The Colour of Her Eyes
Chapter 5: White
HE OPENED HIS EYES and saw light.
It was blinding. At least, for someone who had just woken up.
Natsu rubbed his eyes wearily, then looked at the peacefully sleeping person on the bed.
Her blonde hair was swept around her head like a golden halo, her eyes were calm and shut, and her features were smooth and worry-free.
The light from the windows gave her the semblance of an angel, washing over her body with every ounce of brightness it had.
"She isn't awake yet, huh…" he muttered, positioning himself comfortably in the chair he was sitting on.
Lucy…
He had never really meant to kill that man, but… he had seen red the moment he impaled his nakama in the chest with those cold, uncaring eyes.
And before he knew it, the man was lying on a puddle of his own blood, the life disappearing from his eyes.
But Natsu didn't care about him at that moment.
Because all he had seen was Lucy.
And her blood.
Shit…
The blood…
It was awful.
Seeing her almost die like that nearly made his nerves explode. She had always been his close friend, his partner, and…
His eyes widened.
…his love.
"Mmm…?"
Natsu jolted, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets when he saw Lucy's eyes open.
"Lucy!" He immediately went over to her side.
She looked at him, and at that moment, her eyes stared right into his soul.
Those brown eyes which looked white in the light.
She looks like an angel.
"Natsu…?" Her voice was a whisper.
He smiled at her, relief washing over him like a tide. "How do you feel?" he asked softly.
She smiled back, albeit weakly. "I feel a little dizzy…"
"Must be from all the blood you lost."
She averted her gaze. "Yeah, I guess…" she agreed quietly.
His eyes narrowed slightly. Look at me in the eyes. "I'm glad you're all right," he told her. "Just please…" He stood up, noting the surprise in her expression. "…don't scare me like that again."
"Natsu…"
"I mean it." He started towards the door, the explosion of emotions inside him proving too much for him to handle. "I'll go get Wendy and Porlyusica to take a look at you."
"Wait! I—"
"Just rest." He turned towards her with the childish grin he had always used seven years ago. "And thank you for saving me. Next time, I'll make sure I'll save you, too."
She stared at his retreating back, starstruck.
A/N: Eh. I guess Natsu's OOC because he's all grown up now… *sobs* Oh well.
