Chapter 4: 4months
"Uhhmm Luce?" Natsu stood in front of the blonde's house with a confused expression. Wasn't today his date with Lucy? Then why is?
"Yeah?" Lucy asked as she stood in front of the dragonslayer in her blonde glory. Her hair hanged down loosely around in soft waves as she had on dark jeans with her belt holding her keys and whip. Also she has on a white off the shoulder shirt with a sunflower decorating the middle. She stood there in her beauty looking at the dragonslayer with a guilty expression as if she was a kid. Natsu didn't know whether to laugh or kiss her.
"Wasn't today our …uhmm …date?" Natsu finally said a little embarrassed while he stared at the small orange and yellow haired boy holding Lucy's hand. The boy looked at Natsu and smiled deviously.
"Taiyo didn't want to go to the guild and he didn't want to stay home. And yesterday I kinda promised to take him out! I am so sorry Natsu!" Lucy said as she looked at him with a sad expression. Natsu sighed heavily as he looked away. He really wanted to be alone with Lucy not her and her son with him.
"Please uncle Natsu can I go with you and mommy!" Natsu looked down at the small boy with a wide eyes. The boy looked at him with big glittering colorful hazel eyes. Natsu narrowed his eyes at him what is he planning. But that face?
"Fine!" Natsu said making mother and child cheer in delight. Natsu watched as Lucy smiled widely at him as she grabbed his hand and led Natsu into town along with her son on her other hand. Natsu smiled at her talking excitedly. Maybe it won't be that bad with the boy here. I mean what's the worse he can do?
"So how was your seven year mission?" Lucy asked as they walked side by side along the brick streets of town.
"Oh IT WAS GREAT! I DEFEATED SO MANY DARK MAGES WHILE I WENT UNDERCOVER IN NINJA MODE!" Natsu talked on excited about his 7 year mission as Lucy walked beside him smiling happily. Natsu looks like a small boy again as he continued to talk about the mission with a smile on his face.
Taiyo stared angrily at the scene in front of him. The pink haired man talked to the blonde beauty non-stop about the adventures he had. Taiyo grew more angry with every step they took for his mom and the pink haired man were creating an atmosphere between them were no one can disturb their happiness. Taiyo hated it.
"Mommy! Can we go get ice cream?" Taiyo spoke sweetly yet loudly as he grabbed Lucy's hand making her stop talking to Natsu and give her undivided attention to her son. The blonde beauty smiled sweetly as she bent down to Taiyo's level.
"Same place?" She asked happily as she looked at the yellow and orange haired boy. Taiyo smiled happily as he nodded his head in yes. Lucy stood up straight turning to Natsu with a smile on her face. "Let's go get ice cream!" She said excitedly as she walked with Taiyo still holding her hand.
Natsu stared in confusion as he followed Lucy and Taiyo. They kept talking excitedly about the ice cream palor. Lucy even attempted to put Natsu in the conversation, but Taiyo would quickly say something to distract the blonde back to him. Natsu narrowed his eyes at the small boy talking happily with his mother. What is he planning?
"Taiyo, why don't you get us the ice cream while Natsu and I got look for some seats!" Lucy spoke once they stopped in front of the crowded ice cream parlor. The line to order was out the door from the light blue building while all the outside chairs and tables were taken by the customers eating their multicolored cold ice cream. Natsu stared in awe and confusion as he witnessed everyone around him talking happily as they ate their ice cream either sitting or standing some even talked happily as they waited in line. Lucy handed Taiyo some jewels for the ice cream as she told him what to get. "Know what to get?"
"Yeah!" Taiyo said happily and went to go make the line, but not before he gave Natsu a warning look.
"This place has the best ice cream in the world! You have to try it out, Natsu!" Lucy said happily as she led Natsu to an empty table with three chairs on the far right in the corner of inside the loud busy parlor. "It is always busy here like this! We are lucky we got this table!" She added as she and Natsu sat across from each other on the pink chairs with a small round table between them an empty chair sat next to Lucy as if waiting for Taiyo. "Sorry again that Taiyo had to come."
"It's fine, Luce! Anyways the boy is…." Natsu looked at the boy in line to see him staring right at them glaring then Natsu turned his attention to Lucy who was waiting for him to finish his sentence. "Interesting!" Natsu finished fake smiling widely at the happy blonde.
"That's good that you like him! I really want you guys to get along!" Natsu looked at the blonde confused. When did he say he liked the kid? Wait…
"Why you want us to get along?" Natsu asked the now surprised blonde. Lucy blushed as she realized she said her thoughts out loud.
"b-because…y-you know we are nakuma! I want everyone in the guild to get along with T-Taiyo c-cause you guys are my family! S-so I want you..I mean everyone to like my son!" Lucy stuttered as she smiled nervously refusing to look at the fire dragonslayer. 'Oh god! I don't want Natsu to know that I want him to get along with Taiyo because I am in love with him!' Lucy thought in panic as she averted her eyes to Taiyo who is now paying for the ice cream.
Natsu's Onyx eyes stared at the blushing blonde with an amused glint. He smiled his toothy grin as she still refused to look at him. She is acting like a teenager not a woman with a kid. Natsu wanted to laugh as he remembered the old days when she would get nervous for stuff like this and act just like that. He has to tell her and since the kid is busy he could do it now.
"Luce? There is something I need to tell you." Lucy turned her attention back to Natsu. She looked at Natsu's serious expression with a shocked face that was the same expression he put on yesterday before Taiyo came out of the guild crying. Lucy cocked her head to the side motioning for him to go on as her honey brown eyes stared into his onyx ones. "Luce..since the day I left for the mission I realized that I am.."
"MOMMY! I got the ice cream!"Taiyo announced out loud as he walked towards them with two cones of vanilla with rainbow sprinkles on one hand then a bright red ice cream cone with orange flames on his other hand. "I even got Uncle Natsu his to!" he said happily as he made his way to them.
"Natsu you'll love your ice cream! I told Taiyo to tell the owner to make a special one for you! Even though it looks cold but the ice cream is made of a special fire that turns it red and makes it look cold." Lucy said excitedly as she looked at Natsu with a sweet smile. The kind of smile that can stop a man's heart and make it beat faster.
"Ooops!" Lucy and Natsu turned towards the small boy who just trip on his foot just before he got to the table. Natsu watched with his eyes wide as if it was in slow motion at the red ice cream falling on his lap lighting his pants on fire due to the special fire that Lucy explained. Taiyo tried to hold in his laughter as Lucy freaked about the dragonslayer's lit pants. Natsu looked down noticing his pants stared wide eyes then quickly yelled. The people around stared with wide eyes at the scene in front of them.
"OH MY GOD, NATSU! YOUR PANTS!" Lucy exclaimed as she immediately dumped her ice cream on his pants immediately distinguishing the fire. Smoke when up as the dragonslayer sighed in content then his eyes widen as he screamed.
"AHHHH IT'S COLD MY PANTS ARE FREEZING!" Natsu ran around the ice cream parlor as he lit himself on fire hoping to warm himself up. Lucy looked at her now empty cone with confusion then at her now laughing son.
Taiyo couldn't hold it in anymore it was to funny. The small boy rolled on the floor as his stomach squeezed in pain due to the laughing. Natsu's surprised face when he felt the cold kept replaying in his head. It was too funny not to laugh at. Even the fact that he is running around the ice cream parlor screaming while he is on fire and melting all the ice cream cause of the heat made it even funnier. The boy failed to notice the angry dark shadow towering over him.
"TAIYO!" The small boy looked up at his mom in fear.
'Shit!' He thought as he tried to look down in shame.
"Really Taiyo! You gave me the ice cream the ice mage ice cream." Lucy scolded in rage as she walked along side Taiyo and Natsu back home. They got kicked out of the ice cream parlor because one Natsu melted all the ice cream in the store due to him running around while on fire. Then because there made a loud ruckus.
"What's the ice mage ice cream?" Natsu asked curiously as he looked at the annoyed blonde woman who glared at her son.
"The ice mage ice cream is a special ice cream that the owner made specifically for Gray. The ice cream is made from this special ice…"
"Don't want to hear the rest!" Natsu said waving it off while he glared at the small boy who glared back.
"Taiyo. Did you plan to drop the ice cream on his land for it to light on fire and then I put my ice cream to extinguish it?"
"No..I thought Uncle Natsu would eat the fire!" Taiyo spoke trying to look all innocent as he walked. But deep inside his head he is secretly plotted his plan that is going in effect as of now.
"Yeah, Natsu! Why didn't you just eat the fire? We could have avoided all this if you would have done that in the beginning." Lucy looked at Natsu with her arms crossed angrily. Natsu looked at the blonde shocked holding his hands in surrender.
"Hey! Don't put this on me your kid was the one that started it!"Natsu said in defense as his mood started to feel angry. He doesn't even know why he didn't eat the fire like always or why is he angry. Natsu remembered how during in the ice cream incident he felt something go in his mind and as if something clouded his mind not to think straight. Natsu's eyes immediately went straight to Taiyo. It has to be the boy doing this he is smiling and his eyes a clouded gray color. There is something going on.
"Don't put all the blame on him! You're at fault to! Now I can never go back to go get ice cream there! I like going there when I am in a bad mood and you ruined it! Like everything! Oh god it's just like when we were seventeen when you got us kicked out of my favorite coffee shop because you and Happy wanted to play with the coffee machines!"
"You know you wanted to play with it to!" Natsu accused as he stopped in front of Lucy with his arms crossed. She completely is blaming everything on him like it was his entire fault.
They stood in front of Lucy's apartment arguing back and forth about random things that made them mad about each other. Taiyo looked back and forth between the arguing couple holding his laugh in. It was going better than he could have imagined. All he had to do was rile Natsu's emotions to anger and made the atmosphere between them tense. It was so easy.
"I have never done anything that would hurt you!" Taiyo heard his mom yell at Natsu. Taiyo looked at the fight again focusing now at their words. He doesn't like where this is going now he can feel Lucy's pain and sorrow. This has to stop. Taiyo eyes turned more cloudy gray in concentration as he tried to calm the atmosphere and Natsu's mood.
"Really you sure about that! You remember 7 years ago the day I was leaving Magnolia for the mission you didn't come say bye to me at the guild. You made me and Happy believe you weren't going to come at all. Then I just hear you screaming while I was in the train cart and ran to the back cause I was frantic to see your face before I left. How do you think I felt when I had my last image of you was of you crying and waving at the station. Do you know how much that hurt me? That I had to wait 7 years to come see you again." Natsu exclaimed without thinking. As the last word left his mouth he immediately felt calmer yet guilty at the same time. His Onyx eyes widen in panic and regret as he saw a tear go down Lucy's cheek.
"Well I am sorry that I couldn't handle saying goodbye to the guy I was in love with. I didn't go to the guild cause I was too busy crying I even ignored you to get myself used to the idea of you not being there. And when finally I got the courage to say bye I was too late so I ran all the way to the train station. How do you think I felt waving goodbye to you not knowing if you were going to come back to me or not!" Lucy cried as she stared into the shocked Onyx eyes. Natsu and Taiyo stared at the crying blonde with shocked eyes and mouths open. The blonde just looked at the speechless Natsu with frustration. She basically confesses just now and he just stands there like a deer in headlights. "bye,Natsu!" Lucy said as she grabbed Taiyo's hand and went inside her apartment. With one last look at Natsu she sighed and closed the door behind her.
"Mommy!" Lucy turned to her son to see his eyes wide and white while his body glowed. Lucy sighed louder as she slapped her hand to her forehead as she let herself drop to the floor in exhaustion.
"Now?" Lucy sighed out loud as she stared at her son with a tired face. Taiyo's glow died down as his eyes went back to the hazel color they were originally. He walked to him mom going in her arms as she hugged him to her. Taiyo smiled softly as Lucy breathed out heavily hugging him closer. "How long will we be gone this time?"
"He said 4 months!" Taiyo answered as he looked down. There was more, but he doesn't want to tell her now. Not when she just had a fight with Natsu because of him.
"Fine! We better go pack! I'll think of something to tell the guild! Now go!" Lucy said shooing the boy to go start packing. Taiyo got up from his mom's arms and stood in front of her looking down to the floor. "We will talk later about what you did today! For now go pack!" Taiyo nodded knowing Lucy needs sometime alone right now. It's always like this before they leave to see them. "Time to get back to reality, Lucy!" She told herself as she got up to get ready to leave.
Next day….
Natsu walked into the busy guild hoping to look for the blonde who couldn't stop haunting his thoughts. The way her face was yesterday. The tears. The pointless fight they had. When she said she loved him. He couldn't say anything. He just stood there like an idiot just staring. Finally when he went home he felt like shit he couldn't sleep, eat, and not even find something to do. Her face was haunting his mind.
"Hey Natsu! How are you?" Mira asked once she noticed the pink haired man sit down on the bar stool. His face seemed down and tired as she looked at him concern. "What's wrong?"
"Had a fight with Lucy yesterday really bad! Do you know what time she comes that way I can talk to her?" Natsu asked not even bothering keeping it in from her. She will find out anyways.
"Lucy left, Natsu! She won't be back for 4 months!"
"What! Wait what for?"
"CANA! I SWEAR IF YOU TOUCH THAT BEER BARREL I WILL NOT HESITATE TO BAN ALCHOL FOR THE WHOLE GUILD TO!" Mira yelled as she walked to the pregnant brunette who tried to grab the barrel of beer.
"CANA!" The whole guild yelled upset knowing how serious Mira was when it came to that.
"4 months?" Natsu whispered in confusion. "What's going on?"
