Like A Cinderella Story (GrayLu)

LACS 07

👑

Natsu was walking silently in the Palace's hall, a gloomy aura surrounding him.

Ever since his talked with Loke, he never spoked to him.

He can't just bring himself to, he's afraid that he'll cry and beg him not to quit.

He sighed deeply as he was going to his room but stopped right on the spot as he saw Loke with his father and teacher on across the hall.

Natsu was frozen, can't seem to move his own body.

Fear crawls inside him.

"No.." He thought. "It can't be."

Just as Loke was going to disappear through walls, he caught Natsu's widen eyes.

He smiled sadly after mouthing 'I'm sorry.'  to him.

Natsu's books fell on the ground after that.

"Leviiiiiiiii!!"

"What?" Toothbrush on her mouth, Levi answered Lucy- who barged into Levi and Lily's room.

Compared to Lucy's room who's way bigger than Levi and Lily's, its more enough for them.

They have their own room in the Heartfilia mansion and they can't thank the Heartfilia's enough, not only that- Levi's father, who's always driving the carriage of Jude Heartfilia, earned a land from Lucy's father because he's been working for them for 10 years already, since Lucy was born.

Now, Levi's family was saving some money to make their own house.

"Guess who's outside!" Lucy said happily, obviously excited.

In three years, Lucy haven't change- always bubbly and more adventurous, only when her parents are not around.

"Loke!" Lucy spilled it out before Levi can guess.

Levi quickly gargled her mouth with water, a huge smile on her face crawls up.

It's been two years since the last time she saw him, because Levi was on the country side to study there, she just can't afford Lucy's school so Lily had no choice but to let Levi go to Lily's sister's house to study in different town.

But now she's back, only because Lucy was so lonely when she's not around- the only thing that can make Lucy smile that time was her wild horse, Plue.

Layla, Lucy's mother told that Levi should stay and study with Lucy in her school and they don't need to worry about the money because Jude agreed that the girls should study together.

Lily can't argue enough because she knows her daughter misses Lucy a lot too that time.

Levi was going to exit their room but notice that she's in her pajama dress, before she can utter a word that she needs to change first- Lucy pulled her out already.

"L-lucy!"

Loke sighed, watching the flowers dance alongside with the wind.
