It's been a while. My life getting busier with new segment - nursing. I don't know how I got stuck with it. I'm still trying getting along with it. And it's tough.
BTW, today's (tonight at my place) new chapter. Hope you enjoy it!
They spent the whole morning in bed, and decided to have lunch late that evening. They went to a bar not far from where they rented. It was quite a small eatery with small stage for some entertainment. Not much customers at the moment they entered the place.
"One beer and one fresh orange," Sting told the bartender. The man nodded and quickly prepared the orders. The Sabertooth mage sat on a stool while waited for the orders. A pluck on guitar attracted his attention to the small stage.
"Hello," Lisanna greeted grinningly.
She corrected her seat and the guitar a musician lent on her lap. She glanced at the stern-face-Sting before started playing her song.
I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a lego house
If things go wrong, we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings, there's one thing on my mind
It's so full of you….hmm
And it's dark in a cold December but I got you to keep me warm
If you're broken, I'll mend you
And I keep you sheltered from the storm that raging on now
I'm out the touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And after all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And after all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers
And colour you in
If things go right we can frame it
Put you on a wall
It's so hard to say it
But I've been here before
Now I surrender up my heart and swap it for yours
I'm out the touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And after all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And after all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking,
And it's more than I can take
And it's dark in a cold December but I got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I'll mend you
And I keep you sheltered from the storm that raging on now
I'm out the touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And after all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And after all these things I've done
I will love you better now
The audiences were stunned for a few seconds before who-knows-who applauded and then the others followed. Lisanna bowed and gave the musician his guitar back. Some of the audiences requested for more songs, but the white-haired girl walked shyly toward her boyfriend.
"You've just got fans," he said as she sat next to him.
"I wonder if you're one of them," she uttered, and took a gulp of the orange juice. "Orange juice?" she asked when she realized her drinks. "I'm not seventeen. You are."
Sting chuckled.
"No one would believe that," he said, playfully hit his mug on her head. "And I'm not seventeen," he added.
She smiled. Carefully she rested her head on the table. Made Sting raised his brows.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
She nodded lightly. "Yea. Just a little dizzy. Did I do well?" she asked. However she didn't receive any answer from him. When she glanced at him, she saw his confused face. "Just now?" she added.
He snorted.
"It's not time for that. Come on. We'll get you some rest."
Sting offered her his back, demanded her to hop on it. Lisanna half-heartedly climbed on his back. He put some jewels on the table before leaving. Suddenly, one part of the bar's wall exploded, throwing people around it away, including the lovebirds.
The explosion which shocked everyone gave the bar dusted air. The broken bricks moved as the people beneath it moved. Sting pushed the bricks that covered them and pulled Lisanna out of the explosion after-effect.
"Are you alright?" he asked, brushed dust on her head. The girl nodded lightly. After that, he turned around and shouted, "Who the FUCK blew the wall off?!"
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Sting quickly covered the girl's body before it hit them. Another wall blew off and left a big hole in it.
"Natsu?" Lisanna spoke with surprise.
"Lisanna!" Happy flew toward her. Seeing the blue cat confirmed her suspicion. Not long after that, as the dust died down, the fire dragon slayer came into view. He glared at the two. Especially the Sabertooth mage.
Honestly, I don't know what Natsu actually felt right now. Maybe he is as confused as i am now.
p/s: I didn't own FT.
