"My crush is…."

"NATSU?! NATSU DRAGNEEL?!", a familiar voice shouted right next to me catching me off guard.

My heart jumped out of chest and into my throat as I turned around to see who was calling me.

I was not expecting to see one of my old childhood friends in front of me. But I did, I couldn't believe it, Lisanna Strauss, my childhood best friend, was standing in front of me.

I rubbed my eyes just in case I was hallucinating, but I wasn't, the white haired girl was still in front of me with her wide smile and shining eyes.

"It really is you!", she ran up to me and embraced me into a tight hug, practically squeezing me to death.

"L-Lisanna…?", I whispered still shocked from her appearance.

"Yup! It's me!"

She hugged me tighter making me wheeze.

"L-Lisanna I-I know that you're h-happy to see me believe me I am too but…...could you please let me g-go. You're kinda…...squishing me"

"Oh sorry!"

She released me from the hug letting me pant for air.

"It's been a while!", Lisanna said cheerfully as she smiled at me.

"Yeah I know I haven't seen you since fifth grade"

"Then would you maybe…...like to catch up?", she played with her bracelets around her arm as she averted her gaze from mines.

"Sorry Lisanna but I'm hanging out with-

I turned around and saw that Lucy was missing. She was nowhere in sight.

"Lucy…."

'When did she? She was right here just a second ago'

"Oh you mean the blonde? She left a couple of seconds ago"

"She did?!"

"Yeah, she left while we were hugging. I guess she didn't want to interrupt our reunion.

"Damn it! I wanted to spend more time with her"

"Aw I'm sorry did I interrupt?", she put on the most depressed face that anyone could muster up. Which made guilt rise up on my chest.

"O-Oh no! You're fine! I guess it kinda worked out…...because now I can catch up with you"

"Yay!", her depressed face immediately turned into a bright joyful one.

"Do you still live in the same house?", she asked as her and I started walking across the street.

"Yup! Wouldn't want to live anywhere else", I replied with a grin as I slumped both of my arms behind my head.

"Can I see? I want to see if anything's changed"

"Sure, but everything still looks the same"

"It might look the same to you but I bet something has changed"

"What? You don't trust me?", I said with a playful tone

"Nope!", she replied copying my tone.

'Yup! She's still the same old Lisanna'

…

"Wow! You were right! Our street still looks the same!", Lisanna exclaimed as she awed at the houses around us.

I couldn't help but chuckle

"What's so funny?"

"N-Nothing!"

"C'mon tell me!", she punched my arm playfully.

"It's just that you look really happy"

She pouted, "Is that a bad thing?"

"N-No it's not! It's a good thing, you have a very cute smile"

A small tint of pink coated her cheeks as she smiled.

"Thank you Darling"

"D-Darling?!"

"What?...I used to call you that when we were kids"

"Y-yeah but that was when we were little!"

"Doesn't matter, we're still married"

"M-Married?!"

'I feel like my heart is going to explode!'

"Don't tell me you forgot our wedding day too?"

"T-That wasn't a real wedding! That was just pretend!"

She giggled at my mortified face.

"I'm just kidding!", she continued to laugh which in return made me blush.

"Y-You're cruel"

"Ahh all that laughing made me thirsty"

"Then would you maybe like to come in?", I asked her as I pointed at my house.

"Sure! I can't wait to see your Dad! I bet he's still the same old Igneel"

Hearing her say that made me smile. I felt warm inside as my childhood began to resurface again.

I opened the front door of my house letting Lisanna in first.

"Welcome back! To casa de Natsu!"

I threw my backpack off to the side as I went in the kitchen to fetch Lisanna something to drink.

"So what'd you like to drink?"

"Water's fine"

"Are you sure? Because I have our favorite drink"

"You do?!"

I smirked, "Yup!"

"Then I'll have that please"

"Alright comin right up!"

I opened the fridge and pulled out two small pouches of apple juice.

'Phew! I thought there was only one left good thing Wendy didn't drink it'

I tossed the apple juice over to Lisanna and put the straw into mine.

"I still can't believe you have this", she said as she put her straw into her pouch.

"Why is it hard to believe that?"

"Because…...don't you think it's a little….childish?"

"What?! I can't believe you would say that! Juice is for men!"

'Oh Mavis I'm starting to sound like Mr. Strauss….Wait a minute! Isn't that Lisanna's brother?'

She giggled, "You're starting to sound a lot like my brother"

'He is! Then that would mean…..'

"Lisanna? Did your family move here?"

"Yup! Me and my three siblings came back because my brother found a job here"

"P.E. Coach right?"

"How did you know?"

"Because he's my P.E. Coach"

"You go to Magnolia?!"

"Yup"

"Yay! I'm not going to be alone!", she hugged me tightly, which caught me off guard, making both of us lose our balance.

SLAM

Both of us were on the ground, Lisanna was on top and I was below her. She didn't let go she just continued to look at my lips. And for some strange reason I imagined that Lucy was on top of me instead of Lisanna.

Her chocolate orbs looking back at mine, while she smiled her warm one of a kind smile.

But I was brought back to reality when my Dad burst into the room.

"I'm home! Natsu, Wen-

My Dad froze as he saw Lisanna and I in the position that we were currently in.

"Uhh….."

"Dad! It's not what you think!"

Lisanna and I jumped back up on our feet as we looked at my shocked Father.

"Yeah, Mr. Dragneel! Nothing was going o-on!", Lisanna said as she waved her hands frantically in front of her.

"I can't believe it….", he whispered as he continued to stare at the both of us.

"I'm having grand kids!"

"DAD!", I yelled while blushing a deep red.

"Why didn't you give me a heads up Natsu? I would've left you two lovebirds alone", he smirked.

"I told you it's not like that!"

"Whatever you say Son", his smirk was getting wider and wider by the minute.

"W-Well I got to go! It was nice seeing you two again!", Lisanna said as she hid her blushing face as she made her way to the door.

"What? Already?", my Dad and I said simultaneously.

"Yup, I'm really sorry but thank you for everything!", she bowed and waved at us.

"Bye! See you tomorrow at school Natsu!"

"See ya later", I waved back at her as I watched her leave the room.

"This is all your fault you know", I said to my Dad.

"How is it my fault?"

"Grandkids? Really?"

"What I was just trying to be cool"

"Yeah, well that was not cool"

"Whatever you say Son, you just can't accept the fact that I'm cooler than you"

"Yeah you're right"

"So where's your sister?"

"I don't know, I don't think she's here"

"WENDY!", my Dad and I both shouted in the empty house waiting for a response.

"Yes", a small timid voice came from the closet next to the front door.

"Wendy? Why are you hiding in there?"

The door opened and Wendy came out with a small blush on her cheeks.

"I-I didn't want to interrupt Natsu-nii and his….girl-

"No! Wendy you got the wrong idea, s-she's just a friend!", I said as I waved my hands frantically in front of me.

"See? I'm not the only one who thought that?", my Dad said as he shot a smirk at me.

"I don't like her like that", I sighed

'Besides I think I like another girl'

"Well whatever, I'm starving let's have dinner already"

"Yosh! Food!"

'Man today was a long day, I hope every day isn't like this'
