The History Behind Us (nalu)

TWENTY EIGHT

Hey guys! It's been awhile...
I'm so sorry about the wait, my life kinda unraveled the past few months.
I'm back not though and wrote an extra long chapter to make up for it!
Enjoy!

——————————————-

Recap

Lucy splits up from the rest of the group and wanders off with Lisanna to meet her new mystery guy.

Lisanna tells her she is nervous about this girl Evergreen, and Lucy helps scope out things ultimately finding out that Evergreen was trying to get with Lisanna's brother, and lisanna had nothing to worry about.

Lucy gets a moment alone with Bickslow, and we learn his true intentions and feelings towards Lisanna.

You receive a text from Natsu, and depart from Lisanna and her new friends to go find him.

We ended off with Lucy and Natsu leaving the group back at the festival to go scoop up Warrod so he had time to see the fire works.

Lucy's POV

As Natsu and I walked together to the nursing home, we witness the sun start to descend from the heavens, and down away from our Earth. As it did, I couldn't help but tune out the world and just admire the fresh palate of colors that the sky started to form.

My concentration breaks when Natsu chuckles and nudges my arm

"Hey, want to record the sunset for our assignment?" He says noticing what I'm in awe of.

I nod my head in response and smile.

About 7-10 more minutes pass and we finally arrive at the nursing home.

"Took you kiddos long enough" Warrod grins waiting for us outside.

"We are right on time!" I snicker back.

"Could've been a little early, you're the young ones." He teases

Natsu laughs and acknowledges the old man, "Come on Mr, Time to go see some kick ass fire works."

The three of us walk together, Natsu and I each on one side of Warrod.

It's funny how much has changed over the span of a couple months. I now have someone I trust enough to introduce to my only remaining family, and even better to also help take care/hang out with them. I have a big unconventional friendgroup, but with unconditional love and loyalty to one another. I made amends with girls who bullied me for years. I have a boyfriend. I got to go on TV for an interview, and so so so much more.

I start to tear up thinking about all the changes I endured when Natsu notices.

"Lucy? Something wrong."

"Yeah! I was just thinking about how happy I am to spend tonight with you both." You partially lie.

You were so excited to spend tonight with them as well as all your friends, but you didn't want them to know the real reason you were tearing up was because you were so internally grateful that you and Natsu were partnered up for a stupid History project. Or else this would've never happened to begin with.
