The Past We Shared {Book 1 of the "Tortured Fates" series Fairy Tail FF AU}

2: Keep Her Safe

Hey guys, second time writing this because Wattpad deleted th first time, but I like the second time better lol.

Also, the previous part... was a complete disaster.

The first half of the chapter was all present tense, the second half all past tense.

So, I found out that it is so much easier for me to write in present tense, so imma just keep rolling with present tense for now kk?

Love you guys, and you are AMAZING MWAH!

================================

Lucy's P.O.V

As I rock Nashi into her dreams, the letter me and Natsu received from Zeref still haunts my mind and flocked my stomach with waning nausea.

The thought of not having Nashi was enough for me for my blood to boil, though also to make me feel a sense of weakness, knowing that-Mavis forbid-Zeref does come after Nashi, I honestly don't know if we could stop his attack.

I sigh, then look down to see the scrunched up face of my baby. I smile and kiss her little forehead before standing up from the rocking chair and sauntering over to her crib, where I wrap her in an extra blanket before lying her down.

I reach in, giving her one last kiss before straightening my posture and pressing a button on her mobile that played a soft, lighthearted tune. I flick off the lamp next to her crib then catch one more glance at my baby.

"Goodnight my darling."

I finally exit her room, then walk down the short hall and into me and Natsu's room. The lights are still on, and I see Natsu sliding off his shirt and running a hand through his pink (salmon, as he calls them.) locks.

I approach from behind, then wrap my arms around his bare torso. I hear him sigh, then he breaks my grasp and turns around, picking me up. I wrap my legs around his waist my arms around his neck as he hugs me tightly.

We remain there for Mavis only knows how long, before he leans down and kisses me tenderly. I take this chance to run my fingers through his soft hair, and his grip on me only tightens.

We break our kiss, both of our lungs stinging with lack of oxygen. My lips are drawn to his once more, the second kiss not lasting nearly as long as the first.

I finally unwrap myself from him, though he doesn't release my waist as he nuzzles my hair.

"Luce?"

"Hm?"

"What if... What if Zeref really does want Nashi...?"

His question shocks me, for I actually take notice of the small shake in his voice.

I sigh, then break from him once and for all, the air now lingering with tension as I have no answer to his rather simple question.

I cup his cheek, and he leans into it, his onyx eyes staring at me with a sense of desperation. I feel the hot sting of tears form in my eyes, and our once romance filled, passionate moments are officially over.

"I... I don't know." is the only answer I offer, for the true answer is something I am unable to fathom.

Tears stream down my cheeks for the first time today, as I finally let go of all the emotion I had been keeping from everyone the whole day.

Natsu doesn't hesitate in wiping away my tears, then he slowly pulls me into his chest, allowing me to use his shoulder to cry on.

As soon as the tears stream out of my eyes in almost a flood (Not like Juvia though) they dry up. I no longer feel sadness, I feel anger. I feel wrath.
