Ch 7: Dandelions...

~ Natsu's P.O.V. ~

My life is becoming a mess once again. I thought that meeting Lucy would turn the tables. It did for about a month, but now? Marriage? Why did Lisanna have to ruin everything? 
Lucy had painted the smile that my mother's death had erased.

But now?

That question keeps repeating itself in my head like a scratched disc. I just--

"--Sir, the ceremony is going to start in a couple of minutes," The maid presented the information.

"Yes, I am aware of that. Let them know that I'm finished and on my way."

"Very well sir."

. . . .

"And here comes my beloved son," My father's words were so fake that I was suprised everyone else didn't notice.
"Lisanna is almost ready Natsu which means you're going to be married in a short amount of time."

What about Luce?

"The music is playing, Natsu. Go to your place!"
I hurried to my spot waiting for Lisanna's stupid to come out of the doors.

As I was told, Lisanna in a white gown came walking with the soothing music in the distance.

The music I wanted-- no --needed to hear with Luce walking towards me with her gorgeous self.
This is the worst descion I have ever made, Luce. Why Lisanna and not you?

"Don't I look fabulous, Natsu?"

"Huh? Oh right. Yes, darling."

"Good boy."

. . . .

"Do you, Natsu Dragneel, take Lisanna Strauss to be your wife?"

"I-- I-- um."

I turned to look at my father and then at Lisanna.

The two people I hated most at this point.

"I -- don't."

"Excuse you? Natsu, what the hell are you saying? You love me."

"My mother always said to marry only if you understand.
Only if you understand that if you make this decision, you will forever love them and be with them. To be their torch in the dark.
To be their sun in their sunflower garden.
Only if you understand what love means. And . . . ."

At this point everyone was glaring at me with venom dripping from the stare.

"I know that I don't love you, Lisanna because I know what love is.
So I really hope you find that someday because I have and it's truly a wonderful spell."

"Natsu!" Lisanna called my name as I sprinted towards the doors.
The only way to get away from this hell is to run.
I need to start a new life.
A life were I make my own choices.
A life were I can run freely in the garden. I want that life.

My mother spoke of that life, but I always that it was just a cute fairy tale is told to make me sleep.
But, maybe . . .

Just

Maybe

It truly exists with Luce.
