Down In Flames

3

Natsu POV:

I had come to crave the experiences of nighttime, when the stars kissed the sky, decorating it like exquisite jewels. The sea glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of the pale white moon.

Yet, I had not talked to the blondie. I'm not being a stubborn coward, I'm just thinking how to face her. She must be mad after what I done to her.

"Natsu, why you are doing here?" Gildart questioned me and punched my shoulder.

I took a deep breath and decided to ask for Gildarts advices. After all, he knew women more than I did.

Lucy POV:

Fascinated by the charm of the ivory moon, I raised my hand and covered the moon. The moon here was bigger than the one I usually see.

Aching to write, I picked up a pen and a yellowish paper from the night stand.

Dear Mother,

It had been one day since I last see you. Many things happened just one single day. Don't worry, mother. I'm doing fine here. I promise.

Unfortunately, I can't promise whether I will be back home. I'm captured by a bunch of pirates because I witnessed a man get killed by one of their kind. Pirates did exist like how you tell me fairy tale when I was young before bedtime. I guessed I'm fated to meet them.

Today, I meet a new friend. Her name is Levy. She is a pirate as well. Before she became a pirate, she was saved by one of the crew. The way how she described her story somehow change my opinion about pirates.

But that does not stop me from missing you and father. I really want to see you again. Now, I'm looking at the shining stars as I make a wish to be reunite with you and father again.

Love you,
Lucy.

Folding the letter, I placed it in one of the drawer.

The door handle began to turn as my heart skipped a beat.

"Levy-chan?" I quickly wiped my tears. I could not let Levy know I'm crying. If not, she will be sad.

"She is busy." Natsu fixed his gaze at me and locked the door.

"What do you want?" I hissed at him.

"This is my room." He raised his left eyebrow crossed his arms.

"Now, this is my room." I told him.

"I came here not to argue with you."

"Then, what?"

"After much consideration, I have made a choice. Now, you are Mrs Dragneel or should I say Lucy Heartfilia Dragneel." He grabbed my chin roughly.

Preview of Chapter 4:

"If you want to marry me, propose to me properly." I requested to him.
