So I have a few ones that are sad...I tried to kinda lay them off but they're pretty much all I got now..gomen...and also, some are finished but I felt like not publishing them (like this one)
Ever since she was hit by that car; she wasn't the same.
{Well I guess I never should've loved you, but I do forever 'cos you loved me}
"...Ms. Lucy?" A voice called politely. Lucy's unfocused eyes met their target, the aging nurse walking in with a fake smile.
"You have a visitor Miss." The lady informed Lucy of her daily visitor. Lucy continued to stare ahead, her gaze flickering back to the wall she had been staring at.
"Come on in Mr. Dragneel." The nurse talked in hushed tones with another before exiting, allowing the man to enter.
The pink haired man stood in the searing white room, his eyes adjusting to all the light. He smiled when he saw Lucy, walking forward cautiously.
"Hey Luce,"
Her eyes darted over to his stature, brown eyes shaking. Her face an emotionless mask as she looked up at him, her usual blank stare in place.
Natsu took his usual seat, sitting down next to her small cot with a smile.
"I..." Lucy uttered, trying to unscramble her thoughts. "I...Lucy." She mumbled uncertainly, looking up at Natsu for confirmation. His eyes widened a little before he smiled widely, eyes brightening.
"Yeah, Lucy." He took her hand, seeing she wasn't in a disturbed mood today. Intertwining their fingers, he smiled even wider. "Lucy Dragneel." He whispered, his wedding band reflecting in the bright lights.
Curious to the shiny object, she tilted her head to the side, looking like a lost puppy. Noticing her gaze, he pulled his band off, holding it out for her. Her lip twitched gratefully, her hands greedily collecting the shiny ring.
"Husband." She mumbled, eying it closely. She poked her finger into the side of the band, wondering how to put it on.
Natsu's eyes widened slightly, he had never heard that word from her before. Maybe she was...improving?
"Husband." She said a little more enthusiastically, trying to poke the ring again only for her finger to go through it correctly, right on her ring finger.
His breath caught as he noticed her tensed figure, her dull orbs trying to process.
A loving yet devastated smile formed on her wobbly lips, her eyes searing with pain and longing. "Natsu," She sobbed in a whisper, staring at the golden ring.
He seemed to freeze himself, his heart constricting painfully. He watched as she cradled her finger with the accessory, smiling lightly at her.
"It's okay Lucy, I'm right here." Natsu reassured, putting a comforting palm on her shoulder. She slowly looked up at him, that look in her eyes again.
"Lu...cy?" Her vacant eyes repeated, struggling to form the sounds needed for the single word. Natsu pulled his hand back like he had been burned, his bangs now covering his face.
"It's me, Natsu." Natsu tried a different tactic, shifting his position so they were both sitting on the mattress now.
Lucy slowly flinched back, her reaction delayed. Natsu winced, hurt written across his features.
"Bad," Lucy whispered, her brown eyes widening before slowly going back to normal. Natsu looked the other way, trying to pull himself together.
"No, good." He replied. He knew he shouldn't argue with her, but for some reason he felt the need to.
"Bad." Lucy insisted, her voice now urgent.
"Lucy please." Natsu sighed, combing his hand through his hair. He looked back up to meet her piercing gaze, wanting so badly to stroke her precious cheek and kiss her soft lips.
"No, bad." She whispered, curling into herself. "Bad, bad, bad." She repeated, her eyes becoming heavy with emotion.
Natsu tried to contain his reactions, the nurses telling him not to try anything or get her to remember. They said it'd only make it worse, and that it'd hurt her even more. He wanted anything but to hurt her.
"Lucy bad." She continued, surprising him. Were they talking about him being bad or Lucy?
"Lucy is anything but bad." Natsu reassured, fumbling with his fingers, his gaze lowering to the ring on her finger-his ring.
"No, bad." She shook her head softly. "Not enough." She mumbled sadly. Natsu rose an eyebrow, compelling her to go on.
"Not enough what?" Natsu asked gently.
Lucy's empty oak eyes fell to her bare feet that rested on the mat, not having the heart to look him in the eye. "Love." She whispered.
"Oh Lucy..." His features softened, and before he could take her hand she had taken his, cupping her own cheek with his comforting, warm hand. A tear took refuge in his palm, surprising him.
"Love," She repeated, her watery eyes meeting his. "You." She finished with much difficulty, his damaged heart ripping in two.
"I love," She cuddled closer to him, turning to lay her head in his lap. Gently, she lowered herself, staring up at him with empty eyes, searching for something to fill them. "Na-ats-su." She forced out, trying to get her voice to work. Taking his hand that was against her cheek, she pulled it to her lips, kissing his ring finger that was now unoccupied.
A silent tear fell from his chin, dripping onto Lucy's cheek. As if woken from a dream, her eyes instantly dulled once more before widening, alarmed.
She pulled herself away from Natsu, eyes filled with fear as she stared at him. The blonde cowered against the wall, as if staring at a murderer who had just committed the crime.
"Lu-"
A low whimper caught his ear, stopping him. She started tearing up, her eyes wide like a deers.
The door nearly burst open, two nurses rushing in with professional faces. One quickly jumped and latched their hand on Natsu's tricep, leading him out of the room while the other talked quietly to Lucy.
"No-! No! I want to see her-let me see her!" Natsu roared, his tears now coming. The nurse held no sympathy, knowing that it had to be this way.
"You pushed her to far." The lady said in a disapproving voice. Natsu yanked away from her, rushing back in to see Lucy staring at him with terrified eyes.
"Lucy!" Natsu pulled her in a tight embrace, his wet tears falling into the crook of her neck. He basked in all of her glory; her smell, her love, her in general.
"It's me Luce, it's Natsu." He mumbled painfully, dread laced in his tone. "Please," He cried desperately, wanting anything from her.
She was stiff in his loving embrace, showing no signs of emotion once more. He felt something yank him back, two male nurses now guiding him.
"She doesn't understand anymore, sir." One said, his kind heart making it hard to watch all of this.
"She's not the same person." The other commented.
"Yes she is! She's my Lucy!" Natsu growled, fighting back desperately. Lucy stared after him, her mouth slightly agape.
Her eyes trailed down to the wedding band that rested on her finger, tears slowly surfacing to her eyes.
He watched her as the tears streaked down before she suddenly ripped the ring off, hurling it across the room. The pinkette felt his heart rip right out of his chest and be stomped into a million tiny pieces, his resistance ceasing to exist now.
They threw him into the hospital waiting room, asking him to leave. He just bowed on his knees, trying to get his bearings.
"I love you, Lucy." He whimpered.
The young blonde picked her head up weakly, her head feeling too big for her shoulders. In her sedated state, her eyes gazed over the one sided mirror, knowing that people were behind there, watching her.
Her eyes shifted over to the shimmering band on the now dark floor, her eyes coming into focus and out once more.
"Natsu!"
Lucy winced at the painstaking memory that flashed through her scattered brain, her temple pulsing.
Quietly picking herself up, she walked over to it, picking it up off the floor, holding the precious item to her heart.
"Our little Nashi."
Lucy found her hand doing its own thing, rubbing at her flat stomach, an empty feeling pulling at her strings.
"Hey Natsu, in case you get home before me I just want you to know that I'm going to the store. Don't worry, Nashi will be fine, I won't bump into anything, promise! Love you, bye."
She put a hand over her ear, the pain now coming from her canal. She turned her body, staring now at her bed.
"Please be okay. You have to be okay."
She put a hand over her heart, feeling its ache repulse through her inner core. One hand on her stomach and the other on her heart, she shuffled back to her bed, laying down on her side, cradling the ring to her now.
"I love you, Lucy."
and she would never remember
and he would never forget.
