Chapter20

"What are you doing?"

"Some stretches."

The pink haired girl threw her arms above her head and started to stretch all of her body in order to get flexible.

"Why would you do it?" the blue cat flew above her head and started to look at her while doing it. For him, she looked so funny doing it with the gypsum that wrapped her arm and leg.

"I need to do it so my body won't get stiff." She kept doing it and without his realization, she wrapped her hands around him as she brought him to her chest and smirked as she tightened the grip around of him.

"I'm chocking Natsumi!" he yelled.

"I'm still strong after all." She smirked.

After leaving him go, Natsumi throw her body on the hammock as she started swinging it. She looked at the ceiling and smiled.

"And you were tired two days ago!"

"I'm still tired." She answered not looking at his face.

"I don't really see you tired. Maybe being tired in your meaning not in the humanity meaning." He let out a sigh as he moved his head above her and looking at her. "I'm going to the guild, are you going to come?"

"No, I can't."

Happy just looked at her for a second and then sighed. She is completely different from Natsumi who was going to the guild first. He decided to let go of it as long as she really looks happy.

"Okay then, see you tonight." He waved his hand to her and then went out from the house closing the door behind him. Natsumi followed him with her eyes until he disappeared from her eyesight. Then she jumped out of the bed going to where her kitchen was. She started to bring out so many objects from everywhere and started working out.

Later after some hours Natsumi came out from the kitchen on the door's knocks as she started to walk slowly towards the door and opened it. She smiled at the person who was standing in front of her. And of course you can guess already that it was Lucas. His eyes widened when he saw her. Natsumi, the dragon slayer was wearing her white short dress and had her hair done. A bun on the top of her head and her rest of her hair was falling down on her shoulder. Not to mention she was putting some makeup she had in her room. He smiled when he suddenly felt like she was an angel that fell off the heaven.

Natsumi was grabbing the door's handle and let it go and swung her one arm in the air for Lucas to come inside. Lucas walked slowly inside as his eyes never left the pink haired girl. She then laughed at his reaction and that when she realized that he was holding something in his hand, it was a bouquet of flowers. She raised both her brows and looked at Lucas.

"Is that… for me?" Lucas raised his hand slowly to look at the flowers he held in his hands and quickly looked back at her with a blush.

"I wanted… I wanted to bring something as a 'thank you' gift for you because you are going to feed me." He said as he started to move his hand slowly towards her direction. "I didn't know what to bring so I brought flowers."

Natsumi took the bouquet out from his hand and kept looking inside of it at the flowers. There were white and red flowers and were surrounded by the bouquet paper and it looked very unique and beautiful. Natsumi was frozen for a moment as she kept looking at the flowers. It was very weird feelings because it was her very first time to receive such a present from someone. She is feeling like she has gone crazy. She raised her head to look at the blonde and smiled softly.

"T-Thank you, I really like flowers so much." She blushed as she kept looking at him and the bouquet many times. Lucas smiled because she liked it and closed the door behind him as both of them started walking in the house.

"What did you tell Happy?" the blonde sat on the nearest chair as he followed the pink haired girl with his eyes.

"I just told him that I'm tired." She raised her voice because she was entering the kitchen and leaving him in the living room. Lucas heard her answer and waited for her to come back in order to continue his talk. And when she came back, she was holding a plate that was filled of food.

"I have prepared a new thing for you this time because I know that you got bored of the pancakes and the sausage that I'm making every time." She said as she put down the plate on the table next to her. Lucas stood up and decided to help her out in bringing the food with her.

"I don't get bored of your food you know." He went after her inside of the kitchen.

"Then, take this plate." Lucas took the plate and kept looking at her face.

"Aren't you going to tell him about us?" Natsumi stayed silent as she kept looking at the blonde guy. "You know, now or later they will know. And it's better to be early or they might get angry." He heard the dragon slayer take a deep breath through her mouth and look back at him.

"Can we just eat now and then we can talk about this thing later?" Lucas nodded his head slowly as he kept looking at the pink haired girl. He moved out of the kitchen and putting the plate down on the table.

Natsumi and Lucas had put the rest of the food on the table and started to eat. Natsumi had made pasta and grilled chicken with tomatoes soup. Lucas was actually shocked of her way of cooking and felt like he was blessed.

"When you said you are going to make me food I thought that you're going to make me pancakes again." He laughed.

"You are rude, do you see me unable to make anything except for pancakes. Did you forget about the appetizers?" she said as she frowned.

"I told you already that I don't get bored of them." He looked into her eyes and smiled. "Anyway," he looked back at his soup and the other plates. "I really like your food so much."

"You're so sweet." She said and he laughed. "What's wrong?"

"I can't just adapt this easily with the sweet words your saying to me. I was treated with a really rough treatment." He laughed and she faked a frown.

"I can treat you like I'm treating Gray if you want to." His eyes widened at what she said and let go of the spoon.

"No, no! Forget about what I said." He smiled nervously and she just laughed.


The pink haired put the plate next to her and put back her hand again on the water. She was just washing the plates in order to get rid of them as soon as possible. Lucas came into the kitchen and realized that she was washing the plates. He walked in the room and straddled her with a back hug. She became shocked at first but not the like last times because she has got used to it already.

"You are stubborn, didn't the doctor tell you to stay in bed?" the blonde said squeezing her tight to his chest. She smiled and put the plate next to her.

"I can wash the dishes and walk freely. I don't want to just sit around doing nothing." Before she could grab another plate, Lucas squeezed around her tummy and carried her away from the water.

"Where are you taking me?" Lucas put her down and turned her body to his direction. "If you want to do anything because of your free time, come and sit with me." He smiled lowering down and kissing her cheek. Natsumi kept staring at him for a second and blushed really hard when he kissed her on the cheek she looked down then he grabbed her hand and started to walk away pulling her with him.

The blonde sat down on the couch as he pulled the girl next to her and kept looking at her face. "Does it still feel weird?" he asked and she kept looking into his eyes. Their love wasn't like any other love. Their love was so pure have no grudge or hate. They just didn't want anything from the other one. They just wanted the other be happy with him.

Natsumi smiled slowly and lowered her head slowly while her face burned. She raised her right hand and grabbed into his shirt without even looking at his eyes.

"It's my first time… it's my first time to feel such a feeling." She paused her talking as she kept her head lowered. "Your feelings are the same as mine, your love pureness are the same as mine… I can see it through your eyes and your... heart." She said and then moved her hands slowly and wrapped them around his body still resting her head on his chest. "Your warmth has reached me… it's just… weird." She let out a relived sigh.

Lucas was now burning in the face of how many steps she has taken with an only one question. He was new to love as well and didn't know what to do too. She was just eminent than him because of how many steps she had taken. He was frozen in his place and didn't react until Natsumi opened her mouth to talk again.

"Don't ever leave me, Lucas."

Lucas suddenly shot his eyes wide. He lowered his head to look at the top of her head to discover that how embarrassed she was because she was getting in a situation she didn't used to get in. He moved his hands and circled it around her as he took a breath through his mouth and let go of it slowly.

"I promise… I will never your side, Natsumi." He kissed the top of her head and rested his chin on her head. The both of them were silent after that and didn't say anything because their feelings were connected even when they didn't speak at all. They were just happy being like that and didn't need to talk about anything because it will be useless. Feeling the warmth comes out from each other, they slowly fell asleep without realizing it.

They didn't need a fancy love that was only for the show. They didn't need a love that filled with loving things that is not related to love. They didn't need to say how much they loved each other because when they believe in the other side, they will immediately be sure of how much they loved one another.


The blue little cat was flying in the street all alone and was thinking of Natsumi and how strange she acted lately. Before a week ago, she was just gloomy and depressed but now the smile never leaves her face. When he really thinks of it, he feels that a very weird thing is happening to her. Is she just a girl that has two sides or was there something happened in her trip? For him, he would prefer the second thing because it will be a tire if it was the first thing.

Happy sighed as he kept on flying. Now he thinks about it, she hasn't got out from the house since the morning. Is she really alright? The normal Natsumi he knows can't stay still in a place for an hour with doing nothing. He sped up and tried to go check on the girl because he became sick worried these past days. It was like that he was taking care of her not the opposite.

When he reached the house, he opened the house slowly and entered. He was just about to call over Natsumi's name but was surprised by the view he saw before him.

The blonde Lucas and the pink haired Natsumi was sleeping on the couch hugging each other. Happy's eyes widened by the view he saw before him. He was actually speechless to see something like that. He had a prove of no matter what happened these two will never go out but, the opposite prove has come to a show. His mouth dropped as he kept staring at the view before him.

Slowly and slowly, Natsumi was able to sniff the air through her sensitive nose but wasn't actually able to decide on whose scent it was. She moved away from Lucas's chest and moved her head to look at the sudden figure. Her eyes widened and pushed the blonde away from her but couldn't control over herself and he fell down on the ground screaming.

Lucas woke up with wide eyes still shocked. He looked at the front of him to realize that Happy was standing before him, he moved his head back to look at Natsumi to realize that she was speechless not able to talk a thing.

"Happy, let me explain something."

"Y-You are… married?"

The pink haired and the blonde shared a look and then Natsumi shook her head and sat down on her knees on the ground next to the blonde. She took a deep breath and stretched her arms to grab the blue cat and bring him to her lap.

"T-Then… what are you?"

"Happy, I and Lucas are dating."

Happy cleared his throat and looked at Lucas for a second. "The… both of you had really convinced me that… there wasn't anything between the both of you." He said silently still shocked of what he had seen.

"Happy, a lot of things happened and… I was just not sure if I'm going to end up like that or not." Natsumi said silently as she looked at Happy's eyes.

"Yeah, we felt that it's impossible for the two of us to be together. And we are really blessed to reach to this point." Lucas said with a calm voice as he kept staring at him. Happy looked at him and was touched by their words and then looked back again at the pink haired girl. He pouted and talked again.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I was actually thinking of a way to tell you but I just fell asleep." The pink haired said while squeezed his body. He looked at her and didn't say anything and looked at the guy behind her and felt a shiver running down his spine as he remembered them holding each other and sleeping. He had always teased them of being together and was actually wishing for that happened but it was along ago and when it's finally come true, he can't just swallow the thing. Happy sighed as he lowered his head while closing his eyes and nodded slowly.

Natsumi immediately understood that he had given up his shock and decided to be convinced by their relationship. She wrapped her arms around his body and held him to her chest.

"What a good boy. That's why I love you."
