Chapter 4: Reassurance
*Sigh*
'So tired and all because of some stupid rumors, it's not like I really care actually, after what Lucy said I felt the urge to leave things clear but now… now I seriously don't care about the whole deal as much as earlier.' Natsu thought to himself as he remained sprawled over his bed staring at the ceiling of his bedroom, his cellphone replaying the same music as one hour ago and his eyes growing heavy with each second; it was 9pm and he was still awake.
*Bip! Bip!*
Shaking his head awake, the pink-haired boy raised his arm to take a look at his cellphone's screen, seeing it light up and displaying a message alert. He raised an eyebrow in wonder, who could be texting him this late on school days? Opening the cell's lid, he clicked the middle button and read the content of the message.
Natsu! What r u doing?
From: Jellal
To: Natsu
XX/XX/11 21:04
He raised an eyebrow at the message, not grasping what he wanted to know, the blue-haired man was used to send messages at this late hour to talk about random stuff from college but he never started asking how he was doing. Thinking about it, perhaps the boy learned of his little outburst today at the school courtyard and he wanted to know what happened… though, always one with a careful attitude with the council member, Natsu answered evasively.
Hi, listening music, y?

To: Jellal

*Bip!*
Nothing big, just asking, did u hear anything new at school?
From: Jellal
To: Natsu
XX/XX/11 21:09
Of course he did! 'Only the pres. being interested in you but it's not like I'll tell you about it…' The pink-haired thought in dry amusement, frowning slightly at remembering the occurrences of that day at school; the rumors Elfman talked about, Gray's annoying answers, Lucy's help when he was down about them and Lyon's advice with his problems that now that he thought about it wasn't of big help if he wasn't going to do anything with it. He tipped his answer with both hands, changing to sit on his bed to avoid falling sleep; his mp still playing his usual playlist.
Nah, y? Did you?
From: Natsu
To: Jellal
XX/XX/11 21:12
*Bip!*
Yes, just some silly rumor about
Erza-san being interested in me… xD
From: Jellal
To: Natsu
XX/XX/11 21:15
Natsu tightened the hold on his cellphone subconsciously, narrowing his eyes at what was written; sure that Jellal would be taking this whole deal like a laugh since he always got in the middle of such rumors. The boy removed his earphones and turned off the music, standing up to write the next message.
YR, I heard about it too…
From: Natsu
To: Jellal
XX/XX/11 21:20
*Bip!*
…U k? I thought u would be
laughing by now… ¿?
From: Jellal
To: Natsu
XX/XX/11 21:23
Natsu rolled his eyes at the message, scowling at noticing that the boy didn't remember about their talk a year ago; well, it wasn't like he could blame him for that, Jellal had many other important things on his mind besides friends' deep conversations.
*Bip!*
Hey, sorry about it, I remembered
what you told me…
From: Jellal
To: Natsu
XX/XX/11 21:25
Half a smile crept on his face at reading the message, jumping back first on his bed, Natsu tipped out the next message.
10X pal, I knew I could count with
you…
From: Natsu
To: Jellal
XX/XX/11 21:28
*Bip!*
Yw, don't worry Natsu and don't
listen to those rumors, they're
not true…
From: Jellal
To: Natsu
XX/XX/11 21:30
And with that last message, Natsu's mind felt at ease, even if he didn't knew why, he welcomed the feeling and how it made everything go back to normal on his life. No worries, no problems; just him, his friends and school to worry about. He left the phone open on the nightstand and marched to the bathroom, taking a bath to relax his body before going to bed completely; it was too late and he had to go to school earlier the next morning.
15 minutes later…
Staring at the ceiling of his bedroom, the pink-haired boy felt his eyes growing heavy with each second, the dim light from outside alluring him to dreamland before he could noticed it and before he could notice his cellphone vibrating on the nightstand with a message alert on it, the preview of it showing something that might have stop his calmness.
*Bip!*
Hey, you won't mind if I…
Ask her something, right?
From: Jellal
To: Natsu

To be continued
Update.
Still not talkative but I got some words about this chapter.
It was short, it was kind of rushed, maybe, I don't know, and the end is actually...! xD
Cliffhanger, yeah, not going to tell yet; you'll have to wait. Hahaha!
Enjoy!
Saludos.
