They begrudgingly walked up to the front door. "No guards. I'm surprised." said Lucy spiteful. "Humph, her only son is coming home..she'll have them waiting inside to escort me out." his voice went high pitched as he mimicked his mother making Lucy laugh. He went to knock when they saw the door knob move as the door opened to a woman standing there. A petite woman with sharp features. Her black hair tied in a bun and shining in the sun as her pure green eyes showed no empathy or warmth. "Hello Evelyn" greeted Natsu dispassionately. "Is that really a way to greet your mother?" she said with a sharp tongue. "You lost the right to be called that when you set up the love of my life and kept her away." he answered coldly. Lucy didn't say a word but she could feel the ice-cold tension as she knew it was taking everything Natsu had to not lose it on his mother. "Lucy" she said in what might have sounded like a greeting but neither her nor Natsu were fooled.
"Don't you dare talk to her" he threatened. "Natsu..such an evil look your giving me." He didn't say anything as he felt his anger seething beneath him as Lucy grabbed his hand. Trying to keep himself under control, through gritted teeth he said "are you going to let us come inside or you going to have us stand here all day?" She hmphed as she stood aside letting Natsu and Lucy in. He walked over to a table and pulled out a chair letting Lucy sit. She was going to argue but she knew better given his mood so she accepted his offer and sat down. Natsu put his hand on the chair letting her know he was staying right there. "She is not marrying into this family" she said cold heartedly. "Cut right to the chase, hmph, you haven't changed one bit." "Natsu" His eyes side glanced at her glaring at the tone she used like she was belittling him. "She is not in our class. She is second class at best and I'm being nice when I say that. Her life career is a trashy choice because no one makes in the music industry, and"
"That's enough" he said hard. "If your father.." "DON'T YOU DARE BRING HIM INTO THIS!" he shouted as his fuse reached its end. "YOU KNOW HE WOULD NEVER LET YOU DO THE FUCKING SHIT THAT YOU ARE DOING TO US! HE RESPECTED LUCY. DESPITE ALL THE MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELSE, HE WAS NEVER COLD AS YOU HAVE BEEN MY ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE!" Lucy got up from her chair and went in front of Natsu to hug him to distract him for a second. He put his arms around her but never took his eyes off his mother who snickered as she saw Lucy hug him. "What!" he snapped. "Really Natsu. Using her as a shield." Growling, he kept his voice low and said "the only reason I'm not kicking your ass right now or something worse is because of her. I would keep my damn mouth shut if I were you and for your fucking information, she is not a shield." She turned her head not caring as Natsu said "do you even know why she got into music in the first place!"
"I don't ca" Natsu cut her off saying "It was after her parent's death after we met. The music was the only thing that helped her get through it and then after she met me, she helped me with dad's de" "Don't you dare bring that up" "I don't give a shit about what you want. SHE HELPED ME AFTER DAD DIED!. It's not like you gave a shit about him." "That's not true" "Oh really!. Ha. That's funny because I don't remember even once you being affectionate to him., saying I love you or even anything remotely to being in love with him. And don't you even think about saying I didn't understand because I did because he actually loved me!" Evelyn's face turned red as she whipped her hand up and pointed at Lucy. "This is all your fault you trampy bitch! Before you met him, Natsu never talked back or rebelled. He did what he was supposed too. He was happy." "Whhhy you" he said spiteful as Lucy turned around now with a glare on her face.
"You have no fucking idea what your son was going through. You stupid woman, you think he was happy. Nobody is happy having their life planned out for them step by step. He didn't have any real friends before he met me. The only reason people wanted to get to know him was because he was Natsu Dragneel, son of one of the wealthiest families in Magnolia. They didn't care about him, they just wanted a chance to get at your money. What you called being obedient was him trying to make things easier for his father. He didn't want to make things any harder on him because living with you sure as shit wasn't easy I'm sure. Sadly, I didn't get to come over like I wanted too in high school because Natsu and Igneel wanted to keep me away from what they called a toxic house. I can see now they meant you." "You think you can speak his"
"I wasn't done fucking talking." snapped Lucy surprising Natsu but he was proud of her. "Yes, I can say his name because I know Igneel respected me and I respected the kind man that he was and can't believe he would marry such a heartless cold person like you. Yes my career choice might be shitty but it makes me happy and I know I'm not first class but who the hell cares. Natsu and I make each other happy so whether you like it or not we are getting married. You can say whatever the fuck you want but it isn't going to change a damn thing. He also helped me with my own parent's deaths. I didn't really have any friends in school but after he became my best friend, I didn't need anyone else.
You do not know your son and you've never cared too. All you care about is having a trophy son well sorry, that's not who Natsu is and you can try to deny it all you want but I'm not wrong. I was hoping before we came here deep down in my gut that we could reconcile this but I see there's no chance of that. You're a fucking bitch through and through." Sensing she was done, Natsu put his hands on her shoulders and whispered "breathe" into her ears. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and let it out. He smiled at her as she looked at him with a loving expression. "Leave" she said bluntly making Natsu and Lucy look at her. "What?" said Natsu. " I'm talking to her Natsu, not you. Leave now, go back to where you were in Europe. Do that and I won't ruin your music career." "Did you just threaten her?" he asked very hostile as he started walking towards Evelyn. "It was not a threat, It's a fact. I can end whatever music career she has with just a few phone calls."
"Do not fucking think about picking up that phone" he spit as he eyed her phone and her. Before she could reach it, he snatched it and threw it hard against a wall smashing it. "Natsu!" she yelled angrily. "I warned you Evelyn" "I told you that I" "THAT YOUR MY MOTHER?, DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!. I told you this five years ago and I'll tell you again. You and I have nothing except blood, anything further than that, you are dead. And that's what I'll tell anyone that asks. You can threaten me any way you want. I don't care but do not ever! threaten Lucy." "You think I care about my career more then my family? Unlike you, my family means everything to me. I'll go back to living like shit, but I will not give up my family." Natsu walked over and put his arm over Lucy's shoulder. "We are done here, Lucy is going to be my wife and I'm going to look into disowning myself from you. I don't want anything to do with you." He stated with finality as he began to have them walk out the door. "I know about Layla" she sneered. That made them stop dead in their tracks.
"You think I just let her got without keeping tabs on her. Oh no son, that's not how I work. The one thing I didn't expect was for the bitch to come back with that pipsqueak and now thinks she can stay." Lucy saw the rage in Natsu's eyes as she tried to stop him. "No, no, no Natsu dont!" but he was beyond reason as he launched at his mother and pinned her to a wall. He had a wild look in his eyes while his mother showed no emotion. "You stay the fuck away from my daughter. You hear me bitch. You go near her and I'll be back here and this time you won't be breathing when I leave." He stood there for a few more seconds before Lucy begged him to go as his mother showed no signs of flinching or fear. He let her up as he quickly ran to Lucy who was shaking. He gathered her in his arms and quickly walked them out the door slamming it hard.
