Chapter 4
Natsu (POV)
"Where have you been…." my mother scolded me while knuckling my head. "Oww mom I just brou…." I explained but was ignored when she saw Lucy.
"Oh Lucy dear its been I awhile since I saw you how you dear. Oh you must to be freezing cold, what was that stupid son of mine thinking playing around in the rain." my mother rambled on and on so glad to see Lucy again. Wow I feel so acknowledged here.
"Why don't you go dry yourself up and bunk with Natsu," my mother had kindly persisted.
"Umm…how about I just sleep on the couch?" Lucy nervously suggested.
"Oh no dear you are a guest you shouldn't sleep there,"
"BB-but,"
"No buts! Natsu go help Lucy get comfortable,"
~Natsu's Room~
"Here's my shirt and some pants," I said as I handed her the dry clothes.
"Thanks," she blushed and grabbed the clothes.
It wasn't the first time Lucy had to sleep over here but that was only when we little kids. I'm not surprised she had refused my mother's offer because we aren't as close friends like we use to be in the past. She used to do a lot of things with me but soon Lucy and I distanced ourselves from each other when I started getting more popular, while she became the nerd of the school. To be honest, I do miss spending my time with her. Instantly, the bathroom door open and Lucy came out. She was only wearing my black shirt that was barely 3 inches above her knee. Damn she so cute, I didn't even know she had such a big chest. She must have covered it with those oversized clothes.
"DD-don't stare," Lucy blushed and stretched the hem of the shirt a bit more down.
"Here's your pants, they were a bit too big for me" she said handing me the pants.
~Later~
"You sleep on right side and I'll sleep on the left side, okay." Lucy recommended, still blushing.
"Fine," I said as I went to lie down in my spot.
~A few minutes~
I couldn't sleep so I took a glance at how Lucy was doing but when I did she had already fallen asleep. She looked like an angel with the moon's light reflecting onto her precious face. Not to mention her scent was making me crazy, it was vanilla mixed with some strawberries. Dammit why does she have smell so good? Suddenly she tumbled over to my side and I could hear her trembling so I ended up hugging her and she stopped trembling. That's when I feel asleep because I knew she was there with me.
~Early in the morning~
"Ohh they look so cute together," Grandine squealed while taking pictures of Lucy and Natsu sleeping together.
"I can't wait until they see this in the future," Grandine silently chuckled to herself as she quietly left the room.
~Morning~
I woke up but I found myself hugging a pillow instead of Lucy. Muah guess she woke up early. Quickly, I took a shower and fixed myself to look presentable and went downstairs. Yet I something smelled so good for once which was weird. It had better not be mom because she could just not cook. Your probably wondering why we don't have any maids or cooks making our meals, well it was because the all the cooks could not handle me and my dad's appetite so that's why everyday me, Wendy, and my father have to eat our mother's horrible cooking.
"Good morning Natsu-san," Wendy excitedly said.
"Good morning to you too, Wendy"
"So you finally decided to wake up huh," my father teased.
"Shut up, old man." I shouted as we all headed down.
~Table~
"Hello dearies," my mother welcomed.
"So mom what are you cooking today," Wendy asked trying to be enthuastic.
"Oh I'm not cooking today, Lucy is" we all sighed in relief while mom kept rambling on how Lucy was so kind enough to cook for the whole family and let her have a rest from cooking.
"Breakfast is ready," Lucy said as she put the food on the table. (She changed into dry clothes that Grandine lended her. Here's the link to Lucy's outfit art/page-1-542460532 )
"Wahh it's so yummy, Lucy-san"
"Irwts sew gorwed, (It's so good)" my father said munching the pancakes down.
"Yerah theiou arljo the berwt, (Yeah their the best)" I mumbled as I drown down the sausages.
"Uhh thanks" Lucy responded.
~Breakfast finished~
Lucy (POV)
"You should cook for us more often Lucy, "Igneel suggested.
"Sure Igneel" I hesitantly agreed.
"What you don't enjoy my cooking" Grandine scolded Igneel.
"No it's just….yes we don't mother" Wendy claimed
"I know, I can't even eat it anymore so I'm going to take some cooking classes" Grandine confessed while we were all glad she wasn't mad.
"Ne Lucy-san can you go with us to the carnival?" Wendy asked
"Umm sorry Wendy but I have something to do today," I kindly rejected.
"It's okay Lucy-san," Wendy said as she tried to smile. I'm sorry Wendy, I'd love to go but…
"Good-Bye Grandine, Igneel, Wendy, Natsu!" I exclaimed as I left the house.
I know it was rude of me to decline Wendy's offer but I just couldn't bear to be fated to Natsu anymore. It's true that we were childhood friends but he and I can't love each other. And yes I admit I actually loved him with my whole heart however our love is just forbidden. I was actually glad I saw the red string of fate wrapped between us, still he deserved someone better. Besides my plan was working because now the red string around us was barely there anymore. I'm sorry Natsu!
