I Married the Runaway Bride | NaLu Fanfiction

Chapter 7: Frame

"Welcome to 8island!" I greeted, wearing a white bunny suit while holding a signboard taller than me.

Like what I've planned before I ran away, I found something that could help me live even without my father. I know Natsu's my husband now, but I can't just rely on him, right? Since I got a same afternoon class as him and have nothing to do at house in the morning, it would be better if I spend my time to something worth it.

A job!!!

Even though wearing this bunny attire was so much embarrassing, the pay was good. Besides, I have the lightest job because I'd only stand on the entrance and greet everyone entering the establishment, so I guess I don't have the rights to complain.

"Bunny-san! Can I take a picture with you?"

"E-Eh?" Except for circumstances like this.

I stared at the guy in front of me, probably a year or two younger. And he's not the first one who asked for a photo with me. Kids, highschoolers, and even girls on my age who were going to this place are not an exception. I've thought maybe it's fine to give what they wanted, since they're all customers.

It's the purpose of wearing this bunny clothes, after all. To appeal.

But as the days passed by, only two days to be exact, I've noticed that Natsu had been calling out by the manager lately because of his mistakes.

And I think I already know the reason...

"O-Okay..." After making sure that Natsu was not around, I took the opportunity to smile at the camera and tenen! The picture's done!

"Thank you!" The boy exclaimed, a blush on his cheeks. "You're cute, nee-san! Let's go!" And he quickly pulled his friends inside.

My shoulders fell as I let out a sigh of relief. Phew... Thank god Natsu wasn't--

As if I was inside a fridge, chills covered my body as I felt that familiar piercing stares. Slowy, my head turned as I looked over my shoulder. My eyes widened when I saw Natsu on a near table, obviously ignoring what the customers were saying.

He's glaring at me too much!!!

"Dragneel! What the heck are you doing?!" I heard Yajima-san shouted from the kitchen door. Geez, what's wrong with him...?

••✾••

"Good work, my bunny!" Natsu exclaimed as he patted my head, grinning too wide as a sign that he's not on his bad mood anymore. "Gramps Yajima was so happy to see new customers entering this restaurant..."

He looked inside the 8island still full of customers. Well, it's normal considering it's lunch time already. But, it also means our terms are done. "Though the fact that most of them are boys annoys me."

I removed his hand on my head, puffing my cheeks in slight irritation and embarrassment after remembering what's bothering me for days. "Would you please stop watching me while in the middle of a job?!"

He only raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with it?"

Seriously?!! "It's all wrong! You'd only make more mistakes and you could lose your job!"

"I won't let that happen," he grabbed my wrist as we walked towards one of the outside tables. While I only groaned because I couldn't walk properly with my bunny shoes. I forgot to bring spare clothes!!!

"Then stop keeping an eye on me all the time!"

"Whatever."

After sitting, I quickly searched for my clothes that I had worn before we went here early in the morning, hoping that I could just wear it back since I'd still take a nice bath later before going to school.
