Wendy POV
I was playing with our two cats, Happy and Carla when big brother came in through the back down.
"Natsu! Mommy said not sneaking in! She'll think you are a robber!" I scolded him. He may be the older one, but if anything, I'm the more mature.
He's always playing a prank on someone, or making a mess. In fact I don't think he's ever gotten any high than a C in his grades. Unlike me who never fools around, never makes messes, and most importantly, NEVER EVER had anything lower that a A- in my grades!
He ignored me and picked up Happy.
"What's wrong Natsu?" I asked. He looked so closed up. He always tells me everything.
He went up the stairs to his room and closed the door. I picked up Carla and followed him.
"Natsu? Are you ok?" I asked knocking on his door lightly.
"Leave me alone sis!" He shouted in a tone he never used with me. He only used that tone to Gray.
I pondered the different possibilities of what could be the cause, but nothing came to mind. Maybe a feud with Gray? Did Erza beat him up? Something happened and I am bound to find out. I turned on my heels and back down to the living room and sat on the couch.
"Carla, what do you think happened?" I asked her. She gazed up at me with strong, smart eyes...if only I could speak cat...
I know she knows the answer, but how can I solve it? No matter how annoying he is, I still love him and I'll take care of my big brother.
Natsu POV
I can't believe I broke! How am I supposed to cover that up?! Lucy now knows every stinking secret I've tried to hide ever since she moved to town 5 years ago. I'm not talking to Wendy! She doesn't need to know what's going on. I rubbed Happy's head as he slept on my pillow. Lazy cat...I only got him because he was dyed blue...
Anyway, I closed all the window blinds, and locked my door hoping my mom wouldn't come to get me. Wendy better leave me alone too...I'd rather be alone right now.
Well except Happy, he is here so I don't get lonely...I have abandonment issues...
It isn't my fault my dad disappeared a few years ago...
Maybe if I get some sleep it will be better...hopefully...
Lucy POV
I was out of breath, but I still followed him. He is one fast kid. I made it to the house I saw him enter, through the back...
I hope this is his house. I knocked on the door and hoped for a friendly answer. I was relieved to see a small girl with blue hair open the door.
"Oh, hello there." she said in a timid but sweet voice.
"Hi there...I don't know if you know me or not but I'm Lucy. I know Natsu." I said as clearly as I could while trying to get some air.
"Really? That Lucy? The one he always is talking about?" right after she said it, she clamped her hand over her mouth, "Oh no! I promised Natsu I wouldn't tell! Especially to you!"
"Oh it's ok...I just need to talk to him, please."
"Umm...he's in his room. I don't know what happened, but he seemed real shy about it. Must be bad, or something." Wendy said relaxing her shoulders.
I blushed a bit...it was probably because of what he told me, "Well could I possibly try to get him to talk?" I asked.
She nodded, "Sure, hopefully you get good results." she let me in and took me up to his room.
She said if I needed her, she would be downstairs. She left and I quietly knocked on the door.
"Who's there? I know it isn't Wendy and Mom's not home yet." he said in an alert tone.
I bit my lip, "Uh...N-Natsu, it's me...Lucy. I need to talk with you." I said.
I could feel the air around us get quiet and awkward because he said nothing. Then the door opened only enough for him to peek out.
"Get outa here. I don't want to talk." he said with a frown.
"But I do, plus why did you come to open the door to say that instead of just yelling that to me?" I asked.
"Because..."
"Because you want to talk but don't know what to say." I corrected.
He stared at me before grabbing my wrist and pulling me into his room. He slammed the door behind me.
"Ok fine then, but not out there." he said locking it again.
I rubbed my wrist, he had a strong grip.
"Anyway, don't just leave after you say something so big as you love me." I said boldly.
He covered his ears, "Gah! Don't say it out loud! I've been trying to force it down for years! Don't let it resurface!"
I rolled my eyes. I shouted loudly, "Natsu like's me! Natsu likes Lucy!"
"Stop it!" he said and covered my mouth, "Don't make the situation worse! If you forget about it, it can just disappear like it never happened."
I struggled to talk, but he had a firmed grip over my mouth. I did my best and pushed him away long enough to say, "Don't hide the feeling. Talk to me about it."
He tried to shush me, but I will not be hushed, "Seriously, come on, no one is judging you. Tell me!" I said.
He groaned, "Ok then, but then leave."
I nodded, "So, when did this start?"
He bit his lip, "Uh, I don't know...ever since you moved here, maybe?"
I was surprised. Someone could hold back there feelings for that long?
"Really? Why?" I asked.
"Does that matter?"
"Yes, very much. Now tell me."
"Nah, I'd rather not. Well thanks for stopping by, now it's time to leave! Bye!" he said and started to push me to the door.
"Wait! I want answers! Now! By the way, why do you work for 'Queen Bee'? Who is that? Why did you get tangled into that in the first place?" I asked.
"Not right now, maybe some other time, maybe in a few years...giver take a century or so? Then we can all be dead and I don't need to say a word." he said with a smile, "Now good bye!" he slammed the door in my face.
I stuck my tongue out at him. Jerk face! But then again he was a jerk face who had a crush on me for about 5 years...
I walked down the stairs, "Thanks Wendy! I better go now."
"Ok then Lucy. See you later!" Wendy said as I closed the door.
I quickly made my way home and to my room. I had many things to think about.
So there! Sorry it is so late! But now you can read more! Thanks everyone who reads this story, :D
