Chapter 2
"Huh.."
That's all the blonde was able to say to the people that stood in front of her with her wide eyes. She looked into the eyes of the pink haired man who stood straightly in front of her silent not talking a single word as his mouth fell open when he saw her. She did not know what should she say because of her shock. "Lucy" suddenly Lucy found arms wrapped around back her hugging her tightly and it was Erza's one. "I missed you so much"
"E-Erza" around a half minute later the redhead released her then she looked at her eyes smiling with a gleamy eyes.
"Lucy" she heard someone calls her and then she looked at the voice's direction to find that it was the blue haired man Jellal. "Where were you this long?" Lucy didn't answer immediately but instead of that, she looked at the pink haired man to find him still staring at her without talking a single word. Lucy felt really confused, seeing her friends in some occasion like that and she also didn't know why did they come? Or how did they know that she lived here? She glanced again at Natsu to find his head lowered and he started to look at the ground. Before she could answer the blue haired she heard a voice of the pink haired little Haru calls 'Daddy' from the inside of the house. She twisted her body to look at him when suddenly she found him jump on Natsu's arm. She looked into Natsu's eyes while he was looking at the ground and wrapping one arm around his son.
"Daddy" the little child looked at his father's face. "What's wrong? What are those injuries?" he asked looking with worried eyes at the pink haired father. Natsu forced a small smile on his face and patted the little child's head.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me" he said. The silence spread in the place that's when the scarlet haired decided to broke the silence.
"Lucy, you didn't answer us?" the redhead caught her attention making her head snaps towards her. She glanced at the right side of the blonde's legs to find a small blond boy grabbing Lucy's cloth of the dress with his small hand curling it in a small fist. "Is he.. your son?" Erza asked looking at the cute little kid. Lucy grabbed the little kid's hand looking down at him.
"Uh.. this is.. Ryu" she looked up at them again trying to avoid looking at the eyes of Natsu even though he was looking down at the ground. "He is my son" stated the blonde and then Natsu looked at her immediately. Erza looked at Natsu who was looking at her old friend Lucy trying to read his face and then looked at Lucy.
"How cute is he" she smiled playing with the boy's hair. Getting annoyed of that, he removed her hand instantly.
Lucy looked at Natsu "And.. Haru is?" she asked.
Natsu returned his bangs to the back taking a deep breath and trying to act normal. "He is my son" he looked at Lucy. The four of them stayed silent for a moment not knowing what should they say in this awkward moment.
Erza then decided to talk "It's good to see our old friend from the college again" she smiled grabbing the hand of her friend earning a soft smile. "We have to meet again"
"Yeah" Natsu finally broke his silence looking at the blonde and forcing a smile on his lips acting that he is superman who didn't give a damn to a single thing, yet. Lucy forced a smile back acting the when Erza and Lucy raised their mobiles and started to memorize the other's number. They walked towards the car waving their hands to say good bye.
Natsu and his son sat on the behind chair, Erza and Jellal on the front. As they entered, the cute little Haru slept immediately on his father's arm while Natsu kept looking the whole way from out of the window. He kept silent, looking at those people who are aging everyday remembering his old life and how he was such an.. idiot, for him. And how can be this twisted world.
"Natsu" the blue haired called the pink haired as he stood straightly in front of the car's door holding it for him to get out from the car. "We reached your villa" Natsu was sinking deep in his own world and snapped his head towards Jellal when he heard him calling his name and he wasn't able to realize that they had already reached his place. Natsu got out from the car slowly as he propped his hand on the car's roof edge.
"I will carry him" the blue haired said as he found Natsu was about to carry the little child while he was injured and anyone could do the same. Natsu walked with a little help from the scarlet haired towards his villa's door. Natsu stood in front of his door unaware of what's happening around him. The both adults shared a look while Natsu was standing between them not knowing what's wrong with the pink haired and why did he became so cold and not talking a single word. He seemed to be frozen in his place.
"Natsu" the redhead grabbed her friend's shoulder shaking him a little to wake him up and return the awareness to him. Natsu raised his head to look at her like his face was saying 'What's wrong?' without him even speaking a single word. "The villa's keys" she stated looking worried in his eyes. The scarlet haired stretched her arm to the salamander to take the keys from him. He handed her his key and returned to the same position he was in and sank again deep in his own world.
The blue and the red haired stood in front of the pink haired who was sitting down on his own bed looking at him while he was looking at the ground. They had put the little pink haired in the bed and went to check on their friend who seemed to be dead. "Natsu" Jellal called putting his arms on his waist. Natsu took a deep breath from his mouth and raising his head to look at his friends.
"I'm fine" he stated looking at the closet of his and then he stood up opening it to get a new t-shirt. "Go"
"How can you be fine? You look like you are drunk and you didn't even smell the scent of it today!" Jellal continued ftaking a step away from his old place. Erza kept silent looking at his back and crossing his arms together.
"I'm.." he said again making Erza take steps to the front.
"Natsu.. years ago, you and her broke up for unknown reason." she said making him pause in what he was doing. "Is that unknown reason hurts you so much that made you seem like you are drunk and not aware in what happens around you?" she asked trying to figure what the hell is happening to her strong, mighty and unable to break friend?!
Natsu stayed silent instead of answering her, he stared at his clothes grabbing the hem of his shirt not even sounding his breath. "Natsu" Erza grabbed his shirt from the back trying to make him focus in what she was doing. "Natsu, you won't be hiding this thing from us for the rest of your life!"
"Nothing!" he answered immediately. "Nothing happened, I.. I'm just shocked of seeing her after those years" he tried to justifies for himself and who knows if it was the truth or not. Before Erza could say another thing to him, her shoulder was grabbed by her boyfriend to stop her from saying something it wasn't the right time to say. When she looked at his face, he shook his face to say 'no, it's not now'. Erza sighed and returned her hair and bangs to the back with both her palms taking a deep breath trying to get rid of the nervousness.
"Okay, I'm fine, I got rid of the anger" she said feeling heat in her face and swinging her hands to get cool air on her red cheeks. After finishing what she was doing, she looked at the pink haired again trying to control that anger that was about to pop again. "We will be going now" she said trying to getting his attention. "We will meet tomorrow" she paused staring at his back. "And I hope, you get rid of your silence" and with that the both left the salamander in his own room still holding the hem of the shirt. As he heard the door close, he left the shirt opening his mouth as his old memories slowly came to his mind.
Flashback
"This is great, imagine that we graduated from the college" the redhead stated happily looking at her friends wrapping her arm around the back of her friend the blonde Lucy. She was wearing the graduation robe and her hat was held by her other hand. The pink haired Natsu wrapped his arm around his girlfriend Lucy.
"Yeah, we are adults now!" he said throwing his hat to the top giggling. Natsu fell to the ground while he was looking at the ground still laughing and giggling from the top of his lungs. He closed his eyes feeling relieved around of his friends, well, not only Lucy and Era were there. There were Gray the black haired man who is currently is working in the same company as Erza, Jellal and Natsu, and Juvia who is currently a house wife.
"You alright?" the blonde asked sitting down on her knees next to her boyfriend looking at him with worried eyes. Natsu raised his thump still closing his eyes and wearing a toothy grin on his lips. He opened his eyes looking into the blonde's eyes. He stretched his arm to reach her cheek and cups it in his palm.
"Finally" he gave her a warm smile. Lucy as an answer, she grabbed his hand and kissed his palm.
"Yeah" she said looking into his eyes "finally."
"Hey, guys" their head snapped towards the voice's direction to see that it was the black haired Gray wrapping his arm around his girlfriend's shoulder.
"We will be going to have a party, you will come?" the blue haired Juvia asked looking at the couple who was sitting down at the ground.
"No, this day is special for us, we will spend it together" they answered together earning a smile from Juvia.
"Ok, have fun"
"You too"
