Chapter 6
Intruder?
...
By Mizukage909
I let myself fall onto my bed exhausted after having to run after Natsu for being an complete idiot about him wanting to wear the engagement ring, even though I'm the women here and I might I add a pregnant women. I breathed out a sigh, turning on my back starring at the sealing above me. It was about four pm and I have accomplished nothing today, just chasing after Natsu for about more than 15 minutes.
I found out about the twins after taking another short visit at Porlyusica. I was dumbfounded. I didn't imagine for Natsu to be so good at making not only one baby but two babies in one row.
Just as I was about to get up and take a long relaxing bath, I heard someone coming in. I had no idea who it is or what that person wants from me. Panic started to form inside me an I caught myself breathing really loud, so I forced myself to calm down, without archiving anything by doing so. I got my keys from my desk beside my bed and crouched down on all fours. I got the key for Loke and was about to call him when I heard some rummaging from my kitchen cupboards.
Just who in hell is that person and what was he or she doing in my apartment!? I was getting angry, I really wanted to punch that person for stealing my food in my kitchen which was by the way in my apartment. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. 'Calm down Lucy, just calm down...' I thought to myself. I crawled behind my bed and got a baseball bat from under the bed and had a tight grip around it with both of my hands. I slowly raised myself from the floor and tip toed quietly towards the kitchen.
Who ever it is inside my kitchen will have to feel my wrath. My hands started to tremble a bit, but I did not know why exactly. I wasn't that scared, rather angry than scared. I took another quiet breath and tighten my grip around the baseball bat and was ready to make my attempt against this intruder. I leaned against the wall beside the kitchen door and took a quick glance at the intruder. The open cabinet door blocked my view to the intruders face.
He was rather tall and well build. His cloths were slim fit and simple chosen. It wasn't Natsu I could tell, since his wear of cloths is just unique and Happy would have annoyed me to death by now.
So who is it rummaging in my cupboards, eating everything? 'Okay Lucy, just knock him down and tie him against your bed and make him talk by force! Do it!' I tried encouraging myself, but my feet didn't listen to what I was trying to tell them to do. I just stood there rooted to the floor, trembling violently, starring at the men's back.
I watched him close the cupboard door and turning around slowly, facing me. I felt my knees starting to pace out slowly, so without thinking or taking a good look at the men's face I charged at him with my baseball bat ready to knock him out cold.
"W..Wait Lucy! It's me!" He said, having his hands up in mercy. "God, put that baseball bat down will ya? geez..."
I stopped midway from my attempt to attack him. I slowly lowered my bat and raised an eyebrow. "Gajeel?...what are you doing here?" I let out an relieved breath for not having to deal with an real intruder. "Wait...and what gave you the right to help yourself with my food?!"
"Well I...uh..." He seemed uncomfortable by the fact of being caught from the person he had been stealing food from. He sighed and crossed his arms, avoiding eye contact with me. "I actually came here to...kinda...talk to you really..."
I was surprised, indeed. Why would he want to talk to me? I put the base ball bat aside and took a seat and looked at him suspiciously. "Okay...I'm listening." I said , also crossing my arms.
I remember him friendzoning Levy, and now that I think about it, I should of have just hit him with that baseball bat instead of stopping my attack. I sighed to myself for being an stupid idiot again.
He nodded a little and leaned against the kitchen counter, starring serious to the floor. He was quiet for a few minuets, as if he was trying to think about how to start and choosing the right words to do so. He mumbled something I couldn't quiet understand.
Now that Im looking at him more precise, his cloths look torn and dirty. It seemed like he was up in a fight with someone or something. Even though I was angry at him for making levy cry, I also started to get worried. Without knowing, I started to stare at him worriedly.
I guess he caught me looking at him intensively since he started to talk after about five minutes of silence. "it's nothing , I tripped and fell..into...uh...the water." he nodded to himself, as if he was trying to convince himself that it actually occurred. I sighed. Natsu could lie better than him.
"So what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked again. He just stood there for a long time now, mumbling some words here and now and then. Without me understanding anything of what he was trying to say.
He again fell into deep silence, looking rather thoughtful to no one in particularly. I don't have time for this, he either tells me what he wants or leaves and tells me another time when he is ready to tell me. Seriously, and here I thought I was the one who always hesitates talking about my feelings.
"It's about Levy." He suddenly blurted out. I made an slight jump when he suddenly talked out of no where. I quickly calmed myself down and looked at him rather confused.
I crossed on of my legs over the other and slightly squinted my eyes together. "About Levy?" I repeated. He nodded slowly, again avoiding eye contact with me. "And what exactly-" I got interrupted.
"I wanted to give here something, but I dunno what she likes. And you are here best friend so..."
"So you thought I might help you with that, is that right?" I continued for him. He looked rather surprised but nodded again. "And what makes you think I might help you?"
He went silent again,probably thinking of some reason of why I should help him with that. After a while he just shrugged. "Dunno...you just could.." He said.
Well I really just could and help him. It would be easier for him and me. I sighed. I thought about it for a while and looked at him, just to see him still avoiding any kind of eye contact.
Is he embarrassed asking me for help? I gave in.
"Fine, I'll help you." I said, uncrossing my arms and turned to the table, taking out a piece of paper and a pen.
Gajeel smirked in triumph and took a seat across of me. "Thanks...I guess..." He said sheepish.
I said nothing at this point and started to write something on the paper. I could feel him starring at me, it made me feel uncomfortable, but I hid it quiet well for him not to notice.
After I finished writing I handed him the piece of paper and stood up from the chair.
"Get her this, she'll love it for sure." I said, smiling smoothly. It was kind of sweet, watching Gajeel trying to make it up to Levy after making her cry. I don't even know if he knows that levy cried, but even so, it is just sweet from him.
The raven haired looked at the piece of paper kind of questioning. "And where do you think I suppose to get that kind of shit?" He asked annoyed.
And there you go, ruining the cute moment. I breathed out frustrated, rubbing my eyes tired with one of my hands. "That kind of shit is called a bookstore, Gajeel."
He raised an eyebrow but said nothing further and stood up from the chair As well. He tugged the paper inside of his side pockets away and made his way to the door. "Thanks again." He mumbled, nearly not understandable for me to hear.
"No problem." I said quietly as I watched him leave. At least he doesn't use the window to come in and leave again. I looked at the clock, nearly two hours went by since the intruder misunderstanding.
I still haven't bathed yet and I felt gross and just...well...ew...
I went inside my bathroom and went by past the mirror. . . . I went back again to look at myself, I turned to the side and pulled my shirt up, only to see my lower half of my belly sticking out a bit. I took some uneasy breaths.
I'm turning fat.
And there is nothing I can do about...it will just grow even bigger, rounder and uglier. I gulped.
'Lucy...its just because of the twins...it's normal so calm down.' I tried again to calm myself down. 'They need to grow, so it's only normal for your belly to start to stick out a bit.'
I nodded to agree with myself. I ran water into the bath tub and stripped the rest of my cloths off and slowly sat myself inside the bathtub. Goosebumps started to form on my skin as the warm water embraced my naked body.
It felt so good and the sound of the water dripping from the water tap was just as relaxing as if it were completely silent. I closed my eyes to enjoy this moment of silent and smiled satisfied.
"LUCYY!? YOU THERE?! IM COMING IN OKAY?" I heard someone roar through my apartment.
I opened my eyes in shock.
No.
No.
Not now Natsu...please.
He barged inside the bathroom, just to see me naked. His cheeks sightly turned red and there was a short moment of an awkward silence in this room.
"GET OUT Natsu! I'm taking a bath in here!" I leaned forward to reach one of my boots and threw it towards Natsu's face. I covered my private parts of my bods with both if my arms starring at him angry.
"Wait Luce...I-" he dodged the boot and covered his eyes with both of his hands. " But Luce, there is nothing wrong about me seeing you naked." He said in an kind of matter of fact tone.
Nothing wrong!? I growled. "Just get out of here!"
Its not that I'm ashamed if he does see me naked, it's just...sometimes I really enjoy the moment of being alone with myself in my bath tub.
"Okay okay..." He mumbled slightly disappointed and went blindly out of the bathroom, walking into the wall, leaving me with myself again. I chuckled slightly, and went back to my relaxing bath.
I sighed satisfied again and closed my eyes. I wonder where Happy is, normally he follows Natsu where ever he goes if I'm not wrong. Maybe I shouldn't worry too much, he is probably with Carla or something. Yeah, that's it...by Carla.
My body slowly turned tired and my mind slowly forgot where I supposedly was in the first place and I fell asleep in the bath tub filled with warm water.
I really tried to not make it seem like i rushed this chapter like the last one, maybe Ill rewrite it again, since it is kind of awfully written. But I dunno. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and leave a review to state your opinion to this chapter, but you don't have to.
So, it's decided, the twins will be two boys. Thanks for reading this chapter, it really makes me happy indeed. :3
