Emotionless

He might've been a robot, but it still hurt.

I'm just a robot, I have no fears,

I lack emotion and I shed no tears.

I'm just a coma, a deadly sleep

My heart is breakin' but I just can't weep.

Who am I?

This was a mistake.

What is my purpose?

He's corrupted.

Why was I made?

He's not my son.

"Bye Lu-chan!" Lucy smiled widely at her blue haired friend, waving goodbye as she walked away from the karaoke joint.

"Bye Levy-chan, Erza!" She called back, giggling as they waved and went their own ways. She turned face forward again, shivering slightly as the cold brushed her legs.

I should've worn something longer...Lucy cursed her choice of skirt, shaking her head in dismay. Of course the one day she decides to go out it's freezing cold.

She sighed softly before remembering something. "Oh crap, I forgot to do my homework." She cursed herself once more, dread tumbling into her stomach.

Up ahead, she noticed something in the street lamp's shadow. She squinted her eyes, trying to decipher what it was.

It looks like a...like a...! Lucy's eyes widened and she picked her pace up, rushing over to the fence.

"Are you okay?" She exclaimed, seeing the boy slouched over on the sidewalk. His eyes were closed and he gave no response, his chest not even moving.

"Oh my god..." She whispered, shocked. Was he dead?

"Hello? I'm going to call the cops." She promised, crouching down next to him. She put his hand on his shoulder the best she could in the dark, trying to shake him awake.

Please don't be dead...She thought worriedly, poking the boy on the forehead now.

Suddenly his eyes snapped open, startling her into falling backwards and onto her butt. She stared in full blown bewilderment as he blinked and stood up, his movements laggy at best.

"Subject 4452 activated in Magnolia, Fiore." He said in an unknown language to her. She stared up at him in a trance, watching as he slowly walked into the lamp's light, oblivious to her presence.

She gasped audibly when he was visible, her brown eyes reflecting the surprise she was feeling.

His hair had a golden tint to it in the light, the salmon locks drooping into his face. His hands were clenched tightly by his sides, the outfit he was wearing very peculiar.

It was all white, though it had splotches of dirt as if he had fallen off a hill of some sorts. His pant legs are ripped slightly, the smooth expensive looking fabric tearing away to show his tan skin.

Suddenly he turned, and she found herself staring eye to eye with the strange man.

And then his black orbs began glowing gold.

He shuddered, and when she blinked she was staring at a boy who was slightly slouched over, his face sunk in with fatigue.

"Where...am I.." He managed before collapsing at her feet, causing her to jump. She stared at his passed out body, still trying to comprehend what had just happened.

"Where did you find him again?"

"I told you mama, he was laying down on the cement, I thought he was dead! He suddenly stood up and started speaking a different language before passing out."

The pinkette stiffened, trying to pretend he was asleep. He listened carefully as the two women conversed about him, his scanners searching for information.

"That's strange...maybe he's an orphan?"

Layla Heartfilia, age 42, unemployed. Status: Active. Parents: deceased. Labeled: Poor, commonly known as 'Unlucky Layla'.

"He sure is weird...I hope he's okay though."

Lucy Heartfilia, age 17, works at Scarlet bakery. Status: Active. Parents: Father, deceased. Mother, active. Labeled: Poor, Beautiful, referred to by males as 'Princess'.

All this information was poured into his head, irritating him beyond belief. His eyes involuntarily fluttered open, showing the two people he had just learned much about.

The older one gasped and came to his side, staring down at him with familiar brown eyes.

"Are you okay?" She asked softly. He groaned in response, shaking his head slightly to unjumble his thoughts. His eyes trailed past her to the other blonde, a shock running through his body.

"Do...do I know you?" His voice came out softly, uncertain if they were trustworthy.

"I'm Layla and this is my daughter Lucy." The older blonde introduced, bringing said daughter in front of him. Lucy stared down at him with distrustful eyes, though it was obvious she was worried for him.

"You...I've seen you." He mumbled under his breath, searching his archives for the correct memory.

"Last night, I dragged you home." She explained, standing by his side now as he sat up on the small cot. She smiled down at him and took his hand, squeezing it gently.

"Do you know who you are?" She asked him lightly. He scrunched his eyes closed, searching for a name.

No name...? Think fast! He panicked internally, his eyes opening once more. His eyes darted around the room and out the window, noticing the summer sunshine.

"Natsu." He answered shortly, his black eyes trailing back over to her coffee orbs.
