Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, Natsu and myself hope you're enjoying Flames and Keys . We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.
thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.
We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima
P.S: sorry for the delay guys, I(Lucy) don't have any internet at the moment so for the next month of so the number of chapters I upload isn't going to be as large and won't be as frequent
The songs mentioned in this chapter do not belong to us..
the songs in this chapter are:
- forever or never by Cinema Bizarre
- now I run by Shannon Noll
Lucy: *walks down the hallway back to Natsu's room. She grabs her guitar and sits down. Natsu sits down. The small blue cat plush with wings falls off the bed and he picks it up and dusts it off before putting it back against the pillows-
Lucy: what's that?
Natsu: It's something Wendy gave me -smiles- She's got a similar one
Lucy: *smiles* that's nice
Natsu: Yeah. Gray gives me shit for it though
Lucy: I can imagine him doing that
Natsu: The funny thing is Gajeel wants one. I think he's jealous that Wendy and I have one and he doesn't
Lucy: *giggles* that is funny
Natsu: -grins- Yeah. So can I hear this song?
Lucy: s..sure. It's not that good though *plugs her guitar into the amp*
Natsu: I don't mind. But I doubt that it's not very good based on what you were playing when I fell asleep
Lucy: y..you heard?
Natsu: Yeah. I had a bit of a bad dream and your playing helped me relax
Lucy blushes slightly. She starts strumming
Lucy: I Don't believe in miracles
I never did
Nothing ever happens here
So sick of it
I-I-I told you
I-I-I need to
Get - get myself into something new
I´m for something mystical, hysterical,
Dark, intensive, sexual
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
better make it now or never
(ever, ever)
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
gotta make it now or never
(forever or never)
I don´t believe in fairytales
Too cynical
Everybody stop and stare
I let it go
I-I-I told you
I-I-I need to
Stick - stick - stick out
Just to keep be like you
Send myself to out of space
A better place
Gotta win the human race
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
better make it now or never
(ever, ever)
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
gotta make it now or never
(forever or never)
For my love
For my love
For my love, it's forever, forever
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
Better make it now or never
(ever, ever)
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
Gotta make it now or never
(forever or never)
Lucy keeps strumming for a few more seconds then stops. Natsu watches Lucy and smiles
Lucy: *blushes slightly* so w..what do you think?
Natsu: Really good
Lucy: r..really?
Natsu: Yeah
Lucy: I..I didn't think it was any good cause I've never written music like that
Natsu: It was very good, you don't need to worry about that.
Lucy: *blushes* o..okay
Natsu: -smiles- You ever thought about going for the talent show at school?
Lucy: *shakes her head* n..no.I don't think I'd have a chance at winning *looks down blushing slightly*
Natsu: I reckon you would. A great chance actually
Lucy: y..you sure?
Natsu: Yeah. I wouldn't lie to you, princess
Lucy blushes. She looks at Natsu and smiles. Natsu leans back on the bed, a smile on his face. Lucy looks around the room and see's the pile of music sheets. she gets off the bed, her guitar strapped over her body. she picks up the sheet music and starts looking at them. Natsu closes his eyes, his breathing slows as he relaxes. Lucy takes the music to the bed and starts playing her guitar
Lucy: Tell me how the circle ends
Theres no beginning
Everything that came before
Will come round again
And I look in the mirror
My fathers eyes look back at me
He gave me a road to choose
He gave me freedom
And I pray Im strong enough
To walk in his shoes
And I hope that I become
Half the man he'd want me to be
Cos I feel you guiding me
Showin me the way when Im misdirected
I know you're not here but I feel connected
Natsu wakes up instantly and takes the sheet music from her, blushing and looking away
Lucy: *shocked. she looks at Natsu* huh?
Natsu: Uh... -starts scratching his nose nervously- S..sorry... but that one isn't very good...
Lucy: not very good? I really liked it
Natsu: Y..you do?
Lucy: *nods smiling* uh huh
Natsu: -stands up and takes the sheet back to his desk scratching his head- I could have sworn I put these away.
Lucy sits on the bed looking down at the intricate carvings detailing her guitar
Natsu: Sorry, princess...
Lucy: for what?
Natsu: -turns to look at Lucy, smiling slightly- I guess I'm just not used to someone other than dad telling me I'm good at this kind of stuff
Lucy: I know how you feel. my family only knows about me playing piano. but even with that my father still thinks I'm horrible
Natsu: -looks at the clock on his desk and sees it's around 11- Wow. We lost track of time'
Lucy: it's that late already?
Natsu: Apparently. -walks over to his wardrobe and pulls out a pair of loose shorts he wears while sleeping- I'll go get changed in dad's room and then I guess I'll see you in the morning. -he smiles slightly, but the sides of his mouth almost twitch into a sad frown-
Lucy: *places her guitar down and walks over to Natsu. she places a hand on Natsu's arm* Natsu please tell me what's wrong
Natsu: -looks at the hand she placed on his arm- I..it's nothing important
Lucy: if it's upsetting you this much it must be important
Natsu: -his eyes start watering- T..tomorrow is the day I... I f..found her...
Lucy hugs Natsu
Natsu: -shocked by the sudden hug he just stands there- L..Luce?
Lucy: *pulls back nervously fiddling with her skirt . her face bright red* u..uh s...sorry
Natsu: -looks at her and smiles slightly, a tear falling down his cheek- D..do you mind if I st..stay in here t..tonight? I just...
Lucy: I..I don't mind, it's your room after all
Natsu: Th.. -sniffs- thanks
Lucy: n..no problem
Natsu walks into Igneel's room to get changed, grabbing a tshirt on the way out. He walks back into the room and throws his uniform on the floor before sitting on the end of the bed. Lucy she doesn't hear Natsu walk back into the room, she has her back to him. she starts taking off her sweater vest then her white shirt. Natsu see's the straps of her pink bra. He blushes a deep red and turns away, focusing on a random spot on the wall as he can hear her unbuckling her skirt*
Natsu: -stands up and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him. He leans against the door blushing and breathing heavily, biting onto his lip- (Dammit, Natsu. Now is NOT the time to be thinking about her that way)
Lucy: *looks up at the door* huh?
Natsu: (Shit) -he quickly makes his way to the kitchen before Lucy can open the door-
Lucy: *opens the door standing in just a pink night shirt* Natsu?
Natsu: -turns around and sees Lucy- H..hey
Lucy: whats wrong?
Natsu: Nothing, why?
Lucy: it's nothing. *her shirt sits slightly unbuttoned showing cleavage. her shirt only reaching just below her ass*
Natsu: -looks away from Lucy, blushing deeply- Umm... I think I may sleep on the couch after all. I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable or anything, and we only just met so it might be a little awkward
Lucy: oh *looks down disappointed* okay
Natsu: -hesitantly kisses her on the cheek before heading over to the couch- N..night
Lucy: *blushes* n..night *heads to the bedroom*
Natsu lies awake on the couch curled up into a ball and unable to sleep, tears dripping down his face and every time he closes his eyes he sees his mother's corpse the way he found it when he got home from school that day. Lucy can't get to sleep. keeps dreaming of possible outcomes of what her father would do once he found out about what had happened. tears trickle down her face. The sound of rustling sheets can be heard out in the living room. Natsu gets up and walks to his room, knocking on the door quietly
Lucy: *sounds weak and shaky* y..yeah
Natsu: C..can I come in? -she can hear he's been crying-
Lucy: *sniffs* u..uh huh
Natsu opens the door and walks in quietly, sliding under the covers of the bed. Lucy rolls onto her slide and curls into a ball hugging her torn dragon plushie. Natsu wraps an arm around Lucy and pulls her closer into his chest. Lucy tears trickle down her face. she shakes whenever she closes her eyes. Natsu stays awake the whole night making sure Lucy's okay. He wipes away her tears and rubs her back comfortingly, increasing his body heat slightly to keep her warm and comfortable
Lucy: *sniffs* t..thanks
Natsu: -smiles slightly and kisses her forehead- Any time
Lucy snuggles closer to Natsu and falls asleep. a small smile on her face. Natsu manages to stay awake until the sun starts to rise, giving into exhaustion he falls asleep. Igneel pulls into the drive way and walks inside. he goes to his bedroom
-The next morning-
Lucy gets up and gets dressed for school. Natsu is still asleep. Igneel knocks on the door
Lucy: y..yeah
Igneel: -opens the door and sees Natsu asleep in the bed- I figured he'd be in here. How was last night?
Lucy: he hardly slept at all
Igneel: -sighs- There is no way he is going to be up for going to school today.
Lucy: okay
Igneel: I'll go make breakfast, wake him up so he can join us and I'll take you to school afterwards
Lucy: okay
Igneel closes the door and walks to the kitchen
Lucy: *walks over to the bed. she lightly shakes Natsu* Natsu
Natsu opens one eye slightly and looks at Lucy, his eye red and bloodshot from crying
Lucy: breakfast is going to be ready soon.
Natsu sits up and gets out of bed, stumbling into the kitchen wordlessly
-In the kitchen-
Lucy sits down at the table.
Natsu: -wordlessly slumps down on one of the chairs, his head resting on his arms-
Igneel: Lucy? What would you like for breakfast? I can get you cereal, toast, bacon or eggs
Lucy: some eggs would be nice
Igneel: -smiles- Okay. -he turns to Natsu- Natsu? Would you like anything?
Natsu sits there unresponsive. Igneel sighs sadly and turns back to the stove. Lucy pulls out one of the novels for english and starts reading it.
Wendy: -walks into the kitchen and greets Igneel- Good morning, Igneel-san
Igneel: *looks at Wendy and smiles* good morning Wendy, how are you this morning?
Wendy: I'm good, thank you. How are you and Natsu-san doing?
Igneel: I'm doing well, but Natsu isn't feeling well so he won't be attending school today
Wendy: -looks down sadly- Oh. Is Natsu-san okay?
Igneel: it's one of those days Wendy
Wendy: Can I see him?
Igneel: he's right at the table, but he's not talking much at the moment
Wendy: Do you think my magic could help, Igneel-san?
Igneel: unfortunately not Wendy
Natsu suddenly slams his head against the dining table and starts doing it again and again, tears falling down his cheeks
Igneel: *goes and grabs the back of Natsu's head* Natsu keep it together
Natsu: -looks up at Igneel- I... I can't...
Lucy concentrates her magic, it fills the room and calms Natsu down. she glows slightly
Natsu: Dad. You... you can let go...
Igneel lets go off Natsu's head and goes back to cooking breakfast
Wendy: -walks to the dining table nervously- Good morning Natsu-san, Lucy-san
Lucy: good morning Wendy
Natsu: H..hi Wendy
Wendy: Igneel-san said you weren't coming to school today. -as if on cue Igneel walks in behind Wendy with a plate of food-
Natsu: Y..yeah. I'm not really up for it
Wendy: Would you like me to tell the others?
Lucy: the others?
Natsu: -smiles slightly, but Igneel and Lucy catch the sides of his mouth twitching again- I m..might come in later today.
Igneel: Natsu we'll judge on what happens by how you're feeling
Wendy: Gajeel-san said he wanted to challenge you in gym today
Natsu: I.. I remember. N..needles doesn't stand a chance
Lucy smiles slightly
Wendy: -turns to Igneel- Do you think Natsu-san will come to school later?
Igneel: maybe Wendy
Wendy: -smiles slightly- Well we should go. Grandine said if you were late dropping me off to school again you were going to get hurt
Igneel: *shudder* okay *hands Lucy her breakfast*
Lucy quickly eats her breakfast. Wendy takes Natsu's hand and leads him outside towards Igneel's car
Igneel: -smiles slightly- She's a sweet girl that Wendy
Lucy: yeah she is *smiles*
Igneel: I highly doubt Natsu will be up for doing anything today. I'll stay home and take care of him. Are you coming back here after school?
Lucy: *places her plate in the sink. she grabs her bags and guitar* okay I'm ready. probably not. *sighs* I'm going to have to face my father sooner or later
Igneel: I understand. But know you are always welcome here
Lucy: *smiles* thank you Igneel
Igneel walks outside to see Wendy trying to cheer Natsu up. Lucy: *walks outside following Igneel*
Wendy: at recess yesterday Gajeel was walking into the canteen when he slipped on some ice that formed on the ground around Gray. he ended up slipping and knocking Sting on his butt
Natsu: -smiles slightly- That sounds like him. What happened afterwards?
Wendy: Gajeel got angry at Gray then started a fight. then sting came up with his lackies and started a fight. then Erza broke it up. she sent them all flying out the door
Natsu: That sounds like Erza
Wendy: then Sting ended up landing on Aquarius san.
Natsu: -yawns- Sucks for him. I wish I could've seen it
Wendy: you should've seen it. he got a detention and was made to clean the pool out, he missed his 3rd period class
Natsu smiles, the sides of his mouth twitching slightly as his mind wanders unintentionally
Igneel: -walks up to the car- Are we ready to go?
Wendy: *smiles* yeah
Igneel: Okay. Natsu and Lucy can sit in the backseat while Wendy rides shotgun
Lucy: okay
Wendy: *smiles* okay
