Lucy POV
"I love you" Natsu said looking at me with loving eyes. "I love you too..." I said with the same amount of love in my voice. Our faces got closer until our lips locked, engaging in a soft tender kiss. We stayed like this for a while until suddenly he broke away. I looked confused as did he. "Lucy," he said, not sounding like Natsu at all. "Hime..." now his voice sounded like- Wait a minute.
I shot up with an angry look on my face. "WHAT!? What do you want!?" I yelled making Loke smile. "Hey, don't get mad. We are just doing what you asked of us, you are going to Fairy Tail today remember?" He asked and I remembered asking them the night before if they could remind me about leaving to go to Fairy Tail. At the time I felt ready to see them, but now that it is the actual day… I looked at my clock. "...8:30? I guess I usually get up around this time anyway… Thanks guys, and no punishment Virgo..." I said cutting off Virgo who was opening her mouth to ask for punishment. "As you wish. I hope to see you soon Hime," and she poofed vanishing to the spirit realm. Loke looked worried. "Are you sure you want to go? Do you want me to accompany you?" He asked and I smiled at the ginger spirit. "No thank you. This is something I need to do on my own, but I will summon you after because I have a feeling that a party will happen once they see me..." I sweatdropped and Loke smiled. "I will see you around princess. Good day," and he vanished into a yellow cloud, back to the spirit realm as well.
I sighed. Today is the day… I walked over to my closet and got out a white T-shirt as well as a jean jacket. I got out dark denim jeans and walked into the bathroom. "Looks like my wounds have healed again. Strange… They usually take a couple of days, maybe a week." I took a shower and put on some cherry blossom lotion. I put my hair into a very loose braid with bangs to frame my face. I ate breakfast and brushed my teeth smiling in the mirror. I am ready. I can do this.
I can't do this… I said looking up at the Fairy Tail insignia on the building I called home. I was going to walk through the doors, but fear got a hold of me and now it won't let go. I would reach for the door, and then back away, repeating the process for about 15 minutes. Finally I got through and slammed the doors open… A little harder than I would have liked… I guess I am not the best at wood works because the wooden doors came right off the hinges and hit the floor with a loud BANG! I cringed and when the smoke cleared, I found everyone looking at me. We stared at each other for a few moments before-
"LU-CHAN! YOU ARE BACK!" I heard a voice say before I was tackled to the ground. Levy stayed on me until I laughed. "Hey Levy-chan, yeah I am back..." We got up, and I was soon hugging everyone… Well almost everyone. Natsu was nowhere to be found.
I ordered a drink and sat at the bar, being followed by many other guild members. I sat down and the moment I knew was coming came. "So Lucy, how did you get so strong?" I looked at the origin of the voice and Gray had a curious look on his face. I sighed. How do I explain this?
I told them the story of how my mother was the queen of the realm of creatures, and everyone scooted closer. I told them how I learned all magic and decided to demonstrate by doing an ice floor, and it clicked for everyone on how I was able to create that ice floor in battle. I told them about my transformation magic, but left out the part about how I was the prophecy queen. I told them I could do dragon, phoenix, wolf, angel, demon, god, and giant slaying magic, and Wendy spoke up. "But Lucy-san, how many dragon slayers do we have in the guild? There are five including you, but you have all of the elements, so do we say five, or how ever many elements you have, added to ours?" I looked up for a moment thinking before saying. "I think we should only say five. It would be fun to scare the crap out of dark guilds when they see I am a multi-slayer!" I said and everyone laughed. "Well, do you want to keep this private, or do you want to go public about being the strongest mage?" Gray asked and I immediately answered. "No!... I mean I don't want everyone knowing my secret JUST yet… Maybe later." Everyone smiled agreeing on something that I wasn't informed on.
"Uh… What is so funny?" I asked and Mira came up. "Well, we were only talking about the Grand Magic Games! Last year… was a mess, but this year everyone is competing and wanting to see new guild members that have come! We were now thinking of joining seeing as we have a new member!" she said grabbing my hand and I just looked more confused. "But there aren't any new members..." She laughed and let go of my hand. "Silly, you are our new member! I mean not technically, but you have so many new magic types in you that it would be hard to say that you are not a new mage! Plus, this will give you a chance to show everyone how strong you are!" I looked at everyone thinking for some time.
"Are the teams already decided?" I asked and she looked at me shaking her head. "No, I mean we have team ideas, since we were going to join a while ago, and we had a slot missing on one of the teams. You would fit perfectly into that team!" I gave in and stood up. "Alright I will compete in the Grand Magic Games!" Everyone cheered behind me and I turned around. "Who are my team members?"
"Gray, Erza, Elfman, Wendy on reserve, and Natsu!" I nearly fainted on the spot. "Yeah! That sound like the perfect team!" I said smiling.
This is the absolute WORST team!
A figure walked over the doors (Dang it Lucy, you broke the doors!) and in came Natsu and a flying Happy. "Natsu! Lucy has come back into Fairy Tail!" Romeo said looking to the dragon slayer. Natsu smiled acting like he was happy, but for the longest time that I had known him, the one thing I knew the best were his smiles. This was not the REAL Natsu smile… "That's great! Hey Lucy!" He said calling me by my first name. "Hey Lushi! You look strong!" Happy spoke chewing on a fish. I didn't answer and turned to the guild. "I am really hungry, so I will talk to you later!" I walked past Natsu and our arms touched. He turned and looked at me with a face of disgust. I looked at him with guilt and then quickly ran home.
Nobody's POV
Silence was the only thing being heard in the guild. "What did you do flamebrain?" Gray asked walking over to Natsu already half naked. "I don't know what you are talking about!" Natsu responded cracking his knuckles. Happy felt a dark aura coming from a white haired mage and decided to get to the back of the guild over to Wendy and Carla. They both stopped dead in their tracks hearing the Satan herself. "Natsu, Gray, how about we don't fight today. Natsu, what did you do to Lucy? If you ruin my ship, I ruin YOU!" Mira said in Satan soul. Natsu broke into a sweat and Gray was already gone. "Nothing happened… I just said that she didn't leave without a goodbye, and that it really hurt me..." he said choosing his words carefully. Mira bought it and changed back to normal. She was squealing and brought out a security lacrima. "I have some unseen footage here! I can see my ship coming true!~" she watched it and slowly her happy face turned to a blank expression, and then confused, going to mad, going to pissed. She was PISSED.
"Lucy, don't make me say it all… Why did you leave the guild… Why did you leave me. I thought you loved the guild, cared for them, but there was no goodbye, no hug, not even a single letter… I thought you loved everyone here… I thought you loved me..."
Natsu listened closely and watched how scared me made Lucy feel. It didn't sound like him at all. Was that really him? He saw Lucy crying and instantly felt guilty. She was just wanting to get stronger… I probably scared her pretty badly… Damn this is all my fault!
Everyone looked at him with anger. He knew what they were thinking. He was a jerk, not to mention he said he thought she loved the guild. He accused her of lying and told her she didn't love the guild, which everyone knew wasn't true, heck even Natsu knew the most of all. He knew how much Lucy give up to save the guild, she would even give her life… And he said she didn't love everyone there.
"Have nothing to say? I won't waste my time talking to you..."
He saw the light he fell in love with shatter in front of him. He saw the light leave her eyes, and he heard the sound of the door slamming shut from the lacrima and how Lucy slid down the wall.
"I do love-" The lacrima shattered into a million pieces. Erza de-summoned her sword and looked at Natsu with the scariest face he had ever seen. "Go apologize… NOW!" She summoned 50 swords and they chased Natsu out of the guild. They went away after he was far away from the guild and close to Lucy's house.
Natsu looked up the building to see Lucy's window open. It was getting dark outside and he knew she wouldn't be up for long. He climbed up the window and looked at the blonde with guilt and sadness. She was writing on a piece of paper and she looked empty… It was all his fault Natsu thought to himself as he kept looking at Lucy. He felt a nudge from Happy who was behind him and Natsu did the hand gesture of 'I will see you later, now get out of here' and Happy flew home.
He quietly jumped down and sat on Lucy's bed. It made a creaking noise and he didn't care since he was going to say something after he sat down anyway. Lucy jumped and looked to the source of the sound only to look away after a glance in his direction. Natsu stood up. "Listen… Luce, I am really sorry" the blonde looked up at Natsu with surprise evident in her face. He continued anyway. " I know you left to get stronger, but I shouldn't have said those things. I know how much you love the guild and I was sad that you didn't say goodbye. I know you would die to save any of the members in the guild and I had no place to say you didn't love them…" She didn't answer just frozen in her place. "I will leave you alone now..." He turned around only to have a small hand grab his shoulder. He froze and didn't move a muscle. "You are sorry? Why should you be sorry? I was the one that left the guild without saying anything, and I was being a coward. I knew if I told you all, I would be too sad to leave, so I decided to leave without any word to you guys. This is all my fault, and I know why you were upset." She put some pressure on his shoulder gesturing him to turn around. He complied and looked at Lucy with a sad smile. "I probably scared you huh… That was a really awful thing to do to you..." he said. She smiled and they sat on the bed.
"Yeah, but I deserved it. I know how you get when you are angry!" They laughed and then looked at each other. None of them said a word and Lucy felt her face moving toward Natsu. He was doing the same and soon they could feel the heat from each other's breath. Their lips hovered centimeters apart, and they didn't move. "Screw this..." Natsu said and locked his lips with Lucy. It wasn't a tender soft kiss like Lucy had dreamed of, but it was better. This was a hot, Natsu like kiss, and Lucy wouldn't have it any other way. They pulled apart much to soon, and Natsu looked into Lucy's large brown eyes. The moonlight struck her face and made it angelic. She was a goddess and Natsu smashed his lips to Lucy's again, pulling apart for a second and then going back for more.
I know, I suck at doing lovey-dovey stuff, I am like Gray, but I love reading it and thought I would write some nalu in there as well! Practice makes perfect… Anyway, thank you for reading through my cringy story, and I hope you read some more of my stories! Cough cough, wink wink, nudge nudge. (Contamination is my favorite!) Bye fantastic readers!
