Decisions

Sorry, I'm not dead. Well, I don't know.... I was in Scotland, where I had no wifi! First camp, now this, TORTURE.! But here I am, alive.

Natsu pov

When I woke up, my head was on a pillow of sorts. I listened and I heard breathing. I peeked my eyes open a tiny bit and saw Lucy. Thankfully she wasn't looking at me and I closed my eyes to think of something smart and witty to say to her like

'We end up like this a lot, don't we?'

But as I was about to make a witty comment, someone had to come and talk to Lucy, so I stayed silent.
It was Mirajane, Lisanna's sister. Nice, well nicer than Lisanna for sure. I still wonder why I started dating Lisanna.
Their conversation went along the lines of Mira asking if Lucy was okay, and saying if she needed any help, she would be their to help. As the feet patterned away, I contemplated the time to 'wake up' but once again, I was stopped and suddenly was dropped to the ground. I tried to muffle a groan, but it didn't work. She quickly apologized and for a minute I thought she had know that I was awake the whole time, but as I opened my eyes, I saw her body maneuvering through the crowd of stage crew. I quickly got up to find her.

When I shifted my way through the mob, I found her crouching behind an old cleaning cart, watching two people. It was Lisanna and Mirajane. Lucy was too curious. Before I could see what she was doing there, Gray decided to pull me. As usual he had the worst timing to pop in and do something.

Gray dragged me towards the dressing room, and I realized that we were still wearing the clothes from the show. I had forgotten, as usual. We burst in there, bickering about the random, calling each other names such as Ice Princess and Fire Head. Even though it had been a hectic few weeks with the disappearance of Lucy and such, in this moment, we were messing around and having fun, like we usually do.

Gajeel looked at us like we were insane, which happened a lot, before rolling his eyes and looking away. I scowled. That wasn't normal. He would usually join in, but he just turned away. Gray noticed that too, since his brow was pulled together, a confused expression evident on his face. We looked at each other and we had the same question

What's up with gajeel?

We glanced back at him, and he had a smile on his face. Not the one he usually has while he's fighting, no, this one was soft. It was disgusting. Then it occurred to us. Gray and I looked at each other, we had to find out. I tested my theory. I whispered one sentence in his ear.

"Levy is looking for you." his face went scarlet and he quickly stood up, but I pulled him down.

" just joking!" It became evident to us.

Gajeel was in love.

We started giggling and acting like we were 11. (No offense to 11 year olds). It occurred to me that perhaps the others had drama too. And I wasn't alone. While I was deciding my heart and mind, gajeel was confessing to himself about his love for, of course, Levy.

And in these few moments, Natsu knew who he picked.

And so Natsu rushed after to find Lisanna.

It's a little late now, but prayers to the families of Orlando and Nice.... And an apology for me thinking gajeel was dead....god bless Mira. ( she might be dead or not?, I'm confused)
