Chapter3

The blonde walked out from the bathroom putting one towel around his waist and the other one on his head drying the hair of his. He just took a warm shower making him feels fresh after a long trip. He returned to find his home as he paid all the rent he had these months. Of course he was working for this day to pay that accumulated debt to have his apartment back. He grabbed the towel that was on his head and removed it walking to his bedroom. He froze in his place as he saw Natsumi on the couch of his. He rubbed his eyes and saw nothing. He imagined her here sitting and eating from chips. He frowned as he shook his head walking towards his closet. It was horrible, feeling those feelings whenever he remembered her name. He regrets leaving a year ago. At first, he thought that he would forget but it seems that he couldn't. he thought of her in every hour, in every minute and in every second. She was his savior whenever something bad happened to him. He dreamed of her in every night whether it was a normal dream or a nightmare. He became crazy about her and when he returned looking back to an answer, she let him down and answered with no and that left him an only one answer and it was also no. Lucas rubbed his hair bringing his bangs to the back as he imagined the pink haired in front of him.

Love wasn't only a word. It was a very meaningful word. It's deep and emotional word. And Natsumi meant the life to him that he couldn't let it aside and live in his own. Whenever he tried to forget her, his mind would end up bringing her picture in every time. That's why he regrets everything he did until now and he would kill himself because of all those mistakes he did wishing to have her back like what he imagined in the past. The blonde sighed as chose a t-shirt from the shirts that were in his wardrobe. It was a black one with random word in the middle. He wore it without even looking at the shape.

After getting dressed, Lucas sat down on his chair that was in front of the desk and brought his head to the back staring at the white roof. It has been a year. He let out a mocked laugh. A year passed and he didn't move from his place but now, the pink haired mage is in a completely different level from his. She is an s-class mage and he is a normal mage who has some magic he can protect himself with. Of course he worked really hard in this year but it's wasn't an advancing it was just the same place and the same spot.

He shook his head and looked back at his desk staring at the paper in front of him. He was supposed to write but his mind was in a chaos and he couldn't focus in anything. He was about to die from thinking. Even though that didn't appear before the guys in the guild or even in front of Natsumi but the all the concealing is appearing here making him unable to continue. He stared at the space pausing remembering his journey until today and then took a deep breath from his mouth and looked down at his pen. He grabbed it and put it on the paper that was in front of him.

It's been already a year since I left Magnolia for my journey that I couldn't get any benefit from it. It was useless that I thought that would make me able to get rid of these of feelings but it wasn't easy at all. It's so hard that made me fall for her more than I was already. I didn't understand the reason. I was having her in my dreams, I was imagining her everywhere and I was seeing her whenever I go. I never understood love and I think will never do.

Lucas let out a sigh as he closed his eyes seeing the pink haired girl's smile while calling his name out. He rubbed his head as he opened his eyes.

She has glamour that no one beats her in it. Natsumi… the girl I will never be able to overcome. But, I'm happy she was able to overcome me. As long as she happy, I will try to be happy.

Lucas stood up leaving the paper and the pen on the desk and walking towards the kitchen. He opened the fridge and of course he didn't find a thing because he was gone. He sighed and rubbed his long her and started to walk back to his room to get shoes and money in order to buy food for dinner.

He walked in Magnolia's streets staring at those people who walked everywhere. This city is always crowded and he didn't know why. Maybe because people from everywhere in Fiore loved to hang out in Magnolia specially. He stopped at the shop as he decided he will have his food from it. He walked inside choosing bread, milk and eggs. Those will be good for tonight as he will buy the rest in another time. Actually, Lucas didn't travel in countries and cities while eating from the forests. He was working and getting money to eat and live. He was thinking that if it was Natsumi, she would just eat whatever animal she saw in the forest. He paid the money and started to walk back in his way.

This night and this air, he missed this city. He stopped in his place as he took a deep breath from his nose closing his eyes. 'This feels good.' That's the first thing that came in his mind when he felt the soft breeze hitting his skin. He smiled and then started to listen to the people's voices. It wasn't like he wanted to know what they are saying but it would make it better to feel the air and hear the voices together. But, he suddenly frowned as he heard something annoyed his ear. He just focused on it and suddenly opened his ear to look at his right direction. His eyes widened as he stared at the view of him.

In restaurant, the pink haired girl was grabbing the collar of the waiter's shirt as she started to scream on him. He quickly walked towards the place and opened it as he saw five bottles of bear was put down on the table and the girl fighting with the waiter.

"I'm not going… to pay all these… money –hic- do you hear me?!" she said as she tried to open her eyes as they were forced to close themselves. "I didn't drink or eat those –hic-." She said while gesturing at the table.

"Please calm down, pink haired-san!" the waiter said scared of her and trying to calm her down.

"-Hic- I have a name… it's Natsumi!" she answered in back as the blonde stared with a shock drawn on his face. He was so surprised to see her here and he kept grabbing the door's handle. He tried to get his awareness back as he let go of it and called her name.

"Natsumi!" he finally walks to them as he grabbed her arms pulling them away from the waiter that was scared to death. When he felt free, he ran away from them hiding behind them and looking at them secretly. "What are you doing?!" Lucas asked as he held her writs. He smelled her and found that she was completely drunk.

"Lucas!" After a long pause from her she finally got the idea that the blonde was standing in front of her.

"You smell like alcohol!" he said as he tried to search for that waiter who just ran away. "We are very sorry, waiter-san!" he said as he started to show himself from behind the wall. "My friend gets a little aggressive when she gets drunk, please forgive her!" Lucas said as he bowed his head while grabbing the arms of the pink haired. The man let go of the wall and took a step to the front crossing his arms.

"I don't care about that I just need my money." He said looking at the other direction; sweat dropped from his face.

"I don't think I have enough money for that… can I pay you tomorrow?" Lucas asked as he looked at the man. The man was a little taken being afraid of not getting his money but Lucas calmed him. He let go of one of Natsumi's hands and raised it to the guy, "I'm from fairy tail if you are afraid of not getting the money back." Before he could get back an answer he was pushed away from the pink haired who was staring at him in anger. He didn't know the reason but decided to let it slide since she was drunk.

"Bastaaaard~~ -hic-" Natsumi started reeling as she was about to fell down but he grabbed her from falling on the ground. He stared into her eyes as she did the same. He wanted to look at her eyes more than that. He wanted to get himself full from her, he wanted to have her! She pushed him away as fell down on the flat ground staring at her lap.

"Hic"

He stretched his arm out to her waiting for her hand to grab on his. "Come on, I will walk you home…" Natsumi slapped his hand away standing up and taking steps. But before she could take another step he curried her and put her over his shoulder and walked out of the restaurant.

"Let me go!" she screamed as she hit his back with his fists.

"I won't let go of you so shut up!" Lucas shouted at her as her protesting died and she stopped talking. That was a little terrible for Lucas but it was better than getting hit by her small hands. He walked between people feeling embarrassed walking like that with a girl over his shoulder.

"Oh, isn't that Lucas-kun?"

"Yeah, this pink hair, it should be Natsumi-chan."

"How lovely…"

Lucas shook his head as he started running grabbing Natsumi tighter as she stretched her hands out cheering him like he was her horse.

"Go on!"

Lucas threw Natsumi down on his bed as she groaned in pain. He was harsh throwing her like that but he was just angry of her and what she did. No matter what he can't forget that she was doing that to an innocent person even if she was drunken. If he weren't there she would end up in a very big problem though.

"Can't you be a little nice? –hic-" Natsumi stared at his eyes and he stared at her with cold eyes.

"Don't ever drink bear again, do you hear that?!" he sat at the chair in front of his bed as he kept staring at her. The question now was why did Lucas take her to his home not hers? He looked into her eyes as she did the same but she had a smile in her eyes. Lucas didn't realize that gleam in eyes. He… he didn't know why did he bring her here. He didn't know what that thing that attracted him to her was, he didn't know a thing. "What made you drink that much? You don't usually drink," she smiled and sat up and stared at him holding a pillow to her lap.

"Some people drink when they are sad and some other… drink when they are happy," she said looking at the ground. "And I, I don't know why I am drinking." she said as she kept staring at the ground. After seconds she smiled again, "What do you think the reason would be?" she grinned at him showing that she completely drunk that time. He wanted to cry but couldn't. She is so far from him and he couldn't reach her out. She is someone that he can't ever beat in everything. He thought that she is perfect in everything and he won't be able to reach her. She was smiling in every situation and to whatever happens to her. She was amazing…

Lucas stood up turning his body away from her as he started to walk to the kitchen. "I will bring you water."

"Hie~~"

He walked into a kitchen as he held the fridge's handle staring at the space. Why was it so hard to look into her eyes? Why? Lucas took a deep breath through his mouth as he squeezed his eyes shut. She called him a bastard. She wanted to have a fight with him and of course she was angry of what he did a year ago but was she telling the truth when she told him that she was fine? He becomes unable to understand a thing about this twisted world. In his room he had the girl he loved the most but he can't reach her. She is so far from him. The blonde cleared his mind as he shook his head and opened the fridge searching for cold water. He walked out of the kitchen as he stared at the ground holding a cup of cold water. When he reached the bed, he found out that the pink haired girl was already asleep hugging the pillow to her chest. He stared at that innocent face of hers and paused. How could she be like that? That innocent airhead girl carries those feelings inside of her. She carries a heavy burden on her shoulders. How can she bear that? How? The answer is simple because she is Natsumi. He rubbed his head and put the glass on the desk next to her and walked to the couch lying down on it.

He kept staring at her until he fell asleep.
