~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~
Natsu ignored her as he opened her door and slammed it close, leaving her house.
Lucy was worried, he was mad. He was definitely pissed at her.
She brought Loki out and all of a sudden he got mad. Was he a bad subject? What was wrong with him and Loki?
She needed answers quick and she needed to know what happened between her fire breather and lion spirit.
After Lucy has gotten dressed and ready to head to the guild, she first climbed on her bed summoning Loki out. Loki came out and bowed smiling.
"Good morning, princess!"
"Hey, Loki."
"What have you called me for? Did Natsu finally mess up?"
"Loki, what happened between you and Natsu?" Lucy suddenly asked, ignoring his question. "What do you mean?"
"Loki, do you know I've been in the hospital for almost a month, sleeping?" Loki's eyes suddenly got wide. "What? Are you okay! Are you sick? What happened?" Loki started to shout.
"What kind of spirit are you if you don't even know about your owner's condition?" Lucy huffed crossing her arms.
"I'm so sorry chérie! Mon apologiges!"
"Um, are you speaking French..?"
"Oh oui, je Suis!" Lucy raised a brow looking at him. "Translation: Yes, I am."
"Wouldn't it be easier to say yes?" Lucy sighed. "Oh, what am I doing, tell me! Do you and Natsu have some war going on or something?"
"No, Natsu just hates my guts since I always flirted with you and tried taking you away when you were his. But personally, I think he's just jealous of me." Loki winked. Lucy sighed again.
"Natsu's mad at me because I threatened him that I'll summon you to kick him out of my house. . ."
"Oh you should have! That would have been so much fun!"
"You're not getting the point here! Go back!" Loki sighed.
"Fine, but when you need anything else just calls me. Also, sorry about not knowing about your condition, I thought you have just forgotten about me and something wouldn't let me get pass my gate by myself. Maybe I thought you've learned how to keep our gates at bay, anyways hope you're feeling better."
"I've lost my memories."
"Wha-? How do you know me then?"
"Only about Natsu, though." Loki frowned. "Lucy, just know Natsu loves you a lot and he might even blame himself for what happened to you."
"Yeah . . . but it isn't his fault. It was mine for being so stupid and weak."
"No Lucy, Natsu declared himself as your protector, husband, and partner and if something happens to you he blames himself immediately. He loves you Lucy, just know that alright?"
"Thanks Loki."
"You're welcome now Sentez-vous mieux, Au revoir!" Said Loki before he disappeared.
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?" Lucy sighed again and stood up. Something flashed in her head and Lucy's eyes got wide.
"Lucy, I love you and I'll protect you with my life." Said Natsu. "Thank you Natsu, I love you too." Natsu grinned and gave her a sweet kiss.' Lucy blinked and shook her head, stumbling backwards and holding onto her head.
"W-What was that..? Flashback? Part of my memory..?" Lucy asked as she blinked couple of times and rubbing her eyes.
Lucy sat down on her bed for a couple of minutes waiting for some reaction but nothing happened and so she got back up.
'That was weird. . . Was that my lost memory?' Lucy thought. She shrugged it off and went out her house, going towards Fairy Tail.
'I hope Natsu's not mad at me. . .'
"And that's how it happened. She threatened me with Loki! She knows I hate it when she talks about him!" Natsu shouted as he groaned.
He's been talking to Mirajane and Erza about what happened this morning. "Natsu, remember she lost her memories."
"Yeah, about me. Only me which sucks. Why does she have to lose memories about me and not anybody else?"
"Master said it was her most precious and treasured memories. You are her most treasured and precious memory and person, Natsu."
"I know . . . but I just wish everything didn't happen. It's my entire fault she turned out that way. I promised her I'll protect her but I failed. . . Now look at what happened to her, I fail as a husband and protector. I don't deserve to be with her or even call myself her husband. I'm an idiot. . ." Natsu said as he buried his face in his hands.
"I just want my Lucy back. . ." He whined shaking his head. Erza put a sympathetic hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Natsu. Always try and work hard to get the things you want, just keep on trying and Lucy's memories will be back."
"I hope you're right, Erza."
"I am right." Natsu sighed and stared down at the table. "I feel much better after talking with you guys, thanks."
"You're welcome Natsu! We'll always be there for you." Mira smiled. "Just know we'll always be by your side whenever you need us." Erza smiled at him.
Natsu smiled back and then frowned. He sighed. "Look at me, I'm a wreck."
"How are you a wreck, Natsu?" Mirajane asked. "I'm talking to you about my feelings. I feel so . . . soft."
"You were just thanking us and what's wrong about talking to your nakama about your feelings?" Erza asked crossing her arms.
"Nothing, really, but I just feel so soft. I'm Natsu, the salamander! The fire mage who is destructive, loud, crazy not soft, sad and especially the one who talks to girls about his feelings. God, I feel so gay. . ." Natsu said shaking his head again.
"Natsu, you married Lucy one of the gorgeous women I've ever seen and you're calling yourself gay right now? Why don't you go over there and start making out with Gray then?" Mirajane asked planting her hands on her hips.
Natsu gave her a horrified look and gagged.
"I'm not gay and no way will I do that!"
"Then don't say that! How will you think Lucy feels about this situation?" Natsu gripped his cup tighter and frowned.
"You're right. . . But Loki is way out of question, I'm pissed. Pissed at the world, pissed at Loki, and pissed how she doesn't remember me. I just want everything to be the same, and I just want my life back. . ."
"Natsu, you can show what a great husband you are and how much you love her."
"I have, yesterday. I took her out on a date and she almost kissed me, by her own will. I think she's starting to like me."
"Great! That's a great start!"
"But I snapped at her this morning." Erza and Mira glared at him, still mad at him how he would do that.
"When she comes, you better apologize."
"I didn't do anything!" Natsu said. "Lucy must feel so confused. Just tell her you're sorry, she doesn't know anything that involves you." Erza said.
Natsu sighed and nodded. "Alright," Soon the guild doors opened coming a blonde celestial mage.
"Natsu! There you are!" She said as she made her way towards the three. "Here she comes, apologize." Mira whispered to him.
Natsu nodded as he had an arm on the counter and his body facing Lucy.
"Natsu!"
"Lucy, look I'm sorry for this morn-"
"No, I'm sorry." Lucy said interrupting him. Natsu stared at her. Lucy never apologies first, even if it's something stupid or little. Natsu was always forced to apologize first.
"Look, I was really confused at first but I took Loki out and he explained everything to me. I feel bad for doing everything to you, and I'm sorry. The thing that happened to me; it's not your fault. It's mine for being so weak and stupid. Natsu I don't want you to be mad at me, I-I'm starting to like you. Not as in like as a friend but like, like. Please don't be mad at me, I'm sorry."
Natsu stared at her dumbfounded. She confessed, apologized, and now what? She'll start flying?
Mira cleared her throat telling Natsu to take some action or at least say something.
"Apologize too!" Erza whispered towards him. But instead of an apology, a grin came on his face.
Lucy watched as Natsu stood up from his seat and stood in front of her, 5 inches way taller than her and much bigger.
He opened his arms and hugged her, giving her a tight squeeze.
"You don't know how long I've been trying to make you say you liked me back."
"So . . . you're not mad at me now?"
"Of course I'm not, I love you and I wouldn't make anything worse." Lucy smiled at him and hugged him back. "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too." Natsu said putting his chin on top of her head and holding her close to him.
Lucy and Natsu heard Mira sniffling and they looked at her. She was dabbing her eyes with her apron, bits of tears in her eyes.
"Are you alright, Mira?"
"I-I'm fine, just go back to your lovey dovey scene!" Mira waved her hand in the air. Lucy giggled and Natsu grinned at her.
"Luce, I'm going to go and fight with Gray!"
"Alright, be careful."
"I will." Natsu said as he let her go and was about to walk away when Lucy grabbed his arm. Natsu looked at her with a confused face.
"Something wrong?"
"Uh, c-can I have a k-kiss before you go?" Lucy asked blushing crimson. Natsu grinned and faced her once more.
He cupped her face in his large hands and gave her a peck on her lips. He pulled away and grinned at her.
"I knew you still love me, we just need to find you again." Lucy blushed and smiled at him.
"Bye, have fun."
"Thanks, Bye." He said turned around walking towards Gray's table.
"Gray! Fight me! I'm in a good mood right now and I'll kick your ass right here, right now!"
"In your dreams, pinky!"
"Let's go frost bite!" Natsu smirked jumping on Gray, and soon the two started battling.
"Awe, Lucy!" Mirajane gushed. Lucy blushed sitting down right next to Erza. "That was so cute!"
"I agree have you finally got your memories back?"
"No. . .It's just can I tell you guys something?"
"Sure, what is it?" Mira asked leaning against the counter and Erza leaning closer towards her.
"Well, before I came here something weird happened. This flash appeared and some flashback appeared in my mind."
"What was it about?" Mira asked. "Well, it was Natsu and I. He was telling me he loved me a lot and he would protect me with his life, I said thank you and lastly we kissed. It was like a flashback or some sorts, it made me feel really dizzy after though. Do you know what it might be?"
Erza and Mira exchanged looks and looked back at Lucy. "It's a memory,"
"About Natsu?"
"Yeah, and if that happened you might get a lot more memories back."
"So, you're telling me I'm going to get my memories back bit by bit every day?"
"Well, we don't know about every day but you'll get it back like that. Tiny clips going on and then you'll finally receive your memory about Natsu." Lucy smiled.
"Finally! I'm so happy!" Lucy cheered. "But Lucy, I advise you that you be careful. You said it made you dizzy after, right?" Lucy nodded.
"So, if it made you dizzy it could make you faint. And fainting in the public where nobody could help could be really dangerous. Try being with Natsu or in the guild a lot, alright?"
"Alright Mira, thank you Erza, Mira. I think I feel much better after talking with you two."
"You know, Natsu said the same thing also."
"He was talking to you guys?"
"Yes, about what happened this morning." Lucy looked at Gray and Natsu.
Natsu and Gray were arm wrestling on the guild table while Fairy members were chanting Gray's and Natsu's name, cheering them on.
Lucy and Natsu caught a glimpse of each other and both smiled.
Suddenly like Lucy has given Natsu strength Natsu slammed Gray's arm on the table and won the game.
He shot up cheering and laughing at Gray, who was on the ground, rubbing his sore arm. Lucy was watching how they started to yell lame insults to each other another flash appeared.
"Lucy Heartfillia, starting from today your name is Lucy Dragneel!" Natsu declared pointing at Lucy and smirking. Lucy laughed and smiled at him. "Alright! I accept my new name!" Natsu grinned at her.'
Lucy's eyes fluttered closed as she fell to the floor, everything turning black and hitting the hard guild floors.
