You're The One (Nalu AU Fanfiction)

~*Chapter 49*~ Reveals [Edited]

~Lucy's POV~

"Okay, we are here." I look out at the orange-yellowish sunset out in the distance. The sun touching the mountains peak. The grey clouds about to cover the sun. I rest my elbows on the concrete wall on the balcony. I rest my chin on my hands. I look down and I see the beautiful swimming pool.

"I'm sorry, Luce." Natsu said as he stands right next by me. I sighed. He would've said that he was Natsu from the beginning!

"Why are you wearing a wig?" I asked him, trying not to be annoyed.

"Well, Levy said that it would stand out." He said as he rests his arms on the wall and bends down a bit to get in the same height as me.

"Oh I see... That's very smart of Levy. People would recognize you as the almighty Fire Dragon." I teased him. But it didn't change Natsu.  "Who else is here besides you?"

"Just me, Erza, Gray, Juvia, Jellal, Gajeel, Levy, Mira, Lisanna, Wendy and another guy who you never met yet." He answered, while looking at the sunset.

"Someone whom I never met? What's his name??" I asked in excitement.

"His name is Laxus. He is Gramps's grandson. Remember that we were talking about him?" He explained to me, but in a serious tone. Why is he acting this way?

"That's right! I can't wait to meet him!"

"He can be really serious and sometimes people are scared of him."

"Well, I don't care. He is human after all." I said with confidence, trying to make him be happy. Somehow he looks so... Depressed...

There was a moment of silence as the wind blew to our faces, making my hair flow with the wind. I moved positions. I stood up straight and rested my hands on the balcony wall, while I see Natsu still in the same position. As the breeze stopped, Natsu broke the silence.

"Now, it's my turn to ask you some questions."

"Huh?"

He turns to look at me. Something in his eyes made me really scared. In his eyes, I can tell that he is angry. About what?

"Why would you go back here? To this place??" He asked, angrily. My eyes widened. " you known that this place is dangerous."

"I..." I looked down for a moment. I can't keep it hidden."I wanted to protect you all."

"Lucy..." He said.

I can feel some tears are about to come out. Don't cry... Don't cry... 

"I wanted to protect you and everyone! You guys are precious to me and I don't want to lose any of you! You guys are my friends! I don't want you guys to be in my business. I'll end up making you guys get hurt! Seeing the dojo being taken away, I saw your face... It killed me to see your face like that... I don't want you guys in my business because," I turn my head to face him. A little bit of tears came down my cheeks. "You are all precious to me..." I sniffed. I looked down and tried to wipe off my tears, but more came out. As I tried to wipe off the tears, I heard footsteps coming this way. I saw Natsu's shoes. I look up at him. His eyes covered by the shadow of his hair.

"N-Natsu?" I sniffed. He grabs both my hands gently. His warmth of his hands. My heart started pounding. His face is lowered down.

"So, that's how it is..." He looks up and smiles with his mouth closed. My eyes widened. He lets go of one of my hands and wipes the tears with his hand. Then, he pulls me in for a hug. I gasped.

"N-Natsu..."

"You dummy... You worried me so much... Seriously, leaving a note at your empty apartment? You're such an idiot." He said.
