I DONT OWN FT
Ridiculous
"I think destiny brought us together."
"Okay… So nowadays destiny is a woman that has blond hair and is just goddamn gorgeous," I turned to my boyfriend. He didn't even turn to look at me. Just sitting underneath the sun like that, he looked goddamn hot. His spiky blond hair reflected the sun and glowed. His tan skin and well-built muscles were clear under the sun's rays. "Way to speak about your mother. I'll make sure our kids don't talk like that."
"How'd you come up with that?" I asked again, still curious. He wasn't responding so I moved closer to him and poked his shoulders. He was still focused at the waves in front of us and paid no attention to me. I moved away and pouted. Honestly! I wanted to go to the beach together with him, but not like this. I even went and bought this new, cute bikini all for him.
"Hey, come on now." He said. Before I could turn to look at him, he was already on top of me, smirking. I could see his perfect face at a close distance and it made my heart thump faster than it was supposed to. His manly features, his seductive eyes and cocky grin. He slowly closed the distance between our faces and I closed my eyes.
The impact didn't come.
I opened my eyes to see his face extremely close to mine. Our noses touched each other, our lips inches apart. I could feel my cheeks reddening. "I mean, we're both blond," He said teasingly, "We're meant to be together."
"Geez, how cheesy. Also, that means you're meant to be with-mmph!" My words were stopped by his lips forcefully crashing into mine.
I opened my eyes slowly so that whatever creature that were lurking in my room gets a chance to hide. Same old bed, same old ceiling, just…some different feelings. What a ridiculous dream. Am I gonna start having flashbacks as a dream for the rest of the year now?
My gaze turned to the phone in front of me. I reached out to take it. Let's see… 10 missed calls from Levy, 15 from Erza and Gray, and… 50 from Natsu. I felt a little smile creeping to my face as I saw that. How typical.
Bzzt… Bzzt…
Oh... It's ringing again.
"Hello?"
"Lucy! I'm so glad you answered!"
"Eheheh… Hi, Levy."
"Are you okay?"
Yes, I'm goddamn amazing.
"Well, what do you think?"
"You're better off without him, Lu-chan, I'm so glad you managed to call it off!"
Oh, so she's been despising my relationship all this time?
"Thanks, Levy-chan."
"You want to head out for coffee later? There might be some hot single guys!"
"Err… Maybe next time, I guess."
"All right! Talk to you later!"
"Have fun…"
I shut it off. What the hell was that? I squeezed the stuffed plush on my hands. How could she even-?! Does she not even?! Throughout every point in my relationship I consulted her, and that was her reaction?! I feel betrayed.
"Idiot!" I threw my stuffed plush to the air and rolled around in my bed.
"…You really don't notice I'm here…?"
"Eh?" I turned to a voice I didn't expect. The voice belonged to a guy with pink hair-yes, pink, despite him insisting it's salmon-with unusual dark, onyx eyes. He had a weird serious look in his face, something that didn't suit his usually bright face. Due to his close, long acquaintance with me, he had the authority to go to my house at will, vice versa. "How dare you break up with Eucliffe without even talking to me first?!"
"What does it have to do with you?" I frowned, not liking his behavior. He walked right up to my bed and ruffled my hair. He sticked his forehead to mine and continued ruffling my hair. The guy, was Natsu Dragneel, my childhood friend, best friend, partner-in-crime, whatever you call it. He always did knew how to soothe me, and t'was no exception.
"I'm sorry you had to go trough that on your own," His voice gentle and comforting, "I guess it was partly my fault, since I had that game yesterday and couldn't be beside you. I know you love him, and I can't say this is for the best, but whatever happens, I'm on your side."
"You bastard, you didn't like him to begin with." I lightly punched his chest. Natsu had a teasing smile on his face when pulled away from me. "But I put up with him for you, Princess, and he didn't like me either."
"Oh yeah, yesterday, before I, um…"
"Don't say it."
"Thanks," I flashed a soft smile at my best friend, "I went to your room to drop off your gundam and found some porn mags. I hid them, don't worry, but you oughta be more careful if you don't want Grandinee-san finding out."
"That's not what I'm worried about!"
"Hmm?"
"L-Listen, if you found one of my magazines then…"
"Yup! Pretty weird fetish, Natsu, and I thought you were gay!"
"How'd you come up with that?!"
"Well, you do have pink hair-"
"It's salmon!"
"-and I've never seen you interested in girls."
"Well, maybe I just don't show you." Natsu pouted. He averted his gaze and pouted, his cheeks reddening. Aww, Natsu's actually blushing?! He is so cute! Then again, did Natsu really have a crush? I've never seen him actually approaching girls, aside from me. He's that jock who's D everyone wants but is too dense to notice it. "Hey now, how come I've never heard of this potential Mrs. Dragneel?"
"Potent-" Natsu turned to me, as if shocked, his cheeks redding even more. God, why didn't I find that magazine sooner? He averted his gaze again. "I-It's no one, no one!"
"Man, I really am surprised, though." I said out-loud. Natsu pouted with a disappointed look in his face, as if questioning me. "You were really close with Laxus that one time-"
"Lucy, don't tell me about your crazy fantasies!"
"Oh, and that time with Gray was-"
"I swear, Lucy-"
"and with that look on his face, I could've sworn you and Gajeel had something!"
"That's it-"
"Elfman would also pair up really nicely with-"
"Off to hell with you!"
"M-Man… You really… went with it…" I managed to let out between pants. I was laying down on my bed, tired and sweaty, and Natsu had his legs beside me, his head at the other side of the bed. We were both panting hard, me a bit harder than Natsu. "Of course… You think… I was… joking…?"
I chuckled a bit, and Natsu joined in, and before we knew it, we were both bursting with laughter.
"Ah, we haven't done that in awhile." I reminisced, smiling. Natsu grinned and sat up. "Well I had to, you were practically begging for it."
"Was not."
"Sure."
"I wonder if people get the wrong idea if they see us like this." I wondered half-jokingly. Natsu stared at me and lifted one of his eyebrows. He then grinned. "They might."
I sat up and looked at the window beside my bed. The setting sun made me realize what time it was. God, did I spend a whole day with Natsu? I guess I really feel calm and comfortable beside him. The hours we spent felt like minutes. Now that I think about it, I haven't eaten-
rrr~
"Luce, your stomach just rumbled."
"You don't have to point that out. I haven't eaten all day."
"Yeah, you haven't showered either."
"Shut up!"
"Oh yeah, found this this morning. Forgot to give it to you." Natsu handed me a piece of paper with the scent of roses on it.
Dear Lucy,
I'm going to visit a friend today, so I'll be gone for the day. Leaving you in Natsu's hands, okay? Take care!
Love Always,
Layla
Layla was my mother.
"Bummer, so that means I'm gonna have to cook tonight."
"You don't have to."
"Natsu, the last time you cooked, a whole table was on fire." I said sternly. Instead of getting all worked out and convincing me he could cook, or pout and say I did worse, or simply smile and say he's eager to taste my cooking, Natsu mischievously lifted one of his eyebrows. "Who said I was gonna cook?"
"Yes!" I cheered, lifting my hands up to the air. Natsu sighed and smiled an it-can't-be-helped smile. He took out his phone and before dialing a number, Natsu asked, "Pizza or Chinese?"
"Pizza! A large one! Can you stay over tonight, Natsu? We can have a movie marathon-again, something we haven't done in awhile." I said. Natsu and I used to stay over at each others' houses all the time, but ever since I, well, met… Sting… for some reason he and I didn't anymore. And, I didn't want to spend the night alone. I'll end up crying my eyes out if I did.
"All right, we'll also order cheese bites, a vanilla milkshake for you and a chocolate one for me. But, about that… Sorry, have to help Wendy with homework. Dad said it was in exchange for my new jersey." Natsu explained, looking straight at me to make sure I wasn't disappointed. Wendy's Natsu's little sister, an adorable middle school bluenette. Her and Natsu's mother, Grandinee met Igneel, their father of course, at college and the two were inseparable since.
"Hnn… That's okay, I guess." I smiled, trying to hide my disappointment. Natsu saw right trough it and ruffled my hair again. "I'm sorry, next time okay? I'll stay until at least after dinner, of course. Go take a bath and I'll wait downstairs. You stink."
"Jerk." I stucked out my tongue. Natsu smiled apologetically and went out of my room, closing the door behind him.
"You sure you gonna be okay?" Natsu asked again, sipping his last drop of chocolate milkshake. I nodded and sipped my vanilla milkshake. Spending the night alone really wasn't anything someone my age should get all worked out about. I don't know why I was so troubled about it earlier. Natsu studied my face to make sure I wasn't lying and threw his empty plastic bottle to the trashcan.
"Really sorry, Luce, but trust me-if anything happens, I'll come running. Also, maybe I'll pay a little visit to Eucli-"
"Please don't."
"But why shouldn't I, when he makes you cry so easily like that while I fucking do lots of shit just to make you smile?!"
"You've... noticed?" I asked, a bit perplexed. I didn't think Natsu noticed. Natsu moved his closer to mine and caressed my slightly droopy eyes. He smiled sadly and flicked my forehead. Reaching towards the doorknob, Natsu turned again to look at me and grinned. "Of course I noticed, idiot."
*klick!
As soon as Natsu was gone, a huge wave of loneliness passed trough me. Looking the empty pizza box on front of the couch reminded me of how much Sting hated my cooking-"Too many taste, why can't kids these days make something normal?"-but ate them all up anyway. I sipped my vanilla milkshake and gazed at the empty chair in front of me.
[Hey blondie, hurry up! Whatever you're cookin' smells good.]
[You're blond, too, dumbass, and ramen is it's name!]
[I don't care what it's called, or how it tastes.]
[Then why-]
[I just wanna eat something out of you.]
[...]
[...]
[Don't make it sound weird like that!]
I smiled bitterly. After being left by my first boyfriend, is this what's left of me? He doesn't matter. I'll meet tons of new guys-all better than him. I'm gonna look back and think, how silly this me is, crying over such a B-rated guy like that.
I finished my vanilla milkshake and headed to my room.
As I entered my room, my eyes focused at an object on top of my study desk. My phone. I hadn't checked it ever since Natsu came by. I grabbed ahold of it, but put it back to my desk. I'm just gonna end up looking at old texts again. I grabbed my plush.
Mmm…
Oh, come on, I'm just gonna look at one photo of him, and then done. Just… No more.
0XXXXXXXXX
Missed call.
I blinked. Was this a dream? I pinched myself. No, maybe just pinching won't do the trick. I bit my lips. I slapped myself before I start taking a knife or something. The number was unknown but I'd recognize that pattern anywhere.
Motherfucking Sting Eucliffe.
Did he press that on purpose? Or not? Even if he didn't press it on purpose, it still means he kept my number, right? Or did he just accidentally press a bunch of numbers? No, no, that's not possible. Why am I so-? Lucy, are you-? No, no, get away from the callback sign. No talking with this prick. Come on, Lucy, you're better than-
*beep beep*
Fuck it all. Just… Just… Fuck it all.
"Hello?"
What the hell…? That is so not Sting's voice.
"Yeah, err, sorry, you called?"
"Hnn…?" There was a muffled voice at the end of the line, "Oh, yeah, didn't press on purpose. Pardon."
"Um, okay."
~beep beep~
The voice that answered, wasn't Sting's voice. Did I misremember his number? No, that's not possible. But I'd recognize Sting's voice anywhere. Maybe I'm just a bit tired, err, yeah, that's all.
You, you gonna break my heart
You gonna tear it apart, no matter what you do
I'll still be there for you
I stared at my phone. Another call?
Yukino Aguria
"Lucy-san!"
"Err… Yes?"
"…How're you?"
"I'm okay."
"I'm sorry, I really don't understand. Do you still love him?"
Yes.
"…Maybe."
"He's… He's been weird, all he does is sit at his balcony, looking at stars."
"It's only been a day."
"…I'm sorry. It's really a shame. He was really happy when you accepted him, you know, immediately told the world you're his. His mom was also really glad he finally found someone."
"He'll find someone else again."
"I… don't know about that, he's got that look in his eyes that's as if…"
"…"
"as if he just lost the appetite to love anyone."
"Everyone feels like that after a break up, someone else will come along and show him that he hasn't lost his appetite after all."
"Everyone… Then, you too?"
"…"
"He's lonely."
"I… need to go help my mom, Yukino-san, bye."
"If anything happens with Sting, just call me, all right?"
"Thanks, Yukino-san."
~beep beep~
Yukino Aguria, is the childhood bestie of Sting. Kind of like Sting's Natsu… Sorta. They spent a lot of time together, not only that, they live next door to each other. Their parents are also really close friends with each other for an amazing amount of time. Sting's mother asks Yukino if she notices anything weird about Sting, and vice versa. They practically can't get out of each others' lives.
That, of course, is something I was jealous of.
There's been rumors about them. The usual, apparently they kissed, apparently they dated once, and stuff. I was crazy jealous once, and Sting simply teasingly kissed me and said he wasn't able to cheat on me because God only made one of me. He was such a flirt.
I sighed and threw myself to my bed. I could distract myself easily whenever someone is with me, but when I'm alone I… just…
[Move your ass, babe, we're going to that ice cream store you wanted to go to.]
I start to have flashbacks of our time spent together…
[Tilt your head up, I wouldn't be able to kiss you otherwise.]
And I just start…
[You don't know how much I'm resisting just so Mrs. Heartfillia can have a peaceful sleep.]
I bit my lips so tears would stop falling. Come on, I thought you were stronger than that. Stop, just… Just don't think about him, don't think about him, don't think about him, you deserve better.
Lucy, you idiot…
