"Second Chance"
Natsu was sleeping on her bed, tired after taking care of her savior for weeks already. Her son refusing to let got of his Father and had stayed at the hospital with Lucy to take care of the raven haired man. Lying on her bed, tossing and being dragged to fall into a deep sleep.
A sound from her alarm had woken her up. Standing from her bed, only to be greeted by her Father who opened her door.
"Natsu hurry up or you'll be late for your first day" Her red haired father had warned her, closing her door with a yawn that left his mouth. A blue furred cat had then entered her room, mewing his way towards his human friend.
"Morning Happy" was her greeting to the cat, already wearing her uniform with the cat now on her arms. Happy gave a lick to her checks with his rough tongue. Placing his paws on her shoulder. Natsu let out a laugh, telling him his tongue feels rough, but allowed him to do what he wants.
Making her way down and ate her breakfast. After she was done, she had left giving a kiss to her Father's checks. "See you later Igneel".
Walking the side-walk, passing by a park. That was when she saw a raven haired man standing in front of her. Feeling his dark blue eyes gaze on her. The lad was about to talk to her, when a red-haired woman had dragged him with her. Telling him, they will be late for class.
Natsu let out a sigh and hurried her way to her new school.
The first bell had then rung and Natsu was then introduced to her class. Sparing a glance to all her classmates, the raven haired man and the red-haired woman she saw this morning were sitting beside each other.
"Morning Class, we have a transfer student today. She came from Clover town with her Father. Because of work, her Father was then transferred here in Magnolia. Please Guide her and treat her well. Come one Ms. Dragneel, introduce yourself"
Natsu nodded her head spoke to her classmates. "Morning, My name is Natsu Dragneel and I have a cat named Happy. As what the teacher told you. My father got transferred. Hope we will get along and rowdy. Same with you teacher, I tend to get in trouble a lot. So I hope we will get along too" the pink haired lass sounded with a loud voice and smiled to her friends, earning a clap and greetings from her new classmates.
"Sure, but I hope. You won't make me stressful as I already am with these students here."
"Yes sir" the lass saluted with a smile to her teacher, waiting for him to tell her where she will seat.
"Your seat will be. Is Gray here?" The man called out, only to find the raven haired boy had gazed his eyes to the lady who just came in. A kick from his friend pulled him out and stood up from his seat.
"Oh, your here. I thought you're sleeping. Natsu, you will be seating beside that man over there. There is a vacant seat on his side, and feel free to ask him question if you need something."
"Yes sir" The lass nodded as she made her way to her chair. Their eyes had caught each other, staring until she sat down. With a cough from a red-haired classmate. Natsu introduced herself again, receiving their names in return.
"Gray Fullbuster" had then kept ringing on her mind as she sat at the top of the rooftop. It was already lunch time and Natsu wanted to see the town above. Slurring the lads name on her tongue again and again. Which then she earned a reply from the lad. Sitting up from where she lied down, with her checks flushing red.
In front of her was the man that she found attractive that made her unable to take her eyes off him.
The two started to talk, wanting to know the other. When a topic suddenly made them to start bickering and call each others names. That was how it took them longer to date each other. Feeling shy and they tend to bicker here and there.
It was already a year after they had met, and the two are still classmates. A blond-haired girl was then introduced to her and thought they were an item, feeling depressed and sad. Thinking she didn't have a chance with him, when she finally had realized her feelings to him. But a week had then passed, when she was told that Lucy was already dating someone and they are just childhood friends since birth. A goofy smile was then plastered on her face, as she was thinking how an idiot she was for acting like that towards them.
They were about to turn third years when Gray had asked to talk to her in a secluded area inside the school. Thinking the lad wants to fight, she nodded her head. Only to be faced with his confessions with his face red as her father's hair.
Natsu felt her checks heat as she softly said 'yes'. The raven haired man didn't hear and in turn, Natsu shouted back to him. Telling him she wants to be his Lover, some passerby heard her confession to the lad and that was when the new couple were teased by their crazy classmates.
They were already third year students and a couple, when a new student had transferred to her Lover's class. Unfortunately for them. The couple got separated by class, she ended with her being classmates with Lucy and Erza with Gray. The transferred student introduced herself as 'Juvia Lockser', who immediately fall in love with her raven haired Lover.
The man had then started to reject her confessions, but the lass thought he was playing 'Hard to get'. But that's where she was wrong. Months had then passed, and she continued to flirt with Gray. Sometimes her mind would wonder why Natsu and Gray would always be together after class. But the thought of the two dating never crossed her mind, as she was never told about him being taken by a crazy pink haired student and that they always start a fight or bicker a lot.
It was then the Juvia had forced herself to Gray, and forced a kissed to his lips, where she got the chance and a taste. Seconds passed, when Gray had pushed her away, and a pink haired woman with tears in her eyes came to her view.
The pink haired lass walked her way towards her, and slapped her checks that was then left bruised. Another hurl was then heard from the raven haired man, as he was punched on his stomach.
Arriving at her house with a loud bang on their door, made her Father and cat surprised. Walking up the stairs and opening his daughter's room, to find it in a mess and her lying on her bed lifeless. Igneel went inside, followed by their blue furred cat. Placing his palm on her head, looking for answers with her behavior. His pink haired daughter only peaked from her messy hair and laid her head to his Father's lap. The lass started to mutter to herself, filling in his Father for what really happened.
It was in the next day, when Natsu had started to ignore her lover. Asking favors to her friends when she need to talk to her lover.
Crying in silent and pain had covered her heart. Just seeing his face made her remember the kiss. She knew the man didn't like that to happen, but to her a kiss is still a kiss and that kiss was given by another girl and not hers.
A week had then passed, when Natsu made her way out from her house. Only to be greeted with a red rose lying on her door step, picking it up and bidding farewell to her Father, she made her way to her school with the rose on her hand.
One of her classmate had greeted her and handed her a rose. Confused and happy, the lass took the flower. Her friend Lisanna then came and gave her another, giving her a morning hug for the day. The white haired older sister followed and handed her another.
"What's this? I've received lots of roses" But no one had responded and only gave her a wide smile.
Two blocks away from her school, one of her lover's friend came and handed her a flower, "Good Morning Natsu. This one is for you" the orange haired man handed her a red rose. Smiling as she took it with her response, "Is this Gray's plan?".
The man only laughed and raised his eyebrows repeatedly as he left with his other friends. Passing by a bakery shop, only to be greeted by a blue haired first year with a rose on her hand. "Good Morning Natsu. Take this" Wendy spoke to her, as she left in hurry with a wave from her hand.
The process continued as some random classmates of hers would pass and some strangers she didn't know, but knows they are Gray's friend. Now on her hand are twenty red roses, her checks had started to flush red for feeling the stares of the students that had passed her by.
A blue haired girl had then came and faced her with her eyes on the ground. "I am really sorry Natsu. I didn't know you were Dating Gray. I really regret what I did. Hope you'll forgive me" Juvia explained herself, bowing her head, to point that she really is regretting her actions.
Natsu released a sigh. After the kiss happened, Natsu knew her lover didn't liked it. She knew that the woman in front of her is not the type of woman who will steal someone else lover. Ever since Juvia had transferred to their school and in Gray's class. She knew the lass was a friendly woman. But there were times when she would feel irritated and annoyed by the lass. That was when Juvia would show her affections to Gray in public.
A smile was then placed on her face as she faced the woman. Telling it was fine and the fault was theirs for not stating it to her, about their relationship. A red rose was then handed to her as the blue haired woman had left. Now on her hand are roses with a count of twenty-one.
Passing by a road and entering the school gate, her red-haired friend came and gave her two red roses with a blue haired teenager by her side. Jellal and the red haired lass had then left after handing her paper to cover the rose's stems. She made her way to the building, now certain it was her lover had planned this surprise. A familiar voice had then called out to her, making her halt her steps inside.
Handing her another rose, with a letter attached on its stem. A smile had then crept to her lips as she read the note with her eyes, "Please meet me at the rooftop, I bought you tickets for dinner buffet. I'll be waiting even if classes will end. - Gray" Were words that was written on the paper, which made her giggle with laughter. Now smiling with pleasure, Natsu had left her bag to the blond. Moving her feet towards the stairs, with red roses still on her hands.
Opening the door with excitement, only to find her man, kneeling in front of the door with a single rose on his hand
"Please forgive me Natsu"
Her smile grew wider as she made her way to him, grabbing the rose and bundling it with the others. "Why should I?" were her questions to the man, who fell silent. "You didn't do anything bad. She did that without knowing that you are taken" with those words, she let got of her flowers, grabbing the man by his collar, pressing her lips with his.
Gray was surprised and elated. Smiling from the kiss, he placed his arms around her. Kissing her back, and closing his eyes, consuming the sweet kiss they are sharing. The couple continued to suck their lips, pressing them together. With a last peck, the couple stared at each others eyes, taking their lips away from the other. With a chuckle the couple went to a corner and sat.
"Love you Gray" were her words to her man, giving a chaste kiss on his checks.
The two started to talk softly like a whisper only for them to hear. Gray was then told for her reason why he was being avoided. With a smile, he placed his arm around her whispering his feelings back to her.
"Did you like the flowers?" The man had asked her curiously, earning a nod from 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" Gray had whispered again.
"So where's my Buffet ticket?" the pink haired lass then asked, opening her palms to her man. Making the raven haired man to laugh.
o0o0o0o
Years had then passed and the two were still together like a glue. A day then came when Gray had finally asked her to marry him. Kneeling in front of her with a jewelry box on his hands being presented to her. He then asked her the question, as he earned her response with eagerness. Nodding her head again and again while shouting 'Yes' to his ears.
Thinking he's taking his time putting her ring on her ring finger. Natsu took her engagement ring with delight and attempted to put it on her own. But Gray had took it, with his brows raised. His soon to be wife let out a giggle as she had placed her hand towards him. The young man had then slipped the ring to her ring finger, smiling towards her as his lover was walking around, showing and telling them the news.
Natsu's and Gray's wedding was then held after months of preparation. It was held in a small chapel, only with their family and close friends by their side. Cheers of greetings and congratulatory words had then passed through the halls, wedding bells had then started to sing, as the mass had ended.
On their first night as husband and wife, the two spend it to themselves. They were then blessed with a child, growing in the pink haired woman's tummy.
Almost Nine months had passed, as she had started to ovulate and was now giving birth. Pushing with her might, holding Lucy's hand, since Gray was working on his establishment when her water bag broke. The pink haired lady was already awake, when her husband had finally came from work. The young Father immediately made his way to his wife, who was lying on her bed, sitting at the chair beside the bed. His eyes are filled with excitement to carry his first son, looking around the room asking for his toddler. The pink haired lady started to feel her throat to vibrate, answering the question that left her husbands' mouth.
Soon, a knock from the door surprised the couple. A nurse came inside and handed her the baby to the young Mothers' hands.
Natsu took her child carefully, looking at her child's tiny body with a thin layer of dark hair just like his Father. The pink haired was then startled with happiness, seeing how the toddler had looked just like her when she was a baby.
"Look, look Gray. He looks just like me, but his mouth is the same shape as yours" she spoke to her husband, turning her head to find no one beside her.
"Gray, where are you?" The woman had asked confused as to where her husband is.
"I'm here" was his response as the pink haired lass, started to look for him but found nothing.
"Where?"
"In front of you"
"I can't see you" Natsu spoke, feeling tears of fears in her eyes. Afraid her husband had left her alone.
"Because you won't believe me" were the young man's last words, as the room started to turn white.
"What do you mean? Of course I believe you, you're my husband." Natsu waited for an answer and for him to appear, but there was no response and presence from her husband. "Gray?" The woman started to call, repeating his name from her mouth.
Tears had then fell from her eyes, holding her baby's tiny body to her chest. "Gray where are you? Answer me."
But a response from her child, made her silent. "Mommy, Daddy is gone. Because you won't believe him" where the baby's words to her, as she felt goosebumps on her skin. An image of her savior, lying on the ground with a broken car had suddenly came to her mind.
o0o0o0o
With sweat and tears, Natsu had finally woke up from her dream. Words from her dreams, made her think of her savior.
The day she had first saw him, the man had kept on persisting that he was her husband. But the thought never crossed her mind to believe, as she saw how they placed him inside his casket, wearing a suit. How they had mourned for him, before he was buried. How they had cried tears of pain and depression when her husband was buried to the ground.
"Mommy, Daddy is gone. Because you won't believe him" The toddler's words kept repeating on her mind as she decided to take a shower. Trying to forget her dream, she started to hum the song her husband had composed for her.
All dressed and ready, the woman decided to bring clothes for her son to change, who had stayed at the hospital to take care of her savior with his aunt Lucy by his side. Natsu placed the toddler's clothes inside her bag. Closing her sons' room softly, she made her way out and headed towards the hospital.
Gray had then opened his eyes to see that no one was around, seeing that his body was attached to some machines, he sat up and looked around the white room.
"Am I still at the hospital?" the man had thought to himself. Sitting up from his bed, the man started to remember his dream. If only that was reality and this was a dream, it would have been better for his Family.
Humming the tune of the song he used to sing for his wife, the man lied back down once again to rest. His humming then turned to words as his words had formed to the lyrics of his self composed song when he was young and was still dating his lover.
A pink haired woman was walking her way to visit the man who saved her from the accident. Facing the door and putting her hand on the handle, that's when she heard the song. The only song that her husband had composed for her when she was young. Listening to each words carefully brought tears to her eyes. Starting to believe that, that man is really her husband.
Opening the door, the man halted his song as he faced the woman to his side, looking surprised.
"Where did you hear that song?" were words that left her mouth as she made her way towards him, holding his shoulders, forcing his answers out from his mouth.
"I made this song when I was in high school" was his response to her in a calm voice. Knowing she will not believe and will tell him a liar again. With a sigh, the raven haired man removed her hands from his shoulder.
"Only my husband knows that song"
"I know, because I am him"
"Are you really him?"
"It is for you to believe. I won't force you. But I'll tell you something that you know, your husband still and will forever gonna love you even in death." where his words to her, closing his eyes for him to rest.
"Believe me or not, I won't force you. I'll tell the world that I love you and will always love you for eternity" Were her lover's words to her, after they had almost broke up after seeing him sleeping beside another woman inside their apartment.
Tears had then started to fall as she wailed loudly inside the hospital room.
His eyes had then widen as he turned as saw her crying by his side. His crying wife, had then moved closer towards him and cried on his chest.
"You Ice princess, why didn't you told me?"
"I did, a lot of times, but you won't believe me"
"But who would? When you knew your husband is dead and then a stranger suddenly came and tell me you are my husband."
"Well, you got a point. But I myself, really didn't knew how I am alive"
"Your son was almost five, when he had asked me to give you another chance." The words from the old man had then entered his mind, smiling towards his wife. Telling her, he owe his son lots of time for them to spend.
"Of course. Yuki loves you very much, even though I was the one who gave birth to him" The woman claimed as her tears started to subdue.
A raven haired toddler had then came running inside the room, after hearing his Mother's cry. Opening the door with a jump. The toddler was surprised to see his Mother hugging his Father. Happiness and relief had then entered his heart, smiling widely to his parents. The toddler made a jump to his awaken Father.
"Daddy, you're finally awake"
The man let out a smile, as he ruffled the toddler's hair. "Of course, can't let my little boy to live on his own and I can't have Mommy crying again, right?"
Natsu released a giggle from her throat, kissing her husband on his checks. The boy did the same, as he gave his Father a hug, "Daddy is finally back, right Mommy?" the young toddler had asked innocently, earning a nod from his Mother.
