"IamsosorryIletyougoonthatjobwiththestupidicebastardandwatermage." He immediately sprouted out, and stood up with a sigh.
'Wait. You're joking. He wasn't going to propose but apologize instead?' A wave of disappointment washed over you, and you tried not to let it show.
"Slow down." You manage. "It's okay, don't worry about it." You let out a half-hearted smile. "What's in the box?"
He brightened. "Oh, it's another small clip for your hair. I gonna return it, and buy another one."
"Another..one?" You faintly ask, trying not to boil with rage. "And why would you wanna do that?" You calmly ask.
Plume muttered, "Bakamono." And left the table, glaring at Natsu the whole time. Natsu, being the guy he was, couldn't sense the atmosphere at all.
Happy lifted himself up. "Pluuume? Where'ya going?" And he followed Plume away, as she flew out of the kitchen, her head held high.
"Huh? Where are they goin'?" He asked, his eyebrow perched high, twisting around to look back at them. 'Natsu, I wanna strangle you so bad.'
You stared at his head, almost boring a hole with your eyes. You sighed, "thanks for the presents."
He gave you a thumbs up.
'You freaking idi- or am I the idiot for expecting these things?'

"Hey. Why do you look so glum?" Levy popped up next to you at Fairy Tail, her messy blue hair tied in a bandanna.
Levy had received a promise ring from Gajeel a few months ago. 'Honestly..they're so cute.'
"It's nothing~" You easily say, but once Natsu turned the other way to talk to Lucy, you immediately pulled Levy to a corner and started whispering.
"The thing is..I thought Natsu was going to propose to me." You quietly say, letting go of her hand.
She gasps, and her face lights up. "Yes, and!?" She eagerly asks, stepping forward in the process.
"Nothing." You shake your head. Her expression turned furious. "What do you mean nothing! This is like those bad romance novels!"
"Wait. You mean he didn't-" She paused, when she saw your gaze. "Oh.." She gave you a quick warm hug. "Don't worry. I was rushing too. Just slow down, (Y/N)."
You tilt your head. "Slow...down?" You gave her a grateful smile. "Thanks, Levy."
She waved back. "Anytime."
You walked back to your seat, your head whirring with thoughts. 'Am I really going too fast?'
"Natsu.." You touched his back, as he was speaking to Lucy. He immediately stopped talking.
"Yeah?" He asked, twisting around to smile at you. "I'll be at the park. So you can leave for home anytime."
He nodded.
You left, your eyes passing Mae's memorial. You closed your eyes for a moment, as you walked on, a small smile on your face.
"Oh Mae.." You muttered, staring up at the blue sky, as you neared your destination; the park.
You immediately spotted small children playing in the swings. You suddenly wished for Lucas to be here.
You settled under the shade of a tree, leaning against it's rough bark. 'What do I do? Think about life now?'
