As sundown neared, Natsu finished up his work and headed home.
Upon opening the door, he was greeted by not only his cat, but a petite white haired girl. Fairly cute, but no one would throw beautiful around as much unless they loved her.
"Hi there Natsu!" She smiled and stood up from the living room couch, walking over and giving him a big hug. He chuckled and hugged her back.
"Hi Lisanna." He smiled and let her go, walking over to the couch and flopping down on it.
"You've been avoiding me lately." She walks over and sits on the ottoman in front of him. Her posture straight. A flirtatious undertone in her voice. Brushing her bangs back and her smile smile and cute.
"I've been working lately. Picking up some extra cash. Especially since I need the money to pay my tuition if I even get into Fairy Tail." He rubbed his eyes and pushed his bangs back, a sign of stress. "Which, I won't. I would only get in for sports since I didn't do well in school."
"Natsu..." She smiled, and shook he head "Here's a letter from Fairy Tail. And before you get on my case about reading your mail, you will be happy in the end." She grabs the letter from behind her and extends he arm to him.
Puzzled, he takes the letter and opens it.
Dear Natsu Dragneel,
On behalf of the council of Fairy Tail, we invite you to join our student body this year. Though your grades were average, you show exactly the personality and perseverance we are looking for here at Fairy Tail. And would like to invite you and a guest to Fairy Tails student day, August 25th 2016. We will be looking forward to you attending.
Headmaster Makarov
"I'm in?" He stood up "I made it into Fairy Tail!"
"You did!" Lisanna stood and hugged him, smiling.
He hugged her back and smiled.
After about two hours of celebration, Lisanna left Natsu home alone with his thoughts. He climbed up the stairs, and trudged into his room before flopping down onto the bed. His arm crossed over his eyes, and let out a soft groan as his back cracked and stretched out. Before he realized it, he was fast asleep.
Natsu was back up in the loft of the barn again, hauling some more hay.
"Natsu?" A soft voice spoke up and he looked down and noticed Lucy.
"Yes? What is it?" He climbed down and walked over to her. His back slightly hunched.
"Can you help me open something, I'm strong but apparently not strong enough right now to open a jar."
"Sure, I'm here to help."
"Thanks honey." She kisses his cheek and hands over the jar. "Can you hurry? I've got to get back at the house in case the baby wakes up."
"Alright I'll hurry, besides, if the baby wakes I think the dogs will alert us or something." Natsu smiles and opens the jar, leaning in and kissing her lips. But, they were never kissed before so he couldn't describe them.
"Yeah right, dogs would do that. The baby cries they would just stick around the baby them self." She smiled, "I love you"
"I love you too"
Natsu quickly shoots up and scares Happy off the bed. Sitting up in the bed, a little disoriented, and distracted from the dream. Only 1:57 am, and there were hours to go. But how could he go to sleep?
Especially if he kept having dreams like that.
He didn't know what they meant, but a part of him deep down wished for them to be true.
