[ EPISODE ELEVEN ]
✮
i rushed into my apartment and headed straight for the bedroom, not even sparing a second to turn the lights on as i quickly opened the locked drawer of my bed side table. i held my face tight with my left hand as i pulled out a bottle with my right and flicked the lid off. throwing my head back, i downed two of the tablets dry. finally the headache was subsiding with immediate effect as the feeling returned to my leg. i breathed a sigh of relief, dropping my gaze to the floor, very aware at the fact that if i was any later then it would've gotten worse.
"i guess that's an end to taking anymore jobs." i quietly whispered to myself as i put the bottle back into its place. i picked myself up and sat down on the edge of the bed, bringing my leg up as i carefully removed the cast that mirajane had so nicely wrapped around it. i stared at the limb, twisting my ankle around that was once shattered and unmovable only hours ago, now fully healed and mobile, when it should have taken at least a month to heal.
"maya!" my eyes widened in surprise when i heard a voice coming from outside. i threw the cast under my bed before walking over to the window, pushing it open and looking down to see natsu standing by the front door. "what happened? you scared me when you just left like that." the boy whined, pouting his lips playfully, but i could tell he was doing it to hide his worry. it wouldn't surprise me with his dragon slayer hearing that he had caught bits of my conversation with lucy before i suddenly left.
"i'm fine." i smiled, feeling bad for worrying the boy. "come up, i'll make some tea." i didn't wait for a response as i shut the windows and headed back inside. it had been a while since natsu and i had spent time together like this. he frequently visited my apartment back in the days with lisanna, and we continued to do it after as comfort and in memory of lisanna, but at some point it stopped.
i had to admit though, since everyone was always busy on jobs, it was harder to spend time with my peers as we got older. i was kind of glad when mira had stopped taking on jobs because i finally had someone with me all the time, and not just in passing. don't get me wrong, i love the master to bits, but he is just an old man at the end of the day.
i couldn't help but smile at my fond memories growing up with fairy tail. i had learnt what love from a family was after i had met them, they had all taught me so much even when i caused them nothing but trouble.
