Nalu Week 2015

Day 6: Glory Days

This is a sequel to the first bonus day, Shine. It's told in Natsu's point of view. (Warning I haven't written in first person for at least a few months so this might be bad.)

•~•~•~•

Those were the glory days...

The days where we would live life carelessly, going on missions and not caring what obstacles stood in our way. We would just venture further, with Happy by our sides.

•~•~•~•

I remember calling her to the Sakura Tree one day, the same tree that I wanted Virgo to dig up. I was going to confess to her that day, but I chickened out. I was a coward and I regret it even now. If I would have told her, would she still be here. Would that somehow have stopped what happened that day. I doubt it. But just maybe...

•~•~•~•

I walk down the familiar path that I walk everyday. I go to visit her, all the time. It makes me feel like she's still here, but I know she isn't. It's been four years already...she isn't coming back....

•~•~•~•

I remember asking Mira about the strange fluttery feeling I got whenever I saw her smile. Her bright, beautiful smile that I longed to see everyday when I entered the guild. She told me it was a special feeling, I didn't understand it at the time, but now I get it. That feeling was love.

•~•~•~•

Tears run down my cheeks as I near her headstone. A sad reminder of what I failed to protect. You'd think by now I would get used to it, life without her. But for some reason, I can't. Though it's reality, I can't imagine myself without her next to me. Alive.

Sometimes I even go through old pictures in the guild library. Levy comes with the me too most of the time. We'd point out all the moments we remembered, and talk about what happened that day. Even Gajeel joined us once, pointing out a picture from the first day he joined Fairy Tail. Recalling how amazed he was that she actually forgave him, even though he half-beat her to death.

Levy and Gajeel are married now, and she's too busy raising her daughter to look at pictures with me. Now I go alone....alone...

•~•~•~•

I still remember one of the greatest days of my life, the day I brought her to Fairy Tail. The day I gave her a family, a loving family that would always be there for her. Later, when I learned about her father, and all the pain he put her through. I realized that bringing her to the guild must have meant a lot to her. She hasn't had a real family for years, I can't even begin to imagine what that would feel like.

•~•~•~•

Placing down the bundle of red roses on her grave, I began to say a few things. Thinking that maybe, just maybe, she'll hear me.

When I leave, I glimpse over the name engraved into the cold, marble grave.

Lucy Heartfilia

•~•~•~•

Most of all I remember her dying in my arms. A feeling I'll never forget.

The feeling of brokenness...
The horrible feeling of not being able to do anything...
The feeling...of losing your love...

Wellll...I've never written anything like that before. So did you like it? Hate it? Tell me in the comments. I don't know why I chose this style for the topic, but it seemed to fit...him remembering all the good times they've had together.

Anyways, thanks for reading!
