattered into pieces, her face turning white. Of course Natsu only thought of her as a friend. He thought everyone as his nakama. But Crystal thought she was special, that one in a million.
She'd never admit it but she had feelings for him ever since she was small. She'd always admire how he fought in battle, his passion for his friends. His personality, his smile. God, that smile is heaven itself.
Truth be told, Crystal never liked when Natsu was with another girl she didn't know. She'd seem friendly but no, she wants to rip your head off. Jealousy is a very ugly thing.
She also never like when he was sad. Like when Igneel died, it stung both of them in the chest. Crystal knew about Igneel from Natsu's stories but seeing Natsu cry, it hurt her. It wasn't a simple little childhood crush anymore.
It was love.
But she would never tell him, she knew Natsu would never feel the same way.
So she kept shut.
For a long time...
Crystal smiled at him. "Yeah! That's what... friends are for... Yeah..." She faced the bowl of soup, the liquid rippling her reflection.
"Oh Chrissy! I need to carry you somewhere! Hurry up and eat!" Natsu exclaimed, jumping off the bed in excitement.
"Eh?" She titled her head.
"And wear something pretty with pink and blue, any other colour too!" He grinned.
"Wait-!"
He was already out the door. Crystal sat there dumbfounded.
"Okaaay...? Weirdo..." She continued to drink her soup.
After the bluenette finished drinking the soup Natsu made for her, she headed towards her closet. She opened the cupboard doors, looking at the wide variety of clothes. Crystal took out a bubblegum pink skirt and a crop top, she placed the clothes on her body and looked at the mirror inside her closet.
"Oh hey Natsu... I just, you know... Just put something on, I'm cool, I'm cool." She acted, she placed it back inside, sweatdropping.
"When you can't get a man so you just talk to yourself in the mirror. For fuck's sake."
Crystal strolled through the clothes with her fingers, stopping on a specific one. It was a dress. The bluenette smiled and pulled it out, changing into it quickly.
It was over her knees. It was dark purple on the top, blending into light purple, salmon pink then sky blue. She looked like cotton candy. Golden trimmings were at the ruffles of the dress. It was a sweetheart neckline as well with gold at the linings. Also, a pink bow at the back with ribbons.
Crystal bought this for herself for a special occasion. Why not wear it today?
The bluenette walked over to her vanity and sat on the chair, she picked up her brush and started brushing her sky blue locks. She brushed it over her shoulder and started braiding it, taking a pink hair tie and tying the end of the braid.
Going into the closet once more, she picked out shoes with a low heel. It was blue with a pink bow on top and slid it on with ease.
Crystal was ready. She was camera shot ready! She smiled to herself and walked out the door and down the stairs, outside unto the cobblestone pathway. Natsu gazed at her, eyes widening.
"Wow... Crystala. I... I don't know what to say..." He stared at her with amazement. Crystal folded her arms over her chest, puffing her cheeks slightly.
"Well... A compliment would be nice..." Crystal mumbled under her breath.
"You look. Beautiful."
Crystal gasped softly, her cheeks tinting red. Crystal looked away, a goofy grin on her face.
"U-umm... T-thanks... Should we get going n-now...?" She asked.
"U-uh... Yeah. Let's." He agreed.
...
Sitting on the comfy seats of the train, Crystal stared out the window, her eyes drooping as she tried to keep herself awake. Crystal looked over at Natsu who was playing video games on his phone, he's not motionsick?
Probably got the Motionsickness pills from Wendy which mean he was planning this. She decided to sleep on it. Her eyes softly closed, her breathing slowing down as she fell asleep.
...
"Ugh, you again." The small girl in her mind tsked. Crystal rolled her eyes. There was a desk with files, folders with the letters from A-Z.
"Why are you here? I'm trying to organize memories right now." The girl took out a folder with the letter "C". It stood for Childhood, the sky blue haired girl placed it back into the file with the rest.
"Hey um... Can you tell me... Why I don't remember things?" Crystal asked.
"Because you forget them, dummy."
"Thanks Captain Obvious. I mean, why does my brain erase my memories?" Crystal questioned. The girl stared at her for a moment before sighing.
"I can't tell you." She simply said.
"And why not?"
"You are the one who's supposed to remember."
"But I can't-"
"If I show you a memory, would you wake up and leave me alone?"
Crystal nodded. The girl sighed and pulled out a folder with the letter "N". Which stood for 'Natsu'. She opened the folder and pages flying out to create a memory that she lost.
...
"I know words! Like Hamburgers! Spaghetti! Fries! Chicken! Mashed potatoes! Onion rings!" The young 10 year Natsu pouted, tears at the corner of his eyes.
"I swear I know more than just food names..."
Mirajanes smirked evilly. "Pathetic."
"Mira-nee! Don't be mean to Natsu!" Lisanna pouted at her sister. Erza glared at her.
"Why don't you just remove yourself from this area you simple minded scrumpt!" Erza growled. Mirajanes went up in her face, glaring back.
"Quit acting like you're so much better than me before I knock your teeth in, got it?!"
"Hey, you two! Stop fighting! Erza and Mirajane, I thought we talked about this!?" A voice erupted from the back of them, Erza smiled. A small girl with sky blue hair wearing a dark purple backpack and a simple dress.
"Oh, it's just you." Mirajane deadpanned. Lisanna slapped her on the arm lightly.
"Welcome back, Crystal. I assume your mission was successful." The red haired girl greeted. The bluenette smiled warmly at her.
"Hai! It was super easy!"
Natsu blushed. "W-who is she..?"
The 9 year Crystal looked behind Erza, seeing a little boy with pink hair and black eyes. His face turned red when she looked at him.
"Oh, looks like Natsu gots a crush on Crystal~" Mirajane teased. Natsu puffed his cheeks.
"Shut up!"
"So we have a new guild member! Hi, my name's Crystal Dragnela!" Crystal greeted, walking over to him and letting out her hand. He shook it.
"I-I'm Natsu Dragneel." He replied.
"Natsu's having trouble with his English words. Should we teach him, Crystal? You went to a private school after all." Erza suggested. Crystal nodded.
"Sure! English is really easy so don't worry!"
...
The redheaded assassin slammed down papers on the table in front Natsu. He sweatdropped.
"You are to learn all these words!" Erza held up her sword, her eyes piercing through his soul. "And you shall not eat or sleep until you master them!"
"Do you really have to be that harsh on him, Erza..?" Crystal sweatdropped, looking at the terrified pinkette. Erza nodded.
"How else shall he learn?! By harsh tutoring!" Erza smirked. Crystal sighed and sat down next to him.
"Okay, let's learn the first word." Crystal pointed to the top.
"Rec-en-tly?" Natsu tried to pronounce. Crystal giggled.
"I understand how you got that pronunciation-"
"Geez, smaller words..." He groaned.
"- It is very easy to mix up it up. Recently is pronounced "re-cent-ly". Now you say it!"
"Re-cent-ly?"
The bluenette smiled warmly at him. "Now more confident!"
"Recently?"
Erza clapped. "Well done. Now. ALL 10,000 OTHER WORDS TO GO!"
...
Crystal giggled. How could she have forgotten such a cute memory. The girl smiled as well.
"You love him, don't you?"
Crystal blushed at the question, fiddling with her fingers. "W-well, n-no... I..."
"You should tell him. He feel the same way." The girl told her, another folder with the letter "C" which stood for Confessions. The girl flipped through it.
"Loads and loads of Confessions from different people... Geez, how can you forget such important memories. Hm, even forgetting who your real father was. It's here in the files."
"Show me!" The bluenette demanded. The girl shook her head.
"I can't. It defies the Laws of Time and Space. Even if I could, it wouldn't let me. I can't even open it."
"What do you mean that it "defies the Laws of Time and Space" eh?"
"You ask alot of questions, don't you?"
"You do alot of bullshit, don't you? But you don't see me complaining."
"Crystal, wake up and leave me alone? I'm not in the mood to be dealing with your shit. So, I demand you to wake up in peace."
...
The bluenette fluttered open her eyes, yawning and stretching her limbs. The sky blue haired maiden watched out the circular window of the train, staring at the green pasture outisde, decorated with colourful bright flowers. The sun slowly setting, what was time was it?
This scenery looks awfully familiar. Then it hit her, she looked behind her and to the sides of her, people dressed in fancy clothing, some dressed in normal. She glared at Natsu.
"Natsu."
He placed his phone back in his pocket and looked at her.
"Oh, you're awak-" Before he could finish, she stopped him.
"Why are we here? Why are we heading there? Why are we on a train to Maiobushi?" Crystal asked, a deadly aura around her. Natsu just smiled.
"You'll see when we get there. We're going to Akira-san's place." Natsu beamed, she raised an eyebrow.
"What the fuck is the meaning of this?"
"Calm your tits, you'll love it."
Crystal stayed silent, looking back out the window. It was like this for a while until the train came to a stop. The pinkette and bluenette, along the rest of the passengers got off the train when it stopped. Some rushing out, some taking their precious time and people who move at a normal pace like Crystal and Natsu.
Once they were at the Train Station, Natsu headed towards Akira-san's place, Crystal following him. Like if she had a choice? He'd drag her by her leg.
Literally.
...
Once they arrived at the Manison, the place was dead silent. Almost eerie, the wind blowing with the orange and red leaves blowing. Crystal stood in front of the double doors, looking at the windows. The lights were off.
"Go on. Open the doors." Natsu smiled.
"It's open?" She asked, reaching for the doorknob. She opened the two doors, squinting her eyes. All she was darkness. Come on, she had glasses. Were they trying to make her more blind?
"Why the hell is it so dar-?"
"SURPRISE! HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY CRYSTALA!"
The lights turned on, inside were everyone from the guild, some of her College friends and Akira-san and her family. Usui ran up to her, popping a Birthday bomb filled with colourful confetti. He grinned.
There was a balloons in pink and blue, streams in the same colours as well. Long tabls with food, snacks and drinks, a stage with lights and instruments! Especially on one of the tables sat a 9 layer cake! Pink and blue frosting from top to bottom! Big to small. Crystal couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"W-what...? I... I don't know what to say... Just that... Who payed for all this, who's idea was this?"
The orange haired woman came up to her, smiling brightly.
"Natsu-dear planned all of this. I payed for some of the expenses but your friends payed the most. I can't take all the credit." Akira giggled. "And he told us about all your suspicions and such."
Crystal's face turned bright red. "E-eh?"
"You know... Natsu-dear and Gray-dear fight alot, so much so that Erza-san had to break them up multiple times! Which is why he had those so called "hickeys" and "scratch marks" on him. It was from their fighting." Akira explained.
"Also, him smelling like roses. He was carrying a big rose bush pot which had alot of water. Silly boy doused himself in rose water when he was carrying it." The orange woman giggled. "Natsu-dear only has eyes for one specific girl, but that's for you to find out."
Crystal wanted to die in a hole as she looked to the corners, pots with rose bushes. She felt embarrassed and bad. She accused him of sleeping with a girl, she felt awful. Tears came streaming down her chin. Everyone "aww"ed. The bluenette face Natsu and jumped on him, pressing her soft lips against hers. The crowd cheered.
Natsu's face turned as red as Erza's hair, a brighter blush on his face as he wrapped his arms around her waist, enjoying the kiss. She pulled away, a apologetic look plastered all over her face.
"I'm sorry." She placed her forehead on his. "I'm really sorry. Please, forgive me-"
Natsu shushed her by placing his finger on her lips. He smiled gently at the bluenette.
"Shh Crystal. You were forgiven from the start. And also, Happy Birthday, Princess." He kissed her cheek, her face flushed as steam came out her head.
"Now..." Cana smirked, pumping her fist in the air. "LETS CELEBRATE!"
"YOSHH!" Everyone cheered. Crystal smiled.
"Thank you, everyone..."
...
"Alright everyone! Time for Crystal's first Birthday Present! From me, of course!" The pink haired male winked, going up on stage and holding the microphone in his hands, a boy going to the drums. Everyone pushed the bluenette in front, eating some chips.
"This song is for the Birthday Princess, Crystala Dragnela. Once again, Happy Birthday you idiot. Hope ya enjoy." He grinned, Crystal smiled at him. He nodded to the boys behind him.
Once the music started to play, Crystal gasped while everyone cheered.
"I know this song..." Crystal covered her mouth. "Natsu, you sly bastard..."
Natsu held the mic to his mouth but not before giving the bluenette a smirk. He opened his mouth.
"I won't lie to you.." Natsu started.
Everyone had their hands in the air, screaming and cheering.
"I know he's just not right for you...
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop..."
Natsu started walking around on stage, stomping his feet while singing.
"I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can!"
Tears were at the sides of her eyes, memories of their times together. That "dinner" with Akise popped into her brain, he was singing about him. Why else would he pick it? He couldn't mean something else... Right?
"I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you..."
Crystal blushed.
"Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do..."
"'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can!"
"Better than he can!"
Everyone was clapping to the beat, stomping their feet. Yukiko smiled and pushed her closer to the stage, Crystal looked up at Natsu.
"Give me a sign..."
Natsu let out his free hand, smiling.
"Take my hand, we'll be fine.."
Crystal took his hand in hers, him pulling her up to the stage. He faced her.
"Promise I won't let you down...
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone..."
The bluenette smiled happily.
"Promise I'll never let you down..."
Natsu wrapped his arms around her waist, going in closely to her face. The crowd whistled.
"'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can...
And any girl like you, deserves a gentleman..."
The pinkette released her, smirking.
"Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can!"
"Better than he can!"
"Better than he can!"
The music stopped, everyone applauded him. Giving him a big round of applause. Crystal had her hands by her mouth, trying to not let the tears fall. Come on, she didn't wanna seem like a crybaby on her birthday, no less.
Natsu placed the mic gently on the stage, going down on one knee. The white haired beauty was practically screaming and squealing for joy. Yukiko shouting as Kiyoko had the blue feline in her arms, a gentle smile on her lips.
"Chrissy. I bought you something for your birthday. And I think you'll love it." Natsu smiled as he pulled out a purple wrapped box with yellow ribbons from his pocket, it was decent sized and surprisingly it fit inside there. He handed it to her as he got up.
You thought he was gonna propose? Naahh.
Crystal took it out of his hands, opening the box. A tear slid down her cheek. It was a silver necklace with diamond pendant at the bottom. Tiny emeralds embedded at the sides of it.
It was her mother's. It was lost in the fire.
But here it is, in her hands. She loved that necklace, always wearing it when her mother had it on. Sometimes sneaking into her bedroom, wearing her heels and makeup along with this specific necklace.
Crystal placed it around her neck, opening the pendant. She smiled at the picture. It was whem Natsu and her went to the Amusement Park together. The last picture they took in the photo booth which was Crystal giving Natsu a kiss on the cheek, his face red.
"Like it?" He asked, everyone waiting for her answer.
"Oh no I don't like it. One does never simply like this necklace." She stated. His smile dropped.
"I FUCKING LOVE IT!" Crystal jumped on him into a crushing hug. He grinned.
"SHE LOVES IT!" Natsu yelled.
The blonde haired assassin walked up on stage, holding a big slice of cake on a plate. She gave it to Natsu, smirking.
"You know the drill." Lucy winked.
Natsu took the plate, grabbing the piece of cake and smashing it into the bluenette's face, making some of her friends giggle. Pieces of cake fell off her face, she growled when he took a piece off her nose and licked it.
"You little..."
She grabbed the remaining piece off her face and smashed it in his face.
"Oh now, it's on!"
"Bring it on Pinky!"
"Its salmon!"
...
They all ate their cake. It was vanilla and chocolate, Erza going more than 7 times for another slice. She had a mountain of gifts after everyone left. They all danced, ate. Had fun. She felt so happy and loved. After everyone left, Crystal, Gray, Erza, Lucy and Natsu were cleaning up.
"You really don't have to do this. I'll clean it up, dearies." Akira offered. Crystal shook her head as she continued sweeping.
"It's our mess! We should be the ones to clean it up, Akira-san! You've done sooo much for me already! I can't thank you all enough! This was such a fantastic birthday! Better than any one I've ever had!" Crystal beamed, a big smile on her face.
"You're welcome Lil Sis." Gray smiled at her. Erza nodded along with Lucy. Natsu grinned at her.
"Thank you so much, Minna! I love you all!"
"We love you too Crystal!"
