Chapter 3
Remembering Things
Natsu P.O.V
Lucy jumps onto the verge at the side of the river and I can't help but grin. She always does that; ignoring the calls from the boats for her to be careful. Her arms hover slightly at her sides and she smiles, skipping a long. I follow just behind, watching her every movement.
"Be careful," I say, though I'm smiling. It's like being bac to normal.
"I will," she laughs. "I don't know why, but this feels normal." Then she freezes and looks at me, before hopping down.
"What? What happened?" I ask, looking at her.
"It feel's normal because it is normal," she murmurs. "I remember doing this. Every day on the way home. With-with-with someone, or something, I think."
"Yeah, Plue," I say, smiling now. "One of your Celestial Spirits. He's a dog...I think anyway."
"Plue," she muses, brushing a hand over her keys. "White and small, with a cone nose, right?" I nod and she beams.
"I remember him. I remember this path," she laughs, jumping back onto the verge. "I'm going to get through this, I know I am."
"Yeah, you are Lucy," I say, walking with her. "And I'll help, I hope."
We walk in silence again, my hand reasting behind my head. Lucy smiles, her brown eyes shining, and I watch her walk, skipping slightly. When we reach her apartment, I have to reach up and stop her, as she keeps walking foward.
"This is where you live, Luce," I say, taking her keys from my pocket. I took them from her when she was asleep. I hope she won't mind.
I ublock the door and lead her in, letting it shut behind us. We walk into the main room and she stares about, eyes wide. I watch as she walks around, fingers gliding over her bed posts, her desk, her kitchen table. She frowns slightly, looking at the stack of papers on her desk that must be her book.
"I-I remember this place," she whispers, suddenly sitting on the bed. I sit beside her, tucking my legs under me. "This room, the furniture and something else. Something I'm not getting yet. I think it's a person, maybe."
"Don't try to hard, you might hurt yourself," I say, smiling. She nods and flops back. staring at the roof. I stare down at her, smiling. "Look at you, already remembering so much."
"I know, but I feel like I should be getting more," she grumbles, looking at me. I smile down at her and take her hand.
"Try not to think about it too much," I say, getting up and letting go of her hand. "I'll get you a drink, just like the old hag ordered."
I listen to Lucy giggle as I make my way to her kitchen, searching the cupboards. I pull out a tea bag and the sugar, grabbing a mug from the side board. I fill the kettle with water and switch it on, dropping the tea gabd and two sugars into the mug.
"How do you know you way around so well?" Lucy asks, coming over to sit at the table. I chuckle and sreach the cupbaords for the biscuits I know she hid from me. I pull them out and sit them in front of her, taking on myself.
"Let's just say I'm hear a lot," I laugh, biting into the biscuit. "I practically live here."
"Oh," is all she says, her face going blank. I stare at her in worry when she doesn't move.
"Luce? You okay?" I ask, bending to look her in the eye. She gasps and jerks back.
"Oh my goodness!" she yelps, turning to glare at me. "I remember you! You sneak into my house, sleep in my bed and eat my food. And I-" She clamps her hands over mer mouth and her faces goes red.
I chuckle and scratch the back of my neck, face pink. "Yeah, I guess I do, but you never seem to bothered. And what where you about to say?"
"Nothing, it doesn't matter," she yelps. I stare are her, shocked, before grinning.
"Weirdo, just like always," I say. "But wait, you remember me?" She nods and I laughs, running over and grabbing her, spinning us both around.
"Natsuuu!" she yells, though she's laughing. "Put me down!"
"Nope!" I shout back, still spinning. When I stop, we're out of breathe and Lucy leans into me, clutching my scarf.
"Baka," she mutters, sighing. "You really are weird, aren't you?"
"Nah, I think you're weirder," I say, wrapping my arms more securly around her small frame.
We stand like that for who knoew how long, before Lucy pulls away, her face red. She mumbles somehting about the bathroom and walk away, shutting the door behind her. Well at least she knows where that is. I walk over and flop down onto her bed, covering my face with one arm. My other hand clutches the bed and I groan. What was going on? My heart is beating so fast I'm scared it might take off and I can't breathe right.
I listen to Lucy humming in thr bathroom and smile. Her voice is soft and slowly I begin to drift off. The last thing I see is the forgotten cup of tea on the kitchen table.
Lucy P.O.V
I hum softly to myself, staring at my reflection in the mirror. Blonde hair, chocolate brown eyes, pink lips and pale skin. The same person I have always been, yet I don't feel the same. I've changed and I don't even remember it. I lean against the sink and take a deep breathe.
In the other room, I can hear Natsu breathing, slowly anf loudly. He must be asleep. I push away from the sink and slip out of the bathroom, walking over to come to a halt beside the Dragin Slayer. He's curled up at the far side of my bed, her face relxed. I smile at him. He's cute when he's like this. Wait, what? No, no, no. I push that though away and walk over to where I think I remember my pyjamma's beging. Sure enough, a pair of cut-off and a shirt lie in a heap. I quickly change, my eyes on Natsu just in sace her wakes up.
When I'm done I slip into bed, pulling the covers around me. I would share with him just this once. After all, according to my memory, I was in love with him.
And there we go :) Like I said this will be a side story to my main one, but right now that's on hold cause I can't seem to write it :)
Anyway, thank you and please R&R :)
