For "Love"

Wake up.

Natsu suddenly and abruptly sitting up in a daze, gasping for air as he attempts to catch his breath. Turns out, he had been... meditating..?

Unfortunately, in an attempt to subdue into a peaceful afternoon, he'd zoned out in the very ice-cold bucket he would try to escape reality from, and lost a catch of breath.

Apparently, the reason he'd decided to make a sorry attempt at meditation was because of the dream he had last night. Had it been bothering him for what felts like years, but was only a few hours.

His dream was not a returning dream, but a returning memory.

"Lucy?"

The very thing the dream was about. Her pale face, washed away eyes. blurred memories started to burn into the very part of his brain he didn't want it to. Her profile coming to a blur, as if it were a dusted off old photograph.
Her hair blowing behind her nape.

"Natsu!"
"Natsu!
"Nat-"
As he slapped his forehead in frustration,
He'd begun Thinking. Deeply.

"Damn it! All of it! Why? Why now did she decide she wanted to be stuck in my head again? After all the years of me attempting to forget her... WHY?!"

Compared to all the years that passed by, this was the most frustrated he's been seeing this supposed "Lucy" flashing in his thoughts, his mind seeming like a million cameras reacting, milliseconds away from the next.

As he storms into the next room, he would then go under a desk to pull out.. a photo album...

With all his anger, grimace and grief did he rip out the pages of him and "Lucy" whilst crying tears. Tears that yearn for the answer as to who this woman was and why he feels so much pain in his heart when he hears her name.

Did he only not rip out a singular piece of the photo album where they were together, the words on the back of the picture stating:

"September 12th, 2009"

The exact date as to when they first "met".

Time felt as if it slipped through its own fingers, going so fast Natsu couldn't even take time to fully fathom what get like artificial moments he was with this "Lucy" woman. Lost in the sea of thoughts.

The friend left astray decides to go on a walk to clear his mind. A route where he thinks him and "Lucy" have never been together, to forget about her.
