The E.N.D [FT Nalu Fanfic]

Part Three

LUCY'S POV

*drip drop drip*

I was taking a long shower. Drips of water fell down my delicate skin. I was staying in the shower for a while now. Everything that happened all felt like a dream, it won't sync in my mind. I let out a sigh of depression and stepped out the shower. Taking a clean towel and covered my wet body.

"Etherias-sama." The maids who seemed like demons said. They were leaning avoiding my gaze.

I looked right and then left. I blinked a couple of times and looked at them again.

"Are you talking to me? W-Who's Etherias?" I asked, in my information, my name is Lucy Heartfilia.

"It is you, Etherias-sama. We prepared your clothes to wear. And Lord E.N.D wishes to see you."
E.N.D oh.. They mean Natsu.

"Do you want us to help you wear your clothes Etherias-sama?"

"W-what? I can handle it by myself...! Umm.. Thankyou!"

I waited for them to leave and then took out the clothes they prepared for me. The clothes was rather strange, but I wore it. I took a deep breathe before stepping out of the bedroom.

I gulped. And started walking, where am I suppose to meet Natsu?

'At the garden, Luce. I'll guide you on you way.' A person who sounds like Natsu said inside my head.

That's funny. I almost thought I'm hearing voices in my head. I must be really tired.

'You're not hallucinating. It's me.'

'Oh. Sorry.' It seems like my feet brought me to the garden without knowing it. The garden was unbelievably beautiful. The castle may be really worn and dark but in my opinion, the garden was the best part.

I searched for him. I walked around until I saw him looking at his reflection on a pond.

"Oh. Lucy, you're here." He let out a small smile.

Somehow, just seeing him smiling like that, made me forgot the darkness and the pain.

"Natsu..."

"Give me your hand." I looked at him without any doubt and raised my right hand. He held it into his big ones. And let go, on my palm revealed a pinkish rose. I smiled.

"Thankyou."

"Lucy." He called, I considered this moment really peaceful.

"Are you scared of me?" He asked stepping back making a distance between us.

"I..." I said in a whisper. I really don't know. I know he became a demon and maybe one of Zeref's creations. But why am I not frightened seeing him? He even made me smile. I faced him and looked directly through his eyes. I can't read his expression but he was calm.

"Of course I'm not. Even if you changed into demon or whatever, as long as you're Natsu, I won't be scared of you no matter what."

It made him changed his expression and smiled.

'I made the right decision.' He said to himself. He went near me and cupped my cheek as he leaned down.

"I like you Luce. No. I love you. I want you to be beside me through everything. I want to be the person to love and cherish you for being you. Be my Queen." He confessed.

My heart started to beat faster. I feel like my heart will go out inside my chest.

"Natsu... Let me think first, okay?"
