"Second Chance"
It was already morning when Gray closed the front door and made his way out from the gate, planning to prepare for his Date. Passing by some flower shop, the middle aged Father brought his Wife's favorite flowers. Telling the old man he will retrieve it later. Skitting his way to the movie ticketing area, plastering a broad smile on his face, making the passer by to laugh and raise their brows to the dancing man.
A pink haired woman was then awake from her bed after hearing the front door closed, standing up from her queen sized bed, stretching her body to drive the sleepiness away. Natsu moved her feet, walking towards her sons' bedroom. Only to find him, coloring pictures on his ground.
The lad saw his Mommy and Greeted her with a smile, giving morning kisses on her checks as he showed her their family picture with their stick body. The woman laughed from his drawings and took it on her hands, making her way to her kitchen with her son on her hands.
Breakfast was already done, when the raven haired stranger came back. Still wearing a goofy smile, he greeted his pink haired wife and his raven haired son. Seeing his Father, made the boy jump from his feet, landing on the ground with his Father as his cushion. "Play with me" was the toddlers' order to his Father, tickling him on his sides, making him release loud smiling laughter from his mouth.
The Family had then left their house after they had their Lunch. Yuki wearing his bag on his back, holding his Mother's hand on his right and his Father holding his hand on his left. The toddler was walking his way with joy towards his aunt's house, while telling the passer by that his Father is back. But the Mother would softly whisper to their ears that he is not. Making the man on the other side, feel a pinch on his heart.
Knocking in front of the blond haired woman's house, only to be greeted with her wide toothy smile and her four years old Son behind her leg. The two toddlers immediately left the adults and played on their own inside. Lucy nodded her head in response to the pink haired woman's favor, and gave out a tease after the couple had left.
Natsu felt her checks to heat, after glancing at the man's handsome face with a smile printed on his face. Remembering her dead husband and now facing another person that has the same face as her man, made her feel sad and happy at the same time. But still hated the man beside her, after he insisted that he is her husband.
The couple made their way to a theater mansion and the man showed the ticket inspector their already bought tickets. Natsu was about to pick her wallet from her bag, pressing that she will pay her share. But the man refused, "No guys allowed their woman to pay on their date. Although some are fine with it, but I am not" was his words which made her stilled.
"No guys allowed their woman to pay on their date. Although some are fine with it, but I am not" are the words that kept entering her ears, remembering her first date with her husband with those exact same words her lover had told her when they went to have their lunch alone.
Gray brought some snacks from the food stall and made his way back to the pink haired woman, who was waiting for him inside. Handing her, her share of drink, the lass placed it on her hands. Letting out a 'Thank you' to the man as she sipped from her cup.
The movie then ended and the couple went to their next destination. It took the Movie two hours for them to watch, and her stomach started to grumble for snacks. Gray let out a chuckle and offered his hand to her, leading her to a Dessert shop that sells 'Dessert Buffet'.
Standing in front, the lass made her way inside while dragging the man by his hand. The two sat on a vacant table and Natsu immediately stood up from her chair, picking out some delicious deserts to fill her stomach. Making her way back to her table with her plate, filled with different kinds of dessert.
"You sure love those a lot" the man commented to her, not amaze with the amount of bizarre sweets on her plate. "Be sure to drink a lot of water and no drinks for you" The man ended standing up, earning a pout from the lady on her chair.
There again, the words her husband had used to tell her when she ate a lot of sweets "Be sure to drink a lot of water and not my fault if you will have a mouth cavity" Her husband used to say, whenever the fourteenth of march will come.
Her thoughts was disrupted, when the man came back with a cupcakes and biscuits on his plate.
"Is that all your going to eat? Such a waste" her words entered his ears, as she devoured another sliced cake to her mouth. The man only felt his sweat to drop after seeing his wife, filling her mouth with desserts that she ate with delight.
Gray then called and paid for his bill with the money that he earned. Before his first death, the man hid a great amount of money from his savings that not even Natsu knew he kept. Standing from his seat, pulling Natsu's chair under her legs.
The couple were about to leave when Natsu decided to buy gifts for her son and Lucy. Making her way to the gift shop, the Lady decided to buy them muffins instead. Natsu was about to pay, handing her money to the cashier. But the staff only gave her money back. The pink haired lady was perplexed before the man by her side had told her that he already pain. The woman nodded her head and gave her thanks to the man, but insisted to repay the money back which he immediately refused.
"Come on Take it"
"No, it's okay. We're on a date, remember?"
"I know, just take it"
"and I said. It's okay"
"I said to take it, you stubborn pervert"
The man felt his anger rise and retorted back to the lady in front, "and I sad it's okay, Match stick"
Natsu then raised one of her eyebrows in a pissed off way, "are you trying to pick a fight in here? You Ice maniac?"
"I am not, Tabasco demon"
"Droopy eyes"
"Slanted eyes"
"dark haired"
"Strawberry haired. Wait, bickering with our body features doesn't make sense" the raven haired man added, as the pink haired woman stilled and started to giggle.
"I guess your right."
The couple then left the building with their bought items in their hands. Leaving the staffs happy that the couple didn't had a fight inside their establishment, and cause a ruckus.
It was already four in the afternoon, when Natsu was left inside the park. Waiting for the raven haired man to come back. Looking at her watch, to notice that almost half an hour had passed, leaving out a frustrated sigh for being left alone in the park.
The pink haired woman was then only presented with red carnation that it almost reaches her nose. The woman took the flower and placed it on her arms, giving a thanks to the man in front.
"Did you know?" was her question that left her mouth. Natsu was still a graduating High school student when her lover had gave her red roses, but then she enlightened him with her favorite flowers. "But I would like it even more if it was red carnations".
"I had already known, since ten years ago" He muttered to himself.
"Did Yuki told you?"
The man only nodded his head in response, standing up from the chair and decided to head home for the day.
"Seriously, Yuki is too close with you when I even had told him that you're not his Father. Does he really like you that much? That he wants to me to accept you so he can have you as his Father?" Natsu let out a sigh, taking the paper bag from the man's hands.
"And you too, even though you're not Gray. You really act like Gray, you even said things that Gray would definitely tell me and almost act like him" she added to her mutter, earning a silent man. Screaming his inner self that he is 'Gray Fullbuster, her husband'.
"Well, as what yuki had told. Maybe I really am your husband that came back to life" he added, earning a laugh from the woman.
The woman let out a sigh, "If only you were and everything would be much greater than it is" the woman muttered to herself. Not realizing that her heart had started to open its doors to the man beside her.
The man shook his head and asked what she had said, making those words gone unheard.
The couple had finally arrive Lucy's home, ringing the door bell from the door. The door soon opened and was then greeted by their raven haired son. Yuki immediately run to his Mother, giving her kisses on her checks. The toddler then stretched his arms to his Father, asking to be carried. Which he then complied, earning a kiss on his checks.
Natsu then handed the paper bag of souvenirs to her friend, as a thank for looking out for her child. Bidding farewell to the blond heads at the door. The family then left their house and head to their home.
Upon arriving a man was standing in front of their house, with roses on his hands. Seeing his object of visit, the blond haired man, immediately embraced the surprised woman. The woman was shocked on seeing her friend that she had meet from her previous job.
Opening the front door and welcomed him inside, followed by the toddler and the raven haired man whose face was then turned into a grimace.
The adults sat down at the sofa, while the toddler had watch television sitting on the ground.
Natsu then introduced the two lads and shook their hands. The two immediately knew that they will never get along. The man then let go of his hands and handed her the roses that he bought. Noticing the carnation from her hands, he took it away and placed it on the table. Replacing her palm with the bouquet of roses. Natsu raised one of her brows, but just took the flowers given and put it in a vase, while she took the carnation and went to her room.
The two men was then left alone, talking with each other, trying to get at each others throat.
"Who are you, trying to look like her husband" The blond haired man asked with a scowl on his face.
"I am her husband"
"Heh, sorry to tell you. But I don't believe that obvious lie. Her husband died five years ago and I bet you went on a plastic surgery and change your face to Gray's face"
"and I am telling you I am him"
"and I am telling you that all I hear is an OBVIOUS lie"
The two men were about to bicker, when the child stood and delivered to the blond haired man that the stranger is his Father.
"Yuki, your Mother will be sad if you fell on the hands of this evil man. He might have a plan to kidnapped you and do harmful things to your Mother" Sting warned, reaching his hand to the lad, only to be slap it away from the toddler.
"I hate you. I don't want my Mommy to be with you" the toddler declared to the man in front.
Sting caught his throat and started to laugh from the child's words, "But Yuki, your Mother decides everything and not you. You're only a child that doesn't know anything, so all you need to do is obey my words. Because I will be you father soon, you don't want to be hurt, right? And you don't want your Mommy to be hurt, right?" the blond haired man ended with a threat.
With those words the raven haired man stood up from his chair and punched the man to his checks. The blond haired man felt pain as he stood up and started to punch the man back to his face. Gray had his face to his side, when the fist came contact with his checks. Regaining his foot, he dodge the other coming fist and slammed his right fist to his stomach, earning a hurl from the blond man.
Yuki then run away from the fighting adults and screaming with tears on his eyes. Natsu then came running from the ruckus, only to find two men fighting inside her house, making a mess in her living room. Natsu then went inside the fight and punched their stomach with her fists, stopping their punches mid air.
Yuki made a run to his Mother and was then hugged, crying his lungs out after witnessing an adult's fight in front of him.
Natsu then faced the two and asked what happened only to hear them fighting with words again. Pissed, the woman decided to throw them out of her house. Telling them to never come back. Sting went away with bruises to his face and was then greeted with worry from a black haired lady, Her eyes are filled with tears with worry as the man allowed her to wipe her wounds.
Gray kicked a stone away from him, anger at the man being taken care of. "He has her, but pinned himself on Natsu when she is taken. What an Idiot." he muttered to himself, walking his way towards a friends house to sleep.
It was already raining when Gray had asked Lucy to let him stay for the night. The blond woman immediately opened her door wide, to welcome him inside. Worried about what happened and why he was wet, she asked the man with a towel on her hands for him to use.
"Natsu threw me out"
Intrigued and amaze how her friend can do that, she asked again. Only to be told that a man who called himself Sting Eucliffe had welcomed himself to their house and picked a fight with him, or more like he did and was then thrown by his wife out from the house.
Lucy felt pity to his situation and allowed her childhood friend to stay at her house. The man was then guided to the guest room and left for him to rest his covered cleaned wounds.
o0o0o0o
A crying child was settled on her arms, trying to ask for his Daddy to come. But her Mother only shook her head and told him a white lie.
"Hush, hush. That man is not your Daddy, Yuki. Please stop crying. That man is just a kind, friendly, funny man who we meet weeks ago" are her words that even made her son cry in agony.
"No, He is Daddy, and I want him back" the child insisted, facing his Mother with faces covered with tears and sweats. "Mommy, please ask Daddy to come back" her child pleaded, but the woman didn't listen to his words.
"No Yuki, This is enough with your selfishness, that man is not your Daddy and you should know that. Your Father already died five years ago. I know it hurts, but I feel hurt too, please Yuki." Natsu rebuked her child with the truth that her child had never lad cried even louder and walked out from his Mother's lap, running his way to his room locking himself inside.
"I hate you" were the lads departing words entering his Mother's ear, who turned stilled and shivered.
Their supper was already prepared when Gray was woken up by one of Lucy's child. Knocking on the door, telling him that they should eat now. It took a minute for Gray to stand up from his bed, he was lying on his bed but only his mind was awake and his body asleep. Walking his way to the door, he opened and let himself out, closing the wooden door with a soft push.
Lucy and her son was already sitting at the dining chair together with her One year old toddler who was settled on her baby chair, slapping her table and moaning as if trying to speak. Looking around, noticing the presence of her husband not around.
"He'll be off at nine from work." was her response, as Gray was sitting at the other chair in front of her. Talking about their past when they were young, made Gray remember his first meeting with his wife.
Her pink cherry hair was floating from the air. Her eyes are round and shining black, that made you feel bewitched whenever her eyes stares at you. Her skin was like being kissed by a sun, enticing and alluring. Her body was perfect, for her to fit in his arms was perfect for him, that he was the first one to confess after months of falling in love with her.
It was then during that day. That the girl he had fell in love with was also bearing the same feelings inside her heart when they first met, and that was how they started dating after earning a big 'Of course, I'll date you Ice bastard' response that left her mouth, with her checks flushing red breaking into fits of laughter.
On their third year after they had started their relationship, another woman came to their life. A blue haired lass, who immediately fell in love with him. Always displaying her love towards him, even if his Lover was around. Her pink haired lover was tolerant at first, but days after days her lover has been kept harassed by the blue haired lass and decided to put a stop, by kissing her man in front of her.
But her plan was halted, after witnessing the kiss of her lover with the blue haired lass. Feeling betrayed and disappointed, feeling her heart being pinned with a needle that didn't exist in her heart. Her stomach felt cold, her body didn't move. Tears started to gather in her eyes, her mouth started to tremble with anger. That was until then her man had pushed the lass harshly away from him.
Gray was surprised seeing his lover a few steps away from them. Walking towards her, but her lover had already made her way to him. Slapping the blue haired lass with force, and another punch to her raven haired man on his stomach after walking away from them, trying to hold her tears that she failed to stop.
A week later had passed by then, and Natsu had still continued to ignore her lover. A day after that incident,the blue haired lass asked forgiveness to the lass. But Natsu heard nothing of it as her heart was still filled with pain.
Almost a month will pass, if Gray won't make his move. Planning a way his lover will talk to him again, the lad went to her house, leaving a single rose at her doorstep. The lass was surprised after seeing a rose in front of their house, picking it up and making her way to her school.
Confused and surprised, her classmates and friends would come to her and greeted her with morning greetings after handing her a single rose. This process continued as the lass was now carrying twenty three red roses on her hands, as she continued to make her way to her school. Her thoughts already got the source of this surprise. Painting a small smirk on her checks, the lass continued on her way.
Her friend Lucy was the last one for them to hand a single rose, together with a written note. A handwritten from her lover had told her, that he was waiting at the roof top. Now smiling with pleasure, Natsu had left her bag to the blond. Moving her feet towards the stairs, with the roses still on her hands.
The door to the roof top was then opened and in came her view, was her lover kneeling in front of her with a single rose in his hands.
"Please forgive me Natsu"
The pink haired lass made her way to her lover, grabbing the rose from his hands and bundling it with the other roses. "Why should I?" were her questions to the man, who fell silent. "You didn't do anything bad. She did without knowing that you are taken" with those words, she let got of her flowers, grabbing the man by his collar, giving him a full kiss on his lips.
The man was surprised and elated. Placing his arms around her, repaying the sweet kiss that he had consumed. The couple continued to suck their lips, pressing them together. Releasing their bruised lips, they went to a corner and sat.
"Love you Gray" were the lass words, giving a chaste kiss on his checks.
The man was then confused why he was ignored, only to find that her heart couldn't bare the pain seeing him being kissed by another woman. Since then, whenever she sees him, her mind would always remember that day and would try to avoid him, so as to avoid the pain attached.
"Did you like the flowers?" The man had asked her, who in turn nodded her head.
"But I would like it even more if it was a red carnation, instead" were her response, smelling the roses on her hands, noticing that it was scented with nice soothing smell.
"Red Carnation. I see" the raven haired lad smiled, giving another kiss to her checks. "I love you very much Natsu"
The raven haired man was now lying on his bed, after hours of talking with Lucy about his Natsu when they first met and started dating. It was then, the man had decided to knock her doors again.
