Only a Key [Loke x Reader]

Lies and Funerals.

Sitting in the infirmary bed, Loke sways in a chair beside me.

"Hey." I startle him.

"How come I can't remember what happened on the mission!?" He immediately asks.

"I can't tell you, ok? You'll know when the time comes." I smile, he nods, respecting my decision. Mira walks into the room.

"Hey guys. The funeral is today." She frowns, I jump out of the uncomfortable bed, where I walk past her, no expression on me face.

Time to pick my dress..

The guild all stand motionless, all in black, I disappear out of the door, and towards Fairy Hills, some enter the place, while others exit, heading through the doors, I make my way to my room, where Erza stands in a dress, sitting on her bed, looking at her lap, her head doesn't move when the door closes.

Ignoring her, I walk to my closet, where I pick out some black stockings, with a plain, mid thigh dress, and black stilletos, putting my hair, half up, half down, my bangs fall onto my face, and I loosely curl my hair, chucking on a black headband, I appear from the bathroom, where Erza stands at the door, waiting.

Well.. Let's get this over with..

__

Me and Erza were the last ones to sit, and the ceremony starts, Makarov saying everything for us. But I don't hear it, I don't want to hear it, I stand up, making my chair creak a bit, everyone looks at me, as I walk away, disappearing from anyone's view.

Why don't you join her?

I ain't listening to you.

Why not? Join me is well, since you were the one that made me suffer.

Go die, wait, you already did.

The war starts in my mind, the wind flying onto my face, my curls move slightly, and the tears stain my face, branches rip my stockings, as I rip my dress, taking off my stilletos, I feel mud slipping through the tiny holes, as my feet become wet. Rain falls down on me, hiding the tears I wish to show, my eyes go slightly red, keeping my posture, I venture into the forest, hiding from the weather above. A slight breeze runs through the forest, dodging the trees, it sends shivers down my spine, placing my body on the ground, I gasp in exhaustion. But why am I already tired? I notice the sky setting, I've been walking all day?

The others must be worried, who cares, they'll find me tomorrow. I place myself against a tree, letting myself relax, I close my eyes, and listen to the nature around me, the birds chirping, the wind hollowing, and the rain, dripping from leave to leave, eventually hitting the soil beside me, my hand gets wet, so I move it. Opening my eyes, I see someone infront of me.

"Yea?" I ask.

"You just up and left." The person sat, crossed legged infront of me.

"I couldn't handle it, and I don't want the guild to see me as weak." I state, I feel something warm against my hand, to see the persons on mine, smiling at me, his hoodie falls off, and I see all his ruined features, his bloodshot eyes, tear stained face, and a frown on top of it all.

"Everyone started getting worked up when you left.. It's like you keep everyone sane." He chuckles.

I just sign, "Maybe I don't want to be the one to keep them sane." I look at the ground.

"Look at me." He orders, I look up, into his bloodshot eyes, "You amazing, and have so many talents, whenever your around, it's like you stop everything, everyone is so happy. Lisanna may be gone, but she's still in our hearts, so come on. Come back and make everyone smile." He stands up, holding his hand out, I take it, but instead of walking, I wrap my arms around his neck, and I press my face into his chest, his arms immediately wrapping around my waist.

"Thanks.. Loke." I mumble.

Walking into the guild, everyone looks at me, and smiles.

"Hey guys! Let's play some games!" I grin, everyone still in there dark clothing, they all just chuckle at my outburst.

"How about Truth or Dare?" Mira smiles, most agree, and we all sit in a circle, "Y/N first, Truth or Dare?" She smirks.

"Dare!" I stretch.

"Sit in.. Loke's lap for the rest of the game." She grins, I move to the side, where I now sit in his lap, he leans against a support beam, so both his arms wrap around my waist.

"Macao, Truth or Dare?" I smile.

"Did it!" Gray gasps, walking into the guild, he has a strawberry cake, which he throws onto Erza's face, for she didn't hear what the dare was.

"MY CAKE!" She screams.

"..And, I never got caught! Back then was the good old days." Wakaba finishes his story about getting away from the whole army.

"You amazing.. Teach me your ways!" I squeal.

"Sure, one time kiddo." He smiles, I nod.

__

"..Till this day, I've never lost a drinking competition." Cana smirks.

"Well, you'll soon lose." Gray challenges, "Cause I heard Y/N is a little drinker herself." He winks at me, causing myself to turn pale.

"Haha.. LEMME KILL GRAY FIRST!" I jump up from my spot on Loke, to chase Gray.

"YOU HAVE TO STAY ON LOKE!" Mira charges after me, causing a race between three to commence. I give up, and I run upstairs, to see Laxus standing there smirking.

"Help!" I squeal, hiding behind him.

"Rather not." He smirks at me, which earns him a kick over the railing, where he lands on Natsu, who shoves him into Elfman, and a brawl between the guys start, while the girls just laugh. I join everyone downstairs.

"Sorry to ruin the fun, but I'm tired, night everyone!" I smile, then walk out.
