Chapter 17 Waking Up

Natsu POV

When I finally got to where I last saw Lucy, I saw her collapse and I was worried that Zeref did something to her.

"LUCY!" I yelled as I ran up to her, she looked back at me and gave me a weak smile and said,

" I'm so happy I'm not alone anymore…" Then she fell unconscious and I panicked and yelled,

"LUCY"

I checked her vitals to make sure she was ok, and I found that she was just drained from using to much magic energy. I sighed in relief and I picked her up bridal style and started walking to my house.

When I got there I went upstairs and laid her down on my bed and tucked her in. After making sure she was ok then walked out and quietly closed the door.

'What did she mean by not alone anymore?' I thought and went down stairs to a very worried mother and father.

" Is she ok?" My mom asked.

" I think so, her vitals are fine but I don't know anything else. But right now she needs rest." I answered.

My mom looked shocked at me.

" When did you become so grown up? You make me feel old." She cried. I blushed and said,

" Mom I always have been grown up!"

" If your definition of grown up is get into fights and act like a 2 year old 24/7, then yes you are so grown up Natsu." She said with a straight face.

I grumble to myself and give them a pouty face.

" Why do you got be so mean to me!" I said with fake tears.

" It's because we love you so much." Dad said as he ruffled my hair, I try to swat his hand away so he wouldn't mess up my hair anymore.

" Ugh dad!" I groaned fixing my hair even though it's always messy but shhhh it's fine.

" Ok stop it you too, come on let's go down stairs before we wake Lucy up." Mom said.

" Ok" Both me and dad said at the same time.

Then we climbed down the stairs, I couldn't help but look back towards my closed bedroom door. Then I followed my parents down stairs.

LUCY POV.

I look around me and everything is dark.

'Wait what? What happened?' I thought then I remembered.

'Oh yeah Zeref….' It was then that I realized that my eyes were closed so I tried to open them. It took some effort but i finally got them open.

I sit up and looked around the unfamiliar room.

The color scheme of the room was red, orange and black (I'm leaving to how those colors would look around the room to you guys, cus I'm lazy and tired).

' Hmm must be Natsu's room.' I thought inside my head.

CRASH!

I jumped at the sound that came down stairs.

I quickly got out of bed and slowly made my way down the stairs getting ready to attack if I need to.

" NATSU! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU WOKE UP POOR LUCY I AM GOING TO KI-" I laughed at the scene playing out in front of me.

Natsu had flour all over him and the container is on the floor, Mr. Dragneel trying not to laugh his head off at how stupid his son looked right now, and Mrs. Dra- I mean Grandeeney, holding a butcher's knife in her right hand frozen as if she was deer in headlights.

" O-oh Lucy dear I didn't hear you come down stairs…" She said trying to gain back her composure.

I laugh again, " It's perfectly fine Grandeeney, you weren't suppose to be able to hear me. Also Natsu you have something," I gestured to all of him, " There."

That's when Natsu's dad finally lost it laughing so hard he fell of the couch.

" Igneel!" Grandeeney scolded her husband.

Natsu comes over to me and says, " How are you feeling?"

I smiled at him being concerned about my well being when Natsu was the one in the bandages.

" I'm fine thanks to you, but your all banged up thanks to me." I said looking down, I felt a warm hand hold my chin and pull it up so I would be forced to look at whoever was holding my chin.

I stare into those beautiful onyx eyes of a pink haired idiot.

" Lucy what happened today wasn't your fault, it's Zeref's' and mine, I was the one he wanted not you, he used you to get to me, which by the way he shouldn't have done." Looking straight into my eyes so I could tell that he wasn't just saying that.

We stared at each other for what felt like hours but was probably only seconds, until Natsu's dad said, " Awwww they LOOOOOOVE each other!"

" IGNEEL!" Grandeeney smacked her husband upside the head.

" You ruined their moment!"

" Ugh Mom! Dad!" Natsu groaned, while I started to laugh my head off.

They all looked at me, Igneel and Natsu both had identical wide grins on their faces, and Grandeeney gave me a sweet smile before returning to the kitchen to continue dinner.

" Oh we never properly introduced ourselves, I am Igneel Dragneel, I'm Natsu's adopted father. You may call me Igneel, Mr. D, or Dad." He said while holding out his hand for me.

I laughed and said, " Hello it's nice to meet you Igneel my name is Lucy Heartfilia."

"Wait what!?" Igneel yelled even Grandeeney looked shocked and Natsu just looked confused.

" Wait I thought your last name was Heart." Natsu said.

" At school it is, my true last name is Heartfilia." I said with a sad smile then I looked at Igneel and Grandeeney with a questioning look.

" We knew your parents Lucy. We were told that everyone in the Heartfilia family was dead, except they never found their daughter's body, your body. I should have seen it you look exactly like your mother." Grandeeney explained.

My eyes went wide as I started to remember something when I was younger.

" Oh my- I remember coming here when I was younger, me and Natsu always played together." I said looking at Natsu who looked like he was thinking really hard about something.

" Yeah I'm starting to remember now too." He answered.

" I'm so happy to know that you're ok and alive. But if your parents are dead who's looking after you?" Igneel asked.

" Oh no one, I live on my own, I have ever since I was 10." I answered like it was no big deal.

" Since you were 10!?" Grandeeney said horrified that her best friends daughter had to grow up so fast.

" Yeah it's no big deal." I said, " Um it's getting late I should head home."

" Oh no you don't it's way too dark outside for you to walk home alone, you will be staying here for the night as our guest you got it." Igneel said with a killer look saying try going against me I dare you.

I sighed and said, " I guess it can't be helped."

" Good now that we got that figured out I say we skip dinner and go to bed, I'm sure we are all tired and plus the dinner is burned because of what happen today."

We all agreed and we went to bed I slept with Natsu cus I honestly didn't care and neither did his parents.

" Goodnight Luce." Natsu said as he wrapped his arms around my waist, I snuggled deeper into his chest cuz I was cold.

" Goodnight Natsu see you in the morning." I said with a yawn and fell back into a starless night.
