Day 05: play ground
.
Alone and cold, inside the grand villa, she is.
The first snow started to fall.
Lucy stared at the garden of their villa, when she heard something rustle on the bushes. She notice that the servants were busy in their duties, and she decided to go outside.
It's the first snow, and Gray is curious at the rumours circulating their town recently.
' the heiress of the Heartfilia railways is here for vacation. ' Curious he is, he decided to go to the villa.
And now here he is stuck in the bushes.
She peaked on the bushes, only to see a boy not much older than her.
He saw a little blonde girl who giggle at his embarrassing situation.
"Uhmm, do you need some help?" Lucy asked to the boy. Who scrunch up his face but his face where already beet red.
Gray was embarrassed, but he still took her hand. It was small, soft, and warm.
He heard her giggle and something tingles in his chest.
They never asked nor said each others name, yet they spend day by day at the garden, their playground.
The two became friends and the servants hid this information from their precious Lucy's father. They were glad to see the little girl smiling again.
"I'll call you fuyu, since you don't want to say your real name." Lucy said to the boy. She smile at her first friend, who's face as rosy as the roses in their garden.
"Hmmp, then you'll be Haru." Gray said to the blonde girl who just smiled at him. He never will say it out loud but he is happy to be her friend.
The garden became the Lucy's and the boy's playground, and the servants knew that her happy days wouldn't last.
Sooner or later the two has to part.
Days passed by and the gloomy villa now is full of laughter. The servants were just more than happy to watch the two kids play.
They wish that this moment would last.
Laughter and Smile filled their hearts, but...
It's a wish that they knew that would melt like snow.
One day, Lucy woke up inside the carriage.
Her father is beside her.
"You're finally awake. We are on our way home..."
Home?
Lucy didn't listened to the rest of her father's ramblings and started to cry.
She'll treasure those moments and she'll run away when she's old enough.
Gray arrives but he didn't see the little blonde girl. He waited on the garden of the now gloomy villa.
He waited...
"Oy brat! Let's go home!" Ur picked him up and ramble on things.
Home?
He grit his teeth...
"You'll forget about her... Ah young love!" He heard the woman say to him and that he should focus on training...
He did trained but then chaos arrived.
The garden, his town, Ur, and everything is now gone.
Lucy would never forget the day, when she met a boy that change her whole life.
She remembered,
But he forgot.
It's a fond memory she would never forget, until she let out her last breath.
Without regrets, she smiled to herself as she notice the first snow started to fall.
She felt someone tugged her skirt, Lucy stared at the little boy beside her, and chuckled when she saw him pout.
"Fuyu, let's go home."
"Yippee! Mama, will uncle Natsu visit and play with me tonight?"
"Who knows." She let out a bittersweet smile.
