Life As A Delinquent (NaLu)

Chapter 14 The Final Chapter

I saw Gray drive up into the driveway. He parked and got out of his car.

"So... this is the place?" He asked

"Yup. This is the place I've lived in since I was young." I replied.

"Not bad for a guy who couldn't legally buy a house." Gray said with a smile.

"Well, this place is all yours. I already made the tax transfer and the place is paid off so you have really nothing to worry about." I told him.

"Thanks man. See you around someday, lemme know when your settled down and I might come over and get a drink." Gray said, holding out his hand.

I gripped his hand and held it tight. "For sure man, see you on the other side." I smiled and motioned Lucy to go.

Lucy smiled as she got off the phone with Levy. She followed me into the car.

"You ready Luce?" I asked happily.

"Yeah. Let's go." She replied.

"Gray!" I yelled out the window. He looked my way. "Don't fuck the place up! I'm counting on you!"

He smiled and gave me a thumbs up as I pulled out of the driveway and pulled out onto the street.

I began to drive away, already starting to miss the place. "Hey Lucy." I said.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Is it just me, or are you already missing this place too?" I asked. My facial expression didn't change whatsoever, but tears were flooding from my eyes. I knew I was going to see my friends again, but I couldn't help but miss them already.

Lucy looked at me in concern. "Are you alright?" She asked. She tried wiping the tears away but knew it'd be pointless at the rate they were falling.

"No, no I'm not. I'm ruining my imported leather seats." I replied in attempt to cheer myself up.

Lucy smiled a little and pressed a kiss on my cheek. "It'll be fine. I miss them too." Tears formed in her eyes too. "Damn it, now you're making me cry." She giggled slightly.

"Sorry, I really don't know why I'm crying." I said, wiping my tears away only for them to return instantly. "I gotta pull over, at this rate, I'll actually ruin my seats!" I said as I pulled into an abandon factory parking lot. I sat on the hood of my car and lit a cigarette. "Damnit......" I mumbled to myself.

Lucy walked over to me and leaned on me. I smiled and put my arm around her.

After at least 20 minutes I was ready to leave when suddenly, a group of people in a large pickup truck started coming down the street. I couldn't help but stare in complete shock as all of my teammates from my soccer team drove by, holding the Fairy Tail High's flag. They also put the words "Farewell Fairy Tails Best" on the flag. Everyone on the team was in tears as they held the flag high in the air, shouting at us to "stay safe" and "Goodbye".

"Damn it guys.... how'd you know where I was....?" I mumbled. I took a deep breath and yelled. "DAMN IT GUYS! GET THE FUCK BACK TO THE SCHOOL AND PRACTICE! I DON'T WANT TO SEE ONE MORE TEAR OUT OF YOU!" All the while, bawling my eyes out.

They all responded with a loud shout, continuing to cry. I turned around and walked towards the factory. I raised my fist and punched the brick wall of the factory as hard as I could. A small bit of the wall collapsed from the old age and the rest cracked along the wall.

"N-Natsu... are you alright?" Lucy asked nervously.

I turned around, my tears completely gone and my usual smile was back. "Yeah, ready to go?" I asked happily.

She smiled back. "Yeah, let's get out of here."

As I picked up the pace and drove out of the town, I entered the highway. The wind in our hair, The speed of my car, and the sunrise in the east, to my left. We were headed south west to the tropics. Our newest journey has begun.

Epilogue:

Grays POV:

"Thanks for telling us where he was, Elfman." Gray said to the giant white haired man.

"I just got a glimpse of him driving down this road when I passed." He paused for a moment. "That boy is finally a real man. Driving cross country with his girl. That's a real man!" He said.

They all got back to Natsu's garage. A strange man was waiting in a beautiful, silver luxury car. "Who's this guy?" Gray asked as the rest of the crew questioned the same thing.

"Hey, you must be Natsu's friend." He stated in an unsettling tone.

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Gray reached behind him and placed his hand on the gun I left in the bottom drawer of my tool box.

"I want to know where he's headed. We're mutually acquainted, you see." He said very formally.

"He left to start over again. I don't know exactly where he is, you'll have to figure that out for yourself." Gray said, lowering his guard slightly, although still having his hand on the gun.

"Thank you for your trouble. I'll be heading off now." He said getting into his car and backing out of the driveway.

"Natsu, don't worry.... I'll find you."

PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S UP?!?!?!?! "Hey, Genesis, what's with the virtual shouting using caps lock?" Thats a good question, strangely observant reader! This story is done!!!!! Finished!!!!! A completed masterpiece!!!!!!!! I'm happy that everyone enjoyed this story and I'll most likely be starting the sequel soon!

"One more question, Genesis. WHY did the relationship between Natsu and Lucy escalate so quickly?" Another good question, strangely observant reader. That's because in my mind, a longer time than just a few weeks passed by in my mind when I was writing the story, I just forgot to specify that there were a lot of time skips. See, in my mind, every chapter, 1 month passed. I just forgot to go in depth with that. There's your answer lol, sorry for not being specific with the times

I also want to take the time to break the ice. I've been planning this for a while, but I'm entering this very story into the 2016 Wattys!!!!!!!! Hopefully it'll be at least some competition for the other stories. If somehow, I win, I will buy a Natsu cosplay and walk around a busy part of Ohio, thanking everyone I meet for no reason whatsoever!

Okay, so I've had an idea. Would you all be interested in a series of one shots about Natsu and Lucy's adventures to there new place? Or would no one read it? Lemme know and based on the answers, I'll get going on the new part right away!

Alright! As always, thanks for reading, thanks for your support everyone, wish me luck in this year's Wattys and I'll see you all in the next book!!!!!!!
