Like a Family
The three were being escorted to the guild by their friends. Nalu was in high spirits. He took his dad's left hand and mom's right hand and asked them to swing him.
Natsu didn't mind and began to swing. Lucy, on the other hand can feel the intense gaze of their friends from behind.
Gray was scoffing, while Erza was trying her best to hide her heated complexion. Wendy was just smiling and giggling the whole time.
Feeling that nothing would come of it, Lucy played along with the swinging. Nalu began to laugh. He was slightly lifted and was swung back and forth. Natsu liked it very much and had him swinging his arms higher and faster.
Lucy began to panic as Natsu aimed to swing faster and faster, she feared maybe Nalu might get frightened. But then, to her surprise, the little boy was laughing and seems to be having fun.
She then began to think it would be fine, Natsu is someone who would enjoy being swung like this…guess Nalu got that from her father….wait, why is she taking this overboard?
Feeling silly for herself of thinking that they really are the little angel's parents, she began to swing in a fiercer speed than Natsu. This got Natsu, increasing his own and Nalu laughing even more. He was really enjoying this little winging turning to chaotic for a minute.
The three persons behind began to worry.
"You think the kid will be ok?" Gray asked, even if he didn't seem to give an ounce of care.
"He is laughing…" Erza observed. Wendy on the other hand began worrying and mumbling for Lucy and Natsu to be careful.
Just as they were convinced, Natsu' grip slips from Nalu's which result for him to go flying. Lucy also lets go, and was shocked at what she had done. Expecting to hear the little boy fear his condition, instead they heard him screaming with joy.
"Yah!" he said with a grin on his face. Seriously, the kid doesn't have danger in his vocabulary.
Before the others make their move to the rescue, the 'parents' were already up and going. Lucy was running and calculating Nalu's fall. Ahead of her was Natsu, who wasn't actually good with things, was back up if Lucy miss.
With a jump, Lucy manages to catch Nalu who was still laughing.
"Mama!" he grinned. Before Lucy could sigh in relief, she panics as she expected the bare ground to hit her back. Lucky for her, Natsu manages to be a cushion.
"You okay?" Natsu asked, holding Lucy's shivering shoulders. Lucy then felt her cheeks heat up.
"Papa!" Nalu laughed with mischief smile on his face.
Their current position as of now is as it should be described: Natsu sitting on the pavement of the streets. Between his legs was Lucy who's holding Nalu in her arms. Natsu's hand on Lucy's shoulder as it was mentioned awhile ago.
"Don't scare us like that" Lucy blurted, finally able to sigh in relief. Nalu lowered his head as an apologetic gesture.
"Yeah, listen to your mom" Natsu then added. It got him wide eye when he just realized what he had said.
Lucy gazed at him, a hint of pink on her cheek. Natsu then felt his own face getting warmer.
After their minute eye contact, they both gazed at Nalu. The little had raised his head and had given his smile. His cheeks were painted pink, just the same as Lucy. He really resembled her a bit, with a hint of himself.
After a few minutes staring at each other, the three of them began laughing, staying at their position.
The three people left behind came running, then halts at the sight. A smile was plastered on to their faces.
"They…" Gray began, but couldn't seem to continue. Erza did the honors.
"Look like a real Family…"
"Uh huh" Wendy giggled.
The three admired the sight before them, until Gray decided to ruin the moment.
"So, till when do you plan to sit there and laugh?"
The three stops and began observing how they were positioned. Natsu stood up as quickly as Lucy. Nalu still clutched on Lucy's arm. He still had that smile on his face as he hugs his mother who was blushing scarlet, just as same as his dad.
I never expected Nalu to be my most viewed. Well, I'd like to thank everyone! Even if it's just two chapters! Well, here's the update, please review!
