The promise made but never kept

Chapter Twenty Seven

Once we got home, Natsu opened the door on my side and carried Romeo on his back.

"Come on, Lucy." He held his hand out to pull me up.

I stood up and rubbed the sleep off my eyes then headed straight to the bathroom to change my clothes.

Natsu walked in while I was brushing my teeth.

"Where's Romeo?" I asked.

"Guest room." He stated simply.

"Shouldn't you be the one in the guess room?" I chuckled and he shrugged.

"I'll sleep here tonight!" he stated sounding exhausted.

"Sure. Clean yourself first before going to sleep." I commented.

"Will do." He says as I lay on my bed to sleep.

"Hey you! Remember our deal?" the unknown guy asked as he held my hand.

"Yeah but you don't have to hold me!" I argued trying to remove myself from his grasp.

"Where's the fun in that?" he chuckled.

We spent the whole day around town and he treated me every place I wanted to eat.

"You're such a high maintenance girl." He grumbled as we passed a salon.

"I know. I can't help it." I giggled as my hair gets pampered.

"Since you refuse to tell me your name, I'll call you Princess blondie!" he exclaimed proudly.

"If that's the case, I'm calling you Idiotic knight!" I teased, making him annoyed and disgusted by the name.

"Oi! I ain't stupid! But, whatever." He rolled his eyes.

Right after the salon, we walked happily and passed by an old man who was selling some charms on the street.

We felt bad and decided to buy some items from him.

We racked his items for the perfect charms but almost gave up.

Until we found some perfect threaded bracelet with an insignia that looks really cool.

The threads were colored red and yellow while the little charm was steel but broken in half.

When you put the two halves together, it creates an amazing symbol.

Luckily, there's only one pair left.

"Mister? What's this charm supposed to be?" knight asked.

"That, my child is a Fairy Tail emblem." The old man says.

"Since when did fairies have tail?" I asked curiously.

"That's exactly why that charm was made. It's still not known if fairies have tails. It's like seeking for an answer which meant an adventure." He happily exclaimed.

"Do you like it, princess?" Knight asked and I nodded enthusiastically.

We bought it and when I was about to wear the charm, he took it from me and smiled.

"What's the big idea?" I asked crabbily.

He knelt in front of me and tied the charm by my ankle.
