You love Lucy. You love Lucy. You love Lucy? Maybe Juvia was wrong, maybe you really are sick. Maybe you should go see Wendy first just to make sure and then-
SMACK!
Natsu ran straight into a lamppost, to consumed with his thoughts to see that he had walked through three bushes, ran into 2 people and finally, ran into a lamppost, all of these things giving him strange looks from pedestrians walking by. The first lamppost woke him up a little, but it wasn't until the second one not 1 minute after running into the first that he finally observed the scene around him. Due to the sun, he had to squint, but sure enough he saw Lucy's little apartment about 50 feet ahead of him. He sighed, but continued walking, feet dragging slowly behind him as if he were a zombie.
Natsu didn't want to talk to Lucy. But he had to. He glanced up at the building that was slowly coming closer and closer, to the point where he was right under the window. And thats when the butterflies came in full swing, fluttering around his stomach like there was no tomorrow. Natsu felt nauseous.
No backing out. You have to do this. Or do you? NO! You have to tell her. Now.
Natsu sighed inwardly once more before jumping and crawling up to Lucy's window. He slipped through the pane of glass Lucy always kept unlocked, to see her at her desk scribbling furiously on a piece of paper. Natsu cleared his throat, and Lucy shot up, holding her pen for dear life.
"HOLY SHIT NATSU! WHY CAN'T YOU USE THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!?" Natsu grinned out of habit, mentally preparing himself for the kick he would normally receive, but it didn't come. But his signature grin disappeared when Lucy's heaving chest did, and when she looked at him with her beautiful chocolate colored eyes. She leaned against her desk and smiled warmly at him.
Natsu suddenly wanted to be gone. Why did she have to make him so nervous? And why did she have to look at him that way...With her smile that made him feel all weird and those sparkling eyes that made his stomach do flips and turns. He didn't want to tell her. He didn't want her creepy grin to leave the face that he loved so much. But…
"Lucy...I...er...I love you Luce…" He whispered quietly. Lucy stared at him, wide eyed, shocked.
"You...You make me feel...like I have millions of butterflies, or like I'm having this huge fever whenever I see you look at me. Seeing you with Gray-" Natsu growled lowly, but Lucy heard it, and her eyes widened even more. "I just want to punch that fucking bastard." He finished in a hardly audible whisper. "You make me sick Lucy...Love-sick" And to conclude, he took small, slow steps towards Lucy, as if he didn't want to scare her. Natsu touched Lucy's cheek gently and leaned in towards her lips, eyes closed.
He felt a hand cover his mouth.
Natsu eyes shot open, to reveal Lucy's hand covering his mouth when he must've only been an inch from her own. Her golden bangs covered her eyes, trying to hide the brown sparkle that Natsu longed to see again.
And then he smelled it.
The saltiness of tears.
After all Natsu had been through, seeing Lucy with Gray, watching them kiss, feeling all of that heartbreak. All of it was nothing compared to seeing Lucy's entire body shaking, the frown her beautiful lips were turned down to, realizing he had made Lucy cry. Millions of stabs went through his chest, each hurting more than the last.
You made Lucy cry.
"I-I'm sorry Natsu...I c-can't. She whispered, her voice hoarse as the fresh tears travelled down her face. And then she ran. Slamming the door, she ran into the streets of Magnolia.
Natsu stared after her. His onyx eyes looked hollow and emotionless. And suddenly, Natsu felt a bubbling anger inside of him. Not at Lucy, not at Gray, it was at himself. He whipped around and through a punch at Lucy's wall, leaving large dent.
"DAMN IT!"
Natsu through another, anger seething through every part of his body.
"WHY DID I HAVE TO FUCKING MAKE LUCY CRY?" He screamed, louder than ever before. And then he collapsed onto her soft bed, Lucy's sweet smell filling up his nose in attempt to calm him.
"Why did I have to make Lucy cry?" He whispered, voice cracking and hoarse as he stared at his hands. His knuckles started to bruise from the punches, but he didn't feel it. The pain that he felt inside was too strong for him to be able to feel anything else.
And then something caught his eye. The paper that Lucy had been writing on slowly floating down to the ground. He got up, and staggered over to the paper that had Lucy's perfect bubbly writing on it. Natsu picked it up, and, even though this part was unplanned and he knew he shouldn't, read it.
It said:
Dear Mom,
Hey Mom, how's heaven? Things are doing pretty okay down here, in case you were wondering. Remember Gray? I think I told you about him before. But anyway, he was my date to the Valentines Day Dance at Fairy Tail, and I may have possibly had my first kiss! So things have gotten better. I have to admit, I think I'm falling for Gray. But, still, there's still a place in my heart for Natsu, for now anyway. I wish he could've understood Mom, because I know no matter what, I think I may always love that dense idiot. But for now, I've moved on. And it was about time I guess. I love Gray now, and that's how it should be. Well, thats all I have for you mom. I know it's not much, but it's enough for me. I hope things are doing okay up there, I miss you.
Signed,
Lucy.
REMEMBER THAT YOU LOVE ME!
