In Living Colors

Chapter 11

"That was amazing!" I jumped up and down as we were leaving the building.

"I have to admit that was pretty amazing."

"I already want to go back again."

"They're open every Friday, so when they open again I'll take you."

"Promise?" I held out my pinky finger.

He laughed, "Promise." He wrapped his pinky finger around mine.

"So where to next?" I asked.

"We're going to Erza's job."

"You mean the really crazy one?"

He laughed, "So you remember her?"

"Yeah, it wasn't that long ago."

"Yeah, your right." I glanced at him and saw his eyes softened and a small smile starting to form.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Nothing much, except being here with you."

I felt my face start to burn again.

"I love it when I get to see you blush," he said, smirking.

"I'm not!" I said, even though I dont know what that is, "I just..."

"Just what?" He laughed.

"Nothing." I pouted and turned my head while cursing to myself for letting him see me like that, "Come on, let's get going."

The drive was smooth and relaxing. The cool breeze hitting my face and the relaxing music in the background.

Feels like heaven.

"I'm really glad you came Luce."

"I know, you told me like a million times." I laughed.

"Im serious Luce. You coming with me means a lot to me. I really appreciate you." He turned to me to give his signature heatwarming smile but, something about him was different.

I gasped. H-His eyes.

"What wrong? Is there something on my face?" He started wiping his face randomly.

I couldn't speak. I just stared at his eyes in awe. He snapped his fingers in my face, bringing me back to reality, "what's wrong? You went out of space."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare."

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah," I smiled, "I'm fine." I stared back out the window, still trying to process what I just saw.

His eyes had color.

We arrived at Erza's job. I was already ready for another taste of her strawberry cakes.

He got out the car and sniffed the air, "food."

We walked inside. Everything was still the same, except there were more costumers. The smell of fresh food and coffee filled my nose.

I heard a bell ring, "one order of strawberry cake!" The cook said.

"I really want one!" I said, drooling.

He chuckled, "Alright, I'll buy you one."

"Are you sure?" I asked, "I don't want to spend all of your money."

"Don't worry, you won't." We found the booth we were sitting at the last time.

"I guess you can say this is our special spot." Natsu smirked.
