Headphones (Natsu x Reader)

Mistake

~Your POV~

Last night...? What happened...?

I woke up to a freezing cold bed and a painful headache, otherwise known as, a hangover. Shit.

I hope I didn't do anything stupid...

I got up eventually and looked in the mirror. My make up was smudged and all across my face, on the pillow as well. My bed hair was worse then usual, it looked like a birds nest. I was still in my (f/c) party dress, my shoes discarded somewhere around the messy room. Speaking if it, it smells in here like...

Hold on... Whose house am I at?!

I started panicking, I didn't do anything like... 'That'... Did I? I looked around the room, messy, clothes on the floor. On the wooden desk in the corner, on the actual bed. But, they were all guys clothes... Then I noticed the cork board on the wall furthest from me.

It had pictures, hundreds of pictures. I picked one up, examining it closely. It was my birthday. After Natsu had given me my present, that I still wear to this day, we had played Snap. I'd finally beaten Natsu on the fiftieth try and thrown my cards in the air.

The photo was Natsu and I, laying amongst all the cards, grinning like idiots with me resting my head on his outstretched arm.

I picked up another, one of me in class, the first day of school... I'd been drawing randomly in my book and Natsu had taken a picture of me. I felt my cheeks heat up. Though there was a photo of everyone on here, most pictures were of me. Every time Natsu and I had done something together, he'd taken a photo...

I finally decided to head downstairs, where I find a passed out Natsu on the floor in front of the sofa. I poked his cheek.

"Natsu... Natsu... Natsy... Na Na... Watsu... Baby..." He still didn't move.

"Natsu~ I'm hungry~ Can we eat?" I whined, he only rolled on his side, waving a hand at me.  He's waking up whether he likes it or not!

"Natsu~" I put my hands on his shoulders and shook him in an attempt to awaken the heavy sleeper.

"Wake up~" I continued to whine until I saw his eyes open and look up at me.

"Stop jumping on me before I lose it..." He murmured.

"Huh? Wha- NATSU!" He'd woken up and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder.

"NATSU PUT ME DOWN!!!"

"Nope" he said, popping the 'P'.

"Bastard doesn't know how to let people walk..." I muttered under my breath.

"I heard that!"

"Wha-? How?!" No reply...

Natsu carried me all the way to Pancake Paradise. (I know, bad name but whatever) It was the biggest breakfast place in town! He finally set me down.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"For breakfast of course!" He replied with his signature grin.

"M'kay, what do ya want then?"

"Whatcha mean (Y/N)? I'm paying."

"What? No, at least let me pitch in!"

"Nope, my treat!" He said, clearly this was over.

"Alright then, your treat Natsu." Then I realised, I was a mess...

"N-Natsu... G-Gimmie a minute, I look horrible."

"No you don't, it's the make up that ruins your pretty face..." Natsu said, looking away. I felt my cheeks heat up.

"T-thanks... Natsu... I'll be back." I ran to the bathroom and wiped my make up off, took a little longer than expected but it was off.

I came back out, all fixed up, to find Natsu at a table with two plates of pancakes. One that looked like a choc-chilli pancake and another (insert favourite pancake flavour/topping) pancake for me, my favourite.

"Y-you remembered..."

"Course I did (Y/N)! Why wouldn't I?"
Nobody's ever remembered my favourite anything... And he's buying me breakfast, how sweet...

I walked up to him, engulfing him in a hug. He hugged back, I felt my eyes getting watery.

"Thank y-you Natsu... It m-means a lot t-to me..." I pulled back and his face went from a small smile to a slight panick.

"(Y/N)! Why are you crying?!"

"Cause I'm happy..."

"That doesn't make sense!"

"Does anything?"

"Good point..." He says wiping away my tears.

"But I still don't like it, eat up, it'll make you feel better. After all, stressed spelt backwards is desserts!"

"That's a random fact... But it's about food so it doesn't surprise me."

"Hey!" I giggled.  I wish it would be like this forever... With him...

*time skip to next day, brought to you by Lucy, still as drunk as last night*

~Natsu POV~
I'd walked with (Y/N) to school and she had to run off to get her sketch book for Art, leaving me alone in the cafeteria. Out of nowhere, Lucy ran up to me.

"H-hey, Natsu... I wanted t-to talk to y-you..." She started stuttering.

"Sure, what's up Luce?"

"W-well... How do I put I-it...? Natsu I l-like you... A-a lot... L-like m-more than f-friends... I-I w-wanted to know I-if you f-felt the same..." No, I'm not that stupid to be oblivious to what she just said. I shifted in my feet awkwardly.

I have a 'thing' for Lucy, I guess but I still prefer her as a friend. I rubbed the back of my neck, not wanting to hurt her or give her false hope.

"I dunno..." Her face seemed to darken, like she was really sad.

"I don't really know Luce, but I can try it for a week maybe, ya'know, to see how it's like... Maybe?" Her face brightened at my words.

"Really? Wow! Thank you!" She wrapped her arms around me and placed her lipstick covered lips on my cheek. I didn't feel anything. I felt no real love towards her, I would protect her and care for her cause she was my nakama, and she was precious to me but not like this. I only felt this for one person.

I heard footsteps down the hall. Turning my head, I saw (Y/N) hurrying down the hall with her sketch book and a ripped envelope, scrunched up in her hands... I fucked up...

~Your POV~
This was it, the day I said something to Natsu about... These 'feelings'. It was Valentines Day and I though it was a perfect time to tell. I made the excuse of getting my sketch book for Art, which was actually true, sorta but that's not the point!

What I wanted from my locker was the white envelope with the heart sticker at the top left corner. The words To: Natsu <3 written in my neatest hand writing and the words I love you... On the inside of a handmade card. ~From:Y/E (your entails (probes not how u spell it)

I would have slipped it in his bag so when he needed to get his sketch book out, he would see it.

I made it to the cafeteria door, just in time to see Natsu and Lucy hugging, Lucy kissing his cheek.

The tears slid down my cheeks as I heard my heart shatter in two. It hurt, a lot. I never used to feel sad, just numb... He let me feel again... I'm not feeling anymore. I can feel two tears staining my cheeks but I'm losing my heart again. It hurt for a while...

He was never mine to claim... He would never do this to me, never touch me, hug me, kiss me, love me...

I turned around, Letting my tears turn into waterfalls. I looked down at the envelope through my blurry vision and tore it in two, just like my heart.

I know he saw me, I could feel his gaze on my back. I kept going to the front of the school, clutching the spot where my heart should be.

"It hurts..." I whispered, walking home. "Happy Valentines Day..." I just felt numb.
